Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng sighed inwardly.

He probably couldn't cut tofu this smoothly even with a boning knife.

I wonder if there are any items that can upgrade the enemy's food ingredients. If there are, then it could form a combo with the boning knife.

First, he turns the enemy into a delicious meal, then he rushes in with a boning knife to chop up the vegetables—perfect.

As Liu Zheng fantasized, he flipped the two-headed mutant dog over again.

"What a magnificent white jade pillar reaching to the sky, a purple-gold beam spanning the sea!"

He couldn't help but complain.

By the way, could this be something a novelist specifically requested?

Thinking of the takeout orders the novelist had made, Liu Zheng's expression turned strange.

Then, with a swift motion, he severed the two-headed mutant dog's whip and penis at the root.

All the men watching felt a phantom pain and wished they could run away on the spot, but Andrina seemed somewhat excited.

"Here is the Blood Gem you requested. Apart from the necessary reserves, all the stock is yours."

The horn-gun hunter squeezed his legs together and placed a box in front of Liu Zheng.

He opened the box, which contained about a dozen blood gems, but most of them were small, with only three or four medium-sized gems.

After all, in recent years they have only exported and not imported any resources related to wild animals. The fact that they still have these resources is due to the solid foundation of the gunpowder workshop from back then, plus the fact that they have used them less.

"Very well, then we're even for this part. Have you considered the matter of sending someone to help me?"

Liu Zheng packed everything away.

"We don't trust you."

"The horn gun hunter said."

"Understandable."

He nodded.

Just when Liu Zheng thought they were going to refuse, the horn gun hunter spoke again.

"Therefore, we plan to send three observers in the early stages. If you are truly committed to shattering the Pale Night, all the hunters in the gunpowder workshop will follow you, even if it means shooting bullets at the gods."

All the hunters in the gunpowder workshop gripped their firearms tightly, their faces resolute.

"Bullets won't do; you have to use cannons to blast the gods."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

He had experience with this, even though he was the one who got bombarded.

"We also have cannons, as long as you can make the gods appear before us."

The horn gun hunter laughed loudly.

"Okay, it's settled then. Who's coming with me?"

"us."

Machine gun hunter Yura emerged with two hunters, one old and one young.

"Not bad, that shows some sincerity. Let's go, you can clean up the tables and chairs yourselves."

Liu Zheng waved and led a group of followers toward New Yate.

The church hunter and the gunpowder workshop hunter watched them disappear at the end of the street, then expressed their contempt for each other in the manner of hunters, before finally going their separate ways.

"Is the next stop the Forbidden Forest?"

After returning to the city of New Yate, Liu Zheng asked.

"Yes, deliveryman."

Just as Andrina was about to say something, a white bird swooped down from the sky and landed on her shoulder.

Upon closer inspection, Liu Zheng realized it was a crow.

Like the two giant crows, it also had a pair of blood-red eyes.

"This is a message from the church, please wait a moment."

"Andrina said politely, then removed the scroll of paper tied to the messenger's feet."

"High Priestess Amelia said we don't need to go to the Forbidden Forest anymore; she has already sent people to collect the materials you need."

She said this after reading the letter.

"It seems this Forbidden Forest is indeed quite forbidden."

Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

Faced with his sarcasm, Andrina could only remain silent.

She had indeed heard some rumors about the Forbidden Forest that couldn't be told to outsiders.

"That works too. It'll save me a lot of trouble and effort if someone helps me with the work."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

Anyway, his current goal is still to collect materials. If he wants to go to the Forbidden Forest later, Amelia won't be able to stop him.

"Let's go then, to Calcalens Academy."

Liu Zheng said.

"Let me make this clear first: if you masturbate in front of the Twisted Saint again, I will confiscate your tools."

He warned the helmeted man.

The helmeted man nodded reluctantly.

Chapter 303 I, Liu Zheng, never chase girls.

Is this a college or a church?

Looking at the buildings in the distance, Liu Zheng couldn't help but complain.

The pointed, intricately carved structures, along with various statues on the walls such as gargoyles, broken-winged angels, and large eyeballs, exude a strong sense of mystery and religion.

And aside from being smaller, it looks way too much like the cathedral of the Healing Church.

"Actually, the cathedral was built with reference to the style of Calculus."

Andrina said.

"Oh, I see, so it's because the father resembles the son."

Liu Zheng suddenly realized.

"This way, deliveryman."

Andrina greeted her.

The group followed her to the left and soon witnessed a strange sight.

A huge, pale moon hung in the sky, and the surface of the lake, as wide as the sea, shimmered with scattered silver light.

In the center of the lake, the moon's reflection remained perfectly still, as if it were truly there.

Liu Zheng looked into the moon's reflection and sensed that there were also gazes coming from within, and not just one pair.

"do not come."

A faint female voice appeared in his ear.

"who are you?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"what?"

Andrina turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Did you hear anything?"

he asked.

"No, boss, I didn't hear anything."

Xia Kai was the first to respond, and the helmeted man also shook his head.

"I didn't hear the deliveryman laughing."

Andrina replied.

"No."

The three gunpowder workshop hunters also spoke.

"Then forget it. By the way, don't look into the lake, especially don't look at the moon reflected in it."

Liu Zheng gave instructions.

He has a rational exemption, which is fine, but these guys don't.

He didn't want to lose personnel before even reaching the destination.

"Ok."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Even the newly joined gunpowder workshop hunters didn't object; they were just straightforward, not inflexible.

The group focused their attention and, led by Andrina, arrived at a cave.

"Did people from Calculus Academy used to walk through places like this?"

Liu asked with a strange expression.

No wonder they like to dig up other people's ancestral graves; they're all moles, aren't they?

"This is just a small path."

Andrina explained.

"Then why not take the main road?"

"The main road leading to Calcalens Academy has been blocked, and no one is allowed to pass through."

Andrina said.

"Wasn't Carlason Academy in decline? How come it still has the ability to block the main road?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"It was the church that sent people to block it."

"Why don't you use the main roads when you're blocking off those areas?"

He became even more confused.

"The people blocking the main road are the choir members; they are quite independent."

Andrina used a rather euphemistic word.

"Oh, I see. It's because they don't listen to Lao Mei."

Liu Zheng, however, made it very bluntly.

"They can be quite stubborn on some issues."

"Old Mei has been the Grand Minister of Education for decades, how come she still can't control her disobedient subordinates? Could it be that she got her position illegitimately?"

He raised an eyebrow and said.

Considering that she had asked him to kill the previous Grand Master, Liu Zheng thought it was very likely.

Perhaps Amelia was behind Dickins's beast transformation?

Tsk tsk tsk, don't let her delicate appearance fool you, she's quite ruthless.

"Of course not! Archbishop Amelia is the successor handpicked by Archbishop Dickins and one of the founders of the Church. Her succession to the position of Archbishop is what everyone expects."

As a member of Amelia's personal guard, Andrina naturally wouldn't tolerate such slander and immediately refuted it.
