Chapter 398: He Pu's Cause of Death
"Did he tell you what it was before?"
"No." Mr. Dong's reply was brief.
Xu Huo asked a couple more questions, then realized he genuinely didn't know. It could have been an item, a Potion, or something else; there was no specific clue.
"He Pu died of an illness. What was it?"
"Organ Failure," Mr. Dong said. "It couldn't be cured."
Xu Huo immediately realized something. "Was it because of Evolution? Did he stop taking Evolution Potion?"
"Evolution Potion was useless," Mr. Dong said. "After Mr. He Pu fell ill, the Evolution Potion stopped working."
He didn't intend to continue the topic. "What would you like for lunch, sir?"
"Anything." A cloud settled over Xu Huo's brow. The Evolution Potion had stopped working—was it because Evolution had failed?
Back in Decibel Town, he had learned that some people developed symptoms of becoming an Alien or growing weak even after taking Evolution Potion. The information he'd seen then concerned ordinary Evolved Humans and hadn't mentioned Players. Thinking about it now, everyone was using defective Evolution Potion, and Players probably couldn't avoid the same thing. It was just that Players had a high death rate; some died in Dungeons before they ever developed those symptoms.
He Pu had set fires twenty-eight times, so he probably hadn't been a low-level Player... Which meant that even high-level Players might not be able to avoid the Aftereffects of Evolution Potion.
No wonder the Study Room contained so many research notes on Potions. He Pu must have wanted to overcome the flaws in Evolution Potion himself.
He'd been to so many Sub-districts. Could he have known about Perfect Evolution Potion?
Xu Huo's heart raced for a few seconds before returning to normal. He had searched through all the notes
