Chapter 510: 509
Gui Xiao swallowed hard, “He said his na is Zhang Qiang, and he could help get what I wanted.”
“Get it out of the museum?”
“He said as long as the money is paid, he could also ship it overseas for free.”
“Do you know him? Why do you know he practices Gu Skill?”
Gui Xiao sighed and said, “Boss, you’re not familiar with this area. A lot of the situations here are not as simple as outsiders think.”
Seeing his expression, Ye Tian looked back at Chu Tianying, who was also looking clueless, “I go where the money is, and I’m even more of an outsider here. Gui Xiao, tell us what’s really going on here?”
Gui Xiao seated himself on a chair, poured a cup of water for himself, and after calming his mind, he began to explain the complex situation in the Nepal region to Ye Tian and the others. Only after Gui Xiao finished did Ye Tian realize that his own planning was far too crude.
It turns out that although Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal, the economic conditions here are similar to other areas, also divided between rich and poor. In the affluent areas, there are clusters of skyscrapers and villas, but there are also slums with sewage flowing through the streets, where people live in tents made out of cardboard boxes, standing in the rain when it pours because they have nowhere to seek shelter. They scavenge food from the garbage bins, and everyone draws water directly from the river, leading to the breeding of various bacteria and the spread of diseases, making the lives of the slum dwellers even more dire.
The poorer the area, the easier it is for cri and unhealthy social systems to take root.
Religion and Gu Poison spread under such circumstances, and over ti, through a process of natural selection, what remained was the Gu Poison sect from Thailand.
Nepal is a small country and the developnt of a small country has always been a difficult problem. You either have to be like Japan, work hard through reforms and innovation, relying on technology and economy to surpass others, or be like Israel in the Middle East, developing your own strong fist. Once your fist is harder than others’, no one dares to bully you. In the present global situation, Israel’s military equipnt is second only to the United States, and even Pakistan, which is many tis larger than Nepal, doesn’t dare to provoke it lightly. Under these two models, one should at least not live too difficultly. Unfortunately, due to the historical partition of India and Pakistan, Nepal was not granted greater political freedom and democratic rights. Even now, it is still under the influence of other countries, otherwise a foreigner would not beco the Minister of Comrce. Against the backdrop of political turmoil, various agents of chaos from different nations take the opportunity to infiltrate. Using the guise of dical aid, Thais skilled in Gu Poison have co to the impoverished areas of Nepal, and they soon got cholera under control. But all this was actually laying the foundation for their future developnt.
“Later on, people found out that they were using live humans in Nepal for their own experints, which include cultivating their Gu Poison and witchcraft. Afterward, the Nepal National Security Bureau got involved with this issue and sternly reproached and expelled them from the country. However,” Gui Xiao shook his head, “many magicians skilled in Witchcraft still secretly remain here. Although they no longer experint on live humans like before, rumors claim that many of the major cholera outbreaks in the past decade were man-made, very likely by these Thais.”
Ye Tian listened, and his mood couldn’t calm down for a long ti. This guy, why does it sound like sothing out of a blockbuster movie?
“Do you suspect you’ve been controlled by Gu?” asked Ye Tian.
Without hesitation, Gui Xiao said, “In the whole of Nepal, only they know how to control Gu, and they’ve also been fiercely competing for turf lately. They say that the King of Witchcraft will co into the world this year, so they need to offer the strongest sacrifice to the King.”
Heh, it’s getting livelier.
Ye Tian thought for a mont; it seed that Tang San must also be a person from the Witchcraft Sect, otherwise he wouldn’t practice Gu Poisoning on him. What did they want the Ghost Seal for?
“Are you sure people from the Witchcraft Sect haven’t shared the technique of Gu Poisoning with outsiders?”
“This is a matter between sects, they would never reveal their own sect’s secret techniques. Big Brother, please first cure the Gu Poison in my body. I know you can definitely do it.”
Ye Tian laughed, “How do you know I can do it? Your flattery skills are not all that great!”
Gui Xiao’s voice carried a whining tone; he had once personally witnessed how miserably those inflicted with Gu t their deaths, their bodies rotting, their mouths and noses ulcerated, even their teeth turning black, pus dripping from their mouths, their bellies filled with various poisonous insects, and even worse, so had maggots and scorpions crawling out from their mouths. The most horrifying thing was that even through all this, the person was not yet fully dead, only being slowly bitten to death by the insects.
He would rather smash his own head and die, a car accident would be more rciful than being tornted to death like that.
Seeing his tragic expression, Chu Tianying could not bear to watch and said with a smile, “You little rascal, don’t worry, your Big Brother has already cured you of the poison.”
Just now, Ye Tian had casually slapped Gui Xiao’s shoulder, injecting his Spiritual Power into Gui Xiao’s body, and had completely suppressed the Gu Poison inside him.
“Stretch out your hand.”
Gui Xiao, still in shock and not having recovered, was still standing there dumbfounded when he was suddenly grabbed by Ye Tian, who firmly grasped his right arm, then placed two fingers on his shoulder. His fingers exerted force suddenly, and with a sharp downward motion along Gui Xiao’s arm, a red pustule the size of a soybean swelled up at his wrist, apparently containing a writhing, struggling creature inside.
“This, this is the Gu!”
Gui Xiao’s face showed an extre expression of fear, and he was shaking his arm constantly, but he was firmly grasped by Ye Tian, unable to move even slightly.
“Don’t move, increasing the speed of your blood flow will only cause you to lose more blood, it’s not worth it.”
“Will I die?” Gui Xiao stopped moving, ceased struggling, but his face was pale and his voice trembled, fearing he might die here.
“It’s possible, or it might not be. Because I haven’t tried it before.”
Gui Xiao went silent, focusing on calming his breathing and steadying his heart, when he suddenly heard a “puchi” sound, a streak of red light flashed before his eyes, then landed on the ground.
That streak of red light ca from his own wrist.
“Crush it.”
Seeing that Gui Xiao was motionless, Ye Tian pointed at his feet, “It’s under your foot.”
Gui Xiao ca to his senses, slowly looked down, and there under his own foot, a small red bug was struggling hard, its writhing path heading straight for his foot.
