Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

"Heartworms are parasitic species. They typically parasitize the host's heart, and their tentacles replace the heart muscle, controlling the host's behavior along the spinal nerves. The host remains conscious while being controlled."

Sirin repeated, word by word, the information she had just seen with the Eye of Akasha.

"It has two weaknesses: First, the high-frequency oscillating energy can kill it, but the host will also die. Second, if it kills the host and does not regenerate a host within an hour, it will also die."

Lu Ze's expression turned ashen upon hearing this, meaning that after being parasitized, their lives were intertwined.

He gazed into An Linyue's eyes.

Deep within those pupils, he saw a faint light, which should be An Lin Yue's own consciousness.

Thorn Worm tilted its head and looked at him, using An Lin Yue's face to grin and reveal a smile that no normal person could possibly make.

"That's right, she's alive and well. So, Lu Ze... can you bear to kill me?"

After saying that, it stuck out its tongue, licked its lips, and then tilted its head back and laughed triumphantly.

"Hahaha... You know what? She looks pretty when she cries."

Laughter echoed in the conference room, like fingernails scraping across a blackboard, jarring and arrogant.

Lu Ze did not speak.

He stood there, his face ashen, his mind racing.

There are many ways to kill heartworms, but a method that kills the worm, saves the person, and makes the creature suffer a painful death requires careful consideration.

He also had the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill he brought back from the Journey to the West world.

Even if An Linyue wanted to die, it would be difficult.

Just as Lu Ze was pondering, Black Tower appeared in front of Sirin.

"Little sister Sirin, could I take a look at your eyes later?"

Lu Ze's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

This is terrible!!!

Sure enough, as soon as Xilin heard the word "research," her face immediately darkened.

This word is the one she hates most.

At the Tower of Babel, whenever the group of people in white coats mentioned "research," a needle would fall.

However, considering that Lu Ze was still nearby, she didn't lash out on the spot. Instead, she kept a dark expression on her face and pursed her lips into a thin line.

Sirin cares about Lu Ze, but Bella doesn't have that concern.

In her world, anyone who angers the Queen must pay the price.

In an instant, her right hand was covered with fine dragon scales, her fingers transformed into sharp claws, and she flashed towards the black tower.

Black Tower dodged the attack by sidestepping.

As she backed away, she cast a pleading look at Lu Ze.

She just lacks empathy; she's not stupid. Of course, she knows that what she just said hit a nerve with Celine.

Even without her saying so, Lu Ze would never let the two of them actually fight. He's not like Spark, who enjoys watching the drama unfold.

With a swift movement, Lu Ze appeared between the two.

Stop.

Lu Ze easily blocked Bella's claw attack.

With his current strength, he could even block Bella's full-force attack.

But who is Bella? She won't listen to Luze.

Just as she was preparing to gather her strength and take down Lu Ze as well, she heard Xilin's voice from behind.

"Bella, come back."

Bella withdrew from her attack stance and looked at her queen with some confusion.

Celine did not go to see her.

She just stared at Lu Ze, her golden eyes unwavering, wanting to see what he was going to do.

Is it biased towards their side, or do they want to protect the Black Tower?

Luze certainly wouldn't speak up for Black Tower.

He came up to Sirin, reached out and touched her head, his palm resting on the top of her soft hair, then turned to look at the Black Tower.

"Why don't you come and apologize to Xiao Xilin right now?"

The black tower naturally descended the steps.

She stepped forward, adopting a humble tone: "I'm sorry, Celine, I said something I shouldn't have."

Xilin simply gave a faint "hmm" in response.

She didn't care about Black Tower's apology; all she ever cared about was Lu Ze's attitude.

Clearly, Lu Ze did not disappoint her.

But that's about it.

Seeing that she was still not in a good mood, Lu Ze leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

"Don't be angry, little Xilin. Next time your brother takes you out to play, he won't take her."

The sound wasn't loud, just enough for everyone present to hear.

When he said "go out to play," he naturally meant go to another world.

Upon hearing this, Xilin's eyes lit up immediately, and her face instantly brightened, faster than turning the pages of a book.

She happily deactivated her Herrscher form, her gorgeous purple dress vanishing like smoke, and she transformed back into the little girl in her casual clothes.

She took Lu Ze's arm, raised her chin slightly, and looked at Black Tower with a smug expression, her face clearly saying:

See? My brother still loves me the most.
