“Did you find these people?”
Chen Tai sat in the grand master’s chair, his eyes half-closed.
Wu Meng fanned with a palm leaf beside him, diligently attending to him.
But her gaze toward Su Su, as well as toward the sickly Zhao Zi Ying, held a hint of hostility.
Ba Zi Ge cringed with a flattering smile, carefully presenting the small snake.
He also handed over a small bag of white powder.
“Master, they’re together. Look, this is the stuff they’ve been taking.”
Hey, you kid, you have no eye for detail at all.
Chen Tai didn’t bother to rise, he simply flicked a thread of energy from his fingertip, sending the bag of white powder tumbling to the ground.
This action unexpectedly triggered a response from Zhao Zi Ying.
“Give it back! Give it back!”
If not for two strong men holding her down, she would have already crawled over.
It was at this point that Su Su realized something was wrong.
“You’re lying to me! She doesn’t owe you any money!”
She also struggled violently.
“Let me go!”
She was filled with terror.
In an instant, countless tragic experiences – some she had witnessed, some she hadn’t, some she’d heard about, and some she’d imagined from books – flooded her mind.
Things like “train ride.”
Things like “kidney harvesting.”
Things like “human powder transport.”
Things like “freak shows.”
And so on and so forth.
“Shut up!”
This woman was just too noisy.
So Chen Tai reached out and flicked another thread of energy, striking her mute point.
He then flicked another thread of energy, immobilizing her body, preventing her from moving.
Now it was much quieter.
Chen Tai turned his head towards Ba Zi Ge.
The kid gave a lewd smile.
He bowed and scraped, calling out to his subordinates, “Go, go, it’s all good now. Let’s go drink.”
Under Chen Tai’s orders, Ba Zi Ge’s men had been conducting a vigorous “Learn Dragon Nation Language” campaign.
At least when Chen Tai was around, they had to use Dragon Nation language when communicating with each other.
Otherwise, Chen Tai would administer punishment.
Whether it was the Heart-Eating Curse, which felt like being simultaneously bitten by ten thousand ants, or the Boiling Blood Technique, where one’s blood would boil, causing itching all over, but touching the blisters would trigger a sharp pain in the heart, or the Heart-Nightmare Curse, where one would see blood tears flowing from their eyes in broad daylight, and see ghosts floating in the air, almost everyone had experienced this ordeal.
With such “assistance,” everyone’s Dragon Nation language skills were improving rapidly.
It had actually taken away some of the fun from Chen Tai’s life.
Let’s not dwell on that.
Chen Tai grabbed Zhao Zi Ying, who was crawling towards the white powder.
He placed her in front of Su Su and immobilized her.
Then he looked at Su Su.
“We are all Dragon Nation people. If you understand what I’m saying, nod your head.”
Su Su didn’t move.
Chen Tai frowned, ready to resort to measures.
At this moment, a timid voice came from behind, “Master, she can’t seem to move.”
Chen Tai smacked his forehead, forgetting.
He reached out and poked Su Su, releasing her acupuncture point.
Once Su Su could move, she immediately threw herself in front of Zhao Zi Ying.
Even though she was terrified, she resolutely protected her sister.
“If you understand what I’m saying, nod your head.”
Chen Tai asked again.
Su Su nodded.
“Good. Little Ba Zi didn’t lie to you. I called you here for a good thing.”
Su Su nodded, but the vigilance in her eyes expressed – she didn’t believe a word of it.
Chen Tai didn’t mind. He pointed around.
“Look, within a mile in every direction, you can’t even see a single person. You can scream your lungs out, but no one will hear you.”
A glimmer of despair and determination appeared in Su Su’s eyes.
“I’ll unseal your mute point. Don’t make a sound, listen to me, then I’ll tell you what the good thing is. Can you cooperate?”
Su Su thought about it for a moment and slowly nodded.
“Good.”
Chen Tai smiled in reassurance. With a flick of his hand, he unsealed Su Su’s mute point.
Su Su touched her throat and tried to say “Ha.”
Then she looked at Chen Tai.
“Who are you? What do you want to do?”
Chen Tai didn’t answer her.
Instead, he reached out and with a flick of his finger, the small bag of white powder flew into his hand.
Wu Meng had seen and tried this many times, so she no longer thought it was remarkable.
But Su Su had never witnessed such a thing.
Before, the mute point and immobilization could be explained by acupuncture points, but this summoning of objects from thin air, even in martial arts novels, was considered a godlike feat.
Chen Tai leisurely opened the bag.
A pungent smell spread out.
“Ugh, she’s been taking this garbage?”
Chen Tai looked disdainfully at the white powder, which was extremely low in purity.
This kind of stuff, when taken in large quantities, was even more harmful than higher purity white powder.
To give an example, in Africa, those black brothers, when they are poor, even resort to inhaling glue and aviation fuel.
If we say that white powder will damage the nerves and immune system in the long run, leading to mental decline, cognitive system disorders, but with money, one can still live for a few decades, then glue and these other things will directly and rapidly damage organs.
Those who inhale them will experience a feeling of suffocation and dizziness.
And in that moment of suffocation and dizziness, people will experience a numbness that travels from the scalp to the tailbone. The tingling sensation makes people feel like they are floating on clouds, intoxicated. It is precisely this reaction that makes people become deeply addicted and unable to control themselves.
“Hmm? With this trash, is she only conscious for a short period of time each day now?”
Chen Tai continued to ask.
Su Su’s face was filled with shame, and after hesitating for a while, she only uttered two words: “We have no money.”
“No money to get addicted to this stuff? You don’t look like you’re from the border region of Yunnan.”
Su Su’s face became even more uncomfortable.
But she still recounted the reason, one by one.
