Chapter: 1981
Pyo-wol�s reaction was vastly different from any other person they had encountered so far.�
Usually, when they changed their appearance like this, most people would panic or be at a loss for words. But Pyo-wol was too calm and nonchalant.
Deung Mochang whispered to Dae Juhwa,
�Dear! Don�t you think we messed with the wrong person? That guy�s weird.�
�Hmpf! Even if we did, he will just end up as meat for our dumplings. Imagine how yummy he would be.�
�Hehehe, I�m sure he would be delicious!�
Saliva dripped from the corners of Deung Mochang�s mouth again.
Just thinking about it was enough to make his eyes lose focus and experience ecstasy. In contrast, Pyo-wol�s eyes sank even deeper as he looked at them.
�So, there was indeed human flesh in the dumplings you ate earlier.�
He thought it was strange that these two appeared in the middle of the night, but more importantly, that they suddenly took out some dumplings and cooked them.
From a logical standpoint, their behavior was not something one would expect from people who were lost in the mountains at night.�
Moreover, there was an unpleasant odor coming from the dumplings as they cooked it. Even though it was masked by a myriad of spices, Pyo-wol could smell the eerily unpleasant smell within it, which was why he had refused when Dae Juhwa offered him the dumplings.�
He had heard stories of people supplying dumplings or other dishes made from human flesh. Especially during times of famine or bad harvests, such rumors became more prevalent.
While most of these rumors were unfounded, there still exists those who indeed have a preference for human flesh.
Such as the case with the married couple in front of him.�
Dae Juhwa and Deung Mochang hunted down anyone who passed through these mountains to make human meat dumplings.
Since the mountain was dense and treacherous, no one paid attention to a few missing individuals.
As a result, they had been able to continue their wicked deeds without being caught.
The prey they chose this time was Pyo-wol.
He was handsome and fair-skinned, making their mouths water just looking at him.
Dae Juhwa pulled out a large knife from her bosom and said,
�You�d better not try to run away. If you do, I�ll kill you painlessly.�
�It seems you�ve been doing this for quite some time. Aren�t you wary of the nearby officials or authorities?�
�Hmph! Do you think they care what happens up here in the mountains?�
�Listen, young master! The officials and other authorities are too busy squabbling amongst themselves to care about what�s going on up here in the mountains. Hehe!�
�Sure there were some who did manage to escape and report what happened to them, but the officials were too terrified to take any action. So that�s when we realized that the villagers won�t get involved themselves in such matters unless they have something to gain.�
Upon realizing this fact, the couple became even more daring in their hunting.
Once a person has gotten a taste for human flesh, there�s no getting away from it.
The same was true for the couple.
While their introduction to human meat was a mere coincidence, now they were deeply addicted to it that they couldn�t escape from it. JrNovels.com
