#832 - Chapter 832: The Meat of the Beast
“Ol... Old woman...”
Just as Levis walked into the kitchen full of anticipation, his body couldn't help but tremble.
It could be said that he was already in tears.
Because he really didn't want to see all of this turn into an illusion.
And in fact, what Levis saw was not an illusion.
Because when he walked into the kitchen, he really smelled the aroma of meat soup.
But....
“Ah!”
Accompanied by a panicked scream, the woman whose back looked very much like Levis's wife turned around.
However, when the woman turned around, Levis suddenly realized.
This so-called woman was not his wife at all.
She was his next-door neighbor, Anna!
And then, countless questions surrounded Levis's mind.
Why would she be here?
What was she doing in his kitchen?
Why was she screaming at him?
Moreover, why was there meat in his kitchen during these difficult times?
With all sorts of questions, Levis turned his head.
And at that moment, Levis finally saw the so-called truth.
The meat soup was real.
The woman was also real.
All of this was real.
But....
In the dim kitchen, Levis clearly saw.
Two seven- or eight-year-old boys living next door were standing on the bloody floor, cutting up a corpse according to the instructions of their neighbor Anna.
And this corpse was his wife, who had just died!
In an instant, Levis understood everything.
They were eating people!
“You... Anna... you....”
Levis's fingers were trembling frantically.
For a moment, Levis couldn't believe his brain, believe that everything he saw was real!
In his impression, Anna had always been a gentle and quiet farm woman.
Although she couldn't be considered beautiful, her unique temperament made her very popular throughout the village.
But now...
This gentle woman actually.....
Thump!
Suddenly, the woman named Anna knelt in front of Levis and cried.
“I....”
“I confirmed... confirmed that she was dead before...”
“Only then...”
“Only then did I prepare to eat her!”
Looking at Anna crying in front of him, Levis didn't know what to do for a moment.
“I had no choice but to do this.”
Anna continued to cry.
“If it was just me, I would rather starve to death than do such a thing.”
“But....”
Anna said, walking to the inner area of the kitchen, blocking her thin body in front of her two children.
“But my children, they shouldn't be starved to death!”
“.....”
Looking at the crying Anna, and looking at the two children in her arms, Levis's hand stopped trembling.
Then....
In the horrified eyes of Anna and her two children, Levis walked out of the kitchen.
“....”
“Is that so?”
“Don't want to starve to death.”
Levis sat outside the house with his head down.
The rich aroma of meat was still constantly entering his nostrils.
“I also...”
“I'm so hungry.”
For some reason, a strange sense of anxiety suddenly surged into Levis's heart.
“I really want to eat something.”
But just as Levis was still depressed, a chewing sound suddenly came from the kitchen.
Along with it, there was also the sound of brittle bones being crushed and swallowed in people's mouths.
“Why.”
“Why has this world become like this?”
“Why do people eat each other?”
With such questions, Levis stood up.
But suddenly, a child's laughter came to his ears.
This slight smile completely detonated Levis's thinking.
“!”
“No!”
“People don't eat people!”
“Those things that eat people are definitely not people!”
“I must have heard hallucinations just now!”
“Because that was the laughter of a beast.”
Levis whispered, his eyes red.
“That's right!”
“How could Anna eat people?”
“How could Anna's children eat people!”
“So, what ate my wife's body just now must have been a beast!”
With such crazy thoughts, Levis closed his door and locked it tightly.
Then.....
Levis grabbed the fork in his hand and walked into the house.
“People....”
Accompanied by the children's cries and the woman's desperate roars, Levis waved the fork in his hand.
“Will not kill each other, will not eat each other!”
“But...”
“Beasts will!”
Finally, everything quieted down.
After resting for a while, Levis poured out all the meat soup from before, into the trash can.
Then, a few minutes later, the aroma of meat soup floated out of Levis's kitchen again.
Just that.
This time the meat was the meat of "beasts".
