Chapter 7: The Story
"Why don't you eat it, you don't dislike my saliva, do you?" the man frowned.
I shook my head desperately, and honestly, his bloodstained mouth...... The saliva really made me sick, but the corpse on the ground was obviously more horrible in comparison.
"Damn, it's obviously weak and scum, but it's still dragging it. ”
I'm about to cry, I'm so scared that I'm about to pee, but he can still see it on my face?
"Boy, it's rare that I'm in a good mood today and want to have a treat, dare not give face?" The man walked over coldly, grabbed my hair and said, "Don't force me to beat you up and force it into your mouth." ”
In the night, a trace of anger was evident on his face, and the blood-red eyes and the nails that glittered in the darkness all made me panic, and I didn't know how to answer, but kept shaking my head and shrinking back.
Xu is my expression is too strange, the man was annoyed and suddenly stunned, looked at me carefully for a while, and then sighed: "Boy, you can't be a freshman, right? You've never eaten? You can't even accept it......?"
"I ...... I've eaten. I said in a trembling voice, "I just ate half a pig's heart." ”
I don't know why I answered his words, it seemed to be out of instinct, and it seemed that there was a little tenderness in his sighing expression, and it seemed that it was because he regarded me as a kind, and didn't want to eat me in the first place like Shaohua.
"And who is your reformer? Didn't you teach you this? Pig heart? ridiculous...... That kind of thing can't be used as food at all, at most it fills the stomach, but it can't reduce appetite, and it can't provide the necessary nutrients for our corpse demons to survive. The man pouted.
I shook my head and didn't answer, I don't know if I should tell him about Shaohua, are they companions?
Although Shaohua died in a car accident, it was also because of me after all......
"Poor boy, don't you even know who your own reformer is?......" The man sighed again, and went over to me and sat down, grabbed another piece of flesh and blood from the corpse, and threw it into his mouth.
I was so scared that I wanted to run, but the man grabbed me and said, "Don't be afraid, don't feel disgusting, you're going to take this step after all." ”
"I can't die ...... either"
"It's useless, no matter how stubborn you are, no matter how hard you hold on, you will still be unable to defeat your appetite in the end, and when your appetite is greater than your reason, you will go crazy!"
My body trembled and went crazy? Is it like I did to Sun Yun just now?
"I know you're unwilling and don't want to give up your identity as a human being, but unfortunately, from the moment we were bitten, everything was irreparable...... It's also like that. ”
The man smiled bitterly, and there was a touch of frustration in his expression, as if he remembered the past, the self who desperately fought his appetite, but finally had to throw himself into a pool of blood, crying and frantically biting at the corpse.
Xu was his expression that made me feel a sense of sympathy, and maybe I wanted to know what I would become in the future, so I instinctively asked, "Have you lived the same life as me......?" Can you tell me?"
"I don't really want to remember, but ...... All right. ”
"It's been nearly ten years, I was twenty years old at the time, I was still in college, ha, students, always fun, I played online games with two buddies in an Internet café, and I came back late at night, and I met my maker. ”
"Speaking of which, those two buddies asked me to accompany them for the night in the Internet café, but I was afraid that I would be reprimanded by the professor if I was not energetic in class the next day, so I ...... Looking back on it now, I really regret it. ”
"I was like you tonight, I was so scared that I peed my pants, I was so scared that I knelt on the ground and begged him to let me go, but the bastard still bit me, but I didn't eat it, and then I became a corpse ......"
"It was a long time before he told me that the reason he didn't eat me was not because he ate too much that night, nor because my pleading was too pitiful, but that this thing was boring during that time and wanted to find a little brother......"
"Grass, just such a stupid reason, Lao Tzu's human life will be completely ruined, bastard!" The man suddenly clenched his fists, and it could be seen that he still hated the guy who had reformed him.
"What happened later?" I instinctively asked, I didn't really care how he became a corpse, I wanted to know the future......
"Don't worry. The man patted me on the shoulder, took out a box of cigarettes from his arms, handed it to me, and said, "Will you smoke a few more, numb your nerves, and reduce your appetite a little." ”
"Can smoking reduce appetite?" I said, with a happy expression, I quickly took it in my hand and lit it, and took a few hard breaths.
I wasn't used to smoking, so I choked on the first sip and coughed, but it seemed that it was really beneficial, and after smoking one, I obviously felt much more comfortable, and my reaction to the blood on the ground was not so strong, so I quickly ordered another one.
"Thank you. I thanked him repeatedly.
"No thanks, and it's just a temporary relief, and it's useless in the end. The man laughed at himself: "I had to smoke about 4 or 5 packs a day, but I still couldn't make it." ”
"I've tried more ways than you, not only smoking, but also eating animal offal, I remember going to the vegetable market early every morning to buy pigs, cows and sheep offal, and the vendors thought I was opening a restaurant to sell stew. ”
"Unfortunately, it didn't work, even if our stomachs were full, our appetite still couldn't be suppressed, and later my maker told me that this was because there was not enough blood, and the corpse demon was a dead person, and the body could not produce blood, so it had to suck the blood of other humans to survive. ”
"No wonder......" I understood, it turned out that the source of appetite was not hunger, but the desire for blood, I couldn't help but think of something again, and hurriedly asked, "Is the blood of the animal okay?"
"No!" the man's answer made my mood instantly fall to the bottom.
"I've tried this, and within a week, I killed all the stray cats and dogs in the neighborhood near the school, and sucked up the blood, but unfortunately it still didn't work. ”
"Our body is based on humans, so we can only use human blood to survive, and the food must also be human internal organs, which is actually easy to understand, if a person is seriously injured and loses too much blood and runs to the hospital for treatment, will the doctor give him dog blood and cat blood?"
"No......," I shook my head in frustration.
"That's not it, in fact, I didn't believe in evil at the time, desperately ate animal offal, desperately killed stray pets in the surrounding communities, and even went to the flower and bird market to buy a few rabbits back, and the result was ......"
"It's useless, the corpse demon can't fight that strong appetite, boy, I advise ......you," the man said, his body suddenly trembled, and the hand holding my shoulder increased a little harder.
"Don't hold on, or you'll regret it, when your appetite goes beyond the limit, when you get crazy, you ...... You won't be able to control yourself at all, and you will even hurt those closest to you without realizing it. ”
"I may have been more persistent than you at the beginning, and I didn't want to give up my personal beliefs, but I held on for a month, until one day I ......"
"That morning, when I woke up, do you know what I found? I was lying next to my parents, my parents who had been bitten to death by me, who had eaten all the guts by me!!"
"They thought I was sick and came from the countryside to take care of me, but I killed them and ate them!!"
"I really didn't know at the time, I was completely confused, I couldn't hear their cries, I couldn't hear their cries, I couldn't feel their painful struggles, I ...... I'm a brute!' the man's voice trembled.
"Boy, don't hold on, or when you do the same thing as me one day, it's really painful. ”
I was stunned that he actually ...... This is more serious than I almost hurt Sun Yun, I can't help but start thinking about the picture he described, at that moment, I was trembling desperately, and so was he.
"But after that, it was much better, when I stopped holding on, when I started to live like a normal necromancer, ha...... I gave up, I don't care if I'm human anymore, I don't care about morality, I don't care about the least respect for life, I even killed my own parents, how can I care about other people?" the man said bitterly.
"Boy, in fact, there are benefits to being corpse demons, at least we are very strong, at least we are above the top of the biological chain, higher than humans, humans eat all the creatures in this world, and then we eat humans, ha, isn't this awesome?"
"So, give up and hold on, we can't fight our instincts at all, we can only kill and eat humans as much as they want, just like they kill other creatures, tsk, I've figured it out now, it's just survival instinct. ”
"I ...... I don't want to, I ......" I shook my head, clenched my fists hard, I knew he was telling the truth, but I didn't think I had to get to that last resort, I lit another cigarette, I should still be able to restrain that damn appetite, surely, must!
"Cut, stubborn stupid guy, well, even if you have more perseverance than me, even if you can hold on, so what? Boy, we're already a corpse, do you know what we're going to do if we don't get enough nutrients by eating?"
"What will happen?"
"You've probably noticed that our bodies can't absorb water properly, so if you don't replenish the blood, have you seen the dried corpses in the movies? That kind of jerky thing, ha, it's disgusting, right? We're going to be like that. ”
"And oh, if we don't devour our internal organs to replenish nutrients, our bodies won't be able to function properly, how do you know......? You've seen the walking dead, right? That rotten, disgusting zombie is what you're going to become. ”
"Now the autumn and winter seasons are better, your body will only slowly dry out, but in the summer, if you don't eat for seven days, your body will stink, and if you don't eat for half a month, it will start to rot, so rotten that it will be perforated all over the body, so rotten that your nose and eyes will all fall down, and rot to the stomach with maggots. ”
"Don't ...... Don't say it!" I covered my mouth and retched desperately.
"So, stop insisting, we can't change anything from the moment we get bitten. The man smiled dryly and grabbed a handful of blood-drenched minced meat from the ground and said, "Oh, eat, I'll treat you today, and see that we can still talk, and before you get enough strength to hunt, I'll take care of your food." ”
I wanted to cry without tears, I stared blankly at the internal organs in his hands, to eat, to eat, or not to eat, and things seemed to be back to square one......
