Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"I know, important people have bad memories, they don't have time to remember the three of us young ladies."

"That's what Nightingale said in a sarcastic tone."

"Three? You guys are that close to Emil now?"

he laughed.

"There's no way around it. That Batwoman may be stupid and incompetent, but she's still one of us. When facing a womanizing playboy, of course we have to stick together. Sigh~"

The nightingale gave a feigned sigh.

"That must have been a real hardship for you. Alright, isn't it time for the Ama to go home?"

Liu Zheng steered the conversation back to the main topic.

"She's already off work, but I added something to her milk tea, and she's gone to the restroom now. Praise me!"

The nightingale tiptoed to ask for praise.

"Impressive, impressive, you truly deserve it."

"You evasive man. Tell me what happened, or I won't keep stalling for you when you bring her out."

"The nightingale said."

"Alright, I'll tell you, but you absolutely mustn't tell the Ama."

He had no choice but to say it.

"decide as things go."

The nightingale did not give a definite answer.

"The female diver may have been targeted by a monk."

Liu Zheng told Nightingale what the fisherman had told him.

"So that's how it is. Ha, that old guy is completely useless."

As the lover of the female divers, she naturally didn't have a good impression of the fisherman either.

"Don't rush to scold the fisherman. Try to stall her for a little longer."

Liu Zheng said.

"There's no way I can play toilet play with her. Besides, that would only buy me an hour or two at most. Even if I can get through today, I can't get through tomorrow."

The nightingale said it was unable to help.

"We'll wait as long as we can; maybe we'll find a solution in the next minute."

He has been like this ever since he entered the Metropolitan.

"Alright, I'll sacrifice my looks then. You hurry up and figure something out, I'll call you back later."

Nightingale hung up the phone.

"Sigh, it's just like this every day."

Liu Zheng rubbed his temples with his tentacles, feeling waves of headache coming on.

As social obligations increase, so do the things that need to be done.

"what happened again?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

"Isn't this all the mess you believers caused?"

Liu Zheng explained it to him again.

"That's normal, isn't it? How can you expect the other party to be willing? Divine grace is as vast as the sea, and divine power is as powerful as a prison. Most people are foolish, so sometimes you have to use drastic measures. For example, many of the followers of Ra were converted from the followers of opposing pantheons."

The Nile doctor indeed didn't think anything of it.

"What if they're targeting Sesha?"

"Then I'll turn all those bald monks into donkey meat hot pot!"

The Nile doctor was furious.

"Ha, what a hypocrite."

He scoffed at the doctor.

"All intelligent beings are double-standard."

The Nile doctor acted as if it were perfectly normal.

"No, I have to go back to the sewers and ask the fisherman for something."

While you're at it, give the honey yogurt to Red Ghost and see if you can get some kind of killer weapon.

"Fine, go ahead. You're not really of any use here anyway."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

If we're talking about stirring up trouble, Liu Zheng is a master at it.

But if you're talking about being a bodyguard, his role is less important than Niu Daji wearing his family heirloom.

"Hey, it's the truth, but saying it out loud is a bit hurtful."

Liu Zheng gave the Nile Doctor the middle finger with his tentacles, then walked toward the manhole.

The people from the authentic massage parlor and the extreme brothel have already left. If those men in black armor really dare to force their way into the sanitation department's work area, then it really doesn't make much difference whether they're there or not.

Liu Zheng walked and made a phone call. When he reached the sewer, the fisherman was already waiting at the exit.

"Couldn't you just convince the female divers to live and eat at the board game arcade?"

Upon meeting, the fisherman began to criticize.

"If you're so capable, then you do it. The sewers are way more spacious than the board game arcade. At best, she and I are just accomplices, but you're her real father."

He retorted sharply.

"I don't care, you promised to protect the ama, so you have to find a way."

The fisherman resorted to shamelessness.

"Bullshit! I promised to help you break her up with Nightingale, not protect her!"

"Well, you didn't manage to do it either."

"If that's your idea, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll just hand her over to those bald guys. As long as she's brainwashed and forgets Nightingale, that'll mean I've completed my mission."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

"You dare! I'll skin you alive!"

The fisherman glared at him.

"I've fished for eggs in the sewers, blew up the street near the city hall, burned down the Peacock Tower, and even beheaded a god. What wouldn't I dare to do?"

He retorted sharply.

"If I hadn't saved you, you would have died on the very first step."

"It's as if you're not one of them."

Liu Zheng sneered.

"Kid, you really want to fight me today, don't you?"

"I think you're the one who's determined to fight me. I'm already busy with my own things every day, and now I have to worry about your family's mess. Can't you be a little nicer to me?"

"Am I not good enough to you?"

The fisherman was so excited that his lips were trembling.

"I'll give you a big fish that others can't even buy with money, and I'll just put it in a sack. I'll even break off my own finger and give it to you. And I'll be the one putting in a good word for you in the sewers."

"Kid, you should speak with a clear conscience."

"It's as if I've treated you badly. Besides, I'm talking about attitude, do you understand what attitude means?"

"I've been running around doing things for your family every day. You don't even offer to serve me tea and water, or massage my back and legs, but at least don't start by talking to me in an accusatory tone, do you?"

"Those who know us would think we're discussing something, but those who don't would think we're about to have a life-or-death duel."

Liu Zheng said.

"Hmph, I only speak like this because I consider you one of my own. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even bother to say a word."

The fisherman curled his lip.

"Being one of your own people is pretty unlucky. Fine, even if I'm shameless and don't care, how can you talk to a female diver like that? Can she accept it?"

"I am her father. Everything I say is for her own good."

The fisherman stubbornly insisted.

"Fine. See, your only weakness right now is the ama (female diver), right? Well, for your own good, I'll just go and kill the ama, making you invincible. Can you accept that?"

he asked.

"Then I'll kill you first."

The fisherman said without hesitation.

"Then it's over."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"If you could be a strict father and treat the female divers like pets by beating and scolding them, that would be one thing. But the problem is you can't get out of the country."

"How can you expect a grown daughter who is already living independently to listen to you just by saying a few harsh words and putting on airs as a father?"

He paused for a moment before speaking.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

The fisherman was silent for a moment, then said with a frustrated expression.

"Change your attitude. Let's not talk about treating your family with the warmth of a spring breeze, but also stop acting like a greasy fish owner. She's your only family, not a fish you're raising."

Liu Zheng said.

"I've always been like this, and I don't know how to change it."

The fisherman said in a muffled voice.

"You can talk to Dr. Nile about this; he is a very loving father to his daughter."

It's even a little tight.

However, it's understandable, since Sesha is mentally challenged. Treating someone with intellectual disabilities is like treating a young child; it requires more patience and gentleness.

As for the female divers, who are adults and still a little rebellious, it's best to combine the attitudes of the fisherman and the Nile doctor.

"understood."

The fisherman curled his lip.

"Alright, give me the stuff."

Liu Zheng extended his tentacles.

"Take it."

The fisherman pulled a whitish, spherical membrane from his pocket.

He took the capsule, and an item description immediately popped up.
