The two looked at each other and nodded silently.
Xiao He turned to face Jia Bo, gesturing for him to follow him.
Wang Xuefeng then vanished into the jungle in a flash.
“Let’s walk a little further.”
"OK."
Jia Bo didn't think about anything and just followed behind her.
"How were you arrested that day? Do you remember the details?"
"I don't remember much, I just suddenly fainted."
The two walked and talked.
"Besides fainting, what else did you feel?"
"Hmm...headache, and a little cold."
Does it smell?
"It has... um... a taste like chicken feathers?"
"Chicken feathers?"
"It's not chicken, it's just the smell of some kind of feather, but it's very faint, not as strong as chicken."
Jia Bo scratched his head, seemingly not entirely satisfied with his description.
Xiao He slightly raised his eyelids, feeling a little amused, but he didn't show it.
"Have you seen any figures? For example, a woman?" she continued to guide the conversation.
"Ah! Yes!" Jia Bo suddenly clapped his hands: "That woman is wearing a long blue dress, and she has a really good figure!"
Do you know her name?
“Andrega Kalpachi!” Jabo said with certainty.
Xiao He was slightly taken aback, seemingly somewhat surprised.
Jia Bo remained calm and composed, showing no sign of pretense.
"Really?" She blinked.
“Absolutely right!” Jia Bo nodded emphatically.
"But didn't you just say you couldn't remember anything? Why can you remember such a long name so clearly now?" Xiao He didn't press the issue; it was just a casual question.
“This…” Jia Bo scratched his head again.
After a long pause, he spread his hands.
"I forgot."
Xiao He didn't care about the answer.
"You two had a conversation?" she continued.
“I think so,” Jia Bo replied.
Do you remember what she said?
"She said... I'm glad to have met you?"
It took Jia Bo a long time to utter his second sentence, but it was clearly just a pointless remark.
"Then what?"
"Then...she just told me to wait there."
"Waiting for what? For us? Or for her?"
"have no idea……"
Xiao He's gaze gradually darkened, and his fingers gripping the knife tightened.
She stopped in her tracks at a secluded valley.
"Are you really not feeling unwell?" Xiao He asked calmly, taking out two scrolls.
Jia Bo carefully examined the area for a while before shaking his head: "No."
"Alright, then close your eyes first." Xiao He made a gesture as if to untie the scroll.
“Oh!” Jia Bo did not refute at all.
The instant his eyelids closed, Xiao He twisted his wrist and drew his knife with lightning speed.
Dark Flash.
"puff--"
Jia Bo didn't even have time to react before he collapsed limply into the grass, dead.
Xiao He stared at him without blinking, not missing a single detail.
Under the scanner's scan, a green dot of light slowly floated out from his head.
[Note: Parasitic larvae primarily control the central nervous system; they temporarily die upon the death of their host.]
[Temporary death: Will gradually regain vitality following the host's resurrection.]
Xiao He silently looked at the corpse on the ground. The green light spot had not completely left and was still connected to the body.
"It seems that it is not parasitic on the body, but on the soul."
"Even if I revive him now, his condition will be the same as Su Mei's."
Xiao He recalled a night two years ago by the river in the suburbs; perhaps Su Mei had already been parasitized back then.
However, because it repeatedly teeters on the brink of life and death, the larva is no longer able to determine the host's condition, which is why her own personality reverts intermittently.
"Can't even physical death sever this bond?" Xiao He felt extremely troubled.
"If all else fails... we'll just put it in the refrigerator and wait until next year..."
After much deliberation, she finally opened the teleportation scroll and disappeared into the mountains, dragging Jia Bo's corpse with her.

On the other side, Wang Xuefeng had already returned to the original location where he was observing the Temple of Life.
He was cloaked and hidden in the shadows, while the footage taken by the reconnaissance plane was being projected onto Yang Xing's screen.
In the past two months, the first batch of students in the "crash course" A001 class that Yang Xing has been training have begun their internships.
They are all teenagers aged 16-20, quick-witted, and adept at learning new things. They are proficient in both computers and the internet.
Now that Jia Bo is on a long vacation, Yang Xing must quickly select the most capable student from among the top students to replace Jia Bo.
At the same time, operators for "Flying Dragon III" and "Flying Dragon IV" should be selected as soon as possible to be responsible for security in the West and East districts.
Wang Xuefeng knew how busy he was, so she tried her best not to bother him.
This video call was at Honglian's request.
She heard from Dai Lele that Ani had appeared, so she rushed to Yang Xing's studio without stopping.
So Yang Xing connected her to Wang Xuefeng's reconnaissance aircraft and gave her a headset so she could talk to Wang Xuefeng herself.
You're saying...he still remembers me?
"Hmm," Wang Xuefeng could only reply softly.
"Is there any hope that he can be saved now...?"
Honglian's voice was choked with sobs.
Ever since she learned that she was likely not betrayed, but rather that Ani had been harmed by evil people, she has been heartbroken.
