The joker took Cong Min to the private house and ignored him for the time being. He reached out and groped the wall for a while, found a drawstring, and pulled it.

The tungsten lamp was turned on, and the dim yellow light instantly drove away the darkness in the room. Cong Min also used the light of the tungsten lamp to see clearly the appearance of the man in the cage.

The person in the cage had been locked up for an unknown amount of time. His hair was long and messy, and it hadn't been washed for a long time. It was all knotted together, making it difficult to see "his" face clearly. "He" is very thin, only a skeleton is left all over his body, and the clothes on "him" look empty.

Cong Min couldn't see the gender of "him" for the time being.

As if dead, when he heard someone coming in, he lay motionless in the cage.

Cong Min frowned involuntarily, and his eyes froze for a second, staring at a certain part of "his" body.I don't know if I read it wrong, Cong Min clearly saw a bug wriggling on "his" arm just now, but when he looked carefully, there was nothing there.

Did he see it wrong?

Cong Min was wondering, joker had already walked to the side of the cage.He unlocked the cage, opened the cage, grabbed "his" hair, and pulled "him" out of the cage.The iron chain that imprisoned "him" made a "cracking" sound because of the joker's rude movements, which was extremely ear-piercing.

"He" was pulled out by the joker, and fell to the ground bitterly.

The joker stared at "him" condescendingly, his eyes filled with madness and hatred, and his voice was very low, like a poisonous snake spitting out snake letters, "I'm back, have you seen it? I'm back."

The baby's face was full of gloom, ferocious and terrifying.

The person lying on the ground did not respond and was motionless. "His" head was facing Cong Min's direction, because of the joker's action just now, his hair was parted a little, revealing half of his face.

"He" was really thin, with no flesh visible on his face, his cheeks were deeply sunken, his eyeballs seemed to protrude from their sockets, his lips were dry and chapped, with no blood visible.

Only the slight movement of the nose can prove that "he" is still alive.

But Cong Min couldn't see any life in "his" eyes, there was nothing but nothingness.

"He" didn't respond to the joker, and seemed to anger the joker.

The joker raised his foot and stepped hard on the bloody palm of "his", but it was not enough, so he crushed it heavily again, Cong Min seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.

Cong Min frowned uncomfortably. If his body hadn't been controlled, he might have rushed over to push the joker away.

However, at this moment, he couldn't move at all without the joker's order.

The joker didn't notice Cong Min's mood swings. He squatted down on "his" feet and said in a dark voice, "Do you want to die? I just don't want you to die. Have you seen him?"

As joker said, he pointed at Cong Min and continued with a smirk, "He is a man of great luck. With his luck supporting you, you will never die."

"I can't die...hahahaha..."

joker raised his head and laughed, the expression on his face became more and more distorted, like a ghost from hell.

"His" eyeballs moved, and he opened his mouth again, but there seemed to be something blocked in his throat, and he couldn't make any sound.

But Cong Min could clearly see the shape of "his" mouth—run away.

Cong Min froze for a moment, he couldn't believe that the other party was already facing such a predicament, why did he still hope that he could escape?At that moment, Cong Min saw a trace of guilt in "his" eyes.

——Sorry, I hurt you.

Cong Min stared blankly at those eyes, feeling sour for a while.

The joker also saw "his" mouth shape, the laughter stopped abruptly, and he grabbed "his" chin, "You want him to run away?"

"He" didn't respond again.

The joker was not annoyed, he cut open his hand, took out a wriggling black worm from the blood, and shook the worm in front of "him", with a maniacal smile in his tone, "Do you know what this is? This is the mother Gu controlling him, as long as it is there, he will never be able to escape."

"I put it into your body, it will absorb his luck instead of me, nourish your body, and you will not die."

After saying that, the joker cut open "his" thin skin, and put the mother Gu on the wound. "His" body didn't have much blood anymore, there was only a little blood oozing from a deep wound.But this bit of blood is enough to attract Gu worms into "his" body.

The joker's eyes flashed with excitement, and he stared closely at the wound on "his" hand until the mother Gu completely penetrated into "his" body.

"Come here." joker turned to Cong Min and said.

Cong Min's body involuntarily walked towards the joker, and stopped in front of the joker.

The joker threw a small knife in front of Cong Min, and ordered with a superior attitude: "Pick it up, and cut your own hand."

Cong Min, who had always been obedient, suddenly stood there motionless, no longer following the joker's orders.

joker frowned, and emphasized the tone of the order, "Pick it up, and cut your own hand!"

Cong Min still didn't move.

The Gu worm's control over him seemed to have disappeared.

But joker can still clearly feel the connection of the Gu in Cong Min's body, why can't he use Cong Min?

The joker raised his head and bumped into Cong Min's clear eyes unexpectedly.

"You're not under my control?" joker stood up in surprise, but didn't hear Cong Min's answer, looked at Cong Min in surprise for a while, and became more excited when he understood.

Cong Min's luck is stronger than he thought, not only can make Cong Min's consciousness resist the control of Gu insects, but also prevent Cong Min from doing things that hurt him.

Greedy eyes flashed in joker's round eyes, if Cong Min's luck was transferred to himself...

As soon as he thought of this possibility, Joker's heart began to beat violently.No, he has to quickly develop a Gu that can completely transfer Cong Min's luck to himself!

The joker moved as he said, regardless of Cong Min and "him", he left this room eagerly, and trotted to another main room.

When the joker left, Cong Min stopped pretending. When the joker called him over just now, Cong Min found that the Gu worm's control over him had disappeared. He moved his hands and feet, squatted down and said to "him": " I'll take you away!"

"He" didn't even have the strength to shake his head, he just opened his mouth and let out a barely audible breath, "Run...run quickly."

Cong Min ignored it, and reached out to grab the iron chain on "him".

Naturally, the iron chain cannot be pulled open with bare hands, so Cong Min stared at the iron chain, trying to find the feeling of pausing traffic lights that day.

He put all his attention on the chain, nothing but one thing, "Cut it! Chop it!"

I don't know how long it took, the iron chain made a "cracking" sound, and it really broke!

"I'll take you out!" Cong Min showed a relieved smile, took off his coat, and carefully hugged "him". In order to reassure "him", Cong Min comforted: "My...friends are here too , he is very powerful, and he will definitely bring the bad guys to justice!"

Maybe the sun outside was too dazzling, or maybe Cong Min's smile was too bright, "he" slowly closed his eyes.

When he was about to walk out of the house, Cong Min covered "his" face with his coat. "He" has not seen the light for a long time, and if he is suddenly exposed to the sun, he will not adapt.

Although "his" world is still dark, he can clearly feel that there is light coming in.

Cong Min left the house unimpeded all the way, joker didn't chase him out, and he didn't see Xia Guhan and Gu Jinnian either.

Presumably Boss Xia has already controlled the joker.

Cong Min turned his head and glanced at the dilapidated houses, and left with "him" in his arms.

***

After the joker came out of the closed room, he went straight to the room on the left.

No one knew that there were joker Gu worms in this house that was in disrepair and looked like a haunted house.Once these Gu worms escaped, it would be an out-and-out disaster for Xiaohe Town.

Apparently joker doesn't care about that.If it wasn't for the fear of being discovered, he would most likely use the entire Xiaohe Town as his laboratory, and everyone in Xiaohe Town could become a container for Gu worms.

The joker ran towards the room where the Gu worms were kept with great enthusiasm.However, when he reached the door, his footsteps stopped suddenly.

The door opened.

Only he has the key to this room. Not only that, in order to prevent other people from approaching this room, he also sprinkled some poisonous powder around the room. Once anyone approaches, the poisonous powder will kill those people.

But now, the poison powder was not triggered, but the door of the house was opened.

Joker's excitement cooled down a bit, his eyes were icy cold, and then he suddenly lifted his foot and kicked open the half-covered door.

"boom!"

The door flicked inside, making an overwhelmed "squeak" sound.

joker also saw the intruder clearly.

"Why is it you!" joker couldn't help being surprised when he saw the person coming.He never expected that the person who broke in would be Cong Min's friend!

No, he must be more than just Cong Min's friend, otherwise he wouldn't appear here, and he was in the Gu worm but nothing happened.

The joker looked at Xia Guhan vigilantly, his thoughts were surging, but he pretended to be calm and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

Xia Guhan put the Gu worm in his hand back into the jar, slowly raised his eyes, there was no emotion in Tao Hua's eyes, only the endless darkness.He didn't answer the joker's question, but instead asked: "The person you locked up to raise the mother gu instead of you is your mother, Ms. Zhong Xiaolan, right?"
