Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Shall we go straight back to the restaurant?"

"I asked the driver."

"No, let's go to the Paradise Bathhouse first to return Jingzi to Jinzi, and then go to Rose Street."

Liu Zheng said.

"Boss, the way you're saying it makes it sound like we kidnapped her."

Niu Daji cautiously interjected.

"Oh, really? Slip of the tongue. Don't be nervous, I definitely won't ask your aunt for ransom."

He gave Qingzi what he thought was a kind smile, which startled her so much that she immediately hugged Wanzi who was standing next to her.

"Cough cough, let's go, let's go home. The air outside the city is so fresh, it's giving me oxygen intoxication."

Liu Zheng awkwardly touched his nose, then said loudly.

"Then sit tight."

The driver stepped on the gas, and the "hound" became a gray shadow as it sped through the dense forest.

"stop!"

He suddenly shouted.

The driver slammed on the brakes, and the car was thrown into chaos.

"Is there an enemy?"

The driver asked warily.

Although his perception far surpassed Liu Zheng's, there was no reason why he wouldn't have discovered the enemy situation that the latter could.

But this kid has created so many miracles that he dares not ignore the other party's judgment.

"Oh, no, not at all. I was just thinking, these monsters should be considered wild delicacies, right?"

Liu Zheng looked at the severed limbs outside, lost in thought.

"Should I be glad that you weren't in the kitchen back then?"

"The Nile doctor said with a complicated expression."

Judging from this situation, if Liu Zheng had been in the kitchen, neither he nor Sesha would have been able to escape.

Liu Zheng might even propose a plan to lure his descendants from outside the border in to kill them.

"Don't think too much, Doctor. What hasn't happened hasn't happened, just like you might betray me one day. But as long as that day hasn't come, I will trust you as always, just as you trust me as always."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

He probably guessed what the Nile doctor was thinking, and he didn't try to defend himself, because he really didn't know what choice he would make.

Rather than solving this trolley problem, he preferred to simply change the question.

"Ah."

The Nile doctor responded and then fell silent.

Liu Zheng didn't explain much; his actions had already proven everything, and there was no need to persuade him with words.

If Dr. Nile harbors resentment over this, it means the two are not compatible, and it's better for them to part ways sooner rather than later.

Of course, the fact that he was able to settle down in the metropolis with Cesar suggests that he's not that stubborn.

"Niu Daji, come help me gather the ingredients."

Liu Zheng greeted him.

"Ah, good, good."

Niu Daji felt a little awkward, after all, it was also a monster.

But it had no right to question Liu Zheng; he either obeyed or got off the bus.

Having already witnessed Liu Zheng's prowess, it certainly wouldn't give up the opportunity to leave Niutoudi just because of this slight awkwardness.

"I want to help, too."

Xiao Wan volunteered, even though her legs were trembling uncontrollably.

"Then, I'll go too."

Seeing this, Jingzi gritted her teeth and said.

"Okay, then we'll all go."

Liu Zheng waved his hand, then opened the hatch and climbed out.

Xiao Wan, Jingzi, and Niu Daji crawled out one after another.

Then, the Nile doctor also climbed out silently.

"very good."

Liu Zheng nodded and led everyone to begin cleaning up the battlefield.

"Damn it, those humans are picking up the corpses on our side."

Several kilometers away, the Golden Bear Child stared wide-eyed into the dense forest.

One of its pupils turned an eerie green, while the other turned a deathly gray.

"What are they planning to do? Take it back and eat it?"

Bear Paw leaned against a large tree, panting as he spoke.

Its fur was burned off, and its body was covered in charred flesh and blood. Some parts were even blown apart, exposing the bones and internal organs inside, making it look extremely miserable.

The tiger-bear child was similar, lying on the ground, only able to breathe in but not out.

Only Golden Bear Doji is slightly stronger, but even that strength is limited.

"Humans can't eat monsters, they'll turn into strange things."

Golden Bear Boy scratched his head and pulled off a piece of scalp that was roasted to seven-tenths done.

Mount Ooe once tried to feed humans all kinds of meat to see if he could cultivate humans with more flavors, but most of the attempts ended in failure.

"Not all humans are as weak as those we raise in captivity. The strong among humans can eat the flesh of monsters to nourish themselves."

Bear Boy shook his head.

"Moreover, even if they don't eat it themselves, they can still sell it."

"Okay, so what do we do now? Should we catch up with them?"

"Golden Bear Boy asked."

"Chase me my ass! Do we look like we can even move?"

Bear Paw said speechlessly.

When they had the upper hand and hadn't even seen the enemy's face, they were all wiped out by a barrage of artillery fire.

Now only three defeated soldiers are left, and they're still chasing after them? This isn't the way to seek death.

"Then what do you suggest we do? We can't just sit here and wait, can we?"

"Once we've recovered some of our strength, we'll head straight back to Mount Ooe."

"I think for a moment and then I say," said Xiong Tongzi.

"Ah, shouldn't we go to the bathhouse area first? Won't Strategist Ibaraki and Lord Shuten be angry?"

Golden Bear Boy said with some difficulty.

"What do you mean they'll be angry? I think you're just thinking about having fun in the bathhouse district."

Having spent so many years together, how could the bear paw not know what it was thinking?

"Hehe. But since we messed up the job, we should really explain it to them, right?"

Golden Bear Boy stubbornly retorted.

"Who would you explain this to? The lord of Mount Ooe is Shuten-dōji, not those two. Besides, given the current state of the three of us, do you really dare to go looking for those two?"

"Huh? Aren't we in cahoots?"

Golden Bear Boy was stunned.

"Who's on your side? Only the four of us are on your side. Why did the Third Prince volunteer for this task? Isn't it all for the sake of vying for the position of Crown Prince?"

“Right now, Ibaraki is all lovey-dovey with him. If he can get our support, he’ll be set on his throne.”

"That's what Kuma-dōji said."

"Shouldn't he try to please us?"

Golden Bear Boy asked, puzzled.

"Do you understand the concept of using both kindness and severity? Forget it, you certainly don't. In short, Boss Qingxiong doesn't want us to take sides so quickly, so it's better to have less contact."

"That's what Kuma-dōji said."

Chapter 414 I Only Recognize Underpants, Not People

"Aunt Jinzi".

Seiko climbed out of the tank and pounced on Sumire, who was waiting at the door to greet her.

"stop!"

Sumire was so frightened that she took several steps back.

"You, go wash yourself clean and change your clothes right now. You're disgracing our family like this."

She said with disdain.

"Oh~"

Qingzi stuck out her tongue, turned around and bowed to Liu Zheng and the others, then skipped and hopped into the women's bath.

It's clear that she is indeed very favored in her family.

"Masako, why did you get yourself all messed up again? This time you even brought Haruko along, and this little girl too."

Jinzi looked at Liu Zheng and said, somewhat speechless.

"You don't understand, the path to salvation lies only in excrement and urine."

He said with a serious expression.

"Is the Great Dao itself submerged in excrement and urine?"

Jinzi squinted and said.

"One meaning, one meaning."

"You and this mummy should also take a bath first."

Sumireko gestured for them to proceed.

"Do you want to charge us? If you do, then connect a water pipe for us so we can rinse it outside."

Liu Zheng joked.

"Let's forget it. If others see this, it will only affect our business. This time, it's on me."

Sumireko said, half-jokingly.

"Then I'll pay for it myself. It's hardest to accept a beautiful woman's kindness."

He pulled out a wad of banknotes, deliberately rubbed them on his body, and then stuffed them into Jinzi's chest.

"ah!"

Caught off guard, Sumire let out a scream.

But after she screamed, she discovered that Liu Zheng's tentacles hovered half an inch in front of her chest and did not actually touch her.

"hey-hey."

Liu Zheng stuffed the banknotes into her pocket, then swaggered into the men's bathhouse with Dr. Nile and Niu Daji.
