The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Carvalho looked at Mason and explained, "You might think that things such as parasitic worms seem to be untraceable and are very unscientific, but in truth, it is actually very scientific."

As he spoke, Carvalho then explained further, "A parasitic worm feeds on the human brain. Moreover, it needs to be a fresh human brain. This also means that the person must have just died not too long ago. Although the human brain has been devoured by the parasitic worm and has lost the entire central control nervous system, the person's bodily functions do not lose their vitality immediately. It is just like how a brain-dead person would often still have a heartbeat and blood circulation." 4

"The reason why a parasitic worm is so magical is because after it feeds on the human brain, it can temporarily take over the human's central nervous system and perform a simple manipulation and control of the human's body."

"For instance, the security guard just now could walk all the way here because he is under the control and manipulation of a parasitic worm. However, since he is already dead, his muscles are constantly stiffening, and that is the reason why his movements look very stiff." 4

"You can see that he can only perform basic movements such as walking, opening the door, and waving, but he cannot speak. This is mainly because the parasitic worm does not have a very deep manipulation over him. So, he can only be driven to perform very basic actions that are driven by its breeder's thoughts."

Mason looked at the security guard's back carefully before he hurriedly asked again, "Great-grandpa, can the parasitic worm control this corpse continuously?" 2

"Of course not." Carvalho said seriously, "First of all, the corpse will gradually stiffen and decay. Also, after the parasitic worm devours this person's entire brain, it will be able to survive for only one month at most even if it were to immediately enter a dormant state. It will starve to death if it does not eat again within a month."

Mason exclaimed, "If it must feed again within a month, doesn't that mean that the parasitic worm will have to kill one person every month?"
