Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

Xu Qianqian felt relieved when she heard that. The smell of a rotting animal meant it wasn't human. If it was a human corpse, then their vacation would be ruined.

Li Fumei took out two sickles and started cutting the weeds. Soon she had cut out a path, and after passing through it, the stench became more pronounced.

Xu Qianqian covered her nose with one hand: "This smell is indeed rotten. The environment here is really terrible."

"Well, Sister Xu, that big brother used to be very powerful."

"Yes, his name is Fang He. He was once a renowned provincial champion and was also very outstanding in college. He was admitted to a top-tier hospital during his internship and was promoted to director shortly after starting work."

"In short, he was someone else's child from childhood to adulthood. I just didn't expect that a surgery would completely ruin his career, and he later disappeared."

Xu Qianqian couldn't help but sigh, "The public opinion was quite strong before, and many people wanted to find him. I didn't expect him to be in this small clinic, and he doesn't look mentally normal either."

While the two were talking, they arrived at the place, stood at the edge of the pit and looked down into the pit. There were corpses of various animals thrown randomly in it, and many of them were highly rotten.

The stench came from here. Li Fumei looked at it expressionlessly and took out her cell phone to take pictures of several places.

"Sister Xu, look at this. What are these wire-like things?"

"I don't know. Maybe they were hung up with wire. Why are there so many rabbits, wolves, and dogs here? Could that person be raising them?"

Li Fumei felt dizzy from the smell, so she took out a bottle of water from her lucky bag, unscrewed it and started to wet her handkerchief so that she would feel better when covering her nose with it.

The water flowed into the pit, and the thing that looked like a piece of wire moved and twisted slightly, like a living thing.

Covering her face with the wet handkerchief, Li Fumei casually glanced at the bottom of the pit, paused, and frowned slightly: "It seems... a little different."

Xu Qianqian asked in confusion: "Fumei, what are you talking about that is different?"

Li Fumei took out the photo, took another photo from that angle, and took a video for comparison. She found something wrong and pointed at the screen.

"Look, Sister Xu, these wires seem to be alive. Their positions just now are different from their current positions, and their shapes are also different. What the hell are these things?"

"I'll take a picture and search online."

Xu Qianqian stared at the searched information with her eyes wide open, her hands shaking. Then she looked at the photos on Li Fumei's phone and felt a chill in her heart: "No, this is not right."

"Fumei, look at the information I found. It says this thing is called a wireworm. It's a parasitic worm, usually a parasitic insect."

"In the early stages, the insects are manipulated to eat and drink frantically. In the later stages, after the eggs become insects, the host is manipulated to dive into the water. The adult insects will then emerge from the body into the water, lay eggs, and wait for the next host."

"But this doesn't seem right. I've never seen it parasitize mammals, only insects. Could it be a mutation here? Otherwise, what's going on with these rabbits, wolves, and dogs?"

Her intuition told her that there was a serious problem here.

I took out my cell phone and called.

"Captain, please come here quickly. We found something very strange. Come and take a look."

[Okay, we'll go right over there.]

Soon everyone gathered around the pit, looking at it with frowns on their faces. “What the hell is this? It’s disgusting! Fumei, the wire in that video you took seems to be moving.”

Xu Qianqian explained softly: "No, that's not wire at all, it's a parasite called wireworm..."

After hearing her words, everyone inexplicably thought of the strangeness of the resort. Those tourists seemed to have had this symptom before, eating and drinking like crazy but still not feeling full.

"Captain, something big seems to have happened."

"Why do the symptoms of those tourists seem so much like parasitic infections? Isn't it said that mammals don't have parasites? So what's going on here?"

Xing Fei frowned. "We don't understand parasites. We need someone special to take a look. I've sent the photos and videos to the professor. He's done a lot of research on parasites, so he should understand."

As we were talking, the phone rang urgently.

[Hello, Professor Chen, do you need me for something?]

[Yes, if what I speculate is true, then it will be a big deal. These animal carcasses are infected. If the source of infection cannot be found, people will also be infected if they touch them.]

I don't know what caused them to mutate, but from the video you sent me, the nematodes here are indeed mutated. From now on, you must be careful about what you eat and drink.

This parasite usually lives through eggs, wounds, and the nose. This means if you're outdoors, don't drink raw water, and don't go into the water if you have wounds.

Xing Fei's heart tightened when he heard this. None of them went into the water, so they didn't show any symptoms. Then those who already had symptoms in the resort had they been infected by the parasite?

"Professor, is there a specific cure? Some people are already showing symptoms and are frantically eating and drinking water. I'm starting to suspect the source of the infection."

【But the most important thing now is deworming treatment. 】

【…】

There was a long silence on the other end of the line, and the professor sighed softly: "No, there's no specific medicine at the moment. Even if we want to do research, we need samples. Please give me the address."

I'll have someone bring back samples immediately. It's a mutated thing now, and we don't know how long its growth cycle is. I'm worried that people will die one after another before a vaccine is developed.

"This pit looks like it was deliberately dug. Whoever dug it might know something. Go find that person and bring him back for interrogation."
