Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 372 The Vicious Forgetful Worm

"Now that the waters of the Sacred Spring and Kun Spring are gone, it seems our plan can no longer be implemented. The Ancient King will eventually awaken. Are we really going to leave it to fate?" Han Ji raised his head and looked at the golden barrier, his eyes filled with a sense of vicissitude.

Just then, the ground suddenly trembled slightly, and Han Ji, the gray-white mysterious man, and Jiang Han, who noticed it, all looked towards the direction of the North District.

The Corpse of the Mountain Peak...

The corpse of the mountain peak had somehow entered the North District. Its solitary body, towering into the dark clouds, was so visually striking. Its eyes, radiating the light of death, seemed to be proclaiming that everything would sink into hell!

"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. I thought you'd be a few days late," Han Ji said in a low voice.

"The Black Vatican hasn't been caught yet. If the undead army launches an attack now, the inner city's barrier might not hold for long," the gray-haired mystery man said, his face also filled with worry.

"I have leads on Grand Deacon Hujin, which might help me resolve the Black Vatican issue sooner," Jiang Han said.

"How did you find out about this important leader under Salang's command?" the gray-haired mystery man asked with some surprise.

Zhang Xiaohou hurriedly explained what he had seen and heard in Xianchi, and the gray-white mysterious man suddenly realized that he had some knowledge of it when he was infiltrating Huacun. If it weren't for his existence, Zhang Xiaohou might have been killed by the Black Vatican long ago, but Zhang Xiaohou was unaware of this.

"Well, as for the identity of Grand Steward Hujin, I already have people who suspect him," Jiang Han said calmly.

"Who is it? I'll send men to subdue him immediately," the gray-haired mystery man said urgently.

"The person in charge of transferring the disaster victims from Bo City to the ancient capital is Mu He!!" Jiang Han said, glancing at Zhang Xiaohou. If he wasn't mistaken, the curse on Zhang Xiaohou was meant to make him forget Mu He's true identity.

He Yu paused for a moment, then blurted out, "Mu He? Isn't that Mu Bai's uncle? Could it be that Mu Bai also has a problem?"

"Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!"

Upon hearing Mu He's name, Zhang Xiaohou clutched his head, trembled violently, and knelt on the ground. The pain in his head felt like it was about to split open, and he kept pounding his head to relieve the pain.

"Xiao Hou, Xiao Hou, what's wrong? Don't scare me!" He Yu rushed over to help the agonizing Zhang Xiao Hou.

"President Han Ji, my companion is cursed by the Black Vatican. Could you please take a look at him?" Jiang Han said, equally worried.

Han Ji strode directly to Zhang Xiaohou, grabbed his wrist, and tore open his sleeve. Instantly, a black, centipede-like mark appeared on Zhang Xiaohou's arm, looking extremely ferocious, as if it were embedded in his flesh.

"Forget-me-not!" Han Ji exclaimed in surprise.

"All I know is that the monkey has been cursed, and the curse also contains mental energy," Jiang Han said.

He Yu and Su Xiaoluo were both stunned. They hadn't expected that Zhang Xiaohou would have such a black centipede on his body. Just thinking about how terrifying it must be for such a thing to be inside a person's body.

Zhang Xiaohou appeared to be in great pain at that moment, and his lips were bleeding from being bitten.

After recognizing the curse on Zhang Xiaohou, Han Ji held nothing back. A soft blue light emanated from his body, and a healing spirit danced on his withered fingertips, then gently floated towards Zhang Xiaohou's body.

As the healing sprite collided with the black poisonous centipede, Zhang Xiaohou's skin became almost transparent. A poisonous line, like a worm's silk, ran from his wrist to his shoulder, then down his neck, and finally disappeared into the back of his head.

"The Forget Worm is a kind of bizarre insect that combines mental and curse abilities; it devours important memories deep within a person's heart."

"If someone infected with the forgetfulness worm were to one day remember the things they had forgotten, it would mean they are not far from death," the gray-haired mystery explained to Jiang Han and the others.

"Zhang Xiaohou's memory has recovered quite a bit, doesn't that mean he..." Su Xiaoluo said with a look of horror.

"Just as you guessed, the more fully he recovers, the closer he gets to death. Most of the medications you gave him likely contain substances that inhibit the growth of the Forgetfulness Worm; otherwise, he would have been killed by the capital long ago. This is the insidious nature of combining mind-based and curse-based techniques," Han Ji said, looking at Su Xiaoluo.

At this moment, the battle between the healing sprite released by Han Ji and the black centipede was about to end. The healing sprite was being defeated by the black centipede, losing two of its four small wings and its body was covered in black venom.

During the battle between the healing spirit and the black centipede, Zhang Xiaohou was in extreme pain, his body covered in cold sweat, and his veins bulging as if they were about to burst from his skin.

The most terrifying thing was the centipede-like forget-me-not, which seemed to know that its life was threatened.

It quickened its pace and killed the healing elf in just a few breaths. Then it crawled along the black thread and finally reached the back of Zhang Xiaohou's head!

"This Forget-Me-Not Worm has already taken shape, and it will be quite difficult to kill it. It seems that your friend not only heard the voice of Grand Steward Hujin, but also knew about their plan. It's just that he can't remember it at all, so in his subconscious he felt that he only heard his voice," the gray-white mysterious man said in a deep voice.
