Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Whether it's Nightingale, who becomes the sole heir, or a novelist, they should both have the ability to protect a small clinic.

"Thank you. What kind of reward would you like?"

"No need, I'm doing this for myself too."

He shook his head.

"You should still be paid the due compensation. How about this, I'll take a look at your illness."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"No need, I'm not sick."

"No, you're sick."

"The Nile doctor said with certainty."

I really didn't.

Liu Zheng's eyes suddenly widened.

"Can you cure my ALS?!"

Chapter 187 Does Wearing a Woman's Head Count as Crossdressing?

"What is ALS?"

The Nile doctor paused for a moment and asked.

"It's a condition that causes nerve damage and gradual muscle weakness."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Oh, I've heard of it. I can't cure that disease."

The Nile doctor shook his head.

"Okay, so what illness are you talking about?"

Although disappointed, he wasn't entirely surprised.

Since ALS was a bargaining chip used by the system to trick him into signing a betting agreement, how could he possibly be cured so easily?

"Irritability".

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Oh, you said that."

Liu Zheng suddenly realized.

"Whether it's treated or not doesn't really matter."

He said it nonchalantly.

So far, his "irritability" hasn't caused him much trouble; his exceptionally high mental strength allows him to maintain a semblance of rationality.

Rather than being a temporary bout of madness, Liu Zheng's "irritability" is more of a means to maintain his humanity.

"Are you sure? Being easily angered in the Metropolis is not a good thing."

"The Nile doctor asked."

"If it's not too difficult to treat, then let's get it treated."

"If that's your attitude, then I have another treatment option."

"Dr. Nile thought for a moment and said."

"Oh? What plan?"

“I can give you another disease that greatly increases your strength when you are angry, even to the point of ignoring your body’s protective mechanisms.”

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"This is good, this is good, I want this one."

Liu Zheng was overjoyed.

For most people, this is a double-edged sword.

For him, this is a completely positive buff.

If the body breaks down, it breaks down; it can just grow back, and the new one is even better.

"Even though you are a hybrid of a black goat cub, your recovery ability is still limited."

The Nile doctor kindly offered this advice.

"It's alright, I have a special constitution."

Liu Zheng said.

From this statement, he also deduced that the Nile doctor's abilities were clearly inferior to those of the Ox-Horse Cult and the High Priest Garcia of the Round God Cult.

Because they could tell that he had heard the gospel.

"Alright, then come with me."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Okay. By the way, where's Sesha?"

As Liu Zheng followed him forward, he asked a question.

“I put her back in the stone coffin. Her mental state has been deteriorating more and more rapidly in recent years.”

The Nile doctor sighed.

"Actually, having low intelligence is not necessarily a bad thing."

He comforted.

In a metropolis, the smarter and more emotional you are, the more uncomfortable you become.

“I understand. I don’t expect her to turn back into the clever and adorable little angel she used to be. As long as she can take care of herself, that’s enough.”

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Okay, so what exactly is that local specialty?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don't know either. A patient told me that, but he only received one course of treatment and never came back. He's probably dead."

"The Nile doctor said casually."

In the metropolis, it is perfectly normal for a sick person to die suddenly.

Sometimes they die of illness, sometimes they commit suicide, and sometimes they are disposed of.

"No distinguishing features at all?"

There's no information at all, how is he supposed to find it?

Judging from the vast Gobi Desert that the old cowboy rode to, the cemetery is much larger than it appears.

"It looks like a plant that resembles a brain."

"After trying to recall, Dr. Nile said."

Becoming a mummy did have an impact on his intelligence; the once brilliant scholar with a photographic memory now had a memory similar to that of an average middle-aged man.

"Okay, then I can only say I'll try my best to find it for you."

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

Given the abundance of resources in a metropolis, this feature is barely worth mentioning.

"Thank you. We're here, let's go inside."

The Nile doctor led him to a jar and said.

"Where do we crawl in from?"

Liu Zheng looked at the jar and said.

This jar looks a little taller than him, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with a warm, smooth surface; it's probably made of polished calcite.

However, unlike normal calcite, it is covered with patterns similar to human blood vessels, including both arteries and veins.

There was no opening on the jar, and what should have been the lid had been replaced by a woman's head.

She had a beautiful face, a low forehead, thick eyelashes, and a bronze complexion, exuding exotic charm.

Her shoulder-length short hair was transformed into numerous small braids, adorned with various gemstones and precious metals such as turquoise, malachite, garnet, and lapis lazuli.

Liu Zheng felt that if he took off all the decorations on her head, he could open a jewelry store.

"You can crawl in once you open her head."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

Upon hearing the Nile doctor's words, the woman's eyes widened, she glared at him, and let out a low growl.

Liu Zheng noticed that her tongue had been cut off.

"Excuse me, who is she?"

He said.

"Oh, this is my concubine who had an affair with the guard."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"If it's just an affair, it shouldn't be that serious."

Liu Zheng frowned.

After all, he was a human being, and being turned into this state still made him somewhat uncomfortable.

“If I hadn’t discovered it early, you would have bought my elegy.”

The Nile doctor gave a simple explanation.

"That's okay."

Liu Zheng suppressed his meager sympathy.

"Someone like you is rarer in Metropolis than even the descendants of ours. How did you survive in a place like the Bloody Restaurant?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

"I don't know, maybe it was just luck."

He shrugged.

He has a bit of intelligence, a bit of ruthlessness, a bit of skill, and a bit of shamelessness.

But overall, it still depends on luck.

"Luck is a good thing, may the sun god Ra bless you."

The Nile doctor nodded.

"Thank you, but I shouldn't be under your divine jurisdiction."

Liu Zheng said, completely lacking in emotional intelligence.

If anyone is protecting him, it should be the system protecting him, or at the very least, that evil god who insists on singing to him.

Moreover, if the sun god Ra could truly protect them, the Nile's kin wouldn't have been wiped out.

"Speaking of which, isn't the Bloody Restaurant supposed to be looking for mummies? Sesha was originally human, so why was she captured and used as food?"

Liu Zheng suddenly had an idea.

"Because there is a traitor among us."

The bandages on the Nile doctor's face trembled slightly, revealing his anger.

"traitor?"

“That’s right, he was also a priest who possessed the technology to turn the descendants of Ra into mummies. So he betrayed us, exchanging the opportunity to become a restaurant employee by turning his own kind into mummies.”

"That's what the Nile doctor said."
