Among the Pig-Headed Nightmares that were branded before, the most that had been branded were three black circle marks, and there were not many of them. There was only one brand like the Butcher that had five black circle marks, and there was only one at the moment.

Therefore, the Pig-Headed Nightmare who was responsible for the branding also had a hint of awe in his expression.

But it obviously has a special status on the ship, so it is not as afraid of the butcher as other pig-headed nightmares.

But after it saw the butcher's appearance clearly, it first squinted its eyes, as if it was recalling something. Suddenly, it remembered and shuddered subconsciously.

Lin Mo has been carefully observing the other party's reaction.

From what we can see so far, the Butcher and the Glutton have a close connection.

With a sizzling sound.

There was another black ring-shaped brand on the butcher's sturdy arm, and the taste was almost like barbecue.

In this way, the butcher had six black ring brands.

Next, it’s Lin Mo’s turn.

The butcher stepped aside, and Lin Mo and the butcher exchanged glances. It was obvious that this brand had to be borne, and anyone who boarded the ship could not escape it. Moreover, Lin Mo had asked Can'er before that if he escaped the brand, he would surely die.

No exceptions.

The pig-headed nightmare, who was very respectful towards the butcher, was much more casual towards Lin Mo.

Especially when it found that Lin Mo still retained his human appearance, it revealed a sneer.

Lin Mo stretched out his left arm.

This branding can be done on either the left or right hand, depending on your preference. It's like a butcher who has already branded the opponent's right arm, so he has to change his arm next time.

Tsk! Lin Mo had no expression on his face, which made the pig-headed nightmare look at him with new eyes. After all, even many pig-headed nightmares had painful expressions when they were hit like this before.

In fact, Lin Mo was also in pain.

Fortunately, his Iron Curse and Burning Curse worked.

So this kind of pain was not enough to make Lin Mo scream out.

In this way, Lin Mo also had a black ring mark.

This mark is not only completely black, but also has lines in the middle. From a distance, it looks more like a tattoo, and it carries a powerful curse.

I didn't feel anything else, but I just felt hungrier.

The Gluttony Curse seems to be enhanced in this brand.

My stomach is growling with hunger.

Lin Mo was very sensitive to curses now, so he immediately took out his yellow paper and took a look at it without telling anyone else.

Surprisingly, there were no new curses added to the yellow paper.

It's not that there is no change at all. On the words of the gluttony curse, there is now a faint glow of fire.

Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

"Could it be that this circular brand is part of the gluttony curse?"

This is the only way to understand it at the moment.

No wonder I'm even hungrier.

Lin Mo swallowed and tried hard to suppress the feeling of hunger.

Later, Can'er also completed the branding for boarding the ship. Under the four black brands, Can'er looked very fierce, and the other pig-headed nightmares did not dare to provoke this "senior boss".

But in Lin Mo's eyes, Can'er is just a little brother.

"Go on, talk about the butcher. Since you remember him, what kind of person was he before?" Lin Mo couldn't find out from the butcher, so he could only let Can'er tell him.

As a result, Can'er shook his head and said, "I forgot the details. Maybe this part of my memory was lost on the ship. I just remember that man was very scary and dangerous... Also, the knife in his hand is a good thing... If I can get it, I can definitely get back all my memories."

knife?

Lin Mo glanced at the large kitchen knife behind the butcher.

Thinking about it now, Lin Mo did find something wrong with this knife. Because the knife the butcher was carrying at the moment was obviously much worse in shape and workmanship than the ones he left on the second floor.

Some places were rusty, and the blade was also damaged. Although it was sharpened, it was still damaged. That was the problem. Why did he bring this one when there were obviously better knives? Lin Mo thought about it, took off the tiger bone sickle from his waist, and asked Can'er which one was better, his or the butcher's.

Can'er glanced at Lin Mo's sickle and shook his head.

No words.

But the expression and actions speak for themselves.

But Lin Mo wanted to hear a more definite answer. Under the pressure, Can'er managed to utter, "It's too far off. Besides, you, you don't know how to use a knife!"

This was a big blow.

Lin Mo has always thought that his tiger bone sickle is a very powerful knife, but Can'er said that it is far inferior to the butcher's kitchen knife.

That’s not all, he also said he doesn’t know how to use knives.

Hey! It seems that this is not wrong.

Lin Mo didn't understand.

If he understood, he wouldn't think his knife was better than the butcher's.

And Can'er said again.

"What his knife kills, he can eat..."

What does this sentence mean? Does it mean that the things killed by his sickle cannot be eaten? Suddenly, Lin Mo remembered the scene when he got on the boat just now. An overconfident pig-headed nightmare took the initiative to attack the butcher, but was killed by the butcher with one knife, and other pig-headed nightmares immediately came up to share the food.

At that time, Lin Mo thought that those pig-headed nightmares were so hungry that they devoured their own kind, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

I continued to ask Can'er, but he couldn't explain it either.

This guy's memory seems to be chopped up and incomplete. He seems to remember a lot of things, but he has forgotten more.

All it knew was that the ship contained all the memories it wanted.

In order to regain his lost memories, this is Can'er's fourth time on board the Glutton.

But the three previous attempts had clearly failed, and with each failure, more memory was lost.

It feels like this is a bad stock. I bought it for the first time, got stuck, then I added to my position, got stuck again, then I continued to add to my position, and got stuck again.

It seems that this is an endless tragic cycle.

Finally, he becomes a 'monster' with no memory and only knows how to satisfy his appetite.

Ends in tragedy.

Soon, Lin Mo realized that his speculation was not groundless, because when he walked forward, he encountered an even fatter pig-headed monster.

There are seven black marks on this monster's arm.

More than a butcher.

Moreover, it looked more like a giant fat pig, with almost no human features left.

Because he was too fat, he had difficulty walking and could only collapse on the ground gasping for breath.

What impressed Lin Mo most was the look in the monster's eyes.

Empty, without any emotion in it, only greed, as if still wanting to eat.

It can be seen that apart from appetite, the other party may no longer have any other thinking ability and is just a dying body.

But what's interesting is that faced with such a large piece of 'fat meat', many of the surrounding pig-headed nightmares had no intention of going over to share it, which was completely different from the greedy scene that Lin Mo had seen before.

Lin Mo suddenly realized something.

Can'er said that only things killed by a butcher's knife can be eaten...

Could it be that this is what Can'er meant by the difference between knives?

While thinking, Lin Mo found that the butcher had already walked over.

Seeing the butcher walking over, the surrounding pig-headed monsters all stopped and stared at the kitchen knife in the butcher's hand with burning eyes.

Some of the pig-headed monsters couldn't stop drooling from their mouths.

"Kill it and eat the meat!"

A pig-headed monster said.

Soon, this sentence seemed to be contagious, and the surrounding pig-headed monsters also growled.

“Kill it!”

“Eat meat!”

"Kill it and eat its meat..."

From just a few in the beginning, to dozens of pig-headed monsters roaring together in the end, it was a scene Lin Mo had never seen before. Mainly, Lin Mo himself felt more and more hungry.

He even hoped that the butcher would kill the fat pig-headed nightmare, so that perhaps he could also grab a piece of meat to eat.

Lin Mo used to feel disgusted when thinking of flesh and blood.

But at this moment, saliva also flowed from his mouth.

Hunger was corroding his sanity.

At this moment, the butcher had already stabbed the pig-headed nightmare on the ground in the heart.

White knife goes in and red knife comes out.

It can be seen that the butcher is a professional. Without any unnecessary movements, the pig-headed nightmare just kicked its four legs and was completely freed.

The butcher took a few steps back, and the pig-headed monsters around him could no longer hold back and rushed forward.

In their eyes, the same kind killed by the butcher have become food.

It became a delicacy.

It seemed that the transformation between 'same species' and 'food' was accomplished with just a knife.

It's amazing.

This must be one of the many secrets on the Glutton, the eater is also the food.

Lin Mo finally controlled his desire.

He did not rush forward to share the dead pig-headed monster, even though he was almost going crazy due to hunger.

You know, Can'er also rushed forward.

At this moment, Can'er was extremely ferocious.

The butcher wiped the kitchen knife clean and glanced at Lin Mo, showing some surprise and appreciation.

At this time, a shrill whistle was heard.

The ship moved.

This mysterious huge iron ship left the shore, slowly sailed towards the unknown darkness, and soon disappeared into the endless ocean.

At this time, the butcher patted Lin Mo and motioned Lin Mo to follow him.

Also, don't alarm the other pig-headed monsters.

Including the remaining ear.

Although Lin Mo didn't know why, he still nodded.

Now all the pig-headed monsters here were eating meat. The only sounds were biting and chewing. None of the monsters noticed that Lin Mo and the butcher had left.

After passing through a passage in front, the sound of the pig-headed monsters eating could no longer be heard.

The butcher took Lin Mo to the fork in front, but pulled the wall next to him.

There was a sound of metal mechanism moving.

There was actually a ladder sticking out from the wall.

Straight up.

The butcher climbed first, followed by Lin Mo, and they climbed all the way to the next level.

Here, you can hear the rumbling sound of machine wheels.

The butcher replaced the lid on the floor and put the ladder back in place.

It can be seen that the Butcher is very familiar with the Glutton.

Maybe even the pig-headed monster below doesn't know there is this ladder.

At this time, the butcher looked at Lin Mo and remained silent for a long time.

"Brother Butcher, if you have something to say, just tell me. I'm panicking when you look at me like that." Lin Mo is still a socially strong person, so of course he lied.

He is not panicking.

Not only was he not panicked, he even held the brick.

If the butcher had any improper thoughts about him, Lin Mo would hit him with a brick.

The kind without hesitation.

Although he calls him Big Brother, Lin Mo will also get angry if Big Brother behaves improperly.

"I don't see any panic in your eyes, and you are ready to take action." The butcher's low voice spoke a lot more words this time.

Compared with the other party's previous silence and thriftiness with words, this time it was a record-breaking one.

Lin Mo could see that the butcher had something to say to him.

"Brother Butcher, you misunderstood. We have been neighbors for so long, you know me well." Lin Mo took out the brick and touched it: "You know me well. This brick is my favorite thing on weekdays. Not only do I take it with me when I eat and sleep, but I also take it with me when I go to the toilet. When I have nothing to do, I will take it out and wash it. Please don't misunderstand me because of this."

The butcher's eyelids twitched.

I guess he was trying hard not to chop Lin Mo to death with one blow.

"Let me ask you, where did your gluttony curse come from?" the butcher finally began to inquire.

Obviously, the butcher was an extremely patient man. He had long discovered that Lin Mo had the gluttony curse, and he was also very concerned and curious, but he didn't ask until now.

"I was injured before, and a friend gave me some of her blood to save me, so I got the infection." Lin Mo didn't lie.

When he was attacked, Nie Hong did it to save him, so she passed the gluttony curse to Lin Mo.

"Blood?"

The butcher's eyes lit up.

"There are very few people who can possess the source of the gluttony curse, and even fewer who can use blood as a medium. What's the name of your friend?" the butcher asked again.

"So pretty!" Lin Mo didn't tell the truth this time.

After all, not many people know the name Nie Hong. In fact, apart from Lin Mo and Yu Ning, other people don’t actually know this name.

Nie Hong had many code names before, so it didn’t matter if there was one more code name, Da Piaoliang.

"Woman?" The butcher narrowed his eyes.

Lin Mo nodded.

"I understand." The butcher nodded.

This time it was Lin Mo's turn to be confused.

Hey, I made up the name Da Piaoliang, and you guessed it just because you knew it was a woman?

Did I guess wrong?

Or did the butcher and Nie Hong already know each other? "Everyone who comes to the Glutton is here to satisfy their desires. Lin, what are your desires?" The butcher called Lin Mo for the first time.

Lin Mo was quite touched.

"I just came here to look for someone and see what's on this ship."

The butcher didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, he changed the subject.

His level of thinking jumps is even higher than Lin Mo's.

"Do me a favor!"

"What help?" Lin Mo thought to himself, here it comes, the real purpose of the butcher bringing him along to the Glutton is finally revealed.

"Help me, grab a knife!"

Lin Mo was stunned.

He thought it was a request similar to "hijacking a ship", and at the very least it was to kill an enemy or something, but he didn't expect it was just to steal a knife.

But Lin Mo reacted quickly.

The "knife" that the butcher is talking about must be very powerful.

Because the "knife" seems to be a relatively special prop on the Glutton.

In the eyes of those pig-headed monsters, their more than one-meter-long sickle was not considered a knife, and the broken and rotten kitchen knife in the butcher's hand was actually a knife.

This is totally unreasonable.

But it must be said that this is indeed the case. After careful observation, Lin Mo discovered that his knife was indeed different from others'.

Their knife is like one that has been blessed.

The pig-headed monster only eats things that have been killed with a knife.

No wonder those monsters are so respectful and afraid of butchers, because butchers can make meat for them and at the same time, they can also slaughter them.

Of course, Lin Mo understood that these things were probably only a small part of the truth about this ship, including the 'knife' itself, whose function was not just to 'make' edible meat.

There must be other uses.

Otherwise, why would the butcher come himself to help take the knife?

The word the butcher used just now was 'rob'.

That means the knife he had his eyes on is now in someone else's hands.

"Brother Butcher, it's no problem to steal the knife. I'm even willing to rob a ship. Don't worry. Since we're here together, my business is your business. Your knife is my knife, right? I'll definitely get it back."

Lin Mo said seriously.

The butcher was stunned.

I nodded subconsciously.

The main reason was that I didn’t react immediately.

"By the way, are there any other things to pay attention to? I know nothing about this place. What else do you know about this ship? Tell me." Lin Mo began to ask questions. The butcher must know a lot of things.

For example, the situation on the ship, whether there is an owner, whether there is any threat to them, and where the ship will go next.

Also, how did the pig-headed monsters come into being? Lin Mo discovered that most of the people in the Glutton were pig-headed monsters.

This is obviously not normal.

According to the rules of nightmare generation, no one would be afraid of the same pig-headed monster, which means that these pig-headed nightmares were generated later.

All of these need to be made clear.

I thought the butcher could answer it, but he replied, "I forgot!"

The tone was sincere and didn't sound like a lie.

Lin Mo remembered.

Can'er said that every time one gets off the boat, one will lose a piece of memory. One circular brand represents the loss of a piece of memory, so the butcher now has six brands.

Doesn't that mean that the other party has lost his memory six times?

It seems that what the butcher said is true. The things that the other party could remember are probably very few, so it is indeed difficult to answer these questions.

"Oh, by the way, I just remember not to eat meat on the boat. If you do, you will turn into those monsters just now." The butcher remembered something and gave a warning.

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.

If you eat meat on the ship, you will turn into those monsters?

The pig-headed monster?

If that's the case, Lin Mo would understand why there were so many pig-headed monsters on the ship.

Because they were not originally like this, but because they were infected with the gluttony curse and ate the meat on the ship, so they became like that.

Lin Mo thought of a sentence at this time.

"You think you are the hunter, but in fact, you are also the prey!"

Lin Mo forgot who said this, but he can adapt it now to suit the current scenario.

“You think you are a diner, but in fact, you are also food!”

Perfect fit!

Seeing that the butcher was silent again, Lin Mo took the initiative to ask: "Besides not being able to eat meat, are there any other taboos on the ship?"

"have!"

The butcher thought for a while, and suddenly remembered something, his face turned ugly.

"By the way, if you meet the captain, don't look at his face, and don't talk to him!"
