“If you’re referring to the scent that clings to you, the residue…”
That’s what Jason said.
Hannibal’s eyes lit up.
“Jason, you too are aware of ‘them’.”
He said, issuing a low chuckle.
Hannibal took the lead and walked in.
Jason followed closely behind.
The downward passage was initially very narrow, just wide enough for a person to pass through; as they continued forward, it suddenly opened up, revealing a whole other realm.
A space similar to the structures above ground emerged here.
Compared to the decorations inside the above-ground buildings, this place was truly simplistic.
Beyond a dining table and chairs, there were only kitchen utensils.
The entire set from the kitchen above was completely replicated here.
However, the most attractive feature here was the ice chest.
It should be called an ice chamber.
The huge door, resembling the security door of a bank vault, had a round steering wheel.
Traces of cold air leaked from behind the door.
But Jason’s nostrils were twitching non-stop.
He smelled the aroma of food.
It was the scent of a variety of foods.
Right behind the door of the ice chamber.
Blocked by that heavy door, the scent was faint but it definitely existed.
Hannibal saw Jason’s behavior and couldn’t help but laugh.
Not one of those who are pretentious.
Nor those who crave novelty.
And certainly not those who blindly agree with him.
He had finally found someone just like him.
Hannibal, as a psychologist, recognized Jason’s genuine feelings in an instant.
It was something ordinary people couldn’t fake.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
With an excited smile, Hannibal turned the wheel.
Amidst the sound of the spring mechanism, the door to the ice chamber opened.
Suddenly, a rich aroma burst forth, filling the entire basement.
Jason couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
He was staring intently at the door to the ice chamber.
When the door was fully opened, Jason’s eyes emitted a tangible gleam.
In an ice chamber of about a hundred square meters, a variety of ‘food’ was arranged.
Some were fierce and terrifying.
Others were unremarkable.
But regardless of the type,
All were so deliciously tempting.
At that moment, Jason wondered if he had come to heaven!
He wanted to pounce on these ‘foods’ and devour them right away, but he did not forget that they did not belong to him.
“May I taste them?” Jason turned and asked Hannibal.
“Of course!” Hannibal nodded.
However, he did not forget to remind Jason.
“They were meant to entertain guests.”
“But Jason, you must bear in mind that the bodies of ordinary people can’t withstand more of these exotic foods. You can only indulge a little at a time, not exceeding a gram; but even this gram will cause your body immense pain. You need to endure, adapt, and after dozens of times, you will be able to truly appreciate the sweetness and the allure of these foods…”
Jason wasn’t listening to such words anymore; hunger pervaded his brain.
He grabbed a ‘Pusack Elf,’ the closest and something he had eaten before, and threw it directly into his mouth.
