Chapter 589 The Matrix of the Ghost Worm

Chapter 589 The Matrix of the Ghost Worm

The autumn wind blows by; the moon hangs in the sky.

On this cold night, a lonely shadow wanders in the street of Qiu City aimlessly. There is no one else in the street. This weary body looks more like a wandering ghost.

She is wearing a long white dress, with her dry hair unbraided and naturally shattered on her shoulders.

She is walking more and more slowly.

Finally, she collapses.

Out of her body come light spots.

They look like the sparks spurted when the forged iron is hammered.

Those things crawl on the ground. There are about tens of them.

A ghost walks out of the darkness.

He looks no older than 30 years old, wearing a grey Chinese tunic suit, with a pale face and deep, dark eyes.

The worms slowly crawl to his feet.

Then his body floats horizontally, paralleling with the earth.

With his face towards the cement ground, the gap between the man and the ground is merely a few centimeters.

“Whoosh.”

“Whoosh.”

He keeps sticking out his tongue and swallowing the “light spots” into his belly, as if he is mimicking a toad.

Tens of light spots vanish soon. Then a beam of dark red light shows within his belly.

Meanwhile, his capability is quickly enhanced.

Then, a sound of explosion comes.

The spot lights turn into hundreds of ones, crawling to different directions.

Three or two form a group.

Then they will return, multiplied by tens of times or even hundreds of times.

Under the lamp, Gao Ge dressed in black sportswear stares at what is happening with a poker face.

He saw the girl’s death but he couldn’t do anything about it.

Because he felt that the girl in the white dress had been extremely weak.

She was like a candle burning in the outdoors.

As long as a breeze blows by, it will be immediately put out.

Even with his powers of star, Gao Ge couldn’t restore her seriously injured soul.

It is a kind of torment for Gao Ge too.

He has to watch an ordinary person die before him and yet, he can’t do anything about it.

Gao Ge has conceived an idea...

He returns to the quadrangle courtyard.

He fetches a pen and a sheet of paper. Then he writes on it and revises.

In the end, he writes a full page.

“Ghost worm, a type of legendary venomous insects.”

“With a strong reproductive capacity, it can hide in the souls of animals, including human beings, maintain alive and reproduce by eating souls.”

“The powerful ghosts as strong as Ghost Commanders or stronger can devour ghost worms, and then the worms will divide and multiply by ten times to continue looking for hosts to reproduce themselves.”

...

The above information is the result of Gao Ge’s observation in the recent time.

He can destroy the ghost worms but he doesn’t rush to do that, because he needs enough information so that he can handle them as much as possible.

Luckily, the Dragon Court has found a way to cope with the ghost worms.

Of course, it is a way to curb them but not destroy them radically.

They regard the ghost worm as a kind of parasite and then find a way to get rid of it, which takes a long time.

However, by now, Gao Ge hasn’t figured out why the ghost worms are released. To ruin the city? What good does it do to the ringleader?

Faced with these doubts, Gao Ge is not anxious, because he knows what he needs to do next is to dispel the doubts.

According to his speculation, even if these things are not directly related to Meng Jing, they must have something to do with her somehow. Yet, he still firmly believes that Meng Jing will never kill the innocent people.

Putting down the pen, he rubs his face and then hears someone knocking on the door. He coughs and then sits up, “Come in.”

Holding a pot of tea, Tang Jiusi walks in and puts away the tea. He sees the paper and then takes a glance at it. Instantly, he is greatly astonished.

“You’ve known it?”

Gao Ge looks at him and then laughs.

Judging from Tang Jiusi’s current reaction, Gao Ge realizes that what he wrote down and his speculation based on that are correct.

“Did the people of the Dragon Court tell you about it?” Tang Jiusi asks.

He is pretty sure that he has never disclosed these things. After all, it has been quite some years since he joined the Dragon Court. It is never a difficult thing for him to keep his lips buttoned.

“No.” Gao Ge shakes his head.

Tang Jiusi’s facial expression suddenly becomes complicated.

If it is not the people of the Dragon Court who tell Gao Ge, the answer goes without saying.

Gao Ge discovers these things himself.

In fact, it is not difficult to gain the information through observation but speculating based on it is quite complex. And it is even harder to ensure the correctness of the speculation.

Gao Ge alone doesn’t have sufficient information channels or personnel, but he can analyze the acquired information to this surprising extent. Evidently, he has astonishingly strong powers of observation and speculation.

It is fair enough to say that any member of the Dragon Court, including Fire Dragon and Water Dragon, will be astounded in awe to see the page.

Tang Jiusi ponders over it and also gives a resigned smile.

“It is a huge loss that you quit the Dragon Court.”

Looking at Tang Jiusi, Gao Ge says, “Recently, has there been any more death?”

“Much fewer, but these ghost worms are still sprawling within the city,” Tang Jiusi says, “According to some experts in legendary venomous insects we draw the conclusion that it is not impossible to get rid of the ghost worms radically.”

“Oh?” Gao Ge asks, “What do you mean?”

Tang Jiusi coughs, hedges and reaches out his hand, “Give me a cigarette.”

Gao Ge immediately takes out a pack of the common Pride Kuanzhai cigarettes.

Both of them light a cigarette.

“Since you have found so much information, it doesn’t matter for me to tell a bit more. After all, as long as you have time to consult a few experts in legendary venomous insects, you can acquire the information and then find this out through analysis. That is, it is pretty difficult to destroy the ghost worms one by one and they are hard to be noticed, unless the host’s soul has been devoured, which is a long process. However, if we find the matrix of the ghost worms, we will be able to destroy them for good.”

“The matrix?” Gao Ge feels as if he were watching an American zombie movie.

“Is it hard to understand? Actually, it is not complicated. There are two matrixes in total. All the ghost worms are reproduced by them and these two matrixes must stay within a ghost. The more souls these ghost worms devour, the stronger the ghost will get. Given the current situation, the ghost must have grown really strong beyond our imagination.”

Gao Ge frowns.

He was pondering why the ghost worms were released.

Now he has acquired the answer from the information provided by Tang Jiusi.

The matrix feeds on numerous ghost worms and then supports another strong ghost directly.

“He is at least stronger than a Ghost King?” Gao Ge smacks his mouth and says.

“So he is.”

“Then the Ghost Sect is the mastermind?” Gao Ge asks.

“It’s hard to say,” Tang Jiusi says, “However, apart from the Ghost Sect, we can’t think of anyone else.”

“The damned beasts...” Gao Ge curses in a deep voice.
