Chapter 1: Vegetable Man

Chapter 1: Vegetable Man
He felt severe pain all over his body, had a splitting headache, his mouth was full of blood, and his stomach was about to burst... These were all what Li Yu felt at the moment.

At first he thought it was just a nightmare, but gradually, the reality of each feeling intensified, madly ravaging and tormenting his soul.

Finally, he opened his eyes in a trance, and the next moment, he saw his incredible situation:

This was an old brick and mud room. In front of him was a greasy, rough and dirty wooden table. The tabletop was almost stacked and filled with a large number of bowls and plates. It was a mess with leftovers, greasy grease that had cooled down and mixed with crumbs covering everything.

And on the ground, there were two miserable and tattered corpses lying.

A male corpse, with his chest and breasts exposed, ugly, with a wide nose, a rotten mouth, and covered in grease, looks very much like a pork seller who has been busy on the chopping board all year round. Now there are claw marks all over his body, and his belly has been cut open, with greasy intestines all over the floor.

The other female corpse was fat and strong, with a thick layer of powder on her face and rouge on her cheeks. She wore a green top and a red skirt. She was not beautiful at all, but rather vulgar and fierce. Her death was better, as if her neck had been broken.

His own situation wasn't much better.

He was actually placed in a large water vat, soaked in some kind of dark, cold, sticky liquid. His limbs were broken, at least half of his bones were shattered, and he could not move below his neck. He was forced to smell the disgusting odor in the room.

At the same time, fragments of horrific and thrilling images flashed back in my mind:

The first one was the dead pork seller on the ground. He was still alive and kept grabbing all kinds of weird and smelly raw food from the bowls and plates and stuffing them into his mouth. His movements were extremely rough, and meat scraps flew everywhere and juice splashed everywhere.

While stuffing his mouth, he kept mumbling:

"Good boy, eat more and eat more."

"Good son, take one more bite, just one more bite."

"Good boy, just be patient. When the forbidden egg in your belly hatches, you will become the son of the forbidden god. Then not only will you be able to live forever, but your parents will also be able to eat your flesh, and you will be officially promoted to a [vegetable person]."

"By then, our family will have a good life. Don't be ungrateful. These foods are rare. You know how hard your parents worked to collect them."

"In this Wanfu City, if you can't become a transcendent, you'll live a life worse than pigs and dogs. Whether your parents can make it or not depends entirely on you."

These words were shocking enough to make Li Yu stunned.

But what was even more horrifying was the female corpse, who was dancing wildly and chanting a horror verse that seemed to be adapted from a poem.

At the beginning, just listen to:

"In the year of great famine, people sold themselves as meat in the market and were called vegetable people..."

The subsequent words were unclear, but every sentence was like a red-hot iron skewer piercing into the original body's skull and stirring it continuously, which made him have an endless appetite even though he was about to die of stuffing.

There were even related fantasies that were so realistic that they made his mouth salivate.

The desire for human flesh and blood is unstoppable.

Finally, bloodshed broke out.

In that crazy and evil atmosphere, the original body suddenly went mad and jumped out of the jar. His hands turned into black claws, and two scarlet eyes grew side by side on his forehead. Unspeakable inhuman malice appeared, and a several-meter-long flesh tentacle came out of his mouth. The tentacle was covered with granulations, and fine teeth were revealed in the rolling.

In the blink of an eye, the original body ripped open the pork seller's belly and broke the neck of the woman in the red dress with its tentacles.

But it soon seemed to wake up again, struggled and wailed, lay back in the tank, and began to hurt itself.

During this process, the original body uttered low mutterings for a while, then wailed miserably, and finally, when nothing was left of it, it suddenly vomited a large mouthful of pus and blood, and completely fainted in the jar.

……

"Have I traveled through time? Or am I in a nightmare?"

"What kind of vegetable person is this? What kind of parents eat meat? How can there be such a time travel?"

"Wake up quickly!"

After watching every scene of his life, Li Yu was almost going crazy.

Traveling through time inexplicably was already an extremely terrible thing, and these images directly caused endless panic in his heart, and his sanity returned to zero.

Just when Li Yu's eyes widened and he was about to faint, a large number of memory fragments suddenly flooded into his mind like a torrent.

An extremely tragic and incredible life from the original body began to merge with him.

He didn't have a proper name and was called "bastard" by his parents, the male and female corpses on the ground in front of him.

He has been raised in a small dark room in front of him since he was a child, has never seen many outsiders, and has been fed all kinds of strange and smelly food.

All of a sudden, he was stuffed into this water tank by his parents and began to be raised thoroughly. Every once in a while, he would experience the horrific scene just now.

Even a fool would be able to react and realize that these parents are not good people, but rather vicious perverts.

But the original body was kind by nature and was willing to give. No matter how disgusting and weird the food was, or how terrible his parents' behavior was, he was happy to accept it.

Even though because of this, his own soul was tortured to the point of being utterly broken, neither human nor ghost.

The last straw that broke the camel's back and made the original body completely collapse and go crazy was a conversation he overheard by accident:
"Master, if we feed them once more, we should be able to gather all the flavors and allow the forbidden egg to hatch completely."

"It should be almost done. That brat ate us to bits. He can no longer transform into the [Son of the Forbidden God]. I'll chop him up."

"Hey, boss, when he's cooked, should we eat him alive or kill him? Even though we got him in exchange and raised him for so many years, I still feel a little bit reluctant." "Of course, we should eat him alive. It's the most effective medicine."

"Don't forget, vicious woman, only by eating him and becoming vegetable people can we have a chance to leave Wanfu City and find our child."

"Is our child really still alive? We exchanged our children with our neighbors in order to survive. We were lucky to meet the Forbidden God Cultists so we didn't eat them. The neighbor couple didn't have such bad luck. Could they have endured it?"

"Shut up. Although you and I are not real farmers yet, we often worship the forbidden gods and are granted with special powers. We both have extraordinary spiritual responses. I can sense that our bloodline is still alive and is in the direction of Qian Country, waiting for us to find him."

These conversations were somewhat incoherent, but they were enough for both Li Yu and the original body to understand their meaning.

Panic and anger surged up together.

"So, I didn't mind being treated as a puppy, I didn't feel uncomfortable living in a small dark room since I was a child, and I didn't collapse when being raised as a human Great Dane..."

"It was not until he found out that he was a cannibal and that his adoptive parents were planning to find their biological son after gaining power that he became completely desperate?"

"During the last feeding, he gave up resistance, turned mad, and killed his adoptive parents. He should have succumbed to the cannibalistic desire stimulated by the terrifying ballad, but he miraculously resisted. In order to prevent the evil god's forbidden egg from taking over his body and escaping, he simply mutilated his body and destroyed his five senses. Did he want to drown in the tank?"

"I didn't expect that in the end it was me who possessed him?"

When Li Yu realized this, his heart was filled with despair.

Now he is sure that he has traveled through time!
Possessed a poor man who was raised as a panacea by his cult parents.

It just so happens that the original person is both kind and cruel.

In order to prevent the "evil spirit" hatched in his body from going out to harm people, he simply turned himself into a human pig.

If Li Yu came, he would have to endure the torture of starvation to death again.

"Alright!"

"As long as I can go back after starving to death, it's fine. Judging from those pictures, this shitty world is probably full of evil gods and demons running around?"

"Huh? No!"

Li Yu was complaining when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

His original body had clearly had his eyes poked out blind and his ears pierced out, so why could he see and hear now?
Also, where does the fragrance come from?
Li Yu suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, an amazing scent he had never smelled before.

You have to know that Li Yu comes from modern society, the fragrances he has experienced are extremely rich, and the achievements brought by the food industry are far beyond the comparison of food in ancient society.

But at this moment he felt that this was the most fragrant smell he had ever smelled in his life, and it even triggered a series of physiological reactions.

His mouth was secreting saliva like crazy, his stomach was rumbling, his whole body was flushed, and an uncontrollable appetite surged out.

But soon he discovered the source of the fragrance.

It's me!

All the pores on his body seemed to open up, emitting wisps of extraordinary fragrance, but it did not drift far away and only he could smell it, so much so that he wished he could eat his own flesh and blood.

In fact, if his limbs had not been broken, he would have been driven by instinct and started to bite his arms.

Stimulated by this strange situation, some memories that the original owner had deliberately forgotten immediately revived in his mind.

Those were some pretty cruel scenes:

After being parasitized by the thing called "forbidden eggs", the original body began to be tortured by pain every moment, and began to become very fragrant, just like a human flesh elixir.

When Li Yu smelled the fragrance, in addition to the thought of eating himself, he also suddenly had a strong urge to eat people.

His eyes immediately looked at the two corpses on the ground.

Suddenly, there was a rustling, urging murmur from within the stomach, which went straight into the brain.

In a trance, because of these sounds, Li Yu seemed to have entered a state of "inner vision".

Then, the next moment, he saw a scene that made him want to hurt himself:
His belly was like that of a woman who was ten months pregnant. Inside was a large scarlet ball of flesh. Under the thin membrane of flesh was a face that looked exactly like his.

Just the expression, it was indescribably weird.

Millions of egg filaments extended out, completely taking over all his flesh and blood organs below his brain, and at this moment, they secreted streams of cold, sticky liquid that flowed throughout his body.

I felt a tingling sensation in the broken bones, and my broken limbs seemed to be slowly being reconnected. I could even clearly feel the flesh and blood growing in my severed tongue...

"not good!"

"This shit can repair itself?"

Li Yu felt unwell immediately after realizing something.
