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

Chapter 646 Three landmarks to serve you, isn't that a small blessing?

He has many solutions.

He asked Li Ziming's friend to order takeout, and then stormed into the school and beat the top student so badly he was paralyzed.

They would stake out the school gate, smash the school bus first, and then invite the top student to eat a buffet in the sewers.

Go find Napoleon and ask for a super concentrated Mr. Bean juice, then just shove the whole cup into the top student's mouth.

It's hard to cultivate a person, but it's all too easy to ruin one.

"I understand about this. I'll let you know when I've made my decision."

Liu Zheng said.

With two of the three bullies gone and Li Ziming's friends protecting him, Fengmo should be fine for the time being. He should deal with the matters at hand first.

"By the way, their school should have a well, right?"

It suddenly occurred to him.

"There should be, right?"

Li Ziming said this without much certainty.

"Let them search and try to hide it as much as possible. If they find it, don't make a fuss, and definitely don't go down there yourselves. Without my prior arrangements, you'll just turn into manure if you go down."

Liu Zheng warned.

"Okay, Mr. Liu."

Li Ziming obediently replied.

"Well, that's it for now."

He hung up the phone.

If there were a sewer, it would be easy. We could lure the top student to the vicinity of the sewer, then he could suddenly emerge, drag the student down, and then do whatever he wanted.

After waiting a while, eight little monsters wearing white short sleeves on their upper bodies and red loincloths on their lower bodies carried a sedan chair to Liu Zheng.

These little monsters were all less than three feet tall and very thin, but they were not bad looking. Apart from the horns on their foreheads, they looked like handsome young servants.

"Excuse me, are you Lord Liu Zheng?"

Wearing a small black pointed hat, the little monster, who seemed to be the leader, asked respectfully.

"it's me."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"We are the palanquin bearers of the Hyakki Gyo Bathhouse, and we have come here especially to welcome you."

The little monster said.

"Okay. Please keep an eye on my car."

He shouted at the Sphinx.

The Sphinx didn't want to pay attention to him, but just flicked its tail, probably to indicate that it knew.

"Please get into the sedan chair, sir."

The little monster put down the sedan chair and then lifted the curtain.

Liu Zheng bent down and climbed into the sedan chair. The space inside was much larger than it looked from the outside; it could easily fit two oxen or horses.

"Sir, if you feel unwell or have any other problems, you can tell us to stop, but please do not jump out of the sedan chair yourself, and it is best not to lift the curtain."

The little monster's voice came from outside the sedan chair.

"understood."

With a sudden feeling of weightlessness, the sound of synchronized footsteps echoed outside the sedan chair.

Liu Zheng knew that the sedan chair was about to start moving.

The little monsters carried him very steadily, and he didn't feel any bumps at all, as if he were skateboarding on an absolutely smooth track.

However, the wind noise was terrifying, making the sedan chair rattle and pop. Through the gaps in the lifted curtains, one could see the rapidly changing scenery outside.

Although he was curious, Liu Zheng refrained from lifting the curtain to take a peek.

From this point of view, he possessed the talent to get a job in a factory.

After resting with my eyes closed for a while, the wind noise suddenly disappeared.

"My lord, we have arrived at the bathhouse. You may alight from your sedan chair now."

The little monster said.

"it is good."

Liu Zheng lifted the curtain and stepped out of the sedan chair, where the Hundred Ghosts Bathhouse was right outside.

"For your reward."

He took out a wad of banknotes and placed them on the little monster's hat.

"Thank you, sir."

The little monsters said happily.

Although they weren't hundred-yuan bills, each of them could still get more than a hundred yuan.

"Ah."

Liu Zheng nodded and walked into the Hall of a Hundred Ghosts.

"Sir, please come with me."

As soon as I entered, Yoko came up to me and said respectfully with her head bowed.

Why don't you just call me Dad?

He rolled his eyes.

"What did you say?!"

Caught off guard, Yoko said with a mixture of shame and anger.

"Then what are you yelling about here? Calling me 'adult'? Believe me, I'll shout 'Mom' right now."

Liu Zheng threatened.

"How can you be like this?"

Yoko remained silent.

"You've seen it today, so what? Go ahead and hit me, you idiot."

"If I weren't still at work, I guarantee I'd beat you up."

Yoko said through gritted teeth.

"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way for me, or I'll complain about you."

He had a scoundrel-like look on his face.

"Humph!"

Yoko secretly pinched the soft flesh of his waist, twisting it fiercely in her anger, and only let go when they reached the door of the private room.

"I said you went too far, you pinched the flesh until it turned color."

Liu Zheng glanced at his waist and complained.

"You're so foul-mouthed. If you weren't a guest, I would have pinched your balls."

Yoko said fiercely.

"Wow, I never expected you to be like this, Yoko."

He feigned shock.

"Hmph, I've been able to stay in the bathhouse for so long, of course I'm not someone to be trifled with."

Yoko said domineeringly.

She originally intended to play the role of a Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman), but this guy was just too annoying, so she decided to lay her cards on the table.

"Impressive, impressive. Next time, I'll treat you to some meat in the sewers."

Liu Zheng said in a very serious tone.

"Say it again!"

Yoko flicked out sharp nail plates from her ten fingers, resembling small daggers.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, alright?"

He gave a perfunctory reply while pulling open the paper door and entering the private room.

"You two were having a lively chat outside. I thought you were about to fight."

Thirteen Orphans made a startling remark.

"Where is more interesting here than in the wild?"

Liu replied without changing his expression.

"So you're quite experienced?"

Thirteen Orphans raised an eyebrow.

"So-so, mainly because I have a lot of theoretical knowledge."

While the subject matter of the films may be slightly better, they have won far more in terms of sales.

"Oh? Then I'll have to ask you for your guidance."

Thirteen Orphans became interested.

"Is this the only thing you two are meeting to discuss?"

Yoko, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore.

"That's right, let's discuss it next time. Let's get down to business first."

Liu Zheng said.

"Pretentious. Here you go."

Thirteen took out a corn pipe and handed it to him.

Liu Zheng took the corn pipe and then took out a lighter.

"You all need to stay away."

he ordered.

"Who are you talking to, kid?"

Thirteen was very dissatisfied with his tone.

"Then you absolutely mustn't leave, just stay here. Anyone who leaves is a coward."

"Hey, I'm leaving. Go ahead and hit me if you dare."

The provocation worked, and Thirteen Orphans immediately hid in a corner.

"Men are so childish." Yoko shook her head helplessly and hid in another corner.

Liu Zheng turned the pipe upside down, aligning the bowl with the lighter's nozzle.

He pressed the button, and a dazzling flame shot out, blooming into a lotus flower.

A tremendous fear welled up in his veins, compelling him to distance himself from this near-natural enemy.

The fear was so intense that Liu Zheng could barely control his body.

Fortunately, the corn pipe came in handy at this moment, sucking all the flaming lotus flowers into the bowl.

"Whoo~"

He breathed a sigh of relief.

No wonder the Fool advised him to avoid using the lighter against his enemies. In a life-or-death situation, he gave himself a strong control effect, and the enemy would laugh themselves to death before being burned to death.

"It's alright now, you can come over here."

Liu Zheng said to Yangzi and the other person.

"Where did you get such a dangerous flame this time, kid?"

A trace of fear still lingered on Thirteen Yao's face.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire burns both the physical body and the soul; no sentient being is unafraid of it.

"It's a long story. Minister, what kind of fire is that?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Who has time to name a fire? Hmm, let's call it Asura Hellfire."

Thirteen Orphans thought for a moment and then said.

"Oh."

He has now collected six kinds of flames: the Blazing Sun Flame, the Snowfire, the Phoenix Flame, the Kitchen Knife's Fury, the Asura Hellfire, and the Red Lotus Karmic Flame. He is still one flame short of the Gravekeeper's requirement.

Once the white-feathered chicken gives him the promised hearth fire, all seven flames will be gathered.

"Hey Renhe, your pipe's smoking!"

Just as I was thinking, Thirteen Orphans suddenly shouted.

"Ok?"

Liu Zheng looked at the corn pipe, and wisps of smoke were indeed rising from the bowl.

"I rely on!"

He was startled; this was about to cause an uproar.

Just as Liu was about to put the corn pipe into the system space, the lighter suddenly melted into a drop of ink and then automatically flew into the bowl.

The original yellowish-brown corn pipe was quickly stained black, and no more blue smoke came out of the bowl.

Name: The Perfect Fire-Resistant Pipe

Type: Equipment

Quality: Perfect

"Effect 1: It can absorb and store a large amount of high-quality flames. The item will be destroyed once the storage limit is exceeded."

"Effect 2: It gives tobacco a unique flavor. The higher the quality and variety of the flames stored, the better the flavor."

"Note: Once every fiber of a corn pipe has been replaced, is it still the same corn pipe?"

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Good guy."

He exclaimed, "Wow!"

This pipe has been upgraded to perfect quality.

Si Xue had initially said that the pipe material was no good and could only be improved to a fine quality, but the Writers Association president changed the entire material.

Although the amount of flames that can be absorbed has increased from a huge amount to a large amount, it now has the prefix of "high quality," so absorbing seven or eight more high-quality flames shouldn't be a problem.

Furthermore, it adds a unique flavor to tobacco, which, while having little practical value, greatly enhances its collectible value.

"With agents from three landmarks—the Bloody Restaurant, the Cemetery, and the Writers' Association—serving you alone, how could you be considered unlucky?"

Liu Zheng sighed as he looked at his pipe.

If he had brought this out at the auction, he could have easily traded it for at least two items of perfect quality.

"Is everything alright now?"

Thirteen asked, her heart pounding with fear.

"It's alright now, don't worry."

He nodded.

"You brat, don't bring such dangerous things in next time. If your broken pipe had exploded just now, the Hundred Ghosts Hall would probably only have one basement level left."

Thirteen said with a look of lingering fear.

"That's perfect, we can renovate it now."

Liu Zheng said with a grin.

"Get lost! It's not like you paid for it. What did you use to put out the fire?"

Thirteen cursed, then asked curiously.

"That was a lighter that the president of the Writers Association gave me."

What is the Writers' Association?

Thirteen Orphans is, after all, from outside the city. Of course, people from places like the Bloody Restaurant, which has a notorious reputation, know about it, but they wouldn't know about the Writers' Association, which is a relatively niche organization.

"It's like a writers' union, with a status similar to that of the Bloody Restaurant."

He explained.

"Tsk, where did you get to know so many important people?"

Thirteen Orphans looked at him as if he were a monster.

Having worked in the service industry for so many years, Shisanyao has seen all kinds of people.

He could tell that Liu Zheng's background was probably not bad, but it was definitely not from a wealthy family.

So this kid knows so many important people, it definitely isn't because of his family background. Could it be...?
Thirteen Orphans' gaze fell upon Liu Zheng's four thick and powerful tentacles, and his smile gradually turned grotesque.

"Although I don't know what you're thinking, Minister, it's definitely not what you think."

Liu Zheng looked at him with disdain.

"You don't know what I'm thinking, how do you know it's not the Yoko I'm thinking of?"

Thirteen Orphans said confidently.

"Hehe. Yoko, could you call Uncle Hachijo for me?"

Liu Zheng was too lazy to argue with him.

"it is good."

Yoko picked up the landline on the wall and called the boiler room.

"Hey?"

Eight aged voices rang out.

"It's me, Uncle Hachijo."

Liu Zheng took the microphone and spoke.

"Oh, it's you, kid. Hey! Cough cough, what do you want?"

Eight coughed twice and said.

"Uncle Hachijo, I reasonably suspect that you did this on purpose."

"Young people are just overly self-conscious. I'm an old man, what's wrong with spitting or clearing my throat?"

Hachijo said dismissively.

"Then why didn't you vomit before?"

He questioned.

"I wasn't familiar with you back then, so I couldn't bring myself to say it."

"Then you might as well continue to be unfamiliar with me."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay, then give me back the incense for inviting the gods first."

Eight roads for horses.

"Haha, that was just a joke. Let's get down to business. I've already investigated the matter; there were three people who bullied her."

He immediately changed the subject.

"The first two have already been dealt with, and I'm working on the last one. But I've already arranged for someone to protect him, so you don't need to worry."

"Ugh."

Hachijo didn't say anything after hearing this, but just sighed.

"Please feel free to offer any suggestions you may have, and I will humbly accept them as they come."

"It's nothing. I was just wondering if it was the right thing to let my future study in the city."

Eight shook their heads.

There are schools outside the city, of course, but they cannot participate in the unified entrance examination.

However, this can be resolved by registering one's enrollment in a school in the city. The city hall has explicitly prohibited it, but has never strictly investigated it.

Every year, many students from outside the city take the college entrance examination in this way and are admitted to universities.

However, the teachers and environment in the city schools are definitely better, and Hachijo also hopes that Fengmo will become a city dweller in the future, so he still spent a lot of money to send her to the school she is in now.

"There's no going back in Metropolis, and even if there were, we couldn't afford it. Anyway, the problem is temporarily solved. Our children and grandchildren will have their own lives to live, and you can't protect them forever."

"Also, I know a professor at the First Municipal University. If I can get into the First Municipal University in the future, I can't say for sure what else, but I should at least not be bullied during my university years."

Liu Zheng comforted him.

"Thank you."

"If you really want to thank me, please give me another stick of incense to invite the gods. Don't be shy, it's all I deserve."

he said seriously.

"piss off."

Hachijo said very seriously.
