Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"I have also heard of your great name, Minister Rokutoku, the youngest vice minister in the history of the massage department, and a strong candidate for the future ministerial position."

Er Tong replied with a smile.

"Second Sister doesn't know yet, but after we finish this job and go back, Sixth Sister will be the Executive Vice Minister."

Liu Zheng suddenly interrupted.

"Who told you to be so talkative? Don't you feel ashamed to bring up things that aren't even confirmed yet?"

Liu Tong turned his head and glared at him, but the seaweed on his face perked up happily.

"That's wonderful, Mr. Rokutoku-sama (master)~".

Er Tong drew out the last syllable, his eyes sparkling, almost stealing the souls of everyone in the massage department.

"Ahem, alright, alright, let's change our tune once the employment contract is finalized."

"For now, let's get through this difficult time first."

Liu Tong coughed and said.

Those who can gain the favor of Thirteen Orphans are naturally people who share his wicked ways.

If the situation hadn't been so inappropriate, Liu Tong would have immediately invited Er Tong to his private room for a drink.

"Okay, this way please."

The two of bamboo gracefully turned and led the way.

"Everyone stay close, and no one is allowed to run away, or I will definitely not let him off the hook."

Liu Tong waved his hand and led the others to follow her.

"Senior, may I ask what your code name is?"

Liu Zheng secretly nudged the person next to him.

"My name is Heping."

The person with a face that looked remarkably like a flounder turned around and replied.

"Peaceful Hand" is the simplest hand type in Japanese Mahjong, commonly known as "Pihu".

"You represent peace, and I represent harmony; this is fate."

He said affectionately.

"What kind of fate is this? There are plenty of people whose code names contain the word 'harmony'."

Seeing that Liu Tong had no intention of scolding them, Pinghe started chatting with Liu Zheng.

After all, it was the first time for everyone to do such a big job, and they were all quite nervous. It would be good to chat and relax.

"Meeting is fate."

Liu Zheng said shamelessly.

"You're quite the smooth talker, kid. You've got a bright future ahead of you."

He grinned and smiled.

His mouth curved into a wide arc, which, combined with his small eyes that were almost glued together, made him look quite comical.

Of course, Liu Zheng managed to hold down his facial muscles, which were on the verge of losing control.

After all, he was a man who had been delivering takeout for eight days at the Bloody Restaurant, and his heart was as cold as the kitchen's freezer.

"Whether we have a future or not depends on the support of Minister Liu and all the senior colleagues, doesn't it?"

He said with a grin.

"Don't worry, once we get through this, we'll be closer than brothers."

He said this in a calm and meaningful tone.

As the saying goes, the three ironclad bonds of males are: squatting by a window together, visiting prostitutes together, and carrying guns together.

Having survived near-death experiences together and gained promotion opportunities together, this group of people who served Dachuanliu together will surely form a small group in the future.

Especially Liu Tong; as long as he doesn't perform too poorly, this group will be his core support team for his future competition for the ministerial position.

"Brother Pinghe, may I ask you a question?"

Liu Zheng took advantage of the situation.

"Just ask."

He said it calmly and generously.

"What position does this 'Second Sister' hold in the Service Department?"

"I'm not sure, maybe it's the section chief?"

After thinking for a moment, Pinghe said.

The rank order of the various departments in the Hundred Ghosts Parade is: Department Head, Deputy Department Head, Section Chief, Group Leader, and Member.

"Shouldn't a deputy minister be taller than a section chief?"

"That's for sure."

"Why didn't the Service Department send a deputy minister?"

he asked.

"There's no rule that the deputy minister must lead the team; Minister Liutong came voluntarily."

His calm tone carried a hint of admiration.

Although everyone knows that the six of bamboo is for the position of executive vice minister, even if the opportunity is right in front of them, not everyone dares to seize it.

"Moreover, even if the Ministry of Service sent a vice minister, he should have gone to Lord Kunguna's side."

He explained calmly.

Each guest's situation is different, so the focus of the service will also be different.

On the Okawa River side, the massage department is the mainstay, while on the Kunguna side, the service department is suffering greatly.

"I see."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Silence!"

Liu Tong suddenly whispered.

The two immediately shut their mouths, even trying to keep their breathing as quiet as possible.

The group tiptoed forward for a while and came to a large gate.

The nearly five-meter-wide red gate is magnificent, with the pillars and beams covered in gold leaf. The gate is also inlaid with auspicious beasts and flowers with gemstones, pearls and gold paint.

"stop."

The six of bamboo stopped them from advancing.

"I know everyone is nervous, but the more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes."

"Give everyone a minute to tidy up your appearance and don't embarrass the massage parlor and bathhouse."

He said solemnly.

It's called tidying up one's appearance, but it's really just giving everyone a minute to sort out their feelings.

The crowd didn't make any big moves; some closed their eyes to rest, some took deep breaths, and some muttered incantations.

But judging from their heaving chests and the cold sweat beading on their foreheads, the results were worrying.

At this moment, Liu Zheng, who looked completely unconcerned, seemed very out of place. Fortunately, no one was in the mood to pay attention to him, and they would punish him for not being able to read the room, regardless of his status.

"Time is up."

Liu Tong said with a cold face.

"Whoo~"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and stared intently at him.

"I'll be the first one up later, and it's a male, so don't keep me waiting too long."

After Liu Tong finished speaking, he stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.

"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"

After three muffled thuds, the small door on the right side of the main gate slowly opened.

The main gate is only opened when important guests arrive or leave; the employees can only use the side gate.

Liu Zheng looked closely and saw that it was Yaoji who opened the small door to greet them.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and he gave a bright and cheerful smile.

Infected by him, Yaoji smiled slightly, but then frowned and hesitated as if she wanted to say something.

"Yaoji, hurry up and let the person in. Lord Dachuanliu is getting impatient."

Er Tong urged.

"Yes."

Yaoji lowered his head and moved aside.

Liu Tong glanced at her, then slipped through the small door.

The reason it's called a drill is really because he's so tall.

Although the small door is small, it is only relative to the main door. It is about 1.7 meters high and about 1.2 meters wide, which is more than enough for normal use.

"what happened?"

Liu Zheng was the last to enter the gate, and he asked quietly, a step behind.

"Xiao Wan went to Lord Kunguna's place."

"Yaoji replied in a low voice."

"Is there any hope?"

He asked directly.

"If this ends quickly enough, there might still be a chance."

Yaoji said, biting her lip.

"it is good."

Liu Zheng nodded and strode forward to catch up with the group.

"You can't save everyone."

Suddenly, Yaoji shouted loudly.
