"Monsters, mutants, demons, goblins, evil spirits, no matter what they are called, all fall into very generalized and discriminatory terms."
"If we go by the most official terminology, all humans who are not from noble families but possess extraordinary abilities are classified as monsters, which can specifically be divided into five categories."
"That is, ghouls, werewolves, Blood Clan, merfolk, and the demon beasts that can’t be fully categorized."
In the dark and silent chat room, two glowing figures faced each other.
A cold voice floated softly, continuously narrating secrets unknown to the public.
In this seemingly ordinary world, there exists a dark corner belonging to the monsters.
From ancient times, from Primitive Tribes to the civilized era, extraordinary power has always existed and never faded.
They mingled among the crowd, coexisting with ordinary people in society.
One could say that humans with extraordinary abilities are also a branch in the process of human evolution.
As for why they would eat their own kind?
The answer is due to food scarcity.
To obtain sufficient strength, the energy from lower-grade food is definitely not enough to satisfy bodily needs.
During evolution, intake of at least the same grade of food is necessary to maintain physiological functions and ensure that one doesn’t lose strength due to bodily weakness.
And human flesh contains richer nutrients, this is undoubtedly true.
So, just like the Neanderthals of prehistoric times, driven by the instinct of hunger, they developed an uncontrollable desire to eat human flesh, becoming predators.
However, those noble families were fortunate enough to master some mysterious power, allowing them to successfully rid themselves of monster status.
Relying on their extraordinary strength, they passed it down through generations, with noble bloodlines, and stood proudly at the top of society.
Whereas other predators faced numerous restrictions, becoming forbidden secrets and choosing to hide in darkness.
Correspondingly, throughout the dynasties, there were official organizations similar to the Special Search Team, specifically tasked with exterminating man-eating monsters.
As for the special abilities of monsters like ghouls.
According to the Smiling Demon.
Ordinary ghouls generally have faster speed and strength than the average person and possess a certain degree of healing ability, with sharp claws and teeth.
With continuous evolution, all their abilities will significantly improve.
Some can extend their tongues to use as weapons, and even more powerful ones can manipulate corpses and shapeshift.
As for the ghoul leaders, aside from the basic ability to command lower-level ghouls, they each possess some special abilities unknown to outsiders.
Moreover, they also have a fatal weakness.
They can only appear at night, as moving under the sunlight accelerates the decay of their bodies.
Ancient texts of Xia Country, similar to the records of the Six Dynasties, also mentioned rumors about ghouls.
Believed that these monsters originally came from the Western Regions with the spread of Buddhism into the Central Plains and then gradually dispersed.
After listening to the explanation, Fang Cheng finally understood.
It turned out that this was the reason why both the Murderer in front of him and that ghoul considered him one of their own.
Having understood the true nature of things, he felt considerably relieved and casually asked:
"Do you think I belong to which category of monsters?"
"Aren’t you the same as me?"
The Smiling Demon responded, somewhat surprised.
Then, he let out a sigh filled with a tinge of envy:
"Your family has produced several famous Murderers, and for you to remain unharmed after awakening your abilities in this generation is indeed very rare."
