Chapter 649 Jelly

Zhang Heng simply stood quietly, waiting for the college student to finish smiling. “What’s so funny?” he asked.

“Oh sorry, I thought of something when I just stood here.” “What is it?”

“Did you know that the jelly is made of pigskin?”

“Hmm.”

“You see it right? How did anybody not see it before? Humans consider this intelligent species as food, consuming their flesh, skin, and even their bones. It is as if they exist solely to be eaten. No one seems to think of this as a cruel act. Everyone I’ve met thinks that this is the way the world works.” The college student curiously poked the jelly in the pot with his finger. “Interesting. So, such is the civilization I’ll be facing.”

“Trust me. I’ve seen our civilization commit deeds that are way worse,” Zhang Heng said. “Eating jelly is definitely not among the top ten.’ “If that’s the case, does that mean that a species of higher intelligence can decide the fate of a lower one without asking for its consent? In other words, if a species is on a higher level than a human, they must be allowed to eat humans too.”

“I do not think so.”

“Why? Humans have been doing the same thing to pigs.”

“Because I don’t want to be a piece of jelly?” replied Zhang Heng with a raise of an eyebrow. “Hahaha!”

The college student laughed again when he heard Zhang Heng’s reply. This time Zhang Heng could finally hear his laughter. It sounded a bit screechy, like chalk scratching a blackboard. After he was done laughing, he said to Zhang Heng, “You are the most interesting person that I ever met.”

“It sounds like you haven’t met a lot of people.”

The college student nodded and pointed at his head, “I had a problem here before. I have been staying at home for a very long time.”

“You don’t look too good right now. Don’t you need a few more courses of medicine to recover completely?”

“I will take my medicine when I go back later. But first, I’ll have to deliver this skin jelly to Aunt w.a.n.g.”

After the college students finished speaking, they started to move again.

The distance between the two gradually got closer and closer. When Zhang Heng realized that he was two steps away from the college student, he tilted his body slightly.

“Thank you,” the college student gave a sincere thanks.

“You’re welcome.”

“I’m not that bright, but I like to deal with bright people. I hope you can always be this smart.”

“If you are not that smart, it’s better that you give a little less of your false suggestions to anyone in the future,” replied Zhang Heng in kind.

After that, the two spoke no further, with one heading upstairs and the other in the other direction.

Zhang Heng walked out of the gate and looked back at the building behind him.

He knew that what happened tonight was not a coincidence. Although the student used the excuse of delivering jelly to Aunt w.a.n.g, Zhang Heng knew that the creature was actually waiting for him.
