Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Well, she couldn't resist.

"Hahaha!!!"

Her laughter sounded a lot like the song of a nightingale.

"Boss, aren't you going to explain this?"

Liu Zheng looked at the cattle and horses.

"It was Napoleon who said it; I'm just relaying it."

The latter looked completely innocent.

"Damn white-feathered chicken. Then please prepare a set for me."

He said to the nightingale.

"Aren't you afraid I'll tamper with it?"

"Someone like you wouldn't stoop to such petty tricks. Besides, you wouldn't agree to me using fishermen, would you?"

"Intelligent. Even among humans, you belong to the intelligent category. Once my board game cafe opens, I will definitely recruit you."

The nightingale's tone was aggressive.

"Then I wish you great success in your business opening."

Liu Zheng gave a perfunctory reply and then hung up the phone.

Waiting for you to open? By the time you open, I would have left this instance long ago.

If you can get me out of the system's clutches, then I'll submit to you.

He called the fisherman again to let him know the time.

"Boss, remember to protect me if there's any emergency later."

Liu Zheng took out the black koi carp and took a deep breath.

"I'll just watch the show."

Niu Ma said happily, and even took out half a bottle of wine from the cabinet.

"I have basically convinced De Lego to cooperate with you."

"That tree, it'll dry up whether it's there or not."

The ox and horse's eyes flickered slightly, but they remained stubborn.

"If I could convince the fishermen to supply you, how much do you think you could earn?"

Liu Zheng continued.

"Don't worry, even if a meteorite falls on you today, I'll push it back for you."

The oxen, horses, and humans stood up on their hind legs, patting their chests and saying...

"Hey, don't just make promises you can't keep."

With a determined heart and a gritted tooth, he opened his mouth and swallowed the black koi.

The fresh fish meat turned into liquid and flowed through his esophagus into his stomach.

Strictly speaking, it tastes pretty good; it has a flavor reminiscent of drinking concentrated fish soup.

But Liu Zheng had no time to savor the moment, because as the system notification sounded, his biological instincts kicked in with a chilling sense of crisis.

It felt like a husky mixed in with a pack of wolves.

You know you'll be torn apart and eaten by wolves in the next moment, but you don't know when that next moment will actually come.

Liu Zheng quickly used a boning knife to pry open the mouthpiece and, just like last time, fixed the split edges.

Then he applied white moth extract powder to his face.

This time, Liu Zheng only applied a very thin layer, but the effect was quite good.

A layer as thin as a cicada's wing made his face even whiter than someone with albinism.

Looking at his face slowly burning in the mirror, he felt more like Ghost Rider than the Joker.

"'Lucky Joker' card is now in effect."

Fortunately, the system notification arrived as expected.

"Whoo~"

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief; the goosebumps he felt were finally lessened a little.

"Is it really that serious? You've made me nervous."

"The cows and horses complained."

When was the worst time you've ever had?

Liu Zheng asked.

"About two years ago, I was delivering food in the old town when I ran into some cultists performing a ritual. The worst part is, they actually succeeded! Damn it!"

Niu Ma recalled.

"The results of it?"

"The result was that he almost died. If the 'Outstanding Employee' award hadn't been useless, he would probably be crawling in some dark corner right now."

"The ox and horse said."

"My current feeling is probably similar to yours when you saw the ceremony succeed."

"Stop talking, or I'll get stressed."

Even the cattle and horses shivered.

Just as the two patients with stress disorder were having an episode, Niu Ma's phone rang.

Its expression changed instantly upon seeing the caller ID.

"Damn it, did you pass on your bad luck to me?"

It mumbled as it answered the phone.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

"Okay, sure. Yes, I'll take him right away."

Niu Ma hung up the phone and looked at Liu Zheng with pity.

"Let's go, the boss invites you."

Chapter 105 Can I lick your feet if I haven't brushed my teeth?

"I suddenly think that delivering food might be a good idea."

Liu Zheng struggled to speak.

Compared to the bloody restaurant's big boss, the cannibalistic security guards, the slashing customers, and the spray trucks that spray people suddenly become friendly and approachable.

"I think so too, but you have no choice."

"Hurry up and go, or the boss will be angry and I won't be able to protect you."

The oxen and horses walked towards the door.

"Gan!"

Liu Zhengsheng followed behind, utterly dejected.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing. If the boss really wanted to get rid of you, would he need to meet you in person? He could just send someone over and take care of you."

The ox and horse comforted him.

"Thank you, but I didn't feel comforted."

Si Xue seeking him out could certainly be a good thing, but given his current luck, a good thing could turn into a bad thing later.

Just as the ox and horse were about to open the door, the ghost hand crawled in through the movable wooden plank.

It seemed to know Liu Zheng's situation and placed the takeout order directly on the hooves of the cattle and horses.

"You're so lucky."

The ox and horse shook their heads, picked up the takeout order, and went out on their own.

"A series of schemes."

Liu Zheng sighed.

Now he doesn't even have bodyguards anymore.

Liu Zheng looked at Ghost Hand. Although this guy might be stronger than Niu Ma, he was too mysterious and his credibility was far less than that of Niu Ma.

Ghost Hand waved to him, signaling him to follow, and then emerged from the movable wooden plank.

Liu Zheng left the lounge helplessly, and sure enough, Niu Ma had already left.

This time, Ghost Hand didn't take him through the delivery lane, but instead led him to the three-way intersection.

If you walk a little further along the road leading to the customer service department, you'll find an elevator nearby.

With a powerful leap, the ghost hand reached for the upward button.

Golden lava splattered from the X-shaped wound, burning a bottomless hole in the ground.

The elevator doors opened quickly, and Ghost Hand and Liu Zheng entered the elevator one after the other.

There are no floor buttons in the elevator; it operates automatically.

The elevator finally stopped after ascending for a good four or five minutes.

The elevator doors opened, revealing a huge cavern outside.

Beneath the dome, covered with calcified deposits, lies a vast ocean of golden-red lava.

Si Xue sat on the platinum throne in the middle of the sea of ​​fire, dozing off with her hand propped up on one side.

She opened her eyes when she heard the elevator doors open.

In an instant, Liu Zheng seemed to see a dense array of characters flashing in Si Xue's eyes.

Without the added advantage of a disguise, he couldn't see clearly.

"come over."

Si Xue's voice sounded somewhat tired.

"Boss, where's the road?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Everywhere you go is a path."

Si Xue said calmly.

"Ok."

He tentatively took half a step into the sea of ​​fire, and the lava where his foot landed immediately solidified.

It solidified, but the temperature did not drop at all.

The keratin layer on his hooves was constantly melting, and the little hair left emitted a burnt protein smell.

But the ghost hand that followed Liu Zheng seemed oblivious, except that the golden liquid in the wound had darkened a bit.

Did I let you come over?

Si Xue suddenly spoke.

"Uh."

Liu Zheng stood frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.

As for the ghost hand, it maintained its forward-moving motion, with the veins on the back of its hand bulging, but it could not take another step forward.

“I don’t care what you’re after in this human, but I’m the owner of this restaurant now, so you have to follow my rules.”

“I don’t need anyone to listen in when I talk to my employees. Now, get out of my office.”
