Global Evolution: I Super Double Up on my evolution-Chapter 383 - 190: Long Time No See, Old Acquaintance!_2
I let my guard down! Su Yan cursed himself inwardly.
He then stepped into the bathroom to see if he could find anything. After a quick look around, Su Yan’s gaze ultimately landed on the mirror stuck to the wall. Unfortunately, despite staring at the mirror for quite some time and poking it with his finger, he found nothing amiss. Just then, a scream suddenly emanated from the room where the village chief’s son was lying.
"Ah! No!"
The scream sounded like it was from the village chief’s wife. Su Yan hurried to the room when he heard it. What he saw upon entering was the village chief’s son, eyes rolled back and lifeless, with the village chief’s wife crying bitterly over him. Soon after, Sister Zhou and the middle-aged man from outside also rushed into the room, one after the other. Both had clearly also heard the scream just now and wore anxious expressions.
"What happened?" The person who spoke was the middle-aged man, who had hurried over from outside after hearing the scream.
Between sobs, the village chief’s wife said, "Xiao Wen... he’s dead."
"Dead?" The middle-aged man’s breathing grew rapid as he immediately went forward to check his son lying on the bed. His pupils were dilated, his mouth agape; he wasn’t breathing. This was just like the other young men in the village who had died in the past year, all from sudden heart attacks.
"How tragic..." Upon seeing this scene, Sister Zhou couldn’t help but sigh softly. Deep in her heart, she felt the unpredictability of life. If she wasn’t mistaken, the village chief’s family likely only had this one son, and he had died without marrying or leaving any offspring. This is truly... Even their old-age support is a problem now. So tragic.
Su Yan, on the other hand, wasn’t as sentimental as Sister Zhou; he simply watched the village chief’s dead son on the bed in silence. Perhaps it was an illusion, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that the state of the dead village chief’s son on the bed reminded him of how he himself used to be drained. The body looked very feeble, and his Essence, Spirit, and such seemed severely depleted. Especially the dilated pupils; it looked as if his soul was gone.
Hmm? What was that? Suddenly, Su Yan noticed a small black bead on the village chief’s son’s chest. The bead was tiny, about the size of a grain of rice, with very faint Yin Energy swirling around it. If one didn’t look closely, it would be easy to miss with the naked eye. Moreover, this bead was located exactly on the left side of the village chief’s son’s chest—where most people’s hearts are. The location of the heart... That’s highly suspicious, to say the least.
With this in mind, Su Yan used his spiritual power to retrieve the black bead from the village chief’s son’s chest. The next moment, an item notification popped up from deep within his mind:
[Ju Yang Pill]: A curse tool refined by the Charm Clan in Ancient Times, mainly used to absorb the Yang Energy of living creatures.
Looking at the item information that popped up in his mind, Su Yan raised an eyebrow. Hmm, the Charm Clan? An Ancient Times cellphone? Probably... It must be some creature similar to a Succubus. As he thought this, several new notification messages popped up deep within his mind:
[Ju Yang Pill detected]
[Do you choose to Devour?]
[Option 1]: Yes
[Option 2]: No
[Devouring will significantly increase Yang Energy]
Su Yan complained inwardly, Enough already, System. You really can Devour anything. He wouldn’t dare randomly Devour something containing another man’s Yang Energy. Take it back for Jiu Li to Devour? Forget it; he had plenty of his own Yang Energy. If he were to Devour any, it would be his own. Otherwise, it would feel too awkward. With that thought, Su Yan put the Ju Yang Pill into his System Backpack, planning to sell it at a merchant’s shop later for money. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Just then, the middle-aged man in the room suddenly yelled, "Cry, cry, cry! All you do is cry every day! What use are you to me?!" His son’s death had already made him extremely frustrated, and his wife’s ceaseless wailing made him lose his patience, so he shouted at her loudly.
Perhaps it was because her son was dead and she felt she had nothing left to lose; upon hearing her husband yell at her, the village chief’s wife retorted, "I’m crying over my son’s death! What does that have to do with you, you beast?!"
Seeing his wife dare to defy him, the middle-aged man—the village chief—exploded with rage. His face contorted as he yelled, "You wench, you dare yell at me? I’ll break your other leg!" As he spoke, he casually picked up a chair, intending to smash it on his wife’s leg.
However, just as he lifted the chair above his head, an immense Creature Pressure suddenly bore down on him. Immediately after, with a loud THUD, the middle-aged man, who had looked fierce and belligerent just a moment before, was slammed face-first onto the floor. He was pinned so forcefully that his face was nearly deformed.
The village chief’s wife hadn’t expected such a turn of events. Startled by the dramatic scene before her, she immediately stopped crying.
Su Yan asked the village chief’s wife, "Ma’am, I get the feeling that the relationship between men and women in this village isn’t quite equal. Could there be some unspeakable secrets here?" Although he already had a good guess, he still wanted to ask the person involved.
The village chief’s wife took a deep breath and then said, "Many of the women in this village, including myself, were trafficked here. The young woman from the house opposite, who was screaming just a moment ago, was trafficked here last month."
