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

Chapter 661 This time the hearse really drifted.

"What are you going to do next?"

Liu Zheng fell into thought.

He can't flaunt his wealth now, so it seems there's really nothing he can do.

Once the Criminal Investigation Bureau finds out that "Xingzhen" Trading Company has been shut down, they'll probably be searching for him like crazy.

If the two collide, it will surely be a clash of titans, a passionate woman meeting a scoundrel, and they will definitely end up fighting a bloodbath.

Liu Zheng didn't intend to completely offend the Criminal Investigation Bureau; he could simply walk away, but Dr. Nile and his colleagues would have a hard time.

And then there's Niu Ma, who's been targeted by the Criminal Investigation Bureau. Forget about switching jobs to smuggle; even delivering food is difficult for him now.

"Never mind, let's go back to the lounge first."

Liu Zheng shook his head, turned around, and walked into the delivery lane.

Back in the lounge, he first called the white-feathered chicken and asked it to come and get the insulated box.

Keeping something of unknown purpose is pointless; it's better to return it to the white-feathered chicken to save a favor.

"You actually didn't open it."

The white-feathered chicken took the insulated box and said...

"Oh, didn't you say not to open it, and that you would bear the consequences?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"If it's salmon, it will definitely open."

"I would do the same if I had nine lives."

he laughed.

"That's a rumor. Cats don't have nine lives. Besides, your unlimited life extension is much more useful than nine lives."

The white-feathered rooster looked at his skin, which was as delicate as a newborn's, and said.

"You're not planning to use me to make soup again, are you?"

Liu Zheng said warily.

"If you want, I can accept it."

The white-feathered chicken said.

"I don't want to. But if the kitchen is short-handed, I can help out. After all, the Criminal Investigation Bureau is keeping a close eye on me, so I can't be out running around."

He said.

"I think you just want to play with salmon, don't you?"

The white-feathered rooster saw through his thoughts.

"Hehe, I also want to mooch some food."

Liu Zheng pressed his advantage.

"The kitchen is a restricted area; you can't just go there whenever you want. Want to freeload a meal? Simple, just switch to the kitchen."

The white-feathered chicken glanced at him sideways and said.

"Head Chef, please stop testing me. I am wholeheartedly devoted to the takeout department."

he said seriously.

"Are the cattle and horses here?"

"No."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Then who are you putting on this for?"

The white-feathered chicken asked.

"Ah, I thought it had returned. You deliberately set a trap for me."

He scratched his head.

"Neuropathy."

The white-feathered pheasant gave him a disdainful look, then turned and left.

"How can you insult someone like that? And you're a leader, you have absolutely no manners."

After Liu Zheng waited until it was far away, he said with disdain.

While I was idly reading the newspaper in the lounge, a call came in from an unfamiliar number.

He stared at it for several seconds before he remembered that it was the number of the waiter from the Hundred Ghosts Parade.

"My lord, the breathing technique has been found."

The waiter said excitedly.

"Great. Okay, I'll leave it with you for now and come back for it when I have time."

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and then said.

For a moment, he did consider taking a sedan chair to the Hundred Ghosts Parade, since the bathhouse street was more interesting than the lounge.

But Liu Zheng eventually gave up on this plan, since the Criminal Investigation Bureau was very likely staking out him nearby.

As for having a waiter bring it over, given his personality, he wouldn't do that.

"Damn the Criminal Investigation Department."

Liu Zheng couldn't help but curse.

He's usually as busy as a spinning top in Inception, so of course he'd like to take a break, but taking a break voluntarily and being forced to rest are two different things.

Moreover, this day off was something he had worked hard to earn, and he had originally planned to make good use of it to clear out as much work as possible.

Now, thanks to the interruption by the Criminal Investigation Bureau, many things will have to be postponed again.

The saying "the people can't fight against the officials" is a profound truth, both in reality and in metropolises.

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Zheng had a bloody restaurant on par with the official authorities standing behind him, the Criminal Investigation Bureau would have already launched a three-pronged manhunt against him by land, sea, and air.

Unfortunately, Liu Zheng didn't have the gravedigger's phone number, otherwise he could have had the gravedigger send a skinny horse to pick him up and take him to the cemetery.

Although there's not much to do at the cemetery, it's still more spacious than the lounge.

Oh, the gravedigger might see him idle and let him go grave robbing, then it's fine.

Feeling restless with boredom, Liu Zheng started practicing with an arm strength trainer and put his previous idea of cutting off tentacles to solve his muscle soreness into practice.

As it turns out, this idea is indeed effective.

When he had reached 2500, the 4399 hotline finally called.

"The Criminal Investigation Bureau has already released him."

"Is the matter resolved?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's been resolved for now. The executive vice ministers of several departments exchanged opinions and put the matter on hold."

4399 said.

"Won't the Criminal Investigation Bureau retaliate afterward?"

He was a little worried.

"It shouldn't happen in the short term. After all, although they suffered losses, we also paid a price."

4399 replied.

"what happened?"

"We need to give them two of the internal exam slots next year."

4399 said.

Every year, the city hall holds an internal exam for temporary workers; those who pass can become permanent employees.

The pass rate is very high, but the number of openings is extremely limited. Every year, the various factions within the city hall engage in fierce competition for these openings.

"That would be too easy on them."

Liu Zheng said indignantly.

"The organization has been riding too high lately, so suffering a little loss isn't entirely a bad thing. The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind, and the same applies to you."

4399 said.

"Whether you believe it or not, I've always wanted to keep a low profile."

He said innocently.

Everyone says to be low-key in life but high-profile in work, but the problems are that the commissions he takes on are getting more and more outrageous, so he can't be low-key even if he wants to.

"Originally, the higher-ups were only willing to give up one spot, but the Criminal Investigation Bureau disagreed. It was Deputy Director Xuan Yuan who gave up one of his spots."

4399 added.

"Who is Director Xuanyuan?"

"The deputy director of the Education and Training Department of the Ministry of Personnel is also a key member of our 'anti-favor' faction."

4399 introduced.

"At the same time, he is also a human supremacist."

He paused for a moment, then continued.

What does "human supremacist" mean?

"Human supremacists believe that only humans are the superior race. Humans should not only be the majority in the metropolis in terms of numbers, but also in terms of power and strength. For example, only humans should be first-class citizens from birth."

4399 said.

"Wow, that's a pretty wild idea."

Liu Zheng clicked his tongue in amazement.

In a metropolis, a place where all races come to pay homage and gods and men live together, this is even more utopian than utopian socialism.

"Yes, so this view is highly controversial even within the 'anti-favor' faction. Many people believe that if this view is promoted, it will easily make the 'anti-favor' faction a target of public criticism, which is not conducive to the development of the organization."

4399 said.

"Isn't that a bit too much? Which race doesn't want to be the dominant race in the metropolis? As long as they don't go around making a fuss about it."

Those people are really cowards; they can't even have a casual chat behind closed doors.

"The main point is that human supremacists believe that humans refer to pure-blooded humans."

4399 said.

"Oh~"

Not surprising then.

After all, in the context of the metropolis, pure-blooded humans don't have any advantage, and there probably aren't many pure-blooded humans among the "rejection faction."

Putting everything else aside, even Liu Zheng himself isn't a pure-blooded human. "I'm not a pure-blooded human either, so why is this Deputy Director Xuanyuan helping me?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"Deputy Director Xuanyuan said that people always think of us when they get a little benefit, but when something happens, we can't even afford to give up an internal exam spot. And yet we still want to defeat the 'Hybrid Faction' and become the largest faction of humanity? We might as well disband it as soon as possible."

4399 mimicked the tone of Deputy Director Xuanyuan.

"Well said. This Deputy Director Xuanyuan is clearly destined for great things. He'll become a full director sooner or later."

he praised.

"Yes, Deputy Director Xuanyuan has always had a very good reputation. If you have the chance to meet him, you can get to know him better."

4399 said.

"I'm afraid people won't want to be close to me."

Liu Zheng smiled wryly.

With his appearance, people would believe him if he said he was a humanoid.

"We'll see when the time comes. Anyway, you don't have a chance to meet him for the time being."

4399 said.

"Too."

"We've already allocated the purchase quotas. I'll send you the list in a bit. As long as it roughly matches, we'll handle the rest ourselves."

4399 added.

"okay."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zheng quickly received a text message.

He clicked on it and saw that the quantity was indicated according to the gold, silver and bronze labels, and some even indicated the variety.

He roughly calculated that these amounts combined should exceed 50 million, and he would have to cut some off later.

"Finally, I can go out."

Liu Zheng stretched and was about to leave when his driver called.

"Colonel, is the car coming back?"

he asked.

"I'm taking it back, but you still have to pay me one million for repairs."

the driver said.

"No problem, I'll give it to you when we meet. By the way, can I rent that military motorcycle?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Forget about it. Since employees were allowed to rent cars, you're the first one to have your car impounded by the city hall. It's good enough that they haven't blacklisted you."

The driver said bluntly.

"Well, it's not entirely my fault."

He tried to struggle.

"Don't even think about it. Just drive a regular car for the next few days. Oh, but I do have a special car. Do you want it?"

"What car?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"You'll know once you see it, then you can tell me if you want it or not."

The driver kept it a secret.

"Yes, I'll come out right now."

He said decisively.

If it's not easy to drive, just return it to the driver; at worst, you'll have to pay some rental fees.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you outside."

The driver hung up the phone.

As soon as Liu Zheng stepped out of the delivery lane, he saw the special car the driver had mentioned.

With its long and wide body, solemn black paint, elegant and beautiful floral decorations, and the large "奠" (meaning "offering sacrifice") character on the front, this is undoubtedly a top-quality hearse.

"How about that, special enough?"

The driver emerged from the character "奠" and said.

"It is indeed quite unique, but driving this thing on the road is probably not very auspicious, is it?"

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

So you mean you don't want it?

"Tell me first, does this car have any special features?"

He rolled his eyes and said.

"First of all, if the deceased is driving, they can use their own power to enhance the vehicle's defense and speed."

The driver explained.

"I'm not dead."

"Secondly, if a large amount of Netherworld power can be infused into the hearse, it can also strengthen the hearse, but the effect will be much lower."

The driver then explained.

"Oh?"

Now Liu Zheng was starting to get interested.

The power of the underworld is something that cemeteries have plenty of.

Given his relationship with the tomb keeper, getting some fuel shouldn't be a problem.

"Is it auspicious now?"

The driver asked deliberately.

"Auspicious, auspicious, it's incredibly auspicious!"

Liu Zheng praised it repeatedly.

"Even when I was human, I couldn't change my expression as quickly as you. You can rent it, but don't damage it or get it impounded, or you'll only be able to rent a wheelchair from now on."

the driver said.

"Is it also a wheelchair with special functions?"

He asked expectantly.

"No, it's just a regular wheelchair, and it doesn't even have wheels."

The driver said expressionlessly.

"Ah ha ha."

Liu Zheng pretended to look up at the sky.

"Alright, I'm going to get my car fixed. Those Arschloch bastards from the Criminal Investigation Department 1 scraped off all the gold plating. They have absolutely no sense of decorum."

The driver cursed.

"Um"

He continued to look up at the sky, not daring to speak.

No wonder the repair cost was a million; there was another reason behind it.

It's estimated that the Criminal Investigation Bureau didn't initially intend to do this; it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision made to retaliate against him.

After the driver left, Liu Zheng called the Nile River doctor and asked them to come up. Then he drove the hearse to the clinic.

When he arrived at the clinic, the Sphinx was already lying at the door.

"What are you looking at?"

"The Sphinx said impatiently."

"Check if you're hurt."

Liu Zheng replied.

"If I were injured, wouldn't I just go in for treatment? Idiot."

The sphinx rolled its eyes.

"The Criminal Investigation Bureau didn't even use torture on you. I should have known better than to be in such a hurry."

He made a joke.

"Hmph, don't you know I'm also on the Metropolitan Species List? Otherwise, only a fool would save you."

The Sphinx snorted.

Even protected animals with high intelligence like these will be punished severely if they break the law.

However, since the Sphinx is only suspected of helping Liu Zheng escape, it can still enjoy the protection of the Metropolitan Species Protection Act.

Of course, Liu Zheng's reaction was also quick enough.

Once he is formally arrested, the Criminal Investigation Bureau will not be so lenient with the Sphinx.

"Oh~ that Ando is really amazing~"

Liu Zheng drawled out his words.

"Human, are you being sarcastic?"

The sphinx ground its teeth.

"No, you misheard. Stop nagging, come on, have some dried fish."

He grabbed a handful of dried fish and stuffed them into the Sphinx's mouth before walking into the clinic.

"Boss!"

A minotaur pounced.

"Wait, who are you?"

Liu Zheng dodged its embrace.
