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

Chapter 662 A family must be in good order

"The doctor from the Bai family said that the impurities from those herbs had accumulated in my skin, and it would be fine after they were metabolized."

Niu Daji explained.

"Tsk, so can you also photosynthesize?"

"I don't think so. The Bai family's doctor didn't say anything either."

Niu Daji scratched his head and said.

"Let's try leaving you out in the sun to starve for a few days, what about the doctor?"

After making a joke, Liu Zheng asked.

"The doctor is treating Abao inside. The old fisherman gave him a lot of fish droppings, and he used them to make a lot of medicinal droppings, which are said to be very effective."

Niu Daji replied.

"Those are the cream of the crop, how could they not be effective?"

He squinted and said.

Fish from the sewers are the essence of the sewers, and fish excrement from the sewers is also the essence of fish from the sewers.

Just look at the experiences of Detective Luo Ping's grandfather. When he had nowhere to go, he fled into the sewers, ate a whole pound of food, and then returned like the Dragon King to wipe out his enemies.

If you disregard the costs, the sewers are practically like the cliffside caves in martial arts novels.

"coming."

Just then, the Nile doctor came out from inside.

"I'm sorry, doctors, I've caused you all this trouble."

Liu Zheng said apologetically.

If it weren't for him, the Nile doctor wouldn't have had to take his family to hide in the sewers.

Moreover, although the two sides have temporarily reached a settlement, being targeted by the Criminal Investigation Bureau is still a problem.

It was fine when Liu Zheng was around, but it's uncertain whether the "Refusal Faction" will still stand up for Doctor Nile and the others after he leaves the instance.

“The metropolis is fraught with risks. Before you, our La clan didn’t cause any trouble, nor did we associate with those who liked to show off, yet we were still eaten to the point of near extinction.”

The Nile doctor, however, was quite open-minded.

"Although I've been dragged around by you all this time and my old bones are about to fall apart, I have to say, I do feel much better."

A smile appeared on his charred face.

Nile was a scholar and a doctor, but he was also a priest and a warrior.

Being able to fight everywhere and incidentally spread the divine power of Ra—why not do such a good thing?

"That's what you say. Don't worry, I will do my best to handle this matter properly and leave no hidden dangers."

Liu Zheng assured.

At worst, he could give the Supreme Speaker's manuscript to the Fool or the Writers' Association President before he left; those two sheltered clinics should be fine.

"It's good that you have the intention."

The Nile doctor nodded.

"Is Abao ready?"

Liu Zheng asked again.

"It'll be soon. With the fish droppings and medicine from the water, as well as the thousand-year-old purple-gold fungus left by the Bai family, it should only need to rest for one more night."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"A thousand-year-old purple-gold mushroom? Sounds expensive."

"I don't know much about this, but judging from the way the Bai family is agonizing over it, it must be something good."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Do they know that I had a conflict with the Criminal Investigation Department?"

he asked.

“I know, I told them all when I led the evacuation. Oh, that Mother Stone Spirit also told you to escape to the Hundred Thousand Mountains when you have nowhere else to go, that it can keep you safe.”

"That's what the Nile doctor replied."

"That's right, they're all very loyal."

Liu Zheng was fairly satisfied with Shi Tiantian and the Bai family's performance, and his hard work had not been in vain.

"By the way, where's Yaksha?"

He remembered and asked.

"She didn't say anything, but she left this for you."

The Nile doctor took out a glass bottle containing a constantly shifting shadow.

Name: Uncertain Shadow (One-time Use)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: After use, the player will randomly appear in a shaded area within a one-kilometer radius."

"Note: I don't even know where I'm going, how are you going to catch up with me, you idiot!"

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

"At least she still has some conscience."

Liu Zheng put the glass bottle away with some satisfaction.

"Daikichi, go back to the bathhouse street and find the waiter from the Hundred Ghosts Parade to get my things."

He gave Niu Daji the waiter's phone number and then gave him a wad of cash.

"okay."

"Just call for a sedan chair, don't waste time, there's still a lot for you to do when you get back."

Liu Zheng gave instructions.

"Yes, boss!"

Niu Daji responded loudly.

It is now full of energy and hopes that Liu Zheng will give it as many things as possible.

Niu Daji accepted the order and left, while Liu Zheng drove to the Spider Cave.

"Here are the bandages you wanted."

Once inside the Spider Cave, the Box Spider pushed out a cylindrical object resembling a badminton shuttlecock tube from the cardboard box.

Liu Zheng unscrewed the cap and pulled out a piece of cloth.

"Why is it pink?"

He frowned.

“You didn’t say what color you wanted. Besides, only the pink one is available now. If you want another color, it has to be custom-made, and the production time will be at least a month. If you can wait, I’ll return it and have it made separately.”

"The Box Spider said."

"No need to return it, I'll take this one. Have another one made in white. If I'm busy in a month, have someone come and pick it up. The code for picking it up is the pink bandage."

Liu Zheng gave it another million.

"Row."

The box spider agreed.

"gone."

He left the Spider Cave and returned to the clinic.

"Here you go, doctor, I've brought you some new bandages."

He handed the cylinder to the Nile doctor.

"Why is it pink?"

The Nile doctor looked shocked.

"This is the only color available. I've already ordered a white one, which will be delivered in a month. You'll have to make do with this for now."

Liu Zheng said.

"No, no, in our area, even prostitutes wouldn't wear clothes of this color."

The Nile doctor shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

"It's just a stopgap measure. If you don't like it, you can wear another black cloak over it. Who will know what you're wearing underneath?"

He offered his advice.

"You little rascal, you know exactly what to do."

The Nile doctor squinted.

"Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped. I will definitely not tell a third person or any non-human."

Liu Zheng assured.

"."

The Nile doctor looked at the pink bandage with a conflicted expression.

"Things have been turbulent lately. If your strength is weakened, not only will you be uneasy, but we will also be worried."

He tried to persuade him again.

"Fine, I'll wear it. But what if you dare tell anyone about this?"

The Nile doctor's tone carried a hint of murderous intent.

"From now on, I'll deliver food naked every day."

Liu Zheng swore.

"Hmph, I don't think you care at all, you might even be enjoying it."

The Nile doctor rolled his eyes at him, but still took the bandage inside and changed it.

When he came out, he was already wearing a white robe, but his face was still charred black, making him look like some kind of voodoo shaman.

"What are you looking at? If you look again, you'll stay and be tested on the medicine in your feces."

"Dr. Nile said irritably."

"Ahem, I didn't see anything. By the way, doctor, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Liu Zheng told him about Luo Ping and Morrison Elementary School.

Do you think this person is reliable?

"The Nile doctor asked."

“I think it’s alright. And you don’t have to move there right away. You can set up a clinic there first, and go there to see patients when you have time, get familiar with the people and environment, and build up your clientele.”

Liu Zheng said.

"Um"

The Nile doctor pondered for a moment after hearing this.

"As the saying goes, you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. You've added another member to your clan, haven't you? Once he's awake, you can teach him medicine and have him practice medicine over there. That way, if something happens, you'll have a way out."

"Besides, isn't my boss planning to resign? We can have it move its home there too, so they can look after each other."

He thought for a moment and then said.

"Alright, let's do it this way for now." Dr. Nile was finally persuaded.

"Speaking of which, why hasn't your new clansman woken up yet?"

Liu Zheng asked.

“I don’t know either. We checked his body and there was nothing wrong with him. His soul wasn’t damaged either, but he’s just in a daze. He’s even worse than Sesha.”

The Nile doctor is also having a headache.

"I'm going to the cemetery to deliver goods, how about I bring him along and have the cemetery caretaker take a look at him?"

he suggested.

"Won't the gravedigger detain him?"

The Nile doctor was somewhat worried.

"Probably not. Don't worry, I promise I'll bring him back safe and sound."

"Alright. Sesha, bring your brother out."

The Nile doctor called out towards the inner room.

"Good dad."

Sesha responded from inside.

"Oh, Sesha can call me dad now."

Liu Zheng asked in surprise.

"I never expected to learn it in the sewers."

The Nile doctor smiled happily.

"What was her first sentence?"

he asked curiously.

She said, "Dad, it smells so bad here, I don't want to stay here."

"That's what the Nile doctor replied."

"Hmm, that makes sense."

It's true that when people are pushed to their limits, they can learn anything.

After waiting for a few minutes, Sesha came out leading another mummy.

This mummy was very tall, probably about 1.9 meters, but very thin, like a telephone pole.

He held hands with Cesa like a father holding his daughter's hand, but he looked timid, especially after seeing Liu Zheng, a stranger, he kept hiding behind Cesa like a child.

"Oh, Nephilim, Nephilim, Nephilim."

Sesha patted the back of his hand to comfort him.

"Sesa is really acting like an older sister."

Liu Zheng laughed.

"Because Sesha is the older sister."

Sesha puffed out her chest and said proudly.

"Yes, Sesha is amazing!"

He raised his large tentacles.

"Hee hee~"

Sesha was both proud and a little shy.

"Alright, Nephilim, come here to me."

The Nile doctor beckoned to Nephili.

Neferi glanced at Liu Zheng secretly, then shook his head vigorously.

"Sigh. Let's go to sleep then."

The Nile doctor sighed, then pointed into the air.

A rune lit up on the bandage on Nephilim's forehead, and then he fell asleep.

Sesha had anticipated this and hugged him tightly.

“Sesa, leave your brother to me, I’ll take him to see a doctor.”

Liu Zheng said.

"Is there a doctor more skilled than Dad?"

Sesha tilted her head and said.

"Of course not, your father is the most skilled doctor in the entire Metropolis and even the entire multiverse."

He said it without hesitation.

"Yes, I think so too."

Sesha nodded her little head in agreement.

"Alright, stop bragging to me."

The Nile doctor was moved but also somewhat embarrassed.

“Sesa, hand your brother over to him. If the gravedigger can’t heal your brother, then no one in Metropolis can save him.”

He said to Sesha.

"Dad, can I go with my little brother? He'll be scared if I don't go."

Sesha pleaded.

"This"

The Nile doctor wanted to refuse, but couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Why don't you all go together as a family? It'll be a family trip."

Liu Zheng said upon seeing this.

"OK then."

The Nile doctor hesitated for a moment but then agreed.

"Yay~ Daddy is the best."

Sesa stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

The Nile doctor smiled indulgently.

"Mr. Liu Zheng is also very nice~"

Sesha kissed Liu Zheng again.

"!"

The Nile doctor's smile vanished instantly.

After saying goodbye to the Sphinx, the Nile doctor and his family of three got into Liu Zheng's hearse.

Upon arriving at the cemetery entrance, Liu Zheng left the three mummies in the car while he walked through the archway first.

Accompanied by the clatter of hooves, the gravedigger soon arrived before him.

“Your Excellency the Gravekeeper, I have gathered the flames you requested.”

He took out a pipe from the system space and offered it with both hands.

"I remember it wasn't like this before."

The gravedigger took the pipe and said.

"Ahem, a lot of unexpected things happened in the middle."

Liu Zheng said somewhat awkwardly.

The gravedigger glanced at him, turned his pipe over, and took a puff.

With the first strike, golden rays of sunlight floated out, round like a miniature sun.

"The flames of the sun god, not bad."

The tomb keeper opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the Yang Yan.

The second time, a drop of golden flame fell, resembling both gold and blood.

"You're even trying to fleece your own boss, you've got some nerve."

The tomb keeper said with a strange expression.

"This is a reward; how can a reward be considered fleecing?"

Liu Zheng defended himself.

"hehe."

The tomb keeper smiled noncommittally.

On the third strike, five-colored flames emerged, and the faint sound of a phoenix's cry could be heard from within.

"Phoenix Fire, not bad."

The gravedigger swallowed it again.

Then he choked three times in a row, and the wrath of the kitchen knife, the hellfire of Asura, and the fire of the kitchen stove all floated out, and were then sucked into by him in a whirlwind.

The seventh time, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire first appeared as a cluster of flames, and then instantly blossomed into a bewitching red lotus.

A chill ran through Liu Zheng, making him tremble uncontrollably and instinctively back away.

"Why are you panicking?"

The tomb keeper remained calm and continued to swallow the food without hesitation.

"The boss is awesome!"

He said admiringly.

The raging fire of the Red Lotus, which everyone fears like a venomous snake, is nothing more than a snack to the tomb keeper.

The gravedigger did not speak, but orange flames erupted from his eyes, turning him back into a fiery skeleton.

"call out!"

He took a deep breath, his lava-like eyeballs burning fiercely, and the flames above his head rose a fraction higher.

After the gravedigger took seven deep breaths, the flames above his head had become as fierce as a roaring stove.

The gravedigger closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment, a contented smile on his face.

After a long while, the flames above his head gradually subsided, and the gravedigger transformed back into the old cowboy.

"You did very well."

The tomb keeper praised.

All seven flames were of very high quality, especially the Sun God Fire and the Phoenix Fire, which burned him with particular comfort.

"As long as you're satisfied."

Liu Zheng said humbly.

"You deserve extra pay. Tell me, what do you want?"

"The tomb keeper asked."
