Mr. Mai looked at Mike and explained, “You think things like Gu worms are some unseen and unscientific force? Their existence is grounded in science!”
With that said, Mr. Mai further explained, “Gu worms feed on human brains, and they must be fresh brains at that. Naturally that means the host has just died, and although the host’s brain was eaten by Gu worms, the entire central nervous system, as well as the body’s more basic functions won’t immediately lose its vitality. Just like how brain-dead people often have a heartbeat and blood circulation.”
“The reason why Gu worms are magical is that after eating the brain, they can temporarily take control of the human central nervous system and then perform simple manipulations of the human body.”
“It’s like the security guard just now. He is controlled by a Gu worm; it’s how favonovel.com is able to walk. However, because the host is dead and his muscles are constantly rigid, his actions are relatively stiff.”
“As you saw, the host was able to walk, open a door, and wave his arm. However, favonovel.com was unable to speak, mainly because the Gu worms control is pretty simplistic under the guidance of the Gu keeper’s mind.”
Mike looked at the back of the security guard carefully, and hurriedly asked, “Grandpa, can Gu worm control this corpse all the time?”
“Of course not.” Mr. Mai said solemnly, “Not only will the corpse gradually stiffen and decay but the Gu worm itself, even if after eating the brain it went into hibernation, it could survive at most a month. If it doesn’t eat again within a month, it’ll starve to death.”
Mike exclaimed, “It must eat again within a month. Doesn’t that mean it will kill a person in a month!?”
Mr. Mai said coldly, “If it has been kept in it’s hibernative state, then yes it only needs to kill once a month. However, if the Gu keeper is keeping it active, it may have to eat at least once every few days…”
Mike looked horrified and trembled, “This… Behind every Gu worm is a bloody trail of human life!? I’ve never heard of anything more evil than it in all my life…”
Mr. Mai sighed, “That’s because you don’t yet have enough knowledge. There are some things that exist that are far more evil than Gu worms.”
The grandfather and grandson continued to talk as they walked, and soon they reached the depths of the cemetery. In a clearing halfway up the hillside, a lean old man was sitting cross-legged in the middle of a clearing. It was Kit Fuller.
Seeing Mr. Mai and Mike approach him, Kit Fuller said, “Mr. Mai, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Mr. Mai hurriedly bowed his hand, “I’ve also heard a lot about you, Master Fuller. It is said that Master Fuller is highly respected across the British isles, and over half the Chinese in Europe hold Master Fuller in high regard. From what I saw today, Master Fuller’s bearing is really extraordinary!”
Kit Fuller wiped an ugly smile at the corner of his mouth, and immediately said, “Mr. Mai, it is a bit presumptuous of me to ask you to come here today. It was mainly because my Gu worm came here with me from England. It’s been hungry for three days, and I really couldn’t bear to see it go hungry any longer, so I brought it out to find a bite to eat. Please forgive me!”
When Mr. Mai heard Kit Fuller speak of the murder so lightly simply because favonovel.com needed to feed his Gu worm, favonovel.com was disgusted with Kit Fuller to the extreme in his heart.
