"It's an emergency. No need to care about that. We can damage the surveillance cameras later. Tell me, which floor." Leng Xiaoyao interrupted. She cared more about Li Mochen's health. Maybe nobody had seen them and spread the news. Most importantly, they were both hackers, so it should be easy for them to damage the surveillance cameras.

Hearing that, Li Mochen stopped hesitating. "19th floor."

Leng Xiaoyao directly pressed the 19th floor button.

There were a total of 26 floors, so they arrived at the 19th floor very quickly. No one came up in the middle, so they didn't meet anyone else before they entered Li Mochen's room.

Li Mochen was still uncomfortable. He felt as if thousands of ants were biting him. It was extremely itchy and painful. He could barely tolerate it.

His mind was in a mess, so he would soon lose control to release the pain.

Fortunately Leng Xiaoyao had put magical power into his body, so he didn't lose control of himself within several minutes.

Although his body was still painful and itchy and he couldn't really think clearly, the attack of the illness was only half as serious as before. Therefore, he was still clear-headed.

Li Mochen understood that it was the effect of the coldness that Leng Xiaoyao put into his body.

Even if he knew Leng Xiaoyao would help him, he was still surprised when he really experienced it.

However, Leng Xiaoyao was worried, because she figured out the reason why Li Mochen had an attack of the illness.

It actually wasn't an illness, it was poisonous magic.

When she put magical power into Li Mochen's body, she examined it as well, so she found the poisonous worm in his body.

She wasn't sure yet because she needed more details of his symptoms.

"Brother Mochen, how do you feel now?" asked Leng Xiaoyao.

"I lost control of myself after five minutes when I had a relapse of the illness previously, but now I feel much less pain. Thank you," Li Mochen said sincerely.

"My pleasure," Leng Xiaoyao replied.

However, her magical power could temporarily help Li Mochen relieve the pain, but it couldn't last long. The poisonous magic would kill him after a long time.

Therefore, if he wanted to make a full recovery, the poisonous worm must be removed from his body.

It wasn't easy, and was extremely dangerous. Leng Xiaoyao couldn't take action until she had 90% confidence.

She wondered whether the poisonous worm was a child-mother worm, or a single worm.

If it was a child-mother worm, the person who set the worm must have a mother worm in his hands to control the child worm in Li Mochen's body. Once the child worm was removed, the controller would know.

However, if the controller put the mother worm in Li Mochen's mother, his life would be in great danger.

As a result, if they decided to remove it, they must succeed at a time. They couldn't allow the mother worm to take the next step.

If it was a single worm, it would be much easier. There was no threat from the other person and they could try several times. Only his body would suffer more.

"How long will it take every time you have a relapse of the illness?" asked Leng Xiaoyao.

"An hour," Li Mochen said.

Although it only lasted for an hour, it was excruciating.

Afterwards, he would be extremely exhausted and wouldn't feel energetic again until he had slept for a whole night.

"Brother Mochen, do you know why it happens? If you don't want to tell me the reason, you can say you know or don't know," Leng Xiaoyao said. Before Li Mochen was willing to tell her the details, she wouldn't ask further about it.

Anyway, she could figure it out by herself and do her best to remove the poisonous worm.

"I don't know," Li Mochen said honestly.

Leng Xiaoyao believed his answer, but since Li Mochen didn't know, Leng Xiaoyao decided to tell him straightforwardly. She didn't think Li Mochen would hurt her and she needed to let him know the truth.

After all, they hadn't met for long.

"Well, I can tell you why it is happening." Leng Xiaoyao said, "You're affected by poisonous magic. It's a witch-like poison formulated in some mysterious way. Poisonous worms are divided into child-mother worms and single worms. For the child-mother worms, the person who casts the worm can use the mother worm to control the child worm. The mother worm is left in the controller's hands, while the child worm is set in the victim's body. Only the people who raise the worms can control them."

"Single worms are different. Everyone can use them, but they can't control them. The worm will act on its own. The controller can kill child-mother worms by ordering the child worm to hurt itself with the mother worm. If you're mentally strong, you can fight back and won't be controlled, but if you're not, you can end up injured. Single worms are asleep most of the time, but they'll wake up after a while and suck your blood. Once it happens, you'll feel unbearable pain. Single worms aren't as harmful as child-mother worms, but they can also kill a person over time."

Li Mochen was shocked by the secret of poisonous magic, then looked anxious.

He had no idea what happened to his body, so he didn't know whether someone had harmed him or if it was his own problem. Now he realized it wasn't his problem, someone had clearly harmed him.

Who was it? Li Mochen couldn't figure it out.

If he was chased, he might figure out a name, but poisonous magic was so strange that he couldn't think of anyone.
