Su Yang suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils shrinking violently in the dim light. He was curled up in a square iron cage, the iron bars were covered with dark red rust.

When I looked closer, I realized that it was not rust, but dried blood. His shirt was torn into strips, hanging messily around his waist, his belt buckle was missing, and his pants were torn in half, revealing large purple bruises.

"Woooooooo..."

A suppressed sob came from the left. Su Yang turned his head and saw a girl of the same age as him hiding her body with her torn skirt in the iron cage next to him.

Her long hair was stuck to her cheeks with blood stains, and the winding wound on her neck was still oozing blood, wetting the skin on her chest.

When the girl noticed Su Yang's gaze, she shrank back like a frightened deer, and her back hit the iron cage heavily, making a teeth-grinding sound.

Su Yang hastily looked away, but the sight before him froze his blood. There were nearly a hundred iron cages densely packed in the circular warehouse, and a person was curled up in each cage.

The skin on the back of the middle-aged man in the cage on the right was completely peeled off, revealing the intertwined white bones and bright red muscle tissue. Maggots were crawling in the wounds and drilling in and out of the rotten flesh.

Farther away, a girl in school uniform was staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, a look of fear frozen at the corners of her mouth, and two bloody holes on her neck were still slowly oozing blood.

"Don't look... don't look at them."

The girl's voice was as hoarse as sandpaper. "Those with wounds all over their bodies are about to be eaten..."

She coughed violently, and blood oozing from her mouth dripped onto the ground. "People like us who are intact...will be sacrificed by them."

18-year-old Jian Yi comes from a poor family. After her parents divorced, she lived with her mother. In order to raise tuition for college, Jian Yi planned to use this time to work and earn money.

I submitted my housekeeping resume on a recruitment website ten days ago, and unexpectedly received an offer letter at three in the morning. The salary was three times the market price, with only one condition: I had to start the job immediately.

This was a huge temptation for Jian Yi, who was short of money. Without any hesitation, she rushed to her employer's house.

The employer's home was a single-family villa in the old city. The iron gate was rusty and the depression of the doorbell button was condensed with dark red dirt. Lin Xiaoman pressed it three times before the door creaked open, and the smell of rotten meat mixed with damp moss hit her face.

The woman who opened the door was wearing a lace nightgown. The skin on her neck was like melted wax, piled up in layers at her collarbone.

"Come in, and be good here, and you will get something for yourself."

Jian Yi nodded and followed her through the corridor filled with animal head specimens. The winding brown marks on the walls reminded her of the blood stains that soaked the bed sheets during her period.

The work was easier than expected. Every morning, I had to clean the animal heads with glass eyes, wash the copper cutlery stained with unknown oil, and put the meat wrapped in plastic wrap into the freezer in the basement in the evening.

There are dense blood vessels distributed between the texture of the meat, and the blood that seeps out during thawing will condense into dark red flowers on the tiles.

Late at night, Jian Yi was awakened by the sound of scratching the wall from the attic. She went upstairs holding the flashlight on her cell phone, and the beam swept across the bloodstained wall.

When the light hit the full-length mirror at the corner of the stairs, the reflection in the mirror suddenly bared its fangs at her, the corners of its mouth torn to its ears, and its scarlet tongue wrapped around the flashlight.

The scream got stuck in her throat, and she turned and bumped into a warm body. The woman appeared behind her without her knowing, and her fingertips gently stroked her throbbing carotid artery:

"Are you woken up? Be good and go to the kitchen to help me make a bowl of broth."

Jian Yi's heart was pounding with fear, and the strong sense of uneasiness made her mind go blank. On the kitchen counter, the thawed meat was bleeding.

Jian Yi turned on the gas with trembling hands, and suddenly found something moving under her skin. She used the tip of her knife to pry open the fascia, and hundreds of white larvae gushed out, weaving a twisting carpet on the countertop.

She froze in place, the knife in her hand clanged to the ground. The woman came up behind her without her noticing, her sticky hair brushing across the back of her neck:

"Don't be afraid, these little babies love tender meat the most." The woman giggled, and suddenly pinched Jian Yi's wrist with her fat fingers with amazing strength.

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

Jian Yi struggled desperately, but was dragged by the woman to the basement. The cold and damp air with a foul stench hit her in the face, and her knees hit the steps hard, and the pain almost made her faint.

In the basement, the door of the freezer was wide open, and Jian Yi was horrified to find that those so-called pieces of meat were clearly human limbs, some of which were still in twisted and struggling postures.

"Put her in." The woman shouted to the shadows. Two hunchbacked men walked out of the darkness, lifted Jian Yi up with expressionless faces, and stuffed her into the freezer.

Before Jian Yi completely lost consciousness, he heard a woman's eerie voice: "Send her to the headquarters to be raised..."

When Jian Yi woke up again, he found himself lying in a bumpy truck, surrounded by smelly sacks.

Her hands and feet were tied tightly with thick hemp ropes. In the moonlight that came through the gaps in the carriage, she saw dark red liquid oozing from the edge of the sack and dripping down through the cracks in the wooden boards.

After an unknown amount of time, the truck finally stopped. The door of the truck was roughly opened, and the dazzling light made Jian Yi subconsciously close his eyes.

Several hands pulled her out of the car. She staggered and almost fell. She looked up and saw an abandoned two-story building in front of her. The walls were covered with moss and the windows were dark like the eyes of wild animals.

Jian Yi was pushed into the iron cage, her knees scraping against the rusty corners of the cage, the burning pain made her see stars in front of her eyes. Before she could recover, the cold chain was wrapped around her ankle, and the other end was locked tightly to the iron stake by the ogre.

"Let me go! You monsters!"

Jian Yi screamed and pulled the chain desperately, her ankles were soon rubbed with blood marks. Her resistance was met with a heavy slap in the face.

"Hahaha!! Yell! Yell again!"

The ogres laughed, their eyes filled with animal greed, and their gazes wandered over her unscrupulously.

"This skin is so delicate and tender, much better than those old guys." An ogre stretched out his calloused hand and pinched Jian Yi's chin through the iron cage. The rough touch made her stomach churn.

Another ogre chimed in with a weird laugh: "Don't be impatient, take off her clothes first. Humans have the strongest sense of shame, and this way she won't be able to run away!"

Before she could finish her words, Jian Yi was held down by several people. The sound of cloth tearing was particularly clear in the dim warehouse, and her clothes were torn off piece by piece.

Jian Yi cried out at the top of her lungs, and tried her best to snatch it, and finally pulled a piece of floral fabric back from the other party. She clutched the fabric tightly, curled up in the corner of the iron cage, and trembled as she wrapped it around her body as much as possible, tears pouring out, wetting her scarred cheeks.

The ogres paced around the iron cage with great interest, discussing how to deal with her.

"It would be a pity to eat such good stuff directly. It is better to offer it to the master. He will be very happy."
