The food smelled somewhat normal, but the moment it touched my tongue, a terrible feeling rose within me. My stomach churned violently, and I felt like vomiting up my own stomach acid.
It wasn't that it tasted bad or anything, but rather that his body simply couldn't accept it. To him, these things were almost like sulfuric acid.
"Damn…" He hugged a rusty handcart, his muscles tense, his whole body trembling violently. Human food entering his body was like being poured with corrosive medicine; Ren Yifei curled up, clutching himself on the ground in pain, panting heavily.
His fingers gripped the ground, his sharp nails leaving marks on the marble floor.
A fingernail broke off, bleeding and attracting a small monster from the shadows.
However, the Scarlet Witch in her painful state was exceptionally noticeable; the little monsters crawled around her, but none dared to approach.
After a while, the wound on my finger healed, but a piece of my nail was missing.
At this moment, his corroded stomach and intestines seemed to have recovered. He slowly sat up and stared blankly at the human food on the table.
My body was still in a state of exhaustion, my fingertips were trembling, and I couldn't hold anything.
The hostility and pain of his environment pierced him like needles; he realized how agonizing it was to live as a monster. How had the Scarlet Witch managed to survive alone in this world for the past two years?
In previous instances, aside from physical attributes, other physical conditions were based on the player's actual situation. For example, when he became Crane Lord, he possessed the regenerative abilities of a great demon, but his strength and perception were still based on Ren Yifei's actual situation.
At that time, he didn't feel any problem with food, but this time...
So, does eating habits also depend on the role you play?
Or is it that food is an important characteristic of this character, and therefore cannot be changed?
Human food is completely unacceptable; considering the Scarlet Witch's hunting habits, her food is most likely monsters. Ren Yifei stood up, his calm expression now carrying a chilling coldness.
It's time to hunt.
The sun quietly buried itself in the sea, the waves gently hummed a lament, and the sky was a deep blue-purple.
The streets outside were quiet, but a thick fog had begun to spread, and humans retreated into the darkness, while the cheerful sounds of monsters echoed from every corner.
The world is slowly entering another bizarre and fantastical monster kingdom.
Ren Yifei, dressed in red, walked onto the street, his long hair blowing in the breeze.
The red cloak clashed terribly with the dim background.
On his first day there, Ren Yifei considered changing the cloak. The color was too bright, and it was a bit too small for him. It might have fit him two years ago, but now his wrists were showing.
But it was this cloak that saved him last night, protecting him from a hail of arrows.
Two years ago, Scarlet Witch escaped from the laboratory as an experimental subject, so it was impossible for the researchers to prepare such clothing for her. However, after escaping, she acquired this cloak, which fit perfectly, had special functions, and was clearly very valuable.
It's as if it's there to protect someone else.
Based on the NPC's description, Ren Yifei knew that the 'Scarlet Witch' was a very intelligent monster with strong comprehension, with an IQ similar to that of an ordinary person, and perhaps even a knowledge level close to that of a human. It was impossible for her not to know that red would bring more danger.
Furthermore, the Scarlet Witch was very clean, and her hair was washed frequently. She must have often taken off her cloak to clean herself. This shows that she had a concept of 'hygiene'.
However, he still chose to wear it, which means that the Scarlet Witch chose it.
Ren Yifei found a pendant on the chest of the red cloak: a small bronze sieve with more than ten miniature items, including books, pens, abacuses, and scissors.
This thing is called a hundred-eye sieve. It's popular in the south and is a protective item prepared for children.
"This hundred-eyed sieve has been rubbed smooth as a mirror by skin. Does the Scarlet Witch often touch it?" His fingers traced the special ornament, which represented blessings and protection.
Who will Scarlet Witch think of?
Who protected him? Who blessed him?
Little monster, were you really born a monster?
As the thick fog at the beach gradually dissipated, the ethereal images on the sea appeared and disappeared. Ren Yifei didn't know why he loved coming to the beach so much; perhaps it was to witness the vastness of the sea.
In the thick fog, a huge monster peeked out, its long tail gracefully swishing across the water's surface, as if it had just taken a breath before sinking back down.
Suddenly, a gray rain began to fall from the sky, a flurry of gray, willow-like fluff, or like volcanic ash covering the sky, but it disappeared as soon as it touched the ground or one's body.
The little monsters that came into contact with the gray mist rain had their eyes turn red, and they crawled around restlessly.
Perhaps the monsters' stronghold lies beyond the thick fog.
Today he was still standing on the deck of the restaurant ship, and a new guest had arrived on the deck—something that looked like a conch shell.
One by one, they crawled out of the water, their backs spewing mud from tiny volcanoes, their octopus-like tentacles clinging tightly to the ship's deck. They were so numerous that they almost swallowed the ship whole.
The fresh food attracted more predators. Several mermaids sat on the deck of the boat, cracking open their shells and eating meat. Ren Yifei watched for a while, then cracked open a shell and took out the meat inside.Department Store
The sticky flesh writhed and twisted on his fingertips, its tiny tentacles opening and closing, emitting tiny squeals.
Ren Yifei put the thing in his mouth while completely suppressing his disgust.
A second passed.
Two seconds passed.
Three seconds... Ugh.
He knelt down, his hands bracing against the ground as if he were about to vomit bile. The merfolk who were eating were startled and kept their distance from him.
Ren Yifei drifted away like a ghost.
A new monster has appeared on the walls of skyscrapers. It is composed of countless naked human bodies, facing upwards and joined head to tail to form a giant centipede. Its hands and feet are twisted in the opposite direction and crawling around on the ground.
But neither their smiling faces nor their bodies could attract his attention, nor could the eyeball-like balloons floating in the air.
Ren Yifei walked silently, his fingers tracing scratch marks on the wall.
The desire to eat controlled him, and the will to survive filled him with aggression.
"Captain, it's a gray rainy day, and the monsters are all restless. Should we continue?"
They had devised a complete plan to hunt the Scarlet Witch, but then they were caught in a gray rain – what bad luck! Everyone in the hunting party thought so.
The hunting team leader assessed the situation: "Continue with the plan."
The monster cub in the lab is going there this month; they must find the Scarlet Witch.
This wasn't just a matter for one family or one household; it was a matter for the entire base. Others might not understand the importance of this matter, but he understood it perfectly well.
Recalling the Scarlet Witch's escape two years ago, the hunting party captain exhaled a breath of stale air: "My momentary leniency back then has led to the current situation."
Meanwhile, the other players also began to venture out and explore. They managed to obtain a small quantity of odor-eliminating agents using their own methods, with one agent providing the effect for an entire night.
"Something's not right today." The players had already noticed the gray rain.
Inside were gray, wispy, fluffy things, and any monsters that came into contact with them became frenzied, as if they had all been given a 'rage' buff.
On the other hand, this gray rain and fog also severely reduced the range of human perception, with visibility reduced to only three meters.
"This kind of rain seems to reduce our mobility." The skin that comes into direct contact with the gray fluff becomes stiff.
"Quickly put on your hats, raincoats, or something." The players who noticed something was wrong acted quickly, putting on hats, masks, and goggles.
It is very effective, with only one side effect: their sensory range is more limited and their movements become sluggish.
Ren Yifei was also slightly affected by the 'rage'. He had some resistance to such out-of-control emotions, so he remained quite clear-headed.
This time, however, he chose to let himself go, allowing his bloodlust to flow through his body, and his eyes turned red.
The Scarlet Witch is a monster, and no monster is calm and restrained, no matter how human-like it may seem.
He possesses more animal instincts and ferocity.
This strange gray mist and rain can just ignite a bit of primal wildness.
Gradually, they forget that they were once human, give up some of the things attached to human education, such as morality and cognition, and unleash more of their animalistic nature.
Like a wolf child raised in the mountains, their eyes and actions are etched with the DNA of a hunter.
He must hunt, obtain more food, and survive!Department Store
"It's the Scarlet Witch!" The players and NPCs, who were being chased and fleeing in a sorry state by the crazed little monsters, pointed at Ren Yifei.
Ren Yifei stood at the street corner, his red clothes fluttering against the gray background, his messy black hair framed a pair of hunter-like eyes.
One player spotted him immediately.
A speck of gold appeared amidst the gray drifting fluff, landing on Ren Yifei, causing a sharp sting on the back of his hand. Ren Yifei looked down; there was nothing on the back of his hand.
"We succeeded!" the former player exclaimed with delight.
The former team member had been lurking near the official hunting team, and as soon as a corner of red appeared in the gray fog and rain, he took action.
As an assassin, he has his own unique advantages, such as this amazing tracking skill. Blood-stained arrows, a range of 100 meters, and a confirmed target—these three elements combined are enough for him to lock onto a target.
Black rabbits are harder to find than ghosts; a collective effort is necessary. Former teammates firmly believed this.
Since the authorities have been emphasizing the 'Scarlet Witch,' could we use her as a springboard to temporarily gain the authority of the management and investigate the Black Rabbit?
The former team member wanted to try this route.
Another gust of gray cotton-like rain blew by, whistling past. When they opened their eyes again, the Scarlet Witch was nowhere to be seen.
"Damn it!" The players were furious.
Only the former teammates weren't disappointed at all; they hoped the monster could escape tonight. The best time to act would be during the daytime of the following day.
News of the Scarlet Witch's appearance quickly spread among the hunting party, and the hunting team leader immediately perked up: "The target has arrived, proceed according to plan."
With so many little monsters bothering us, and this continuous drizzle of gray cotton, how can we catch the Scarlet Witch?
"Blood."
The Scarlet Witch is called the Scarlet Witch not only because she wears a scarlet cloak, but also because she is bloodthirsty. She eats nothing but blood.
The hunting party nearly caught him several times, using blood as bait. Of course, not human blood; if it were, the other monsters would have rioted.
The hunting party was indeed well-prepared. They threw out the monster blood they had prepared beforehand, scattering it randomly in several places where the Scarlet Witch often stayed, and also set traps.
Six locations, six traps. The hunting team leader held the walkie-talkie and waited quietly.
The free hunter cursed inwardly upon seeing the hunting party's movements. But it was too late to prepare monster blood, and cutting his own blood was absolutely out of the question.
"Wait a minute, let's see if we can snatch it away."
Today's gray, cotton-like rain was so heavy, like a thick fog, that it not only obscured the form but also confused the smells. Ren Yifei did not immediately smell blood.
They waited a while, but the monster's blood didn't attract the Scarlet Witch; instead, it lured other smaller monsters, throwing the hunting party into disarray. The others seized the opportunity to steal some of the bait the hunting party had brought.
"I'm so hungry..."
After a long time, the smell of blood finally reached Ren Yifei's location.
Suddenly, a strong, mixed smell of blood filled the air, and Ren Yifei, who was already starving, suddenly had an intense appetite. His eyes turned pigeon blood red and shone brightly.
I want to eat, I'm so hungry, I want to eat.
Two thoughts raced through his mind, and he finally learned what the Scarlet Witch's recipe was—blood.
Bright red, warm liquid flowing within a living body.
My teeth on both sides are slightly itchy, and my canines are sticking out, revealing two white tips.
