Chapter 231: Perfect Man

Then, in the silence, Ju Xin was the first to pull out a sack from under the table.

Oof, huff, huff.

The sack opened, revealing a little piglet still kicking its legs wildly. He twisted it by the neck, and it immediately fell still before he placed it on the platter.

Hoof, hoof.

There seemed to be more than one pig in the sack.

Zhu Xian expressionlessly grabbed three more. Each one was instantly strangled and placed neatly on the platter. Then he handed them to the Perfect Man.

"Director, the pig's offering has been made. Wishing you a pleasant meal."

A smile full of flattery and obsequiousness appeared on Zhu Xian's face as he nearly grovelled before the Perfect Man.

"Mhm. Not bad. What about the rest?"

The Perfect Man seemed quite satisfied with Zhu Xian's attitude. After giving the other animals a scrutinizing glance, he waited for them to present their offerings.

Immediately, the rat man, Mr. Tree, pulled a short knife from his chest and began cutting across his stomach. A large slice of meat weighing about four to five pounds was cut off and placed on the plate.

Goo, goo, goo.

The large intestine beneath his belly was flung down, and blood dripped from the rat man's thigh, continuously falling beneath the dining table.

But the rat man merely pushed the plate of meat forward and handed it to the Perfect Man sitting in front of him.

The giant tiger seemed to have anticipated this. It looked toward the dog-headed man beside it.

The dog-headed man took out two jade bowls from his chest, then suddenly sliced open his own chest. With a similar cut to the giant tiger's skin, fresh blood surged out as the two jade bowls began to collect the warm blood.

Pepe also took a bag from under the table. It was filled with familiar snake eggs.

Long John unfolded a picture, and after tearing it apart, dried hearts fell onto the plate.

The Monkey Mountain Demon pulled a handful of vertical-eyed eyeballs from its chest, while Mr. Fu leaned on his cane and took out a bird's claw from beneath the table.

The smell of blood, silence, and stillness filled the air.

At this moment, the scene of the offerings felt like a sacrifice in hell.

Although Shen Yu had anticipated this, his face still turned pale.

Promotion?

What promotion?

It was just a change of position, becoming prey for higher beings to exploit.

Among the ten animals, only the scapegoat and the rabbit-headed person had not offered any food.

The scapegoat sat contentedly in the corner, unmoving, while the rabbit-headed person looked at the Perfect Man with an expression of fear and unease.

"He, he, he, he, he..."

"Well then, let the feast begin."

Pa da!

The golden mask was suddenly lifted.

Beneath the Perfect Man's mask, the human face had no features, only a large mouth resembling a man-eating flower, with a horizontal line cutting across its face.

Ah!

Its mouth opened, revealing a dense array of sharp teeth like steel nails wriggling together. The entire head seemed to fold bizarrely into two halves, front and back.

Ong Wu!

Under the landscape of the dining hall, the Perfect Man opened its gigantic mouth and sprayed saliva before suddenly swallowing an entire meat pig from the plate.

Gulu!

The outline of the meat pig appeared in the Perfect Man's neck before sliding into its stomach, stretching it round.

But this was not over.

Ong Wu, ong Wu!

As if indulging in a feast, after swallowing one meat pig, it grabbed a snake egg and shoved it into its mouth. The egg yolk and white burst as it chewed, swallowing everything whole.

Its other hand lifted the bowls of tiger blood and dog blood, pouring them into its mouth.

That strange half-head swivelled as the animals watched the Perfect Man eat frantically.

None of them dared to make a sound.

Their expressions differed, but they all lowered their heads.

"Eat, eat. You all eat too."

Amid the sounds of chewing, a distorted voice echoed.

The half-mouth that was chewing suddenly paused. When it looked at the other animals, their faces darkened. Hesitantly, they looked at their plates before reaching toward one another's food.

They couldn't eat their own kind.

So Pepe chewed on the Monkey Mountain Demon's eyeballs.

Mr. Fu ate the meat pig.

Long John ate the bird's claw.

They were exchanging food.

A maddening, silent, twisted scene unfolded across the table.

"Eat!"

"I told you to eat!"

Between the Perfect Man's arms, its flesh split with a sizzling sound. A second pair of arms emerged, pushing Shen Yu's head hard into a pile of rotting hearts and forcing him to eat.

Shen Yu's face turned ashen, but he clenched his teeth and remained motionless.

Damn!

While you eat cattle and horses, I eat you.

Ascension is a trap.

Damn it!

The higher you climb, the more likely you are to become someone else's food on their plate.

F******!

In front of the sales staff, they acted so arrogantly, but in front of the board of directors, they were nothing more than ants.

At this moment, the bullet screen exploded with comments.

Suddenly, the Perfect Man seemed dissatisfied.

It slowly stood up from the table. After the split head hanging from its neck twisted and shook, a new fleshly mass split off from the neck, and a second man-eating-flower head began to grow.

Ugh, ugh!

One head was still chewing food, while the other dripped saliva as it suddenly moved toward the rabbit-headed person.

"You. Where's your food?"

"I, I..."

The rabbit-headed person clearly hadn't expected such a situation. She stared blankly at the Perfect Man.

The next moment—

Awoo!

The drooling head flicked forward, suddenly attaching itself to the rabbit-headed person's face.

As the two halves of the head opened and closed with a poof, the rabbit-headed person's headless body sprayed blood mist before collapsing onto the table.

Her head was trapped inside the split skull's mouth, being chewed relentlessly.

The silent sound of chewing echoed through the hall.

Shen Yu could even see the rabbit's head being crushed, chewed, and reduced to chunks of bloody meat inside the Perfect Man's mouth before being swallowed whole.

Dead.

The high-ranking rabbit, one of the company's top executives, had just died like this.

But the other animals at the table seemed unfazed by the scene. They continued eating in silence.

Lin Wan, is this where you wanted to climb to?

Did you see it?

The higher you climb, the more likely you are to be eaten. The top eats the high ranks, and the high ranks have to eat cattle and horses to recover, producing offspring for the top to enjoy.

This was the truth of Evolution Food Company.

Staring blankly at the headless rabbit, Shen Yu couldn't help but feel a visceral, instinctive grief. The rabbit's death struck him deeply, as did the fate awaiting the other animals.

It was at that moment—

Ding!

**You have completed one of the current mission tasks: Investigate the truth of Evolution Food Company.**

**Current remaining tasks:**

* **One:** Explore all company areas. Can be completed or abandoned.

* **Two:** Become a true evolver. Can be completed or abandoned.

**Main task activated: Escape the company's control.**

The instance's notification echoed in Shen Yu's ears, causing him to freeze for a moment.

Escape?

How could he escape?

Cattle, horses, and every other animal couldn't open the first-floor exit during the day. At night, the first floor became a huge bedroom.

There was no way out.

No way to escape.

Even worse, he still had weekly tasks.

As the lowest-level sales employee, one had to close three deals per week. Otherwise, one became food.

But if one managed to close the deals, one became the sales captain and had to ensure three deals the following week.

Even if one succeeded at this stage and became an evolved being in the management ranks, wouldn't one ultimately become the Perfect Man's food supply?

At this level, one still couldn't escape the control of the board of directors.

Want to leave the instance?

There could only be one answer.

Shen Yu blinked, and a plan had already formed in his mind.

The instance mission had actually given him a hint: investigate all areas.

Perhaps there was a clue or some key information that could help him leave.

As for becoming a true evolver, that meant becoming a member of management. It should help him deal with the situation more effectively.

*Looks like I need to get more of our people into management.*

As his thoughts became more active, the Perfect Man chewed the rabbit's brain in its mouth and, astonishingly, began walking step by step toward the black wolf in the corner.

Its two half-open heads wriggled.

The Perfect Man's voice trembled with excitement.

Only four days remained.

"If you and the Wolf Faction fail to complete the task, you'll be the next meal sacrifice."

The tall wolf trembled under the Perfect Man's gaze, frozen in place. She kept glancing toward Shen Yu, her eyes filled with hope.

This absurd celebration banquet dragged on for who knew how long.

Finally, the Perfect Man tilted its head. A third pair of arms squeezed out from its body, and a third head began growing from its neck.

The banquet was nearing its end.

The first two heads were still chewing when the Perfect Man's third head turned toward the elevator. It slowly stepped forward.

Ding!

As the elevator doors opened fully, the Perfect Man disappeared inside.

"Ugh! Ugh!"

The animals seated around the table immediately covered their mouths and began vomiting. They had been forcing themselves to eat under the Perfect Man's watchful eyes, stuffing themselves until their stomachs felt ready to burst.

"Ugh! Ugh! Damn it!"

How much longer is this going to continue?

Pepe stared at the cracked egg yolk on the table, her eyes filled with indignation. She clenched her fists, but in the end, she could only let out a deep sigh before walking over to Shen Yu.
