NOVPUBChapter 1023: Chapter 1018: Parasite 2_1 Chapter 1023 -1018: Parasite 2_1 “Ah!” Suddenly, a piercing scream violently entered Finn Lewis’s ears.
With a slight force of his legs, Finn’s whole body lunged toward the direction of the sound.
At the same time, his right hand swung the long sword into action.
As he rounded the corner, a hall suddenly came into view, but the scene inside the hall made Finn feel nauseous.
The place resembled a slaughterhouse, filled with various corpses that were almost beyond recognition.
On the ground, there was some dark green slime about twenty centimeters deep, and the color of this slime was very similar to the thin layer in the corridor outside.
Besides these rotten bodies, of which there were at least a hundred, there was nothing else in the hall.
...
Finn frowned, and just as he was about to step forward, suddenly, a shadow burst out of the green slime on the ground in front of him.
The shadow’s ejection was incredibly fast, almost describable as lightning-fast, certainly surpassing the reaction speed of any person.
But Finn was different.
Although his body might not react quickly enough, don’t forget, Finn had something else—psychic power.
Finn’s formidable psychic power, which could now drag objects weighing several tons, was something he rarely used, but he trained regularly.
At this moment, Finn’s subconscious psychic power set up a barrier directly in front of him.
With a “snap,” the shadow collided with a spot less than five centimeters from Finn’s face, but it couldn’t advance any further.
It was as if it had slammed into an invisible transparent barrier, merely sticking against it.
Finn then snapped back to reality, his body retreating a few steps, but his psychic power completely sealed the passageway ahead.
This was also a method of using psychic power that Finn had researched, but now as he concentrated on the shadow, Finn’s expression involuntarily twitched slightly.
The phenomenon seemed very familiar to him; it was tiny, about the size of a person’s index finger.
But it appeared to be an insect, and the area where it clung to the psychic barrier, at the front and belly, was covered with densely packed, hundreds of tiny tentacles.
These tentacles, currently squirming incessantly, looked extremely disgusting, but Finn had completely immobilized it in mid-air, rendering it motionless.
“Luna Starfield, cross-reference this.
I find this thing very familiar, but I can’t remember it,” Finn carefully recounted in his brain but couldn’t recall what the thing resembled.
He just felt as if he had seen it before and was quite familiar with it.
“Your Highness, this is a type of parasitic worm unique to the Insect Species of Icarus.
They are very similar but differ slightly in appearance,” Luna Starfield immediately provided the answer.
Finn was momentarily stunned; he suddenly remembered why this thing seemed familiar.
Although he had brought back the Insect Species, Finn had never seen what their parasites looked like.
However, when Finn was in another six-dimensional space-time, he had killed many zombie-like individuals; those were people infested by parasites.
Those people also retained only their instincts and were equally terrifying.
When Finn killed them, he had cracked open their skulls many times to see inside, and indeed, there was such a worm.
The tentacles of this worm, once inside a human body, would penetrate directly into the nervous system, take control, and eradicate the person’s consciousness.
