Chapter 163: Choosing a pet? No more moving? I'm afraid it's dead. ...

"At first, I came in with my friends. After finding that we couldn't exit the instance, we tried various methods. Unfortunately, none of them worked."

Su Li's eyes flickered, revealing a painful emotion.

"Soon, we decided to accept our fate and try to live in a dungeon. But in this dungeon, the world is not ruled by humans, but by various animals."

"We were able to survive in the wild, but some people couldn't resist the temptation of modern cities and tried to ask animals for help..."

Having said that, Su Li was silent for a moment.

"That was the beginning of everything. They first discovered the existence of "humans", classified humans as a rare species, protected them, and forced us to reproduce."

"Later, more and more humans entered the dungeon. Humans were no longer rare, so they set up human breeding farms, captured all humans, and managed them centrally for customers to choose from."

"All the friends who came in with me died. Some were forced to breed continuously, some were sent to the viewing area to perform difficult movements, and some were eaten directly..."

Is this how humans use it? These guys don’t know how to cherish!

Cecia felt heartbroken when she heard that humans were tortured to death.

He was the savior of the Western fantasy world, yet he was treated so casually in the dungeon...

Wait, didn’t Black Cat say to put all the human inventory in? Then he should have entered the copy at the same batch as her. Why did he stay in this crappy place for eight whole years?

"You will never become like that as long as I am here."

She solemnly made a promise to Su Li, and returned to her room amid the disbelieving gazes from the other side.

In previous copies, the black cat would enter the bodies of other NPCs to ensure the normal progress of the copy.

But this time, the evil thought had been attracted to another copy. To ensure that the evil thought could not come back, the black cat could not leave the console and could not enter the copy to communicate with her directly.

Judging from the fact that she was able to obtain special items just by standing, Black Cat should have been observing her and paying attention to the situation and conditions of the entire instance...

Pulling out the [Word Speaker], she whispered, "Paper and pen will immediately appear in front of me."

Although this place has complete infrastructure, there are no books or written records, nor any tools such as paper and pen, as if the way for humans to acquire knowledge is deliberately blocked.

"Black Cat, are you watching? If so, respond to me with your pen."

She turned off the translation function of the system and talked to herself in the demon language - no one here could understand except Black Cat.

The pen on the table trembled, slowly floated in the air, and wrote in the demon language on the paper.

"I am here."

Since we can communicate, it is much more convenient.

This was a copy carefully selected by Black Cat in order to kill Boris, and she was not even given a task to complete.

In other words, the mission to pass the level is to "kill Boris".

Without the interference of evil thoughts, she can communicate with it, and the black cat can do things in many places.

"Why did Su Li say that she had been here for eight years? Didn't you just put her here?"

"No, evil thoughts have long been integrated into the system. Most of the humans I have collected over the years have been stuffed into various copies by it—"

"After it was lured away this time, I realized that there were only a dozen left in human inventory. I put them all into this copy."

"In other words, apart from those dozen humans, the remaining more than 10,000 humans have been here for several years?"

Cecilia subconsciously held onto the table, but her overwhelming resentment caused her to break off a piece of the table's corner.

"Yes, and a lot of humans were killed. Because the mission set by Evil Mind is to escape from the human breeding farm. So far, no player has completed it, and hundreds of players have died in the breeding farm."

…Damn it.

If the resentment could materialize, the black smoke behind her would probably reach ten floors.

However, the mission "Escape from the Human Farm" may be useful.

After getting enough information from the black cat, she began to think about countermeasures, writing and drawing on the remaining paper, and asking the black cat for his opinion.

Two days later.

Two more humans came to their villa.

This time it was a pair of twins, two boys who looked very similar and seemed to be only six or seven years old.

Unlike the lifeless adults, they were full of the energy that their age group should have. As soon as they arrived at the villa, they excitedly went to get their toys, ran up and down, and their shouts could be heard on the three floors.

"This is a child born in the copy."

With just one glance, Su Li determined their identities.

"Here, humans are not qualified to raise their own children. They are taken away as soon as they are born, and no one knows where they are taken."

"From the looks of it, they should be living well, at least better than us..."

Su Li smiled bitterly, his eyes filled with stagnant water.

A child raised by NPCs?

Cecia narrowed her eyes, took out a few shrunken desserts from the [micro refrigerator], and brought them to the boy.

"Tell me where you are from, and you will have food to eat."

Faced with her blunt question, the two children completely ignored her, knocked the tiny dessert to the ground, and continued to laugh and play.

Human, this is a human child, you can't kill him...

Veins bulged on her forehead, but she endured it again and again. The sharp axe suddenly took shape in her hand and smashed directly into the wall next to the child.

Bang!

The loud noise stunned the two boys. They had never seen such a horrific scene before. They were so scared that they fell to the ground and cried loudly.

"No. Allowed. To. Cry."

Cecia spoke each word slowly, almost squeezing it out through her teeth.

To the boy, she looked like a demon crawling out of hell.

The two children were at a loss as to what to do. They covered each other's mouths and barely stopped crying, but tears still rolled down their eyes.

"Very good, now can you tell me where you are from?"

She looked at them with a smile, and her gentle voice sounded threatening.

"I, we came from the haystack."

The slightly taller boy cried and stumbled as he spoke.

The tone he made was very strange. It was not the language of humans, nor the language of the Western fantasy world. Instead, it was more like the tone spoken by cockroaches and elk.

Fortunately, the copy has a two-way translation function. Unless the player actively turns it off, it will translate the player's words into a language that the other party can understand.

Combined with what Su Li said just now, these children left their parents at birth...

Being raised by NPCs, are you teaching them the NPC language?

"What is the haystack? Describe it in more detail."

She asked coldly.

“It’s a lot darker than the shed here. There’s no light or streetlights, and there’s no house.”

The boy had a limited vocabulary and described it clumsily, using gestures with his hands.

The two of them sang in unison, humming and hawing for a long time before she could barely understand the place being described by the other party.

It was similar to a straw shed for livestock, with no beds or fixed places to defecate, only a trough with food in it, and they could crawl around in the straw.

"...Some people stopped moving and were taken away. I guess they were taken to a beautiful place like this."

Children's emotions come and go quickly.

The tall boy burst into laughter at the thought of his friends being able to stay in a clean room.

But she couldn't laugh.

Not moving? I'm afraid he's dead.

Humans are fragile, and human children are a hundred times more fragile. If placed in such a harsh living environment, their survival rate will definitely not be high.

The two children are extremely lucky to be alive today.

This place needs to be carefully renovated from top to bottom, and not a single human being should be left behind!

…

Perhaps in order to allow humans to better showcase themselves, they did not impose too many restrictions on humans in the showroom.

In addition to the villas they live in, they can also visit other villas and are even encouraged to do so.

After all, most adult humans look listless and sickly, and are not liked by their bosses.

Because there are no restrictions, Cecia is running around these days.

I visited all ten villas here, asking for information from all the humans I could communicate with, and observing what people needed most.

It’s like the emperor is understanding the people’s sentiments.

She already understood the basic situation, and the next step was how to become the "emperor".

Just when she was at a loss and was considering whether to use violence to solve the problem, the elk in a suit appeared in her sight again.

"Tomorrow, a guest will come to visit the area and he wants to choose a lively and cheerful pet for his daughter."

The elk shook its antlers and gently informed them, "As a pet, it is the best choice for humans. You don't have to worry about your life being threatened, and you can still feel the love of your owner..."

"You will definitely behave well, right?"

"certainly!"

Amidst the weak replies, a powerful voice suddenly emerged, attracting the elk's attention.

"It's you."

Seeing Cecia, the elk's smile deepened.

"It seems that you are very motivated. I will remember you."

After the elk left, Su Li took the initiative to approach Cecia for the first time.

Su Li was worried and looked at her disapprovingly: "Do you think you can survive as a pet?"

"In the human world, abandoned and abused pets are everywhere, and it's not much better here. There are also adult animals that eat their children."

"You can live a few more days in the showroom, but if you are favored by a customer, you will have to live in dire straits. Your life or death is completely determined by the other party's mood."

"Don't worry about me."

She smiled and patted Su Li's shoulder, "I won't be anyone's pet, and I won't treat humans as pets."

Human beings are her distinguished guests and great saviors!

Su Li was confused after hearing this and muttered "weirdo" but didn't continue to advise.

The next day.

Cecia had a good sleep and was in the best mental state to welcome the unknown guests.

In order to cater to the other party's preferences, she started exercising early in the morning, running and doing push-ups, trying to become more "lively and cheerful".

However, when the crocodile in the black hat came in with the little crocodile in the skirt, he just took a look and made a conclusion.

"This one is too rowdy and not suitable for my lovely daughter."

…Aren’t you supposed to be lively and cheerful?!

Although her enthusiasm was dampened, her eyes never left the crocodile father and daughter.

They walked around the villa but couldn't find a suitable human. Some said they were "too young" or "too quiet."

The elk's face was frozen from smiling, but he failed to get the order.

Turning its head, it met a pair of sparkling eyes.
