Chapter 93: Gu Poison

Xu Xiang looked at the little thing moving in her stomach, and asked, "Have you found out what it is?"

Countless small screens appeared on one of the screens, and Lun Hui said, "The thing in your body is something that has already gone extinct in our world. It is called Gu poison, and it existed in ancient times."

Xu Xiang tapped slowly on the glass table and frowned. After a moment of silence, she said, "Gu poison... Is this a kind of slow-acting poison?"

"This is not a slow-acting poison, but a poison that controls people’s minds. The black thing in your stomach is actually a bug called Gu poison. The victim will become a puppet when the Gu master controls the Gu poison. If the victim tries to refuse the order from the Gu master, the victim will suffer unimaginable torture. After the poisoning effect is activated, most of the victims will choose to end their lives." Lun Hui explained while showing the data on another screen.

Listening to Lun Hui’s explanation, Xu Xiang sneered. She looked at Lun Hui and asked, "Is there any way to get rid of the Gu poison inside my body?"

Lun Hui looked at her and said, "With our current technology, this is an easy task. We just have to catch the Gu poison from your blood vessels. It’s just a simple procedure. Do you want to remove the Gu poison now?"

Xu Xiang thought for a while and asked, "If the Gu poison on my body is removed, can you keep this Gu poison alive?"

Strings of data appeared on the main screen after she asked. After a few seconds, Lun Hui said, "Yes."

As soon as Xu Xiang heard his answer, Lun Hui saw her expression change. He looked at her calmly as her face became expressionless in a split second.

"Detoxify the Gu poison for me." Xu Xiang walked towards the operating table while talking.

Seeing that Xu Xiang had already taken off her clothes, Lun Hui said, "Yes, Master."

Xu Xiang lay naked on the operating table and said, "Start the surgery."

After she said that, the robotic arms were activated, and after injecting her with anesthesia, the surgery began. When Xu Xiang opened her eyes, only ten minutes had passed. She stood up and checked her body.

She didn’t see any scars or marks from the surgery just now. After getting off the operating table, she put on her clothes and said, "Where is the Gu poison?"

The main screen in the center of the room lit up, and Lun Hui’s face appeared on the screen. He looked at Xu Xiang and said, "The Gu poison is in the test tube."

Xu Xiang walked to a metal shelf in the corner of the room and looked at the tiny bugs floating in the middle of the liquid on a glass tube. She squinted her eyes at the test tube for a while, then looked at Lun Hui and asked, "Is this really the Gu poison? It’s just a tiny spider."

Lun Hui looked at her disbelieving expression, and said, "Yes. Gu poison can have countless forms, even human beings. However, what is certain is that every kind of poisonous animal can be cultivated into Gu poison. Unfortunately, the knowledge about how to cultivate Gu poison has been lost since ancient times."

She nodded and looked carefully at the tiny spider in the test tube. A few seconds later, Lun Hui asked, "What do you want this Gu poison for?"

Xu Xiang thought for a while and said, "Do some tests on it first. Remember, keep it alive."

"Yes, Master." Following Lun Hui’s answer, the test tube buzzed, and the testing of the Gu poison began.

Counting the time, Xu Xiang said, "I will leave the rest to you. I need to manage the supplies now."

Seeing her leave, Lun Hui said, "Yes, Master."

After leaving the laboratory building, Xu Xiang worked until her head hurt a little before she came out of the space. Back in the tent, she glanced at the bed, and saw Nalan Tuya was still fast asleep. She got up and walked to the temporary bed that Nalan Tuya prepared for her when she went out.

She checked the bed and found nothing suspicious after a while. Lying on the simple bed, Xu Xiang closed her eyes and fell asleep. This time, she didn’t sleep so deeply, because she knew that she couldn’t trust anyone here.

The next day, Xu Xiang woke up before dawn. She instinctively looked towards the bed, only to see that Nalan Tuya was still sleeping. Feeling a slight headache, she frowned.

She stood up from the bed, slightly opened the door curtain, and found that it was still dark outside. She glanced at Nalan Tuya, then went into her own space to take a shower and have breakfast. For her own safety, she decided not to eat food given by Nalan Tuya or strangers.

Xu Xiang took a quick shower, had a simple breakfast, and came out of her space again. The whole operation took less than a minute to complete. Standing beside Nalan Tuya’s bed, she looked at Nalan Tuya’s peaceful sleeping face, and thought for a while.

After a brief silence, the corners of her lips curled up. She took out a small glass vial filled with lavender liquid.

’Since you like playing with poison, then I will let you play to your heart’s content.’

Opening the lid of the glass vial, Xu Xiang dropped a drop of lavender liquid on Nalan Tuya’s cheek. When the lavender liquid touched Nalan Tuya’s skin, it disappeared and Nalan Tuya’s skin slowly turned red. Xu Xiang watched the poison take effect, put the small glass vial back into her space, and walked out of the tent.

Looking at the starry sky, she smiles slightly and walks towards Ha Tai’s tent. She still needs to check on him daily to make sure he doesn’t die from organ failure or complications. When she walked a distance, Nalan Tuya’s painful screams sounded in the silent camp.

Xu Xiang sighed, and thought: ’It’s just red and swollen skin, but she screamed like she was about to die. It seems she is not as strong as I thought.’
