Chapter 45 Braised Pig Brains and Marrow, Raw Pig Head in the Refrigerator

"Little Lu, come out and eat."

"Why are you dawdling?"

"Come out now!"

At that moment, the woman suddenly urged him loudly.

There was a banging sound, as if she were impatiently pounding on the table.

Judging by her tone, she seemed angry.

Everything was fine, so why did she suddenly become so irritable?

It felt completely inexplicable.

Lu Xian looked stunned:

"The survival background of Madman Street mentioned that there isn't a single normal person here."

"It looks like that's indeed the case."

With that thought in mind,

he put his phone in his pocket, opened the door, and walked over to the dining table next to the kitchen.

"Little Lu, Auntie specifically saved this for you."

"Sauce-braised pig brains, it's delicious."

"And two servings of stir-fried pig's head meat."

The woman had become very enthusiastic again, pointing at the three dishes on the table and praising them.

When he saw the dishes on the table clearly, he took a sharp breath.

A chill ran down his spine.

The 'sauce-braised pig brains' she mentioned...

was actually thick, red blood plasma drizzled over two bowl-sized brains!

The surface of the brains twisted like earthworms, still covered in gray and pinkish-white membranes.

Some ruptured membranes revealed white brain matter mixed with the red plasma.

It was a jarring, terrifying sight that made his scalp tingle with cold!

[Ugh~ So disgusting!]

[I'm a medical student, I've seen this before—it's raw.]

[Hiss... Eating raw brains?!]

[That woman said she'd blanch them in water, but I guess she's going for 'original flavor'?!]

[Damn, that's disgusting. I can see it now, this woman really is mentally ill!]

[Brother Lu, just crush her already. There's no way she's normal!]

Everyone in the livestream room also took a sharp breath.

The scene was incredibly bloody.

Lu Xian was secretly shocked.

And the stir-fried pig's head meat she mentioned was actually medium-rare slices, the meat still slightly red.

Lu Xian took a deep breath, and a nauseating, bloody stench hit his nose, forcing him to hold his breath again.

"Auntie, do you like eating these things?"

Lu Xian eventually sat down and asked the woman in front of him.

He didn't touch anything on the table.

Just looking at this stuff made him feel sick to his stomach, let alone picking up chopsticks.

He had already labeled this woman a 'Madman.'

"Yes, it's very delicious, fresh and tasty."

The woman's expression became very excited as soon as the topic was mentioned.

She even used a spoon to scoop some 'sauce-braised pig brain' from the table, opened her mouth wide in an exaggerated manner, and took a bite right in front of him.

She had a look of pure bliss on her face.

White paste streaked with blood remained at the corners of her mouth.

"..."

Lu Xian and everyone watching the livestream fell silent.

Some couldn't take it and cried out that they were going to vomit.

"I just rarely get to eat it; delicious pig brains like this are hard to come by."

As she spoke, she stared longingly at Lu Xian, then glanced at the gold chain around his neck.

[I can't take it, Brother Lu, just beat this crazy woman to death!]

[+1!]

[She's already treating you like a dish!]

The people in the livestream room all began to advise him.

"Auntie, your tastes are truly unique."

Lu Xian suddenly smiled and 'praised' her.

Changing the subject, he asked:

"Auntie, what kind of work do you do? You came back so late."

The woman put down her spoon, her face suddenly changing as she lamented with a bitter expression:

"I work at the nearby Psychiatric Hospital."

"Patients have been escaping lately, and it's been so hard on us Nurses."

"We used to give patients two injections a day, but now it takes four a day just to barely keep them quiet."

"Many of the escaped patients can't be caught, and they even hit and hurt people. If this keeps up, we're going to be driven mad by the workload."

Listening to the woman pour out her grievances,

Lu Xian's expression shifted, and he asked probing questions:

"That does sound quite troublesome."

"Auntie, as a Nurse in the hospital, shouldn't you just be giving injections and changing dressings?"

He had noticed her wording.

Nurse.

But Lu Simin's business card said Chief Physician!

"No, we also need to be responsible for catching patients outside."

The woman didn't notice anything wrong.

"Doesn't the police catch them?" Lu Xian asked.

"We mostly rely on our hospital Nurses to catch them, because there are many patients you can't recognize as being mentally ill just by looking."

"But I can, hee hee~"

"And I have medicine to treat them!"

The woman looked excited and gave a weird smile.

She actually pulled out a syringe with a needle from behind her!

Lu Xian's pupils constricted.

He noticed the syringe in her hand; there was even liquid medicine inside!

And the medicine was blue!

What was going on?

[Holy crap, if there's nothing wrong with this, I'll chop off my own head for her.]

[What normal person carries that thing around!]

[I'm curious how she was hiding it.]

The people in the livestream room were discussing fervently.

The number of viewers had reached eight million!

At the same time, people were constantly sending Lu Xian express deliveries.

However, he didn't have time to open the boxes right now.

He couldn't get away until he dealt with the matter at hand.

"Then what about the doctors at your hospital?"

Lu Xian asked again.

He was now certain that this woman was an impostor.

According to his guess, she should be Lu Simin's colleague.

At the same time, it was hard to believe that this woman was actually a Nurse at a Psychiatric Hospital?!

And she had the bizarre habit of eating raw brains!

"The doctors are seeing patients at the hospital," the woman replied.

"Alright, alright, let's eat first."

The woman urged him again with some impatience.

He didn't know why this woman kept pushing him to eat these things.

She was acting very strangely.

But it was impossible for Lu Xian to eat it.

So he pretended to nod and said:

"Auntie, I'll go get some rice first."

The woman didn't say much; she just nodded and buried her head in devouring the pig brains on the table.

Seeing this, Lu Xian stood up and walked into the kitchen.

A thick, bloody smell, along with an indescribable stench, hit his nose.

The kitchen seemed to be kept quite clean.

There was a refrigerator, cabinets, a trash can, a stove, a range hood...

But there wasn't even a hint of the aroma of cooking in this kitchen.

Lu Xian glanced at the step-on trash can with a lid next to the door.

He casually stepped on the pedal.

The trash can lid opened.

A clump of black hair and some bits of skin and flesh came into view inside the bin!

Everyone's scalp instantly went cold!

[Damn!]

[It's confirmed!]

The livestream room immediately exploded.

Lu Xian felt a chill in his heart.

Then he went to open the electric rice cooker nearby.

A rancid smell instantly wafted out!

The rice inside had turned into a rancid paste, with murky bubbles rising, and a large amount of mold growing on the inner walls. It was incredibly foul-smelling.

"How many days has it been since this rice cooker was cleaned?"

And that woman had just said that the rice was ready.

This rice was probably cooked a week ago.

He then prepared himself mentally.

He walked over to a 1.7-meter-tall refrigerator.

When he opened the upper door of the refrigerator,

he was startled.

There was actually a raw pig's head sitting on the glass shelf!

The dead pig's eyes were glazed over, and its large, blood-stained snout was pointing right at Lu Xian.

The scene was incredibly eerie!

[Whoa, it really is a raw pig's head?]

[That's also pretty scary.]

[Something's not right, this pig's head is perfectly intact.]

[How do you explain the hair in the trash can?]

Lu Xian then opened the middle door of the refrigerator.

It was a drawer-style, and he pulled it straight out.

As a result,

the image inside the box was terrifying, making his hair stand on end!!

Lu Xian's whole body shook, and a chill spread through his entire being.

He saw a human head split in half, face up.

It was dripping with blood, the stains shocking to the eye.

Two halves of a pale face covered in blood, with deathly white, terrifying eyeballs staring straight at him!

The image was horrific and gruesome.

And at that moment,

after that woman finished eating the brains on the table,

she licked her fingers, her expression appearing unsatisfied.

She suddenly stood up.

With a weird smile, she picked up the blue syringe and walked into the kitchen...
