Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng replied.

"Xiao Wan?"

Yaoji paused for a moment.

"How do you know her? You didn't come here specifically to look for her, did you?"

Once she recognized the other person's human identity, countless scenarios flashed through her mind, such as heroes rescuing damsels in distress and family members seeking revenge.

"Uh, no. I just happened to run into her in the elevator."

Liu Zheng said.

"Oh fine."

Yaoji was somewhat disappointed.

"Sister Yaoji looks a little disappointed."

He squinted and said.

"No, you're mistaken. What did Xiao Wan say to you?"

Yaoji vehemently denied it, then asked.

“She told me she had been arrested and asked if I could save her, and I agreed.”

Liu Zheng said briefly.

"You agreed so easily? You're not lying to her, are you?"

"I'm suspicious," Yaoji said.

The farther you are from the city, the fewer tangible and intangible rules and regulations you will be bound by.

This is why, even though the city is the core of power and money, many powerful people still choose to stay outside the city.

"How could that be? The payment has already been agreed upon; it's the pendant she always wears."

"She actually agreed to give you the pendant?"

Yaoji's furrowed brows relaxed.

She knew these were Xiao Wan's mother's belongings, and Xiao Wan wouldn't have said such a thing if she didn't trust Liu Zheng very much.

Did she successfully get to the thirteenth floor?

"I'm worried," Yaoji asked.

"I don't know, I left after sitting on the 7th floor. But she should be fine."

Liu Zheng said.

"How did you know?"

Yaoji expressed doubt.

"I think they'll give me some face."

Who is Yifa?

Yaoji looked completely bewildered.

"Hmm? Isn't 'One Shot' the code name for that elevator with the Angry Man mask?"

"Oh, so that's the code name for that fierce-looking samurai."

Yaoji suddenly realized.

"None of you know his code name?"

“Every time we see him, he either tries to stab us with a knife or he reads that stupid story and then attacks us. He never talks to us.”

"Yaoji complained."

"That's probably because you didn't trigger the side quest."

He shrugged.

"What side quest?"

"It's nothing. Why didn't Sister Yaoji ride the elevator with Xiao Wan?"

Liu Zheng asked.

“I was supposed to go with her, but I was called away for work at the last minute. I was so worried about her, I was even prepared to collect her body. Luckily, she met you.”

"That's what Yaoji said."

Since Liu Zheng even knows the code name for the men's elevator, then what he said must be true.

Although she didn't know where he, a newcomer, got such a lot of influence, there were all kinds of newcomers in the bathhouse; she didn't understand but could accept it.

"Sister Yaoji is indeed beautiful and kind-hearted. No wonder Minister Thirteen Yao praised you to me."

Liu Zheng praised.

"Minister Thirteen, what did he praise me for?"

Yaoji became alert again.

"Well, he said that Yoko-neechan is a good person, and that he avoids other members of the Service Club, but can chat with you if he meets you."

He repeated what Thirteen Orphans had said.

"Ha, he must be avoiding people from the Service Department. Everyone knows he's a womanizer, and once he gets a woman, he borrows money from her. In the Hundred Demons Bathhouse, you can run into nine out of ten of his creditors every time you pass by a barbican."

Yaoji pouted.

"em"

Faced with his boss's dark past, Liu Zheng could only remain silent.

Could this be a tactic used by Thirteen Orphans to expand his network?

If that's the case, then it's a bit too abstract.

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Since you promised Xiao Wan, you have to take responsibility. Even if you can't save her, you have to do your best to help him live. Otherwise, I won't forgive you, understand?"

Yaoji said with a straight face.

As a senior employee with connections, even if she can't change the overall situation, she can still do something to a new employee.

"Isn't Yoko-neechan going to report you?"

Liu Zheng laughed.

"Why would I report you? Every year, plenty of people try to escape from the bathhouse; one or two more won't make a difference. I'm neither in the general affairs department nor the security department, so this isn't my responsibility."

Yaoji rolled her eyes.

She was only half telling the truth. Xiao Wan was practically under her wing now, so if he really ran away, she would definitely be implicated.

However, as long as she is not the mastermind, and given her brother-in-law's connections, she will at most suffer some physical pain.

There is a reward for reporting those who escape, but Yaoji doesn't care about the small reward and doesn't want to take it.

"Yoko-neechan is awesome!"

Liu Zheng gave a thumbs up.

"From now on, don't call me by my name in public. Call me by my nickname, okay?"

"Okay, Yoko-neechan."

"Forget it, I can't be bothered with you. Where are you going now?"

"Yaoji asked."

"Minister Thirteen has something to do and asked me to wait in the boiler room first."

he replied.

Did he give you guidance?

"Is this what Yoko-neechan is talking about?"

Liu Zheng took out the coal slag.

"Yes, this is it. Keep it safe, don't lose it."

Yaoji glanced at it and nodded.

"If you don't have a guide on the basement level, you might easily lose your way, wander into places you shouldn't go, and then never be able to come back."

she reminded.

"Besides not losing the sign, is there anything else I should be careful about when going to the basement?"

He took the opportunity to ask.

"There's nothing else to it. Uncle Hachijo looks rather old-fashioned and strict, but he's actually a very nice person. As long as you help him out and don't cause him any trouble, you can stay as long as you want."

"The boiler room sounds like a good place."

Liu Zheng said.

"It's a good place, but it doesn't accept people, so you can't go even if you want to. Besides, Uncle Hachijo doesn't always give people fresh coal cinders, so if you don't have any extra guidance, you'll be stuck there forever."

Yaoji shook his head.

As for stealing or robbing, that's basically impossible.

The boiler room is a critical place where an accident could wipe out the entire bathhouse, so it goes without saying that Hachijo, who can guard it alone, is incredibly capable.

"What a pity, I wish I had applied for the boiler room job in the first place."

Liu Zheng said regretfully.

If the city hall's notice is for him to work here, he can stay in the boiler room until the system forces a copy settlement.

"Didn't I say that the boiler room doesn't need anyone? Uncle Hachijo has his own team."

"That's what Yaoji said."

"Okay. Does Yoko-neechan have a phone?"

"What do you want to do?"

"We'll all be working in the same place from now on, so let's exchange contact information so we can share things later."

He said.

Seiko is also an employee of the Service Department, and she and Yoko are likely acquaintances.

Given Yoko's personality, if Liu Zheng says he's there to rescue Qingzi, she's very likely to help and be able to do so.

Of course, he won't confess right away; he'll need to get to know him better first.

"Giving it to you isn't out of the question. But you have to promise me one thing."

Yoko said.

"Please speak, Yoko-neechan."

"You are not allowed to give my phone number to your minister."

Yoko said.

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Liu Zheng patted his chest and assured him.

He built his network through his own abilities, so why should Thirteen Orphans try to get a share?

Chapter 388 Either you explode under pressure, or you become abnormal under pressure.

"By the way, what your minister said is not wrong. When you meet other members of the Service Department, it's best not to talk to them, just nod."

After hesitating for a moment, Yaoji said.

"clear."

Liu Zheng nodded.

Based on what he had seen and heard, the Service Department was probably the department with the highest casualty rate at the Hyakki Gyo Bathhouse.
