Chapter 46: Miniature People You Can Play With and Eat 03
Jian Bumian was a little shocked when he saw these people who were only the size of rice grains.
Although he knew that the miniature people in this world were only 15cm tall and the smallest could be infinitely small, but if they were only the size of a grain of rice... that would be too small, right?!
In this way, Jian Bumian is the tallest among the mini people.
Talos also noticed the grain man squeezed in the wine jar, but he did not react much. With a cold expression, he turned his head to look at the boy on his shoulder.
"Do you want me to put you down?"
"Okay." Jian Busian nodded.
He was held in Talos' palm and carefully lowered to the ground.
Seeing that Talos had not left, Jian Bumian raised his head and said to him, "You can go back now. I want to--"
He wanted to tell Talos that he was going to complete the system mission.
He wanted to find other NPCs who were also mini-people and plan together how to resist the giants, so he came to the underground warehouse where the mini-people were stored.
But he found himself facing Talos, unable to utter a sentence containing the word "system mission".
It should be that the system has restricted him and he cannot reveal the existence of the system task to anyone, including the evil god.
This means that Jian Bushian cannot verbally ask for help from the evil god.
But Jian Busian didn't think it mattered, as these tasks were supposed to be completed by him alone.
Talos didn't notice that Jane couldn't sleep, but he could tell that she seemed to have something important to do.
He half-knelt down, gently stroked the boy's soft hair with his fingertips, and whispered: "If you are in danger, call my name, and I will appear by your side immediately."
Jian Busian staggered when he was touched by the other party, and fell to the ground with a thud.
He frowned, stood up, and patted his sore buttocks.
Fortunately, he was the tallest among the minifigures. If he were smaller, he might have been accidentally killed by Talos.
After Talos left, Jane Bumian turned around and walked towards the basement entrance.
He took a few glances at the wine jar that contained the rice grain man, but found no place to open the jar. The jar was completely sealed.
Jian Busian sighed softly and could only leave them here for the time being.
The door to the basement was opened a little, so that the giant couldn't squeeze in, but it was more than enough for Jane Bumian to walk in.
As soon as Jian Bumian walked in, he smelled a strong smell of dampness and blood.
The basement is specially used to store vegetables, which is equivalent to the only meat food warehouse.
Jian Busian saw many dried vegetables at the entrance, stacked up one after another and placed in cardboard boxes like dried salted fish.
After the vegetable man is dried, no matter how fair the skin is, it will turn into an ugly brown, the eyes and cheeks will be deeply sunken, the limbs will be curled up into a ball, and only the torso will be exposed so that people can barely recognize that it is a human form.
After Jian Bumian walked past the dried vegetable area, he heard a rustling sound.
He could even hear whispers.
He was stunned, and with the help of the dim light, he was able to see the source of the sound.
In front of Jane Bumian was an iron cage as high as the ceiling. The interior of the cage was densely divided into many compartments, reminiscent of a crowded beehive.
In each compartment of the iron cage, there is one or more vegetable people trapped.
The tallest vegetable man is 15 centimeters tall, and the shortest is as big as a thumb.
They were not as stupid as the giant described. Instead, their IQs were the same as those of ordinary people, and they could even speak.
The discussion that Jian Bumian just heard was made by them. Many small sounds added together sounded like the buzzing of bees.
“…Is he one of our kind?”
"Is he new here? How come he's allowed to walk around here?"
"He is so handsome, with fair skin and delicate features."
"He is so beautiful, how come he hasn't been eaten yet?"
These green hands all looked at Jian Busian at the same time.
Many hot and scorching gazes almost drowned Jane Bumian.
Jian Busian pursed her lips and asked, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Can."
“Yes.”
"Why not, aren't you one of us?"
Jian Bumian: "..."
Jian Busian looked around but couldn't find the key. He said a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, I don't have the key. I can't let you out for the time being."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the iron cage compartment creaking open.
The iron cage compartment closest to Jian Bumian was actually opened by the vegetable man inside!
The vegetable man jumped to the ground. He was a man, one finger taller than Jian Busian, with dark skin and a thin body, like a piece of firewood.
The woodcutter asked Jian Busian, "Are you new here? Anyone thrown into this basement will be eaten by the giants."
This vegetable man obviously mistook Jian Bumian for them, and thought that he was in the same situation as them, thrown into this dark basement, waiting to be eaten as food one day.
Jian Bumian couldn't explain it, so he could only follow the other party's question and nodded: "Yes."
The woodcutter looked at the other man and said, "You are lucky. The owner of this family will not kill the vegetable man and refrigerate him. At most, he will air-dry him. Since we do not meet the conditions for air-drying, we will be imprisoned and killed when we are ready to eat."
Jian Busian could understand what the other party meant by this.
The manor where he lives is the residence of the monarch of this world. Even the living conditions of the manor servants are better than those of ordinary citizens.
They disdain to eat refrigerated vegetable people, so they usually imprison the vegetable people and kill them whenever they want to eat them.
That's why Jane Bumian could see so many living vegetable people instead of frozen meat in the freezer.
Jian Busian wondered why the vegetable man could leave the cage by himself. He pointed at the cage and asked, "You...?"
Before he finished speaking, the woodcutter knew what Jian Busian wanted to ask: "We stole the key from the giants a long time ago. Those giants thought we were stupid and foolish and never thought we would steal the key."
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself." Cai Ren laughed a few times and stretched out his hand to Jian Busian: "You can call me No. 3. I am their leader."
Jian Busian shook his hand, and the other's palm was cold.
In the blink of an eye, many vegetable people who were originally trapped in cages opened the cage doors and jumped down to greet Jian Busian.
These vegetable people included both men and women, but they were not naked. Instead, they covered their bodies with some tissues and shredded paper.
This further proves that their wisdom is no different from that of ordinary people.
However, the giants did not notice that the vegetable man was wearing clothes. They thought that it was just dirt that was accidentally stained during transportation and were too lazy to clean it up. It was like humans seeing chickens and ducks stained with broken leaves and not caring at all.
Jian Busian saw that there were actually children among these vegetable people.
The children were only as tall as his waist. It was the first time they saw such a beautiful person. They chattered around Jian Bumian and said excitedly, "Brother, the clothes you are wearing are so beautiful."
"Brother, you are prettier than my mother."
"elder brother……"
No. 003 looked at these sparrow-like children with a heavy face and sighed, "We originally had many children, but those damn giants especially liked to use children to make soup. The remaining few children were raised by us in secret."
Children have tender meat, soft bones and clean internal organs. In the eyes of giants, they are a top-quality ingredient and are most delicious when used to make soup.
The children surrounded Jane and kept making noise, so some older female servants took the children away.
Jian Busian found a clean place to sit down and asked No. 003: "Since you can get the key to open the cage, why don't you try to resist and escape?"
The first step to reverse the status of the mini-men and giants is to change the current situation of the mini-men, such as no longer being trapped in cages like animals and being slaughtered at will.
No. 003 was silent for a moment, his expression becoming increasingly ugly. He clutched his pants made of oil paper tightly, trying to suppress his anger:
"We tried many times to escape."
"During the last escape, we stole the basement key from a giant's belt and escaped from the basement in the middle of the night. But there were giants stationed outside. They found us and threw most of us into the furnace like insects and burned us alive."
"I fled back to the basement, and they were outside, singing, drinking, and eating jerky made from my wife and children."
No. 003 continued to murmur: "Not only that, after I escaped from the basement, do you know what I saw?"
Of course Jian Bushian knew what was outside. Outside was the kitchen, with many cooks making various dishes.
For giants, this is a food paradise, but for vegetable people, it is undoubtedly hell.
As expected, No. 003 murmured, "It was then that I realized that my compatriots who were captured by the giants were tortured to death in such a tragic way."
On the day he escaped, the servants held a sushi and sashimi dinner, and the essence of sashimi is to eat it raw.
The giants captured many female vegetable people and children, even newborn babies. Instead of killing the vegetable people, they washed them, put them on plates, dipped them in a little soy sauce, and ate them alive.
These scenes were seen by No. 003 and other rookies, and it was no exaggeration to say that they were psychological torture.
From that time on, the vegetable people imprisoned here never thought of escaping again.
They just want to survive slowly in this little world, and live one day at a time.
Jian Busian frowned when he heard what No. 003 said to him.
The live broadcast room was already boiling with excitement.
[Oh my god, this makes me feel sick and uncomfortable. These giants are worse than pigs and dogs! ! ]
[I don’t know whether to stand on the side of the giant or the side of the vegetable man. I feel that both sides are understandable. After all, people cannot live without meat, but the life of the vegetable man is also a life...]
[How come these giants even eat babies? ]
[Audience above, are you sure you have never eaten soup made from little birds and little chickens in the real world? ]
[If I can finish reading this copy, I will definitely become a staunch vegetarian after leaving the infinite world...]
Jian Busian did not continue asking, fearing that the other party's mood would become worse.
He changed the subject and asked, "By the way, is there anyone the size of a grain of rice among you?"
No. 003 paused and replied, "No, the smallest one is only the size of a thumb."
After saying that, he pointed to a place in the cage above.
Jian Busian saw that the cage contained many vegetable people who were much smaller than No. 003 and were indeed only the size of a thumb.
But... there are vegetable people the size of rice grains outside.
Jane Bumian asked, "Are there no younger people?"
No. 003 replied: "Yes, there are, but they are all outside. They are too small and have little meat and nutrition. They are not enough for the giants to fill their teeth, so the giants don't bother to catch them."
No. 003 sighed and said, "Sometimes, I wish I were the size of a bottle cap, so that giants wouldn't catch us and eat us."
Jian Bumian remained silent. He did not tell the other party a cruel fact: even if the giants did not eat the even smaller mini-people, those mini-people were used as decorations.
For example, the rice-grain figurine at the basement door that is used to represent white wine looks like a work of art with a bad taste.
Suddenly, the door of the basement opened, and a thick, tall, dark shadow of a giant was cast in.
A giant maid came in, with a bloated body and a greasy face. She rubbed the oil on her hands on her apron and muttered, "I want to catch a few vegetable people for dinner today..."
She was not a chef noble in charge of the monarch's meals, but just a lowly servant in charge of preparing meals for servants.
Seeing that the guards were not there today, she secretly went to the vegetable warehouse used exclusively by His Majesty and stole some vegetables to make soup for herself.
When Jian Busian saw someone coming in, he took a step back vigilantly. When he reacted, he found that the vegetable people around him had quickly reacted and ran back to the cage.
No. 003 didn't expect that Jian Bumian didn't hide, and quickly gestured to him: "Hide quickly!"
But the maid had already discovered Jane Bumian's presence.
——Jane Busian was so conspicuous. His skin was glowing white in the dim light, and he was wearing an expensive silk custom-made dress, so the maid noticed his presence at the first sight.
The maid didn't know that this was the exclusive vegetable figurine for His Majesty the Sovereign. She was surprised and asked, "When did that vegetable figurine buyer buy such a beautiful vegetable figurine?"
Her eyes were fixed on Jian Bumian, her throat was constantly swallowing saliva, and a hundred ways of cooking this vegetable popped up in her mind.
The maid walked over a few steps, squatted down, and held Jane Bumian tightly with one hand.
However, based on the feel of her palm, she guessed that although the vegetable man was tender, there was not much meat on it and it was not enough for her to eat.
The maid opened the cage at the top and took out a few thumb-sized vegetable men.
"These little vegetables are just perfect as side dishes..."
She simply grasped four or five thumb-sized little people in her palms and let them scream faintly in her palms.
Jian Bumian's situation was slightly better than theirs, as she could still expose her upper body.
The maid took Jane Busian and Xiao Cairen out of the dark basement and came to the kitchen.
***
It was not mealtime and there was no one in the kitchen, so the maid could use any kitchen utensils secretly.
But the maid did not cook Jane Wumian directly, but first took off his clothes.
The maid threw Jane Bumian onto the chopping board and muttered, "Where did this vegetable man come from? Why is he still wearing clothes?"
Before she could do anything, she heard a loud noise.
——The loud noise came from her.
The maid's face was pale, and she lowered her head stiffly, looking at her body.
She found a big hole in her stomach.
Viscera, blood, and minced meat were splattered everywhere.
Her eyes went dark and she fell to the floor. Her hands spread apart and the thumb-like person that was grasped in them suddenly fell from a high place.
For those newbies, this height was like jumping off a tall building. Their limbs were twisted and they fell into silence after struggling for a few seconds.
Jian Busian sat on the chopping block, looking confused.
Then he saw Talos walk in from outside the kitchen, holding a pistol that was emitting white smoke.
Talos put his gun into his belt, narrowed his red eyes, and looked at Jane Busian seriously.
...Jane Busian accidentally messed up her clothes when she was held in the maid's hand just now.
Talos picked up Jane Busian and said calmly, "Change into this outfit when you get back."
He doesn't like anyone touching his little lover.
Jian Busian thought Talos felt his clothes were dirty, so he nodded in agreement without thinking much about it.
Jane Bumian sat on Talos's shoulder and saw the Thumbnail man being thrown to the ground and died.
Among these four little vegetable people, there were two adults and two children. Even when they were thrown down, they still kept holding hands. Their hands were very small and drooped in a small pool of blood.
Talos said calmly, "Don't pay attention to them, they are just a bunch of copy data. Also, starting today, I have banned all servants in the manor from eating vegetable people. Everyone has switched to a vegetarian diet."
He is an evil god and originally has no empathy for these human-looking NPCs.
But he could sense the ups and downs of his human lover's emotions.
He didn't want the other person to be unhappy.
Jian Bumian breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, No. 003 and their families should not be in danger of being eaten at any time, right?
Jane was taken back to the bedroom without sleep.
Talos put him in the bathroom and told him to change into clean clothes.
In addition to changing clothes, Jian Busian also dipped a tissue in water and wiped himself clean.
Talos prepared a pair of pajamas for him, a long white sleeve with hem covering his thighs, and no pants.
Jian Bumian didn’t think there would be any problem without pants. After all, this top could almost cover his lower body.
After changing his clothes, he sat on the absorbent carpet in the bathroom and waited patiently for Talos to take him out.
Just like last time, Talos put Jane Busian on his shoulder.
Jane was afraid of falling, so she simply clamped her legs around Talos' thick shoulders like she was riding a horse.
Talos only felt the boy's two soft breasts rubbing against his shoulders.
Sometimes the boy would even accidentally lift up the hem of his clothes, and that delicate skin would rub against his clothes.
"Hiss..." Jian Busian felt his skin was rubbed a little uncomfortable and wanted to raise his body.
Talos simply took Jane Busian down and placed her on the bed beside him.
Jian Busian was put on the bed and rolled around, sighing that she had finally achieved the freedom of the big bed.
He stepped barefoot on the snow-white sheets, and the extremely soft mattress was immediately left with small dents.
The bed in this copy is abnormally soft and doesn't look like it's made of ordinary cotton.
Jane was so comfortable that his cheeks flushed. He lay on the bed with his limbs spread out, and sighed, "Talos, can you help me see what the mattress core of this bed is?"
If he ever gets the chance to return to the real world, the mattress in his room will also be filled with a similar mattress core.
Talos leaned over and unzipped the mattress core.
,
“Swish——”
Jian Busian heard the sound of pouring beans, which continued to sound.
Could it be that there are beans in this mattress?
But, the beans can’t be that soft, right?
Jian Bumian stood up, stepped on the mattress, staggered all the way to the bed, grabbed the edge of the bed, and looked out -
Jian Bumian really saw many flesh-colored beans.
But as soon as he saw the familiar flesh color, he immediately felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, Jian Busian took a closer look.
——He discovered that these beans were actually people who had been shrunk countless times.
As soon as Talos unzipped the mattress, they fell down like real beans, splashing all over the floor.
Some of the bean men bounced on the ground and then rolled to various corners.
The floor was suddenly covered with flesh-colored "beans".
These bean-like seeds look just like humans, with hands, feet, mouths and noses, and they look like passers-by that you might encounter on the street at any time.
These miniature vegetable people are not alive like the rice grain people soaked in the wine jar.
They were dead, but their bodies had been processed, not decomposed, and were soft.
They were completely naked, as if they were lifeless flesh-colored beans stuffed into a mattress to make a "human seed mattress."
What’s even more terrifying is that there are so many of them. Their tiny bodies are so densely packed that the ground has become flesh-colored.
At least, there are several million of them...
If we count the bean men that are still in the mattress and haven't spilled out, there might be close to 100 million of them.
Talos casually unzipped the pillow and found that it was also filled with bean seeds.
Talos looked gloomy and frowned, and put Jane Busian back on his shoulder.
He didn't want Jane Bumian to touch these messy things.
And Jane Bumian remained completely silent.
...So, he was just stepping on all these people?
The sanity values of the audience in the live broadcast room dropped sharply.
[Ahhhhh!! I have intensive phobia!!]
[If I were Mianmian, I would have been scared to death. Who could have imagined that inside the pillow and mattress core where I was sleeping soundly, there would be many human seeds that shrank into the size of beans.]
[Are you as miserable as me? The pillow I'm sleeping on right now is stuffed with beans. I immediately took it apart to take a look...]
[I am not afraid of the 15 cm small Mianmian, but I am very scared of the thumb man, bean man, rice grain man, and other miniature vegetable people.]
[I'm so depressed. I'm not afraid of ghosts, zombies, or vampires, but I lost in this strange dungeon. What a scary name for human seed! ]
Jian Busian looked at the people on the ground and suddenly felt that Talos was not having an easy time either.
Talos is a monarch, and his quilt and pillow are filled with miniature figurines, which further highlights his noble status.
Then Talos slept on top of all these people last night.
Jian Bumian: "..."
Fortunately, he was afraid that Talos would crush him yesterday, so he did not sleep with him and chose to sleep in the pocket of Talos' coat hanging on the hanger.
Jian Bumian asked, "Talos, do you know... where did they find so many vegetable people?"
He had only been in this copy for a little over 24 hours, but the number of people he had met had already exceeded the number of passers-by he had met before.
Talos replied: "Vegetable Farm."
All the vegetable people that appear in this world are produced there.
The name "Vegetable Farm" sounds like a place where these shrunken humans are treated as farm animals.
Jane Bumian grabbed Talos's silver hair and said, "Let's go there tonight."
The author has something to say:
