Inside a Western-style villa, a group of people wearing bizarre masks and luxurious clothing were wildly celebrating.
Judging by the decorations at the scene, it looked like they were holding a high-end gathering.
However, what was strange was that such a gathering actually didn't prepare food or drinks.
In front of each person was placed a large gleaming white plate, and the plate was completely empty.
They sat above on a high platform, and below the platform was a sunken area resembling a beast cage-like strange venue.
The top of the venue was sealed by two movable iron plates, making it impossible to see what was below.
They stared into it, looking extremely excited, as if waiting for something.
Boom!
A tightly fitted iron plate vibrated violently, then, under the mechanism's control, slowly moved aside.
Eyes beneath the masks all widened, and some couldn't hold back gasps of surprise.
Under the iron plates were three people, and they all wore dazed expressions, completely unaware of what was happening.
Blinding lights shone down on their bodies.
The host loudly announced, "Tonight's dinner is these three!"
Ignoring the horror on the faces of the three, he introduced them one by one from left to right.
"The one on the left is the campus belle of Uekami University's freshman department, extremely materialistic, and had relations with multiple men within just a month."
"Her recommender and trainer, Mr. 91 God!"
From the crowd, a man in a brown suit, wearing excessive hair gel and a half-white mask, stood up and slightly nodded, he was clearly the "Mr. 91 God" the host mentioned.
Aside from the humans trapped below, everyone gathered here was a ghoul.
They did not show their true faces and never revealed their real names.
They only went by specific code names.
After this dish was introduced, many ghouls already began to cheer, extremely excited, clearly, this dish was to their taste.
The host ignored the noise and continued the introductions, "Let's move on to the one on the right."
"In sharp contrast to the first, this fat otaku, covered in flab and addicted to games, is now 36 years old, yet still a virgin!"
"His recommender, Big Madam!"
From the crowd, a proportionately shaped woman stood up and nodded in acknowledgment.
The fat otaku at the center of the venue was scared out of his soul, wailing like a ghost and wolf,
"You lied to me! You said if I helped you reach King rank, you'd help me lose my virginity!"
"You b*tch, how dare you lie to me!"
Big Madam's gaze was cold like a queen above all.
Her tone was mature and sultry, making anyone who heard it shiver to their bones.
"Sleep with me? You fat pig, keep dreaming!"
"I just wanted to reduce your movement so I made you play games day and night."
"Trash like you is only fit to lick my toes!"
The fat otaku began to breathe heavily, his body arched, crawling on the ground.
He looked as if he were hoping Big Madam would bestow her big foot on him.
Big Madam spat at him, bared her teeth, and growled, "Scum like you isn't even worthy to lick my toes!"
The fat otaku broke down completely, crying loudly, and then his eyes lit up as he pounced at a pile of frothy liquid.
The ghouls above watched as he licked wildly like a male dog, expressing admiration and clapping,
"Such a cheap dish, I just can't wait to taste it!"
"And now, the main course for tonight!" the host shouted, "The popular actress, Saeko Nogami!"
"Recommender, Mr. MM! Also known as the famous Gourmet!"
The atmosphere became even more heated. "Things brought by MM are always great! This one's a top-grade dish too!"
"I heard Saeko Nogami has a high bounty price at Big Madam's!"
"This is a rare ingredient, priceless even if you have money. MM actually shares it with us, truly worthy of being called the Gourmet!"
Saeko Nogami had a tall figure and breathtaking appearance. Her thin, pale red, tight-fitting nightdress couldn't hide the allure underneath.
The ghouls praised her endlessly.
But under the Gourmet's mask, his expression was somewhat gloomy. He rested his head on one hand, silent.
For some reason, compared to the previous two "delicacies", he suddenly felt what he brought didn't count as anything special.
Plain and unremarkable, it didn't stir his appetite at all.
The host didn't know what he was thinking. Since the atmosphere was set, he quickly announced, "Let's welcome today's butcher!"
A man with a hood and bulging muscles walked out from an opened doorway, holding a steel saw, letting out a vicious laugh.
The butcher's job was to chop the food up, slice it into pieces, and present it for the ghouls to enjoy.
Of course, before that, there would inevitably be a bloody hunt.
The Gourmet's attention was no longer on what was below. Under his mask, his expression was twisted to the extreme, his body trembling.
The ingredients he brought were below standard!
The butcher was slaughtering below, the materialistic woman had already been sawed into pieces. Her once-proud private parts had long been destroyed.
The ghouls at the scene were cheering.
But the Gourmet was deaf to it all, immersed in regret, unable to pull himself out.
'How could such ingredients serve as the grand finale?!'
He suddenly stood up, intending to go down and personally deal with this disappointing dish.
But at that instant, he was frozen in shock.
'What a fragrant smell! How can such an aroma exist in this world!'
He had smelled plenty of blood and flesh before, but this scent, this overwhelming aroma stirring his very soul, was a first.
He looked around frantically, searching for the source of the scent.
Then, someone tapped his shoulder.
Just as he turned his head, an incomparably hard fist smashed into his face.
"ORA!"
His entire body was instantly airborne, under the impact of massive force, like a cannonball, he fell from the platform into the area below.
"Yare yare…"
Jotaro pressed his cap down, his cold eyes watching below, and said indifferently, "To find you, you bastard, cost me quite some time."
"ORA!" Star Platinum smashed the railing of the high platform into powder.
Jotaro strolled to the platform's edge, and like walking on flat ground, leapt down. His coat tails fluttered, with Star Platinum removing the impact, he landed gracefully.
The sudden change startled several ghouls into gasps.
"What happened to MM? Why did he fall off the stage?"
"Who is that guy in black? He's not wearing a mask… and from his scent, he's human, right?"
"How did he get in here? Where are the guards?"
A woman's voice trembled, filled with fear,
"Didn't you see? MM was punched down by him!"
"This guy came prepared, the guards were already dealt with. Look at the ones hanging up there!"
Following her direction, the ghouls looked over.
Those were the guards assigned to maintain order.
Now their heads were buried into the ceiling, and their legs dangled in the air, swinging back and forth.
"When did that happen?!" Most ghouls had already panicked.
A ghoul couldn't help but speculate, "Could he be a ghoul investigator?"
"Investigator? Just one?"
One must know, there were over a hundred ghouls here.
"Who knows how many are outside? I'm running first, goodbye, everyone!"
After hearing this, the rest of the ghouls became even more panicked. Some screamed, some fled, chaos completely broke out.
The noisy sounds above made Jotaro's face sink.
He frowned and shouted coldly, "Shut up! All of you shut up!"
At that moment, with him at the center, a tremendous aura enveloped all the ghouls.
The immense pressure made many weak ghouls lose consciousness on the spot.
The slightly stronger ones also collapsed to the ground, limbs weak, trembling uncontrollably.
In the blink of an eye, all the noise vanished.
Inside the entire grand hall, not a sound remained.
