Chapter 1142
1142 The secret tower’s city Lord’s scheme (1)
Although it was only a simple line of words, Tang Zhen seemed to be able to understand the shock in the heart of the hidden world Tower’s city Lord at that time, as well as the pain and unwillingness!
His hands must have been shaking when he wrote this, or the words wouldn’t have been so distorted.
If the owner of the hidden world Tower was infected by the worm, he would gradually lose his freedom and eventually become the worm’s puppet.
A bug that could control a host’s words and actions would never let go of such an important person. However, as long as they controlled the owner of the hidden world Tower, it was equivalent to completely controlling the entire country.
At that time, he only needed to control the secluded City Master to open the passage and let the insects from the outside in!
After the owner of the secluded tower confirmed that he had been parasitized, he immediately realized that the secluded tower had reached a critical moment of life and death. Perhaps after he was completely controlled, the secluded tower that had been passed down for many years would face its end!
As a King level cultivator and the master of a city, the secluded City Master would never admit defeat so easily. So, he began to think of ways to solve the crisis he was facing.
The next paragraph of text recorded the entire process.
“I know I can’t admit defeat like this, because the future of the hidden world Tower depends on me. I have to find a way to solve this fatal crisis!
Although the bugs in my mind kept trying to control me and create all kinds of illusions, I was able to resist them all. However, my mood became more and more urgent, because I felt that my resistance was getting weaker and weaker.”
“My most trusted maid suddenly told me that she was the one who put the eggs in my food, causing me to become a parasite without me knowing.
Looking at the strange smile on her face and her mocking words, I originally thought that I would kill her in anger, but in the end, I chose to remain silent.
what has happened has already happened. I’m too lazy to do such a cowardly act to vent my anger and let those damn bugs see me as a joke!
Not to mention that I was also responsible for what happened today. If I hadn’t been blinded by the huge wealth, I would have carefully examined the origin stones and discovered the abnormality of these origin stones.
However, I still couldn’t control my hands and feet. In the end, I opened up the maid’s head and began to study the insects that were living inside, trying to find a solution to the problem.”
Tang Zhen nodded his head when he saw this. The hidden city Master had finally realized that there might be a problem with the origin stones. This was because as long as he analyzed the entire process of the incident, he would be able to guess that the insect was definitely hiding within the origin stones.
The cultivators of the secluded tower might have moved an entire hive into the tower!
However, things had developed to this point and it was almost impossible to reverse it. The fate of the secluded tower seemed to have been decided!
However, the secluded City Master was obviously unwilling to admit defeat like this. Instead, before he was controlled by the insects, he began a series of actions. Killing his maid to study the insects was just an insignificant thing, because what he did next was even more brutal.
“Today, I gathered all the infected people in the city, more than 3000 people. Then, I silently watched them being surrounded and killed, and then burned.
Even though this is extremely painful for me, I have no choice but to do this in order to protect the tower!”
“After I washed myself, I thought I was the only one infected in Lou Cheng. I didn’t expect that night, my wife would be sitting on the bed and looking at me with a strange smile.
She told me in a proud tone that the bugs that controlled the people in the building were only the lowest level of the bugs. There was a higher level bug King above them, and all the bugs were under its control!
And that bug King is now in my mind!
Even if I kill all the residents, as long as the king is still in my mind, the parasite will not stop until all the residents are killed!”
I was filled with despair and wanted to give up, but I was unwilling to give up. So, I thought hard for the whole night and finally came up with a solution!
“I’ve ordered people to use the special metal in the space TOWER to create a completely sealed metal house. A large number of runes and magic circles were carved on the outside to isolate the insects” communication channel similar to spiritual power.
After that, I will seal myself in the room and completely isolate myself from the outside world. This way, the bug King will not be able to control the bugs outside. I will also use some special means to prevent myself from opening the corridor again under the situation of not being under control.
Because of the existence of the origin stone, I won’t suffocate to death for a long time.”
Tang Zhen came to a sudden realization when he saw this. No wonder the corpse of the hidden world Tower’s city Lord was firmly fixed to the ground. His limbs had also been completely severed. It seemed like this was most likely the “special technique” of the hidden world city Lord!
The secluded City Master, who knew that he would not be able to escape death, did such a self-destructive action in order to prevent the city from being destroyed by the insects. He was decisive and ruthless!
Tang Zhen was suddenly very interested. He wanted to see what would happen next.
“I walked into the metal house and ordered people to seal the door and bury it underground. Then, I began a long wait.
As long as I don’t leave this metal house, the bug King won’t be able to control the bugs outside. The origin stone, the main culprit, has also been moved in and used as the runic magic Circle’s energy source to imprison the bug King in my body!”
“I don’t know if this will be effective, but I have to do it!”
Tang Zhen shook his head when he saw this and continued reading.
“The bug King in my mind became extremely restless, and I also fell into great pain. I felt my consciousness slowly disappearing.”
Soon, the illegible handwriting appeared on the diary again, with only a few words.
“I’m about to succeed!”
Tang Zhen knew that this wasn’t the hidden world Tower’s city Lord’s handwriting. Although it was indeed written by his body, the one controlling the body at that time was the bug King!
The following words were sometimes messy and sometimes neat. It was as if two people were writing sentence after sentence, and this continued until the last page.
“This is the last time I’m writing down notes. I can’t control my body anymore, so I’m preparing to use my final special means.
I will cut off my hands and feet, firmly fix myself to the ground, and use my body as a cage to imprison the bug King!
However, it was only at this moment that I discovered that the metal house actually had a hidden hole that was connected to the outside. This was clearly the doing of the residents controlled by the bug King!
It’s a pity that I don’t have the strength to investigate and hold them accountable, I only hope that the secluded tower can safely pass through this tribulation.”
The diary ended here. The owner of the hidden city must have cut off his hands and feet, and then fixed himself firmly on the nodes of the runic magic circle with a pre-set hook.
This way, even if he died, he could still imprison the bug King in his body!
However, the hole in the metal house had caused the secluded City master’s efforts to go to waste. The thick tube that grew out of the back of his head was probably the bug King’s main way of contacting the outside world and controlling the blob monster.
It was even possible that the huge tumor was actually a part of the bug King’s body. There was something in the soil of the spatial tower that caused it to undergo a terrifying mutation.
After retaining its ability to control it with its spiritual power, the bug King’s body continued to devour the soil and grew in size. At the same time, it began to produce a large number of bug eggs!
In the following days, the residents of the hidden world Tower were all killed by the outbreak of mutated insects. Then, the hidden world Tower was teleported back to the tower world.
The bug King that was living inside the secluded tower’s city Lord was lucky enough to escape. It did not turn into a monster, or it had already turned into a monster.
After that, it used some unknown method to open the passage for a period of time every 100 years, attracting cultivators from the outside to enter and then turning them into food for the insects.
As for why the bugs didn’t leave this place, it was probably because they were under the control of the bug King. Under the situation where the bug King couldn’t leave, they couldn’t leave either!
The moment Tang Zhen killed the bug King, all the bugs were no longer restricted and naturally swarmed out!
