Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 76 - 75: Parasitic Monster
Chapter 76: Chapter 75: Parasitic Monster
Honestly, Yuchi always thought that monsters were quite distant from him, and even if he encountered one, he would be able to recognize it.
It’s like a visible enemy; these enemies are right in front of us, not hiding.
And yet suddenly, these ghostly monsters appeared—are they truly monsters?
They seem more like ghosts!
Yuan Wansong looked at the white rat and continued, "These monsters are quite troublesome. They specifically target innocent civilians."
"Let me give you a crude example."
"If the president happens to be wandering outside and gets targeted by such a monster, it will secretly follow you."
"When it finally gets the chance, it will bite through your chest and crawl inside."
"Then you will completely lose your humanity!"
"As the wound on your chest heals, it will quickly integrate into your daily life and replace your role."
"They’re not exactly smart, but it might take some time before anyone notices."
"And during this period, it will bring its partners into Xufu Town."
"They will specifically target your loved ones, spreading the monster epidemic one by one."
After speaking, Yuan Wansong shrugged.
What the hell?
Are they so ruthless? This monster epidemic doesn’t just take your life—it’s a complete replacement!
Yuchi couldn’t believe the pain of being taken over by such things. "So these people are beyond saving?"
"There’s no saving them," Yuan Wansong said. "We’ve made countless efforts, but their brains have been eaten away."
"No saving them."
Yuan Wansong looked at the big white rat in the cage. The rat, intimidated by Yuan Wansong, curled up in the corner, not daring to move.
It knew it was going to die, and its human-like eyes looked at Yuchi, pleading for a quick end.
Yuchi felt no pity—only disgust!
Yuan Wansong was satisfied with Yuchi’s expression toward the monster; this was the right attitude.
He turned and said, "President, do you believe that the monsters inside these hundreds of villagers are from the same family?"
Yuchi was stunned, "You mean these hundred people were all parasitized by the first monster?"
Yuan Wansong replied, "Yes, just as I mentioned before, this is how disgusting such matters are."
How? Is this asexual reproduction, or once in, forever benefited?
"So why did they run?"
Yuchi avoided the rat’s human eyes.
He couldn’t understand, "If they walk the streets, I wouldn’t notice anything amiss."
"They could easily hide in Xufu Town, so why flee?"
"Isn’t this suicide?"
"Since they can burrow into people’s bodies, they can’t be that brainless, right?"
"Of course they are," Yuan Wansong said. "It’s just the nature of these monsters."
"Nature?" Yuchi didn’t understand.
"Yes," Yuan Wansong continued, "Let me tell you a story?"
"Sure." Yuchi was helpless.
Another rainy day story, maybe?
Yuan Wansong began, "Imagine a city with a population of one hundred thousand."
"The city is huge, and the whole Demon-slaying Bureau was mobilized, with nearly ten thousand members deployed."
"We sealed off the city and gave all citizens three days."
"If you’re sure you’re human, come out through the gate."
"In those three days, only a few dozen people emerged from the city."
"Finally, a Golden Core Realm expert from our department arrived!"
"He cast magic and exterminated all monsters in the city."
"Then, President, if you were to enter the city now, you’d find that the ground is covered with dead rat monsters."
"Following our investigation, these rat monsters were all spawned from a single rat, sharing the same source."

One hundred thousand lives lost?
Yuchi broke out in cold sweat and then asked a heartfelt question, "So how were they discovered?!"
Yes, how were they discovered?
Logic suggests that the entire city’s residents had been replaced!
So how could they be easily identified?
"It’s simple."
"During our Demon-slaying Bureau’s routine patrols,"
"We noticed an eerie calm throughout the city."
"Although the city seemed crowded, there weren’t nearly as many sounds of people."
"Everyone was as silent as ghosts, something no normal human would do."
Yuan Wansong shook his head, "In the end, monsters are still monsters."
"After replacing the citizens, they didn’t dare flaunt it."
"So in places with many monsters, it’s eerily quiet despite the number of people!"
"Except for some cunning monsters, regular white rats and foxes can’t control human speech."
Yuchi began to understand.
Yuan Wansong continued his explanation.
"Unusual events often hide monsters."
"I doubt these hundred people dared to stay longer in Xufu Town."
"They also didn’t dare to keep spreading, consuming the town’s inhabitants endlessly."
"Otherwise, increasing numbers would lead to abnormal reactions, and the Defense Department isn’t just for show!"
Yuan Wansong glanced meaningfully at Xun Xian.
Xun Xian, "?"
"Haha, the Defense Department would notice such abnormalities and report to us in the Demon-slaying Bureau."
"If our Bureau arrived, those monsters would undoubtedly be annihilated."
Yuan Wansong paused his speech.
Looking at Yuchi, his eyes clearly conveyed a message.
Young man, I know your mind is full of questions—just ask them, there’s no shame in that.
Yuchi also didn’t feel embarrassed.
"But they have nowhere to escape?"
"For those hundred or so people, did they really think they could get away?"
Yuchi asked, puzzled.
Given the circumstances, these monsters had no real cultivation—they only knew how to parasitize.
So how could they escape in human bodies?
This isn’t a werewolf explosion? A werewolf could take a couple down with them—what about them?
Once exposed, they’re as good as dead!
This doesn’t make logical sense.
"Why couldn’t they?"
"What’s illogical about that?"
Yuan Wansong looked at Yuchi, puzzled, "You don’t think catching a small batch means a complete eradication?"
Yuchi was left confused.
Finally, Xun Xian spoke, looking at Yuchi with seriousness, "This time, it’s due to the Guild."
"Originally, the place known as Hechong Village wasn’t under the Wei Family’s jurisdiction. It was a Bai Family transit point."
"But because of the Guild, this transit point became shared."
"If not for the Guild, would the Bai Family dare to investigate missing a transit point?"
"Not everyone has the support of me and the Celestial Capital Department."
"Would their so-called Guest Ministers risk such danger?"
"No, no, no, they wouldn’t."
"So because of the Guild, they were caught. Otherwise, they might have hidden successfully this time."
"After the storm passed, they could live again as ordinary civilians."
Yuan Wansong noticed that the girl spoke with hidden meaning, "At least without the Guild, we caught them."
"Right?"
The message was clear.
Don’t blame the Demon-slaying Bureau; we can’t guarantee capturing all the monsters.
But for now, we did catch them!
