"But in that year, something happened. Yuan Shengtao... was kidnapped. Also kidnapped with him was a little boy, who was his playmate. The boy was the son of his father's subordinate, and it was said that he had already shown signs of developing supernatural powers."

Hearing this, Su Tang's heart moved. Lu Wanxin mentioned this child specifically, it must not be unintentional.

She had some vague guesses.

"The kidnapper was his father's rival. He was very resentful because he lost the fight and his wife ran away with another man with the child. He didn't kidnap them for ransom, but just to vent his anger. The man beat and tortured Yuan Shengtao and the child for several days. When he saw that they were dying, he threw them into a deep cellar and left them to die."

Speaking of this, Lu Wanxin's pupils shrank slightly.

"I don't know how he escaped, but just looking at those photos... it's like hell..." She took a breath, slowed down a little, and then quickly said, "The cellar was covered in blood. The child's body was no longer recognizable. His head was smashed and only bones were left. And in the house outside the cellar, the man who kidnapped them was in a similar situation!"

At this point, she raised her head abruptly, "Since then, Yuan Shengtao has had supernatural powers!"

For a moment, the air in the room seemed to stagnate!

Ren Xiao, who was also listening nearby, opened his mouth in amazement. He felt his throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound.

Only bones are left... Could it be that he gained this ability by eating other people with special abilities?

When this guess came to his mind, he was immediately horrified, and the hairs on his body stood up! In the end times, when hunger reached its extreme, people also exchanged their children for cannibalism, but those were all inhumane adults.

And Yuan Shengtao was only twelve years old at that time!

He is just a child, but he has such a cruel heart? Thinking of his cold and aloof appearance, Ren Xiao really found it unbelievable. Split-minded? An acting talent? An award-winning actor?

And that head, smashed to pieces... could it be that even the brain was smashed...

When Ren Xiao thought of this, his stomach churned and he almost vomited!

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Su Tang, but found that the woman didn't look too shocked, but rather seemed to be thinking about something!

After a while, she asked slowly and steadily, "So what exactly is his ability?"

...How strong is this woman's nerve! If he didn't know her character, he would really doubt whether she was so accustomed to such things!

"I don't know. That's why I'm so worried." Lu Wanxin shook her head. "I saw those photos by accident back then, and Old Yuan had no choice but to tell me all this. Yuan Shengtao was in a coma for a long time after being rescued. After he woke up, he had amnesia and had no recollection of what happened. But the hospital found out that he had superpowers, and he admitted it, but refused to say what they were. Old Yuan didn't mention it either, but I know that Yuan Shengtao's mental power is very high, so I guess he should have mental powers."

"Psychic ability?"

"Yes. However, it is definitely not an ordinary psychic ability like hypnosis." Lu Wanxin said firmly, narrowing her eyes slightly, "But his ability has a biggest flaw, it consumes a lot of energy, and can only be used once in a period of time! I still remember that five years ago, he led his troops to kill the mutant beasts. I heard that he performed very well and killed the most difficult beast leader alone. It was also at that time that he was respected by many people in the superpower army. However, he won, but he was carried back, and it took a long time to recover. Lao Yuan scolded him privately, saying that he was simply throwing his life away, how could he use his ability twice!"

Su Tang was shocked after hearing this.

It consumes a lot of energy, which means that this power is extremely lethal! Meng Huo hasn't sent any news yet, could it be that he has run into him? Is he injured? !

She rubbed her brows with a heavy look, worried. Lu Wanxin hesitated to speak, and finally, she just stroked her hand, "Keep it in your heart. If you really meet him, as long as you can protect yourself, nothing is too much. You are too tired, have a good rest, I will leave first, mom...wait for you to come back."

"Well, take care of yourself too." Su Tang shook her hand slightly, temporarily putting aside his worries. In any case, this news is very important. Lu Wanxin didn't know the truth about the demise of the Su family, and her deep love with Yuan Qihuan was related to her son's biggest weakness. She must have been prepared to keep it in her heart for the rest of her life! But now, she even told her the clues she secretly heard, and finally said such comforting words. Obviously, her heart has been biased towards her daughter.

Lu Wanxin let out a soft "ah" and stroked her face reluctantly again.

Suddenly he remembered something, took out a bag from his bag and stuffed it into her hand, then turned around quickly.

While Su Tang was stunned, she had already closed the door and left.

When she opened the bag and saw that it was full of crystal cores, she couldn't help but feel a little sweet in her heart. But when she thought of Meng Huo's situation, she felt very uneasy.

Ren Xiao did not leave with Lu Wanxin. He was secretly observing Su Tang at this time.

He was very curious, is this woman really not afraid?

After a while, Su Tang glanced at him.

"What are you looking at?"

Ren Xiao immediately withdrew his gaze from studying the subject, and expressed his genuine concern. "Uh, it's nothing. I was just thinking that Yuan Shengtao is really a dangerous person. Do you think he really got his superpowers by eating those two superpower users?"

Su Tang thought about it and did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "You have been out and about for a long time. Have you ever seen a superpower with a crystal core in his head?"

When Lu Wanxin was talking about the miserable conditions of those people, she remembered that she had read in some other apocalyptic novel that crystal cores would form in the brains of zombies. In fact, people with special abilities would also have such abilities. So she thought, if this was true, then Yuan Shengtao might have developed special abilities by absorbing human crystal cores.

Ren Xiao quickly understood her subtext. He was slightly startled. "This, you didn't pay attention. If it's true, it's terrible!"

Yes, if it is true, if this news is known by many people... then, those who want to obtain superpowers at all costs, there is no telling what they will do!

It can be said that if that were to happen, it would not be humanity that would be destroyed by the harsh living environment, but by humanity itself!

Su Tang looked at his increasingly frightened expression with a strange look on his face, and could not help but lean weakly against the back of the sofa.

"you think too much!"

"Hey?"

Su Tang said with certainty, "It is impossible that all psychics have crystal cores. What I mean is that even if there are some, they are very few."

Ren Xiao disagreed, "How do you know?!" As he said that, he touched his head, wanting to reach in and look for it.

"Do you think all those detection equipment in the city are useless? If there is a crystal core, such a large thing in the brain, the scan will also detect abnormalities."

Ren Xiao was stunned for a while, "That's true."

Su Tang rolled his eyes, "Nonsense!" Ren Xiao, who felt stupid, hesitated for a while, and suddenly said, "If there is no crystal core, he directly ate human flesh and blood to get the superpower? Could it be that the child with him has this superpower, and he got it? Then he ate the kidnapper? If so, it's also very scary. Doesn't he want to get the superpower by eating anyone?!"

My imagination is getting bigger and bigger...

Su Tang shook his head. "I think it's unlikely. The human body has limited endurance and cannot be filled with too many superpowers. Nowadays, most people's superpowers are divided into three categories: primitive, natural, and spiritual. Haven't you noticed? People with two or more superpowers have not crossed the category. In other words, if a water-type superpower has another superpower, it will only be a natural superpower, not a primitive superpower."

Ren Xiao looked at her thoughtfully, "What about you? You originally had primitive abilities, but later you gained spiritual spatial abilities. Isn't this something else that crosses over into other abilities?"

The corners of Su Tang's mouth twitched secretly twice. This boy was really sharp. He went around in circles and finally got to her head.

"The categories of superpowers are just made up by humans, that's all. Don't you think it's a stretch to classify space superpowers as spiritual? If you have a chance, you can suggest to the Central City government to separate it into a separate category."

Ren Xiao exhaled, "Do I have nothing better to do than to care about such things!"

Su Tang shrugged. As for her, she was just bored!

Ren Xiao waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this. No matter what, you will know when you see it with your own eyes. It's getting late, you should go to rest!"

"Well, that's fine. I'll take you out then."

"Go out? No, no, I'm not leaving today. I'll just stay on the couch!"

Seeing that he had a lazy look on his face and it was obvious that he was not going to leave, Su Tang ignored him and went straight back to his room.

Just as I was half asleep, I heard a loud shout from outside, "You are so good, Su Tang! You actually said that I was too busy to care about other people's business!"

ha? !

I swear to God, aren’t you the one saying these words?

They used boring words to hide their inner worries, but the truth could not be erased. The next day, both of them got up before dawn.

According to Su Tang's suggestion, they went to Paradise City first.

Wanyan Hui was awakened from his sleep, but unfortunately, the answer he gave was still disappointing.

No news came back from Meng Huo.

Su Tang just nodded and left.

Xiaoguai picked up the two again and spread his wings and flew towards the northwest direction marked on the map.

Su Tang estimated that at its speed, it would take about three to four days to reach the location Meng Huo last sent the message from.

I just don't know if he is still there now?

I hope... everyone is safe, Su Tang thought quietly. She didn't want to lose any of them, especially Meng Huo!
