Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

"It's nothing, actually. It was too crowded, so we didn't go down. It has something to do with this illness. I'm from the Criminal Investigation Team. Just speak frankly."

After reviewing the officer's ID, the doctor explained everything: "Yes, we've found that all the patients with symptoms had gone swimming in that mountain stream and experienced thirst and hunger after returning."

"And it's getting worse every day. If you haven't been in the water, that would explain why you haven't been infected. Mutated insect eggs have been detected in the mountain stream."

"Generally speaking, this type of eggs only infects insects, especially mantises. It is very rare to find them in humans. We compared them and found that they are mutated."

Li Wenhao's expression was somewhat serious. "Is this mutation natural or man-made? Is there any way to cure it?"

The doctor looked at him silently and shook his head slightly.

There is currently no specific medicine, and even research will take time. However, the growth cycle of parasites does not wait for anyone, and once they reach the mature stage, there will be no specific medicine.

The consequences are unbearable to imagine. Now we can only search for the people and isolate them in a centralized location. As for the specific medicine, we have to wait for it.

Li Wenhao walked out with heavy steps. After the others came out one after another, they walked towards the B&B, closed the door, and sat on the sofa, looking at each other.

"If you have any clues, let's exchange them and see if we can find anything."

After half an hour.

Li Wenhao scratched his head, feeling a little worried. "The doctor said this time the infection is caused by mutant insect eggs. They have a very short growth cycle. Once their time is up, they will... drain all the moisture from the host."

"They will also control the host's behavior, making them frantically search for water. Locking everyone up now will only delay the disease. By the time the time comes, there won't be any medicine available."

"If those people go crazy, the moment they find the water source, the countdown to their death will begin."

Gao Ming said seriously, "Since it's a worm, we can't just remove it with surgery. We can take anthelmintic medicine."

"No, the parasites are very cunning and alive. It is almost impossible to remove them surgically, unless there is a specific medicine that can kill them directly and then slowly excrete them."

"I need to talk to the captain about this and see if there are any clues at the clinic over there. I always feel like there's something wrong with the pit at the clinic. Those animal carcasses have obviously been there for a while."

Li Wenhao waited for him to finish before adding, "According to the information collected by the doctors, summer tourists arrive in batches. The previous batch was normal, but this batch has problems."

"Comparing the time, it's very likely someone deliberately planted insect eggs in the mountain stream. Those things are invisible and intangible, and people who enter the water may be infected."

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat solemn. We could expect them to solve the case, but it was impossible to expect them to deal with the parasites. However, it was not a good idea to just stay there. We had to go out and look for clues.

Gao Ming stood up and said, "I want to go to the mountain stream and take a look. Maybe I can find some clues there. Do you want to go?"

"Well, let's go together. Tell the captain before you go."

Li Wenhao took out his phone and called, but there was no response. He checked and saw that the signal was indeed blocked. Thinking of the possible adverse effects, it was not surprising that the signal was blocked.

"What happened to Wenhao?"

"The signal is blocked, and we can't contact the captain. Anyone with a satellite phone, please call the captain and tell him about the situation here. Otherwise, we'll be isolated and unable to get out after we return."

"Now that we know something's wrong with the clinic, how can we investigate if we don't go out? It's better for the captain to stay outside for the time being."

They were sure that they would not be infected if they had not gone into the water. As for how much of the water in the resort was infected, they were not too sure. It would be more dangerous for the captain and his team to come back and isolate themselves.

Li Fumei held out her hand. "My watch should have some signal, but even if it doesn't, it's okay. I can use the communication talisman. Brother Li, please sort out what you want to tell the captain."
