Chapter 1127 A Man Who Wants to Die (1/2)
When Han Sen saw what emerged from the sack, his body flared with goosebumps and his head got all itchy.
The person that emerged from the bag was a man who was very skinny and seemed to be around thirty years of age.
It was a living person, and Han Sen could see the fright that twisted his face.
Before Han Sen could return from his thoughts, the scorpions were stinging the poor man. He was stung many times, like he was being deliberately tortured. He rolled around on the ground, writhing and screaming in agony.
”It is all a ruse! How can Uncle Bug feign such kindness every day, when this is the sick and twisted stuff he gets up to on his own. How could he even think to torture a man like that?!” Han Sen spine was frosting over with the chills he was feeling.
When Han Sen next looked at Uncle Bug, he froze.
Uncle Bug was crying. As he watched the man get stung all over, he himself looked as if he was in pain. Amidst the tears, he prayed over the man down below.
It was then that Han Sen realized the man being tortured looked familiar, like someone he had seen in the shelter.
Uncle Bug was being very emotional. Han Sen used dongxuan aura to get a read of the man's feelings and see what he could hear of the man's thoughts. But all he could hear was screaming.
There was one word he was able to discern, though.
”Son? Did he say 'son'? That can't be his son!” Han Sen exclaimed in his head as he turned to look at the naked man. He couldn't even begin to fathom why Uncle Bug would treat his son in such a manner.
But people wouldn't lie to themselves in such a situation. He had heard Uncle Bug scream it was his son. Han Sen could not have been mistaken.
Now, the body of the person on the ground was all swollen. The natural assumption would be to presume he was dead, or was going to be, in such a state.
He had been a rather skinny man when Han Sen first saw him. Now, he was swollen like a fat man. The man could no longer scream, but his muscles still twitched with the pain he was continuing to endure.
Uncle Bug continued to pray as tears drenched his face. As he did so, his teeth chattered in what had to be fear.
Han Sen had never seen anything as remotely curious, horrific, and upsetting as this. He had no idea how he should feel about what was going on.
Just as Han Sen thought the man was about to be dined on, he heard the baby cry again.
It wasn't sharp like before: the sound of the baby was rough and coarse.
When the noise echoed across the valley, all the scorpions returned to their holes.
Soon enough, all that remained was a man who looked much like a bloated pig.
