Under the bright red canopy of the [Gu Family Free Drive-Thru Detox Stall], sixty-eight-year-old Old City Lord Meng lay on the padded wooden bench. Meanwhile, Twenty floating spirit-cameras projected his X-ray scan fifty feet tall across the sky of Worlds #4 and #5.
Up on the tenth-floor balcony across the plaza, Chosen One Dr. Chen Ao watched the giant X-ray screen with a cold, malicious smirk—and secretly pinched his hidden left hand behind his back!
Bzzzzzt!
Through the invisible soul-blood link connecting him to the four-inch black [Blood-Leech Soul-Parasite] inside Old City Lord Meng’s chest, Dr. Chen Ao sent a sharp command:
Bite halfway into his main heart vein right now! Give him so much pain that he begs me for mercy, and if they touch him with any medicine, rip the vein open!
Instantly, on the giant fifty-foot X-ray screen above the plaza, three billion viewers watched in horror. Meanwhile, The fat four-inch black leech inside Old City Lord Meng’s chest bared its ring of needle-teeth and lunged straight toward the thin wall of the old man’s aorta!
“Agh—!” Old City Lord Meng arched his back on the bench, his face turning bluish-purple as the worm’s teeth grazed his heart meridian.
