Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

But for some reason, it still didn't pounce.

"Compassion only burdens us with unnecessary guilt, ultimately leading to our collapse."

Liu Zheng withdrew his gaze and looked at the dog-man again.

"Then what should we do?"

After a moment of silence, Anke asked.

"They are beasts, we are humans, it's that simple."

“If they don’t attack us, we will ignore them like travelers.”

“When they attack us, we dismember them like hunters.”

"As for their resentment and sins, those who caused them to become beasts, gods, or something else should bear the consequences."

He said calmly.

Just like Liu Zheng himself, if he were to completely transform his nature one day, he would have no complaints when others came to hunt him down.

Of course, he wouldn't just surrender without a fight.

Anko nodded silently.

He couldn't be as composed as Liu Zheng, because many of these wild animals were his neighbors, friends, or even relatives.

But he was indeed somewhat relieved by the attitude of this outsider.

"So he was waiting for his companions."

Liu Zheng suddenly said.

Two slightly smaller wild beasts emerged from the corners on either side, approaching them one after the other.

Compared to the one on the eaves, their degree of bestiality was much lower.

Not only do they walk upright, but their faces still show clear human features, and they are even wearing complete clothes.

Perhaps calling them savages would be more appropriate than wild beasts.

However, the machetes they wielded were just as deadly as the canines' claws.

"Salmon, protect our guide."

Liu Zheng shouted.

"No problem, salmon is amazing!"

The calico cat stood up from a pile of jerky and patted its chest.

Of course, all the Anco family could hear was a series of meows.

"Take this."

Liu Zheng handed the boning knife to An Ke.

Although it's unknown whether ordinary people can trigger the item's effect, the boning knife itself is already far sharper than ordinary weapons.

"You should use it; it will be more effective in your hands."

Anke was moved but quickly refused.

"Oh, it's okay, this will be fine for me."

His tentacles plunged into the pile of potatoes, then he pulled out an enormous, serrated butcher's knife.

"Uh"

Anke glanced at the butcher's knife, which was wider than his head, and silently accepted the boning knife, which was only three fingers wide.

By the way, when did this outsider hide the butcher's knife in the pile of potatoes?

"We should have brought some torches with us."

He said with some regret.

"why?"

"Fire has an additional killing effect on these wild animals; some animals even dare not approach when they see torches."

Anko explained.

"Oh, we don't need torches. If they get burnt, they won't work."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"."

Anko focused his attention on the approaching beast, without pondering the meaning behind his words.

"Go away!"

As the two beasts wielding machetes approached, one of them suddenly let out a curse.

"Ok?"

Liu Zheng was stunned. They could still talk?

"Get away, hunter, stop hurting us!"

Another beast shouted loudly.

Their voices were somewhat muffled, but their meaning was still quite clear.

"These wild beasts can talk? Is there any hope for them?"

he asked.

If there's still hope, Liu Zheng wouldn't mind letting them go.

After all, this city is quite large, and there should be plenty of raw materials.

“Look at their pupils. If they’ve turned into the shape of fried eggs, or if their eyes are bloodshot, then there’s no hope.”

Anke thought for a moment and then said.

"It's turned into a fried egg, and it's a double yolk."

Liu Zheng glanced at it and said, then licked his lips.

"Well, that means there's no hope."

Anke barely suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and replied.

What the hell is this double-yolk egg? Are you implying you want to take it off and fry it fresh?

Wait a minute, given this outsider's level of nerves, it might actually be possible.

He shuddered for no apparent reason.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that then. By the way, why do they call me a hunter?"

"Because many of the church's hunters use a saw-like knife like yours as a weapon."

Anke replied.

"So that's it."

If that's the case, Liu Zheng needs to raise his assessment of the city's military strength.

If most church hunters could use such heavy weapons, their average combat strength would obviously be much higher than it is in reality.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although these wild beasts are no match for the security guards at the entrance of the community in his eyes, they are still quite ferocious in the eyes of ordinary people.

The church hunters, who were sent to deal with these beasts, were naturally quite capable.

"I'm giving you one last chance: disappear from my sight."

Liu Zheng picked up the butcher's knife and said.

"Ow!"

His final act of mercy was met only with a wild roar.

"Then there's nothing we can do."

Liu Zheng stomped his hoof heavily on the ground, kicking up a pile of gravel.

Then he leaped high into the air, his tentacles waving as he lowered his butcher's knife.

However, beneath his blade lay the heads of canine beasts.

Chapter 253 The Kind Gentleman from the Bloody Restaurant (Part 2)

The falling dog-man suddenly looked up, a hint of confusion in his cloudy, bloodshot eyes.

It was clearly the one who jumped down from the roof, yet this human ended up on its head.

However, its wild instincts still compelled it to take action.

The slender waist twisted violently in the air, and the dog-man's body flipped in an incredible direction.

The deformed head successfully avoided the blade, but the equally deformed hind legs delivered themselves to the slaughterhouse.

The serrated blade effortlessly sliced ​​through the dogman's hind leg, the thick fur and hard bone offering no resistance.

This is real damage, the most real damage.

"Ow!"

Amidst the dog-man's agonizing howls, two beast-like residents wielding machetes charged forward.

They were very fast, and they rushed in front of Liu Zheng before he even landed.

The mutated, slender, and twisted arms were unusually powerful, and the machete whistled through the night wind.

At this moment, both of Liu Zheng's tentacles were worn out from using the serrated butcher knife technique.

Faced with attacks from both sides, it seemed that all he could do was close his eyes and wait for death.

"Mr. Liu Zheng!"

Anke cried out in surprise upon seeing this.

He never expected that, on the second Pale Night forty years later, these beasts would not only not have become weaker, but would have become much stronger.

If they had possessed such power during the first Pale Night, I would never have survived.

If this outsider dies, they will undoubtedly lose a great help.

Moreover, if Liu Zheng gives the order, that powerful cat probably won't help them anymore.

Then the Anko family will only have two outcomes: become food for wild beasts or...

Become a beast.

"No!"

Anco does not accept this outcome.

He swung his arm forcefully and threw the boning knife out of his hand.

For the past forty years, he has often been haunted by the shadow of that night.

Although Anco did not participate in the training of those hunting skills for certain reasons, he had his own way of practicing in private.

That's a throwing axe.

Although he now uses a boning knife, decades of consistent practice and the boiling blood in his body still allow him to perform exceptionally well.

The boning knife spun several times in the air before striking a beast-like resident squarely in the back of the head.

The sharp tip of the knife pierced his skull in an instant and grew out of his mouth.

Thick, dark brain tissue dripped, drop by drop, from the tip of the knife onto the blue stone slab.

"Well done."

Liu Zheng waved his third tentacle, sending another beast-like resident flying, and then praised him.

He was quite surprised to find that the portly tavern owner had this skill; it made him look at him with new respect.

"careful!"

As Anke warned him, a slight gust of wind came from behind him.
