Chapter 356 - 356 Mother and Child Gu Worm

356 Mother and Child Gu Worm

It turned out that Ao Jie No. 3’s appearance was activated by a Gu worm, which was controlled by Lin Shu. Although Lin Shu was in the capital, it didn’t prevent her from controlling Ao Jie because both of them had Gu worms on them. This Gu worm was called the mother and child Gu worm. As the name suggested, as long as they controlled the mother Gu worm, they could control the mind of the host through the child Gu worm.

Most importantly, there were countless child Gu, but only one mother Gu. If the mother Gu died, all the child Gu would die. On the contrary, even if a child Gu died, the mother Gu would still be safe and sound.

It was obvious that Lin Shu had been invincible right from the beginning and was unafraid of Qiao Yanhui at all, because Qiao Yanhui wouldn’t let his brother die.

“Is there a cure?” Qiao Yanhui asked while suppressing his killing intent.

“The child Gu has already fused with his brain nerves… but I believe that there’s no Gu in this world that can’t be cured. Lin Shu is more terrifying than we thought…” Xu Qing said in a low voice. Actually, theoretically, there was no cure for the mother and child Gu worm. However, Xu Qing wouldn’t give up. She also believed that according to Ying Zhiyao’s poison, there must be a way to understand the Gu.

“Little Qing, I’m sorry. The peaceful life I promised you will have to be postponed. We still have to deal with Lin Shu,” Qiao Yanhui held Xu Qing’s hand as he said. He thought that after Ao Heng died and Lin Shu was dealt with, the danger would be reduced by more than half, but he didn’t expect…

However, Ao Jie’s situation was too troublesome.

“Little Hui, you saw the seven-year-old Ao Jie back then. Isn’t there any difference between him and the current Ao Jie that puzzled you?” Xu Qing was a little puzzled. She now suspected that Ao Jie No. 3 and Ao Jie No. 1 were two different people.

“Other than his personality, there are no differences.” Qiao Yanhui was also puzzled. As he looked at the unconscious Ao Jie, he felt that Ao Jie was really identical to when he was young. He had also checked Ao Jie’s face, but there were no signs of disguise. If Ao Jie was his second brother, he should be very similar to him.

Xu Qing was also very puzzled when she heard this and her thoughts were a mess. Then, she and Qiao Yanhui studied Ao Jie No. 3’s face. It wasn’t a human skin mask. However, his face was slightly colder to the touch than a normal person’s face, so she couldn’t help but take a closer look at him. Then, her fingertips accidentally scratched Ao Jie No. 3’s face and a scratch appeared.

This was very normal. After all, Xu Qing’s nails were not long or sharp, but why were there no red marks? Xu Qing thought of something and took out a scalpel to cut Ao Jie’s face.

However, this made Xu Qing’s expression change drastically.

Xu Qing was extraordinarily proficient with the scalpel, but there was actually no blood at all? How thick was his skin? Xu Qing held the scalpel and started to slash at Ao Jie No. 3’s body. When she reached Ao Jie No. 3’s butt, Qiao Yanhui’s expression completely darkened. He also knew that Xu Qing had discovered something, so he had endured it for a long time. But why was it getting more and more outrageous? He wanted to strangle Ao Jie to death now.

In the end, Xu Qing concluded that Ao Jie No. 3 was extraordinarily thick-skinned. However, there was nothing strange about his face, so what kind of miraculous technique was this?

“Little Hui, do you know of any technology that can put two faces together without anyone noticing?” Xu Qing asked in a low voice.

She had learned how to make some disguise pills from Ying Zhiyao, but they could only change one’s appearance slightly and still needed the help of disguise techniques, but no matter what she did, there would be traces. But Ao Jie…

Qiao Yanhui lowered his head and pondered over it. In the end, he said, “Bai Xian told me that he once had a senior brother who was good at disguising himself. However, because he was ruthless and peeled off people’s skin when they were still awake, so he was chased away by their mentor. There was no news of him after that.”

“Could it be that Ao Jie No. 1’s face was pasted with Ao Jie No. 3’s face?” When Xu Qing thought about how he might have been skinned alive, she instantly felt her blood run cold. If that was the case, that person’s skills were indeed very proficient. Despite such a transplant method, there actually wasn’t any rotten flesh.

Qiao Yanhui clenched his fists. “When I first saw Ao Jie No. 3, he was very sickly. He only sat under a tree for a short while before fainting.”

“Let’s make a bold hypothesis. When he was seven years old, Ao Jie No. 1 saw with his own eyes that Ao Jie No. 3’s skin was peeled off while alive and then pasted on his face. That was why Ao Jie No. 1 gained a split personality, which was Ao Jie No. 2! Therefore, Ao Jie No. 1 is your second brother, and Ao Jie No. 3 is Lin Shu’s son, who was hidden because he wasn’t in good health… But that can’t be the case. How could Lin Shu be so cruel to her son?” Xu Qing began to make bold guesses because after getting the facts straight, many things became clear.
