Chapter 239: Insect King, the Truth
Chapter 239: Insect King, the truth.
In the classroom, except Lin Mo, the other three were all there.
But they all looked dejected, completely lacking the momentum they had just now.
“Oh, you won?”
The first time He Zhongming saw Lin Mo, he immediately smiled, his tone full of surprise.
But Lin Mo did not see any changes in his face.
This old fox should have guessed the result before the sparring began.
Lin Mo thought to himself, nodded calmly, and then glanced at the three fighting group members.
He immediately realized that it seemed that in the sparring with the projection of the recommended student, he was the only one who won in the end.
Sure enough, He Zhongming’s actions soon confirmed Lin Mo’s guess.
He Zhongming cleared his throat as usual and said in a deep voice: “Well, very good, except for Lin Mo, the three of you lost the first sparring match.”
“I had anticipated this result in advance.”
“You guys don’t need to be discouraged, because the ones you just practiced with are all very strong recommended students.”
“First, it’s Zhou Wenlong. The projection that’s fighting you is called Wang Fan.”
“When he was a student, his nickname was “The Invincible King”. He was a martial arts card master and the previous owner of the Pojun talent.”
After He Zhongming finished speaking, Lin Mo didn’t react much, but the other three were all shocked.
Zhou Wenlong stretched out his arms and looked at He Zhongming in disbelief.
As a card master specializing in fighting styles, he had heard of the name “Invincible King” a long time ago.
At the age of sixteen, his fists shook the north and south, and he challenged the four famous martial arts departments in the federation.
In the martial arts circle, he is a well-deserved leader and can be said to be the leader of the younger generation of martial arts masters. Unfortunately.
As the owner of the “Pojun” talent of this generation, Zhou Wenlong did take him as a role model for a period of time, but he was never able to achieve such an achievement.
But how is that possible? If it was “Wang Bubai”, he would be able to recognize him at a glance.
Seeing Zhou Wenlong’s huge reaction, He Zhongming had already guessed his doubts, so he stepped forward and patted Zhou Wenlong on the shoulder, saying in a deep voice: “The so-called projection is just a collection of the corresponding cards and other moves used, and it cannot fully depict the appearance.”
After that, He Zhongming focused his eyes on Xu Chengfei and continued, “The person you are sparring with is called Feng Nian. He is an outstanding card master student from the previous East Province and ranked third in the province. He should be in Jingnan University now. If you can get into Jingnan University, you should be able to meet him.”
After He Zhongming finished speaking, Xu Chengfei nodded vaguely.
Compared to the guy named Feng Nian, he knew the guy named Wang Fan better.
But he couldn’t beat both of them.
When he came to Wu Zekai, He Zhongming said in a deep voice: “Wu Zekai, your opponent is a little special, a little different from the other two.”
“He’s a card maker, with the same talent as Lin Mo.”
Before He Zhongming could continue, Wu Zekai spoke up.
With these words, the remaining two people couldn’t help but focus their attention on Lin Mo.
Even Lin Mo himself was surprised.
“What do you mean, just like me?” Lin Mo muttered to himself, but suddenly a figure flashed in his mind.
“It can’t be.”
An answer was about to emerge in Lin Mo’s mind.
Soon, his answer matched what He Zhongming said.
“You have observed carefully. The other party is a card maker, but he has a talent for fighting.” After saying that, He Zhongming turned to look at Lin Mo and said with a smile: “You should be familiar with this person, right?”
Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled and waved his hand: “I’ve heard of it, but I’m not familiar with it.”
Thinking about Jiang Yu now, Lin Mo felt his scalp tingling.
If it weren’t for the fragment of the transparent card, he would have almost fallen into that secret realm.
“Really.”
He Zhongming smiled happily and said, “It would be great if you could become familiar with Jiang Yu.”
Without looking at Lin Mo anymore, he continued, “Jiang Yu is a very good card-making genius. He just made some mistakes. Perhaps because of the backlash when making the card, he had mental problems and was finally arrested by the law enforcement team and executed on the spot.”
He Zhongming simply said a few words about Jiang Yu’s introduction and did not give any further explanation.
Only Lin Mo knows the reason behind this.
After all, every incident at the Blue Sea Manor is extremely bad in nature.
So, what Lin Mo didn’t expect was that the official alliance actually included Jiang Yu’s projection.
Logically speaking, people like Jiang Yu who have been executed by the law should be directly expelled from the alliance, and all related matters will also be expelled.
“Principal He.” Lin Mo was deep in thought when Wu Zekai beside him suddenly spoke.
“Hmm?” He Zhongming calmed himself down and looked at Wu Zekai curiously.
Wu Zekai glanced at Lin Mo and turned to continue, “Principal He, I want to know if there are many card makers like Lin Mo.”
In response to Wu Zekai’s question, He Zhongming pondered for a moment and shook his head, “No, card makers like Lin Mo only account for a very small number.”
As he spoke, He Zhongming gestured with his hands and pinched two fingers together.
Hearing this, Wu Zekai’s expression eased slightly.
He now has an inexplicable psychological shadow towards card makers.
Whether it was Lin Mo or today’s Jiang Yu projection, it made him doubt his life.
After introducing the projection of the three people fighting, He Zhongming focused all his attention on Lin Mo and said, “Lin Mo, you are indeed a little beyond my expectations.”
Seeing He Zhongming say this, Lin Mo also responded with a smile: “Principal He, the projection you arranged is indeed strong. It took me a lot of effort to win it.”
After saying that, he continued, “So whose projection is that of mine?”
“Luo Nian, the first in the Federation in the Youth Card Making Competition a few years ago, special card series: Dragon King series.”
He Zhongming spoke softly, but he did not notice that Wu Zekai’s mouth was twitching slightly.
Except for Lin Mo, the other two had different expressions on their faces.
If they just said Luo Nian, they might not know who he was.
But when it comes to the word “Dragon Emperor”, it can be said that every card master knows it.
Compared to the reactions of the others, Lin Mo seemed much calmer.
After all, this was not the first time he had seen the three words “Dragon Emperor Lineage”.
He currently has only one question, which is whether this number one in the federation is a little too weak.
Admittedly, Lin Mo spent some effort to deal with him.
But if the level of being the best in the federation is just like this, then does it mean that his current strength is enough to be considered the best in the federation of the new generation?
The most important thing is Luo Nian and Luo Fu.
Are these two really brothers?
As soon as the word “Dragon Emperor” came out, the four people’s thoughts were in a mess.
Seeing this, He Zhongming shook his head helplessly, clapped his hands twice, and drew his attention back.
“Now you all know who you just practiced with, so adjust your mindset and continue tomorrow.” “As for Lin Mo, don’t get cocky all of a sudden.”
“I have added a lot of restrictions to the projections of today’s battle, so starting tomorrow, you will challenge Luo Nian, who has removed the restrictions.”
After that, He Zhongming suddenly paused, and his tiger eyes swept over the four people. He laughed and said, “Your task these days is to fight openly and defeat these projections.”
“Of course, if you defeat one of the projections, you can try the other one. Don’t be afraid of not being able to defeat it. The headquarters has collected many projections like this.”
After saying this, He Zhongming looked at Lin Mo meaningfully.
Obviously, the last sentence was addressed to Lin Mo.
The opportunity to fight against these talented card masters who were once famous in the Federation is rare in a century.
Lin Mo naturally had to seize this opportunity.
As I was thinking, the bell for the end of get out of class suddenly rang. I raised my hand and glanced at the watch on my wrist.
He Zhongming waved his hand and announced the end of get out of class.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo instinctively prepared to take off and leave. Bai Xinqiao was still in the infirmary, so he had to go and see her.
Just as he turned around, he was interrupted by He Zhongming’s heavy breathing.
“Lin Mo stays here, Xu Chengfei waits outside.”
The sound reached the ears of four people, and except for Lin Mo, the remaining three immediately walked out.
“Principal, is there anything else?” Lin Mo said in a deep voice.
Lin Mo was not panicked because he had anticipated that the other party would call him.
“How do you deal with the matter of the evil god Ka Ling?”
Without further ado, He Zhongming went straight to the point.
“Find the source, clean it up, collect it, and then clarify it afterwards.”
Lin Mo had thought about this matter for a long time, so when He Zhongming asked him the question, he almost blurted it out.
The seemingly unreliable principal in front of him came from the Jingnan District and had his own information channels and connections. In addition, the scope of this incident was not small.
So it is normal for the other party to know these things.
“Haha, your seven card spirits are not easy to deal with.”
He Zhongming suddenly shook his head and smiled faintly: “In addition to dealing with those card spirits, you also have to explain clearly to the law enforcement team.”
As he spoke, He Zhongming lightly tapped his finger, and a photo card flew out from his fingertips and landed in front of Lin Mo.
A huge light screen appeared and projected the picture.
“This is a temporary picture extracted through surveillance. It records something similar to an altar, and…”
He Zhongming didn’t continue speaking, nor did he need to.
Because the picture clearly shows that around the altar-like area, countless outlines are vaguely visible and reveal human figures.
Lin Mo was very familiar with this kind of thing. Those vague human outlines were souls. Through the light curtain, Lin Mo could see them clearly.
And on the other side of that outline were bodies one after another.
Those bodies had dull eyes, stiff bodies, and bulging veins on their skin, looking extremely hideous.
The most important thing is that from the neck to the chest of each body, there is a worm crawling with its limbs constantly moving.
“What is that?” Lin Mo asked in a deep voice.
The altar is used to sacrifice souls, and those bodies that have been drained of their souls are nothing but empty shells.
What puzzled Lin Mo was that there were such ugly and terrifying bugs crawling on each empty shell.
The bug looks like a centipede, but is much larger and gray-black in color.
You can even see yellowish, unknown liquid on the limbs.
“That is a kind of insect, the snake-like insect.” He Zhongming said in a deep voice.
The Zerg are just one of the alien races.
“Why let me watch this?” Lin Mo frowned slightly.
He originally thought that He Zhongming would let him see the traces of those evil gods Ka Ling.
As Lin Mo’s voice fell, the light curtain dissipated, and the image lasted only a few minutes.
“These winding insects have the aura of those out-of-control card spirits.”
After He Zhongming put away the video card, he patiently explained: “After learning the details of those evil god card spirits, I, Vice President Lu, and Professor Liu surrounded and killed those card spirits together.”
“The siege was unsuccessful. The evil god card spirits are extremely intelligent and seem to have a card skill similar to reincarnation. They sacrifice their own quality and level to attach themselves to other life forms and reincarnate.”
Hearing this, Lin Mo couldn’t help but frown.
The reincarnation card technique is such a perverted and troublesome skill, it seems like something he would create.
“But during this siege, we found a corpse. This corpse contained both the Evil God’s Source Power and the Crooked Snake Insect King.”
He Zhongming obviously didn’t notice the subtle change in Lin Mo’s expression, but continued: “The serpentine insect king can grow rapidly through continuous molting. They survive by parasitizing and controlling other life forms.”
“Is there any necessary connection between the two?”
Lin Mo still didn’t quite understand. It was even the first time he heard the name “Quyan Gu Chong Huang”. This thing had never appeared in the book before.
“That corpse is most likely the one who came back from the future. He is the one who stole your card and used it. His body is controlled by the Insect King.”
Hearing Lin Mo’s question, He Zhongming pondered for a moment and said.
After he finished speaking, he immediately added: “This is Professor Liu Fuchen’s speculation, and he asked me to tell you.”
“So what you mean is that the trouble we need to solve now is not just about those card spirits, but also about that insect king?”
Lin Mo said in a deep voice that the situation was getting worse and worse.
He had been racking his brains a few days ago thinking about how to deal with those evil gods Ka Ling, but now he was suddenly told that he not only needed to deal with those Ka Ling, but also had to deal with the damn bug king.
“Relax, silly boy.”
He Zhongming patted Lin Mo’s shoulder and said, “What you just said is what we are going to do. All you have to do is help us a little.”
Hearing this, Lin Mo looked at He Zhongming in confusion.
There are three special card masters, each of them is a big boss, and if there is anything, he will be needed for help.
“You tell me.”
“Clean up the remaining evil god source power on the corpse. We need to examine the corpse and then compare it to determine who he is, but…”
As He Zhongming was speaking, he was suddenly speechless.
“Any questions?”
“This is a very risky matter. While clearing away the remaining source of energy, you are very likely to be infected with the deadly poison from the remains.”
