"45 magic stone shards for lean leg meat, 25 magic stone shards for brain flower!"
"15 magic stone fragments for the large intestine! 10 magic stone fragments for the heart, kidney and lung slices! Fresh humans, kill and sell now! Don't miss it when you pass by!"
…
Weird cries kept ringing in her ears, and Luya sat numbly in the smelly cage, her eyes looked desperate as if she was about to die.
She only remembers that she worked overtime continuously in 996, fell into a coma with angina pectoris on the way home, and when she woke up again, she found herself locked in a room that smelled of feces and meat in this dirty market full of monsters. in the cage.
The stall owner is a humanoid creature with a pig's head, who is chopping bones with a butcher knife, yelling and selling.
The pig butcher meant that he would not start slaughtering her until the vampire buyer for her blood showed up. Luya didn't dare to think about what kind of creature the pile of meat on the stall was. Maybe before she passed through this poor girl's body, another human companion was slaughtered and sold.
Maybe I can travel back after I die, I hope it won't hurt too much when I'm killed. Luya huddled in the corner and thought, when she passed through, she automatically received the memory of the owner of this body. It took her a long time to digest this information—this world is an era where magic and science coexist, and the world view is a bit like those online games she played before time travel.
Her identity is nothing special, she is a girl from an orphanage in an ordinary town in the Astra empire. Such a country girl who didn't go to school doesn't know much about the world, lives a poor life, and is occasionally bullied by a blond girl named Lianna. The blonde girl thought that her biological parents were definitely nobles, and imagined that sooner or later, her parents would pick her up in a luxury car to Gradia, the capital of the empire.
But Lianna's dream failed to come true. Suddenly, one day without warning, the clear sky turned yellow instantly, and a blood-red eye appeared in the sky. Then countless meteorites fell in the city. There are countless monsters.
Since the day when the "Evil Eye of the World" opened, the era of mankind has come to an end.
Except for Gradia, the imperial capital, and several large and prosperous cities, which were protected from damage, the other small and medium-sized towns were almost completely wiped out. Nobles and wealthy businessmen were the first to get the chance to survive. The airships that could go to the imperial capital could not accommodate so many people, and it was hard to get a ticket at that time. In order to ensure that she could escape, Liana stole the ticket money prepared by the nurse in the orphanage for the five children, bribed the soldiers with high prices, got the ticket with five times the money, and ran away alone.
The original owner had to flee with other refugees. Gradually, except for the imperial capital, the protective shields of the bustling cities gradually became unable to withstand the attacks of increasingly powerful monsters, and several fell one after another. Now the imperial capital is full of people, and it no longer accepts refugees, and it will soon become the last refuge of mankind.
The owner of the body failed to enter Gradia, and lived with a group of wandering mercenaries who could not get the protection of the imperial capital in a world full of monsters. Three years have passed in a flash, and I heard that the crown prince of the empire, Zelos Aguiros Gayast, intends to lead his troops to attack and use the latest high-tech weapons invented by the empire to fight against those monsters and take back the human world.
Not long after I heard the news, the mercenary group where the original owner was located was attacked by monsters, most of the members died, and some people ran away, and she also fell into the hands of the monsters, becoming one of the upcoming mercenaries in this market. The flesh man being sold.
It's not even so miserable to wear a book to abuse...
Although she likes watching post-apocalyptic novels and zombie movies to pass the time, it doesn't mean she wants to enter this kind of world in person... Well, there are no zombies, but it's not much better, they are all going to be eaten anyway...
Luya buried her head in her knees. People would numb their senses when they were desperate. What's more, she didn't dare to look directly at every creature in this weird market—she hadn't seen it in horror movies. The horrible creatures that had passed, and all of them could speak human language, picking and choosing and bargaining at her as if they were shopping for vegetables.
"Isn't this female human being too skinny? How many catties of flesh is it? It's not enough to fit between the teeth."
A creature with a leopard head stared at Luya's thin body up and down, its saliva dripped on the ground, and it made the sound of grinding its teeth from time to time, "I don't like skin and internal organs."
"The skin can be sold to me. I am looking for a girl's skin to make a new skin."
Another skeleton man with a voice like an old woman also stared at Luya in the cage, full of covetousness.
Lu Ya trembled all over, still, do you still want to be skinned? This is too painful... Can't I give it a happy one? What kind of world is this, where the hell has she come
"A vampire has just placed an order with me to buy the blood of this human girl. When the dinner is over, they will send servants with tools to draw the blood. After the blood is drawn, they can be slaughtered."
The pig butcher snorted and said, "Those vampires are gourmets. The number of human beings has dropped sharply since the beginning of the Dark Age. The girl caught this time is not polluted by miasma. It is a rare good. Her blood is worth a whole The magic stone, if collected in advance, will affect the taste, vampires are definitely not willing."
"The skin loses its elasticity after being drawn blood by a vampire, so it can only be fried and sold to goblins."
The old skeleton woman yelled in dissatisfaction, her voice filled her ears like a devil's voice, and the noise made the pig butcher feel irritable. But she didn't want to spend 2 full magic stones to buy the whole girl, so she spat at the pig butcher's stall angrily, and left cursing.
"I want to buy some raw flesh and blood, and let those vampires save some for me."
The leopard head was still squatting in front of the pig butcher's booth, making a grunting sound from its throat, as if it was full of patience.
Luya felt a churn in her stomach when she heard those bargains that seemed to be talking about livestock. Of course, this thin body probably hadn't eaten for a long time. The pig butcher seemed confident that she would be able to sell her before the dinner began. There was no thought of giving her food either. Now she is hungry and thirsty, and she is exhausted and weak. She doesn't know if she can live until the dinner party starts, maybe if she dies earlier, she won't have to suffer that kind of pain.
Even so, the strong desire to survive made her raise her hand, and asked the pig butcher weakly, "Can I have some water? Clean water..."
"What? You want water? No."
The pig butcher snorted twice. He had sold many human beings at his stall, and it wasn't like no one had asked him for it.
The master who brought him into this line once told him not to listen to any requests from humans, because humans are cunning and cannot be trusted. Once you listen to them, it's easy to fall into their trap. They will try their best to trick you and escape.
He still remembered that when he was delivering the goods, there was a young human in the cage who said that he was the third prince of the empire, and he was willing to send a hundred living people in exchange for him, giving him countless treasures, even precious treasures. The red crystal stone, as long as he can let himself go.
The pig butcher didn't bother to pay any attention to him, and chopped off his head directly on the cutting board. Because the human being was very handsome, the necromancer took his head as a collection, and made him a lot of money.
He was able to run the human flesh business safely and smoothly for so many years because he never listened to human requests.
Seeing the indifferent look of the pig butcher, Lu Ya secretly groaned. She knew that these monsters would not care about anything other than profit, as long as the goods were not dead before they were shipped.
If she wants to achieve her goal, she must directly hit the place that the other party cares most about.
Luya was so thirsty, she licked her dry, chapped lips, and said pretendingly, "Give me some water, it can reduce the concentration of my blood, and when the vampire comes, you can draw more blood. The more blood, the more magic stones you earn."
"..."
The pig butcher paused for a moment. He thought about whether there was a trap in Luya's words. If he just drank some water, it seemed that there was no danger? But he remembered his master's teaching, don't talk to humans, don't respond to humans, let alone satisfy their demands. The pig butcher shook his head, banged the cage with a butcher knife and threatened, "Meat people are not allowed to make demands!"
This pig-headed man seems to be out of his mind—he can't communicate at all!
The girl in the cage shrank back in fright, but some other monsters in the market seemed to be reluctant. Although they would also buy cut human flesh, they were still very dissatisfied with this behavior, which was abuse.
A female orc with a cub passing by looked at Luya in the cage, and the cub immediately burst into tears: "Mom, that villain is so miserable! I don't want to watch murder!"
"It's a meat man. If you don't eat it, you will be eaten by other monsters."
"Then can we buy her? I want to raise a villain!"
"No, no, your father and uncles will be angry if they find out, they will torture that meat man and then tear her up and eat her... And we don't have that many magic stones."
The female orc reluctantly persuaded her cub, but the cub refused to let go, crying and saying that she would not eat people, so the female orc had to say to the pig butcher, "I'm going to kill her, so what if I give her saliva to drink? "
The pig butcher snorted, still ignored the female orc, and "snapped" the knife into the bloody cutting board. The female orc didn't want to cause trouble, so she dragged the crying and fussy child away.
Despite hearing the terrifying conversation between the orcs, Luya discovered something a little unexpected.
In this doomsday world occupied by monsters, some intelligent monsters seem to have developed order and sympathy similar to humans, but humans are no different from domestic animals to them.
Of course, if it was bought by orcs and tortured, she would rather have a good time now. This world is so desperate, she has nowhere to escape, and death is an instant thing, she doesn't know if she has the courage to live.
Thinking of this, Luya shrank again. Her body was thin and small, and she had no strength. There was basically no hope of escaping in this kind of place.
She closed her eyes, quietly waiting for her impending death in the cage.
Then she heard the breathing of the giant creature, step by step from far to near. The leopard head, who was waiting to cut the meat in front of the stall, instinctively sensed the danger and ran away in the blink of an eye. The dirty and noisy trading market for monsters suddenly became quiet, and all the monsters looked nervously at the behemoth.
The heavy footsteps finally stopped in front of the pig butcher's stall.
Luya swallowed subconsciously. She knew that even if she was afraid, she couldn't escape. She nervously opened her eyes slowly and raised her head, only to see a huge amber vertical pupil full of shocking power, pointing straight at the ground. gaze at her.
The author has something to say: A pit has been opened! Please leave a message! But in fact, I was in Thailand these days, and the manuscripts were automatically released.
Then explain the worldview first:
In the era of magic science, the continental plate of the world is divided into two halves.
The half where the heroine lives is the Astra Empire, where the technological development is relatively high, and the skill tree is all focused on black technology.
The other half is the Grandi Continent that believes in the God of Light, a theocratic country. There are spoilers involved here, so I won’t go into details, and I will write about it later.
After the end of the world, the heroine should have been caught while fleeing after her town was breached. Everyone has to run to the capital, because only the capital has opened the barrier... The scientists are also in the capital, and the capital will send some troops to destroy the monsters, or launch a campaign to regain the territory.
At present, the population of the imperial capital is saturated, and the refugees are not allowed to enter.
Probably such a background~
The heroine grows into a trend, and she is relaxed and sand sculpted to build infrastructure~ Don't worry about jumping into the pit without abuse at all
