Full-Time Magister: One Evolution Point Per Second

Chapter 89 Mutant Demons?

Ye Qiu, Lingling, and Tang Yue rushed to the place in the village where the bodies were stored.

Along the way, Ye Qiu's mood grew heavier and heavier.

Although he hadn't seen the villagers who had been parasitized, he could sense the seriousness of the situation from Tang Yue's description.

The people in this village have all started to show abnormalities.

However, none of these people suspected a parasitic demon; instead, they thought it was a plague or some other ailment.

after all……

Although this world is a magical world, and most of the technology is magical technology, diseases and the like still exist.

"The body is being kept in the village's ancestral hall, temporarily guarded by several elderly villagers," Tang Yue explained as she led the way. "To avoid panic, we haven't released the information yet, but quite a few people in the village have already noticed something amiss."

Ye Qiu nodded, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings.

The village is not large, and the houses are scattered in an orderly manner, but the streets are unusually deserted at this moment. Occasionally, a few villagers can be seen hurrying by, with uneasy expressions on their faces.

Clearly, most of these villagers had already realized that something was wrong.

only……

Soon, the three arrived at an ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall was closed, and two elderly men stood at the entrance, clearly on guard.

Moreover, these two old men actually possessed this magic power, though not strong, it was still at the level of a mid-level mage.

Obviously!

These two old men are the guardians of this village.

For a village, having a mage is a rare thing, let alone two mid-level mages.

The two old men clearly recognized Tang Yue. Upon seeing her, they nodded slightly and then opened the door to the ancestral hall.

Ye Qiu followed closely behind and went straight inside.

As soon as he stepped inside, Ye Qiu couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.

The ancestral hall was dimly lit, and a faint stench of decay filled the air.

Several corpses, covered with white sheets, were neatly arranged on the ground. Ye Qiu stepped forward, lifted the white sheet from one of the corpses, and began to examine it carefully.

This person was basically drained dry, hollowed out, and the inside of the body was sunken in, with all the moisture drained away.

Clearly, this means the creature was parasitized and completely absorbed by the parasitic demon.

The corpse's skin was an unnatural grayish-black, especially around the neck and arms, which were covered with fine black lines, like some kind of eerie runes. Ye Qiu reached out and gently touched the lines, feeling a cold sensation, as if these lines were not inanimate objects, but rather had life of their own.

"Something's not right," Ye Qiu said in a low voice, his brows furrowed.

"These patterns..." Ye Qiu murmured to himself, his brows furrowed.

He recalled some descriptions he had seen in ancient books, and rarely would a parasitic demon be so shameless.

Because, to the parasitic demons, these ordinary people who have already been parasitized are essentially their demon soldiers, their helpers used to search for resources.

Secondly...

Those black lines seemed to have signs of life, like a parasitic organism...

They are mostly mutated varieties or products from laboratories.

Such a monster could not be born naturally.

Ye Qiu still remembers a book that interpreted it.

That is the punishment for humans breaking taboos!

However, these taboos are currently covered up, and even when they do appear, they mostly occur outside, rather than in areas where humans live.

But now?

The fact that this thing appeared in a village is very problematic.

Wearing specially made glasses, Lingling carefully examined the corpse. Her gaze moved back and forth across the black patterns, trying to capture more details.

"These patterns contain faint energy fluctuations, but they are very unstable," Lingling said.

"They seem to be constantly spreading, yet constantly dissipating. It's like..."

"Like what?" Tang Yue asked.

Lingling pondered for a moment, then explained in extremely vague language.

"It's like some kind of incomplete parasite."

"They seem to want to complete the parasitism, but are being hindered in some way."

The latest novel is first published here!

Ye Qiu nodded; he felt the same way. These black patterns were like some kind of ritual that had been forcibly interrupted; their power was bound and could not be fully released.

It even feels like this thing has become a separate, independent entity.

Ye Qiu nodded and said in a deep voice, "These patterns are not left by ordinary parasitic demons. Ordinary parasitic demons usually spread through blood or contact, and after parasitizing, they form a symbiotic relationship in the host's body, but these patterns... are more like some kind of man-made curse, or experimental product."

"Experimental product?" Tang Yue's expression changed. "You mean, this might be an experiment by the Black Vatican?"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out." Ye Qiu stood up, his gaze grave. "Other forces are also conducting demon experiments, aren't they?"

Lingling frowned as well. Even she, a master hunter, had to admit that this possibility was very high.

Humanity, being weak, naturally had to conduct experiments on demons to find their weaknesses and even create products that could counter them.

Ye Qiu shook his head: "We can't be sure yet, but we must find the parasitic demon's true form as soon as possible, otherwise the entire village will be in danger."

"I originally wanted to see these corpses to see how this demon spread its infection."

"But we found no trace, only these black lines. Did you perform an autopsy?"

Tang Yue shook her head and sighed helplessly, "I dare not take action. This is one of the few clues we have, and the local demon-hunting team doesn't know anyone there."

Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the ancestral hall. Tang Yue quickly went to the door and saw several villagers running over in a panic, their faces filled with fear.

"Something terrible has happened! Something's happened at the village entrance!" a villager said breathlessly.

"What happened?" Tang Yue asked immediately.

"Several villagers suddenly went berserk, biting anyone they saw, and they were incredibly strong! We couldn't stop them at all!" The villager's voice trembled, clearly terrified.

Ye Qiu and Lingling exchanged a glance and immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Let's go take a look!" Ye Qiu said decisively.

The three rushed to the village entrance and saw several villagers gathered together, trying to subdue a crazed man.

The man's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a low growl. He was incredibly strong; even several adult men couldn't hold him down.

Ye Qiu's gaze sharpened, and he immediately released a mind-based magic spell to soothe the other party.

However, the moment his mind magic touched the other party, he felt a strong resistance.

The next moment, Ye Qiu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately shouted.

"They're already demon soldiers, retreat!"
