Chapter 419

Charles pointed at the poisonous insect in Yvette's hand, disbelief written all over his face. "Yvette, it's fixated on you...

Yvette raised an eyebrow, her clear eyes lifting to meet his. She spoke slowly, "Maybe. It probably thinks I look pretty Charles was momentarily speechless.

Jeremiah stepped forward, noticing the poisonous insect in Yvente's palm. He furrowed his brow. "Could it have any effect on your body?"

Yvette picked up a box and placed the poisonous insect inside, sealing it. The other poisonous insects in the nearby boxes, which had been restless moments ago, instantly grew quiet. The one she had released earlier was now huddled in a corner, trembling. Yvette spoke again. "No, it's developed intelligence."

Charles felt as though he had stepped into an unfamiliar world today. Yvette had just mentioned a poisonous insect developing intelligence. 'How many strange and mysterious things are still hidden in this world?' he thought.

The world was vast, and nothing seemed too bizarre to exist. Today, Charles had witnessed something truly eye-opening. Every time he was with Yvette, he seemed to encounter one strange event after another.. Jeremiah didn't seem particularly surprised by Yvette's words. His expression remained calm and unaffected.

Just then, a faint voice drifted in from outside. "Help me."

Charles's expression darkened. "Yvette, aren't these all puppets? How is it that someone is speaking?"

Yvette exchanged a glance with Jeremiah. He murmured, "Let's go check it out."

Stepping outside the small hut, they found a large jar nearby. A woman, Winnie, suddenly emerged from it. Her face was a sickly pale white, yet compared to the others, her eyes held a flicker of clarity.

The moment Winnie saw Yvette and the others, she excitedly tried to reach out but then remembered her hands were bound and couldn't move. She hadn't had water for several days, and her voice was hoarse. Her face was scarred and disfigured from being bitten by poisonous insects. "Please save me. I beg you. Please help me," she cried.

Charles rushed forward, smashing the jar to free Winnie. Her lower body was completely rotted, oozing pus, a disgusting sight.
