Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng looked surprised and pointed behind the maid with his hoof.

"You think you can fool me with such a simple trick?"

The waitress showed no intention of turning around, her tone mocking.

"Duang!"

The next second, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

"I didn't mean to lie to you."

Liu Zheng gently placed her on the ground.

"Never mind, I don't think it's that bad."

After thinking for a moment, he abandoned his plan to stab the waitress a few times.

Then, head down the corridor to the left.

Chapter 410 Why risk your life for a few thousand yuan a month?

At the entrance to the barracks, two guards were idly standing around.

They were all dressed in tunic armor and kusazuri (skirt armor), with jinkasa (helmets) on their heads, dressed as foot soldiers (the lowest rank of soldiers).

"How many days has that guy from the Service Department been locked up inside?"

The guard on the left suddenly asked.

"How would I know? I only arrived the day before yesterday."

The guard on the right yawned.

"What terrible rule did she break that warrants such a long imprisonment?"

"The guard on the left asked."

"It looks like they released a pig, right?"

The guard on the right thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Just for this? Why not just let her make up for it herself? Why lock her up?"

The guard on the left asked curiously.

"It seems that because her family is quite wealthy, the boss wanted to squeeze more money out of her."

"That's what the guard on the right said."

"Ah? This isn't good, is it?"

The guard on the left hesitated.

"Why didn't you feel bad when you received the subsidy?"

The guard on the right rolled his eyes.

"hey-hey."

The guard on the left scratched his head sheepishly.

"Alright, stop overthinking. No matter what, the boss wouldn't lay a hand on us, his own people."

"That's hard to say."

A voice interrupted their conversation.

"Who?!"

The two guards immediately became alert, holding their pistols at the ready.

This short gun is called a "one-piece gun". The handle is a composite structure, with a core of hardwood such as oak and wrapped with bamboo strips. The handle is also coated with paint to make it waterproof.

A room is a unit of length, ranging from 1.6 to 1.8 meters.

"Your uncle."

As Liu Zheng spoke, his hooves continued to move.

The enormous figure, which occupied most of the corridor, moved as erratically as a feather being blown away, making it unsettling to watch.

"Hi!"

The two guards shouted in unison and thrust their short spears forward.

The gun tip was shiny and gleaming, clearly indicating that it was frequently polished.

The edge of the gun blade had a matte black sheen, making it look as if it had been coated with poison.

"Hi!"

Before the gun was fully extended, the guard on the right shouted again.

With a twist of his waist and a flick of his wrist, a short gun instantly split into hundreds of gun shadows, each one looking incredibly realistic, engulfing even the short guns guarding the left side.

Clearly, this is a well-trained combination technique.

If the enemy ignores the gun shadows and only blocks the real guns, then the gun shadows will become real.

If the enemy focuses on breaking through the spear shadows, they will be injured by the real spear that is charged up.

With the pufferfish toxin applied above, there's little difference between abrasions and fatal wounds.

"Fancy."

Liu Zheng clamped his blade between his hooves, unleashing a torrent of blade energy that instantly obliterated all the spear shadows.

The guard on the left stared blankly at the bare gun handle in his hand.

The guard on the right reacted quickly, opening his mouth to shout.

"Moo~"

Liu Zheng let out a huge scream, and his foul breath turned into a gust of wind that sprayed onto the faces of the two guards, almost suffocating them.

"Don't scream, live. Scream again, die. The choice is yours."

He stopped shouting and looked at the two of them coldly.

Who are you?

"Shut up, you idiot."

The guard on the left opened his mouth to shout, but the guard on the right slapped him shut.

"My lord, can we really survive?"

The guard on the right asked cautiously.

“To act as an accomplice to a tyrant is to be a public traitor. Killing you is not necessary, but a beating is still required.”

Liu Zheng said bluntly.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Hearing him say that, the guard on the right breathed a sigh of relief and pressed his companion next to him to bow together.

He calculated clearly that if he had the strength to fight, he wouldn't mind taking a gamble; he might even get a promotion and a raise.

But the beasts before us are clearly beyond our power to fight, so if we don't have to die, we should just admit defeat.

With only a few thousand yuan a month, why risk your life?

Is Haruko inside?

Liu Zheng asked.

"Yes, yes, are you here to rescue her?"

"Of course I'm here. Do you think I'm here to kill her?"

He replied irritably.

“A powerful person like you can save people or kill people whenever you want.”

The guard on the right fawned.

"You'd be better off going to the Department of Service for further training before trying to curry favor. Is there a plan behind that?"

After complaining, Liu Zheng asked.

"No, no, the two of us watching over things is enough. There's no need for any mechanisms."

The guard on the right quickly said.

While he was speaking, Liu Zheng was observing him with his extraordinary senses and did not detect any signs of lying.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Qingzi was just a pig that was raised to be slaughtered slowly; she wasn't a dangerous person, so there was no need to use strict supervision.

The stricter the supervision, the higher the cost. Given Grandma Tang's stinginess, she certainly wouldn't want to waste that money.

As for Qingzi's family, Grandma Tang clearly didn't think much of them, otherwise she wouldn't have used them to fleece people.

Unfortunately, no matter how much she planned, she couldn't have imagined that while Qingzi's family was no good, they had found someone who was.

While Liu was developing his network, he also became part of other people's network.

"Then you can get a good night's sleep."

He suddenly turned around, lifted his buttocks, and kicked out with lightning speed with his two hind legs.

The two guards had no time to react before they disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Although Liu Zheng used a pushing force, it was enough to keep the two of them bedridden for three to five months.

He pulled on the door, but the paper door didn't budge.

He squinted and saw that there was a keyhole on the doorpost.

"Uh"

Liu Zheng was somewhat embarrassed.

He was so busy showing off that he forgot to ask the guard for the key.

However, it's not a big problem.

He raised his butcher knife and slashed at the paper door, immediately cutting a gash in it.

You can vaguely see the lights inside, and a woman sitting with her back to the lights.

"Hello, is this Haruko?"

Liu Zheng called out.

The woman turned around as if she had just heard the noise, revealing a face that looked remarkably like Sumire's.

"Were you sent by my family to rescue me?"

She saw Liu Zheng and her face lit up with surprise.

“That’s right, my aunt Sumire is my friend, and she asked me to come and save me.”

Liu Zheng nodded.

How did my aunt introduce me?

"Qingzi asked."

"She said you are the most likely person in the family to revert to your ancestral form."

"I was right. Thank you so much for your rescue. I'll go with you now."

Qingzi immediately lay down on the ground and crawled towards the door with her hands.

Where are your legs?

Liu Zheng looked at her empty lower body and asked.

"I was cut off while helping my boyfriend escape."

"That's what Qingzi said casually."

"Do you know that he has already been eaten?"

"Really? That's fine then."
