Skadi, returning to infinity

Suppressing her restlessness, Skadi stopped pursuing anything.

She also wanted to know what exactly caused her to be infected by the Gu worm.

[Ice Soul Gu Worm - Rank S: A very, very peculiar Gu worm that can be artificially bred and also exists in the wild. It can kill without anyone noticing.]

It burrows into a human body, manipulating the human's mind and body, turning them into its puppet. After long-term control, it will devour the human body.

The brain is split, replacing the consciousness of the original human. However, humans controlled by the Ice Soul Gu Worm have lost their normal human abilities and will only...

It becomes the hatching nest for the Ice Soul Gu Worm. If the Ice Soul Gu Worm senses danger, it will release a large amount of cold air to prevent other life from taking control of its body.

Approach. It is a highly concealed, extremely threatening, and ferocious Gu worm.

This was the description of the Gu worms that Skadi had brought out. While waiting for the rest of the Lei family to arrive, she carefully examined the creatures trapped in the water dungeon.

The Gu worms inside.

Compared to its ferocity inside the human body, it is incredibly docile in the water prison.

If Skadi hadn't personally removed it from the girl's body, probably no one would have guessed that this three-centimeter-long, snake-like creature...

The Gu worms were the culprit that caused the girl to fall into a coma for six days, freeze an area of ​​more than ten meters, and lower the temperature to more than minus fifty degrees Celsius.

Skadi wasn't particularly interested in it either, but she just stood there watching it with curiosity in her eyes.

"Lei Zi, Lei Zi, are you alright?"

As she was observing the Gu worms, a sudden burst of voices came from outside.

Along with these voices came a woman's shout.

"Lei Zi... it really is you, Jingzhe."

Upon hearing her shout, Skadi knew that this girl was the later Yan Kingdom Inspectorate officer who joined Rhodes Island, codenamed "Surprise".

The hibernating Qilin girl.

That's interesting.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Rising Storm of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the Hidden Crisis of the Lei Family

A woman dressed in elegant attire walked past Skadi, ran to the girl's side, and reached out to embrace her.

A middle-aged man followed behind the woman. He saw this scene and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Hello, you must be Miss Skadi?"

He seemed to know Skadi's identity as "Doctor," but he didn't mention it.

He just looked at her with a meaningful gaze, seemingly very interested in her.

"Wait a moment." She stretched out her hand, creating a soundproof barrier to prevent outsiders from hearing the information from inside, before nodding to Master Lei.

"Correct."

After she came to know her adult identity, she slid her hand onto the water sphere and pointed her finger at the Ice Soul Gu worm inside.

"This guy is the culprit who caused Miss Lei's illness."

"In terms of its nature, it should be a Gu worm."

Skadi explained how she used energy to stir the water and pull the worms to the side of the water sphere.

As if it had discovered a chance to escape, the Ice Soul Gu Worm rammed its head against the water wall, trying to break through the water sphere and emerge.

Skadi looked at it like that, then looked at Mr. Ray.

"Is it... the culprit that caused Lei Zi's coma?"

"We suspected from the beginning that it might be a problem with Gu worms, but we did not find any corresponding life signs."

"We also sent Lei Zi to the instrument for testing, and the instrument did not show any problem with extra life forms."

Where did you get it from?

Mr. Lei was somewhat puzzled, but his expression didn't show disbelief; rather, he was very curious.

"From the heart and lungs."

After Skadi finished speaking, she explained the characteristics of the [Ice Soul Gu Worm].

"So, you suspect that someone has cast a curse on my daughter, or that there are large areas in the wild where cursed insects thrive?"

"But as far as I know, Gu worms can only be cultivated and raised artificially, right?"

"Wild Gu worms are not Gu worms, but rather protozoa that can be cultivated into Gu worms."

"I really can't imagine a Gu worm that can grow wild."

He was, after all, a Yan citizen, and was much more familiar with this kind of thing than Skadi.

But the introduction to this Gu worm was given to her by Xiao Ai, and she didn't think Xiao Ai would lie to her.

"I've said everything I can say. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

"But you need to understand that the information I've given you is complete and truthful, and it's perfectly fine for you to question it. However, if this causes any..."

The problem is, you'll have to take responsibility for it yourself.

"I will save this part of the call and video. If anything unexpected happens later and you blame me for the problem, then this video..."

That will prove something.

The person he was talking to wasn't Skadi, but the Doctor.

Her eyes were fixed on him, her expression calm, showing no anger at his words.

However, she also made thorough preparations to prevent the other party from getting involved.

"Please don't mind me, I'm just surprised and don't understand things that are beyond my comprehension."

"It's not that I'm questioning Miss Skadi's judgment in any way."

He's a seasoned veteran, so how could he not know why Skadi said that?

He immediately apologized and explained the reason, trying to avoid giving Skadi a negative impression.

"She hasn't given me any response regarding what your daughter actually did."

"It is said that she cannot recall it temporarily, which seems to be due to the period of sleep that has blurred her memory."

"Of course, I tend to think that it was a curse, and that memory was either erased or suppressed."

"However, these are all speculations. We'll have to wait a couple of days until her body and condition have fully recovered before we can make a judgment."

Skadi also explained Raiko's situation clearly. As a doctor, she had already explained everything she could to Raiko's relatives.

What happens next is beyond her control as a doctor.

"I understand. Miss Skadi, please stay at this residence for two days. We will make a judgment and see how things go after Lei Zi recovers."

Master Lei also hoped that Skadi could stay, after all, he was not sure whether Lei would be in trouble after the Gu worm was taken out.

"I don't mind, you just need to arrange a separate courtyard for a few of us to rest."

"However, I have a request, and I don't know if you can help me with it."

Since Skadi has chosen to stay, she won't leave easily.

All she needs is a place to rest; she doesn't care about anything else.

But she also had things she wanted to do, so she wanted to ask if there was anything she could do to help, given that he was a high-ranking official in the Great Yan Dynasty.

"If it involves the current emperor, I'm afraid it's not possible."

When Master Lei saw her like this, he had already guessed what was going on, so he politely declined when he spoke.

"Okay, thanks."

Skadi shrugged, not caring at all.

She just wanted to try it out; she didn't really expect the other person to have to respond to her.

After all, she knew that meeting the current emperor was not an easy task, and she just wanted to give it a try.

"Although it is impossible to arrange for Miss Skadi to meet with the current Emperor, if Miss Skadi has anything she wishes to say to the Emperor, I will consider it accordingly."

"I'm here to help."

Letting Skadi meet the real dragon is too risky; even Grandpa Ray himself can't afford to take that risk.

But if it's just about relaying messages, then it's much simpler.

"Take a look at this letter and then pass it on to the current ruler."

Skadi handed him a prepared letter, not caring whether he read it or not.

"like......

It seemed that Master Lei was trying to say something; if the letter contained anything inappropriate, he wouldn't have submitted it.

Because that would be very dangerous for him, and he couldn't do it for the sake of his family.

"If there's anything you don't like, just cross it out and rewrite it yourself."

"However, I hope that after you finish writing, there will be no ambiguity in the meaning of what you have said about me that you have kept."

"Otherwise, I'll risk everything to find the real dragon and confront him."

Skadi reminded her that the footage she just mentioned still exists.

This means that if Mr. Lei deliberately does something that would harm her interests, she wouldn't mind making a big fuss about it.

"Don't worry, based on the fact that Miss Skadi saved my daughter, I won't do such a thing."

Mr. Ray admired Skadi's wariness and caution; he saw her as a true man of great things.

No wonder Babel Tower has been developing so rapidly this year, with more and more forces within Yan cooperating with them.

Given this situation, I should also consider whether there are any opportunities to cooperate with them.
