Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 141 Parasite

Rowena showed her amazing talent in unusual places. When Ian found her following the trail left by the electric wheelchair, she was squatting beside a highly decomposed horse corpse with great concentration. With a light wave of her wand, she cut off a small piece of bone.

He thought he would find Rowena lying in a gutter, lying on the ground with her body thrown into a heap.

"Split into pieces!"

As Ethan walked over, a blue beam of light was released from the tip of the wand, hitting the skeleton she had taken down. The skeleton immediately shattered into bone powder and gently fell on the parchment that Rowena had placed on the ground.

He checked the electric wheelchair and found not even a scratch on it.

Rowena noticed Ethan's actions and said, "I won't let you break it. When I was in school, I was the ace magic broom user."

However, her tone had changed subtly. It was no longer the tone of a boastful child. Her voice was a little deep, and she had the demeanor of a great magician. She picked up a branch and handed it to Ethan, "Borrow a light."

Flames ignited at the top of the branches, and when they touched the bone powder, they emitted brilliant light like fireworks. Rowena placed the crystal ball in front of her and muttered something.

Ethan could see that the divination process did not seem to be going smoothly. Her brows were furrowed more and more tightly until the dim light of the crystal ball completely dissipated. Then she opened her eyes in confusion.

"Blanche deliberately attracted the wolves. Why?"

The more Rowena thought about it, the more strange it seemed to her. She took out another bone and repeated the same steps.

She saw Blanche running in the dark, as if looking for something. When she sensed the presence of the wolves, she did not run away but instead rushed towards them. She soon fell to the ground under the bites of the wolves, and the light in her eyes gradually faded. The wolves tore off her flesh and blood until only a skeleton was left.

Winter is about to arrive, and the wild animals outside the town have become particularly ferocious.

A brown stallion escaped from the stable and the town just to come here to commit suicide, which had a great impact on Rowena's cognition.

She held the energy crystal and said, "Red Hair, Red Hair, please reply if you get it. This is Nana who is investigating a case. We found a body that was attacked by wolves. Do you have a way to track down the wolves around?"

The other end of the energy storage crystal quickly responded, "Shh, keep your voice down, we are tracking a super rare monster! This is the other side where people dare not speak loudly."

Bi'an simply taught the two some hunting techniques. The wolves in this season are much more ferocious than usual. Due to food shortages, they will occasionally hunt far away from the wolf dens. Wolf dens are usually located in hidden corners of the mountains and forests, so it is not easy to find them.

They can do the opposite and use the smell of bloody meat to lure them out. Hungry wolves are very sensitive to the smell of prey.

Ethan said, "Wait here for me. I'll go back to the market in town and buy some meat."

"Need not."

Rowena picked up the wand and pointed it at her wrist. A cut suddenly appeared on her fair skin. Blood flowed along her wrist onto the parchment, leaving a blood mark on it. Rowena, who usually screamed when Winter scratched her head, did not even blink. She continued to cast spells. Red light hit the parchment, and her blood turned into floating red dust, which was blown into the forest by the cold wind.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and for a moment it was almost as smelly as the Heywood Mine where the tragedy had taken place.

Soon there was a rustling sound in the bushes, and the shadows moving between the grass and trees were getting closer and closer to them. The wolves cooperated seamlessly and attacked the two from all directions. Rowena showed a somewhat fanatical smile, and the magic wand in her hand circled around her body, cutting the bodies of the wolves that rushed over into several pieces before they got close. A strange scene soon appeared. The scattered wolves did not die immediately. They stared with dark green eyes and squirmed on the ground in a strange way for a long time. This process lasted for several minutes, and then red tapeworm-like objects drilled out of the meat and fled in all directions.

Rowena naturally would not give them a chance to escape. More intensive cutting magic covered the open space. She precisely left only the red tapeworm closest to her and put it into a transparent jar. The tapeworm kept wriggling in the jar.

"That's why."

She observed the red tapeworm for a moment and concluded, "Blanche was infected by this parasite. These wolves devoured her flesh and blood, so they were also infected. The bad news is that when old Lecht touched Blanche's body, the tapeworm also drilled into his body. The tapeworm drilled into his eyes, which may be the reason for his hallucinations."

But this still didn't answer her other question.

Why did Blanche come here, attracting the wolves' attention and deliberately letting them eat her?

This is really not the behavior of a horse.

"I've heard of a parasite that takes over the body of its host, causing them to be hunted and eaten by humans in order to spread to more people."

Ethan felt that this was not a good sign. This kind of red tapeworm was not recorded in "100 Dark Creatures". He almost immediately thought of the 74 refugees. The number of refugees was still increasing, and many of them had suffered from serious illnesses before coming to Ximu Town. He wondered if this was also related to these red tapeworms.

"It doesn't make sense, hypothetically, that someone would deliberately allow Blanche to be infected with this tapeworm."

Rowena still frowned. "If it were me, I would make sure Blanche passed the tapeworm to the Leicht family, and then spread it to the entire town through the fruits and vegetables they grow, so that every resident in the town would be parasitized by the tapeworm. If Blanche escaped from the town and was eaten by the wolves, my plan would undoubtedly fail."

In this regard, she, who is regarded as a witch by many people, has a say.

This is the trick witches are best at. Instead of a head-on attack, they prefer to infect the entire town with curses or diseases, killing everyone in the town without any effort.

The unexplainable phenomenon made Rowena feel a little depressed. "I'm going to go to old Lecht's house and find out how Blanche was infected."

"Let's go."

Ethan believed Rowena's judgment. If Mr. Lecht was also infected with the red tapeworm, they would have to isolate him. The pieces of flesh wriggling on the ground just now gave him a bad feeling.

This looks like old artist Bazatos style art.

The witch's path is also closely related to Lao Ba.

Come to think of it, there is a criminal suspect who summoned a giant soldier wandering around Ximu Town.

It seemed that he had to go to the "Lamb to the Slaughter" again.
