Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Address: Room 403, Block E, Xihe Center.

"Orderer: Manager Wang"

Time limit: within forty minutes.

"Huh, this time it's not the residential area?"

And there are also people who have placed orders.

Liu Zheng's expression changed slightly.

This takeout order doesn't seem like it's going to go very smoothly.

Chapter 54 Ghost Hands and Bones

"Boss, are there any things I should pay attention to when delivering orders to office buildings?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Office buildings, huh? That's quite troublesome."

The oxen and horses frowned upon hearing this.

"They rarely order takeout, but they're always incredibly difficult to deal with. One minute they'll ask you to take out the trash, the next they'll ask you to carry water."

"I'll go myself. They'll only make things more difficult for a newbie like you."

"Is there any way to deal with them?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"First of all, don't even think about confronting them head-on. The security guards in office buildings are not the same as the security guards in residential communities. It would be a bit difficult for me to beat them up."

"Secondly, you can try to get close to their manager or someone. Once you get the boss on your side, it'll be much easier to get the employees on your side."

The cattle and horses returned.

"What if the manager is the one who placed the order?"

"Then let's find the general manager; there's always someone with a higher rank."

The ox and horse said nonchalantly.

"Hey boss, what we're saying is, is it a bit beneath a deliveryman to try and get on the good side of the general manager?"

Liu Zheng said tactfully.

"Mind your place, you're a deliveryman for Bloody Restaurant."

"It's like a cow and a horse," Niu Ma said seriously.

"Remember, restaurants will never give you an order they can't deliver. You either rely on your skills, your luck, or your brain; there's always a way."

"Of course, if you don't have anything, then you can report to the kitchen yourself."

What I do when I report to the kitchen is, of course, to prepare ingredients.

"Okay. Is there anything else?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Also, bring me back a cup of 'Unlucky Coffee'."

The ox and horse pulled out a banknote and two coins and threw them to him.

"Consider the rest as a tip."

It replied in a pretentious manner.

"Hehe, that's very generous."

Because of those two coins, there won't be any tip left.

"The restaurant should have coffee, right?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"The coffee at the restaurant is a rip-off for idiots; it's expensive and tastes terrible."

The oxen and horses shook their hooves.

"The name 'Unlucky Coffee' doesn't sound very appetizing, does it?"

"What do you know? This coffee is really popular right now, but it's only available in office buildings, so it's hard to buy."

The ox and horse paused for a moment and then spoke.

"If you have money, buy more, and I'll take them to the kitchen for you."

"it is good."

Liu Zheng nodded.

He knew what cattle and horses meant.

It's going on vacation soon, and Liu Zheng will have to handle things with the kitchen himself then, so it's essential to maintain good relations.

"Get lost, I'm going back to sleep."

After saying that, the ox and horse went back to their den and lay down on their backs.

Judging from his appearance, he probably won't get up until lunch is delivered.

Liu Zheng smiled, picked up his delivery box, and walked out of the break room.

There was already a lunchbox on the food cart, and something else was lying next to it.

The drunken ghost hand.

When it saw Liu Zheng come out, it swayed as it got up and then vomited a bunch of semi-solid mixed with glass shards.

"Uh"

Liu Zheng covered his nose.

The smell was comparable to the fart he let out earlier.

Luckily, I didn't vomit on the food container.

After vomiting, Ghost Hand seemed to regain some clarity. He waved to Liu Zheng, then jumped off the food cart and crawled towards the delivery lane.

Is this about letting yourself go with it?

He was on his way to deliver food anyway, so it was convenient for him.

However, before leaving, Liu Zheng didn't forget to put the takeout box into the Legend takeout box.

The absence of any unusual activity in the delivery box indicates that the food and the delivery order match.

So Liu Zheng followed Ghost Hand into the delivery lane.

The passage was still completely dark, and even with his enhanced vision from the legendary vest, he couldn't see anything.

However, because I'm used to it, I don't panic.

After walking forward for about ten meters, Liu Zheng felt a push on his shoulder, and his body involuntarily turned in a different direction.

Then, Ghost Hand tugged at his trouser leg, signaling him to move forward.

This passage isn't a straight path?

Liu Zheng was somewhat surprised.

He had been feeling his way around with his hands, even though there were walls on both sides.

However, considering the abnormalities of this world, this kind of thing is actually quite normal.

After hesitating for two seconds, Liu Zheng decided to follow Ghost Hand.

With the added boost of his legendary status, he still has a fighting chance most of the time.

If all else fails, he can release the dogs.

Liu Zheng tentatively took a few steps forward, and there was no obstruction, as if there had always been a fork in the road here.

So he continued forward until the ghostly hand stopped him.

It pulled Liu Zheng down to a squatting position, then dragged his tentacles forward to explore.

The cold, hard, and smooth texture made Liu Zheng feel around for a while before he was certain.

This is a skeleton.

Judging from its shape, it should be human remains.

As for whether it was a man or a woman, he didn't have the ability to tell.

Why is there a skeleton in the secret passage of the food delivery lane?

Whose skeleton is this? And why did the ghost hand bring him here?

A series of questions flooded Liu Zheng's mind.

Just as he was pondering, the ghostly hand pushed him around again and then lifted his tentacles.

Is this to make him carry the skeleton on his back?

Liu Zheng tentatively lifted the skeleton onto his back; its weight exceeded his expectations, at least three or four hundred pounds.

Moreover, there seems to be some force connecting the bones, preventing them from falling apart.

Sure enough, he guessed right.

As soon as Liu Zheng picked up the skeleton, the ghostly hand pulled him up and pushed him forward.

When they reached the exit of the passage, facing the absolute dividing line between light and darkness, the Ghost Hand stopped.

The ghost hand lingered on Liu Zheng's shoulder for a long time.

It's kind of funny, but he thought he could hear it breathing.

A hand that can breathe?

It's not hard to understand why it wouldn't remember that it had grown a mouth and eaten the wine bottle before.

Breathing through the mouth is still breathing.

I wonder if Ghost Hand snores when he sleeps.

Finally, the ghost hand jumped off the shoulder and returned to the darkness.

Liu Zheng squinted and carried the skeleton toward the light.

Once he was out of the passage, he put the skeleton down.

Compared to its weight, the skeleton was actually quite small, probably only about 1.7 meters tall when it was alive.

There were no scars on the bones, but a right hand was missing, and the break was extremely smooth, as if it were a congenital deformity.

For some reason, Liu Zheng thought of the Ghost Hand.

Is it the left hand or the right hand?

The item description did not appear, so he could not find out the origin of the skeleton through the system.

Ghost Hand didn't tell Liu Zheng what to do with it.

However, he probably had some guesses as well.

As for the skeleton, judging from its appearance, it has no intention of coming back to life, so it is natural for it to be laid to rest.

So here's the question: where is the most likely place to bury someone?

Liu Zheng carried the skeleton on his back and ran wildly all the way to the street with the plane trees.

This time it didn't cause any trouble; it stayed quietly, not even showing its face, just like a real tree.

Good morning, Mr. Tree.

Liu Zhengzhong greeted him with great enthusiasm.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The face of the plane tree emerged and burst into a scream.

"What's wrong with you so early in the morning?"
