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

Chapter 429: A Chinese Ghost Story in Metropolis
"Grandma Dryad."

The gravekeeper said.

"what?"

Liu Zheng looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"The tree demon is a hermaphroditic monster that feeds on the yang energy of males."

"You don't need to introduce it, I know what it is."

He boldly interrupted the gravekeeper's introduction.

"Ah."

The gravekeeper was not angry either.

If the plane tree became the tree demon, then Natasha would be Nie Xiaoqian, and in her next life she would become Ning Caichen?
What is the legendary delivery man? Yan Chixia or the Black Mountain Demon?

"Well, it seems that this plan can only be abandoned."

Liu Zheng said regretfully.

With its cocky look, the plane tree certainly wouldn't want to turn into a monster like the tree demon.

To be honest, the branches of the tree look like the tree demon with skeletons hanging on them.

Even if it does not choose to evolve into a phoenix in the end, it can choose to evolve into a tree spirit.

Judging from the appearance of the wood elf, the tree spirit is still more dignified than the dryad.

"Oh, yes, there is one more thing."

Liu Zheng said somewhat embarrassedly.

"You're getting a little annoying."

The gravekeeper said calmly.

"The last one, I promise."

He said quickly.

"If this isn't the last one, today will be your last day."

The gravekeeper said calmly.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Liu Zheng wiped the non-existent cold sweat.

The communication between the two sides was too smooth, and the gravekeeper's performance was too abstract and Buddhist, which made him almost forget that the other party was a big shot at the same level as Si Xue and Kong Que.

In a sense, the gravekeeper is even more terrifying than other bosses.

"I have a friend whose daughter went wrong when she was transformed into a mummy and became a dumbass."

"I heard that there is a plant in the cemetery that looks like a brain and can increase the wisdom of the deceased, so he asked me to help get some."

Liu Zheng explained the whole story.

"One hundred thousand."

The gravekeeper said after listening.

"Ok."

He deftly took out the money and placed it on the coffin lid.

The gravekeeper blew a whistle, and soon a humanoid creature came running from a distance.

It has elastic skin like rubber, feet like hooves, a face like a dog, and long, sharp claws like a cat.

Its body is also covered with a layer of fungus that is mainly yellow-brown and green, like a patient with severe ringworm.

The humanoid creature came in front of Liu Zheng, with greedy gleams in its yellow-green eyes and smelly saliva dripping from its mouth.

"If you look at me like that again, I'll chop you up and throw you into the sewer to feed the fish."

Liu Zheng said coldly.

After experiencing so many battles, he also had an intuitive sense of the enemy's strength.

“malahe hadu wlaopq.”

The humanoid spoke a string of obscure words to him.

"Grandpa doesn't understand your bullshit, speak the common language to me."

Liu Zheng said bluntly.

The greed in the humanoid's eyes turned into contempt, and he turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

"Hey, I'm so grumpy."

This is because he couldn't figure out the relationship between the creature in front of him and the gravekeeper, otherwise he would have to pull out its vocal cords to see if it could speak human language.

"That's ghoul language. It says you look delicious."

The gravekeeper translated.

"I think it has a lot of collagen. Can I kill it now, Mr. Gravekeeper?"

Liu Zheng pulled out his butcher knife and said.

"Not right now. But if you join the cemetery's account, I can arrange a duel for you."

The gravekeeper said.

"Tsk, then let it live for now."

He put away his butcher knife.

If I join the cemetery, doesn’t that mean I become a dead person?

"Give him the stuff."

The gravekeeper did not dwell on this topic, but spoke to the ghoul.

"Your will is at your service, noble protector of the dead."

The ghoul responded respectfully, then clenched his claws into fists and pounded his bulging belly hard.

After being beaten continuously, its abdomen not only did not get smaller, but it got bigger and bigger.

It wasn't until the ghoul's belly felt like it was pregnant with octuplets that it finally stopped pounding, then opened its bloody mouth and retched.

One by one, flesh and blood roots that looked like nerves emerged from the mouth, followed by stems that looked like blood vessels, and finally a flower bud that looked like a human brain.

When the strange plant completely left its body, the ghoul's abdomen also shrank.

It saluted the gravekeeper, gave Liu Zheng a provocative look, and turned away.

"Just wait, I'll make you a dog meat hot pot sooner or later."

He raised three tentacles and gave a middle finger.

"give it to me."

The gravekeeper paid no attention to their conflict.

"Oh well."

Liu Zheng rolled up the flesh and blood plant, and the item introduction popped up immediately.

"Name: Dead Person's Brain (One-time)"

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect: After use, all attributes are increased by 5, and intelligence is greatly improved. This only takes effect when the player is a 'dead'."

“Note: No, I’ve grown into this size, is there anyone who wants to eat me?”

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

Naive, if your effect is to enhance sexual performance, then it would be useless even if you looked ten times more disgusting than you do now.

While he was looking at the notes and complaining, he stretched the dead man's brain onto the coffin.

The gravekeeper reached out and grabbed the dead man's brain, and orange flames spread from his palm toward the plant.

Soon, the brain of the deceased was burned to ashes, leaving only a walnut-like fruit.

The gravekeeper threw it casually, and Liu Zheng quickly waved his tentacles to catch it, and the item introduction popped up again.

"Name: Dead Person's Brain Core (One-time)"

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect: Slowly improve intelligence, only effective when the player is 'dead'."

"Note: Even if you keep me on your back for ten thousand years, your intelligence won't improve at all."

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

Not only did the effect of improving all attributes disappear, but the effect of improving intelligence also became a slow improvement, which obviously cannot be said to be a strengthening.

"Mr. Gravekeeper, why do you want to turn the dead's brains into their cores?"

Liu Zheng expressed his confusion.

"The brain of the dead is a parasite. If the dead person's self-awareness is not strong enough, his personality will be assimilated by the brain of the dead."

"The brain core of the dead has no self-awareness. The intelligence of the dead is supplemented on the basis of their own personality."

The gravekeeper explained.

"I see."

It dawned on him.

This point is not mentioned in the item introduction, and it is not known whether players are not affected by this or the item introduction is not comprehensive.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

He thanked me sincerely.

Given how much Dr. Nile likes Sesha, he would definitely rather have a stupid daughter than a plant in his daughter's skin. "But how slow is this?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"For mummies, about a hundred years."

The gravekeeper thought for a moment and said.

"so long?"

"Oh, it doesn't seem to be that long."

He blurted out, then immediately reacted.

For human beings, a hundred years is a lifetime.

But for an immortal species like a mummy, a hundred years may just be enough time for a good night's sleep.

"Any thing else?"

The gravekeeper asked.

"No, absolutely not. Take your time soaking. I'm leaving now."

Liu Zheng said without hesitation, and then walked out of the cemetery.

Back in the van, he called Dr. Nile.

It rang for a while, but still no answer.

"Ok?"

He immediately called Guokou Tangzi, but still no answer.

"Something happened, hurry back to Rose Street."

Liu Zheng immediately said to the driver.

"In Ordnung (No problem)."

The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the truck's exhaust pipe immediately emitted a violent roar.

Although it was just a truck, with the help of high-tech modifications and superb driving skills, Liu Zheng quickly returned to Rose Street.

As soon as he reached the street corner, Liu Zheng heard the sound of fierce fighting.

Continuing to drive forward, the crowns of the plane trees cast huge shadows in the setting sun.

And in the shadows, two groups of people were fighting fiercely.

One of them is naturally the tree protection team consisting of Niu Daji, Doctor Nile and the Jiwei Group.

The other group consisted of five tall and thin humanoid creatures wearing black armor, trident helmets, and holding alien sabers.

Although the black-armored men were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they did not fall into a disadvantage thanks to their flexible backs and superb martial arts, and they were even constantly squeezing the defense circle of the tree protection team.

However, the tree protection team was not injured. Instead, one of the men in black armor had his arm cut, and blood was dripping from the cracks in the arm armor.

“Can this car fight?”

Seeing this, Liu Zheng asked the driver.

"It is not equipped with a combat module, but its armor and power are both at the level of an armored vehicle."

The driver replied.

"Then just run into it."

he said flatly.

"Hahaha, as you wish!"

The driver laughed wildly and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

When a huge creature weighing dozens of tons rushes towards you at a speed of more than 30 meters per second, no one can ignore it, not even these non-humans who are fighting.

However, when the tree protection team saw the oncoming truck, they showed expressions of surprise, while these black-armored men only had astonishment in their eyes.

A man in black armor pulled out a dagger from his waist and threw it hard towards the truck.

The dagger hit the glass of the cab in a graceful parabola with a sharp sound.

After a sharp and piercing friction sound, the dagger fell down and was run over by the wheels, but the glass was unharmed.

"You think you can penetrate my armor with this little thing? Fire a round of artillery fire first, idiot."

The driver gave a disdainful smile.

The man in black armor who threw the dagger frowned and made a gesture.

After receiving the order, the other men in black armor immediately retreated in all directions in a loose formation.

I have to say, they were really quick.

Even though they were wearing full body armor, they were still as agile as a group of well-trained monkeys.

When the truck rushed in front of the plane tree, there was no suitable target to hit.

However, Liu Zheng was not disappointed. He just wanted to interrupt the opponent's attack.

"Is everything okay?"

he asked, jumping out of the cab.

"It's okay. This heirloom in your hand is really strong. It has blocked the opponent's sneak attacks several times."

Doctor Nile said after taking a breath.

Liu Zheng looked at Niu Daji beside him. There were several scratches of varying depths on the heavy armor passed down from his ancestors.

"Well done."

he praised.

"Hey, I can't embarrass you, Boss."

Niu Daji puffed out his chest proudly.

"How are you?"

Liu Zheng looked at the five people from the Jiwei Group again.

"It's just a small scene. When we fought with the Black Dragon Society for territory, the battle was much more intense than this."

Guokou Tangzi said lightly.

"Where's Dai Lego?"

He looked at the plane tree. The human face on the tree had its eyes closed, and the hands that had grown last time had retracted into the trunk.

"I don't know. I shouted 'Mince! Why are there so many?!' Then there was no movement. Maybe something went wrong."

Said the soup from the pot.

".Fine."

Liu Zheng was speechless.

Fortunately, he was cautious enough and arranged a tree protection team, otherwise this guy would have killed himself from overeating and sleepiness.

It was the same last time. I knew that the wine sold by Niuma was fake, but I still insisted on drinking it. I really don’t learn my lesson at all.

"Friends on the other side, which road are you from? Let's all tell each other our names and home addresses, so that the flood won't wash away the Dragon King Temple and cause trouble."

Liu Zheng protected everyone behind him, arched his tentacles towards the black-armored man who threw the dagger, and spoke loudly.

The man in black armor looked at the delivery man's uniform on him, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"Are you the delivery man from the Bloody Restaurant?"

The bass voice is hoarse and magnetic, but it inexplicably gives people a gloomy feeling.

"Yes."

He nodded.

"Are you the Niuma or the Liu Zheng?"

The man in black armor asked again.

"Niu Ma is my boss, I am Liu Zheng."

Liu Zheng replied.

Hearing his answer, the shadow of the black-armored man under his helmet seemed to tremble.

"Someone is offering you a million for your life."

The man in black armor suddenly said.

"It's only one million. Isn't that too much of a disdain for me?"

Liu Zheng said contemptuously.

"It costs me more than this to go out and have fun. If you are short of money, I can give you three million right now to kill the person who wants to kill me. Payment first, life later. You can pay at any time. Just consider it as making friends."

He said it generously.

The belongings he had on him must be worth three million. Even if the other party only wanted cash, Dr. Nile and Jiwei could definitely come up with the money together.

Wait until the plane tree wakes up, and then ask it to pay back the money.

"There's no need to make friends. Hand over the bodies of the Wood Elf kings and we'll leave right away."

Liu Zheng's generosity seemed to shock the man in black armor, and he was silent for a long time before speaking.

"That's impossible. The corpse of the Wood Elf King was allocated to me by the restaurant, and I delivered it to this tree. No one except the owner of our Bloody Restaurant can order me to hand it over to someone else."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"A corpse of a wood elf royal family can alarm the owner of the Bloody Restaurant? I don't believe it."

The man in black armor expressed doubt.

"It doesn't matter. You will believe it when I deliver the takeaway to you."

His tone at this moment was even colder than that of the man in black armor.
