Chapter 574 Meatworm
With a blink of an eye, Akseru's office had vanished, and his surroundings had undergone a complete transformation.
The space, radiating purple light, was filled with chaos. Akseru floated in the air as a planktonic organism, sensing everything around him.
Gulu~
A wriggling sound came from above, and Akseru subconsciously looked up and saw a huge purple pupil hovering above his head, giving him an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
Akseru didn't stare for long; instead, he quickly lowered his head and then controlled his body to float forward.
Soon after, he encountered several other people who were also in a planktonic state. They gathered together, and after waiting for a while, several more planktonic creatures drifted over.
There were already more than a dozen planktonic organisms coming and going, all floating in this chaotic space, like jellyfish having a meeting.
However, they might be a group of bad jellyfish.
Since the meeting was initiated by Akseru, he spoke after everyone had almost arrived.
"The Mage Association has discovered a spreading curse. I haven't seen it yet, but if I'm not mistaken, it should be the Corruption Poison we're currently researching."
"As far as I know, the Corruption Poison hasn't even been released into Greentree City yet. Now that it's been discovered, there's only one possibility..."
"Something's happened at the Forest of Titia!"
At this point, Akseru suddenly stopped and looked at one of the planktonic creatures present, but he did not speak, waiting for someone to speak.
"Meatworm, if I remember correctly, that's the area you're in charge of, right?"
A moment later, the planktonic creature whose position was clearly dominant spoke, and the person he was speaking to was the planktonic creature that Akseru was looking at.
His name is Flesh Worm, one of the members of the Evil Eye Cult. He is in charge of cultivating the Corruption Poison in the Forest of Titya. Now that something has gone wrong and the Corruption Poison has been exposed, he is definitely the most suspicious person as he is the closest to Green Tree City.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he panicked and hurriedly said:
“Most of my corpses are kept in enclosures in the abandoned estate of the Doctorman family. They won’t run away without my orders.”
"Is it possible that someone else entered the manor without your knowledge?!"
"me...."
When questioned, the flesh worm didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, he had indeed neglected his management during this period, and the corpses under his command were basically left to roam freely.
If someone really did sneak in, then he truly wouldn't know anything about it...
But... the Dockman family's manor is located in a very remote area, and they've even set up a distraction spell on it. So who just happened to find this place?
That kid who was left outside?
Putting aside whether he can even find it, does he even have the guts?
The worm was completely baffled, but since the incident had already occurred and he was in the wrong, he didn't argue and silently endured the criticism from the crowd.
"Hmph! It's probably a problem on your end. I won't say more."
"The corruption plan is one of the church's major plans, and I don't want anything to go wrong at this time. You all need to be vigilant and make sure you don't give anything away!"
"Especially you, you worm! I don't need you to do anything, you just need to keep an eye on them. If there are rats, deal with them as soon as possible. I don't want you to disappoint me, and the higher-ups won't give you many chances to make mistakes."
"Also, I'll have Akseru confirm their information later. If they've located your position, you must evacuate immediately."
"do you understand!"
"I understand..."
The flesh worm trembled with fear. He knew the methods used above; if he made a mistake, death would be the least of his worries.
"There's another piece of news, I don't know if you know about it, Akseru?"
The meeting organizer abruptly changed the subject, turning his gaze to Akseru, and then announced to him and the others:
"The mud snake is dead."
These words touched the planktonic creatures below the stage. It wasn't because they had a good relationship with the mud snake, but mainly because the mud snake had been lying in wait for a long time without being exposed. The sudden news of its death caught them off guard.
They knew the strength of the Mud Serpent. Ordinary Gold-ranked individuals couldn't do anything to him. Anyone who could capture him would be at least a high-ranking Gold-ranked individual, or even multiple Gold-ranked individuals attacking at the same time.
With such a skilled individual targeting their organization, while it's not hopeless, it's still a very troublesome situation.
"I hope this incident will serve as a warning to you all. In the future, you must inform the organization before taking any action. If you encounter any emergencies, you will not need to disclose the organization's information."
"To be honest, I don't want to see you all again..."
"Alright, that's all for now. Go back and prepare yourselves. I will use a special method to deliver the next steps to each of you."
"Let's adjourn."
After saying this, he was the first to disappear from the chaos, vanishing from everyone's sight.
Seeing this, the group stopped discussing and returned to their own places.
...........
boom! !
"Damn it! How could this happen?!"
Inside Green Park Central, the flesh worm awoke from the consciousness communication. He was furious after being scolded throughout the entire meeting.
Because he didn't dare to lash out at the meeting because of the leaders present, he now went offline and started smashing things around him to vent his anger.
You can tell how angry he is right now!
However, getting angry didn't solve the problem. After venting his anger, the flesh worm gradually calmed down and began to think about how to deal with the problem of the leaking corpse.
The first step is to find the cause of the leak, namely the informant who stole the corpse. Only by finding him and killing him can we prevent him from revealing more information.
Of course, as mentioned earlier, if the Mage Guild and the Green Tree City authorities have already discovered his location, then he will have to consider relocating.
This is a troublesome matter, after all, he has more than one or two rotting corpses under his command, and if the horde of corpses moves, it will be quite troublesome.
But there's nothing we can do about it, since he's already been exposed. The most urgent thing now is to investigate the manor and find out where the problem lies.
Those goblins? Or the skeletons in the graveyard? Or perhaps something I've never seen before?
The worm believed that he had been negligent before, and now that he was searching with all his might, he would surely be able to find the rat soon.
Wait and see.
