Day 501-510/Day 503

Day 503 / 33rd day
I judged that I had exhausted most of the information I could get from the captives.
I used a variety of abilities such as 【Interrogator】, 【Lie Detector】, 【Psychology】, and 【Heart Rate Detection】 to remove as many falsehoods as possible, and I have a good feeling that I have extracted the truth.
In addition, by comparing the information gathered from other sources and the various documents obtained during the attack on the facility, we have been able to obtain a rough confirmation.
So, now that I was done, I decided to eat the prisoners of war - the skilled officers who had mastered the skills of remodeling surgery and some of their aides.
I used a deadly poison to inflict the last bit of pain, and then ate them head first while they were still fresh.
As I had thought when I had eaten the combatants, those who had been subjected to modification surgery tasted like food with a lot of additives, just like the enhanced humans of my previous life.
In the case of the fighting members, their muscles tasted like they had been treated with anabolic steroids and hormones, probably to enhance their fighting ability.
The bones that had been replaced with magical metals had a crunchy texture, and the neurotransmitters had a slightly tingling pungency unlike normal.
On the other hand, the prisoners of war this time were technicians who had undergone alterations such as dexterity and memory enhancement in order to improve the accuracy of the surgery.
Perhaps because of this difference, the areas of high quality were mainly the brain and hands.
The brain is more developed than normal, and the hands, with their soft muscles and trained nerves, have a very rich taste.
The body, with less muscle and more fat, was also delicious.
Personally, I prefer natural food, but sometimes it's good to have something that looks bad for you, like junk food.
It is possible that in this world, it is a taste that is rarely eaten.
【Ability Name【Magic Modification Skills】learned】.
【Ability name【Engineer's Fingertips】learned】.
And the two abilities I gained.
I'm not sure if it's because it's a remodeling operation for this world that uses magic power, or if it's because it's a 【Magic Remodeling Skill】.
【Engineer's Fingertips】 is an ability that makes your hands dexterous and makes precision work easier, so it will be in the useful category.
It can be used in combat as well, depending on how you use it.
After cleaning up the prisoners down to the last drop of blood, I decided to quickly raid the place and get new prisoners for my personal purposes.
When I was gathering information, there were some things I was curious about in the future, so I wanted to focus on those things in order to quickly regain my memory.

“三十三日目” ／ “五■三■目”　
捕虜から得られる情報は、大体出尽くしたと判断した。
【尋問官】や【嘘発見器】、【心理学】や【心拍数検知】など多種類のアビリティを使ってできる限り虚偽を取り払い、真実を引き出した手応えもある。
そして他から集めた情報と、施設襲撃時に得た様々な資料と照らし合わせる事で大まかな裏付けもとれている。
という訳で、用が済んだので捕虜――改造手術技能を修めた技能系幹部と、その補助をする側近数名――を喰う事にした。
猛毒を使って最後の苦痛を与えて、新鮮な間に頭から頂く。
戦闘系構成員を喰った時も思ったが、改造手術を施された者は前世の強化人間のように添加物たっぷりの食材のような味がするらしい。
戦闘系構成員の場合は戦闘能力を高めるためか、筋肉はアナボリックステロイドやホルモン剤を使ったような味がした。
魔法金属に置換された骨はコリコリとした歯応えがあり、神経伝達物質も通常とは違って少しピリピリする辛みがあった。
対して今回の捕虜達だが、技術者として手術の正確性を高める為に器用さや記憶力強化などといった改造手術を施されている。
その違いからか良質な部位は主に脳と手だった。
普通よりも発達した脳と、柔らかな筋肉と鍛えられた神経が張り巡らされた手の味はとても濃厚である。
筋肉が少なめで脂肪が多めな胴体も、それはそれで美味かった。
個人的には天然物の方が好みだが、ジャンクフードのように身体に悪そうな感じもたまにはいいだろう。
この世界ではむしろ、滅多に喰えない味の可能性もあるのだから。
［のラーニング完了］
［能力名【技師の指先】のラーニング完了］
そして得た二つのアビリティ。
魔力を用いるこの世界の改造手術だから【魔改造技能】となったのだろうか。
何だか少し違うような気がしないでも無いが、それはさて置き。
【技師の指先】は手先が器用になり、精密作業がし易くなるアビリティだったので、有用な部類に入るだろう。
使い方次第では戦闘時でも活躍できる。
そうして血一滴に至るまで捕虜の後始末を終えた後は、個人的な目的の為、さっさと襲撃して新しい捕虜を得る事にしよう。
情報収集の際、今後について気になるモノもあったので、早く記憶を取り戻す為にそちらに力を入れたいからだ。
