Everything in the civilized world is governed not only by morality and law, but also by a temptation called depravity that follows in the shadows

In the constant tugging, individuals who are weak-willed, or who don't care at all, or who are evil in their hearts, will slide into the darkness that is deeper than the shadows.

And in this world that is not absolutely materialistic, these degenerates are like tentacles extending from the darkness, always deliberately or inadvertently spreading depravity to the surrounding area, and then corrupting their civilization to a certain extent.

There are many types of depravity, but there is a term in the river system that is passed down in the shadows as 'wise eaters', which refers to a representative category of degenerate groups.

It is used to implicitly refer to those civilized beings who eat the body of civilized species, either to satisfy their own habitual habits, or simply to pursue that sense of freshness and excitement

It can be said beyond doubt that this is one of the most heinous acts which is absolutely contrary to the prevailing moral code of the river system, and which naturally does not tolerate the internal laws of the civilization of the members under the supervision of the Council;

Even in most shadow organizations, this is not something that can be put on the table to talk about generously, because many of the members of the various levels within them are from civilized countries;

Although they may be notorious for various reasons, many of them have never broken through or thought to break through this line.

But as mentioned earlier, morality and law are not the absolute yardsticks that determine the behavior of intelligent life, and the actual interests here also attract a lot of attention

~~~~~~~

In fact, there are two major categories of degenerates, one is the scum and poor ghosts who are struggling at the bottom of society, and their behavior is often accompanied by luck and cannot last long;

In countries that can operate stably and have high criminal investigation technical capabilities, it is the most common fate for them to be targeted by the public sector for crimes and then punished by various punishments;

In those countries that can operate stably, but their technical strength is relatively or extremely low, even if they are lucky enough not to enter or escape the punishment of the legal network, most of the time they still can't make any big waves, and can only spend their lives as perverted criminals who are discovered or undiscovered, or die in the middle of their lives for various other reasons;

And in those chaotic countries, quietly dying in a corner that no one knows is also the most common end of the road

The other type is different, although it is also undoubtedly and even more filthy scum on the inside, but at the same time it is also a higher scum with a certain social status;

This kind of guy is used to maintaining a sanctimonious appearance, and at the same time, he also has a certain high authority, so he can always continue the evil for a longer time, more extensive, and deeper than the previous one.

Among the depraved wise eaters, these higher dross, or potentially higher dross, are the key to generating high profits;

Because they generally think very highly of themselves, they have the conditions and the will to do all kinds of exquisiteness that seem unnecessary to the bottom;

For example, they are willing to decorate their sins with rituals and mysteries, and they are willing to pay for some paradoxical packaged in ideas

Naturally, therefore, these scum have entered the field of vision of more depraved and powerful individuals or forces, and the network of potential or existing wisdom eaters as the object of cultivation and service has also been carefully woven one after another by these individuals or forces.

Later, with the passage of time, and from all aspects of black, white and gray, or for the purpose of fighting crime, or for the purpose of competition, the network that still exists today has been very perfect, with high-end services, rare and varied ingredients, and a high degree of concealment.

As a result, based on the concept of self-contained cuisine, with the perfect service and the best processing methods, even the evil act itself seems to have become much more elegant, and thus attracts customers who know exactly where they are through different channels.

As a result, it includes the capture, breeding, finishing, and serving of ingredients, as well as customer identity protection, security assurance, and convenient access, as well as the purchase channels of service parties, gaming networks, medical treatment, armaments, food, and venue support;

Such as so on, directly or indirectly across the black, white and gray industrial chain, it slowly entered maturity in the deep darkness of several sides;

The service terminal is like the source of depravity, emitting a rancid stench from the outside world through the constant arrival of visitors, and thus entering the monitoring horizon of the space guard.

~~~~~~

There are huge cities located a little further away from the hunting grounds, and although there are few people or vehicles in the spacious streets inside, the interiors of the luxurious buildings are full of activity.

Among the walkers inside and outside the building, all the people you can see are figures in the black fog, walking alone or in groups of three or five walking in different areas.

These walkers generally have extremely similar sizes, but this is not because they all have the same racial origin, but because the black fog on the surface of the body confuses the judgment of the gaze, making it impossible to determine the race from the outline of the body, let alone obtain information from it to clarify their specific identities.

In addition, the communication that took place within the small groups was apparently not leaked, so the whole city was in a rather eerie state of silence;

Even if there are occasional voices, such as between city workers and visitors, or between different groups of visitors;

All you can hear is a standard lingua franca with a similar voice, not even the slightest pronunciation habit of lingua franca from different civilizations, and it is easy to know that this is not a language that they have uttered themselves.

Obviously, this is a city that is countless times more private than the black market, and it is very likely that the affairs that cannot be brought to the table can be carried out with such a degree of privacy to be carried out with peace of mind.

Elsewhere in the city, what's going on at this time is aside

At least one of the buildings in the middle of the building was now lined with rooms large and small, with three or four customers sitting around in the black fog, and at least only one customer who was also haunted by the black fog alone.

They seemed to be waiting for something, and after a few moments, the waiter with a friendly smile on his face seemed to bring what they were waiting for—a table with integrated medical support functions.

Since it is a dining table, there should be matching food, and it is not anything else that is placed as food, it is the survivors of the hundreds of battle royales before;

Obviously, what awaits them after receiving perfect treatment is not a fate favor, but a tragic situation that can be called a tragic situation at this moment.

~~~~~~~

At this moment, in a guest room in the giant city, the diners sat quietly alone in front of the desk under the black fog, and did not make any movement when the waiter entered with the table.

"Hello dear sir, Elbaan the Despised will take care of your needs at all times."

Elbaan was not hidden in the black fog, and the customers in the hall could clearly see his body structure and facial features, and also briefly looked at the guy who was about to serve him.

Similar to the upper body of an erect creature, it has a skull structure with many sensory aperture integrated into the head, and is characterized by a sapient creature with at least sight, hearing, and smell, but its respective breadth and depth range cannot be judged;

In the lower body, it is a horizontal and straight soft body structure like a big snail, and the abdomen that is close to the ground will have a clear sense of peristalsis when walking;

Fortunately, on the whole, its body is not sticky and wet, but has a relatively dry surface skin and muscle layer, and although the belly floor that is close to the ground is very similar to a snail in terms of proportion, it seems to have a snake-like forward principle when walking.

In addition, in addition to the upper arms with seven fingers attached, there are 18 long tentacles spreading outward from the middle back of the lower body, and it seems that it also has the functional characteristics similar to those of the arms in terms of the bifurcation structure and agility of the apex.

The customer felt somewhat familiar with this form, and quickly remembered a similar race in the river system, but in his memory it seemed to be a slimy race with amphibious characteristics, a kind of guy who could leave a trail of slime on every walk, and there were obviously many differences from the one in front of him.

But this is obviously not a big deal, and the customer only speculates that he may be a modified individual, and after confirming that he does not carry slime with him when serving, he does not think much about it;

After all, I'm here today to try new things and seek excitement, not to do some biological research.

~~~~~~

Elbaan carefully disinfected his entire body in front of the customer, and then put on a pair of intimate 'gloves' for both arms and the tips that were scheduled to be used in the 18 tentacles.

Later, he used the rest of his tentacles to control the various functions of the table, while introducing the characteristics of the ingredients to the first-time diners

"Born and raised in the Lisaian civilization, he has been fed with orthodox Lisaian food in the civilization since he was a child, and has lived a normal Lisaian life, and he is still an excellent person with a high level of knowledge and a history of adapting to sports."

During the introduction, the closed medical table on the side slowly opened, revealing the humanoid natural armored intelligent creature inside, which was what Elbaan called the 'Lisaiah Wisdom Seed'.

It is more than 4 meters tall, and its silver-white scale armor is stretched out by the bottom muscles, and it is clear at a glance that it should be a very powerful individual.

It is true that this race is known for its relatively strong flesh, and although its level of science and technology is not among the top of the council members, it is not backward at the same time, and belongs to the group that can be included in the middle class.

But at this moment, the intelligent individuals from the main race of such a civilization are in a state of sleep with their eyes closed in the connection of various conduits.

After the general introduction, Elbaan began to wave his tentacles that held different utensils at the tip, and began to perform his flowing slicing technique for customers;

At the same time, there is a gentle lingua franca from his mouth.

"Lisaiah is a strong, intelligent species, and generally has a very rich emotional thinking ability, you see here."

The advanced particle flow blade sliced through the scales and flesh, revealing the fist-sized tumor inside, and Elbaan pointed at it, saying,

"This is the third center of the thoracic cavity, which is responsible for responding to and processing the excitement of killing, in addition to being in charge of the function of the viscera in some areas."

Another tentacle approached, and with the tool on it that was specifically aimed at soft targets, it accurately slice a small piece, and then loaded it into a delicate dinner plate and sent it to the black mist;

Then he went on to say again,

"The carnage you just experienced is not gone, and even the afterglow of this moment can be used to create the most classic flavor, you can try it. When eaten raw, this is the best appetizer option. ”

The figure in the black mist tasted as he said, and only nodded in approval after a while, and responded with an inaudible mechanical voice,

"That's good, you can continue."

"Thank you for the compliment, next is this part of the abdomen center that is one finger deep outside the abdomen"

In his mouth, what parts will become delicious because of hope, which parts will become firm in what movement, and where will become tender in fear, where is suitable for raw food, where is suitable for low-temperature slow roasting, and so on, these are all very clear;

And even more than just the ingredients in front of him, when the customer sent the various parts of the different treatments to the black mist to taste, Elbaan would occasionally mention the taste of the other kinds of ingredients, so that the inexperienced diner in front of him could look forward to his next visit.

While the two occasionally communicate back and forth, Elbaan always has some of his mind and tentacles, paying attention to the platform and the corresponding screen on the other side of the table, which is the healing and life-sustaining function of the ingredients.

Under Elbaan's two-way simultaneous control, there are constantly wounded and delicate wounds on the bottom of the hand that are quickly healed, even when important organ components in the chest and abdominal cavity are removed, there are appropriate mechanical or biological bionic structures that can complete the temporary replacement;

All in all, thanks to its strong knife skills and surgical skills, customers can always taste the most delicious food

~~~~~~~~~

"Next, I'm going to give you a relatively special part."

Towards the end of the meal, Elbaan manipulated his tentacles to cut open the top of the skull, and introduced to the first of the three tumors,

"This is one of the main centers, and most of their powerful visual abilities depend on it, and they are also responsible for processing the emotions associated with visual information;"

"Therefore, it is impossible to experience the best taste of the part in a deep sleep, so I will first awaken the consciousness of the ingredients and present to you the special flavor that can only be produced under the backdrop of shock and despair;"

"The main point is to start from the secondary point as much as possible, and at the same time rely on medical means to prolong the time of thinking clearly, supplemented by neurological stimulation to simulate more scenarios"

"The result of this series of operations is the richest taste level experience that will be presented to you in the end."

As he spoke, Elbaan began to perform a series of extremely precise operations on the medical side, and the ingredients in his mouth began to change at this point;

Obviously, whether it is coma, awakening, or even the feeling of pain, the ingredients are actually under the control of Elbaan and the medical system.

And in such a situation, if there is no obvious change in the status quo, the Lisaiah species will not have a chance to escape its impending fate.
