Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

Chapter 108 Escape

The three guys clearly didn't dare to let us take them back, so they walked out of the village and stopped at a dilapidated house.

They didn't know what this dilapidated house was used for, but judging from the surrounding layout, it seemed this wasn't their first time here.

This is basically where these guys often meet up.

I've already seen quite a few simple cooking tools, and even some dog bones. It seems these young men are typical examples of socially awkward youths who have been raised without proper guidance.

The elders are either working or doing business in other places and rarely come back, while these guys have gone astray. They must be the kind of people who steal chickens and dogs.

After these guys arrived, they started lighting the coal stove. It seems they knew that snake meat couldn't be cooked in a room with a roof.

It is said that snakes are distant relatives of dragons. If you do this in a room with a roof, the snake will not be able to ascend to a higher realm and will be unable to reincarnate, and will continue to haunt you.

Of course, this is just a legend. The real reason is to prevent dust from the roof from falling into the pot, because the snake meat would become highly poisonous if it came into contact with the dust from the roof.

I've only heard these things, and I don't know which ones are true or false, but one thing is certain.

These three guys are serious; they're really going to eat it, and they have no intention of joking at all.

The three men were clearly not new to this job. They had a clear division of labor: one lit the coal stove, one washed the tools, and the last one started killing the snake.

The technique was truly exceptional; after skinning the snake, they immediately gutted it, swallowing the snake's gallbladder along with the blood.

I almost threw up when I saw it, how could it be so bloody?

Since the kitten remained calm and didn't try to escape, the three of them simply tossed it into a bucket that was empty, probably to prevent it from running away.

The kitten's docile nature clearly made the young man lower his guard; he was busy with his own things and didn't pay much attention to the kitten.

"Aren't you going to run away? Once they've killed the snakes, it'll be your turn!" I flew to the kitten's side and said anxiously.

Because I am a fly, no matter what I say, humans cannot hear me, but other animals can hear me, and I don't know why.

But when I try to communicate with humans, they can indeed hear me. Is that a kind of superpower? A superpower related to language?

I had thought about this problem before, but I couldn't figure it out. I couldn't even figure out how I became like this, so I understood the language problem even less.

Just like a cell phone, why can it make calls? I think many people don't know. Anyway, it can make calls, so why should I know so much?

Since I can't figure it out, I'm too lazy to think about it anymore. I'll just consider it my special ability. Anyway, even if I understood it, it wouldn't have much to do with whether I could become human or not.

I called out to the kitten anxiously, hoping it could escape while they were cooking.

But the kitten said it wasn't the right time yet, the opportunity hadn't arrived.

Damn, the time isn't right yet. When will it be? If we wait any longer, it'll really be a battle between dragons and tigers.

Is it really going to be eaten soon? The snake is almost dead, and it'll be killing the kitten soon. What opportunity could it possibly be waiting for?

If you wait any longer, you'll end up in the pot. Do you think you're Lazy Sheep? You'll have Pleasant Goat to save you!

If I don't run now, I'll really get eaten. The kitten isn't even worried, but I'm getting really anxious.

I really don't want to see my savior die before my eyes.

So I was extremely anxious, fearing that the tragedy I was most worried about would happen.

As I've said before, my bad luck always comes true, even if I don't want it to happen. The more I don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen right away.

So now I'm afraid of the tragedy I don't want to see happening, but I'm like a jinx, whatever I say comes true.

Just as I was anxiously telling the kitten to run away quickly, or I would miss my chance, the man who had killed the snake walked towards us.

Holy crap, when I saw that young man walk over, I instantly felt my scalp tingle. Could I be that unlucky? It's like my wish came true.

But the kitten continued to act cute in the empty bucket, its pitiful big eyes almost dripping with tears.

It looks exceptionally cute. Although it appears to be a house cat, it's just as adorable as a pet cat.

"Little cat, little cat, although you are very cute, we have been starving for many days, so I think we should try eating you." The young man with the buzz cut who had just killed the snake said happily.

There were still traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, clearly from the blood he hadn't completely swallowed when he ate the snake gall.

I was horrified when I saw this. How could anyone be so terrifying? Eating snakes and chickens is one thing, but how could someone eat such a cute cat?

But there's clearly nothing I can do right now, since that crew-cut guy has already caught the kitten. Before killing it, he seemed to say a few words to the kitten, as if to ease his mental burden.

The kitten's innocent eyes, coupled with its soft meows, made it look exceptionally cute and innocent.

"You're so cute, I really don't want to eat you, but for the sake of my manly prowess tonight, I'll have to make do with you," the short-haired man said in a very soft voice.

As she spoke, she lifted the kitten into the air and slowly brought it to her mouth, wanting to give the kitten a final kiss as she said goodbye.

"Meow……"

But at that moment, a cat meowed, and the kitten swiped its claw hard across the man's face.

"Ah, you motherfucker, ah..." The man reflexively covered his wound with his hand.

The kitten fell to the ground and rushed towards the village, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The man's face was covered in blood, and he had almost blinded himself. There were four deep scratches on his face, almost revealing the flesh underneath.

Seeing that the kitten had successfully escaped and the creature that wanted to eat the cat had been punished, I breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it had escaped. Since it didn't need my help, I would continue on my way.
