Real 'food'
Jason smiled.
"If what you're talking about is the smell that's been contaminated and left on your body..."
"I am glad to."
Jason said so.
Hannibal's eyes lit up.
"really!"
"Jason you know 'them' too."
He said, and let out a low laugh.
Amid such laughter, Hannibal sat down across from Jason, crossing his hands and resting on his chin.
"In October PY81, a huge phantom appeared in the 'Lanqiao Blockade Battle', which spanned the entire battlefield and lasted for 20 seconds. More than 4,000 people witnessed it. Afterwards, everyone died one after another within a week. Both sides remained silent."
"In January of PY82, the attacking side of the 'Golden Blitz' suddenly heard a sound of unknown meaning. More than half of the entire division suffered casualties, and the remaining half went crazy. They died one after another in the next six months.
"In April PY83, the defensive side of the 'Battle of Recapturing Dolburg' disappeared at night, leaving only clothes, weapons, and supplies. The attackers checked and found nothing."
"In June of PY84, the offensive and defensive sides of the 'Siege of Sheldon' found that the shells fired during the daytime were missing. At night, the shells fell and hit the city, causing heavy losses to the defenders."
"In September of PY85, every war in the 'Thirty-Three Days Protracted War' was accompanied by accidents. The number of missing persons increased every day, and strange incidents continued to occur. In the end, the 'Silver Federation' and the 'Blackstone Alliance' signed an armistice agreement."
"Two months later, a large-scale plague broke out in the 'Black Market Alliance', and the high-level officials of the 'Silver Federation' continued to disappear."
"At the end of 1985, everything stopped, and the two sides seemed to find a strange pattern."
"At the beginning of PY86, there was a large-scale disarmament on both sides, and Captain Jason of the 'Silver Federation' returned to his hometown of Decheng."
Hannibal's voice was neither high nor low, speaking at a neither fast nor slow pace.
As he spoke, he looked at Jason.
When he found that Jason was indifferent from the beginning to the end, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Jason, you're healed."
"It seems that the advice I gave you is effective."
"When you can't understand that stuff, taste it."
As Hannibal said, he lowered his supporting hands and leaned back.
"It is exactly what I have done."
"I knew from a young age that I was different."
"I lost my parents, my sister in the war, all in one day."
"I was adopted by a distant relative. She was not a good adopter, but she taught me enough things. I am very grateful to her, and I subconsciously want to taste her taste."
"pity… "
"She is far less charming than these incomprehensible things."
"How can those mortals understand the delicacy of these things?"
"You just need to add a little bit, and its flavor will come out."
After finishing speaking, Hannibal stood up abruptly, supporting his body, his face approached Jason in an instant, and the distance between the two sides was less than 10 centimeters.
The psychiatrist's eyes were fixed on Jason.
"Would you like to taste them?"
Hannibal asked word by word.
Jason didn't dodge anything.
In the same serious tone, he replied again:
"hurry up."
"I can not wait any more."
Goo.
While speaking, Jason, who smelled the faint scent of 'food' again, began to roar in his stomach.
It seems that the lamb chops I just ate just don't exist.
No.
It does exist.
He can also feel the slightest smell of mutton.
But his stomach was already empty.
"Even in the face of death?"
Hannibal asked again.
"Death has never been a hindrance to me."
"The inability to eat 'food' is."
Jason replied.
"follow me."
"I'll show you around my real 'restaurant'."
After Hannibal finished speaking, he got up and stood up.
He walked towards the huge freezer.
Moved the storage box in the freezer slightly—
Click!
Amidst the sound of mechanical rotation, a downward passage appeared.
Hannibal walked in first.
Jason followed.
The downward passage is extremely narrow at the beginning, and only then can it pass through people, and when it continues forward, it suddenly becomes clear, and there is no universe.
A space similar to the above-ground buildings appears here.
Compared with the decoration inside the building on the ground, this place is really simple.
Apart from the dining table and chairs, it is kitchen utensils.
The whole set of the kitchen on the ground is completely reproduced here.
However, the most attractive thing is the freezer here.
No!
Should be an ice room.
The huge door, like the anti-theft door of the vault, has a round steering wheel.
A bit of cold air escaped from behind the door.
But Jason kept shaking his nose.
He smelled the aroma of food.
It is the aroma of many kinds of food.
Just behind the ice room door.
Blocked by the heavy door, the smell is very weak, but it really exists.
Hannibal couldn't help laughing when he saw Jason's appearance.
similar.
true kind.
Not those posers.
And not the novelty-seekers, either.
It's not even those who don't know what to say and agree with him.
are of the same kind.
Him, the real kind.
He finally found someone like him.
As a psychiatrist, Hannibal immediately recognized Jason's true feelings.
That's something ordinary people can't fake.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
With an excited smile, Hannibal spun the wheel.
Click!
With the sound of the machine spring, the door of the ice room opened.
Suddenly, a strong fragrance rushed out, filling the entire basement.
Jason couldn't help taking a breath.
He stared at the door of the ice room.
When the door was completely opened, Jason's eyes shone with a real light.
A variety of 'food' is placed in an ice room with hundreds of square meters.
Both hideous and terrifying.
There are also mediocre ones.
But no matter what.
All so delicious and tempting.
At this moment, Jason suspected that he had come to heaven!
He wished he could pounce on and eat these 'foods' right away, but he didn't forget that these 'foods' didn't belong to him.
"Can I taste them?"
Jason turned his head to Hannibal and asked.
"certainly!"
Hannibal nodded.
However, he did not forget to remind Jason.
"They were originally for entertaining friends."
"However, Jason, you have to pay attention, the body of ordinary people can't bear more special food, you can only eat a little bit at a time, not more than one gram, but even this gram will make your body extremely painful, You need to be patient and adapt, and after dozens of repetitions, you can really taste the sweetness and beauty of these foods... "
Jason couldn't hear such words at all, hunger filled his brain.
He picked up the nearest 'Pusac Elf' that he had eaten, and threw it into his mouth.
The frozen 'Pusac Elf' is a bit like ice cream.
But even smoother.
Then, he stepped towards a wild boar-like monster with sharp teeth that was three people tall, and opened his mouth to tear off the opponent's front legs.
While nibbling, Jason, whose hunger subsided slightly, raised his head to look at Hannibal who was stunned.
"what did you just say?"
