Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

He said.

"what's up?"

"Release these people."

He said.

"The door closes automatically; it cannot be opened without the store manager's permission."

The shop assistant shook his head.

She didn't ask Liu Zheng why he wanted to save these pet humans, because that would likely invite another round of torment.

"Then open the octagon. If you still say no, I'll chop your head off with the next stroke. Dead people can sign for takeout, right?"

Liu Zheng said with a half-smile.

“Even if I open the octagonal cage, you won’t be able to escape. In three minutes at most, the manager will notice something is wrong and come over. By then, none of you will be able to get away.”

The shop assistant, enduring excruciating pain, offered a reminder.

Because if they can't escape, Liu Zheng will definitely take her hostage.

The store manager's choice would definitely be to kill both the criminals and the hostages.

"That's my business. If you don't do it, you'll die right now."

Liu Zheng said.

"Ok."

The clerk didn't hesitate any longer and pressed another button.

The octagonal cage gradually shrank back underground, leaving the human pets somewhat stunned, seemingly not understanding what was happening.

"Want freedom? If so, come with me."

Liu Zheng led the shop assistant to the front door.

The little girl he named Sniper Rifle stared at him for a while, then crawled toward him on all fours.

Other pets and humans followed suit, but they walked instead.

"Come here and stand in front of me in a single file."

Liu Zheng said.

He had originally intended to suggest that the larger people should stand to the side, but after looking at the group, he realized that even the strongest among them was less than two-thirds his size, so he didn't say it.

Why did you help us?

The sniper rifle struggled to fire.

"Because I want you to risk your lives for me."

Liu Zheng said.

Upon hearing his words, the pet humans immediately became alert, and the sniper rifles assumed an attack stance.

"But so what? Is it any worse than you being here?"

He said it nonchalantly.

"You said, yes."

After staring at Liu Zheng for a few seconds, the sniper rifle slammed its fist into its head a few times before nodding.

"Listen to him, line up."

It's clear that sniper rifles hold considerable prestige among these pet humans.

As soon as she spoke, the others immediately lined up.

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these pets had only had their spirits neutered, not their intelligence, otherwise it would have been much more troublesome.

He pulled a strange machine from his pocket, attracting everyone's attention.

Its shape and size resemble a heart, but it is entirely made of metal, without any flesh or blood.

However, its complex and precise structure is like that of a high-end clock, with even Liu Zheng's eyesight failing to make out the smallest of its components.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Tick, tick, tick."

The sounds of a heartbeat and the ticking of a clock emanate simultaneously from this mechanical heart, a monotonous rhythm containing a captivating power.

Name: Incorrectly Manufactured Mechanical Heart (Disposable)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: Creates a super explosion with a power equivalent to approximately 10 tons of TNT."

"Note: If you cannot have life, then destroy life."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"

This is what the Nightingale gave him: a mechanical heart that was made incorrectly.

It has lost the ability to give life to mechanical creations, but it possesses the power to destroy all life.

Even the nightingale could not escape the explosion, which was meant to take her brothers and sisters with her.

However, her situation has improved now, so it's fine to give it to Liu Zheng for now.

Anyway, if she were to simply self-destruct, she would have many other options.

The sniper rifle didn't know what the human citizen in front of her was holding, but that didn't stop her from sensing the terrifying power contained within it with her animalistic instincts.

Her hair stood on end in fear, and her pupils dilated to their limit.

At this distance, if she unleashes her full power, she can tear this human citizen to pieces in just three seconds.

Even though the sniper rifle hadn't eaten for a week.

The human pets behind her were also waiting for her commands.

There's no way around it; after so many years and generations of enslavement and oppression, an unbridgeable chasm has formed between human pets and human citizens.

Even pets don't trust each other.

They only trusted the sniper rifle, specifically the AWM1997.

Because she had killed a citizen who came to choose a pet in front of them.

However, the sniper rifle did nothing; it simply watched silently.

No one knows what's going on in that flawed genius brain of hers.

Of course, Liu Zheng didn't care.

When he decides to do something thankless and difficult, the opinions of bystanders and those involved become irrelevant.

All he cared about was how to achieve his goal.

Liu Zheng took out the suicide bomb button and then the ripped suit.

Name: A Real Man's Suit (Disposable)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: When wearing a suit and facing away from the direction of the explosion, an invisible force field is created to resist all damage and negative effects from the explosion."

"Note: A real man never looks back at an explosion, because being seen from behind will get him killed."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"

He put on a suit and combed his seaweed-like hair into an adult style.

"Hello, please sign for your takeout."

Liu Zheng said to the shop assistant.

"You promised to let me go."

The shop assistant screamed.

"When did I ever agree to that? Are you hallucinating?"

He asked curiously.

The shop assistant tried to struggle, but Liu Zheng instantly severed the remaining limbs.

"Fine, I see you've had a tough time, I'll sign it for you."

He picked up the clerk's hand, inserted it into her severed limb wound, and then wrote "signed" on the takeout box.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Liu Zheng bowed to her.

"You scumbag, you deserve to die a horrible death!"

The shop assistant cursed in despair.

"First of all, I am not a scumbag."

"Secondly, I was destined to die a terrible death, because I will live, and live forever."

He corrected him earnestly.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of the machinery operating rang out, and the lobby was unsealed.

The shop assistants rushed out from the various rooms. One of them, who was holding a whip, was particularly large and must be the shop manager that Xiaomei had mentioned.

Even from a distance, Liu Zheng could feel the immense pressure the store manager was exerting on him.

This person is probably stronger than Nightingale.

However, the stronger the opponent, the more excited he becomes when he kills them.

Now, everything is ready.

All it needs is a fire.

"Then let's light it."

Liu Zheng turned around, ignoring the whip that was thrusting at him like a spear.

Then, the button was pressed.

I worked overtime again yesterday.

Chapter 157 Art is a fucking explosion

The detonation button was pressed, and the mechanical heart opened its multiple outer shells, revealing the red gem inside.

The gem, no bigger than a thumb, shimmered with an eerie light, and an unknown liquid flowed inside.

The next second, the ruby ​​shattered.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Time seemed to stand still in the surroundings, with only the heavy pounding of a heartbeat ringing out.

Finally, after my heart had beat ninety-nine times.

Time resumed its flow.

The long whip traveled more than ten meters and pierced Liu Zheng's heart.

"Boom!"

The hundredth heartbeat finally arrived.

A blinding white light, as intense as a supernova explosion, appeared out of nowhere and instantly engulfed the entire pet store.

Then, nine identical heartbeats rang out again.

Liu Zheng closed his eyes, because even if he opened them, he couldn't see anything.
