Back in his villa, Lan Luo spent a few more days intimately with Xia He before receiving a message from Gao Er Zhuang. This girl, filled with dreams for the future and admiration for Lan Luo, was met with a harsh reality when she first arrived at the villa and saw the celebrity Xia He.
Xia He also noticed the girl's unease, as she was used to it, especially recently. Lan Luo's physique had become increasingly abnormal, and the aura he inadvertently exuded also captivated Xia He, making her unable to extricate herself.
Seeing the atmosphere slowly turn a bit strange, Lan Luo interrupted, "Er Zhuang, have you heard of the Dark Fortress?"
"Don't call me Er Zhuang, okay, Boss? I'm an adult now, please call me Gao Yushan." She finished, clasping her hands together in a gesture of entreaty.
Lan Luo felt a bit awkward, as that was her nickname. He cleared his throat and said, "I want to find Chen Duo. She's our next recruitment target."
Hearing this, Gao Er Zhuang was startled: "Boss, why do you always poach Everywhere Connect's employees? They are not to be trifled with. I only managed to get away because of my special status and my dad covering for me, but I still have to provide them with intelligence support, and they also use me to monitor you."
She had now signed a dark contract, so Lan Luo also gained her innate abilities and cultivation methods. Of course, the contract stated that she belonged to Lan Luo spiritually. This was one of Lan Luo's methods, as he would have more and more people to manage in the future, and he couldn't constantly watch everyone. The best way was to change them from the heart.
"Chen Duo was used by the Medicine Immortal Society to refine Gu from infancy, and she became the only survivor among the 49 children used for refinement, becoming the 'Gu Body Saint Child'. After being rescued by the Outlaw Management Department, Everywhere Connect, she was isolated in the Dark Fortress, where she met Chen Junyan, another isolated member, and was named Chen Duo by him. Later, she became a temporary worker in the South China region. But she won't be able to escape the Dark Fortress for long. She's controlled like a prisoner every day, and there's a remotely detonated bomb installed on her neck. They treat her like a dog, giving her all the dirty work and disposing of her whenever she's no longer needed. What crime did she commit?" Lan Luo felt a bit of pity for this little girl.
Women are emotional, and both Xia He and Gao Yushan felt a surge of sympathy when they heard Chen Duo's past, especially knowing that Chen Duo's escape meant death. Even they wanted to save this poor girl.
Gao Yushan said helplessly, "Alright, I'll help you look up Everywhere Connect's internal data. But Boss, please don't make things too obvious, or I'll have trouble explaining, especially since my dad vouched for me."
Lan Luo nodded and promised, "No problem, just leave everything to me."
Ten minutes later, Gao Yushan transmitted the information she found about the Dark Fortress to Lan Luo via brainwaves.
Lan Luo, not planning to act personally, also transmitted the information to Daji. Daji did not disappoint him. Soon after, they met Chen Duo directly in Lan Luo's villa. She had green eyes, long black hair. When she was first rescued from the Medicine Immortal Society, she wore Miao ethnic clothing and headwear. After arriving at the Dark Fortress, to prevent the Gu poison in her body from leaking, she wore a green isolation suit underneath a casual jacket. When she went shopping with the six temporary workers, she wore a white dress and high heels, revealing her arms corroded by the Gu poison, and her hair was no longer tied up but hung naturally.
Without giving Chen Duo too much time to think, he knew what Chen Duo wanted. Lan Luo directly said, "Chen Duo, you have two choices: one, I send you back to the Dark Fortress now to continue your old life. Two, I help you permanently resolve the hidden dangers in your body, and in the future, you will work for me."
This was Chen Duo's first choice in her life, and she had had enough of life in the Dark Fortress: "I choose the second one." Without much hesitation, she chose the second option to help Lan Luo. In her heart, anyone who could give her a choice couldn't be too bad. Everywhere Connect had rescued her before, but they had never treated her as a person, never given her respect.
Lan Luo nodded to Daji beside him. Daji transformed into silver-black metallic liquid and entered Chen Duo's body entirely. Xia He and Gao Yushan, seeing this for the first time, were curious. Xia He spoke up, "Lan Luo, what are you doing to Chen Duo?"
"This is changing her body. Before, the Gu poison in her body was constantly gnawing at Chen Duo. On the surface, Chen Duo seemed expressionless, but in reality, she was being corroded by the Gu poison every moment. Can you imagine that kind of pain?" The first time he saw Chen Duo, he felt a bit of pity for this girl.
Seeing Chen Duo's small and frail body, Lan Luo took out a succubus potion and injected it into Chen Duo's body.
Chen Duo hadn't felt this comfortable in a long time. There was no collar, and her body no longer seemed to be gnawed by Gu worms. As power continuously surged out from within her body, the Gu worms within her also continuously flew out. If it were an ordinary person's body, these Gu worms could easily kill them, and even an Outlaw like Chen Duo could deal with them. But when these Gu worms encountered a body with magic, they had no way to deal with it. Moreover, Chen Duo also gained the ability to elementalize. Biting her was like biting ice or fire, or like biting poison, which would kill off many of these worms. Of course, some with better resistance survived.
Lan Luo then pointed a finger at Chen Duo's head, directly transmitting information to her mind via brainwaves. Those images showed the breeding and cultivation process of some insectoids, including the cultivation of Gu worms that absorb Qi, and the control of enemies by tiny Gu poisons entering their bodies, Gu worms that rapidly grow and explode after absorbing Qi, as well as many offensive, defensive (insect clones), medical (detoxification), and auxiliary (reconnaissance) functions of Gu worms.
When everything returned to normal, several hours had passed. Chen Duo's body had been almost completely gnawed away, and even Daji had spent a lot of time. If she hadn't worried about the Gu worms, she could have recovered immediately. Lan Luo wanted to maintain the existence of the Gu worms while also enhancing Chen Duo's strength, so it was more complicated.
Lan Luo looked at her eyes, which had returned to their black color, and said, "How do you feel?"
"Very good, better than ever before. I've never felt this way. Lan Luo, you are my second friend." Although Chen Duo didn't show much facial expression, everyone around her could feel her happiness.
