The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 621 Why are they even trying to stage an accident?!

Long Ling arrived in this small town on the border with a heart full of resentment.

Upon seeing Gu Yuan, she rolled her eyes dramatically: "You have the nerve to ask me to come to this godforsaken place!"

Gu Yuan looked at the lush greenery and pleasant climate around him and completely ignored Long Ling's blatant lies.

"Go and take a look over there first!"

Dragon Spirit: ...

This is so annoying. Even if he is a dragon spirit, strong and healthy, he has come all this way. He should at least be allowed to rest and catch his breath.

Now he's being bossed around, treated like a beast of burden!
Long Ling was about to retort that he was crazy when his gaze fell on Gu Yuan, and his brows furrowed.

A faint, yet somewhat familiar, aura emanated from Gu Yuan.

Long Ling immediately took two steps forward, grabbed Gu Yuan's arm with one hand, and then sniffed it.

This action caused Gu Yuan's body to stiffen abruptly.

Perhaps because of the previous incident where Lin Xiang'er harassed him, he was now extremely sensitive to anyone getting close to him, and could even be said to be very uncomfortable with it.

"You...what are you doing!"

Hearing Gu Yuan's trembling voice, Long Ling immediately showed a disgusted expression and then let go of Gu Yuan's hand.

"What could I do! You don't actually think I want to get close to you, do you? It's just that you've got some disgusting stuff on you!"

These words seemed to come out of nowhere, leaving Gu Yuan completely bewildered. His tired eyes looked even more confused.

"what?"

Long Ling had already taken two steps back before saying, "You have some Gu worm aura on you, made using ancient methods. I don't know exactly what it is, but it's really disgusting!"

Gu Yuan: ...

If anyone else had said this, Gu Yuan would have thought they were exaggerating, but since Long Ling said it, he believed it completely.

Despite being a grown man, Gu Yuan actually has a strong aversion to soft-bodied insects and the like.

The mere thought that he was unknowingly infected with Gu worms sent shivers down his spine.

Seeing that Gu Yuan was not in good condition, Long Ling took a few steps back, clearly afraid that she would be in trouble.

"What do you want me to see? Go see it now!"

The fact that Gu Yuan and his group were able to fall into the trap without even realizing it means there must be a 'master' in this place.

All Long Ling wanted to do now was finish the mission immediately and go back as soon as possible. His little brothers were waiting for him to come back and feed them!

Gu Yuan, who had just found out that he had been infected, hadn't recovered yet when he saw Long Ling looking like she couldn't wait to go home.

After silently repeating "they're one of us" several times, Gu Yuan finally managed to suppress the frustration mixed with speechlessness.

"Let's go!"

He didn't immediately ask Long Ling what had gotten on them and how to get rid of it.

With a breakthrough, the interrogation of Lin Xiang'er will soon yield results, and it won't be too late to deal with the issues on our side then.

Gu Yuan quickly led Long Ling to the warehouse.

“Our people clearly saw that there were mechanisms here, and they even remembered how to activate them, but it was completely useless.”

Seeing several people waiting there, Long Ling straightened her back, put her hands behind her back, and went inside to take a look. After looking around, Long Ling said, "There is indeed a secret passage below, but it should be some kind of family-inherited mechanism that can only be opened by someone with a blood relation..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan immediately understood. So, it wasn't that their people weren't capable, but rather that they lacked the other party's bloodline power.

After pausing for a moment, Long Ling looked at everyone who was looking over, her face showing a mixture of sudden realization and regret.

He coughed twice before continuing, "Of course, this is under normal circumstances. There is an exception: this kind of mechanical art with family inheritance is just a decoration when faced with a more powerful bloodline."

As he spoke, Long Ling flicked his finger in the air, and a small pool of blood flowed from his palm.

Gu Yuan was very close to the dragon spirit, so he naturally smelled the blood.

Before Long Ling could do anything, Gu Yuan suddenly turned pale, gasped for breath, and was covered in large beads of sweat.

He looked as if he had suddenly fallen seriously ill, and it seemed that Gu Yuan was about to collapse.

Long Ling immediately took several steps back, exclaiming, "No way, is this some kind of staged accident scam?!"

Fortunately, several people from the Special Administration Bureau who were not far away also noticed that something was wrong with Gu Yuan and immediately stepped forward to help him up.

Seeing that Gu Yuan was clearly not right, the others were also frightened, but fortunately they had good mental fortitude.

He immediately took out some first-aid pills from his pocket and put them into Gu Yuan's mouth.

Whether it was the pills working or the fact that he was far away from the dragon spirit and the smell of blood had disappeared, Gu Yuan quickly recovered.

"Director Gu, what's wrong?"

Gu Yuan gripped the person supporting him tightly with his hand; in fact, even he himself didn't know what was wrong.

Just now, he felt as if he had been slowly tortured to death, and he was in excruciating pain. He almost collapsed. The feeling was so real and so terrible.

Just as Gu Yuan waved his hand, indicating that he was alright.

Long Ling, who was several steps away from him, seemed to have thought of something and deliberately took a few steps forward, even bringing the blood on her palm closer to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan, who had just recovered somewhat, suddenly changed his expression again as that suffocating and painful feeling returned.

Long Ling removed the blood, and Gu Yuan recovered. Then she removed the blood again, and Gu Yuan looked like he was about to die.

After several rounds of back and forth, not only Long Ling confirmed it, but Gu Yuan and the several Special Administration Bureau personnel who had come to help him earlier also realized it.

Someone immediately exclaimed in disbelief, "No way, this blood has such effects?"

"Wait a minute, aren't we all fine? Why is only Director Gu reacting!"

The people who appear here are all trustworthy.

Long Ling didn't hide anything and dropped a bombshell.

"This isn't my fault. I sensed something was off about you before."

It seems that the Gu worm in your body is quite active. My blood can naturally suppress these evil things.

It smelled my blood, and now it's desperately trying to escape and cause trouble inside your body.

I just don't know which organ it's crawled into now.

Gu Yuan's face immediately darkened. No wonder he had been in so much pain just now, as if he was about to die.

Upon hearing this, the others almost instantly understood what had happened to Director Gu and Lu Zhen these past few days.

"You old bastard! Get your blood away from here, or you'll scare the Gu worms and then we'll all suffer!"
