Chapter 293: Tensions Rising
On that fragment, between two tiny water-shaped runes, there was a golden glow floating...
There are also two thin white lines wandering back and forth.
This is……
Wen Nan was staring intently when a head came over.
Yu Shujun knelt on one knee beside Wen Nan, followed Wen Nan's line of sight, looked at the runes on the fragment, and soon discovered the thin white lines moving back and forth inside.
The "white line" was very thin, like a mosquito's leg, and it moved quickly back and forth in the golden groove. It looked like some kind of parasite, between a nematode and a hookworm, which made people's scalp tingle.
Yu Shujun stared at it for a while, then said a name in a deep voice: "It's a Gu worm, the Heart-drilling Gu."
...Heart-drilling Gu?
Soon, a corresponding prompt sounded in the system——
9527: [Heart-drilling Gu, a mind-control tool, can enter the target's blood circulation through skin contact and further erode the heart.
After the Heart-Drilling Gu successfully erodes the target's heart, the Gu worm controller can issue an order to the eroded target. If the target fails to follow the order, it will continue to suffer from the heart-drilling pain, and the pain will increase over time until the order is completed or the Gu worm is removed.
Hearing the name and the introduction, Wen Nan immediately recalled what Yang Mingzhong had said before - that the [Ghost Tamer Alliance] guild usually has three ways of controlling characters or even players. In addition to the character's own control patterns and the item [Thousands of Threads], the third way is to use Gu.
It seems that now this [Heart-Drilling Gu] is the third way for them to control other people.
This fragment had always been in Wei Zhe's hands. After Wen Nan killed him, his player account was cancelled and his equipment column was taken back by the system, and then the fragment fell.
In other words, if Wei Zhe had not been killed by Wen Nan, then this [Heart-Drilling Gu] should have continued to work on Wei Zhe.
It seems that although President Carl Milak gave all his staff fragments to his subordinates in order to investigate the situation of the staff sheath in this instance, he did not trust his subordinates enough and was worried that they would snatch his fragments, so he added many restrictions.
He bound the fragments to his account and set a loan period of 168 hours, but he still felt that it was not enough. It seemed that he was afraid that the members who got the fragments would use the enhanced effect of the Matthew fragments to backstab him during the loan period and seize the fragments. So he put an additional [Heart-Drilling Gu] in the fragments. In this way, even if this "stand-in" wanted to have bad intentions during the loan period and tried to attack the president, he would have to take into account the consequences of the [Heart-Drilling Gu] and be forced to stop his stupid behavior.
Thinking of this, Wen Nan couldn't help but shake his head.
Yu Shujun was absolutely right when he described him as "cunning" and "cautious".
Seeing that Wen Nan had not responded yet, the system prompt urged again -
9527: [Do you accept the transfer? ]
To confirm that you accept the temporary ownership of this fragment, you must press your finger on the rune. When Wen Nan completes the identity verification, the [Heart-Drilling Gu] on the rune will flow along the capillaries under the skin of his fingers and enter his heart. Then the person being remotely controlled will become Wen Nan.
Wen Nan would definitely not do such a thing.
It’s better not to have this Matthew fragment.
It's just an enhancement effect, and the higher the level, the better the enhancement effect. Wen Nan's current skills are only level 1. This fragment has no effect on him at all, and is not as good as his Golden Panties.
Thinking of this, Wen Nan withdrew his hand and prepared to ignore the system's question.
Seeing this, Yu Shujun frowned and raised his hand to grab his arm, "Don't you accept it?"
Yu Shujun's desire for the fragment of the divine staff was even stronger than that of President Carl. Wen Nan was certain of this since their first meeting on the trial map.
Seeing the other party so anxious at this moment, Wen Nan said helplessly: "I don't want to be controlled by that [Heart-drilling Gu]."
Yu Shujun shook his head, "No, I'm here, I will help you."
"You help me?"
"Well, use the transfer fragment." Yu Shujun followed suit and reached out to take the fragment from his equipment spare column. "When the [Heart-drilling Gu] invades your subcutaneous tissue, I will activate the transfer fragment and act on you, and you will transfer the [Heart-drilling Gu]..."
At this point, Yu Shujun looked around and couldn't find a suitable transfer target, so he just said, "Transfer it to me."
Wen Nan was incredulous when he heard this, "You want me to put a curse on you?"
Yu Shujun's eyelashes drooped. "I already have your golden control pattern on my body, so one more [Heart-drilling Gu] is nothing."
Wen Nan: ...
I always feel that this sounds weird, but I can't tell what's weird about it.
Wen Nan waved his hand, "You can't count it that way."
Yu Shujun wanted to ask why it couldn't be calculated this way, but Wen Nan had already changed the subject: "You mean, your transferred fragments can make the [Heart-Drilling Gu] that was originally supposed to be controlled by the president become the Gu that I use to control other people?"
Yu Shujun nodded.
Wen Nan suddenly thought of something else. "This transfer effect is so powerful. Last time I used the golden control pattern on you, why didn't you use the fragments to fight back?"
Yu Shujun was in the trial map at the time, using a character account, so he had no chance to call up his own fragment immediately. Of course, Yu Shujun thought it was unimportant and did not mention it, because -
"Replica Fragments is a copying skill with the highest authority in the entire game world, ignoring all other prop skills."
Wen Nan heard this and nodded in understanding. This was why the replica fragment could only be used once, while the other fragments could be used many times.
However, now that he knew that the Matthew fragment contained the [Heart-Drilling Gu] placed by the president of the Ghost Tamer Alliance, and that Yu Shujun's transfer fragment could help transfer the effects of the Gu, Wen Nan was no longer in a hurry to use it.
He put the fragment directly into the equipment reserve column, stood up, and faced Yu Shujun's puzzled expression. He had to explain: "Anyway, even if I accept the transfer, I will have to return it after renting it for two days. This fragment is useless to me, but this Gu worm is still somewhat useful."

Yu Shujun was getting more and more confused, and was about to say something else, when he saw the man opposite him pulling up his pants and casually asking, "I used this pair of golden trousers once, and it suddenly split. Do you know why?"
Yu Shujun was stunned. It was only now that he realized that Wen Nan had to wear such a pair of shiny golden shorts whether he was dating or having sex. It turned out that... it was not a matter of his personal taste? Yu Shujun was shocked and looked down at the shorts in confusion, "Is this... a prop?"
"What else?" Wen Nan asked, "If it's not a prop, why am I wearing this pair of pants with explosive sex shrinkage all day long? Could it be a sudden onset of an old illness?"
Recalling the golden lace she was wearing in the testing space of the sheath of the divine staff... Yu Shujun's eyes showed a hint of embarrassment, her cheeks flushed, her eyelashes drooped, and she stopped talking.
Wen Nan retrieved Jin Chacha's introduction from the system and presented it to Yu Shujun.
After reading it, Yu Shujun looked at Wen Nan in disbelief, as if he was looking at a mental patient.
Pointing to a line in the notes, Yu Shujun said, "Here, effective body fluid, is there a possibility that it is blood?"
Wen Nan suddenly understood something and let out a "fuck". Just as he was about to complain, a figure rushed up from the corridor entrance.
Yu Shujun subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of Wen Nan.
Wen Nan looked over Yu Shujun's shoulder and saw a familiar figure stopping in front of them.
Mo Yu was blocked by Yu Shujun, so he had to stand on the steps, looking up at Wen Nan, and shouted with a smile: "Master, I'm back to find you."
Wen Nan was about to respond, but the man in front of him spoke first: "Master?"
Yu Shujun dragged out the last syllable of these two words and spoke them out with gritted teeth, then looked down at Mo Yu and stared at him intently.
Mo Yu's original form was a small silver sword. He was naturally in awe of Yu Shujun, who was very skilled in using the sword. At this moment, he was stared at by Yu Shujun's murderous gaze, and he trembled with fear. Then he revealed a deeper admiration for him.
Yu Shujun saw the other party's expression, and the coldness around him became heavier. He couldn't stop the golden light in his palm, and he wished it would transform into a long sword in the next moment.
"Who are you calling master?" Yu Shujun asked word by word.
"I..." Mo Yu uttered a word, turned around, and looked at Wen Nan for help.
"Ahem, ahem."
Wen Nan cleared his throat. In order to avoid a fearless conflict—of course, it was hard to call it a conflict between Mo Yu and Yu Shujun. At best, it was just a one-sided beating—Wen Nan decided to step forward and mediate: "Don't call me master. Just call me boss as before."
Mo Yu didn't understand. What could be wrong with just calling "Master"? But he still nodded obediently, "Oh, okay, boss."
The golden light in Yu Shujun's hand finally dissipated a little, and his expression relaxed a little.
Wen Nan glanced at the time and walked towards the couple's hotel where the blood donation vehicle was parked. "Let's go. Time is running out. If we don't deal with it over there, I'm afraid something will happen."
