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

Chapter 347: Stop fighting, you won’t kill anyone like this
"I just risked my life to throw the coin to the gravekeeper."

Liu Zheng started to play the emotional card.

"Then I just tried my best to make you escape."

Niu Ma also said so.

"Then I'll take you with me whenever I have any money-making work to do."

"Then I'll deliver the takeaway food for you."

"Then I."

"Then I."

The two began to take turns talking about what they had done for each other.

Two men who usually disdain even caring about each other, now want to say something like "let the other breathe less air" to each other.

"Forget it, forget it. My vacation will be over if I keep competing like this."

Liu Zheng waved his tentacles and said.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Let's play rock-paper-scissors."

He said.

"Do you think I'm stupid? What else can I do?"

Niuma rolled his eyes.

"Then throw the cane. Whoever the cane is pointing at will go."

Liu Zheng suggested.

"This is acceptable."

The cows and horses nodded.

He took out a human bone crutch and threw it into the air.

The cane flew high into the air and then smashed to the ground.

"Gan!"

The rounded end of the staff was facing him.

"Hahahaha, God is on my side, you won't be able to escape this beating."

Niuma laughed.

"Humph, with you here, it's hard to tell who Porco Rosso will beat first."

Liu Zheng kept talking stubbornly but walked to the tombstone resignedly.

"Boss Red Pig, the boss and I are here to see you."

He put the tomb sweeping items under the photo and said with gritted teeth.

"oxen and horses!"

The red pig stuck half of its body out, and its hideous face let out a furious roar.

It swung out an illusory and heavy fist, and the cold wind from the fist swept across the grave.

However, while it was shouting the names of cattle and horses, its fists were directed at Liu Zheng who was right in front of it.

"Fuck!"

He was gloating at first, but when he saw a fist as big as a sandbag hitting him, he was immediately shocked.

"No, why did you hit me by calling its name?"

He raised his tentacles to resist and shouted in defiance.

"You are not a good guy either, you all must die!"

Red Pig broke Liu Zheng's four tentacles with one punch, and then knocked him into the air with another uppercut.

"Ola Ola Ola!"

Before he landed, the red pig stretched out his body and punched him in the back continuously.

The cold breath of the undead froze Liu Zheng's limbs, making it impossible for him to resist.

Of course, if he used items, he could naturally fight back, but that would be a waste. After all, it was impossible for cows and horses to really kill him.

So, Liu Zheng could only endure the beating while cursing.

Sure enough, when the red pig delivered a fatal punch to his head, the bull-horse finally moved.

It turned around and raised its hind legs.

An invisible air bullet hit the red pig's head, shattering it along with its body.

Liu Zheng fell heavily to the ground, and was then poked by the horns of the cows and horses and thrown aside.

"Boss, you can beat it but you let me get beaten. I am not your most capable little brother."

He shouted with resentment.

"Nonsense, otherwise it would focus all its attention on beating you up, and it wouldn't be easy for me to succeed."

Niuma replied.

Sure enough, the red pig that was blown to pieces condensed into shape again, and its size was even bigger than before.

There was a red light in its big round eyes, and a pair of curved fangs grew in its mouth. It looked like the mutated wild boar in At's sewer.

"oxen and horses!"

The red pig roared again and pounced over from above.

"Porco Rosso, we are here to do serious business this time, so stop being crazy."

The cow-horse shouted.

How could the mad red pig listen to such words, especially when the ones speaking were the cows and horses it hated so much? It didn't slow down its pounce at all.

Of course, the cows and horses never expected to convince the pigs with reason, and their hooves were already raised when they spoke.

The two horse hooves and the two fists collided one after another, making a sound like stones hitting each other.

"not good!"

Feeling the strong aftermath, Liu Zheng immediately exclaimed.

However, the first thing he looked at was not the cows and horses, nor the red pigs, but the ground under the cows and horses' bodies.

Because he remembered the third rule of the cemetery that the old cowboy had mentioned.

"Those who damage public facilities in cemeteries shall pay compensation according to the price and be sentenced to forced labor."

Given the common nature of metropolitan landmarks, this forced labor is probably no different from life imprisonment.

The ground of a cemetery should also be considered a public facility.

The cattle and horses were also startled and looked at the ground.

Fortunately, the ground looked intact.

However, the Red Pig immediately seized the opportunity of its distraction and first delivered a heavy punch that deflected its blocking hoof, and then delivered an uppercut that blasted the cow and horse into the air.

Given the weight of cows and horses, their flying height would naturally not be as high as Liu Zheng's.

However, it was enough to take a set of combined punches.

"Ola Ola Ola!"

The red pig kept punching hard, and his nostrils were glowing red with excitement.

"grass!"

The cow and horse were caught off guard and received dozens of punches before they kicked off with their hind hooves and used the reaction force to escape from the beating.

"Did you do this on purpose?!"

After falling back to the ground, Niu Ma shouted at Liu Zheng with bared teeth.

"I swear to God, I really didn't mean it. Boss, be careful!"

he shouted.

"I'll settle the score with you later."

Niuma glared at him, then turned around and faced Red Pig's punch.

They fought for more than ten minutes.

The cattle and horses were beaten so badly that their bodies were bruised and several of their bones were broken.

The red pig's body was blown apart several times. Although its size did not shrink, it was obviously not as solid as it was at the beginning.

The red light in its eyes dimmed a lot, and its fangs shrank back a little.

However, they were very careful not to cause any damage to the cemetery's public facilities.

After another round of punches, the cow, horse and pig each retreated, glaring at each other and panting.

"Boss Red Pig, stop fighting. We came here to ask you about the Bathhouse Street."

Seeing that the cooking was almost done, Liu Zheng shouted loudly to the red pig.

"Bathhouse Street?"

The red light in the red pig's eyes trembled, and then looked at him.

"Why are you asking about Bathhouse Street?"

It clenched its fist.

If Liu Zheng can't give it a satisfactory answer, it will shift its target of hatred.

"There was a woman who fell in love with a pig like you. But she couldn't escape and was locked up. Her family entrusted me to rescue her," said Liu Zheng.

"Are you telling the truth about a woman falling in love with a pig?"

Porco Rosso asked.

"Of course, her name is Jingzi, and her boss is Grandma Yu. Sumireko from the Yakuzoku sento asked me to save her. Jingzi is her niece."

He said in one breath.

"Eyoko, Chihaya, Chihaya."

The red pig kept repeating his wife's name, and the red light and fangs gradually faded, and his body returned to its original size.

"Humph, Niuma, you finally dare to come and see me."

It spoke to the cows and horses.

"Who dares to come? I just don't have time to come. Do you think everyone is dead and has nothing to do like you? I have to support my family, okay?"

The cows and horses retorted.

"With your salary, you still have to support a family. Chihaya earns more than you."

Porco Rosso taunted.

In terms of salary, Bloody Restaurant does not really have any advantage over other companies.

"It's none of your business. You two earn more money, so why do you want me to pay for the cemetery?"

The cows and horses taunted back.

"Didn't we give you all our money?"

"It doesn't cost any money to get your undead soul out. Your inheritance is not enough. I have also lost a lot of money myself."

The cows and horses shouted.

"Who asked you to rescue me? Chihaya died, and I didn't want to live anyway. It's no use for you to meddle in other people's business."

Porco Rosso cursed.

"Black Claw is dead, Yellow Monkey is dead too. I am the only one left alive from the Animal Farm band. If you were dead, the band would be completely disbanded. So, you can't rest in peace. Even if you don't love Chihaya anymore, you have to continue to exist with your hatred for me."

Niuma said calmly.

"You son of a bitch, I will beat you to death next time, and then I will hold a concert in the cemetery."

Red Pig was silent for a long time, then cursed angrily.

"So what? I'm still the captain, and you still have to be my drummer."

Niuma said proudly.

"Hmph. What do you want to know?"

Red Pig ignored it and looked at Liu Zheng.

"Everything, as long as it's about Bathhouse Street."

he replied.

"After I became a dead person, I lost a lot of my memories. Even the ones I still remember are mostly fragmentary. If you don't ask specific questions, it's hard for me to know what I want to tell you."

Porco Rosso shook his head.

"Will this help you?"

Liu Zheng suddenly had an idea and took out the Hell Honey Yogurt.

"Hell yogurt? This is a good thing, but it's useless for the dead like us who have no physical body."

Said Porco Rosso.

"Okay. Then I want to know the information about Grandma Tang first."

He thought for a moment and said.

"Grandma Tang is in charge of more than half of the businesses on Bathhouse Street. Five of the top ten bathhouses are owned by her. She can be said to be the actual boss of Bathhouse Street."

Said Porco Rosso.

"Which is the largest bathhouse?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Since the eye's atavism needs to work in a large bathhouse, it will naturally work best in the largest bathhouse.

"The Hundred Demons Bathhouse. It is said that several councillors hold shares in this bathhouse, so they can get many things that other bathhouses cannot get, and receive guests that other bathhouses dare not receive. Especially the demons and ghosts of the Takamagahara clan, they especially like to come to this bathhouse to consume."

Said Porco Rosso.

"Takamagahara system?"

He blinked.

The goddess Amaterasu seemed to have said that as long as he showed the mark, the gods under her seat would take care of him.

If it is useful for the gods of the Takamagahara clan, it should also be useful for demons and monsters, right?
After all, in the Takamagahara mythology, demons and monsters have no power.

Only the Yamata-no-Orochi can compete with Susanoo, the younger brother of Amaterasu Omikami. Others, such as Tamamonomae and Shuten-doji, can be killed by mortals.

"What, you know?"

"You know one thing, I still have the mark of the main god of the Takamagahara system, see if you can use it."

As Liu Zheng spoke, he silently recited the honorable name of Dayi Nianggui in his heart.

Soon, a magatama phantom appeared in his right eye.

"The mark of the great Sun! Oxen and horses, your little brother is much more capable than you."

The red pig was shocked for a moment, then immediately mocked the cow and horse.

"Humph, this kid only knows how to use connections and backdoors. He is far behind in terms of real ability."

Niuma sneered.

"In this world, being able to fight is useless. No matter how good you are at fighting, can you beat Oink? Even if it is Oink, it is still hiding in the black market and can't get out. What is hard skill? Having money and power is hard skill."

Porco Rosso sneered.

"If you understand so well, why didn't you try to build connections?"

"I am a cursed commoner, neither a human nor a pig. Who can I go to for connections?"

Porco Rosso sighed.

The metropolis seems to be a place where hundreds of races live together, and people compete with each other based on their citizenship rank and bank position.

But in reality, if you want to build relationships, blood ties are more convenient and stable.

And the relationship among the same clan is a kind of blood relationship.

The red pig is neither a human nor a pig. Neither humans nor pigs will consider it as one of their own.

The reason why Liu Zheng was favored by the "anti-favor faction" in the city hall was, firstly, because his black goat kid bloodline was reversible, and secondly, because his performance was outstanding enough to make the "anti-favor faction" look at him differently.

"Okay, you're already dead, why are you still complaining? Let's get down to business."

The cow and horse interrupted it.

"With this mark, your actions in the Hundred Demons Bathhouse will be much smoother. But this is based on the premise that you are going there for normal consumption. If you want to save people, you will still run into trouble."

Porco Rosso got back to the point.

"That's good."

Liu Zheng nodded.

At least this way he could go to the Hundred Demons Bathhouse and gather a little more information.

"That's all I know about the Hyakkiryo Bathhouse, because I was cursed in another bathhouse."

Said Porco Rosso.

"Well, since Grandma Tang controls half of the bathing street, there must be someone who wants to take her place as the boss in the remaining half, right?"

He asked after thinking for a moment.

"That's right. Niuma, your little brother is much smarter than you."

While giving his answer, Red Pig did not forget to mock the cows and horses.

The cattle and horses looked up at the sky and pretended not to hear.

"There is a bathhouse called Gaga Shuang on Bathhouse Street. This bathhouse was only opened 20 years ago, but it became one of the top ten bathhouses in Bathhouse Street in less than five years. I heard that it mainly provides catering and bathing services, especially the variety of catering products is unique in Bathhouse Street."

Said Porco Rosso.

“Who’s behind them?”

Liu Zheng asked.

The fact that it was able to emerge as a dark horse in the already well-divided bathing street was certainly not just due to word of mouth from customers.

"It is said that he is a director of the city hall. However, they rely not only on the connections behind them, but mainly on unity, courage to fight, and ability to fight."

"I heard that they had a fight with Grandma Tang's men outside before they opened in Bathhouse Street. It was said that the fight was very fierce, all of Grandma Tang's men were killed, and one third of the Gaga Shuang bath masters were also killed. When they opened, they didn't have enough staff, and they had to borrow people temporarily from the bathhouses in the city."

Said Porco Rosso.

"."

He always felt that it sounded strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"On Bathhouse Street, if anyone dares to confront Grandma Tang head-on, it can only be the Gaga Shuang Bathhouse. If you can get their support, the success rate of saving people will be greatly improved."

"Then how can we get the support of the Gaga Shuang Bathhouse?"

Liu Zheng asked.
