Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 59: Girls Talk
*VICKY*Rainy New York made me feel a little depressed.I was leaning against the window and looking at the street. Pedestrians were trotting in a hurry. The road downstairs of my house was blocked when there should be no traffic jamMany people in New York didn't have the habit of using umbrellas, and I was one of them.I put on a cape. The hood was deep enough to block my face completely, and I put on my scratched bag and walked to Jennifer's store. The traffic jam was a bit serious today, and her shop was not far from my home, so I decided to walk over.I always liked to take shortcuts on rainy days, and it was nice to see the city from a different perspective.I slipped into a small alley, looked around to see if anyone spotted me, flew to the roof, and then jumped between buildings at high speed. Overlooking the whole city gave me a feeling that everything was under control, although this might just be an illusion.I was extremely fast, and instead of walking for twenty minutes,
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 60: The Bakery
*VICKY*I took the note and checked it against the street number plate. I had already checked the numbers on Ditmars Avenue three times but still didn't find the number 335. What the hell was Jenn doing? She mysteriously gave me a note on the store two days ago, saying that an old friend had entrusted her to see if there was a suitable tenant. She also told me that it was a good place that I had never seen before, so I would be satisfied.But the two best stores on this street were occupied by a funeral service company and a tavern, and the initial number on the whole street was 336. After three times around the block, I again returned to the original location, standing in front of this funeral service company dumbfounded."May I ask if you need any help, Miss?"A chubby middle-aged man came out from inside and greeted me politely. He watched me walk in front of his store three times and probably thought I was lost."Oh, Sir, I'm looking for number 335. Do you know where it is?"I ho
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 61: Meet Jaydan
*VICKY*There was no magic chanting or colorful magic effects as I thought. The short guy named Qulin pulled out a hammer full of runes from his bag, and when he held the hammer with both hands, the runes lit up. Then I heard a few loud clangs. The wall was broken out into several large holes as if it was made of paper.This process was repeated many times and the entire wall was smashed through, but strangely enough, the debris that was smashed down looked like burning shredded paper and disappeared directly into midair. The passersby around seemed to be completely unaware of this loud noise and were still doing their own thing.I looked at Lars. He shrugged at me, probably meaning that this was really nothing strange. The only thing that made me curious was the hammer, which was obviously an old object. I wanted to ask about its origins, but then I thought that everyone had secrets, especially these mages.I left the rest of the house layout to Lars. Professional things should be
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 62: The Same Thieves
*VICKY*I still sold nothing after Jaydan left because, since seeing him again, I became a little distracted. I had a strange feeling in my gut. I kept feeling as if there must have been something that happened between us when we first met, and I felt that this matter was very important.I replayed meeting Jaydan in my mind over and over again. I remembered being dazed in front of the hotel, and then I bumped into Jaydan, who came for an interview, and then I inadvertently got his resume on the way home.When I got back to the hotel again, the interview had already started. I gave him back his resume and teased him for a while, but my main purpose was to make sure Leon saw me, and when he succeeded in the interview, we...Wait a minute. He was now Leon's assistant?With the sudden progress in my little bit of sorting out that lost memory, I seem to remember that we went somewhere afterward, and when we got there, Jaydan explained to me some very confusing things.Seeing that my f
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 63: Got Two Helpers
*VICKY*"You can't take her away!" Lou declared. "She's with us, and besides, you're the ones who crossed the line."Skinny Lou stood by my side, mustering up all his courage to face off against the other party. He hoped to use the rules of the gang to force them to give in. He was still too naive. On the streets, people only followed the rules if there was someone strong enforcing them.The only hope for the weak was to be bullied, but I admired his courage, and the spirit he had in him. Lou's words elicited a wave of mockery."Kid, I advise you to get the hell out of the way. You should just run home back to your mommy.""You guys...what are you up to? Do you want to break the rules set by Arthur? Whether you believe it or not, I'll call him over and he'll finish you all off.""Lou, shut up. You'll get us killed. Just give it up already!"John was on the sidelines and grabbed him, trying to pull him back, but Lou jerked his arm away."John, this lady saved us once. She woul
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 64: Jaydan's Secrets
*VICKY*"Honestly, your acting skills are brilliant," I complimented. "You actually fooled me. I'll give you two thumbs up for that."I was now sure that Jaydan couldn't be an ordinary person. He must've tampered with my memory. I couldn't help but be upset because of it. After all, I used to be the one who did that kind of thing to other people and now it was being done to me."Vicky, listen to me. I did it for a reason. It's not that I didn't want to tell you, but that I couldn't–can't."Jaydan looked nervous, I could even hear his heartbeat from here. That confident smile that was usually on his face had disappeared. Good, it made me feel like I was the one in control again."Are you sure? You know I have a thousand ways to get those secrets out of you. I don't have a very good temper these days. You shouldn't test my patience like that."Despite my words, I wasn't interested in his secrets. I needed to figure out why he was approaching Leon and me. If he refused to tell me no
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 65: Imagination
*LEON*I couldn't believe that Osip turned me down. Didn't she always want to marry me? Didn't she try to get me to leave Vicky? How come she changed her attitude so quickly? The mind of a woman really was mysterious.This was the first time in my life that I had been rejected by a woman, and it was even the woman who had been pursuing me for ages.I felt like an idiot. I broke Vicky's heart and tried to marry Osip to use her to close the deal with my father. I even tried to use her good feelings for me to keep Conrad from hurting Vicky.I was despicable, I hadn't even realized that I was becoming what I despised the most.In fact, I didn't love Osip at all. I never loved her, so she was justified in rejecting me. I never treated her with sincerity.I took a deep breath and sank down on the couch. Looking at the stunning view of New York at night, I couldn't help but think of Vicky. What would she be doing right now? Was she all right? I remembered that s
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 66: Transaction
*LEON*Vicky closed her eyes and stood on her tiptoes, slowly leaning in. At such a close distance, I could even smell the distinctive scent of her body. I wrapped my arms around her waist. She hummed softly and fell into my arms. I didn't know that such a small action could make my heart beat so wildly.At this moment, I was sure that I was holding Vicky, the woman who had haunted my dreams and broken my heart. In my mind, images flashed by like a slideshow of the past with her, some were good memories, some were unwanted. But no matter what, these were the memories between her and me.Now was not the time to think about that though. Vicky, I would like to start over with you. No matter what you were, no matter who was against us, I want to be with you.At this point, my mind suddenly went blank and I let my body act on instinct. My hands went into her clothes, feeling her tender skin, and my lips gradually moved closer to hers. At this time, I could even clearly h

Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 99: Experiment
*Leon*I knew Vicky had to leave at some point. Our sweet time together couldn't last forever, but I didn't expect that moment to come so quickly. Although I knew that moment was bound to come, and although I had prepared myself mentally, I still felt lost when it really happened. It seemed like something had been taken away from my heart, and it suddenly became empty.I was actually a particularly timid person who was afraid of loss. The more I remembered those beautiful times, I couldn't help how sad I felt because of them. But now there was no time for me to drown in such emotions. After Vicky left, I immediately arranged a flight and returned to New York in a hurry. After that night, Jaydan never appeared in the office again. I heard from Vicky that they were, in a sense, a similar kind.As a normal human being, I had become a minority instead.Now I felt that the answers to all those questions should be within my family. But with my current situation, not
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 98: Interrupting the Slumber Ritual
*Vicky*I stepped forward and the members of the Elder's Church who'd been waiting on the sidelines draped me in a ritual robe. Afterwards they would then drive a long nail into my heart, which was stained with the blood of Lord Primogenitor, allowing me to maintain my strength while falling into slumber.Kristen pulled the switch next to my sculpture. The sculpture slowly descended, and a pure white coffin rose up. I stepped into the coffin, waiting for them to drive a long nail into my heart. If they could do it skillfully, I wouldn't feel the pain.I closed my eyes and waited for the moment to come. But at that moment, the entrance to the hall of the Sanctuary suddenly became noisy. It seemed someone had barged in."Silence! Don't you know where this place is? Don't disturb the slumber of Lord Primogenitor and the Kindreds!"Kristen tried to silence his men when the guards at the door came rushing in to report."Lord Tybirus, we have visitors.""Wh
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 97: Returning to the Elder's Church
*Vicky*I couldn't believe my eyes. The diary clearly recorded the process of the experiment done back then. I read every line of words on it attentively."We conducted experiments on the experimental subjects with a variety of drug combinations. The vast majority of reagents caused the direct death of the subjects. Only reagent No. 69 worked. The toxins in the blood of the subject were finally removed after repeated injections, and the subject was restored to its human identity. After follow-up investigations for half a year, the subject's mental condition was normal, and he was well integrated into society. This was really an exciting moment. After centuries of exploration, our research finally yielded results...""The most crucial formula for Reagent No. 69 is the Mist Lotus, the Holy Water, and..."The pages that recorded the key materials was blurred and unrecognizable at the bottom because of its age. What was the last constituent element?I was a little
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 96: The Ultimatum
*Vicky*I took a closer look and saw that it was the familiar face of a middle-aged man."How did you find me?""I followed your bat here."The Messenger pointed to the reconnaissance bat on his head. It was originally placed near my house in New York to be responsible for guarding. If there was something important, the Messenger could use blood to communicate directly with it and ask it to locate me.I put away my claws and looked upstairs. Leon hadn't woken up yet."If you have something to say, then hurry up and say it so you can leave already."My tone was a little anxious. Now that The Messenger had appeared here, there was a high probability that the Elder's Church already knew about what I'd done.The Messenger took out a letter inside a black envelope, on which was stamped a blood-red seal with a flame emblem. The moment I saw that emblem, I immediately understood what it meant."I'm sorry, my lord. Please return quickly. Before that
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 95: Leaving with Leon
*Vicky*"Leon, we discussed this last time. Right now, the situation at hand isn't over. Even if we run away, they'll find us. I have to stay.""Alright then, I'll stay with you.""No, Leon, you still have things to do, and your mother wouldn't want to see you waste your life so casually.""You're wrong. During this period, I realized we were all caught in a misunderstanding. You and I always want to carry everything for each other, but we've never thought love is a matter of two people. No matter what happens, we need to face it together. Therefore, I won't leave today. We'll never be separated in the future."Leon grabbed my hand. I stared at the determined look in his eyes and finally let go of all my worries. I nodded."Okay…okay, just as you said, let's go to a new place and start over. No matter what happens, I won't leave you again."I leaned on his shoulder, the happiness sweeping away my exhaustion.Suddenly, a car hurried to the entranc
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 94: Arthur's Death
*Vicky*Arthur was afraid of death, and now he was so frightened by me that he couldn't say a word.Of course, I was happy to see him like this. I waved my right hand with First Snow and viciously pierced his other leg. In an instant, the freezing air sealed his whole leg. He howled loudly in pain, and now the unbeatable king of the underground was like a lost dog, unable to even escape."Laugh again. Go on, why did you stop?"I slowly slashed his clothes with my claws."No, don't do this! Please let me go!""Let you go? There should be many people who've begged you just like that, right? Have you spared them? You didn't even spare your own brother for the sake of profit, and you wantonly take innocent lives in order to gain your father's favor."Swish. I flicked my claws and tore a piece of flesh from his leg."Ahhh!"Painful screams echoed through the warehouse, but no one could come to his aid now."Do you remember the boy named Lou?
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 93: Torment Begins
*Vicky*Men poured in endlessly from all around the containers and docks, forming what seemed to be an endless ocean of people. Despite that, I enjoyed the thrill of the kill. I didn't know how long it had been since I last had such a feeling.The crowd wouldn't stay a crowd for long though. After I killed a few people and created an opening, I flew to the window and used the echoes of the guns for the scout bats to find the snipers who were hidden and shooting at me. I appeared in front of them in an instant, and they, who had thought they were in a safe place, looked at me in surprise as I rushed towards them. The last scene they saw was me waving First Snow to take their heads off.I wandered in Shadow Form and appeared behind them silently, slicing their bodies one by one like cutting a watermelon, and after licking the blood from my lips, I began to get more excited.After cleaning up the borders of the place, I returned to the warehouse and found that the grou
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 92: Battle in the Warehouse
*Vicky*I packed up my things, took First Snow with me, and changed into a track suit that was easy to move in.Tonight, everything would finally end. "Leon, if I come back alive, I'll be there to see you, and if I don't make it through the night, I want you to be happy and take Osip and go live somewhere where no one knows you."I took a deep breath, zipped up my backpack, and walked out of the room.Just as I was about to enter the shadows, Jaydan suddenly called out to me."Vicky! Vicky, wait a minute. Don't go yet!"He came running towards me, panting and looking a little panicked."Something's wrong. Leon's been taken!""What? How did this happen?""A large group of people, supposedly Arthur's men, came to the hotel today. They said they were there to take over the hotel business and forced me to hand over all my management access codes. I didn't give them up though, and found a chance to transform and escape.""Do you know where h
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 91: Scheme
*Leon*"Are you wondering how we found out you were scheming something?" Conrad continued, "I know about everything you've done since you arrived here, including that smart-ass little tunnel of yours. Did you really think I didn't know? I knew about it before your mother passed away, and I left it there on purpose."Why? Why couldn't I read the thoughts of the people around me? Not just Conrad, but also Arthur and his subordinates—I couldn't read any of them. How was this possible? They couldn't have professionally trained everyone, could they?Conrad saw my puzzled expression and seemed extremely pleased."Hahaha! Well, well, well, curious as to why your little trick doesn't work anymore, aren't you?"He casually pulled one of his subordinates over and showed me the electronic bracelet on his wrist."This is a blocking bracelet, a small device recently developed by our scientists. When we wear it, we can truly become invisible. Even those alien creatures'
