The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2885

Carvalho looked at Mason and explained, "You might think that things such as parasitic worms seem to be untraceable and are very unscientific, but in truth, it is actually very scientific."

As he spoke, Carvalho then explained further, "A parasitic worm feeds on the human brain. Moreover, it needs to be a fresh human brain. This also means that the person must have just died not too long ago. Although the human brain has been devoured by the parasitic worm and has lost the entire central control nervous system, the person's bodily functions do not lose their vitality immediately. It is just like how a brain-dead person would often still have a heartbeat and blood circulation." 4

"The reason why a parasitic worm is so magical is because after it feeds on the human brain, it can temporarily take over the human's central nervous system and perform a simple manipulation and control of the human's body."

"For instance, the security guard just now could walk all the way here because he is under the control and manipulation of a parasitic worm. However, since he is already dead, his muscles are constantly stiffening, and that is the reason why his movements look very stiff." 4

"You can see that he can only perform basic movements such as walking, opening the door, and waving, but he cannot speak. This is mainly because the parasitic worm does not have a very deep manipulation over him. So, he can only be driven to perform very basic actions that are driven by its breeder's thoughts."

Mason looked at the security guard's back carefully before he hurriedly asked again, "Great-grandpa, can the parasitic worm control this corpse continuously?" 2

"Of course not." Carvalho said seriously, "First of all, the corpse will gradually stiffen and decay. Also, after the parasitic worm devours this person's entire brain, it will be able to survive for only one month at most even if it were to immediately enter a dormant state. It will starve to death if it does not eat again within a month."

Mason exclaimed, "If it must feed again within a month, doesn't that mean that the parasitic worm will have to kill one person every month?"

Carvalho replied in a cold voice, "A parasitic worm will only have to kill one person a month provided that it remains in a dormant state. However, if its breeder were to instruct the parasitic worm to go around killing people, it would have to feed once every few days..."

Mason had a shocked expression on his face as he said in a trembling voice, "This... there is a bloody human's life behind every single one of these parasitic worms! I've never heard of anything more evil than it in my whole life..."

Carvalho sighed and said, "That's because you've not seen much of this world yet. There are many more things that are eviler than a parasitic worm." The great-grandfather and great-grandson duo continued chatting as they walked, and they reached the depths of the cemetery very soon.

At this time, a thin old man was sitting with his legs crossed in the middle of an open space halfway up the mountain.

This person was Falco.

When Falco saw Carvalho and Mason walking up to him, Falco said, "Master Mason, I've heard a lot about your great reputation."

Carvalho hurriedly clasped one of

his hands over the other as he said, "Master Xanthos, I've also long heard of your great reputation. It is said that Master Xanthos is very awe-inspiring in the British Isles and that half of the Oskians in Europe have great respect for you! Now that I've finally met you today, it seems as though Master Xanthos truly possesses an extraordinary aura!"

The corner of Falco's mouth curved into an ugly smile as he immediately said, "Master Mason, it was a little too presumptuous of me to invite the both of you to come here today. It was because my favorite parasitic worm had traveled all the way here from England

with me, and it had already been starving for three days. I really could not bear to see it starve anymore, so I decided to bring it out to replace food. I hope that you'll be able to understand my predicament, Master Mason!"

When Carvalho heard that Falco was taking murder so lightly by simply referring to it as taking his parasitic worm out to replace some food, he could not help but feel extremely disgusted in his heart.

However, for the sake of his own reputation and also because it seemed as though the other party was very aggressive, Carvalho simply laughed slightly as he avoided the topic on parasitic worms as he said, "This place is not too crowded, so it is indeed a good place to discuss business." 2

Falco nodded as he said

melancholically, "I originally thought that this kind of place would certainly be the perfect place for my parasitic worm to feed until it is fully satisfied all at once. However, who the hell would have known that there would be only one security guard in such a large cemetery? It seems as though the developer of this

cemetery is really very stingy!"

Carvalho was aghast.

He understood Falco's words immediately. This guy must have thought that there would be at least a few security guards here. Moreover, it would be a good place to kill since there are not many people around. As a result, he is very dissatisfied because he found out that there is only one security guard here after coming to this place.' 5
