Chapter 398: Cause of Death of He Pu


    “Has he told you about the content before?”


    “No.” Mr. Dong answered simply.


    ?Xu Huo asked a few more questions and found that he really didn’t know. It could be props, potions, or other things, but there was no specific direction.


    "He Pu died of an illness. What illness did he have?"


    “Organ failure.” Mr. Dong said: “There is no cure.”


    Xu Huo immediately realized something, "Is it because of evolution? Didn''t he continue to take the evolution agent?"


    “The evolution agent is useless.” Mr. Dong said: “After Mr. Hope fell ill, the evolution agent became ineffective.”


    He didn’t want to continue talking about this topic and asked, “What do you want to eat for lunch, sir?”


    "Whatever." A cloud formed on Xu Huo''s brow. The evolution agent failed. Was it because the evolution failed?


    As early as in Decibel Town, he knew that some people would develop symptoms of xenomorphism or weakness even if they took evolution agents. The information he saw at that time involved ordinary evolved people and did not mention players. Now think about it, all Everyone uses defective evolution agents, and it is also difficult for players to avoid this phenomenon. However, the player mortality rate is higher. Some people died in the dungeon without this happening.


    ??He Pu can set fire twenty-eight times, so the player level must be high...so even high-level players may not be able to avoid the sequelae caused by the evolution agent.


    No wonder there are a lot of pharmaceutical research notes in the study. He Pu must have wanted to try to overcome the shortcomings of the evolution agent himself.


    Having been to so many game zones, would he know about the perfect evolution agent?


    Xu Huo''s heartbeat accelerated for a few seconds and then returned to normal. He had searched all the notes in the study and found nothing about the perfect evolution agent. He asked Mr. Dong whether Mr. Dong didn''t know if it was still hidden in this place. Holding something else.


    Glancing around the study, his eyes fell on the diamond key, and after a moment he turned to the projected map.


    He stayed in the study until the afternoon before going out. Madam Butterfly was having afternoon tea in the garden, waving in a good mood, "Look, this is the butterfly sent by Duke Tarr."


    ?Several palm-sized golden butterflies were struggling in the glass cabinet. They were packed and tied with flower ribbons and placed on the table as gifts.


    “I’m going to die soon.” Xu Huo went over and sat down.


    “It can only live for twenty minutes at most.” Madam Butterfly’s smile did not change, admiring the butterfly’s wings that frequently flapped as it struggled. “The more beautiful the thing, the less likely it is to live long.”


    “Is He Pu’s death due to evolutionary sequelae?” Xu Huo suddenly asked.


    Madam Butterfly looked at him strangely and said, "He is so old, it would not be strange for him to die of old age."


    Xu Huodun said, “According to the records in the photo album, his age cannot be more than sixty years old.”


    “Isn’t that photo album all about arson? He himself didn’t appear in the picture.”


    In fact, even if you appear on camera, you may not be able to tell a person''s age. Even without the help of props, there are some potions that can keep you youthful.


    "His psychological changes." Xu Huo said: "He has grown significantly in the process of setting fires. At the beginning, he still had sympathy for ordinary people. Later, it was almost invisible in the arson cases. However, he was not an outlier. By setting fire with a game mentality, he is retaliating against the game government.”


    "Based on his mentality, I guess he is no more than sixty years old. Not to mention players, even ordinary people who have not taken evolution agents are not sixty years old. Besides, he should have been sick for more than five years."


    “He didn’t tell me his true age either.” Madam Butterfly took a sip of tea, “I’m not his mother, how could I know so clearly.”


    "You want to know what he left for you." She smiled, "Stop making any insinuations. I won''t reveal more until you finish what I said, otherwise you will use your clever little brain. Guess it." Xu Huo was not in a hurry. He poured himself a cup of tea and leaned back in his chair. "It''s hard to make a fool of yourself without rice. When there are no clues, it''s not called guessing, it''s called imagination."


    Madam Butterfly pushed the snacks in front of him, "The cook Mr. Dong found is very good."


    “How long have you known He Pu?” Xu Huo asked casually.


    "It''s been many years." Madam Butterfly held her chin and thought for a moment, "I can''t remember exactly. He was fine at that time. I even set fires with him twice. It was quite fun."


    “Can you set a fire?” she asked.


    ?This woman obviously knows He Pu’s previous identity.


    Xu Huo nodded, "I have a prop that belongs to him."


    "V. Fanshawe''s crime tool?" Madam Butterfly raised her neck and asked. After getting the affirmative answer, she suddenly laughed and said very happily: "Really, it''s so interesting."


    After she finished laughing, she added: "So you two are very destined, I don''t know if it is accidental or inevitable."


    Xu Huo said nothing, and his eyes shifted to the rose flowers blooming next to him.


    Being able to accurately name the props and knowing He Pu’s previous identity, the two had a deep connection in the past.


    ?But unlike the relationship he had speculated before, Madam Butterfly is not as mature as she appears. She is a genuine young girl. They should be said to be more like father and daughter.


    ?? But Madam Butterfly was not so serious about Hope in her words. The two were not really father and daughter.


    “Are you He Pu’s adopted daughter?” Xu Huo turned around and interrupted the person playing with flowers.


    "You are so annoying." Madam Butterfly let go of her hands, and blackness spread from her feet. When the flowers fell to the ground, they merged into the darkness along with the entire garden, and all the tables, chairs, and teacups disappeared.


    The two of them kept sitting and looking at each other. Xu Huo smiled and said, "Don''t be so angry. You know that I have also evolved for the second time. Your mental attack may not be effective on me."


    "Not necessarily." Madam Butterfly raised her hand and held it in the air, opening a hole in the black as if pulling a zipper, and the zipper across the two people also seemed to turn into a flat photo of Xu Huotou. There was a hole in it.


    A butterfly flew in.


    Madam Butterfly appeared at the entrance of the stairs, the surroundings were still black. She looked behind her and then butterfly wings sprouted and flew deeper along the stairs.


    During this period, she increased her speed several times, but the dark spiral staircase seemed to have no end. Although she had already set off a lot, every place was like the entrance of the staircase, with no light in front and back.


    Madam Butterfly stopped. Another zipper appeared in front of her, sliding from top to bottom. The zipper opened into an oval opening and moved backwards to swallow her.


    ?It’s a pity that there are steps behind the door.


    “Won’t you let me in?” she said, “I might not be so polite next time.”


    "I don''t have any patience at all. I walked for a few days." Xu Huo''s voice sounded on the steps in front of her. With his appearance, the steps began to turn from black to white, and the snow-white color instantly covered the entire spiral staircase. , countless bookcases and portals emerged from the darkness, rotating and splicing around the stairs one after another, forming a complete round tower-like floor, extending to the depths of the feet, with no end visible at a glance.
