Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"If it weren't for your cause, how could I have the effect?"

he retorted.

"Why are you mimicking those monks' speech?"

The fisherman looked disgusted.

"Huh, there are monks in the metropolis?"

Liu Zheng asked in surprise.

Chapter 417 Let the Metropolis Burn, Liu Zheng

"What does the Metropolis lack? What an ignorant boy."

The fisherman took the opportunity to mock him.

Are there any temples there?

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"Of course it exists, but it doesn't exist in reality."

The fisherman replied.

"Where is that?"

"I advise you not to ask, kid."

The fisherman glanced at him and said.

"With your rhetoric, it won't be enough to deal with those bald monks. If you end up converting to Christianity, the favor I owe you will be null and void."

"Since you helped me a little, I'll chop you up first and then feed you to the fish."

It said coldly.

"From what I'm saying, you have a grudge against those monks?"

"Hmph, these guys said I had a connection with Buddhism and wanted to convert me into a monk to become some kind of Dharma protector. I was young and not strong enough back then. If it weren't for the police passing by and chasing them away, they might have really succeeded."

The fisherman said unhappily.

"Becoming a Dharma protector isn't so bad, is it? It's better than you being a fishpond owner here."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"You know nothing! Do you even know what it means to be a Dharma Protector?"

"What do you want to do?"

he asked.

"Hmph, do you even know how to sculpt a golden statue?"

The fisherman countered with a question.

"do not know."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"The first step is to place the body in a vat. The monk's body is placed in a specially made earthenware vat while sitting cross-legged. Charcoal, lime, spices, and other materials are used to dehumidify and prevent decay. The vat is then sealed and the body is buried. Several years later, the vat is opened to check. If the body is well preserved and the flesh has not decayed, then the placement in the vat is considered successful."

"After disinfecting and cleaning the monk's body after it was taken out of the vat, wrap it with two layers of gauze, and then apply raw lacquer to the gauze."

“After the raw lacquer dries, it is briefly filled and shaped with tile ash, and then two more layers of raw lacquer are brushed onto the surface of the sculpted ‘mummified Buddha’. Finally, gold leaf is applied to the outermost ‘body’.”

"After these six processes, the monk's body will be transformed into what is known as a 'golden body'."

Fisherman explains.

"So they want to turn you into a golden statue too?"

"That's right. Those old bald monks even told me that I could achieve immortality after cultivating a golden body. I'm already an immortal being, why would I need them to help me cultivate? Screw them!"

The fisherman started cursing.

"So they were driven away and never came looking for you again?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Based on his real-life understanding of monks, these guys were very difficult to deal with; not only were they not detached from worldly desires, but they were also very attached to appearances.

"No, they were probably scared away. After all, a lot of them died that time."

The fisherman thought for a moment and said.

"I think it's unlikely."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

Why do you think they were interested in you?

he asked after thinking for a moment.

"Can you stop using such ambiguous language, kid? Maybe it's just my racial talent."

The fisherman rolled his eyes at him and said.

Although he usually likes to boast, he has a relatively clear self-awareness when it matters.

How many people are in your race?

Liu Zheng asked again.

"In the metropolis, it should only be me and the female diver. There might be some in the mermaid kingdom, but that's beyond the range of my bloodline senses, so I'm not sure."

The fisherman replied.

"Then you need to be careful, they might target the female divers."

he reminded.

"Those old bald monks dare!"

The fisherman instantly flew into a rage.

"They dared to ferry you when you were on land, let alone now that you're in the sewers. Even if they do ferry the ama, so what? Are you going to tear down their temples or burn their scriptures?"

Liu Zheng mocked.

"Whose side are you on, kid?"

The fisherman looked at him with displeasure.

"I'm just stating the facts."

Liu said without changing his expression.

Since we're already so close, there's no need to beat around the bush when we talk.

If the fisherman takes his anger out on him because of this, then there's no need to have any dealings with him in the future.

Sure enough, the fisherman just glared at him and then did nothing else, lowering his head in deep thought.

"not good!"

He suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Zheng asked.

“I remember now, those bald monks came to find me shortly after my coming-of-age ceremony. And the female diver's birthday was last month.”

The fisherman explained.

"Huh? So she's only just come of age?"

Upon hearing the fisherman's words, his expression became subtle.

With her figure and demeanor, it wouldn't be surprising to say she's a young married woman.

"You little rascal, you're not thinking about something filthy, are you?"

The fisherman asked with a displeased expression.

"No, I'm not. Don't talk nonsense."

Liu Zheng vehemently denied it.

This time he couldn't admit it, because the fisherman would really take the opportunity to beat him up, and Killer Sauce wouldn't dare to help.

"Hmph, better not. You, go and get her into the sewer."

"The fisherman commanded."

"Me? Why should I?"

Liu Zheng pointed to himself and asked.

"I've helped you so much, kid. And if you can get her down, I'll reward you handsomely."

The fisherman tempted him.

"What I mean is, why should she listen to me?"

"Weren't you two on good terms? You played board games together, went fishing together, and even split the loot together."

"That's what the fisherman said."

"We're just friends. How can you think that someone I've only known for a few days can resolve the decades-long rift between you and your father?"

He said speechlessly.

"I don't care, you have to figure something out. If the ama is converted into some kind of guardian goddess, you can forget about ever coming to the sewers again."

The fisherman said arrogantly.

Although Liu Zheng did gain recognition in the sewers, his status was still considerably lower than Liu Zheng's.

At the very least, if a fight breaks out, the sewers definitely won't help Liu Zheng.

"I can only give it a try, so don't get your hopes up."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

He was cunning and resourceful when dealing with enemies.

He's capable of anything, no matter how shameless, to achieve his goals.

But when it comes to dealing with friends, Liu Zheng really doesn't have any good methods.

He couldn't just knock the female diver unconscious and then move her into the sewers, could he?

Eh, it seems that it is not impossible.

"Have you come up with a solution?"

The fisherman, seeing his thoughtful expression, asked in surprise.

"I have an idea, but I need Nightingale's cooperation."

Liu Zheng said.

"That blond-haired girl? What right does she have to meddle in our family's affairs?"

The fisherman said unhappily.

"Ok?"

While eating melon seeds, Sha Jiang perked up his ears.

The fisherman's words make a lot of sense.

"Those two are inseparable. If I don't coordinate with Nightingale first, how am I supposed to make my move?"

Liu Zheng said irritably.

He's used up most of his cards, so he might not be able to beat Nightingale in a real fight.

Besides, even if we could win, there's no need to fight.

"This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time."

The fisherman suppressed his dissatisfaction and said...
