To be honest, this was the first time Luo Ma felt eating was such a painful thing.
She was busy eating her food, while Yan Leyang and Lang Shiyi, who were sitting next to her, were so affectionate with each other that they only had eyes for each other.
“Do you want to eat this?” Yan Leyang picked up a piece of pork ribs and gave it to Lang Shiyi in a greasy way.
“Eat it yourself.” Lang Shiyi took it back and said, “I’m not a pure carnivore.”
“Hey, eat it.” Yan Leyang wanted to pass it to Lang Shiyi again.
You look at me and I look at you, as if we have thousands of words to say to each other, and we are also laughing in a tacit understanding.
Luo Ma: …heart attack.
Seeing that Lang Shiyi was about to push the ribs away again, Luo Ma quickly picked up the ribs with chopsticks and put them into her mouth: “Thank you, I’ll eat it.”
Yan Leyang stopped, and Lang Shiyi also looked at Luo Ma.
Luo Ma was annoyed: “What are you looking at? You’re not letting me eat. This thing is made to be eaten, not to be used for flirting.”
The two of them were being so affectionate in front of her that she lost all interest in the food in her bowl. It was unnecessary, really unnecessary.
“That’s indeed the truth.” Yan Leyang nodded, then he looked at Luo Ma and swallowed.
Lang Shiyi added: “But aren’t you a herbivore?” What Luo Ma had just eaten was a piece of pork ribs.
Luo Ma’s eyes widened, and then she reacted herself, covering her mouth as she ran back to the bathroom: “Woooa …
After Luo Ma slipped away, Yan Leyang looked at Lang Shiyi: “Is she okay?”
“Hippopotamuses can eat meat, but they won’t eat it if they have a choice. She’s not poisoned, she’s just disgusted.” Lang Shiyi picked up another piece of pork ribs for Yan Leyang: “After all, she hasn’t lived with a group of hippos since she was a child.”
Luo Ma stayed in the bathroom for a short while and then came out. She looked exhausted and staggered back to the dining table.
Out of humanitarianism, Yan Leyang reached out and patted her shoulder to comfort her: “Are you okay?”
“Not bad.” Luo Ma seemed to be hit hard. She reached out to wipe the corner of her mouth, sniffed and almost cried.
Yan Leyang felt a little embarrassed. After all, the little girl’s behavior was more or less due to him. It felt like a human being eating the corpse of a fellow human being. Although the corpse was synthetic, it was still quite disgusting.
It’s normal that Luo Ma can’t stand it.
Luo Ma covered her mouth: “No, that’s not why I’m here.”
Yan Leyang didn’t quite understand what she meant, but Luo Ma took a look at the ribs in the bowl and closed her eyes in pain: “It’s delicious.”
Yan Leyang guessed half right. Luo Ma really couldn’t accept eating the corpses of her own herbivorous fellows. To Luo Ma, the spare ribs that Yan Leyang and his friends usually ate were corpse pieces, and the spare rib soup was corpse water, which was… quite disgusting, but this was the habit of Yan Leyang and his friends, so Luo Ma could barely accept it.
The problem was not this, the problem was…she now thought these things were delicious! This was a problem.
“Let me try it again.” Luo Ma reached out for the ribs with chopsticks with trembling hands.
Yan Leyang and Lang Shiyi just watched Luo Ma’s expression of pain and trembling lips. Then he put the meat into his mouth with shaking hands. At that moment, the meat was almost shaken off, and Luo Ma’s tears fell.
“It’s delicious.” Luo Ma ate the food while crying, “But I just can’t accept it psychologically.” Saying that she couldn’t accept it, she picked up a second piece.
“Uh.” Lang Shiyi whispered in Yan Leyang’s ear: “The hippopotamus race is really scary.”
Yan Leyang nodded in agreement.
Luo Ma ate about half of the ribs with tears in her eyes and staggered upstairs. She was happy that Yan Leyang came back today, but her happiness did not last long.
She didn’t sleep well at night and had a lot of strange dreams. She dreamed that she was condemned by the herbivorous beastmen, and then those guys surrounded her and pointed fingers at her.
Then, as they kept on scolding, those people gradually turned from human bodies into ribs, which made Luo Ma drool.
Luo Ma was in a daze until she woke up the next day.
It’s okay, it’s okay.
It’s okay as long as you don’t eat hippos and antelopes, right?
Yan Leyang and Lang Shiyi watched Luo Ma stagger away, muttering something that normal people could hardly understand.
The two who were originally being loving:…
“What’s wrong with her?” Yan Leyang watched her go: “This child has been acting strange since yesterday.”
“It’s a conflict between appetite and conscience.” The werewolf shook his ears. “Ask her when she comes back.”
Luo Ma was also in a state of out-of-body experience when she was writing the research report, with her hands placed on the keyboard without moving.
“What’s wrong with you?” A female colleague passed by Luo Ma, holding a small teacup in her hand. Seeing Luo Ma’s pale face, she said, “Yan Leyang and the others are back, right? Congratulations, you can be happy now, right?”
“Huh?” Luo Ma turned his head and saw his female cat colleague. Then she sighed helplessly. Forget it. Cats are pure carnivores and cannot understand her.
Luo Ma rubbed her head and looked at the virtual screen again.
Suddenly, the report from her subordinate flickered, and Luo Ma paused.
The characters on the virtual screen began to scramble, eventually recombining into a sentence.
[Hello, Luo Ma.]
Luo Ma’s hand trembled, and she stared at the transparent screen for a long time, making sure it was not an illusion.
[It’s best not to say anything. Do you know this woman?]
The other side sent a photo, which showed a cold woman with white hair.
Luo Ma couldn’t help but open her eyes wide. Of course she knew the other person. If it weren’t for this woman, she wouldn’t have lived to this age. This woman was a horn eagle. If it weren’t for this woman, Luo Ma wouldn’t have inexplicably picked the hair of the horn eagle prince on Thunder Cloud Star.
It was at this time that Luo Ma realized something was wrong.
She used the optical computer to input: [Who are you?]
[It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is what you want to do and what is your goal?]
The other party replied within seconds, without even having time to type.
Luo Ma was very nervous. She looked at the photo of the woman again and replied solemnly: [My goal is to eat and wait for death.]
….
This time, the other party did not reply immediately and even did not reply for a long time. Seeing that the other party had no movement, Luo Ma took two deep breaths and typed again: [What about you?]
She didn’t originally want to just eat and wait for death, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that she didn’t have any goals or dreams, and it seemed that just eating and waiting for death would also be a happy life. This was what she learned from Yan Leyang.
There was no movement from the other party for a long time. Just when Luo Ma thought that the other party would not reply again, there was news again.
[Don’t you want this woman?]
Luo Ma choked for a moment, then typed: [Yes, I do.]
Before the other party could respond, Luo Ma asked again: [But I hope she doesn’t mind my other lovers. I don’t want to tie my life to one person. That’s not exciting enough.]
Can you guarantee that she won’t be angry?
[I am sure I will have mistresses. I am an honest person and will not hide anything. I hope they can live in peace with each other.] Luo Ma said sincerely.
Before Luo Ma could continue describing her dream, the interface in front of her had changed back to a translucent panel, her research report.
The mysterious person she had been chatting with had left.
Luo Ma: …Well, don’t go.

“Do you think the Matrix has started to act?” Yan Leyang looked at the messages Zhou Jiu was frantically sending him. “The Matrix will probably start with the people around us.”
“Yeah.” Lang Shiyi nodded.
