I held back my laughter and admitted my mistake humbly. âYes, master. I was wrong. Then, master, can you tell me what kind of illness this person has? Is there any way to save him?â
Lin Huaâs face turned red. âNonsense!â
Mr. Li shook his head, and he said to me, âCanât you tell? He was unknowingly poisoned by someone, and the culprit is an expert. The poison hasnât been in his body for long, but itâs very effective. It makes him more obedient to the personâs orders.â
This caused us to be shocked.
I hurriedly ran over and looked at Lin Huaâs face. âReally? Was he poisoned by voodoo as I was?â
Mr. Li quickly replied, âThatâs right. The worms raised by the Phoenix Blood are so powerful. A normal person would be powerless against them.â
I nodded and sighed. âThatâs true. Using voodoo is the easiest way to bend someone to their will. I wonder if the Lin family has all been poisoned or only this fool.â
âYouâre the fool! All of you are fools! None of you even has the bit of an altruistic heart!â Lin Hua was furious.
I was really too shocked!
I rolled up my sleeves and circled around Lin Hua. Since brother Jin was controlling him, he was unable to struggle loose.
âMaster, since heâs already here, why donât we use him to raise more voodoo worms? We can give him to Tong Yan to use as an experiment. What do you think?â I asked Mr. Li with a serious expression.
Mr. Li had a troubled expression. âIs that a good idea? Heâs the young master of the Lin family after all.â
Shock and fear flashed through Lin Huaâs eyes.
âWeâre doing this because heâs the Lin Familyâs young master. Didnât you hear Doctor Lin? Each of us should have the readiness to sacrifice ourselves to save the world. If I donât give them the Phoenix Blood, Iâm the worldâs biggest sinner. So Iâm sure heâll be glad to be our experiment too. But we need a reasonable front to do this. How about we raise the worms in his body because the worms will help with the research on Phoenix Blood?â
Mr. Li rolled his eyes. âThe better reason is that we want to examine the worms currently inside his body. We are trying to save him. Isnât that the moral thing to do?â
I smiled and nodded. âYes!â
I looked at Lin Hua. Lin Huaâs eyes were already red. I knew that it was because the worm felt threatened.
âMaster, what should we do? It seems that the Worm is smarter than him and has eavesdropped on our conversation.â
Mr. Li sneered. âWhat else can it do anyway?â
The silver needle in his hand flashed and pierced into a few vital acupoints on Lin Huaâs head.
Lin Hua immediately stopped moving. Her eyes were blank, and her expression was dull.
Mr. Li waved his hand to summon Gao Da. Gao Da came, holding a tray. âYou must catch it quickly, understand?â
I said, âIâll do it, Iâll do it!â
Mr. Li glared at me. âShoo. Iâm afraid youâll be so scared that youâll throw the worm on the ground.â
I obliged. I had seen the ugly worm before. I might really drop it in disgust.
People like Gao Da and Gao Jing, whose hearts were made of stainless steel, were very suitable to do such terrifying things.
I suddenly stopped Mr. Li. âSay, what if Dr. Lin doesnât think that heâs sick? Should we still save him?â
Mr. Li sighed. âWe should. Human life is always important.â
