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

Chapter 645 Don't bite your brain out, I still have errands to run in a bit.

"It's already opened. Besides the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, there are a few other things left. I'll give them to you together later."

The Fool replied.

"Could it be ashes?"

Liu Zheng said, half-jokingly.

"Haha, Mr. Deliveryman, you're really joking. A corpse burned by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, of course, won't even leave ashes."

The fool laughed loudly.

"Tsk, I guess you could call it karma."

He pieced together the love-hate relationship between the two men from the few words the Taoist priest spoke.

"Does the delivery driver have anything else to do?"

The fool asked the question.

"Indeed. Does Boss Fool know anyone in the Ministry of Health?"

Liu Zheng replied frankly.

"I don't know them. What do you want with someone from the Ministry of Health?"

"Well, I have a friend..."

He recounted Bai Tianshi's story again.

"I see. I'll go tell the chairman and ask him to contact the Ministry of Culture."

"That's what the Fool said."

"No, don't alarm the guild leader yet. Let's wait until I really have no other choice before asking the guild leader for help."

Liu Zheng quickly replied.

The favors of the Writers Association president are too valuable; it would be a waste to use them now. We should wait until all other avenues have been exhausted before considering it.

"Okay, just let me know if you need anything. By the way, when will I give you those things?"

The fool asked.

"Mr. Fool, if it's convenient for you, let's do it now."

"Okay, let's meet at the clinic then."

The fool hung up the phone before the man could refuse.

"This is really like a kitten driving a Land Rover."

Liu Zheng clicked his tongue in amazement.

"What would happen if the Fool really mated with the Sphinx? A sphinx with a cat's head? Or a cat with a human's head? It seems like either way would be very strange."

Lost in his thoughts, he started the sports car.

When he arrived at the clinic, the Fool was already snuggling up to the Sphinx.

"Miss Sphinx, this is the latest premium catnip from Meow Meow Club. It not only tastes delicious, but it also aids digestion and refreshes the mind."

"This is fish oil imported from the Deep Sea Empire. It not only helps with bowel movements but also dissolves hair and other impurities in the stomach and intestines. Its safety factor is 99.99%."

The Fool is like a salesman, constantly peddling various products to the Sphinx.

The Sphinx, on the other hand, played with a large ball of yarn with a blank expression, like an autistic person.

"Cough cough."

Although Liu Zheng found it amusing, business was more important, so he still spoke up to remind the two cats of his arrival.

"Human, get this annoying guy away from me right now, or I'll have to take action!"

The sphinx cried out to him as if he had seen a savior.

"You can't beat it anyway."

"What did you say?"

The sphinx cast a dangerous glance at Liu Zheng.

The meaning is obvious: if I can't beat it, can't I beat you?

"Ahem, I always say a mother doesn't argue with a father. Foolish Boss, did you bring the things?"

Liu Zheng changed the subject.

"Hey, come with me."

The Fool reluctantly left the Sphinx and led him back to the carriage.

"This is the Red Lotus Karmic Fire."

He took a lighter out of the carriage, and a cluster of eerie red flames floated in the lighter's gas tank.

"When you need to take it out, just press the ignition mechanism, and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire will shoot out from the nozzle."

"If you're going to use it against an enemy, you can just throw the lighter at them, but I don't recommend doing that."

The Fool's Introduction.

"why?"

"Because this lighter was actually written by the chairman, its condition is very unstable. It's fine to carry or move it, but if you use too much force to stimulate it, it may break down directly, which could hurt you instead."

The Fool explained.

"Can a narrator really create something out of nothing?"

Liu Zheng was shocked.

“Narrators can not only create something from nothing, but also turn something into nothing, whether it is an inanimate object, a living object, or even a rule.”

"Many of the rules, races, and even territories of the metropolis were written by narrators throughout history."

"The fool said proudly."

This is an open secret within the Writers' Association, so it's not a big deal for them to reveal some of it.

"Doesn't that make him the creator god?"

"More or less. However, the narrator does not have a divine status and cannot rely on the power of the world's origin like the creator god. But just as they are not bound by the divine status and the world's will, their lower limit is lower than that of the creator god, while their upper limit is higher."

The Fool nodded.

"Are there any narrators who have reached their limit now?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"Sir, it's impolite of you to talk like that."

The Fool nodded and said.

"Haha. What about the rest?"

Liu Zheng tactfully skipped over the topic.

"Here, this is what's left over from the coffin."

The Fool then took out a jade pendant from the carriage, on which was engraved a constantly changing yin-yang symbol.

"what is this?"

He took the jade pendant, but no item description popped up.

"This should be the sect's legacy of the person in the coffin. The guild leader has already lifted the restrictions. You just need to inject your magic power or divine sense into it to use it."

"Don't worry, Mr. Deliveryman. The Chairman only lifted the restriction and did not pry into the contents."

"That's what the Fool said."

"Well, I don't care about that. You and the Chairman can think whatever you want. The main thing is that I have neither magic power nor divine sense."

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

"It's okay, I believe the deliveryman will learn it quickly."

The fool encouraged.

"Thank you for your kind words."

He said it with difficulty.

The Fool's speed and his speed are probably not the same concept.

"Um, delivery driver, there's something I'd like to ask you."

The fool suddenly became embarrassed.

"You say."

Why is Miss Sphinx so hostile towards me?

Fools do not understand the Way.

In terms of strength, there are very few cats in the entire Metropolitan area that can rival it.

In terms of status, even a high-ranking official at the deputy ministerial level in the city hall would have to greet it with a smile.

In terms of appearance, although not as stunning as a male calico cat, black cats are still quite good-looking in the cat world.

"It's not targeting you; it's against everyone."

Liu Zheng laughed.

The Sphinx had been a security guard for the Nile doctor for many years, and the two "people" were even from the same hometown, yet it still didn't give the latter a friendly look.

"But I think it's quite affectionate towards you."

"You felines call it intimacy when you turn your butts towards someone?"

He squinted and said.

"No, not at all. But we wouldn't turn our backs on someone we don't trust."

"That's what the Fool said."

"There is still trust, after all, they are comrades who have been through life and death together."

Liu Zheng told the Sphinx about fighting the divine monster together.

"The life of a food delivery driver is truly colorful."

The fool sighed.

"The Fool must have had a similar experience, right?"

To reach this position, one couldn't have done it solely through writing books.

"Of course there are. But most of the time it's just tedious training and work, unlike the deliveryman who gets thrills every day."

"Believe me, I don't want this kind of thrill at all."

Liu Zheng said through gritted teeth.

“Hahaha, that’s how the Metropolis is. Everyone can get something here, but most of the time it’s not what they want,” the Fool laughed.

That's really disgusting.

"Yes. Well then, Mr. Deliveryman, I'll take my leave now."

The Fool removed his hat and bowed to the Sphinx not far away.

"Goodbye, Mr. Fool."

Liu Zheng waved goodbye.

"If you let it bother me again, I'll use your head as a teething toy."

After the Fool's carriage had gone far away, the Sphinx threatened.

"It's not like I made it bother you. Besides, if you're unhappy, why don't you just tell it?"

He said speechlessly.

"What if I offend its pride and it resorts to force?"

The sphinx retorted.

"Hey, you're not stupid after all."

"Nonsense, if I weren't smart, would the Nile River hire me as a bodyguard?"

The sphinx rolled its eyes.

"That's true. You can continue to pester him then; it's like having an extra bodyguard, which is quite good."

Liu Zheng waved his tentacle.

"You despicable human, I'll bite you to death!"

The sphinx roared and grabbed his skull in its jaws, crunching and chewing in its fury.

"Bite it, bite it, it feels like my brain is growing, it's quite itchy."

He spoke nonchalantly, letting his head turn into a bloody gourd.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't Thirteen Orphans be back by now?"

Liu Zheng put the lighter into the broken mandarin duck wallet and called Thirteen Orphans.

"I thought you'd forgotten about me."

Thirteen Orphans is answered instantly.

"How could that be? I might forget, but you can't forget my own pipe, Minister."

He said with a grin.

"Tch. I've got the fire for you. When are you coming to pick it up?"

Thirteen asked.

"I'm coming right now. By the way, you can send a sedan chair to pick people up from the city, right?"

Liu Zheng asked.

“That’s right. But that service is only available to VIPs. Regular customers can only call a rickshaw, and they have to make a reservation.”

Thirteen replied.

"Then let's just get a VIP card. Didn't I rip off Shao Yanming? I might as well give him his spot."

He said it nonchalantly.

"Fine. If I really do that, the moment you enter the Hundred Ghosts Parade, the gods from all directions will come and beat you up. Even if you're made of iron, how many nails can you hammer?"

Thirteen Orphans sneered.

"Hehe, let's forget about it then. I'm sure you have another way, Minister."

Liu Zheng decisively admitted defeat.

"I haven't enjoyed any of your good fortune, but I've done a lot of things for you. I'm not even this good to my own son."

Thirteen Orphans said indignantly.

"Don't you have no son?"

"Yes, that's why I feel even more cheated."

"Then you can treat me like half a son. Don't worry, if you ever need anything, just let me know. If I refuse even once, Grandma Tang will crush me to death."

He swore an oath.

"Who are you trying to imply, you little brat?!"

Thirteen Yao roared angrily.

"Hehe, I'm just trying to make my vow more powerful."

"Pah, you're a wicked little devil, you'd be a fool to believe you. Where are you going to pick me up?"

Thirteen asked.

"Imhotem Clinic. Do I need to provide the street and house number?"

"No need, just wait."

Thirteen said in a tone that suggested a fight, and then hung up the phone.

"By the way, there should be news about Grandpa Hachijo's granddaughter's situation, right?"

He called the deputy director.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Liu. Did Li Ziming not return your call?"

Before he could speak, the deputy director said.

"I'm sorry, I don't necessarily want to rush them, but the child's parents are just anxious."

Liu Zheng said tactfully.

"Understood, I'll have Li Ziming call you back right away."

"grateful."

He hung up the phone.

It's so comfortable talking to smart people; it saves both mental and verbal effort.

Of course, the premise is that the smart one has to be a "person".

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes at the sphinx above his head.

"You dare roll your eyes at me!"

The sphinx was enraged and bit even harder.

After waiting a few minutes, a call came in from an unfamiliar number.

"Alright, stop biting. You're going to bite your brain off. I have to go out and run errands later."

Liu Zheng took out a handful of dried fish and held them out in front of the Sphinx.

"Humph!"

The sphinx released his head, picked up the dried fish, and walked away.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I forgot to call you back."

The call connected, and Li Ziming spoke cautiously.

"Forget it this time, it won't happen next time."

He said calmly.

"Okay okay."

"How's the matter going?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Everything's taken care of. We slashed the face of the prettiest girl in her class, and she's hiding at home crying now. We also slept with the most handsome guy in the class next to hers, and now he avoids us like the plague whenever he sees Oma Mirai."

Li Ziming said smugly.

"The only problem is that they're the top students in their grade."

After a pause, he continued.

"what happened?"

"That guy's grades are consistently high enough to get into the top university in the city, so the people at the school take him quite seriously. Before my friends could even say anything when a passing teacher came over and asked them what they were up to."

Li Ziming said.

"And what about after school?"

“He was always picked up and dropped off by a special car from school, and he wouldn’t come out after arriving home, so there was really no opportunity to make a move.”

Li Ziming said helplessly.

"He needs to go to the bathroom sometimes, right?"

“The school also knows that toilets are high-risk areas for accidents, so he is accompanied by security personnel when he goes to the toilet.”

Li Ziming expressed his despair.

"Hey, their school protects him so well, why don't they protect Oma Mirai too?"

Liu Zheng was both amused and annoyed.

"The main problem is that Oma Mirai only excels in math; her other subjects are just okay. And her math isn't good enough to compete in competitions, so the school doesn't bother with her anymore."

Li Ziming replied.

"As expected, you need to have united front value no matter where you go."

he sighed.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. Although we can't deal with that kid for now, we have arranged shifts to protect Feng Mo Wei Lai and make sure she won't be bullied at school."

Li Ziming said.

"We still need to address the problem at its root."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

There's no such thing as a thousand days to catch thieves, but a thousand days to guard against them.

Moreover, Li Ziming's cronies are all troublemakers; you can expect them to bully people, but expecting them to protect people is pure nonsense.

"What do you suggest? We'll do as you say."

"I said?"

A sinister smile appeared on Liu Zheng's face.
