Chapter 527: A Game of Infernal Affairs



It turned out that just when the fake Professor Jing'an left, Su Mu's krypton gold plug-in was activated, allowing him to obtain a rather strange knowledge:

[The breeding and training skills of needle-mouthed worms: 3 points (not worth mentioning), level 3C].

Although Su Mu is not a professional animal tamer, he does know something about this needle-mouthed worm.

Because this alien insect is a poisonous parasite, there is a special chapter introducing it in the book "Human Parasitology" of the Alchemy Department.

It belongs to the invertebrate class Nematodes and is a poisonous insect found in extremely harsh environments. It is named because of its shape like a steel needle.

In the Buddhist "Abhidharma-samuccaya", it is believed that this poisonous insect was first brought out from hell by evil demons and ferocious beasts, so it is also called the hell poisonous insect.

If it is a wild needle-mouthed worm, after it parasitizes in the human body, it will release highly toxic poison immediately, breaking the flesh and tendons, drilling into the bones and marrow, and endangering the host's life. Even a cultivator will not be able to resist it.

But this needle-mouthed worm did not do that, so it must have been cultivated by the fake Professor Jing'an.

Su Mu frowned slightly and thought quickly in his mind:

"Looking at the fake Professor Jing'an's reaction before, he clearly believed what I said, but why did he still give me such a poisonous insect? Did I give away something in my previous words and deeds that made him suspicious?"

"No, if I really gave the secret away, he would definitely choose to kill me directly. Even if he used the needle-mouthed worm, he would make it take effect immediately instead of lying dormant. Because he has already revealed his identity as a member of the School of Life in front of me. If he doesn't kill me, is he waiting for me to report him?"

"If it wasn't me who let the cat out of the bag, then it's very likely that this fake Professor Jing'an has his own problems."

"It seems that he doesn't completely trust his own people, so he made this move on me. He wants to use the needle-mouthed worms to monitor me, and he also wants to use the needle-mouthed worms to kill me if he thinks I will threaten him."

"Similar things have been done in He Kui's memory. This shows that this is probably a 'tradition' of the School of Life Studies..."

According to the book "Human Parasites", the bred needle-mouthed worm will establish a special connection with its owner. As long as the owner does not give an order, it will not release toxins, but will quietly lurk under the host's skin, monitor the host's words and deeds, and pass them on to its owner at any time.

But as long as its owner gives the order, it will immediately release the poison and drill into the brain to take the person's life!

That's why Su Mu speculated that the fake Professor Jing'an wanted to monitor or even control him through the needle-mouth worm.

But Su Mu was not panicked.

Although this parasite is very powerful, generations of alchemists have studied it and invented several methods of killing insects and poisons, which can even effectively prevent the harm caused by its attacks.

There are corresponding medicines in Su Mu’s storage device specifically for storing elixirs.

But he did not take the medicine immediately to kill the needle-mouthed worm, because if he attacked the needle-mouthed worm, the fake Professor Jing'an would notice it immediately.

The needle-mouthed worm is very good at hiding and is difficult to detect if it does not cause symptoms.

If the fake Professor Jing'an had just left and Su Mu had killed the needle-mouthed worms right after, it would be strange if people didn't become suspicious!

It would be bad if this alerted the enemy and affected the mission.

"We have to think of a way to avoid being discovered while eliminating this potential safety hazard to the greatest extent possible..."

Thinking of this, Su Mu turned his attention to the knowledge of [breeding and training techniques of needle-mouthed worms] given by the krypton gold plug-in.

Speaking of which, Su Mu was also quite puzzled, why did the krypton gold plug-in trigger the breeding and training skills?

Is this an attempt to make me start a parasite breeding farm inside my body? Damn, this is so scary!

After thinking about it carefully, Su Mu understood. It was probably because the needle-mouthed worms were parasites that survived by sucking the blood of the host. This made the krypton gold plug-in think that he was raising needle-mouthed worms and thus gave him this knowledge.

Since there are training techniques, is it possible to let this needle-mouthed worm, after "reorganization" and "restructuring", join your team, pass false information to deceive the fake Professor Jing'an, and stage a "Infernal Affairs"?

Thinking of this, Su Mu took action immediately and spent money to upgrade the [Needlemouth Worm Breeding and Training Skills] to 10 points (perfect), and the grade reached Class 3A.

After taking another look at the details, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

It worked! This perfect breeding and training technique could really make the fake Professor Jing'an lose both his wife and his army.

However, to achieve this effect, several special materials are needed...

Just then, there was a knock on the door. This time it must be Xu Yue and Chun Hu Yue coming.

Su Mu's mind suddenly changed and he came up with an idea.

He did not open the door immediately. He answered and went into the toilet, urinated, and washed his hands. Pretending to be casual, he took off the storage magic tool that looked like a bracelet and placed it on the sink, then left the toilet and opened the door.

It was indeed Xu Yue and Chun Hu Yue outside the door.

Chun Huyue looked him up and down, and asked with a sly smile: "Why did you take so long to open the door? Are you doing something shameful? Let me see how much toilet paper you used."

Su Mu was very upset.

Uncle Master, you know so much! I am different. I am too pure and don’t understand what you mean at all.

At the same time, he used the sound transmission technique to tell Xu Yue and Chun Hu Yue, "The fake Professor Jing'an came here just now and gave me a needle-mouthed worm. My words and actions are now under his surveillance."

When Xu Yue and Chun Hu Yue heard this, they remained silent. Chun Hu Yue continued with her previous joke, saying that she wanted to check the toilet paper in the trash can.

However, the seemingly normal chat was just an illusion. At the same time, they were also using telepathy to communicate secretly.

"Once a needle-mouthed worm has been cultivated, it will establish a special connection with its owner. It is easy to kill it, but the fake Professor Jing'an will immediately notice it, which is the most troublesome thing."

"It has to be destroyed. We can't let it stay in Su Mu's body forever, right? This is a remote-controlled bomb. If it explodes and we don't take medicine in time to treat it, it will cost Su Mu his life!"

Xu Yue frowned slightly and glanced at Chun Huyue. Although she didn't say anything, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart: "Why does she care so much about Su Mu? Isn't she trying to steal my students? Damn, I have to be on guard against the teacher and my fellow students? It's too miserable."

Chun Hu Yue was confused by her look and was about to ask, but she heard Su Mu say: "Actually, I already have a plan, I just lack a few materials..." He quickly repeated the plan.

Xu Yue was a little worried after hearing this: "Where did you learn this method of taming? Will it work?"

Su Mu replied, "I asked He Kui about this. Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways. In the short term, the fake Professor Jing'an will not detonate this needle-mouthed worm. We still have time."

Anyway, He Kui is dead and there is no evidence, so everything can be blamed on him.

Although Xu Yue was suspicious, she did not ask any more questions. She just transmitted her voice: "I have all the materials you are missing, but the needle-mouthed worm is on you. How can I give them to you without being discovered by it?"

"I put the space bracelet on the washstand in the bathroom. The spiritual pattern code is six eights. Just put those materials in it."

Xu Yue immediately said, "Can I borrow your toilet for a while?" This was not said using the telepathic technique.

Su Mu didn't use any voice transmission, he just raised his hand and pointed: "Over there, feel free to do as you please."

Xu Yue got up and went to the bathroom. Chun Huyue suddenly remembered something and almost couldn't help showing a surprised expression. She asked in a voice transmission: "Sumu, when did that fake Professor Jing'an come to see you?"

Su Mu calculated the time and transmitted his voice: "He came here twenty minutes ago and left a few minutes before you came. By the way, when he left, he also said that you had come up. I wonder if he has also put needle worms in the bodies of other teachers and students."

Chun Huyue transmitted the message: "Needle-mouthed worms are not so easy to capture and cultivate, but we still need to find a way to screen the teachers and students... But there is something that is even stranger than this!"

"What's the matter?" Su Mu asked curiously.

Chun Huyue replied, "When we arrived at the hotel, we saw the fake Professor Jing'an in the lobby on the first floor. In order not to arouse his suspicion, we chatted with him for a few minutes. It was about ten minutes ago."

Su Mu was a little surprised: "Ten minutes ago? That's not right. At that time, the fake Professor Jing'an was still here with me. Who did you see? Was it the clone technique?"

"It's unlikely to be a clone technique. Most clone techniques are illusions, and the clone's power is limited. But the fake Professor Jing'an we saw in the lobby was full of spiritual power and quite powerful. The fake Professor Jing'an you met even blocked the attack of a third-level B-class. Unless this person's power has already entered the realm of demigods. But if he is really a demigod, why would he be sent by the School of Life as an undercover agent? And would he need poison to kill you?"

Su Mu also agreed with this analysis and made another guess: "Then, could it be that there are two members of the School of Life Studies pretending to be Professor Jing'an?"

"That's possible. Two people, one wearing Professor Jing'an's skin, appeared in the hotel lobby to attract most people's attention and create an alibi. The other one only needs to use illusion to change his appearance and come to find you. Anyway, their original plan was to poison you, which would take at most a few minutes. Even if they were not wearing human skin, it would be difficult for you to see through the illusion in such a short time."

Su Mu nodded slightly. He really didn't see the flaw in the fake Professor Jing'an's illusion.

At this time, Xu Yue walked out of the bathroom.

She first gave Su Mu a look, indicating that the matter had been settled, and then used the sound transmission technique to say: "No matter what the reason is, we must quickly report the information, and make corresponding adjustments to the surveillance and investigation of the fake Professor Jing'an!"

"That's right." Chun Huyue agreed and was about to report it immediately.

She quietly turned on the ringtone of her cell phone, pretended to call, stood up and walked out of the house, saying as she walked, "I'm going to go out and answer the phone, you guys talk first."

At this time, Xu Yue used the sound transmission technique to ask about the matter of forming the elixir.

"Where did you learn how to form a pill? How did you form a pill so quickly?"
