Chapter 0582 – Familiar odor, I want to eat him!

　　”So hungry, want to eat him, eat them all. Make them something in my stomach, make them my sustenance.”

　　The man looked at the sky, at the single scarlet eye hiding in the shadows.

　　”You are looking at me too, aren’t you? Stop hiding, I have seen you all. You are all around me, you look at my body and want to eat me. You all want to eat me too. But why don’t you follow your instincts? What are you afraid of? Come out, come out! Come out, all of you!”

　　The voice grew louder and louder, and the whole street was filled with the hissing of the man, who didn’t fear anything, who didn’t seem to have fear as an emotion at all.

　　Red streets, blood, dripping to the ground.

　　Piles of rotting flesh and moss alleyways, sewer pipes that hid red eyes, and shadows in corners where no light could shine.

　　One by one, strange and horrible-looking things came out from them.

　　It was no longer possible to describe them simply as horrible or frightening. It wasn’t blood, nor was it an aura that could be possessed by simply having killed a lot of people or slaughtered a lot of things.

　　They weren’t people, they simply couldn’t have been turned into people, they should be living right behind the door.

　　They were beings on the other side of the door, monsters that lived in the middle of nightmares, nibbling away at negative energies and feeding on the negative emotions of the living.

　　They have no fixed shape. Different from people. Body limbs. All twisted into incredible angles. If one had to describe it, it was like a corpse that had been crushed under a car at the scene of a car accident and dragged dozens of meters away.

　　They couldn’t be called human, or rather. They had simply taken on the shape of a human as a result of eating away at the negative emotions left behind by too many living people. Possessing the same mind as a human, as well as falling in love with a tasty food like a human.

　　”Wasn’t waiting for me. Did you guys plan this all along. To put me on the table tonight. To make me your main course. I saw your knives and forks at the ready. I saw your greedy eyes. I saw the way you swallowed and saw the knots in your throats quivering with excitement.”

　　The man yelled like a madman and didn’t duck, just stood still waiting for what would surround him.

　　”Do ye think I would be afraid?” The man gently cradled his lover’s head, his expression mesmerized.

　　”I love this feeling, I’m obsessed with death, worship madness, cry and roar in between hysterics. All the things I was afraid to say when I was born can be shouted out. Here I can do anything I like. No more masking, no more hiding. I can make toys out of the limbs of the living, I can lift my own brain and look into my own soul. And then give the person I was as a gift to the person I am now.”

　　”A lot of people think I’m crazy, but really, what does it matter to them if I’m crazy?”

　　”I used to be a doctor, but what good is a doctor who can’t even cure himself?”

　　The head cupped in his hand was slowly lowered, the man’s eyes were filled with blood, he looked at the monster that was getting closer and closer, the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed, the corners of his mouth opened up to both sides, the blood and flesh were torn apart, revealing an extremely terrifying smile.

　　”Right now, I should be considered a gourmet. The greatest hobby is eating, tasting everything in sight, taking all the delicious flavors and stuffing them into my stomach pouch.”

　　A scalp numbing laughter came out from the man’s mouth.

　　He was surrounded by all the monsters, but he didn’t panic at all. It was as if it wasn’t him who was surrounded, but the monsters.

　　”It’s time for my favorite meal again. Hmm, with my current appearance, is it more appropriate to use eating, or is it more appropriate to use feeding? Forget it, they’re both the same. They both result in becoming part of my body.”

　　The man’s tone was morbidly insane, but he was qualified to say this because his strength had also reached an intimidating point.

　　During the time he was talking to himself, the blood-red doctor’s uniform on his body continued to ooze blood outwards.

　　A thick, thick chain made up of countless strands of blood stuck out from his back, turning him into a monster that seemed to have countless giant tails.

　　The blood condensed, and his appearance at this point was thirty to forty percent similar to the giant ghost that he had carved into the door of Chen Ge’s haunted house.

　　”All things in this world are born in opposition to each other, only people are a bit strange, I’ve never been able to guess what is in opposition to people. At one time I thought that what was opposed to people were ghosts, but it wasn’t until I became a ghost that I realized. It turns out that it is not ghosts that are opposed to people, but gods! The God who dominates everything!”

　　A thick chain swept across the entire block.

　　The blood filaments were densely covered, and after touching the ghostly shadows, they kept splitting and exploding. It was as if a poisonous snake with a mind of its own had drilled into their bodies, rooted in their hearts, and crazily drew nourishment from their bodies.

　　Miserable screams and wails resounded in all directions of the street. The bodies of those monsters dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

　　Listening to the wails in his ears, the man let out a loud laugh. As he laughed, the corners of his mouth opened up to the base of his ears. As he laughed, he actually shed tears!

　　But it was as if he didn’t notice at all as he laughed crazily, as if all the pain, all the things that could not be undone could be catharticized from this smile.

　　”It’s not enough, it’s far from enough! I’m not full yet! So hungry, I’m going to eat them all, I’m going to eat all those who want to eat me!”

　　Hysterical laughter once again emanated from his gaping mouth.

　　Blood flowed down the wound, and no one knew exactly what had happened to him here. No one knew why he had become the way he was. But one thing was certain, he was alive, alive in a way that was even more incomprehensible and filled with destruction.

　　Blood stained his teeth as he dragged countless monsters behind him.

　　A chain passed through the bodies of those monsters.

　　He dragged those monsters and ran towards the end of the road.

　　At the corner of the street, there was a charred building.

　　That building was a dozen stories high, and looking in through the broken windows, there was a room in that building where the door wasn’t blood red.

　　Half of it was blood red and half of it was a normal brown color. You know, in this blood-red city, it’s rare to see any other color than black, which represents destruction, red, which is the symbol of blood, and grey, which is the symbol of despair.

　　”Right behind that door, I smell a familiar odor, it smells so good! So much I wanted to eat him! Bite his head little by little, chew on his bones, and savor the true delicacy!”

　　The man dragged countless ghostly shadows and stopped next to the charred building.

　　He tilted his head to look, and at the topmost floor of the building stood a man whose entire body was wrapped in a red coat.

　　That person was towering over him, also sizing up the man in the doctor’s uniform.
