The Charismatic Charlie Wade – Chapter 2882

Mr. Mai looked at Mike and explained, "You think things like Gu worms are some unseen and unscientific force? Their existence is grounded in science!"

With that said, Mr. Mai further explained, "Gu worms feed on human brains, and they must be fresh brains at that. Naturally that means the host has just died, and although the host’s brain was eaten by Gu worms, the entire central nervous system, as well as the body's more basic functions won’t immediately lose its vitality. Just like how brain-dead people often have a heartbeat and blood circulation."

"The reason why Gu worms are magical is that after eating the brain, they can temporarily take control of the human central nervous system and then perform simple manipulations of the human body."

"It's like the security guard just now. He is controlled by a Gu worm; it’s how he is able to walk. However, because the host is dead and his muscles are constantly rigid, his actions are relatively stiff."

"As you saw, the host was able to walk, open a door, and wave his arm. However, he was unable to speak, mainly because the Gu worms control is pretty simplistic under the guidance of the Gu keeper’s mind.”
