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

Chapter 660 The City Hall is in complete chaos
"what?!"

The masked man glanced down instinctively, a look of shock in his eyes.

Only then did he belatedly realize the excruciating pain of being cut in half at the waist.

"Blood Magic: Blood Net!"

As expected of the leader of the group, the Iron Mask immediately launched a desperate attack after being shocked.

The blood flowing from his upper and lower body was all mobilized by magic, turning into a fine blood net that enveloped Liu Zheng.

Those blood-woven threads, enhanced by magic, are harder than steel wire and have an extremely strong corrosive effect on flesh and blood.

Once covered, even an elephant will instantly turn into a pile of bloody mahjong tiles.

Liu Zheng's response was simple: he turned the butcher's knife horizontally into a windmill.

The bloodline, harder than steel wire, is like a hair in the face of true damage, easily shredded and turned into dripping blood.

Even if some fish slipped through the net and splashed onto Liu Zheng, it would only corrode his skin, leaving pits of varying sizes.

What might be considered a minor injury to others is not even considered scraping for him; it's more like skin care.

"You're really lucky, almost as lucky as me."

Liu Zheng looked at the scabbed wounds on the masked man's body and said.

It's one thing for the upper body to be scabbed over, but even the lower body that was cut off is scabbed over; it's estimated that if they were pieced together, they could be reattached.

“You cannot kill me. If you kill me, you will be making an enemy of the entire Nosferatu clan.”

Sensing impending death, the Man in the Iron Mask cried out in panic.

To prove his point, he even removed the iron mask from his face.

Beneath the iron mask lies an extremely ugly face, with features of several reptiles appearing simultaneously and overlapping each other, an effect that even AI image creation cannot replicate.

His protruding fangs revealed his identity: a vampire.

The Nosferatu clan is one of the thirteen clans of vampires. A terrible curse runs through their bloodline, causing a new member to become increasingly ugly after receiving the Embrace.

Furthermore, they will lose interest in normal, high-quality blood such as elf blood, virgin blood, and angel blood, and instead prefer to drink the blood of animals such as rats, crocodiles, and lizards, and their appearance will increasingly resemble these animals.

In the metropolis, these animals mainly live in the sewers, except outside the city.

Therefore, the Nosferatu clan is the race that loves sewers the most, besides the Flymen.

Because of the strength of the Nosferatu clan, they had a much higher chance of surviving the sewers than the Flymen, and thus they spread the stench of the sewers to each other.

This led to the Nosferatu clan being even more shunned than in their homeland. They not only had to wear masks but also carry items to eliminate odors, otherwise they would be universally reviled.

Similarly, they were more united than in their homeland, and killing one would attract a whole horde—this was perfectly normal for the Nosferatu clan.

"Oh."

Liu Zheng chopped off his head with a single stroke, then kicked it away, where it landed right next to the werewolf's head.

"Awesome, a world-class goal!"

In football, a "world-class goal" refers to a player scoring a spectacular, unexpected goal using a difficult shot.

Liu Zheng didn't expect to achieve such an effect; he could only say that having high attributes meant he could do whatever he wanted.

"When dealing with matters at the city hall, lay down your weapons and surrender; those who resist arrest will be killed without mercy."

He shouted loudly.

The two men, who were already prepared to fight to the death, looked at each other after hearing this and didn't know what to do.

"The money belongs to the boss, but your lives belong to you. Are you planning to go against the city hall for someone else's business?"

Upon seeing this, Liu Zheng shouted again.

"Aren't you wearing the uniform from the Bloody Restaurant? How did you end up wearing the City Hall uniform?"

One of the orcs questioned.

"See this?"

He pointed to the family member brooch on his chest.

"Helping your family with some chores is perfectly reasonable, isn't it?"

"We are also a property under the city hall."

The orc believed him only halfway and quickly replied.

"I know, but what business does the business under the Public Security Bureau have with our Market Supervision Department?"

Liu Zheng said bluntly.

"I advise you to cooperate obediently. Considering you're practically on our side, you'll suffer less. Once the Market Supervision Department and the Public Security Department reach an agreement, they'll release you."

He spoke in a tone that suggested he was concerned for them.

"Then wait while I call my superiors to ask for instructions."

The orc rolled his eyes and reached into his pocket.

"puff!"

The butcher's knife flew over in a whirl, severing its hand at the wrist, and blood gushed out like a tap.

It's clear that this orc has very high blood pressure.

"what!"

The orc clutched his severed hand and screamed in agony.

"I told you to cooperate, but you wouldn't listen. I'm going to punish you. I'm going to take you to the sewers and torture you for three days and three nights with all the skills I've learned in my life."

Liu Zheng said in a gentle tone.

"you."

He then raised his tentacle and pointed at the remaining human fellow.

"I surrender, I surrender."

The human was so frightened that he immediately dropped the machete in his hand and even squatted down with his hands covering his head.

"You're quite skilled at this. Have you been caught before?"

Liu Zheng said in surprise.

"I've only been out here for about six months."

"That's what the human guy said shyly."

"No wonder they were so sensible. Where are the others in the trading company?"

"This"

The human hesitated, not daring to speak.

"It seems you still won't cooperate."

He said regretfully, then pulled out his weapon, a weapon designed to fight big with small forces.

The two were about the same size, and the smaller one couldn't unleash the full power of the gun. However, Liu Zheng hadn't really intended to use it; he was just trying to scare the other party.

"No, no, don't shoot. Everyone else has gone out to buy supplies; it's just the few of us left in the store."

Sure enough, the human guy immediately confessed.

"very good."

Liu Zheng nodded in satisfaction, then took out the red whistle.

"Beep beep~"

He blew his whistle, and the sound echoed through the trading house.

Soon, Silver Wolf led several law enforcement officers from the Market Supervision Bureau to charge in.

"We are from the Food Safety Management Department. We received a report from the public that you are selling illegal and non-compliant food products. We are now conducting a search of your premises. Please cooperate."

Silver Wolf flashed his ID and then spoke to his two men.

"Captain, the boss is on the second floor. That goblin with its back facing up is him."

Liu Zheng said considerately.

"Okay. Sixth Brother, go and bring the person down."

"Silver Wolf said."

"okay."

"Sixth Brother, I'll go with you."

Liu Zheng and Lie Chang went up to the second floor together and dragged the goblin down like a dead dog.

"Boss, I found this on it."

Hyena took out the insulated box that Liu Zheng had secretly given it.

"What is this?"

Silver Wolf held up the insulated box and asked the two men.

"Report, we don't know."

The two men said, looking confused.

"Wake it up."

"Silver Wolf said."

"no problem."

Liechang had Liu Zheng pick up the goblin and then slapped it awake three times.

"what!"

The goblin opened its eyes and screamed like a woman who had been sexually assaulted after seeing the hyena's huge face.

"Shut up."

Hyena slapped it again, swelling half of its face.

"If you call me again, I'll rip your intestines out and stuff them in your mouth."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The goblin was so frightened that it quickly covered its mouth.

"That's more like it. Now, tell me, what is this?"

Hyena nodded in satisfaction, then pointed to the insulated container and asked. The goblin looked at the container and shook its head blankly.

"Still not going to confess, huh?"

Silver Wolf sneered and took out a barcode scanner from his pocket.

This is a portable food detector used by the law enforcement team. It can detect the hazard level of most foods and can even detect them through containers.

Of course, more specific details about the types of food and their hazards would require taking them back for testing with specialized equipment.

It pointed the gun at the insulated box and pressed it; the green light emitted from the gun immediately turned into a blinding red light.

"Extremely dangerous!"

"Sixth Brother, take your men and search this place. Make sure you don't miss any suspicious people or items."

Silver Wolf's expression changed drastically, and he immediately gave the order.

"Yes. Brothers, follow me."

Liechang responded and led his men to search high and low.

Their actions appeared chaotic, but were actually highly efficient. They quickly searched the entire trading company, leaving no secret rooms or hidden compartments untouched.

Half an hour later, the seized supplies and personnel were loaded onto pickup trucks.

"for you."

Silver Wolf returned the insulated box to Liu Zheng.

"Hey, aren't we going to use this as evidence?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"You're lucky; this shop really does have a lot of illegal food products."

"That was truly a case of blind cat catching a dead mouse."

he laughed.

"Not really. It was originally a den for selling stolen goods and evidence, so it's normal for it to have illegal food. Now there are going to be some lawsuits."

Silver Wolf said with a hint of schadenfreude.

The amount of illegal food seized this time was quite large, and since it wasn't even from ordinary food distributors, theoretically it was enough to make the news.

Of course, since it involves the Criminal Investigation Bureau, the Food Management Division wouldn't dare to embarrass itself like that.

But it's impossible for them to simply release the person and return the belongings; the Criminal Investigation Department is definitely going to have to spend some money this time.

"Go ahead and fight, the bigger the better. It would be great if we could get the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Sanitation, the Ministry of Finance, and so on involved."

At that point, not only the Criminal Investigation Bureau, but the entire Public Security Department will be terrified.

"It's not impossible."

"Silver Wolf said."

"How to say?"

Liu Zheng's eyes lit up.
"Among the seized items were many animals listed in the Metropolitan Species List, both alive and dead, including a specimen of an astral rhinoceros."

What is the rarity level of the Astral Dragon Rhinoceros?

he asked.

"In non-emergency avoidance situations, causing minor injuries or more serious harm to the Astral Dragon Rhinoceros will result in immediate death. In emergency avoidance situations, a fine of one million and life imprisonment will be imposed."

Silver Wolf replied.

"Good guy."

This punishment is more severe than that for a Class I protected animal in reality.

Although the Biological Administration Bureau is of a lower rank than the Public Security Bureau, the Criminal Investigation Bureau is just an internal agency, and if things get serious, it can still give them a run for their money.

"Brother-in-law, do you know anyone at the Bureau of Biological Affairs?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"No."

Silver Wolf shook his head.

"Then how do you know so much?"

"Search online."

Silver Wolf showed the search page on the phone.

".All right."

The metropolis's technology was sometimes outdated and sometimes advanced, leaving him feeling lost and confused.

"I'm going to make a phone call."

Liu Zheng said something and dialed 4399.

"Is the matter finished?"

4399 asked.

"It's done. I got my brother-in-law Silver Wolf's help, and all the witnesses and evidence have been loaded onto the truck."

He casually kicked the goblin next to him.

"Okay, keep some of the physical evidence and witness testimony. I'll come and collect them later."

4399 nodded.

Silver Wolf is now practically one of the "anti-pet faction," so it wouldn't be a bad idea to assign it a department to handle things.

"Okay. Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Liu Zheng told 4399 about the large number of protected animals that had been seized.

"Didn't you ask the Biological Management Bureau to handle the Arakos sandworm last time? I'm thinking of giving him another credit this time to solidify my position."

He said with a grin.

"Um"

4399 hesitated.

The power struggle between the "anti-favor faction," the General Office, the Bloody Restaurant, and the Criminal Investigation Department was already chaotic enough, but now the Market Supervision Department and the Biological Management Bureau have been added. This is no longer a five-player game of mahjong; it's become a six-player game of checkers.

"It's already chaotic enough, so a little more chaos won't hurt. Besides, the more chaotic it is, the more trouble the Criminal Investigation Bureau will have, right?"

Liu Zheng advised.

"Alright. Leave all the evidence here, I'll be right there."

After a moment's hesitation, 4399 agreed.

"okay."

After hanging up the phone, he hitched a ride with the market supervision department back to the vicinity of the restaurant.

Silver Wolf unloaded the evidence and the merchant's belongings he wanted, and then led his team back.

After a while, the familiar black minivan pulled up in front of Liu Zheng.

"Yo~"

8848 rolled down the car window and greeted him.

Good afternoon, Brother 8848.

Liu Zheng also replied warmly.

"Thanks to you, it would be difficult for things not to go well."

8848 laughed.

Although it was always 4399 who handed over the business to Liu Zheng, 8848 also did a lot of work and was always included when it came to sharing the benefits.

Putting everything else aside, that two million in procurement budget alone would be enough for him to earn for many years.

The Border Services Agency offers good promotion opportunities and benefits, but the foreign exchange is much less than in other departments.

"Not at all, I am where I am today all thanks to the care of my two older brothers."

Liu Zheng said sincerely.

"Not bad, this rising star is not arrogant or impatient, he has a bright future. It was worth all the effort I put in to help you."

While praising him, 8848 also took the opportunity to mention his own contribution.

"Thank you for your hard work. When you two brothers have some free time later, I'll treat you to a fun-filled trip to the bathhouse area."

Liu Zheng said.

"Alright, I'll give you a good beating when the time comes."

8848 laughed.

"Enough with the small talk, let's get down to business."

4399 said coldly.

“Der~ling.”

8848 drew out a reply and then got off the bus.

The two first threw the goblin into the back seat, and then stuffed all the evidence into the trunk.

"Alright, let's go."

8488 got into the driver's seat.

"Since you're in such a hurry, let's chat for another five yuan."

Liu Zheng laughed.

"Give me a break. Do you think the Criminal Investigation Bureau is made of clay? If you lay a hand on them, they'll definitely lay a hand on us too, and we'll have to arrange for people to defend us."

8848 said.

"Need my help? I'm a pro at defense."

He volunteered.

"Forget it. If you weren't here, we'd just have a brawl at most. But if you are, I'm afraid they might get carried away and bring out armored vehicles."

8488 rolled its eyes, started the car, and drove away.
