Becoming a God Starts with Acting

Chapter 512: [Crimson Inheritance] (31) - Can’t stop eating

The viewers watched as Nick, who had been walking quickly, suddenly stopped and hurried back to Silvanus’s side. He stayed close to him, constantly sneaking glances at Silvanus, making everyone extremely curious.[These two are definitely using the private communication feature!!!]

[Being in a team really is convenient. You can keep secrets without worrying about them getting out. But what kind of secret is something even a VIP viewer like me can’t hear?!]

[Come on, I’ve had an account on Happy TV Network for nearly a hundred years! If anyone deserves special privileges, it should be me!]

At that moment, Jax and Daniel had already taken their seats at the dining table. They did not even bother to check whether everyone else had arrived, nor did they pay any attention to the utensils set beside them. Just like that morning, they pounced forward and tore into the roast suckling pig with their bare hands.

Whatever method had been used to roast the pig, the meat was unbelievably tender. There was almost no chewiness to it, allowing the two of them to rip it apart with ease. Meat juices flowed from the torn fibers, and the rich, steaming aroma instantly grew even stronger as it spread through the air.

Silvanus felt someone clutch the hem of his clothing tightly.

It was Nick.

He gripped Silvanus’s robe so hard that the fabric was nearly crumpled into a wrinkled ball of paper, as though he might tear it apart at any moment.

Beside them, Neo frowned slightly in silence. For some reason, he also began gripping Silvanus’s hand tightly. Although it was the hand of a child, the force behind it felt as though he could crush Silvanus’s bones if he wished.

Silvanus almost failed to keep his expression under control.

Lowering his gaze to Neo, he said with complete "sincerity," "Neo, are you very hungry? Let me get you a pork leg."

Neo pressed his lips together and looked up at Silvanus. Following Silvanus’s gaze, he finally obediently loosened his grip.

Elya, standing nearby, could not help but stare at Silvanus’s group in astonishment as they calmly approached.

Because of the warning she had received, she knew what would happen if someone ate the meat. Yet she also knew just how delicious it was.

After all, in that dream, she had devoured it just as ravenously as Jax and Daniel.

It had been delicious.

And dying had been agonizing.

Recalling that numbing agony and the horrifying scene she had witnessed, Elya swallowed hard, and the little appetite she had left quickly vanished.

She was different, after all. That was why she could resist the temptation of the roast suckling pigs. But what about Silvanus and Nick? Weren’t they hungry? Elya did not believe that a few raspberries could truly keep them full until now.

She could not help but reconsider her chances of eliminating Silvanus.

If Silvanus was just an ordinary person, then it would be simple.

But if he wasn’t...

Elya’s gaze quietly fell upon Neo, who appeared harmless as he leaned against Silvanus in a dependent and affectionate manner.

She knew this was Silvanus’s weakness.

Silvanus had come here so that Neo could have a better life, and he had even been willing to take risks in order to bring Neo out with him.

Thinking of the reward that had been promised to her, Elya curled her lips slightly and pushed up her glasses with her index finger.

She was certain she could do it.

No matter how special Silvanus might be, he was still just an NPC.

Meanwhile, Jax and Daniel’s livestream was more lively than ever.

Ever since both of their stomachs had begun to swell, the viewer count in their livestream had risen dramatically, even surpassing Silvanus’s.

Of course, those were not loyal viewers. They were there only to wait for Jax and Daniel’s deaths, eager to enjoy the sight of them struggling until their final breath.

[That’s right, that’s right, eat more.]

[Looks like the bellies of those two pigs are about to explode, hahaha.]

[Did anyone notice something moving inside their stomachs?]

[Either way, it’s definitely not an illusion.]

[Based on my livestream-watching experience, there’s no way they’ll survive the night.]

Just then, tears suddenly began streaming down Jax’s and Daniel’s faces.

Their gaunt features made their eyes seem to bulge slightly from their sockets. They continued stuffing meat into their mouths in a frenzy, but tears kept flowing uncontrollably, mixing with the meat juices and making their expressions appear even more bizarre.

Too full, too full, too full, too full!

It feels like I’m about to burst!

With his mind growing hazy, Daniel thought in despair.

His body no longer seemed to belong to him.

He was too full.

But it was so delicious.

He couldn’t stop.

If he stopped now, there definitely wouldn’t be any left for him!

With that thought in mind, Daniel glared at Jax, only to discover that Jax was staring back at him. Their expressions were so identical that it was as if they had been cast from the same mold.

At that moment, they seemed to see themselves reflected within each other’s unnaturally large pupils.

Daniel saw his own hands covered in fresh blood.

In one hand, he was holding an arm.

It was small, like the arm of a child, but much of the flesh had already been bitten away. Two fingers were missing...

Ah, they weren’t missing.

They were stuck in his mouth.

Daniel instinctively licked his lips and drew the two fingers further into his mouth, chewing on them. Beside his ear, he could almost hear the sound of cartilage and bone being crushed between his teeth.

He was eating...

What was he eating?

No! That’s impossible!

"Aaaah—!"

It took Daniel a full minute to process what he had just seen. He let out a terrified scream and, at the same time, lost control and toppled backward. The chair overturned beneath him, and his heavy body crashed onto the floor. The swollen belly he now carried wobbled violently, sending a pain through him that felt as though his internal organs were being torn apart.

His scream immediately died in his throat.

His eyes widened as the pain became so intense that he nearly fainted. One hand instinctively moved to support his stomach, while his legs remained spread apart as they had been moments earlier, making him look like a heavily pregnant woman on the verge of giving birth.

The pig’s trotter in his hand was flung aside during the commotion.

Jax picked it up without wasting a second and continued eating.

Daniel stared blankly at him. Cold sweat streamed down his face as he stammered,

"We’re going to die... we’re going to die..."

The pain seemed to drag his mind back to reality, only to plunge him into an entirely different abyss.

As for Jax—the only person who shared his predicament—he merely kept his head lowered and continued eating like a pig. His mouth never stopped mumbling,

"So good... so good..."

Watching the scene unfold, Nick instinctively turned toward Silvanus.

Only to find that Silvanus had already stepped forward. He carefully helped Daniel back to his feet, his expression grave.

Daniel looked at Silvanus as though he were his savior. He opened his mouth, intending to beg for help.

But at that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed clearly from the staircase, drawing everyone’s attention.

The butler, who had vanished after their first encounter, appeared once more.

Silently.

It was as though his shoes only made noise when they touched the staircase leading down to the first floor.

"Gentlemen and ladies, did I not already tell you that making noise is forbidden within this castle?"

His voice was gloomy, and his aged black eyes fixed unerringly upon Daniel.
