Inside the morgue.
The corpses were placed in rows in the room, and because of the large number of them, the spacious room seemed extremely crowded.
Zhou Zhilu walked past the corpses with a complicated expression, looking at these familiar faces.
This was the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion. Zhou Zhilu remembered that this man often took some new maids into the alleys.
This is the wife of the Chen family. She went to the pharmacy to buy wolfberries a few days ago.
This is Wang, the maidservant in the Chen Mansion. The master of the Chen Mansion always goes to her room.
Alas... they were separated by the Yin and Yang overnight, Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Zhilu walked to Tu Qing's side and watched Tu Qing cut open the abdomen of a corpse with a knife.
Then he reached in and felt around inside, and took out a phantom silkworm, but it was already dead.
Then I checked several other bodies and found the same thing.
Tu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "These Illusionary Heart Silkworms are still larvae. After parasitizing these people's bodies, they did not leave after the host died, but died together with the host. This is quite strange.
"But with so many of them, it at least proves that there must be a female moth here!"
Liu Yong asked doubtfully, "But didn't we find any traces of other monsters during our last exploration?"
Tu Qing explained, "This shows that the mother moth is hiding very well. These people's stomachs basically only contain some water, with no food residue. So I guess these Illusionary Heart Silkworms most likely entered their stomachs mixed with water when they were still eggs."
Zhou Zhilu's eyes lit up. "Well water! The Chen family has a well, and the drinking water is drawn from the well. If the eggs are already in the well, then the mother moth... must be at the bottom of the well!"
Liu Yong suddenly realized: "No wonder I couldn't find any traces last time. It turns out he's hiding at the bottom of the well!"
Tu Qing nodded, looked intently at the Illusionary Silkworm in his hand, and said, "It's so hidden, and so well-planned. This demonic plague... I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Zhou Zhilu nodded in agreement, and suddenly noticed Ling Qingxue standing in a daze beside a corpse while he was lost in thought.
The body was that of a young man, and Zhou Zhilu recognized him as the son of the Chen family.
Next to the boy's body was the body of a little girl.
At this moment, Ling Qingxue exuded a cold murderous intent, which made Zhou Zhilu look at her sideways.
As if she had noticed Zhou Zhilu's gaze, Ling Qingxue glared at him coldly and shouted, "What are you looking at!"
After saying that, he walked out of the morgue without looking back.
Zhou Zhilu was bewildered and blinked his innocent eyes. Why wouldn't he even be allowed to look?!
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhou, don't be angry. That's just her temper." Tu Qing explained on the side.
Then he looked at Ling Qingxue's leaving back and sighed: "Qingxue might be thinking of her family."
Zhou Zhilu looked over in confusion.
Tu Qing explained, "Qingxue lived in a village when she was little. Unfortunately, a monster broke into the village and killed 20 to 30 people. When I arrived, she was the only one left in the village."
Zhou Zhilu fell silent after hearing this.
