839 A Thousand Deaths Will Not Atone for His Crimes (1/2)
”Ha-ha, you are all living well,” the Poison Master said. ”Naturally, I have to live as well. What is this place, a villain's valley?”
”We are different from you,” Zhong Liuchuan said.
”How are we different?” the Poison Master asked. ”No matter what, killing one person and 100 people are all considered murder. Murderers deserve to die. I deserve to die, and so do you.”
”What kind of theory are you talking about?” Hu Mei asked from the side.
”Xiao Mei, I didn't expect you to join hands with them to deal with me this time,” the Poison Master said. ”If it wasn't for me, you would have died.”
”How could I have been ambushed that time, if not for you? Did you think I didn't know?” Hu Mei asked. ”You used me as bait and rescued me after the task had been completed. Do you want to pretend to be a lifesaver now?”
As they were talking, the door opened. Jia Zizai and Wang Yao came in from outside.
Wang Yao was looking at the Poison Master, who was also looking at him.
His body was suffering from a strange disease. The moisture in his body, which resulted in conditions such as eczema and more serious side effects, was heavy. He was also poisoned. There was less than half of his life left in him. He was a person who did not have long to live.
What a strange young man!
The Poison Master looked Wang Yao over. However, Wang Yao made him feel uncomfortable. They were not the same kind of people. They were the opposite kind of people like fire and water or light and darkness. This was the special feeling that Wang Yao gave him.
The young man's gaze was so calm that it made him uncomfortable.
The Poison Master opened his mouth first. ”Who is this person?”
”It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is what you did,” Wang Yao said.
”What did I do?” the Poison Master asked.
”You used to concoct a strange poison. After one was poisoned, their five internal organs would feel as if they were burning. Their bodies would fester. Death was better than living in agony, isn't that right?”
”Ah, I remember, that was the Burning Hut!” At the mention of that poison, the Poison Master's eyes began to shine. ”That was the poison I made three years ago. I tested it several times. By the way, one of the times was with Xiao Mei, right? I remember killing 16 people at that time.”
”Yes, with me, there were quite a few innocent people involved,” Hu Mei said.
”What is innocence?” the Poison Master asked. ”There is no innocence in this world! It is even possible to be killed by falling things when walking or choking when drinking water. They should be considered poison as well!”
”Your logic is very strange,” Wang Yao coldly said.
The Poison Master immediately guessed the reason for this situation. ”Ah, I see. It must be your family or friends who were poisoned and died. Did you pay them a lot of money to catch me?”
”That is almost true,” Wang Yao said. ”One of my relatives was indeed hurt, but she didn't die. Instead, she suffered two years of agony. Death was a better option for her.”
”Still alive? That is impossible!” The Poison Master was surprised. ”That kind of poison is extremely fierce. Up until now, I haven't been able to formulate a proper antidote. How can the poisoned person still be alive?”
”Why is it impossible? I've been poisoned by you. Aren't I still fine?” Jia Zizai retorted with a cigarette in his mouth.
”Did you find someone from the Valley of Thousands of Medicine or the King Pharmacist from Miaojiang?”
”What Valley of Thousands of Medicine? What King Pharmacist from Miaojiang?”
Wang Yao didn't speak. He had heard about both that place and person. He had not expected this Poison Master to have heard about them. He also seemed to be familiar with them.
”Who else then?” the Poison Master asked.
”What do you think?” Jia Zizai asked with a smile.
”Alright, since you've already admitted that you did it, it's natural to be punished,” Wang Yao coldly said.
”Punished? Fine, what punishment!” The Poison Master looked as if he had given up. Considering his condition, he no longer feared death. He did not feel that there would be any serious consequences if he were to fall into these people's hands.
”Be careful, Sir. He's a madman. He's a real madman!” Jia Zizai warned from the side.
”Sir? You would rarely address someone that way,” the Poison Master said. ”It seems that this young man's ability is not so common, considering your respectful manner.”
”How strong my abilities are none of your business. Think about your predicament.” When Wang Yao spoke, he thought about how to punish the man who did many wrong things but didn't know how to repent.
”How many people did he kill?”
”It can't be calculated. With just my knowledge alone, he has killed hundreds of people,” Jia Zizai said.
”So many?” Wang Yao was surprised upon hearing the number.
”He once destroyed a village to test a poison,” Jia Zizai said. ”All the men, women, children, and livestock in the village were poisoned and died. There were more than 100 people in that village alone.”
Wang Yao was stunned.
”He should be cut into pieces!”
”Ha-ha, only I am the villain, so I should be put to death by dismembering my body,” the Poison Master said with a laugh. ”You are all good, awesome people. Ask yourselves this and answer truthfully, whose hands are not covered with blood?”
”We are not like you! You are a madman!”
”Ha-ha-ha!”
Bleh! The Poison Master suddenly opened his mouth. Blood sprayed everywhere.
”Be careful!”
When Wang Yao moved his hands in the air, the sprayed blood was blocked by an invisible barrier. None of it fell on the people around.
”Sir, you have to be careful. His blood is poisonous,” Jia Zizai said.
Tick. A drop of blood fell on the ground and immediately turned black. The drop exuded a unique fishy stench.
”He is a poisonous man,” Jia Zizai said. ”His body is full of poison.”
”How could this happen?” The Poison Master was stunned. He watched the blood that had sprayed from his mouth hang in mid-air and slowly fall to the ground. ”What skill is that?”
After busying himself with that, Wang Yao said, ”Alright, let's all go and do our work.”
