Chapter 374

Derek’s face turned pale as fear filled his eyes. It was as if he had seen something extremely horrifying.

Margaret’s lips trembled. “W-What’s going on? I saw them at the door when I left this morning…”

Trembling, Derek added, “They were eating, but then they suddenly ran out of breath…”

“Let’s go and see!” Margaret immediately headed outside.

Yasmin wanted to follow, but Margaret said, “Yasmin, you stay home with Mr. Young!”

Yasmin had no choice but to stop in her tracks.

“Mr. Nash, should we go and check it out?” Xeno asked quietly.

“Yes, let’s go take a look,” Nash replied calmly, showing no emotions.

Margaret and Derek rushed ahead of them while Yasmin led Nash and Xeno behind them. A large crowd had

gathered outside Old Perry’s single-story house. On the living room floor lay two lifeless bodies, both with a deathly

pallor.

One of them appeared to be in their 40s, while the other was much younger, in their 30s. Nico and his mother were

sitting on the floor, tears streaming down their faces. Old Perry was sitting on the living room sofa as he pulled on

his pipe, worry and sorrow coloring his aged visage.

A few middle-aged women were whispering quietly among themselves. “What a tragedy. And they were so young.

“What did they do these past few days?”

“My husband said they went mining… Could something have poisoned them in the mines?”

“Why is your husband unaffected?”

The woman’s eyes suddenly widened at the question.

She turned and ran back to her house. Nash and the others arrived then. Margaret walked straight into the living

room. When she saw the two lifeless bodies on the floor, her face instantly paled as she asked, “Old Perry, what…

what’s going on here?”

With a hoarse voice, the man replied with a tremble in his voice, “Retribution. It’s retribution!

Tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke.

Nash activated his Third Eye and examined the two bodies on the floor. He noticed a purple mist permeating their

bodies. There was a two-centimeter-long purple deathworm in each of their brains.

Deathworms!

Nash’s pupils contracted/slightly. These creatures grew by consuming the brain tissue of the deceased. They could

enter a person’s brain through their ears, nose, or mouth, then secrete a peculiar toxin that first paralyzed the

victim’s sensory nerves before they feasted on the brain tissue.
