This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"The dead... also need makeup?"

"I have to put on makeup to look like a living person," Norsley said frankly, "otherwise, people with torches will come to my house. They're annoying, and I don't want to fight them."

Could it be that the dead could also be annoyed? Ye Yiyi was a little curious.

"The one holding the torch? Who is it?"

"It's Falcon Knight."

"Falcon Knight? Hold up the torch?" Ye Yiyi seemed to remember something suddenly, and took out a light red sword from behind him.

"bass!"

Norsley suddenly took out the large kitchen knife behind her, raised the staff in her hand alertly, and assumed a fighting posture.

"How come you have the Falcon Knight's greatsword... Are you the Falcon Knight?"

She looked at the big sword in Ye Yiyi's hand warily, then looked around at the dark fog wall around her. She seemed to react and suddenly widened her lifeless eyes.

"So this is a trap?"

"Don't do it! I'm not the Falcon Knight!"

Ye Yiyi was startled and quickly started to explain.

"I found this sword in the skeleton of a dead knight!"

Norsley stared at Ye Yiyi for a while.

"Well...I didn't lie."

She put the big kitchen knife back on her back and put down the staff wrapped in black mist.

Can she feel emotions and thoughts like me?

Ye Yiyi was not surprised. After all, they were dead without emotions, so some special abilities were not surprising.

Thinking of this, he looked down at the light red sword in his hand.

This was the torch sword he found in the cave when he was chasing Ezana.

When he heard Norsley mention the "Falcon Knight" and the "Torch Bearer", he thought of this greatsword.

【Torch Sword】

Item Description: Among the sworn knights serving the Blazing Sky Falcon,

A greatsword bestowed upon those with outstanding merit.

The pale red blade was once blessed by the torch,

Therefore, it has fire attribute attack power.

The Oath-bearers walk on the bordering continents,

The goal is to hunt down those who desecrate life.

Combat Skill: Blazing Torch

Raise your weapons high, light the torch that will guide you,

Then release the combat skills forward.

Consumes concentration points to increase its power.

"Hunting those who desecrate life... so the abyssal dead also count?"

He put away his sword thoughtfully and looked at Norsley who was walking towards him.

"What are you doing?"

She looked at Ye Yi as he took out and put away a big sword, somewhat confused as to what he meant, and asked with her head tilted.

"I can sense the thoughts of objects and understand the secrets behind them."

Ye Yiyi started to talk nonsense, but Norsley suddenly pulled out a big kitchen knife from behind him.

He was startled and thought that the girl was going to chop him.

Then the other party handed over the kitchen knife. Ye Yiyi took it in a daze, and then saw her take off a simple backpack from her back and took out a bunch of messy things from it.

"Please help me take a look." She said seriously.

"I suspect I took something left by the cannibal sister, so I ended up here for no apparent reason."

"I understand what you mean."

Do you want to see if it is something like a vow?

Ye Yiyi suddenly realized and looked down at the large square kitchen knife in his hand.

The light curtain then popped out.

【Big kitchen knife for cutting people】

Chapter 331 [Beauty's Dish] and [Hunting Ring]

【Big kitchen knife for cutting people】

Requirements: Strength 32, Skill 14

Damage Modification: Strength C, Skill D

Durability: 328/350

Skill cost: [0/12]

Item Description: A weapon used by Akanaia, the "Man-Cannibal Delicacy" that inhabits the vast swamp.

An unusually large and heavy kitchen knife capable of effectively cutting through flesh and chopping bones.

When the attack hits, it can slightly restore health.

It is said that ancient subhuman races once popularized recipes using "humans" as ingredients.

It was later obtained by cannibals, who indulged in the delicious taste of increased strength.

〥峮?〡VII three neighbors + four〖-pull up is combat skill: thirsty blood

Temporarily boosts strength and toughness through a thirst for flesh.

Consumes focus to use.

Successful attacks increase health regeneration.

"The name of the kitchen knife is really easy to understand..."

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi lowered his head to look at the blade.

There were numerous scratches on the broad blade, as well as black spots left by the accumulated blood coagulation. As for the blade, there were many obvious notches, and it did not look sharp.

Ye Yiyi reached out and touched it, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

This is clearly a blunt knife!

It looks like the knife has never been sharpened or maintained.

Can she really eat the food made by using such a dirty and dull knife to cut meat?

"That's quite perverted..."

He muttered quietly and looked at the description of the combat technique again.

"It temporarily increases strength and toughness, and can restore health after the attack hits. This combat skill is not bad, and should be good for clearing the land."

Unfortunately, the effect of increasing blood upon hit is of no use to him.

The effect of increasing strength and toughness is quite good, the only problem is that this weapon is not his, but was given to him by the dead psychic lady.

Putting the large square-headed kitchen knife on the ground, Ye Yiyi looked down at Norsley who was rummaging through her backpack and said casually.

"It's Akana's weapon, and also the cooking utensil she uses to chop people and cook. It can restore health after hitting the target... Judging from its appearance, she must have eaten quite a few people."

"Why does she eat people?"

Norsley stopped what she was doing and raised her head expressionlessly. Her unfocused eyes seemed to be staring at the blade, or as if she was in a daze.

"We eat to fill our stomachs and survive. In this situation, eating the flesh of one's own kind is not only extremely inefficient, but it will also lead to moral condemnation and even hunting by humans. Why would she eat human flesh?"

The question was asked in a somewhat cold and rational way, which was completely unlike the way humans think, but more like a machine.

But the dead without emotions are almost like machines, right?

A thought flashed through Ye Yiyi's mind, and he shook his head in answer.

"Eating isn't just for survival, it's also about satisfying your taste buds. Did you forget she said you were white? You must have tasted good, right?"

"Is it delicious?" Norsley's eyes were dull, as if she was thinking. Then she raised her eyes and looked directly at Ye Yiyi.

"But I am dead, and my flesh cannot be eaten."

"She doesn't know you're dead."

Ye Yiyi spread his hands, recalling the instructions he had just seen in the kitchen knife, and said:

"Chopper said that the cannibal sister got a recipe that uses 'humans' as ingredients. It seems that eating humans is to increase strength... That should be the reason."

"recipe?"

Norsley lowered her head and rummaged through her backpack, finding a mottled and worn parchment scroll.

"Maybe this."

She handed over the parchment scroll. "This is also something we found on her, but I can't understand the words inside. It seems to be a subhuman language."

"The language of the demihumans? That should be correct."

Ye Yiyi reached out to take the parchment scroll and slowly spread it out.

The light curtain then popped out.

[Incomplete Recipe: Beautiful Woman’s Dishes]

Item Description: Contains recipes for dishes with special effects.

After use, it can temporarily and significantly increase strength and attack power.

But it can also reduce intelligence and become addictive.

Ingredients required: Steak × 1, Sword Heart Grass × 1, Green Bay Leaves × 2, Garlic Millet × 3

"Beauty's Dish...what a strange name..."

Ye Yiyi scratched his cheek, wondering if this "beautiful woman" refers specifically to a woman, or someone with delicious flesh.

A beautiful woman is made into a dish, so it is called a delicacy.

In this way, the title of Cannibal Sister should be interpreted as "Eater·Human Delicacy".

However, since it is an incomplete recipe, it means that this negative effect is not the final effect that the recipe should have.

"Do you understand?"

Knowlesley stared at his slightly odd expression and asked expressionlessly.

"I can't understand it...but this parchment tells me what it records." Ye Yiyi was telling the truth.

“Is it a recipe?”

"Yes, it's called Beauty's Dish."

He frowned and thought for a moment, then repeated the contents to Norsley.

"I think I understand." The psychic lady nodded expressionlessly.

"Sword Heart Grass increases strength, Emerald Green Bay Leaves are spices, and as for the steak...it doesn't actually require human flesh, so the problem lies with the garlic millet."

"Garlic millet?"

Ye Yiyi recalled and found that he had never heard the name of this material in the game.

However, since Sword Heart Grass alone can enhance strength and increase attack power, it means that the negative effects of this incomplete recipe should be caused by the ingredient Garlic Millet.

"What is garlic millet?"

"The fruit of a certain flower. Priests of certain demihuman tribes use them as hallucinogens and claim to me that they have received revelations from the Lord of the Minotaur." Norsley replied.
