Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

The ox and horse shook their heads.

"You can fool the restaurant and the city hall, but you can't fool the peacock. Unless you just kill her, she'll keep ordering takeout."

"You overestimate me. Unless you can lure her to the black market, I'll be lucky to protect myself if I confront her at the Imperial View Villa."

Oink said.

Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow. How come all these powerful individuals are like earthbound spirits, carrying a weakness debuff as soon as they step outside?

"So, I hope you can help me with something else, boss."

"what's up?"

"Get this kid a spot to leave the country."

"The ox and horse said."

"Ok?"

Oink frowned.

"You want him to escape from Metropolis?"

“That’s right. No matter how long the peacock’s arms are, they can’t reach beyond the borders of the metropolis.”

"The ox and horse said."

"I don't have that kind of channel."

Oink shook his head.

It had no connection to the city hall and never intended to leave the metropolis.

"I have it, but I can't afford the price."

"What's the price?"

"Oink asked."

"One thousand portions of 'meat'."

The cattle and horses returned.

"Is it that you can't count, or did I mishear you?"

Oink almost laughed out of anger.

"A thousand portions of 'meat'—do you know what a thousand portions means?"

"I know."

The oxen and horses nodded.

"A thousand portions of 'meat' could buy a department head's position."

"You know that much. Is it really worth it for a human kid?"

"Oink said in a deep voice."

"There's nothing I can do, he calls me 'boss'. The boss has to take care of the underlings, that's what you taught me."

The ox and horse grinned, revealing their thick lips.

“But I didn’t do it myself. Black Claw was going to the waste disposal plant, so I let it go. It died, and I didn’t even collect its body.”

Oink wore a mocking smile, though it was unclear who he was mocking.

"It brought it on itself, you can't blame it. Besides, we've lived long enough in a place like the metropolis."

"It's just a matter of time," Niu Ma said calmly.

Oink, Black Claw, and this one all come from breeding farms.

According to the normal process, they should have died within a decade or so.

“Even if he crosses the border, he will forget about what happened in the metropolis and will still return according to the pre-arranged procedure.”

Oink pointed out the flaws in the Bull & Horse program.

"I'm ready for that."

The cows and horses spat out a chip about the width of a thumb, with scorch marks from being electrocuted on it.

"You actually managed to get your hands on this."

Oink was surprised but also somewhat wary.

This is absolutely contraband. If it hadn't been taken out of the black market, the police would already be on their way.

"With this, he can retain his memories and ignore the established procedures."

"The ox and horse said."

"It seems you were well prepared."

Oink's gaze lingered on the chip.

"Preparations began the moment I saw the charred carcass of the red pig."

"And now you're going to use it on this human? I don't remember you being such a selfless person."

Oink said skeptically.

"Because I'm tired. It took me so many years of hard work to get this chip, and I don't know how long it will take to get one for my wife and kids. Besides, I don't have the ability to get them all exit permits."

The ox and horse sighed.

When a person has a family, they gain armor, but also a vulnerability.

It could not abandon its family and leave the metropolis alone, even though it had once sought freedom at the cost of its life.

"Okay, I promise you."

Oink said.

"Thank you, boss."

The oxen and horses bowed their heads respectfully.

"I'm not a good boss, but I still have to repay favors."

Oink walked to the slaughtering table and stuck the butcher's knife into the cutting board.

Then, it took a deep breath and used the butcher's knife to carve a benevolent outline on the table.

Then, countless flocculent pieces of flesh emerged from the holes in the tabletop, intertwining and deforming themselves.

Finally, a naked human body appeared on the slaughter table.

Although he had no facial features, no hair, and not even sexual characteristics.

But Liu Zheng still felt a sense of beauty, a spiritual beauty that transcended the senses.

At the same time, he smelled a strong fragrance, the "flesh" aroma emanating from Ren's body.

"Gudu~"

Someone swallowed hard, but it wasn't Liu Zheng; it was the oxen and horses next to him.

There's no way around it; a thousand portions of "meat" shaped into the shape of a nut would make anyone's mouth water.

"Let's go."

Oink stabbed the butcher's knife into his waistband.

"Huh? Boss, you're going too?"

The ox and horse exclaimed in surprise.

"Do you think you can carry a thousand portions of 'meat'?"

Oink looked at it with disdain.

"Meat" should be carried by "meat". With the "meat" of cattle and horses, they would be crushed if they were put on it.

"really."

The ox and horse scratched their chins sheepishly.

"Besides, if I don't come with you, you'll be robbed as soon as we step out this door."

Oink said coldly.

"How could I? Let me do it, let me do it."

While feigning politeness, Niu and Ma hurried towards the door.

"Has it always been like this?"

Oink squinted at its retreating figure and asked Liu Zheng.

"I don't know, I've only known it for six days."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"hehe."

Oink grabbed the human body and carried it on his back.

Even with its strength, its body was slightly pressed down.

Oink adjusted his posture and stepped towards the door.

Liu Zheng followed behind it, pretending to help it support the human body, but in reality, he didn't touch it at all.

"No wonder it's been so generous to you. If it weren't for the age discrepancy, I would have suspected you were its illegitimate child."

Oink turned his head and looked at him speechlessly.

"That's about right. We humans have a saying: the eldest brother is like a father."

Liu Zheng said with a smirk.

"Your shamelessness really does resemble its own offspring."

Oink shook his head, too lazy to pay him any attention.

The moment Oink carried the human body out of the alley, the previously dark alleyway instantly became bright.

Almost all the houses along the street had their lights on, and greedy eyes peered out from the cracks in the doors and windows.

"Why aren't you sleeping so late at night? What, do you want me to personally put you to sleep?"

Oink snorted coldly.

Its sound wasn't loud, but it swept through the entire black market like a whirlwind, extinguishing almost all the lights.

Except for one lamp.

Chapter 237 Si Xue: Where do you want a massage?

"Demon, do you also want to eat 'meat'?"

Oink spoke to the room with the lights on.

That room was the casino that Liu Zheng had visited.

“It’s just a little bit of ‘meat,’ I wouldn’t even look at it. But Oinke, you broke the rules by bringing people into the black market ahead of time, so I had to intervene.”

The voice of a demon came from inside the casino.

"Who do you think you are?"

Oink said bluntly.

"In the entire black market, you're the most unruly. What are you doing here pretending to be so important?"

“Oink, you can eat ‘meat’ however you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. When have I ever broken the rules?”

The demon howled like a dog whose tail had been stepped on.

"Really? Many of these 'meat' were swindled out of their fortunes by you and had no choice but to sell themselves to me. Do you want me to release their memories?"

Oink sneered.

"Hmph, you can release it if you want. I've always run a casino based on mutual consent, fairness, and impartiality. There's nothing I can't say."
