Chapter 227: Chapter 128: Brain-eating Worm

Wang Jixuan’s Spiritual Sense had always been active, yet he didn’t expect an unexpected gain.

The eye contact came too abruptly.

The middle-aged woman, who was the captain of the Central City Security Team, never imagined that the Black Storm would suddenly notice her. She immediately closed her eyes, but Wang Jixuan’s Spiritual Sense had already started probing inside her body.

The woman slowly collapsed to the ground.

"Don’t touch her, back off!"

With a soft shout from Wang Jixuan, the soldiers around the woman quickly retreated.

A slight commotion arose in the large conference room.

The woman on the floor began to convulse incessantly.

Wang Jixuan frowned slightly—he didn’t want to show off his various abilities in front of so many people.

During that brief eye contact, the woman revealed a slight flaw, and Wang Jixuan smelled something familiar.

It was similar to the scent of that ’Preacher’, the High-level Mimic Blade Beast.

What situation was this?

An even higher-class Mimic Blade Beast?

Why was there not the slightest hint of demonic energy?

He stepped forward slowly, drawing closer to the woman, gesturing with his hands for everyone to retreat while using his Spiritual Sense to carefully observe everyone’s movements, expressions, and demeanor, guarding against any sudden assaults.

Only three steps away from the woman, she suddenly lifted her head.

’She’ tensed up all the muscles in her body, claws digging into the ground, abdomen bulging, and she violently lunged at Wang Jixuan!

Lingtong raised her mechanical arm to fire, but Wang Jixuan was a step ahead, blocking her line of fire. He flipped sideways into the air, neatly dodging the woman’s lunge, and stepped firmly onto her back!

The woman’s body slammed heavily onto the ground, and as she tried to flip over and claw at him, a fist wrapped in a tactical glove smashed down onto her spine.

The sound of bones cracking made everyone’s scalp tingle!

The woman’s spine was dislocated on the spot, and her body lost the ability to rise. She kept making "he he" rasping noises from her throat.

Wang Jixuan, following the momentum, pressed his hand onto the woman’s neck and slammed it onto the ground.

"Get out!"

A surge of Qi infused into it, transforming into a Condensed Sword!

Bang!

The woman’s head exploded suddenly, sending a spray of red and white matter everywhere. A semi-transparent white worm the size of a thumb burst out, its mouth gaping, ready to bite Wang Jixuan, but he grabbed it and crushed it immediately.

Dark green blood slid down the exterior of the tactical glove.

Master Wang felt a bit nauseous, but still took a close look at the creature.

It resembled a silkworm chrysalis with a mouthpiece, and degenerating blade limbs could be seen along the edges of its body, which was little more than ten centimeters long. Had it previously been hiding inside this woman’s brain?

The worm’s body was covered in little glowing tips.

The crowd became agitated:

"What is this? My God! How terrifying!"

"Such a small Blade Beast? We’ve never discovered such a thing before!"

"A new kind of Mimic Blade Beast? Where did this thing come from? Have the Blade Beasts evolved again?"

A chorus of exclamations erupted in the room, and the old governor was also staring blankly at the scene.

Wang Jixuan received a message from Mu Dan through his earpiece:

"Commander, this type of Blade Beast is not recorded in the database of human civilization! Please ensure the sample is preserved!"

Hearing this, Wang Jixuan immediately took off his glove and wrapped it around the creature.

"Bring me a container! Lingtong, inform Uncle Hei, the Commander, to immediately send a research team over here!"

He couldn’t help cursing:

"The Blade Beasts have infiltrated to this extent, and Spiritual Ability City still has the nerve to make trouble!"

Suddenly, Wang Jixuan’s Dao Heart felt a tremor.

If Blade Beasts possessed such perfect camouflage to operate within human society, observing humanity...

Then that would mean...

All of his actions at Fortress 76 and now at Fortress 82 were known to the Blade Beasts?

Wang Jixuan looked around, his eyes scanning the faces all around him, his breathing slightly constricted.

[They have been watching all along.]

...

A few hours later.

Wang Jixuan sat on a sofa at a temporary supply station, back to his full strength as before facing Zhan Mo Phoenix, arms crossed as he looked over the autopsy report in front of him.

This Blade Beast had been named ’Brain-eating Worm’. It possessed a complete Blade Beast internal organ structure, an advanced and dense nervous system, but lacked the capability to directly transmit intelligence externally.

"This matter has been reported to the nine major battle zones, causing widescale panic."

Mu Dan, holding a folder made of holographic projection, spoke urgently:

"Currently, the two main methods of effectively detecting Brain-eating Worms are first, to perform deep brain scans with three-dimensional modeling, and second, to perform spinal tap surgeries to analyze cerebrospinal fluid. Each method is time-consuming and laborious.

"Additionally, General Fu Jian has sent a private message inquiring if you have a method for finding these worms."

Wang Jixuan thought carefully, recalling the details that led to the discovery of the abnormality in the woman.

It was a slight sneer that she had let slip.

That sneer seemed malevolent and was like a taunt, possibly mocking the human race for their overestimation of themselves. It was the irony that even in such dire circumstances, humans were still fighting among themselves.

He asked, "How many have been found so far?"

"Three, in different battle zones."

Mu Dan replied promptly:

"What’s most deadly is, the fourth Brain-eating Worm discovered was in a logistics officer of a Fortress in D3 battle zone.

"Now the nine major battle zones have established a permanent meeting with commanders, sharing all information and checking everyone from top to bottom.

"Moreover, three Space Fortresses have sent messages that they have also begun self-examinations."

"What about Spiritual Ability City?"

"No news from there."

Uncle Hei’s supply truck door opened and Zheng Shiduo stuck his head out, swearing menacingly:

"Maybe they’re all controlled by Brain-eating Worms over there! I always knew that Beast God Sect that popped up in recent years was problematic!"

Wang Jixuan stroked his chin thoughtfully, then suddenly said with a smile:
