Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"If it admits defeat willingly, I will mercifully spare its life."

The ox and horse said proudly.

"Crench."

It had barely finished speaking when the ghostly hand pushed aside the movable wooden plank and climbed in.

"What are you looking at? Your order is here."

Ignoring Liu Zheng's expression, the cattle and horses lay back down in their haystacks and began to snore with their eyes closed.

The ghost hand glanced at it inexplicably, then came to Liu Zheng's side.

Liu Zheng fed it a small dried fish with his tentacle, then picked up the takeout order from the ground.

"Dish: One Lava Strawberry Cake"

Address: Room 202, Building 6, Gongren New Town

Time limit: one hour.

"Hey bro, do you know about Workers' New City?"

As he took out the map to examine it, he casually asked a question.

"Ok?"

The cattle and horses, which had been pretending to be asleep, immediately opened their eyes.

Liu Zheng felt a gust of wind, and the oxen and horses were right in front of him.

Give me the takeout order.

"The ox and horse said."

"okay."

He is capable of everything.

The oxen and horses glanced at the takeout order with their hooves, their expressions shifting.

"I'll deliver this order."

It swallowed the takeout order and said.

"it is good."

Liu Zheng nodded.

Aren't you going to ask why?

"Why ask?"

He asked rhetorically.

"Aren't you humans very curious?"

"The ox and horse said."

"Even cattle and horses can be cunning and deceitful."

"Who are you pointing at, kid?"

The ox and horse glared at him.

"hey-hey."

"What if the tip for this order is really generous?"

"The ox and horse spoke again."

"Forget it, the last order with such a generous tip already turned me into something unrecognizable. Who knows what kind of monster I'll become if another order comes along."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

If it weren't for survival, who would willingly become a seaweed-headed tentacle monster?

The repeated regeneration of flesh and blood is also very painful, not only in terms of physical pain, but also in terms of mental torment.

If you don't look like a human, don't have a human body, and don't behave like a human, then no matter how unwilling you are to admit it, it's hard for you to deny that you are indeed not human.

"You really don't want to know?"

"It's not that I don't want to; everyone has curiosity, right? But you're my boss. You'll tell me what you want to say, and I won't pry into what you don't want to say."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Hmph, trying to play the 'retreat to advance' trick with me, is that it?"

"Boss, how come you're more cunning than a human? Alright, alright, hurry up and deliver the food, I can take another nap."

He gave the ox or the horse a push, but of course, the latter didn't budge.

It glared at Liu Zheng, then opened the door to the lounge, peeked inside, and closed the door only after confirming that no one was eavesdropping.

"Your sister-in-law lives in the Workers' New Town."

"The ox and horse said in a low voice."

"No wonder."

Liu Zheng suddenly realized.

"Then hurry up and go. The sooner you get there, the better you can go home and see your sister-in-law."

He said.

"You don't need to tell me. Apart from a few brothers who would risk their lives for you, you're the only one who knows about this. If the news leaks out, I'll kill you even if you escape to the border."

The ox and horse's eyes gleamed with ferocity.

"Aren't we brothers who've been through thick and thin together?"

Liu Zheng was not afraid; instead, he stared directly into its large, bell-like eyes.

"If you say no, I'll go to the hospital right now and erase all memories of this from my head."

"Uh, that's not what I meant."

The ox and horse's eyes flickered.

"That's fine then. You can go now, it's quite in the way of you standing here with such a big body."

He waved his hand, as if shooing away flies.

"Oh."

The ox and horse turned around blankly, only turning their heads sharply when they reached the door.

"I almost fell for your trick. Just wait, I'll deal with you when I get back."

It said viciously.

"Oh, I see. You may leave."

Liu Zheng said lazily.

"Hey, I have a short temper."

Just as Niu Ma was about to beat him up without a second thought, his phone rang.

"Hello, boss. Okay, I'll be right there."

It hung up the phone.

"The boss called all the department heads to a meeting."

"Then I'll deliver this order."

Liu Zheng didn't care about the Dao.

He's not so averse to delivering food anymore, as long as he doesn't deliver to big shots like Peacock or Mr. Liu, whom he has a grudge against.

"alright."

The ox and horse reluctantly spat out the takeout order.

"I'm leaving."

Liu Zheng put away the takeout order and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

The cattle and horses stared intently at him, as if trying to see into his flesh.

Liu Zheng stood still, calmly letting others observe.

"Building 8, Building 404."

A moment later, Niu Ma revealed an address.

"Okay. Should I buy something and go take a look?"

He asked naturally.

"Buy some fruit, it likes to eat fruit."

After hesitating for a moment, Niu Ma said.

"Okay. Is there a specific fruit shop you'd like to visit?"

"The busy worker at the entrance is quite good."

The cattle and horses returned.

"Will anyone actually buy fruit with a name like that?"

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"So what? Even if it's named Leisure Holiday, someone has to have it. Busy working hours are fine, just like its fruit, it's the real deal."

"The ox and horse said."

"Okay. Is there some kind of code or something?"

he asked.

"What's the secret code?"

The ox and horse countered with a question.

"You were so secretive before, so I thought it was true."

"Nonsense. I have indeed offended a lot of people, but it's not to the point where I need to turn into some kind of underground organization."

The ox and horse rolled their eyes.

"If it asks who you are, just say you're the one who gave me the Paradise Island vacation vouchers."

It added.

"Okay. Is there anything else you want to tell me? If not, I'll be going now."

"Well, if it needs anything, help it out if you can. I can go out, but I can't always come home."

Niu Ma said somewhat embarrassedly.

"clear."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"I'm warning you, kid, don't you dare lay a finger on my wife, or I'll kill you."

Suddenly, the ox and horse spoke in a fierce and menacing manner.

"Boss, you can question my character, but you can't question my sexual orientation."

He said with dissatisfaction.

"Heh, look at your harem, what race don't you have?"

The cattle and horses scoffed at his protest.

"But none of them are married women."

Liu Zheng found the loophole.

"Isn't that the cleaning staff?"
