The homeless man swore that if he hadn't drunk that bowl of magical holy water and regained some of his strength, he would now be seeing someone pouring water into their own bowl and burning a piece of paper inside.

He would definitely think the other party was playing a trick on him, but he drank it and miraculously regained his strength.

At this moment, they saw the other person performing a strange ritual to make holy water for them again.

He doesn't lack the courage to try; after all, how many homeless people in Los Angeles haven't gone through drug trials?

Even if they didn't participate in drug trials, they must have sold their blood!

It's just a bowl of water now, even though a piece of paper was burned into it. This strangely dressed young man from the East is still muttering gibberish over the bowl of water.

This seems very similar to the spells used by magicians and Eastern monks in Hollywood blockbusters.

For example, Harry Potter has it.

After Chen Ping'an finished pouring water, lighting the talisman, and chanting incantations, the thin talisman burned, leaving a small amount of ash that instantly disappeared into the water.

The homeless man stared at his bowl in disbelief. Where had the ashes from the burnt paper gone? Why was there not a trace of color in them?

But then the strangely dressed young man from the East breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, this bowl of mineral water, after my blessing, has become what you understand as holy water."

It can relieve hunger and replenish the energy needed by the body.

You can give it a try!

A disposable paper bowl, half-filled with mineral water and mixed with the ash of a talisman, was now crystal clear. It was gently lifted to the lips, and a sip was taken.

A familiar warmth, a long-lost sense of strength.

The homeless man's eyes widened. He was a homeless man, not stupid. He had been too hungry and too exhausted to notice some problems.

Now?

The first bowl of so-called holy water made him less hungry, and after regaining his strength, he felt the effects more clearly.

And generally, things that can give people this feeling...

The homeless man's eyes widened instantly as he looked at the strangely dressed young man from the East. His lips trembled as he hesitantly asked, "Could it be that there's an additive in this water?"

Otherwise, how can we explain that as soon as it's ingested, it makes you feel full and immediately restores the energy lost due to excessive hunger?

Only a potentiator can produce such an effect!

Moreover, the other party's kindness might be because they have developed a new type of enhancer and are specifically looking for homeless people like him to conduct human experiments.

Otherwise, what value would a homeless man like him, who is about to starve to death, have to be tempted by others to try out this kind of enhancer?

He wasn't stupid, nor was he one of those illiterate people who had finished twelfth grade but couldn't even read a short essay.

He did attend university properly back then!

Those who got in weren't the kind who sent their mothers to stay with a politician for a month to get a letter of recommendation; they were elite students who earned the school's praise through their outstanding performance and had already published best-selling books during their high school years.

That is why wise people would not believe that there is any religious holy water in this world that can quickly restore the body's hunger and the sense of strength lost after the body's health has been destroyed by prolonged hunger.

No!

If there is one, it must be a enhancer!

Faced with such doubts, Chen Ping'an's lips curled up slightly, showing no sign of panic, even though he hadn't encountered such doubts when he went to distribute talisman water a couple of days ago.

But you can't expect all homeless people to be mentally challenged!

Lin Zhiyong said that many of these homeless people are middle-class people who were originally well-educated, and not all of them are empty-headed.

Given the effects of the talisman water, it's normal for people to suspect it's an enhancer, and some might even suspect it's a drug company conducting random, illegal drug trials on the street.

Chen Ping'an was prepared for the possible questions that might arise, even though this was on the outskirts of a homeless community and there weren't many onlookers.

Because most homeless people don't have the time, energy, or strength to watch the excitement, homeless people who go hungry for three days and nine meals a day would rather lie down whenever they have nothing to do.

Even though many of these homeless people who are on the verge of starvation don't actually mind being exposed to enhancers, many people don't touch them, mostly because they haven't been addicted before, or because they don't have money now.

But some, like this homeless man, are psychologically resistant.

Look, even their lips are trembling!

Even as he trembled, the homeless man had no other thoughts.

The strangely dressed young man from the East had a holster incongruously attached to the belt of his oddly shaped robe, inside which was a Glock 17.

Not to mention, behind this strangely dressed young Eastern man, there was another young Eastern man with a holster on his waist, and also a Glock 17 of the same model.

This is the truth!

At least when faced with an unarmed homeless man, this homeless man didn't dare to... suddenly attack someone because he suspected that the water he had just drunk contained a potent agent!

Because homeless people are now poor. In America, everyone can own a gun, but the poor don't!

Just as the homeless man was having such doubts, he saw the other person hand him the half-empty bottle of mineral water that had just been poured out.

He poured it into his bowl again, then handed over the talismans he had just taken out, placing them in his other hand.

"If there is any enhancer in here, whether it is water or these talismans, you can light it like I did and then throw it into the bowl of water."

See if you can boil the holy water I just made for you, with the same effects and taste.

The homeless man handed the bowl back, along with the talismans Chen Ping'an had given him.

"No need. For people like us who are about to starve to death, whether or not there is a booster is not important!"

The important thing is that I'm still alive because I drank your water!

Just now, a moment before you called me, I almost thought I was going to die. The long-term hunger had caused me to hallucinate and see my grandmother.

Even if your water contains new enhancement agents that you use for drug testing, I still benefit!

I can live a few more days!

Isn't that right?

The homeless man chuckled self-deprecatingly, speaking very frankly, and of course, with a sense of helplessness, the kind of helplessness that leaves one with no choice but to accept it.

Chen Ping'an grinned and shook his head. He was unlucky today; he had run into a smart person with brains right from the start.

It's not that smart people are bad!

Rather, it means that being smart means encountering unexpected things and having a lot of ideas.

How so?

Perhaps I have some guts; there are always troublemakers who want to harm me.

"Don't bother explaining to him!"

Lin Zhiyong couldn't stand it anymore. This fussy and indecisive way of doing things was nothing like the carefree Chen Ping'an he used to be in school.

After graduating, I worked as a real estate agent for two years, and my personality was completely changed by life.

"If he wants to misunderstand, then let him misunderstand!"

"After today, his physical sensations will be a million times more real than your explanation!"

Chen Ping'an thought so too, so he took back the talismans from the homeless man's hand and walked to the next homeless man lying on the ground not far away, seemingly dead.

His eyes, which had become unusually sharp at some point, could even see the calves of a target fifty or sixty meters away, as well as the ground next to them, where there seemed to be a dozen or so maggots crawling.

Ok? ? ?

He took another closer look and noticed that the target's chest, which was lying supine on the plastic sheet, seemed to be rising and falling slightly!

How did maggots get in there?
