Chapter 269: Wolf Body, Human Heart

"These monsters are native to this world?" Lin Yifan was startled for a moment, turned his head to look at the monster corpse, his face full of disbelief.

He really had never thought of this before!

Because until now, the Initial Domain had never seen monsters, only some beasts.

And they were all beasts that exist on Earth Star, so Lin Yifan never considered which ones are natives.

"Is it that rare?" Aieriliya shrugged, giving a wry smile:

"This world may look like a game, but it is a real world; everything here is true, only it doesn't affect annihilation."

"Fine, let's drop this topic for now, because we haven't figured it out yet; perhaps someday someone will uncover the truth of this world!"

"Back to the previous topic," Aieriliya flicked her hair with a hand and continued:

"I said earlier that monsters aren't abandoned, yet in this Instance the Maggot Human Bone is scarce, while there are many strange monsters of various forms, unlike the monsters we usually see, and their lethality is extreme; this is very abnormal."

"I couldn't figure out why this was happening before, but now I understand," Aieriliya turned to look at the tower, her expression icy, and said:

"It must be that someone performed a forbidden ritual in this tower, merging Red Moon's power with the monsters' ferocious force, creating a 'Living Trap', that is, a new-type bizarre monster."

"Just like that wolf earlier; although it's also called a Nightmare Wolf, it's completely different from the Nightmare Wolves I know. This monster is sixth‑level but relatively docile, never so violent."

"Moreover, its appearance has changed, so if I'm not mistaken, this isn't a naturally born monster but a creature stitched together from the bodies of contaminated Survivors and monster flesh."

"These creatures have probably already taken over the whole tower, turning it into a man‑eating horror, so you all must decide whether to venture inside."

"Combine humans with monsters? How could that be possible," everyone gasped, their faces full of disbelief.

Aieriliya stepped forward, crouched beside the Nightmare Wolf corpse, drew a dagger, and slit the wolf's belly open.

Then she reached into the wolf's belly and rummaged, her hands drenched in blood, causing everyone to involuntarily retch.

But she seemed to have no sense of smell, continuing to poke around inside the belly.

Lin Yifan saw this, couldn't help but frown and say: "Princess, what are you doing? Even if it's a monster, it's already dead; there's no need to keep messing with its corpse!"

"I have no hobby of torturing corpses," Aieriliya rolled her eyes, saying irritably:

"I want you all to see what's inside this corpse!"

After saying that, she began to dissect the wolf corpse with her dagger.

About half an hour later, the wolf corpse, originally over a person tall, had all its organs removed, and the body could be taken apart piece by piece.

The overwhelming smell of blood made many Survivors retreat to the side and vomit.

Even Lin Yifan felt physically nauseated.

However at that moment, Hong Shaoqiang, who had been silent, suddenly sprang to his feet,

"This… this heart, why does it look like a human heart?"

Everyone who heard it turned their attention to the heart, whispering:

"How could this be? How can a wolf have a human heart!"

"But this heart does indeed look odd; I used to work at an animal clinic, not a vet, but I've seen many animal corpses and organs, and a wolf's heart never seemed this big!"

"Is that so? It's a monster, standing over a person tall! A larger heart isn't normal?"

"It's not about size; actually I also feel something's off without a heart; I once visited a cadaver lab, and this heart is almost identical to a human heart."

"But how can that be? A wolf's body shouldn't contain a human heart! That's nonsense!"

"How could it not be possible? All of us from Earth Star were thrown into this cursed place, and even magic exists; a wolf with a human heart is not impossible."

"Anyway, I think it's impossible! It's too abstract, completely impractical."

……

At that moment, a middle‑aged man wearing glasses stepped out of the crowd, his eyes fixed on the heart, his face shocked:

"Indeed, this is a human heart! I'm a forensic doctor, I often dissect human corpses and know human organs best; I can assure you, this is definitely a human heart."

The nearby Aieriliya heard this, pointed at the other organs, and said lightly:

"Then take a closer look at these organs."

The middle‑aged man, hearing that, glanced curiously at Aieriliya, but didn't ask further; he dutifully crouched before the other organs, examined them for a moment, then began to tremble:

"How can this be? All these organs are human organs, all of them…"

He raised his head in panic, lips trembling:

"Excuse me, Princess, you earlier said someone spliced human bodies with monster bodies—does that refer to this?"

Aieriliya nodded: "Exactly! Actually this is a very distant history, related to your Human history."

She lifted her gaze, slowly scanning the crowd, finally stopping on Lin Yifan, and sneered:

"Honestly, although the Night Temple folks are also assholes, compared to them, Humans are the most evil race, or rather, the race most prone to evil."

"So far, the upper echelons of the Red Moon Cult are almost all Human, and every crime the Red Moon Cult has committed was created by them."

"Including such inhumane human experiments!"

"You say combining humans with monsters is also related to Humans?" Lin Yifan furrowed his brows, asking curiously.

However, regarding Aieriliya's accusations against Humans, he offered no rebuttal.

As a Human himself, Lin Yifan naturally understands Humans!

They say the human heart is hardest to read; although most Humans are decent, there are always those with evil thoughts.

And how far can human evil go?

No one knows!
