Absolute Calmness

Wenren Sheng recalled what had happened earlier. No wonder Tall Guy had mainly offered up old people to the Wolf Pack. In traditional impressions, the elderly often symbolized wisdom.

At first, he had thought those old people had actively or passively chosen to give up their lives so their descendants could sneak into the Eastern Continent and survive.

Now, it seemed this had actually been more of a demand from the Wolf Pack.

Come to think of it, if the Wolf Pack preferred young men and women, those snakeheads who had long since fallen to their knees would never have dared to use old men to make up the numbers.

Could these Man-Eating Wolves truly acquire human wisdom by eating people? He had the Border Collie drag the powerless giant wolf outside the ruined city.

"So this is the Wolf King? It's really heavy." Blackhide trotted over eagerly to help, only to find that he could not even drag one of the wolf's legs.

"Mm. Now let's interrogate it." Wenren Sheng spoke to Blackhide.

"Do you have a name of your own?" he asked tentatively.

It knew its own name. Needless to say, it could certainly pass the mirror test and recognize the existence of the self.

That was important.

"Wolf God is what those people call you, isn't it? Haven't you given yourself a name?" Wenren Sheng continued.

"I am the Wolf God," the giant wolf insisted.

"Let's put that aside for now. Why do you eat people?" Wenren Sheng pressed.

"Eating people lets me gain wisdom."

"Gain it? How?"

"When I eat brains, I see many, many images and understand many things."
