Wu Youren had been planning this for several days, after all, Chen Quanxu's abilities and reputation were well-known.
Red Pine and the others may not know, but the City Guard Bureau is another matter entirely. If word gets to the Hall of Extraordinary Masters, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
In the past few days, everyone has gradually accepted that Little Ha has "loss of appetite," and he has found more than one live animal to feed him.
Upon hearing Manna's words, he hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the little field mouse and entered the room where the infected were being held.
Then he casually closed the door. During the two days of testing, everyone was quite concerned about their privacy.
This time, the person being housed was a robust woman in her early forties, who was also Knight Apprentice.
After she was captured, she was beaten unconscious most of the time, except during mealtimes, and the beatings were quite severe.
But that's normal. Being infected by the Parasitic Weird, even Great Knight Apprentice knight.
Wu Youren has really made a move this time.
I tried using a jade Weird-Repelling Jue first. It seemed to cause almost no damage, but the opponent struggled fiercely.
Then he put away the Weird-Repelling Jue and touched the other person's skin with his inner energy.
Well, that was just as bad; the unconscious Knight Apprentice suddenly sprang to his feet, almost jumping up.
It's fortunate that their hands and feet were tied, otherwise who knows how much trouble they would have caused.
Wu Youren waited a while and realized that this was only for a short time, but someone outside couldn't help but pay attention.
It probably wasn't intentional; it was purely out of subconscious curiosity.
After a while, he noticed that everyone had quieted down, so he changed to another part of his body and touched it with his inner energy.
Just like Daiqisi did that day, she used a thin stick, about the thickness of a chopstick, to probe different positions of the other person.
As a result, the middle-aged woman suddenly jumped again.
This time, the reaction outside was much smaller – everyone finally realized the importance of protecting their privacy.
Wu Youren waited another seven or eight minutes, and just as he was about to reach out to touch it for the third time, the little field mouse spoke.
Why not continue to input internal energy?
"You finally spoke," the boy breathed a sigh of relief. He wouldn't proactively ask Chen Quanxu was safe; that was entirely up to the other party.
He himself wouldn't believe there wasn't some special arrangement made near the City Guard Bureau's camp.
Although this small courtyard is independent and private, and the deputy director has vouched for it, it is where the host of the Parasitic Weird is imprisoned!
In this situation, he should fully trust the other party's judgment rather than act on his own initiative; professional matters should be left to professionals.
"Your internal energy is quite effective at suppressing Parasitic Weird," the little field mouse's words proved that it had been observing them for some time.
"If you persist, it's possible to expel it from the human body."
Wu Youren asked softly, "How long will that take?"
"I don't know, you'll have to try it yourself. It should get harder towards the end—this level should take at least ten days."
"I might as well work myself to death," the boy scoffed. He still had several Ironwood Bite- Weird-Repelling Jue tasks lined up in his queue.
Actually, these past few days, experience points have been pouring in continuously, so improving the quality of the Weird-Repelling Jue isn't too difficult.
But there's really no way to increase production, otherwise the consequences—there's no need to pad the word count here.
The boy simply asked, "Aren't you going to give it a try?"
"I'm analyzing it," the field mouse replied in a soft voice, "But this experiment—the conditions aren't right!"
Early the next morning, Keluoge received a request that left him speechless. "Ten death row inmates are needed?"
"I'm going to die sooner or later anyway," Manna replied matter-of-factly. "To get rid of the Parasitic Weird, I need to find a vessel, right?"
"Directly remove it from the body? We'd like to, but isn't that not possible for the time being?"
"Alright," Keluoge hesitated for a moment, but actually agreed; after all, the death row inmates had no right to object.
Logically speaking, Liang also has Inspectorate. Although the lives of death row inmates are not worth much, it's not like they'd just wholesale out ten at a time.
But he also had his own considerations: what if it actually works out?
If he could solve the problem of the Parasitic Weird, countless people would beg him for help. What's a few death row inmates' lives compared to that?
If it doesn't work out, there won't be any major consequences. At worst, I can just spend some money to settle the matter.
With this understanding, he felt that the second request was not so difficult to accept.
"You want to catch another one for a rejection test? No problem, I've heard about the characteristics of the Parasitic Weird too."
"I have only one stance—you'll have to catch the people yourselves. I'm just responsible for covering it up. You're not lacking in methods either, right?"
"As long as you can catch three or five, don't rush to hand them over to the main camp!"
After saying that, he vaguely felt something was amiss: Had I given the other party too much authority?
But really, it doesn't matter. In this life, when it's time to gamble, you should take a chance.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and four infected people have been detained in the small courtyard, while three of the ten death row inmates have died.
That day, Hong Yan arrived at the courtyard. "Stop making a fuss! The Great Liang Martial Academy has asked why Red Pine arrested people in Tianjing!"
The third infected person was captured by the Eight Knight two kilometers away from the Great Liang Martial Academy.
At that time, a team from the Liang Academy was on patrol not far away.
No Martial Academy will interfere in matters outside the academy, as that would be beyond the Martial Academy's authority.
However, the high-ranking Martial Academy are somewhat special, and recently—the situation is not good.
Think about the area under the jurisdiction of the recent Red Pine; how many kilometers beyond the Martial Academy does it extend?
Liang Academy is located right next to the bustling city of Tianjing, so even if they are distracted by precautions, they can't possibly manage things too far away.
But two kilometers is easily within reach, so why bother with any talk of a defense zone?
The Liang Academy group discovered the fight and chased after them to inquire, but the City Guard Bureau's motorcycles sped away without paying any attention.
This isn't really a big deal; it's perfectly normal for either of them to disagree.
However, Liang Academy also had people in the City Guard Bureau, and with a casual inquiry, the blind student discovered the key point.
This matter, following the trail, directly reached the point between Chief Instructor Hong and the two major Martial Academy; this was the more formal communication between them.
Hong Da had no choice but to come and ask.
In fact, she maintained contact with Keluoge, Manna, and others, and was aware of the general course of events.
Previously, she felt the situation was under control and naturally wouldn't interfere—how could a Knight's growth not involve trials and tribulations?
However, Liang Academy's inquiries gave her a bad feeling.
There was no reason, she wasn't even sure where the problem might lie; it was purely the Great Knight's intuition.
When the Chief Instructor Hong spoke, the people from Red Pine naturally dared not offer any explanation.
But when Keluoge heard this news, he couldn't hold back and came to confront Hong Yan.
No one knows what the two talked about, but in the end, Hong Da gave in.
She said that what you are going to do next is due to the insistence of the deputy director, and has little to do with me.
But Keluoge, with a dark expression, said: I can take responsibility for the matter, but the people doing the work are all from Red Pine. It's your turn to step in!
Hong Yan, you can actually benefit from this!
Instructor Hong admitted responsibility, but returned to Red Pine that same day after discussing the matter.
She left just in time; early the next morning, the City Guard General Bureau sent someone—a Great Knight from the Great Liang Martial Academy.
He wanted to find out what the people from Red Pine were doing, especially how the one they had taken from next to the Liang Academy was doing now.
The General Administration has higher authority than the local departments, but Keluoge is a deputy director with real power, so he has some confidence.
The conversation between the two was quite unpleasant, and the person who came eventually said that if they caught an infected person, they must hand them over to the General Administration.
Keluoge's response was. "Perhaps it involves Fallen Ability User. You've overstepped your bounds by interfering in this case!"
The visitor then earnestly told him, " Old Ke, I have absolutely no grudge against you."
"This is related to the Liang Academy's reputation, but there's another point—your City Guard Bureau must not become a haven for Parasitic Weird."
These words directly address certain sensitive issues, things that you shouldn't ponder in private.
Regardless of your initial intentions, it's not allowed according to the procedures!
Keluoge was taken aback at first, but after a few seconds, he actually laughed.
The other party was indeed right; this was a point he had overlooked. The fact that Liang Academy was alerted meant that the level of secrecy was somewhat lacking.
If superiors make a fuss about this, the consequences could be severe, and they might even end up being unfairly blamed.
However, what he was most worried about was not knowing the other party's intentions. Now that he knew, things were much easier.
He stated bluntly, "The situation is getting increasingly serious. If the General Administration can allocate more supplies, we will strengthen our cooperation."
"The General Administration doesn't even have enough supplies for its own needs," the visitor refused without hesitation.
" The Tianjing Bureau already has abundant supplies, but do you know how pitiful the situation is in the lower regions?"
Keluoge completely rejected this excuse. "Then we'll just have to figure it out ourselves, right?"
The newcomer's expression hardened. "Find your own way, but that doesn't mean you have to do anything outrageous."
"We must live," Keluoge said, drawing his dagger and slowly trimming his nails.
"If the normal procedures aren't working, we can't just be left to die!"
Even if you discover that we're researching Parasitic Weird, so what?
If we can't get supplies, are we not allowed to figure out ways to defend ourselves?
This is a typical contradiction between the central government and local authorities, and it exists not only in the city garrison system.
Those above want to control everything, while those below are saying: We want to live, and if you won't give us that, we'll find our own way.
The visitor was speechless; this conflict was truly beyond his ability to resolve, and he could only leave dejectedly.
Keluoge took the fall for such a huge bomb, so he definitely needs to tell the people at Red Pine: Senior, I really did my best.
But he soon realized that the adventure was worthwhile.
Three days later, a Parasitic Weird was successfully transferred from an infected person to a death row inmate.
This was the last of the ten death row inmates, and thankfully it was successful; otherwise, it would have been much more difficult to apply for another death row inmate.
The female archer, Bingma, completed the operation, and her eyes turned blood red once more.
