Apocalypse: Starting by Burning 100 Billion Ghost Currencies

Three years ago, an enigmatic calamity descended, causing the collapse of the monetary system and the rampant suppression of this world by rules with extremely low survivability.

Su Luo, in a...

Chapter 163 Smells so good!

"She's looking at us! What a young law enforcement officer! I can't stop drooling!"

"Don't you guys think she smells so good? She smells so good, I can't help but want to take a bite!"

When these words reached Su Luo's ears, she clearly heard many swallowing sounds nearby, like the neighbor's children crying from hunger.

Su Luo was slightly taken aback, but she put on a cold expression. She looked around, and the group of ghosts lowered their heads after meeting her gaze, and the eerie chatter gradually disappeared.

Su Luo slowly walked towards the main seat on the central platform. As she passed the ghost who had said she smelled so good, she deliberately paused for a moment and scrutinized the ghost a few times in full view of everyone. Her ambiguous "humph" at the end made the surrounding ghosts tremble with fear, and they all distanced themselves from the ghost, afraid of accidentally getting into trouble.

However, Su Luo was also curious about what the so-called "fragrant" meant. Was it because she was still human, or because of something else?

She didn't have this skill before, and she didn't know that the monsters could communicate closely using a strange language. Judging from this, the way her family's eyes would occasionally wander was probably because they were communicating in a strange language, taking advantage of her not being able to hear them.

Whether it sensed Su Luo's thoughts or not, Zhao Cai, who had already merged with the black coffin, shivered inexplicably in Su Luo's hair.

"Gentlemen, this is the law enforcement officer sent down from above, Su Luo, Lord Su."

A whoosh?!

Lord Su!

When this surname was mentioned in the banquet hall, all the strange eyes were stunned, and they looked at Su Luo on the high platform with even greater longing.

It should be noted that Yecheng is not the main city of the Abyss. Normally, people only know the names of the four major families but have never seen their strange deeds. They are all just legends. Now that a living law enforcement officer from the Su family has come here, he has instantly become a hot commodity in the eyes of all the strange creatures.

What's more, this law enforcement officer surnamed Su also has a pair of black cat ears on his head.

The shady dealings involved are self-evident.

Lanshan understood, and so did the others present. Not all the ghosts were stupid, mindless fools who only knew how to use brute force.

"...Let us raise our glasses together to toast Lord Su!"

"Respectfully, Lord Su!" The demons raised their skull goblets high, the crimson wine inside looking no different from blood.

Su Luo glanced at it, symbolically raised it, and then placed it on the dining table next to her without touching it.

Although he came to the Abyss and his body mutated, it doesn't mean that Su Luo would be interested in these strange foods.

Standing beside Su Luo, Lan Shan keenly noticed that Su Luo's expression was not good, as if he was not satisfied with the red wine in his hand. She quickly asked ingratiatingly, "If Lord Su is not satisfied, we have many fine wines in our city."

"I don't like drinking."

He coldly rejected Lan Shan's overtures. Lan Shan nodded knowingly upon hearing this, then waved for the red wine to be removed and replaced with a batch of dessert and flavoring fruit wines.

In the world of supernatural beings, this condiment is not considered alcohol; it is consumed as a beverage at banquets.

Su Luo looked at the rainbow-colored fruit wine and her lips twitched.

You call it a beverage? Is it a beverage made by rubbing soap bubbles?!

As for the rest, the entire banquet consisted of either humanoid hand bone soup or various exquisite raw marinades, which made Su Luo feel nauseous just looking at them.

"Sir, these are all top-quality two-legged sheep. This raw marinated meat is a specialty of our Yecheng. Please try some!"

Want to try some?

How about you try it!

Looking at the familiar organs and tissues in these dishes, Su Luo simply couldn't swallow them.

So... there are humans in this "Abyss"? Real humans?

I've never heard Zhao Jinlai mention this before.

"Never mind, I don't have an appetite. You guys eat." Su Luo said, standing up and preparing to go back to her room.

The accident happened at this time.

A gunshot suddenly rang in Su Luo's ears. An ominous bullet with black flames quickly cut through the air, carrying an aura of death, and hurtled towards Su Luo!

"Protect the law enforcement officer!"

Lanshan gasped and stood up, only managing to tackle Su Luo to the ground. As a result, the bullet missed Su Luo, grazing her shoulder before crashing into the red silk wall at the back of the banquet hall.

Looking back at the spot where the bullets were fired, a masked male ghost met Lanshan's gaze, raised his hand and struck the spirit lamp in the banquet hall. The lights in the banquet hall went out instantly, and the ghosts screamed and panicked!

Instead of running away haphazardly, in the darkness, Su Luo saw with his own eyes a series of semi-circular objects stirring and intertwining, fighting each other!

Is this... a monster's skill?

Like a madman, this group of monsters fought back and forth in the darkness, blood splattering everywhere, seemingly feeling no pain at all, and some even let out bursts of unrestrained laughter.

'Sizzle'.

A few strange creatures that accidentally hit the edge of the platform were probably having too much fun. A severed hand, accompanied by splattered blood, fell onto the dining table, shattering the carefully prepared dishes. It rolled a few times and stopped in front of Su Luo.

"...Gurgle."

Su Luo stared intently at the severed arm in front of him. Separated from its owner's body, the humanoid arm gradually transformed into a bloody, festering wing covered in pustules, stained with various seasonings, like a failed attempt at cooking, lying quietly on the dining table.

'Gurgle.'

There was another swallowing sound, more rapid and intense than before.

Oh, it smells so good!

It looks delicious!

Su Luo couldn't help but slowly reach out his hand. He knew clearly in his mind that it was a rotten, highly purulent, and foul-smelling arm of a monstrous creature, but he couldn't resist his body's instincts.

Her hand hurts so much.

She was so hungry!

She really wanted to eat it!

Eat it, eat it, eat it, just eat it and you'll be fine!

The stench of blood permeated the banquet, and the ruins and rubble were all tempting and seducing her!

The perfect buffet restaurant!

Just as Sulok couldn't help but reach out his right hand to pick up the severed arm and prepare to bring it to his mouth, the shattered lights came back on, and all the monsters froze in place, just in time to see the moment Sulok opened his mouth.

The Deceitful Ones: ...

The sound of terror was deafening!

'Ding, host detected entering [Abyss] City, main character detected: ***, contractable creature detected: Lanshan.'

'Monster's name: Lanshan, a high-level seven-star monster, city lord of Ye City in the Abyss.'

Monster Skill: [Wind] Domain (Upgraded version of the Wind God).

'Current favorability towards the host: **** (Anyway, it's not low, because your cat ears are too conspicuous, and the [Abyss] monsters should all have a high favorability towards you.)'

The system notification, which had been silent for a long time since entering the Abyss, suddenly appeared at this moment.

'Ding, system upgrade, unlocking domain functions and the Whispering Skill,'

'Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained one free skill upgrade opportunity. You may choose the skill you wish to upgrade. (After upgrading, you will directly possess the domain of that skill! The size of the domain is determined based on the host's current mental state.)'
