Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"There's no other way. When I left, I decided that I would never go back until I made a name for myself. Ten thousand years is too long. I'll seize every moment."

Liu Zheng said from the bottom of his heart.

His experiences at the welfare home might be amusing to others, but for him personally, they were anything but pleasant.

Despite the old dean's best efforts, his personality meant he was rarely bullied.

But an orphan is an orphan; the lack of material resources and the absence of family affection are enough to paint a heavy gray on their childhood.

The second sentence is even easier to understand: Liu Zheng is an ALS patient, and if he doesn't hurry, he won't even be able to buy a good number for a cemetery plot.

"So, are you going to take me back to my hometown, Liu Zheng?"

"I can't believe it," the vampire girl asked expectantly.

"I'm just saying that. Even if I make a name for myself, I won't go back."

He shook his head.

Liu Zheng has been good at escaping since he was a child. If he doesn't want to be looked down upon, he avoids interacting with people. If someone insists on talking to him, he will just leave. If he can't leave, he will communicate with them physically.

Since he's an orphan during the compulsory education period, the school can't really do anything to him.

Therefore, Liu Zheng had no obsession with returning home in glory.

"whispering sound."

The vampire girl took another bite of his scalp in anger.

"boarding."

Liu Zheng led them to the tank and said.

"I was just about to say this, isn't it a bit outrageous that you're picking people up from get off work in a tank?"

Nightingale complained.

If you didn't know they were there to pick someone up from get off work, you'd think they were there to violently demolish the house.

"These are some amazing tools that we'll be using in a little while."

He opened the lid and watched them jump in one by one.

"We'll be going now, Your Majesty the Witch."

He greeted the Scarlet Witch.

The Scarlet Witch twitched her eyelids as a response.

"Go on, what is the metaverse all about?"

After getting on the tank and having the driver start the car, Liu Zheng said to Nightingale.

"The metaverse is just a deeper network. With enough power or specialized equipment, one can enter the metaverse with their consciousness. It's like another world, where all experiences are almost identical to reality."

The nightingale replied.

"Almost? So there's still a difference?"

"Of course, after all, it's just virtual reality. But there are rumors that once the first life form is born in the metaverse, it will become a natural god, and the metaverse will become a real world."

"The nightingale said."

"What does this have to do with those monks?"

"Because the city hall is too strict about proselytizing, many religious ceremonies are not allowed to be performed. Those believers either choose to endure it and make a small fortune in silence, or they sneak around and move on to a new place after a few attempts."

"Or, like those monks, choose to go into the metaverse to preach."

The nightingale replied.

"Hmm, it seems there's no problem."

He thought for a moment and said.

He remembered that Buddhism teaches the concept of emptiness of the four elements, entering the monastery, and abandoning the physical body.

Once you enter the metaverse, everything you see and hear is false; it's like escaping the four elements and entering a life of emptiness.

If you don't even need the body, and only need consciousness, wouldn't that be like casting aside this stinking physical body?

"Hmm, in that case, wouldn't it be possible to kill someone or even possess their body via the internet?"

Liu Zheng thought of a problem.

"Yes, that's why surfing the internet is a dangerous thing. But many people still enjoy it for the thrill or other purposes."

"The nightingale said."

Have you ever surfed?

"you guess?"

The nightingale blinked.

"I do not guess you guess guess?"

He rolled his eyes.

"If you want to go to the metaverse, I can help you. With your abilities, you'll definitely thrive there."

"It's the nightingale's encouragement," the nightingale urged.

"Forget it, I don't even understand how to play in the real world, let alone the metaverse. I don't want to get fleeced as soon as I go in."

Liu Zheng resolutely refused.

His strength comes almost entirely from his legendary persona and "flesh and blood regeneration." Once he goes to the metaverse, he will lose both of these advantages, and he won't do something as foolish as severing his own life force.

"What a boring man."

The nightingale pursed its lips.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Liu Zheng accepted it calmly.

After arguing for a while, the tank drove to the entrance of the cemetery.

The journey was uneventful; I didn't even encounter anyone wearing a green vest.

"You've been working for the old man for free again."

The female divers said gleefully.

"It's better to be safe than sorry. Besides, given our relationship, what's wrong with picking you up from your next shift?"

He said it casually.

"What's your relationship with whoever it is?"

The female diver turned her head and said somewhat awkwardly.

"Oh? What's our relationship?"

Nightingale asked with great interest, while the vampire girl watched him expectantly from the side.

"Of course, it's the relationship between the succubus and his harem."

Liu Zheng said with a sincere expression.

"You're really shameless."

The nightingale paused for a moment, then shook her head.

"No, Liu Zheng can only have me as his woman!"

The vampire girl screamed.

"Isn't this what you all want to hear me say? I'll just give you what you want."

he said proudly.

People keep calling him a succubus, but he preemptively mocked himself.

Follow the path of the little black devils, leaving them with nowhere to go.

After getting out of the car, Liu Zheng escorted the two to the front of the apartment building, and there was still no disturbance.

"Should we get a ride up? We're in a safe period today, you know. Ouch~"

Nightingale raised an eyebrow at him, then the sea woman pinched the soft flesh of her waist hard.

"Maybe next time, my uncle is here, I can't do it."

Liu Zheng waved his tentacle and said.

"It's okay, we don't mind fighting a bloody battle."

Nightingale glanced at his lower body with a provocative look.

"I want to drink Liu Zheng's blood too."

The vampire girl joined in the commotion.

"Dream on! One drop of blood equals ten drops of semen. How can we let you off so easily?"

"So, what are you going to do? Go home by yourself, or go up with them?"

Liu Zheng tapped the vampire girl's head as he spoke.

"Can't you take me home?"

"I can't believe it," the vampire girl asked pitifully.

"No, I have something else to do."

He refused without hesitation.

"Hmph, you wicked Liu Zheng. Well then, I'll reluctantly go up and protect them."

The vampire grabbed his tentacle and bit it in retaliation.

"In your current state, we're more suited to protecting you."

"The nightingale mocked."

"What do you know? You big-breasted, brainless blonde slut. Less is more."

"Liu Zheng, she's mocking me, saying, 'When are you going to bring Vlad III here for me?'"

The vampire girl first retorted to Nightingale, then took the opportunity to act coquettishly towards Liu Zheng.

"It's coming soon."

Liu Zheng gave a perfunctory reply.

He had a mountain of work to do, so where would he find the time to buy alcohol for the vampire girl?

Besides, she looks quite cute right now, so it's not a bad thing to keep her busy for a few more days.

"cut."

The vampire girl pursed her lips but didn't say anything more.

"Okay, let's go up."

Watching the three people open the access control and enter the apartment building, Liu Zheng thought for a moment and then went to the security room.

"Hello, is anyone home?"

He knocked on the window.

"Is there anything I can help you with, young man?"

The window opened, and an old man holding a newspaper looked him over.

The older man looked to be around fifty or sixty years old. His appearance was so-so, but he was in a very good physique. Even through his loose security uniform, you could still see the outline of his muscles.

"Sir, do you know where that security guard went?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"What previous security guard? I've always been the security guard here."

The old man looked at him strangely.

"what?"
