The interrogation room door burst open, and Captain Lin rushed in with a group of officers. Some carried chairs, others carried flowerpots, while Captain Lin himself held a fire extinguisher. The way they stormed in was as if preparing for a major confrontation!
The bloody creature looked like a thick thumb-sized worm, about the length of two fingers, resembling a silkworm. It crawled toward the middle-aged man lying face-down on the floor…
When the middle-aged man saw the worm, he was startled too, quickly scrambling backward to avoid it.
The door to the interrogation room suddenly swung open. Captain Lin burst in with a group of officers—some holding chairs, others carrying flower pots, while Captain Lin himself wielded a fire extinguisher… Their formation made it look as though they were facing a formidable enemy.
The bloody thing appeared to be a worm as thick as a thumb and about two fingers long, resembling a silkworm. It crawled toward the middle-aged man lying on the floor…
Seeing the worm, the man was startled and quickly scrambled backward.
“Could it be a gu worm?”
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, and he hurriedly shouted, “Quick, cover it with something!”
No sooner had Shui Miao spoken than the worm, as if understanding human language, raised its body and emitted a faint hissing sound toward the middle-aged man. The man seemed entranced, staring blankly as he leaned toward the worm and opened his mouth… Seizing the opportunity, the worm suddenly sped up, scurrying rapidly toward him.
“Swish!”
Lin Xue threw the pen in her hand, striking the worm’s body with precision.
After all, Lin Xue was a martial arts champion, skilled in all forms of combat.
The middle-aged man snapped back to reality and hurriedly retreated again. Seeing this, Chu Miaoyi quickly took out her keys and unlocked the man’s handcuffs, while a male officer brought an ashtray and covered the worm with it. However, the worm, pierced by the pen, struggled several times until the ashtray fell off. To everyone’s shock, it extended a pair of bloody wings and was about to fly when Captain Lin doused it with the fire extinguisher.
The worm was killed.
But as it died, it let out a series of miserable cries.
After hearing the agonizing screams, the middle-aged man clutched his stomach in severe pain and urgently asked where the restroom was…
Officer Xiao Li quickly escorted him to the toilet.
But before they could even reach the door, the man let out a loud fart and soiled his pants…
Everyone was disgusted.
Looking at the floor where the man had passed, many wriggling white worms were squirming, causing those with weak stomachs to cover their mouths and dry heave as they ran away.
Shui Miao and Wang Yong also quickly stepped back, not because the worms were nauseating, but because the smell was unbearably foul.
The middle-aged man had actually excreted a large number of worms!
What the hell, was he even human?
Everyone was covered in goosebumps, and no one wanted to clean up such a mess.
Left with no choice, Captain Lin activated a flamethrower and torched the area furiously.
Outside the police station, the evening glow of dusk cast a warm light on everyone’s faces, yet it couldn’t hide their pale complexions.
Chu Miaoyi was vomiting the most… Just the thought of it made her retch…
Lin Xue and Shui Miao were relatively fine, but Wang Yong was also vomiting severely!
As for the other dozen or so officers, they were vomiting uncontrollably as well.
Bizarre, truly bizarre. Passersby were utterly puzzled—what kind of situation could cause a whole row of police officers to vomit in unison? Could it be that they all got food poisoning from a public-funded feast?
※※※
Half an hour later, the police station was finally cleaned up.
However, the middle-aged man had been sent to the hospital.
With a stomach full of worms, how could such a person be kept in detention?
The man had become extremely weak. After a hospital examination, goodness—he was practically a “worm man”! His stomach was filled with worm eggs!
That night, the doctors had their hands full.
Gastric lavage, enemas, anti-inflammatory and deworming medications, IV drips for parasite expulsion—the man was put through so much that he became even weaker.
It wasn’t until past 11 p.m. that a large group of doctors emerged from the ward, each grimacing as if they had swallowed a bunch of worms themselves.
Shui Miao, who wasn’t feeling sleepy, entered the ward with a few officers. Well, the middle-aged man looked completely different now—his hair and eyebrows shaved off, his body coated in medication, wearing nothing but large shorts. The hospital bed was specially designed with a toilet underneath for immediate flushing, and an IV drip attached to each arm, working simultaneously.
When the man saw everyone enter, the corners of his mouth tw slightly, and he weakly said, “Thank you.”
He actually said thank you?
These words left everyone stunned!
Since this guy had been brought to the station, this was the first time he had spoken like a human being.
However, Lin Xue didn’t take his gratitude seriously. Instead, she curled her lip and said, “You should be thanking Shui Miao properly. He’s the one who paid for all your hospital expenses. You messed with his family’s ancestral grave with malicious intent—you’d do anything for money. You’re rotten to the core, and you’re so narrow-minded that you even tried to harm Shui Miao’s life. If I were him, I wouldn’t waste money helping you get treatment.”
“Sis Lin, please don’t say that. ‘Human nature is inherently good.’ It’s not that big of a deal. I’m just doing what I can to help. I believe he was just momentarily blinded by money.”
Shui Miao felt somewhat embarrassed. Actually, it hadn’t cost much—less than ten thousand yuan.
Moreover, Shui Miao wanted to use this opportunity to reconcile with the middle-aged man, to prevent him from targeting his family in the future.
“Thank you… thank you!” The middle-aged man looked at Shui Miao with emotion, his eyes gradually moistening. “Shui Miao, you’re the first good person I’ve met in my life. For your kindness, I’m willing to confess…”
Surprise—everyone was taken aback.
Moved by Shui Miao’s compassion, the man was actually willing to cooperate.
Chu Miaoyi quickly found a stool to sit on and took out pen and paper to record his statement.
Shui Miao smiled faintly at the middle-aged man. “Uncle, speak up. If you reveal the mastermind, you’ll have atoned for your mistakes.”
“Heh…” The man gently waved his hand. “Actually, I’m not that old. It’s just that I’ve suffered so much in the remote mountains that I look much older than I am. In fact, I’m only twenty-six. My name is Long Xingyun. I was hired by a man named He Nan. The evil worm array at the Yao family’s ancestral grave was set up by me… Heh, little brother Shui Miao, you thought you broke that array, but you actually didn’t succeed. I came after you because you killed the flying centipede I painstakingly cultivated, not because you broke the array.”
“What? I… I don’t quite understand. Did you set up some kind of array there?”
Shui Miao was confused—he hadn’t noticed any array at all.
“Heh…” Long Xingyun smiled faintly again. “My grandfather was a gold-medal feng shui master from the Tianfu Sect in Sichuan. I inherited his true teachings. With just a slight adjustment, I can complete a feng shui array. With a tiny manipulation, I can ruin even the best feng shui layout. Setting up an evil array is an effortless task for me. If you don’t believe me, go back and look at those graves. The soil in that area is entirely black, heavily saturated with malignant energy. Even if their family moves the graves, the malignant energy will follow them, relentlessly haunting their descendants until they perish completely.”
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, and he quickly shouted, “Quick! Cover it with something!”
As soon as Shui Miao shouted, the worm seemed to understand human language. It suddenly stood upright, hissed softly toward the middle-aged man, who then appeared bewitched, dazedly inching closer to the worm with his mouth wide open. Seeing this, the worm suddenly sped up and charged toward the man.
“Whoosh!”
Lin Xue suddenly threw the pen in her hand, impaling the worm.
After all, Lin Xue was a martial arts champion, skilled in all sorts of combat techniques.
The middle-aged man snapped back to his senses and quickly retreated again. Seeing this, Chu Miaoyi swiftly took out a key and unlocked the man’s handcuffs. Meanwhile, a male officer grabbed an ashtray and placed it over the worm. However, the worm had already been pierced by the pen. After a few convulsions, the ashtray fell off. The worm then extended a pair of bloody wings, preparing to fly away—but Captain Lin blasted it with the fire extinguisher!
The worm was killed.
However, as it died, it let out a series of pitiful shrieks.
After the shrieks, the middle-aged man suddenly clutched his stomach in intense pain and frantically asked where the restroom was…
Officer Li quickly led the man to the restroom.
But before they even reached the door, the man let out a “plop” sound and defecated in his pants…
Everyone felt deeply disgusted.
Looking down at the floor again, along the path the man had run, many wriggling white worms were rolling about. The sight was too much for those with weak stomachs—they immediately covered their mouths, ran off, and began dry-heaving.
Shui Miao and Wang Yong also quickly stepped outside—not because of the worms, but because the stench was unbearable.
The middle-aged man had actually defecated out many worms!
Was this still even human?
Everyone’s skin crawled, and no one wanted to clean up such a mess.
Helplessly, Captain Lin had to turn on a blowtorch and burn everything away.
Outside the Public Security Bureau, the evening glow of the sunset reflected on everyone’s faces. Even so, it couldn’t hide the pale expressions on their faces.
Chu Miaoyi vomited the most violently—just thinking about it made her want to throw up again.
Lin Xue and Shui Miao were slightly better off, but even Wang Yong vomited badly.
As for the other dozen or so officers, they were no better—they were vomiting uncontrollably too.
How strange! Onlookers were greatly intrigued. What kind of wind was blowing today that caused a whole line of police officers to vomit together? Could it be that they had overeaten at a government-funded meal and gotten stomachaches?
※※※
Half an hour later, the Public Security Bureau was finally cleaned up.
However, the middle-aged man had already been sent to the hospital.
Could someone full of worms still be detained at the police station?
The man had become very weak. Upon examination at the hospital, holy cow—he was practically a human worm! His entire abdomen was filled with worm eggs!
That night, the doctors had a tough time.
Everything from stomach pumping, enemas, anti-inflammatory and deworming medication, intravenous drips for parasite removal—these treatments made the man even weaker.
It wasn’t until past 11 PM that a group of doctors finally came out of the patient’s room, all grimacing as if they had swallowed worms themselves.
Shui Miao wasn’t sleepy anyway, and when he and several officers entered the room, what a sight it was—the middle-aged man had completely changed appearance. His hair and eyebrows had been shaved off, his entire body coated in medicine, wearing only a large pair of underwear covering his lower body while the rest was completely bare. The hospital bed was special too—there was a toilet directly under his butt, allowing immediate flushing after defecation. IV drips were inserted into both arms, working simultaneously from both sides.
When the middle-aged man saw everyone walk in, his lips slightly twitched, and he weakly said, “Thank you.”
He actually said “thank you”?
This simple phrase left everyone stunned!
Since this guy entered the Public Security Bureau, this was the first time he had spoken like a human.
However, Lin Xue didn’t take his thanks seriously and merely sneered, “You really should thank Shui Miao properly. All the hospital expenses were paid by him. You messed with his ancestral grave, with such malicious intentions, willing to do anything for money—you’re rotten to the core. And you’re narrow-minded too, even trying to kill Shui Miao. If I were him, I wouldn’t waste money treating you.”
“Lin Jie, please stop,” Shui Miao felt a bit embarrassed. “It’s not a big deal, really. I just helped a little. I believe he was just blinded by greed.”
Actually, Shui Miao hadn’t spent that much money—less than ten thousand yuan.
Moreover, Shui Miao wanted to use this opportunity to reconcile with the middle-aged man, to prevent him from harming his family in the future.
“Thank you! Thank you so much!”
The middle-aged man looked at Shui Miao with great emotion, his eyes gradually moistening. “Shui Miao, you’re the first good person I’ve ever met in my life. Because of your kindness, I’m willing to confess…”
It was unexpected—everyone was greatly surprised.
This guy, moved by gratitude, actually agreed to cooperate.
Chu Miaoyi quickly found a chair to sit down and took out paper and pen to record the statement.
Shui Miao smiled slightly at the middle-aged man. “Uncle, go ahead. Confess who’s behind all this, and you can redeem yourself.”
“Hehe…”
The door to the interrogation room suddenly swung open. Captain Lin burst in with a group of police officers—some holding chairs, others carrying flower pots, while Captain Lin himself wielded a fire extinguisher. The scene looked as though they were preparing for an all-out battle.
The bloody object appeared to be a worm as thick as a thumb and about two fingers long, resembling a silkworm. It crawled toward the middle-aged man lying on the floor…
Seeing the worm, the man was startled and quickly scrambled backward.
“Could it be a gu worm?”
Shuǐ Miǎo’s heart raced as he shouted, “Quick, cover it with something!”
No sooner had he spoken than the worm, as if understanding human language, raised the front part of its body and emitted a faint hissing sound toward the man. Under its spell, the man seemed entranced, dumbly leaning toward the worm with his mouth open… Seizing the opportunity, the worm suddenly picked up speed and scurried toward him.
“Whoosh!”
Lín Xuě suddenly threw the pen in her hand, piercing the worm’s body.
No joke—Lín Xuě was a martial arts champion, skilled in all forms of combat.
The middle-aged man snapped back to reality and hurriedly retreated again. Seeing this, Chǔ Miàoyí quickly took out her keys and unlocked the man’s handcuffs, while a male officer brought an ashtray and covered the worm with it. However, the worm, impaled by the pen, struggled several times until the ashtray fell off. It then unfurled a pair of bloody wings and was about to take flight when Captain Lin doused it fiercely with the fire extinguisher!
The worm was killed.
But as it died, it let out a series of piercing, miserable cries.
After hearing these cries, the middle-aged man clutched his stomach in severe pain and urgently asked where the restroom was…
Officer Xiǎo Lǐ quickly escorted him to the toilet.
But before they could even reach the door, the man suddenly soiled his pants with a loud splatter…
Everyone was disgusted.
Looking at the floor where the man had passed, many squirming white worms wriggled and tumbled, causing those with weak stomachs to cover their mouths, gag, and flee.
Shuǐ Miǎo and Wáng Yǒng also quickly stepped back—not because the worms were nauseating, but because the smell was unbearably foul.
The middle-aged man had actually excreted a large number of worms!
What the hell, was he even human?
Everyone was covered in goosebumps, and no one wanted to clean up such a mess.
Left with no choice, Captain Lin activated a flamethrower and torched the area furiously.
Outside the police station, the evening glow of dusk cast its light on everyone’s faces, yet it couldn’t conceal their pale complexions.
Chǔ Miàoyí was vomiting the most violently… The mere thought made her retch…
Lín Xuě and Shuǐ Miǎo were relatively fine, but Wáng Yǒng was also vomiting severely!
As for the other dozen or so officers, needless to say, they were all throwing up miserably.
The onlookers were utterly baffled by the bizarre scene. What kind of day was it that had an entire line of police officers vomiting in unison? Could it be that they had all succumbed to food poisoning from an extravagant, publicly-funded feast?
※※※
Half an hour later, the police station was finally cleaned up.
However, the middle-aged man had been sent to the hospital.
With a stomach full of worms, how could they keep such a person detained at the station?
The man had become extremely weak. Upon examination at the hospital—good grief—the guy was practically a worm-man! His belly was filled with worm eggs!
That night, the doctors had their hands full.
Gastric lavage, enemas, anti-inflammatory and deworming medications, IV drips for parasite expulsion—the whole ordeal left the man even weaker.
It wasn’t until past 11 p.m. that a large group of doctors finally emerged from the ward, each grimacing as if they’d swallowed a bunch of worms themselves.
Not feeling sleepy, Shuǐ Miǎo entered the ward with a few officers. Well, the middle-aged man looked completely different now—his hair and eyebrows shaved off, his body coated in medication, wearing nothing but large shorts. Even the hospital bed was unusual, with a toilet directly below for immediate use, and an IV drip in each arm, working simultaneously.
Seeing everyone enter, the man weakly moved his lips and uttered a faint “thank you.”
He actually said thank you?
Those words left everyone stunned!
Since this guy had been brought to the station, this was the first time he’d said something decent.
However, Lín Xuě didn’t take his gratitude seriously. Instead, she curled her lip and said, “You should be thanking Shuǐ Miǎo. He’s the one who paid all your hospital bills. You messed with his family’s ancestral grave with malicious intent—for money, you’d do anything. You’re rotten to the core, and narrow-minded too, even trying to harm Shuǐ Miǎo. If I were him, I wouldn’t waste money helping you get treatment.”
” Sis Lin, please don’t say that. ‘Human nature is inherently good.’ It’s not that big of a deal. I’m just helping where I can. I believe he was merely blinded by money for a moment.”
Shuǐ Miǎo felt somewhat embarrassed. Actually, it hadn’t cost much—less than ten thousand yuan.
Moreover, Shuǐ Miǎo wanted to use this opportunity to reconcile with the man and prevent him from targeting his family in the future.
“Thank you… thank you!” The middle-aged man looked at Shuǐ Miǎo with emotion, his eyes gradually moistening. “Shuǐ Miǎo, you’re the first good person I’ve met in my life. For your kindness, I’m willing to confess…”

Chǔ Miàoyí quickly found a stool, sat down, and prepared to take his statement.
Shuǐ Miǎo smiled gently at the man. “Uncle, speak up. If you reveal the mastermind, you’ll have redeemed yourself.”
“Heh…” The man waved his hand lightly. “Actually, I’m not that old. It’s just that life in the mountains has been tough on me, so I appear much older. In reality, I’m only twenty-six. My name is Lóng Xíngyún. I was hired by a man named Hé Nán. The evil insect array at the Yao family’s ancestral grave was my doing… Heh, little brother Shuǐ Miǎo, you thought you broke that array, but you didn’t truly succeed. I came after you because you killed the flying centipede I painstakingly bred, not because you dismantled the array.”
“What? I… I don’t quite understand. Did you set up some kind of array there?”
Shuǐ Miǎo was confused—he hadn’t noticed any array at all.
“Heh…” Long Xingyun smiled faintly once more. “My grandfather was a gold-medal feng shui master from the Sichuan Tianfu School. I inherited his true teachings. With just a slight adjustment, I can create a feng shui array. With a tiny manipulation, I can dismantle even the most impeccable feng shui layout. Setting up a malevolent array is a piece of cake for me. If you don’t believe me, go back and examine those graves. The soil in that area has turned completely black, saturated with intense negative energy. Even if they relocate the graves, the malevolent energy will pursue them relentlessly, haunting their descendants until every last one of them perishes.”
The door to the interrogation room suddenly swung open. Captain Lin burst in with a group of police officers—some holding chairs, others carrying flower pots, while Captain Lin himself wielded a fire extinguisher. The scene looked as though they were preparing for an all-out battle.

Everyone was covered in goosebumps, and no one wanted to clean up such a mess.
Reluctantly, Captain Lin had to use a flamethrower, spraying wildly until the area was sanitized.
Outside the police station, the evening glow of dusk cast a soft light on everyone’s faces, yet it couldn’t hide their pale complexions.
Chu Miaoyi vomited the most… just the thought of it made her sick…

With a stomach full of worms, how could he remain detained at the station?
The man had become extremely weak. After examination at the hospital, it was shocking—he was practically a “worm man”! His stomach was filled with worm eggs!
That night, the doctors were overwhelmed.
Gastric lavage, enemas, anti-inflammatory and deworming medications, IV drips for parasite expulsion—the procedures left the middle-aged man even weaker.
It wasn’t until past 11 p.m. that a large group of doctors emerged from the ward, all grimacing as if they had swallowed countless worms themselves.
Shui Miao, who wasn’t feeling sleepy, entered the ward with a few officers. To their surprise, the middle-aged man looked completely different—his hair and eyebrows had been shaved off, and his body was coated in medication. Except for a pair of shorts covering his lower body, he was completely exposed. The hospital bed was specially designed with a toilet underneath for immediate flushing, and IV drips were attached to both arms, working simultaneously.

You messed with his family’s ancestral grave with malicious intent—you’d do anything for money. You’re rotten to the core, and you even tried to harm Shui Miao. If I were him, I wouldn’t waste money helping someone like you.”
“Sister Lin, please don’t say that. People are inherently good—it’s not that big of a deal. I’m just doing what I can to help. I believe he was merely blinded by greed.”
Shui Miao felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, it hadn’t cost much—less than ten thousand yuan.
Moreover, Shui Miao wanted to use this opportunity to reconcile with the middle-aged man and prevent him from targeting his family in the future.
“Thank you… thank you!” The middle-aged man looked at Shui Miao with emotion, his eyes gradually welling up. “Shui Miao, you’re the first kind person I’ve ever met. For your kindness, I’m willing to confess…”
Surprise—everyone was taken aback.
Moved by Shui Miao’s compassion, the man was finally willing to cooperate.
Chu Miaoyi quickly found a chair, sat down, and prepared to take notes.
Shui Miao smiled gently at the middle-aged man. “Uncle, speak up. If you reveal the mastermind, you’ll have a chance to redeem yourself.”
“Heh…” The man waved his hand lightly. “I’m not that old. Life in the mountains has been harsh, making me look aged. In truth, I’m only twenty-six. My name is Long Xingyun. I was hired by a man named He Nan. The evil worm array at the Yao family’s ancestral grave was my doing… Heh, little brother Shui Miao, you thought you broke that array, but you didn’t. I came after you because you killed the flying centipede I painstakingly cultivated, not because you destroyed the array.”
“What? I… I don’t quite understand. What array are you talking about? I didn’t see any array there.”
Shui Miao was utterly perplexed—he hadn’t detected any trace of an array formation whatsoever.
“Heh…” Long Xingyun smiled faintly once more. “My grandfather was a golden-level feng shui master from the Tianfu Sect in Sichuan. I inherited his skills. With just a slight adjustment, I can create a feng shui array. With a tiny manipulation, I can dismantle even the most impeccable feng shui layout. Setting up a malevolent array is a trivial task for me. If you don’t believe me, go back and examine those graves. The soil there has turned completely black, saturated with intense negative energy. Even if they relocate the graves, the negative energy will follow them, relentlessly haunting their descendants until every last one of them perishes.”

Shui Miao and Wang Yong also retreated hastily—not because of the worms, but because the stench was unbearable.

“Lin Jie, please don’t say anymore. ‘Human nature is good at birth.’ It’s not that big of a deal. I’m just helping out where I can. I believe he was merely blinded by money for a moment.”

My name is Long Xingyun. I was hired by a man named He Nan. The evil insect array at the Yao family’s ancestral grave was set up by me… Heh, little brother Shui Miao, you thought you broke that array, but you didn’t really succeed. I came after you because you killed the flying centipede I painstakingly cultivated, not because you broke the array.”
“What? I… I don’t quite understand. Did you set up some kind of array there?” Shui Miao was confused—he hadn’t noticed any array at all.
“Heh…” Long Xingyun smiled faintly once more. “My grandfather was a renowned gold-medal feng shui master from the Tianfu Sect in Sichuan. I inherited his true teachings. With just a slight adjustment, I can complete a feng shui array. With a minor manipulation, I can dismantle even the most impeccable feng shui layout. Setting up a malevolent array is a piece of cake for me. If you don’t believe me, go back and examine those graves. The soil in that area is entirely black, saturated with malignant energy. Even if they relocate the graves, the malignant energy will pursue them relentlessly, haunting their descendants until every last one of them perishes.”
