Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

The old cowboy reached out his hand.

Liu Zheng clutched the coin tightly, his gaze filled with struggle.

Clearly, by giving him that one dollar, he had completed some kind of ritual.

If one were to complete a ritual with a powerful figure of this caliber, their life and even their soul might become out of their control.

"When I yell 'Run!', you run and don't look back."

"Ox and horse suddenly said."

It passed Liu Zheng and stood in front of him.

Drops of fresh blood seeped from its pores, and that blood evaporated into a red mist.

Upon closer inspection, the blood mist was filled with wailing, ghostly faces.

"Boss, there's no need. The gravedigger shouldn't want to kill me."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Hard to say."

The old cowboy said calmly.

"Hmph, do you think he can kill me? If Peacock can't kill me, neither can he."

The oxen and horses raised their heads, and illusory shadows grew from the broken horns.

"You're quite imposing. I certainly won't take your life. My farm just happens to need a sheep or cattle, and you'd be perfect for it."

The old cowboy said.

"You think too highly of me. I'm having a hard time delivering food now, let alone herding sheep."

The bull and horse opened their mouths, and a bronze bull's head slowly emerged.

The bronze bull's head has wide-open eyes, raised horns, triangular ears that stick out to the sides, and a protruding snout.

Although the bull's eyes were not dotted with pupils, one could still feel the fury filled with the sharp edge of war.

"run!"

The tails of the oxen and horses were lifted by a strong gust of air, accompanied by a muffled roar that spewed out along with the blood mist.

"it is good!"

Liu Zheng responded loudly, then decisively tossed the coin from his tentacle.

"Fuck you!"

The ox and horse raised their hooves, and a phantom hoof appeared above the coin, about to press it down.

"boom!"

There was a gunshot.

The bright yellow bullet struck the coin, ricocheted off, shattered the hoof shadow, and then vanished without a trace.

The coin spun and flew into the old cowboy's hand.

"Very good, remember to bring a coffin next time you come."

The old cowboy collected the coins, turned his horse around, and rode into the sunset.

"Are you out of your mind, kid?"

The ox and horse swallowed the bronze bull head and turned around angrily.

It finally agreed to risk its life for someone, but the other party didn't appreciate it.

Not only did it not appreciate our kindness, but it also played us for a fool. Where does that leave its pride?

"Oops, my hand slipped. Next time I'll definitely run away quickly and not give you a chance to back out."

Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"Hmph, next time I help you, I'll make sure my head and body grow upside down!"

The ox and horse swore an oath.

If the head and body of a cow or horse are grown upside down, wouldn't that be a horse or a cow?

He thought to himself with a strange expression.

Of course, Liu Zheng didn't dare say it out loud, otherwise Niu Ma would probably really beat him up.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. I've had plenty of important people approaching me, so one more won't make a difference."

Liu Zheng comforted the cattle and horses.

Including Oink, he has collected all five initial landmarks except for the waste treatment plant.

With the addition of the Red Phantom, the "Red Witch" board game arcade, Amaterasu Omikami, and the cemetery manager, it's becoming more and more of a tourist attraction.

If Liu Zheng is a native, he might become a human-shaped landmark in the metropolis if things continue like this.

Moreover, only high-ranking officials are allowed to take photos with the group; those below the level of the city hall director are not even eligible for a group photo.

"Hmph, it's your own life, you decide what to do with it."

The ox and horse pursed their lips and walked ahead on their own.

He smiled and followed closely behind.

With the help of cattle and horses, we encountered no further accidents along the way and arrived smoothly at tombstone number 10086.

"Here you go, boss."

Liu Zheng handed the tomb-sweeping package to Niu Ma.

"what?"

"Take this to your grave."

He said.

"Why don't you just go and sweep it?"

"No, no, no, after all, he is your old friend. It's more appropriate for you to sweep this grave."

He shook his head.

"You're the one who has something to ask him. I'm just here to accompany you. It's more appropriate for you to do the sweeping."

Even the oxen and horses shook their heads.

"Boss, you're not afraid to scan, are you?"

Liu Zheng squinted at it.

"You talk as if you dare to sweep it yourself."

The oxen and horses also stared at him with half-closed eyes.

The man, the ox, and the horse exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

Whoever goes to sweep the tomb will be the first to get beaten up.

They both knew this.

Two people who were just fighting for each other are now locked in a stalemate, each harboring their own secrets.

Chapter 347 Stop fighting, you won't kill anyone like this.

"I just risked my life to toss a coin to the gravedigger."

Liu Zheng started playing the emotional card.

"Then I was just trying my best to help you escape."

Niu Ma also spoke.

"Then I'll take you with me whenever I have any money-making opportunities."

"Then, if there's a takeout order that's guaranteed to fail, I'll deliver it for you."

"Then I."

"Then I."

The two of them took turns talking about what they had done for each other.

Two men who usually disdain each other's concern are now so eager to express their willingness to let each other breathe less air.

"Forget it, if this keeps up, my vacation will be over."

Liu Zheng waved his tentacle and said.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Let's play rock-paper-scissors.

He said.

"You think I'm stupid? Do you think I'd offer anything else?"

The ox and horse rolled their eyes.

"Then throw the cane; whoever the cane head points to will die."

Liu Zheng suggested.

"This is acceptable."

The oxen and horses nodded.

He took out a human bone cane and threw it into the air.

The cane flew high into the air and then crashed to the ground.

"Gan!"

The rounded end of the cane was pointing directly at him.

"Hahaha, even God is on my side, you can't escape this beating."

The ox and horse laughed loudly.

"Hmph, with you here, it's hard to say who Red Pig will beat up first."

Despite his stubbornness, Liu Zheng resigned himself to his fate and walked to the tombstone.

"Boss Red Pig, the big boss and I have come to see you."

He placed the tomb-sweeping offerings under the photo and said, forcing himself to speak.

"oxen and horses!"

The red pig poked its head out, its ferocious-looking head unleashing a furious roar.

It swung its illusory yet heavy fist, and the icy wind of the punch swept across the area in front of the grave.

However, while it called out the names of cattle and horses, its fists were aimed at Liu Zheng, who was right in front of it.

"Fuck!"

He had been gloating, but when he saw a fist the size of a sandbag coming at him, he was immediately terrified.

"No, why did you hit me when you called its name?"

He raised his tentacles to defend himself, shouting defiantly.

"You're no better, you both have to die!"

Red Pig smashed off four of Liu Zheng's tentacles with a punch, and then sent him flying into the air with an uppercut.

"Ola Ola Ola!"

Before he could land, the red pig stretched out its body and unleashed a series of heavy punches at his back.

The chilling aura of the undead froze Liu Zheng's limbs, rendering him utterly powerless to resist.

Of course, he could retaliate if he used items, but that would be too wasteful, since even oxen and horses wouldn't actually kill him.

Therefore, Liu Zheng could only grumble and curse as he took the beating.
