Yun You's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an irresistible tone.
Frost Moon hesitated for a mont, initially planning to reply with rational words, but the little girl directly snatched the knife from his hand, leaving him no room to refuse.
"Alright."
Helplessly, Frost Moon had no choice but to agree.
Yun You was now his employer, and the employer's orders couldn't be refused.
"I... my hand was injured recently, it's not good to eat, you should change your request."
He vaguely answered the blue-dressed worker.
The latter squinted, scrutinizing the young man for a while, before finally nodding.
"Alright, then next person."
Frost Moon's luck was truly good, a 50% chance to avoid the Space Slash, and he managed to hit it.
But this also ant that the next three could no longer avoid the questions and requests.
"Co."
Yun You stepped forward without fear; though she had to stand on tiptoe due to her height to barely match the blue-dressed worker, her presence overshadowed the monster.
"Let see what level your questions and requests are."
The blue-dressed worker was slightly taken aback.
In the eyes of this monster, Yun You was just a short, slender figure too small to notice.
Yet for so reason, this girl possessed an aura that even it felt a natural instinct of fear.
However, as a monster, it had limited thoughts despite having a brain.
So it quickly ignored the fear and continued laughing wildly.
"Very well, all the subsequent questions and requests will co from you!"
It cleared its throat and asked directly: "Fourth question, would you eat human flesh when extrely hungry? If so, have you eaten it with intent?"
"No, never."
Yun You shook her head.
Though her special constitution allowed her to easily absorb human flesh, and she indeed absorbed human and Apprentice Death God's corpses, she thought... using her hand shouldn't count as eating, right?
It should... right?
She pondered.
Then...
Pft—
A small cut opened on her neck.
Though only the size of a fingernail, it was deep enough to see the bone, almost reaching the artery.
This resulted from Yun You dodging half a step backward.
Clearly, the blue-dressed worker didn't accept this answer, thinking Yun You lied.
Seeing this scene, Jack and Frost Moon were wide-eyed.
If "not eating people and never eating human flesh" was a lie, does this an... their employer had eaten humans?
Though in this era of advanced dicine, viruses like polio had long been conquered, voluntarily eating humans was still sowhat unsettling...
The Black Market's "Closed Eye Soup" might contain human flesh, but that's not eating humans with intent, it's eating unknowingly!
Wanting to eat humans voluntarily is too outrageous...
"Looks like our small team mbers are all heavyweight players."
Jack wiped the sweat off his forehead and quietly quipped.
[Simply, none of them are like humans]
Master Zero gave a more precise evaluation.
"At least more human than so of those dressed-up anthropomorphic things."
Yun You casually replied, then looked back at the monster, speaking coldly: "Continue."
"Very good."
The blue-dressed worker squinted its eyes and quickened its speech.
"Fifth question, what do you fear the most?"
"Mutant cockroaches, the kind that grows as big as a palm."
"Sixth question, what have you wanted to do for a long ti?"
"Kill, take down those I dislike, grind them into minced at, and feed them to flies."
"Seventh question, have you ever been abandoned?"
"..."
Yun You paused, then shook her head firmly.
"Never!"
When she was young, her family was very poor, to the point where they couldn't even afford food.
Families at the bottom of Nest City often lacked much affection, and in such conditions, spouse-abandoning and child-selling were common.
Especially girls like her who looked like porcelain dolls were easily sold to upper-class people by their parents for lifelong wealth.
She's seen too many instances of family selling.
But it never happened to her.
Even when they were poor, her parents never considered abandoning her.
Not once.
Hence her resolute answer.
But then, a shallow cut appeared on her waist.
"?"
Yun You was puzzled.
"What is this? When did I have an experience of being abandoned? This is slander!"
[Maybe it counted your gaming experiences as well]
Master Zero casually joked.
[In PVP gas, getting sold by teammates might count as abandonnt]
"Could be the only possible explanation."
Yun You sighed and accepted this fact.
Conceptual abilities are unreasonable like that, exploiting even the slightest loophole.
Fortunately, the blue-dressed worker's physical strength was nearly exhausted, as it couldn't even maintain a standing posture and had to speak while hunched over.
Its opportunities were dwindling; perhaps with a few more questions and requests, it would enter an exhausted state.
But simultaneously, the last questions and requests would carry deeper malice, and the power of the "Space Slash" would grow stronger.
"Alright, let's ask one more question."
The monster slowly said, "Eighth question, what's your favorite food?"
"Strawberry pudding, my parents' secret recipe."
Yun You tilted her head, calmly replying.
It's a beautiful and delicious crimson pastry, the main component being a palm-sized pudding cake, often topped with thick cream and strawberry sauce, not sweet but very fragrant.
Yun You yearned for that taste even in her dreams, but unfortunately, she couldn't taste it anymore.
"Very good."
The blue-dressed worker knelt on the ground, panting, smiling and said, "Then, for the last adventure request, if you succeed, you may carry it out, if not, stay with here forever..."
"Ninth request—"
"I've heard that the human brain looks like beautiful jelly, so I want to see your brain."
"Can you crack open your skull and let take a look and play with it?"
Another impossible request.
Moreover, Yun You sensed the Space Slash hidden in this request had a speed she couldn't evade and strength enough to heavily injure her.
However, the young girl showed no trace of panic, seeming well-prepared.
She gave Frost Moon and Jack a thumbs-up, then bent over imdiately, reaching out her left hand toward the blue-dressed worker at top speed.
Pft—
As her hand was about to touch the monster's collar, the vengeful corpse, sensing danger, rcilessly used the Space Slash.
No chance to evade, Yun You's left wrist was outright severed, bone separated from flesh, falling along with the cut-off protective suit shell.
The slash didn't end there but continued upward, slicing along Yun You's arm, as if determined not to stop until this "rule-breaking person" was completely shattered.
anwhile, her right hand, unnoticed, reached from another direction straight for the monster's skull!
The vengeful corpse, realizing sothing was amiss, quickly activated the Space Slash, trying to cut Yun You's right wrist.
Her skin cut open, blood vessels and bones severed together.
The slash was fierce, but not fast enough!
Eventually, Yun You managed to grab it, despite her right wrist being halfway cut.
And that was enough...
"Got you!"
