Gamers Are Fierce Chapter 398: Parasite
“Break a few ribs, but it’s okay.”
Facing the mason, Julia seemed a little nervous, and she unconsciously glanced at the strange bloated figure in a black robe next to the mason.
“Hmm.”
The mason nodded, “Endor?”
This seems to be the name of the bloated figure.
Julia swallowed subconsciously, looking even more nervous.
The bloated figure took a step forward, and countless metal twigs suddenly stretched out from under the black robe, and each twig was connected to a strangely shaped surgical tool.
The green eyes gleaming under the hood of the black robe seemed to be glancing at Julia.
After a long time, he said in a hoarse and sharp voice that was like a fingernail scratching a blackboard, “There is nothing wrong with the body, and the mind is normal. There is no recognition of curses, heart-snatching, Dao-heart demons…”
I don’t know if it was Julia’s delusion, but she felt that the other party’s tone contained strong regret – regret that he didn’t have the opportunity to perform emergency surgery and decompose the bodies of other members of the syndicate.
“Okay, it’s fine.”
The mason interrupted Endor’s narrative and smiled at Julia: “Go to LUX22 and report the details of the mission. After the script mission is completed, your ranking will rise again.”
Julia forced a smile, not very happy.
The Syndicate is a tight and low-key secret organization, with a group of peripheral members at the bottom, such as mercenaries, private armed companies, scientific research laboratories, brokers, and hackers.
Syndicates have their own industries and strongholds on every continent, but they don’t seem to care much about their outer members.
From the outer members upwards, it is the inner members, that is, players with extraordinary power.
These players are called “apprentices”,
After apprentices are recruited into the syndicate, they will be dispatched to the stronghold to receive all-round training and complete various tasks assigned by the syndicate to earn contribution points and exchange for rewards given by the organization.
Compared with other secret organizations, syndicates give their members extremely rich rewards, and some of the rewards are even more generous than the equipment and props players get by working hard to complete script tasks.
Of course, this is not without a price,
The real-world tasks assigned by the syndicate to members are generally strict to complete, and the execution is no easier than the scripted tasks.
What to assassinate a public company president and set up the scene as an accident;
Hunt down and capture a lone wolf player whose true identity is revealed;
Kill a tissue-cultured bioweapon in an arena duel;
In addition, the syndicate implements an elimination system, and only apprentices with excellent performance can advance and obtain more resources and more intelligence.
At the top of all the apprentices are the ten core members of the Syndicate known as “Apostles”.
Those people are the first batch of players to qualify in the real world, and they are more than ten months ahead of the current players…
Julia had never seen the apostles, but only vaguely heard that, above the ten apostles, was the creator of the syndicate, and his title was only one word.
Professor.
Julia breathed a sigh of relief. She never expected that she could continue to climb up the organization and eventually become an apostle,
She joined the syndicate just out of nowhere, she just hoped that she could live longer, and one day, she could return to her family with her former identity…
Julia hid her sadness well, smiled at the mason and the short-haired girl, returned the towel, and walked towards the door.
“Wait.”
Endor’s voice suddenly sounded, at the shoulders under the cloak,
A metal twig connected to the scalpel spread rapidly and flew directly behind Julia. After an oblique slash, it was retracted at a faster speed.
Julia felt a chill down her spine, and a shallow scar appeared on the skin on her back, with blood flowing faintly.
Before she could understand what was going on, her body was already driven by instinct, and she turned around suddenly and took a fighting stance.
But the figure in black robe was using a metal twig to hold a rectangular metal surgical tray,
Gently scrape the scalpel with a small amount of blood on the surgical tray.
“This is…”
Julia looked into the surgical tray subconsciously. With the dim light, she clearly saw a transparent parasite that was as thin as hair and as long as chopsticks lying on the bottom of the tray.
The parasites are huddled together and appear to have lost their activity,
The blood stained on the worm’s body also proved that it was just taken out from Julia’s back.
Julia shuddered, her whole body being overwhelmed with fear.
“Well…”
Endor lowered his head and used the scalpel to cut delicately and steadily the slender worms in the surgical tray, examining it carefully,
“It doesn’t look like a protoparasite species, it’s a bit like a planarian? There are root hyphae in the hollow cavity, but I don’t know what it does. The whole worm has died, no activity, and no energy remains…”
He thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to the terrified Julia, “Turn around.”
Julia turned around subconsciously, but heard the sound of a scalpel cutting through the air behind her again,
I felt that my whole body was cut into several tiny wounds instantly.
One, two… Eighteen parasites lay neatly on the surgical tray, looking extremely frightening and shocking.
“These bugs are man-made,”
Endor looked at Julia, his eyes full of fiery enthusiasm for inquiry, “You have been parasited.”
“…”
Julia shuddered, and the thought of so many bugs hiding in her body made her feel a wave of fear welling up in her heart.
The short-haired girl’s eyes are wide open, and her face is also full of horror,
The mason frowned~IndoMTL.com~ asked in a low voice, “Can you track it?”
“It’s almost impossible. These bugs are already dead, and the psionic energy fluctuations have long since dissipated. Even with causal tracking techniques, the source cannot be found, and…”
Endor was talking, but he saw that in the surgical tray, all the parasites seemed to have received some instructions, and together with the internal mycelium, they all melted into a pool of transparent liquid.
“…”
Everyone stared at the surgical tray silently. Julia clearly felt a tiny amount of blood gushing from the tiny wound on her body, and there were bursts of stinging pain, but she had no intention to pay attention to the scar at all.
Who? when? How did you get the insects?
Julia had a full medical checkup before her mission in Fairy Tale, so these bugs could only have been picked up during her mission.
In front of her eyes flashed the faces she had met in the scripted world, players, indigenous people, monsters… and finally settled on the figure shrouded in a red coat all over her body.
“Come on, I’ll accompany you to LUX22.”
The mason took a deep breath and said solemnly to Julia: “You need to tell everything in detail, everything that happened in the script task.”
