Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"So, this means you're admitting you're a cat?"

He virtually stroked the cat's butt, then turned and walked into the clinic.

"Xiaomei, where is the Nile River doctor?"

Liu Zheng looked at the cleaning staff who were sweeping the floor and asked.

"The doctor went in to prepare and said that if you come, you should sit and wait for a while."

The cleaner looked up and replied.

"Oh, then go get me something to drink."

He said it bluntly.

"Would you like tea or beer?"

"Let's have some beer. I just ate a lot, this will help cleanse my palate."

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and then said.

"Shouldn't we drink tea to cut through the greasiness?"

The cleaning lady tilted her head and asked.

She was still wearing that bandaged outfit, with only her head showing.

The way he tilted his head gave off a strangely cute yet slightly risqué feeling.

"The problem is that you don't have tea here, only hay soaked in water."

Liu Zheng complained.

"whee."

The cleaning lady covered her mouth and chuckled, then rolled her eyes at him.

She's a clinic employee now, how could I say that to her face?

"Who's talking badly about my tea?"

The Nile doctor came out from inside.

This time he was not wearing that golden armor, but he had a crown on his head that looked like a bird's head.

"Why aren't you wearing that blindingly bright golden armor anymore?"

Liu Zheng asked

"That's just ceremonial armor worn during sacrifices; how can it compare to mine?"

The Nile doctor pointed to his crown and said.

"what is this?"

"This is a feather left behind after the previous Winged Dragon died in battle."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Wow, that's pretty awesome."

Ra's Winged Dragon Ra should also be a deity, so the feathers it left behind should also be considered divine artifacts.

"Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the god of la was seriously injured, I could take on ten oxen and horses while wearing this."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Can this Lego set be used too?"

Liu Zheng remembered and said.

“That’s right, this was originally intended for the next Winged Dragon of Ra; I’m just keeping it safe for it.”

The Nile doctor admitted it.

"Your real intention is not what it seems."

He raised an eyebrow and said.

"Just so you know, I don't mean any harm. In the metropolis, everyone needs to find a backer, especially for high-grade ingredients like this."

"Although my Lord has declined, his status remains, especially now that he has no one to command. If De Lego offers help in his time of need, he might one day be able to break away and become a god of his own."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

“I will convey the message, but I will not have any bias.”

Liu Zheng said.

"That's natural."

The Nile doctor nodded.

However, there was one thing he didn't say aloud.

The fact that Liu Zheng was willing to convey the message already shows the strongest inclination.

In metropolitan areas, it is difficult to establish trust between people beyond contracts and agreements.

But once established, this trust has a very significant effect.

“Is Cesar alright at home alone? If not, let her hide in the sewers for a while. I’ll talk to Fisherman and Killer and make sure they take good care of her.”

Liu Zheng suggested.

"There shouldn't be any problem, right? We have the Sphinx."

"The Nile doctor hesitated."

"It's better to be fully prepared, after all, you're going outside the city this time, and if something happens, you won't be able to come back immediately."

"Besides, your clinic doesn't just have Sesha; there are other valuables too. If things really get complicated, will the Sphinx protect the person or the items?"

The valuable items he mentioned naturally refer to the wealth of the Ra clan, especially the Glory of Ra.

"Oh, right, there's something I almost forgot to tell you."

Thinking of Ra's glory, Liu Zheng slapped his forehead and told the Nile doctor about the deal he made with Amaterasu Omikami using Ra's embers.

"Is there such a thing?"

The Nile doctor was greatly shocked; he had no idea that there was such a thing as embers.

"I won't cause you any trouble, will I?"

Liu Zheng asked somewhat awkwardly.

"Wait a minute, let me ask Ra."

As the Nile doctor spoke, he removed his crown and closed his eyes in prayer.

The Winged Dragon was originally one of Ra's top generals, so its feathers could naturally be used to communicate with Ra.

"La said it's not a big problem, and it might not be a bad thing, but I should still be on guard."

A moment later, the Nile doctor opened his eyes and said.

"That's good."

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Dr. Nile has never cheated him so far, even if it was initially out of consideration for the cattle and horses, which is quite rare.

So Liu Zheng felt quite bad if he had caused trouble for the other party because of him.

“You’re right. Let Xiaomei leave work early and then put Sesha in the sewer.”

"The Nile doctor said decisively."

"Okay, then get in the car first, I'll call them both on the way."

Liu Zheng nodded.

Neither of them were the type to procrastinate, so they immediately called out the cleaning lady and Cecilia.

After dealing with the Sphinx, they first sent the cleaning lady home, and then took Sesha to the sewer.

"Then I'll leave it to you two."

The Nile doctor comforted Sesha, then bowed to the fisherman and the killer.

"No need to be polite. We're colleagues, so helping each other out is nothing."

The fisherman said calmly.

The Nile doctor smiled, not calling out the other person's stubbornness.

Colleagues? Colleague relationships are worthless in the metropolis.

The fisherman only agreed to help because of Liu Zheng; otherwise, he couldn't even take care of his own daughter, let alone help someone else.

"Hey, don't be so polite. You're my buddy's friend, so you're my friend too. It's just looking after the child for a bit. Don't worry, I promise I won't let her get cold or hungry."

"Come on, my dear, put this on and have a few potatoes. I grew them myself. They may not look very appealing, but they're delicious with a sprinkle of salt."

Killer was much more frank. He reached out and draped the dragon robe and funeral shroud over Sesha, then handed her a few roasted potatoes.

Sesha took the potato blankly, then looked at the Nile Doctor.

"Take it, and remember to say thank you."

The Nile doctor nodded.

Under normal circumstances, he would never let Sesha eat food from outside.

But since they've already given Sesha such valuable life-saving equipment, it would be impolite to doubt them further.

"Thank you uncle."

Sesa's head was still turned towards the Nile doctor, but she was saying something.

"What? That honey yogurt didn't work for Sesa?"

Liu Zheng frowned.

"Who says it's useless? It's very useful."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Why is Sesha still like this?"

"No, haven't you noticed that she's become much more witty than before?"

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"For example?"

"For example, she will add the word 'uncle' herself."

The Nile doctor looked at Sesha with a relieved expression.

"Now I think you're quite lucky. At least the female divers remember to lock their doors when they go out and know to use an umbrella when it rains."

Liu Zheng looked at the fisherman.

The fisherman didn't speak out of politeness, but he did nod slightly.

After leaving the sewers, the three returned to the Bloody Restaurant.

Liu Zheng and the Nile River doctor waited outside, while the driver went back to change vehicles.

"Bloody Restaurant."

The Nile doctor looked at the building with a complicated expression.

Although his clinic was not far from the restaurant, he never returned there.

In this building, he had personally witnessed his fellow clansmen being skinned and dismembered, and then turned into various specialty dishes.

Whether they were scholars, warriors, priests, or doctors in life, they were no different from livestock in the kitchen's slaughterhouse.

The only saving grace is that none of the employees responsible for slaughtering them had a penchant for cruelty, and the process was clean and efficient.

"I haven't had time to deal with that traitor yet."

Liu Zheng suddenly said.

"It's okay, I know you're busy. Anyway, that bastard won't die anytime soon."
