Chapter 1145: Parasite
The second young master became frustrated as he looked at the current situation. He felt like the first young master is completely stealing his thunder in every situation. Even the idea of energy diffusion felt like it was being targeted at him. He felt like it was made to overthrow his own idea not for the sake of the branch.
After all, he is that self-centered. How can he not think like that?"
So, as soon as the meeting was over, he went to the residence he was given as the supervisor and he snuck in a prostitute from the refugee area where the evacuated citizens are located and took his frustration out on her.
His personal guards sent her away and dropped her at the border of the refugee area. They were very discreet about the whole thing as this is against the rules and they didn't dare go inside as they would be spotted by someone and the second young master would be in big trouble.
The guards of the refugee area who were bribed earlier discreetly took the woman away from the point and gave her a temporary residence in the refugee area. This is a personal residence, even though it has only one room, in the refugee area that was a luxury.
And the woman is also extremely satisfied with the arrangement as she needed to share the room with ten people previously.
She felt like the rough treatment she received was worth it as she slept on the bed to rest.
Arkiv looked at the whole process from far away and marked the location of the woman.
He took up a spot in a nearby building and hid away as he waited.
Arkiv felt like it would take a long time so he drew the bow string and a spiritual energy arrow was formed. He released it away and the arrow shot through the window into the room and diffused into a small wave of energy. The woman woke up from the impact of the small energy wave and stood up as she looked around in wariness.
She walked towards the door to call for the guards in panic, but as soon as she crossed the window, a spiritual energy arrow struck her on the neck and she died on the spot.
Arkiv left the spot and went back to the residence of the first young master.
Since Sam's surveillance insects are on the second young master's tail, he doesn't need to tail him and find out about each and every person he came into contact with.
So, he got instructions from Sam and the way was guided by the insects as he went to the next target after two hours.
The plan is going smoothly for now and Sam is waiting for the results to show.
Meanwhile, he got busy with something else.
At this moment, he is currently doing another test of Markan.
Sam looked at his situation and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
No matter how much elemental energy was injected into his meridian network, it was being simply disappearing.
He doesn't know where it is going and how a mass of energy could disappear into nothing like that. No matter how many supernatural things are in this world, Sam is sure that this world still obeys all the laws of nature and law of conservation of energy is one of them.
He doesn't believe that the elemental energy is being sucked away just like that.
So, he can only search more and more.
After searching for every kind of seal possible, at least to the extent of his knowledge, Sam didn't find remotely any trace of seal on Markan's body.
He is sure that his body is completely devoid any form of seal.
This made him even more frustrated about the problem.
As he thought of different scenarios, he decided on taking a different approach.
He sat on the ground with his legs crossed and took a deep breath as he entered the state of meditation.
He started eliminating all kinds of elemental energies, spiritual energy and other supernatural things from his mind and started thinking differently. He started analyzing the problem as how a normal doctor would.
First, he needed to find an analogy for the problem Markan is currently facing.
After some thought, he equated the spiritual energy to the nutrients and the Markan's situation is deficiency of energy and another symptom is the nutrients are disappearing as soon as they entered the body and deficiency is not being cured.
And if those specific nutrients are even being secreted by body but they are still disappearing to nowhere.
If it is a modern time, what would doctors think? As he thought process went in this direction, he suddenly had a thought.
"Parasite."
He muttered as he opened his eyes.
Tapeworms in human bodies will absorb the Vitamin B12.
Whether they are being secreted from the food in their body or taken through an external source.
Since he came to this world, he involuntarily didn't think of anything related to viruses, bacteria, parasites and such. After all, all the sicknesses either came through the poisons, elemental energy incompatibilities or most of them are physical injuries.
He didn't come across sicknesses that are caused by microorganisms. Except for the one that he started himself for General Spark many years ago with urine and mucus of some beasts.
So, his thoughts didn't go in that direction at all, but once they went there, he couldn't stop himself.
He immediately ran out of his tent and went to Markan.
"I need your blood." Sam asked directly.
Markan looked at him in confusion, but he still took out a dagger and drew some blood into a container Sam has brought.
Sam went back into his tent and started his test.
First he took out a crystal plate which has an inscription drawn on one side. It is of a healing formation which keeps the vitality intact. This is a prototype for a surgical table Sam is designing in his leisure.
On the plate, he placed a drop of blood and activated the formation keeping the cells in the blood alive.
After that, he used the observation ability on the drop of blood.
With his cultivation, the observation ability has also grown which is obvious and there is also another aspect of the ability that improved and that is, the more concentrated his range of observation is the more detailed the image would be.
So, the smaller the volume of the object he is observing the more detailed the picture would be.
Since he is focusing all his observation ability on a drop of blood, he can even see the structure of each cell in a detailed view.
And when he saw that he was dumbfounded.
Because, he could see the obvious structure of the different bloodcells, but there is one type of cell which is definitely not a blood cell.
And soon he realized that it is not even a cell at all. It is a whole organism which is only the size of a cell. This made his breath run cold. He came across these kinds organisms back in his past life and they were the ones that one should be afraid of at that time.
But he didn't think they would be here too and as soon as that thought came, he felt like a stupid. How could he possibly eliminate a possibility just because he didn't come across that. That is not like him.
This made him scold himself in his head while he proceeded to observe this organism.
He placed a hand on the crystal plate and injected some elemental energy which moved towards the drop of the blood.
As soon as the energy touched the blood, he could see through his observation ability that these foreign organisms are swallowing the elemental energy.
They are absorbing instantly without even a fraction of second delay and right there and then, they became larger.
The more they absorbed the larger they became. He became shocked as he saw them bulging more and more and soon they multiplied. Right in front of his eyes, the volume of the blood increased and that is not because of the increased blood cells, rather it is because of the completely expansion of these parasites.
After some thought, he kept on increasing the elemental energy and soon the first set of the organisms multiplied another time and they soon died off and the second set of the organisms are also close to multiplying once again.
Sam stopped the observation and inhaled a breath of cold air.
He didn't expect this. He suddenly thought of the energy he stored in the container and took it out. This mass of black-colored energy is still as lively as ever and as soon as Sam injected energy into it, it became livelier.
He suddenly thought of what kind of person could make these things. A parasitic energy seal that makes a person unable to increase their cultivation and a parasitic microorganism that would make a person unable to showcase his abilities.
