It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 319 Return to Metropolis

One meteorite after another was moved in front of the Moon Demon, and some were moved above Liu Zheng's head.

Faced with a meteorite larger than the observatory, he had no way to avoid it.

So he chose to lie down.

"Cover yourself with a small blanket under the bridge and don't worry about anything else but sleep."

Liu Zheng muttered as he covered himself with the dragon robe cloak.

"BOOM!"

As the first meteorite hit the ground, his figure disappeared amid the continuous sound of bombing.

The golden liquid continued to fly forward, piercing through the meteorites that tried to block it along the way.

Amidst the starlight that was created by the disintegration of the meteorite, the golden liquid came in front of the Moon Demon.

At this point, the fishing net's lines had been torn to an almost invisible thickness.

If He is given a little more time, if only one network cable is broken, He can escape.

Unfortunately, it was the foolish spider, not him, who had the ability to control time.

Amid the Moon Demon's desperate roar, the golden liquid penetrated the fishing net and shot into His brain.

A gorgeous golden flame ignited from His head and quickly spread to His entire body.

Then, even the fishing nets began to burn.

The Moon Demon wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but found that he could not use either Albert's arcane magic or the abilities of the superior.

Even His final curse was forbidden by the power contained in the golden liquid.

The blood-red flame and the golden flame were clearly distinguished, as two inhuman beings competed in will and vitality.

Whoever can't hold on and dies first will come to an end of this grand performance, and Art will also meet his end.

And the winner will naturally not be the one on the side of justice.

After a long yet short wait, Liu Zheng struggled to climb out of the observatory, which had turned into a meteorite crater, soaking wet all over.

After the first meteorite smashed down the observatory, lake water flowed back in, and the effects of the Heart of the Ocean took effect.

With the bonus of 50% damage reduction, 100% recovery speed and huge physical reserves, he managed to hold on until the meteor shower ended.

Of course, the effect of the dragon robe shroud in resisting one fatal injury was still consumed.

"Muro, is this also in your calculations?"

Liu Zheng looked into the lake and seemed to see the gentle smile of that stupid woman.

He looked again at the place where the Moon Demon had originally stood, and a deep pit appeared there as well.

But it was not caused by a meteorite, but by flames.

On the gradually cooling lava, a crescent-shaped blood gem as big as a heart was reflecting the brilliant firelight.

"Phew, it's okay."

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He has used up so many cards in this wave, it would be a huge loss if he fails to deliver them.

"Wonderful, really wonderful. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that a person could accomplish the feat of killing three superiors in such a short period of time."

As the applause sounded, a man holding an iron rod slowly walked out of the white mist.

"You're not dead yet, old man."

Liu Zheng sneered.

The person who came was Albert, and even his attire was exactly the same as the one he had seen before.

"I will not die until I have exhausted the truth of the universe."

Albert said with a smile.

"Who was that unlucky guy who was possessed just now?"

he asked.

"That was Mikobach, a brilliant young scholar. Unfortunately, he tried to extract the secret of the Inner Eye from me by force. So I had to let him play a small role."

Albert explained.

"Oh, it's really the style of old perverts like you."

Liu Zheng was a little skeptical to begin with.

After all, a smart man like him would stay away even if he wants to reap the benefits instead of staying in the muddy water.

"That's just old wisdom. Well, let's talk about something more valuable."

Albert said.

"What topic?"

"Cooperate with me in some experiments, and then you can leave Art safely."

Albert made his offer.

"Huh? Old man, are you getting senile? You already know that I have speed-passed three superiors, and you still dare to threaten me?"

Liu Zheng looked at him as if he were a fool.

"I think you'd better die quickly before I have to pull your intestines out and stuff them down your trachea."

"Your bluffing will not work against me, young man. I know you have used up all your cards. You are now nothing more than a powerful mortal."

Albert looked like he had everything under control.

"It's enough to kill you, an old thing."

Liu Zheng said coldly.

Although his props were basically used up and his stored physical strength was exhausted, he still had the Heart of the Ocean.

As long as he jumps into the Meteorite Lake, he can still fight with the dual bonus of speed and damage reduction.

"It seems that you still have some misunderstandings about me."

Albert shook his head.

"How do you think you explored the ruins of Tomel before I hired those hunters?"

He loosened his grip on the scepter and unbuttoned the buttons sewn into his clothes.

"It's my well-tempered body that I rely on."

Albert laughed and tore off his loose scholar's coat, revealing the flesh beneath it.

The tangled muscles looked like wriggling worms, and their dry grayish color made them look like tangled tree roots.

But no matter what, Liu Zheng could still feel the terrifying power from it.

"German is known as the number one hunter, but few people know that I taught him all his fighting skills."

Albert stretched his muscles, and the sound of his joints moving was like a large machine being started.

"Your strength astounds me, but your skills leave me in awe."

"Of course, out of respect for the God Slayer, I will still maintain the most cautious attitude."

He tore off the blindfold, and the place where his two eyes were originally was flat, without even the eye sockets.

But in the middle of the forehead, there was a huge and deformed vertical eye.

A closer look reveals that this vertical eye is made up of dozens of smaller eyeballs.

Liu Zheng was stared at by this vertical eye and suddenly felt unable to move his whole body.

"Goodbye, stranger. The next time we meet, it will probably be on the dissection table."

Albert bowed to him and then walked slowly towards him.

"I'm thinking about a question."

Liu Zheng struggled hard and finally got his mouth moving.

"Oh? What's the problem?"

Albert kept walking but asked.

"This body of yours shouldn't be a substitute, right?"

"Of course, cultivating a suitable substitute is also a very troublesome thing."

Albert replied.

"That's good. Well, do you want to look back?"

Liu Zheng reminded kindly.

"Ok?"

Albert was startled, but when he used his inner eyes to feel, he felt nothing.

"What's behind me?"

he asked.

"I can't tell you, why don't you just look at it yourself?"

"Then I'll wait until I've dealt with you."

Albert grinned and threw a heavy punch at Liu Zheng.

The force of this punch was astonishing.

Liu Zheng asked himself, if he were asked to do it, he would definitely not be able to throw such a punch.

Obviously, the old scholar was superior to him in both strength and skill.

"Oh, I told you to look back, but why didn't you listen?" Liu Zheng sighed.

Albert, who was swinging his fist, suddenly felt a breeze blowing behind his head. Alarm bells rang in his heart and he quickly shrank his head.

Sharp claws swept across his head, and before he had time to rejoice, another huge force came on his back.

Albert staggered forward a few steps, but he still didn't look back.

But under him, a small shadow suddenly grew larger, even covering both him and Liu Zheng.

"Meow meow serious PUNCH~"

With a delicate cry, a huge furry claw dropped from the sky and hit Albert on the head.

The great scholar didn't even have time to scream before he was beaten into a piece of hamburger meat.

"Liu Zheng, praise me~"

The calico cat, which had returned to its original size, came bouncing over, climbed onto Liu Zheng's shoulder and shouted.

"Salmon is awesome, salmon is awesome, salmon is the cutest and most handsome kitten in the world~"

He said as he tickled the calico cat's chin with his tentacle.

"Liu Zheng, I'm hungry. I want to eat some dried fish."

The calico cat purred comfortably.

The enlargement it just experienced was quite exhausting for it, and it needed to replenish its strength.

"We have finished eating the dried fish. It's okay. Someone will treat us to a big meal later."

Liu Zheng comforted.

"Oh, then I'll go to sleep, meow~"

The calico cat climbed onto his head again, then changed into the posture of a hen incubating eggs and closed its eyes.

"Sleep, sleep."

Liu Zheng said lovingly.

He walked to the edge of the lava pit and used his tentacles to roll up the huge blood gem.

Ignoring the burnt tentacles, he couldn't wait to look at the item introduction.

"Name: Giant Crescent Blood Gem (One-time use)"

"Type: Props/Miscellaneous"

"Quality: Perfect"

"Effect 1: Direct use can restore your own 'blood quality'."

"Effect 2: It can provide additional effects when embedded in a weapon."

"Note: I just want to have a baby with you, what's wrong with me!"

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

"Good boy, perfect grade junk."

Liu Zheng exclaimed in admiration.

And it's crescent-shaped. If it has a suitable additional effect, he dare not imagine how powerful it can be.

Now Liu Zheng felt that the Boning Knife, an excellent weapon, was not worthy of it. It should at least be matched with a weapon of perfect quality, right?
Come to think of it, Beethoven's Moonlight Sword seems to be pretty good.

Or maybe he could think of a way to trick the Moonlight Sword away from Beethoven?
He has saved the entire Athens, so it shouldn't be too much to ask for weapons of perfect quality as a reward, right?
Just as Liu Zheng was daydreaming, the piece of hamburger meat that Albert had turned into began to move.

"He's not dead yet? This old guy is really strong, isn't he?"

He complained as he retreated towards Meteorite Lake.

The calico cat, which seemed to be asleep, was instantly awakened and assumed a hunting posture.

However, the pool of rotten flesh squirmed for a while but did not turn into a human form. Instead, it grew many eyeballs that looked like pustules.

"Leave, Art."

As those eyeballs moved, a noisy sound entered the minds of Liu Zheng and the calico cat.

This sound is composed of countless tiny sounds, which are both harmonious and contradictory.

"who are you?"

Liu Zheng asked with a frown.

"You don't need to know, leave, or die."

said the voice.

"Impossible. I haven't completed my mission yet. If I go back, I'll die."

He flatly refused.

"."

The voice was silent for a long time. Just when Liu Zheng thought the talks were about to fail, a dozen pale little men walked out of the white mist.

Each of them held something, some held the umbilical cord of the Son of God, some held the Grail of Tomel, and some held the Blood Gem.

"Take it and leave."

The voice sounded a little impatient.

"Let's go!"

Liu Zheng put away all his things and said firmly.

The messengers with free hands laughed and held hands, dancing in a circle.

"Stand inside."

The voice urged.

"By the way, can you help me pass a message to the people of the Church of Pain, telling them that I have completed my mission and returned."

He thought for a moment and said.

"can."

"Thank you then."

Liu Zheng stepped into the circle formed by the messengers, and everything he saw immediately turned into thick white fog.

"The Metropolitan City has gone too far this time."

Before he felt a sense of weightlessness, the voice sounded again.

When the white mist in front of him dissipated, he had already returned to the outside of At City.

Looking at the city wall in front of him, Liu Zheng was eager to try.

After all, although the procurement tasks have been basically completed, Art still has a lot of benefits to get.

Apart from anything else, the giant blood gem that had just been obtained had not yet been inlaid.

Apart from Art, this technology may not be available anywhere else.

But after thinking for a while, he gave up this suicidal idea.

After all, even the metropolis knew about that unknown existence, so it was obviously not someone he could afford to offend.

"Gan, it just stopped like that. It's very uncomfortable, you know?"

Liu Zheng cursed, turned and walked towards the white gate.
-
"How much do you think that boy can accomplish?"

Bored 8848 asked while playing with the coffee machine.

According to regulations, every time they send someone out of the country, they have to wait at the door so that they can be prepared for any response.

This process is often very difficult.

After all, not only are there no entertainment facilities at the border, there isn't even any internet.

Therefore, gambling around people leaving the country is also one of the major entertainments for border control agency employees.

"Why don't you take a gamble on whether he can come back? It's not like he's going to some resort."

4399 said.

"How could someone who could cause such a big commotion in a metropolitan city die in a rural area like that, even if there are many unruly people there?"

8848 replied.

"You do know a lot about him. How much do you bet he can accomplish?"

4399 asked rhetorically.

"I bet he can get at least 70% done."

8848 said without hesitation.

"Do you mean the shopping list for the Bloody Restaurant, or the mission catalog for City Hall?"

"Of course it's from the City Hall. The shopping list for the Bloody Restaurant is no problem for him at all."

8848 said.

"hehe."

4399 curled his lips.

"What? You think 70% is too high?"

8848 laughed.
