Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Okay, I got it. Thank you, old man."

Liu Zheng offered a reluctant thank you.

Even a rabbit would be driven to starvation by not wanting to sign for takeout, let alone the fact that people in the metropolis are already abnormal.

However, it can't be said that it's completely useless; at least it can help him increase his vigilance.

"Young man, don't be blindly confident and ignore the advice of your elders, or you'll suffer the consequences. Fine, since you're still considered filial, Grandpa will give you a hand."

"Hey~tui!"

The old man took a deep breath and then spat a mouthful of phlegm into the teacup.

"Ah~"

Liu Zheng showed a disgusted expression.

"You're talking nonsense. This is the essence of my soul power. I wouldn't have spat it out if you weren't my grandson."

The old man gave him a look that said, "You little brat, you're biting the hand that feeds you, you don't appreciate kindness."

"I haven't agreed yet."

"Then pretend I didn't say anything."

The old man made a gesture as if to drink it back.

"No way, you've already thrown up, how can you suck it back up? Just consider it an advance payment."

Liu Zheng stopped him.

"So how do you use this?"

"Hehehe, come here, Grandpa will tell you."

The old man whispered something to himself.

"Goodness, it's a miracle you're still alive."

Liu Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth and said.

"No way, I only used this move after I was dead. Hehehe."

The old man's smile was sly.

"Your behavior is just like my boss's biological son."

he commented.

After leaving Building 15, Liu headed straight for Building 17.

"Fortunately, there's still some time."

Arriving at the door of 501, he glanced at the time; there were still fifteen minutes left.

"Boom boom boom!"

Liu Zheng raised his tentacle and knocked on the door with a light but firm touch.

Unsurprisingly, there was no response.

He decided to be polite first, but since the other party was pretending to be dead, he wouldn't be so lenient.

"Thump thump thump thump thump!!!"

He swung his tentacle, lashing the iron gate in front of him like a violent storm.

The sound, like the resounding war drums, echoed through the corridor, causing the old dust on the ceiling to fall down.

"Bah bah bah!"

As Liu Zheng spat out ash, he quickened the pace of the drumbeats.

"Who is it? Are you crazy?!"

Finally, an angry voice came from inside the door.

"Hello, this is the delivery person. Please sign for this."

He stopped pulling the door open.

"Leave it at the door, then get lost."

The person inside the door said impatiently.

"Excuse me, the delivery must be signed for by the recipient. Please open the door and take it."

Liu Zheng, of course, would not listen to him.

"I'm busy. Are you going to beat me up or not? If you don't leave, I'm calling the police!"

The people inside the door grew increasingly agitated.

"Uh"

For some reason, this conversation gave Liu Zheng a sense of déjà vu.

"Calling the police won't do any good. This is a legitimate action. Besides, I have people in the Public Security Bureau. When they come, it's hard to say who they'll arrest."

He replied loudly.

"Then go die."

Before he could finish speaking, the door was flung open.

Countless dark figures attacked Liu Zheng like a barrage of arrows.

"Bar!"

The person hidden in the shadows said viciously.

"grass!"

Although Liu Zheng was prepared, the opponent's offensive was too fierce, and he could only defend passively.

After a series of loud cracking sounds, he was sent flying several meters away.

Liu Zheng struggled to get up, feeling stinging and dull pain all over his body, not knowing how many bones he had broken.

But that's all. Given his physique and recovery speed, it was just a superficial injury.

The shadow disappeared, and the person inside the door finally revealed themselves.

It was a tentacle monster wearing a pink vest, with a head that looked like both an octopus and a jellyfish, and six tentacles that emerged from the openings on both sides of its vest, pointing vertically downwards.

"Damn it, why does it have six more than me?"

Liu Zheng thought with some dissatisfaction.

"Now you know how tough it is. Get out of my sight right now. If you bother me again, I'll beat you to death even if I don't finish my manuscript."

The tentacle monster was about to close the door after it finished speaking.

"Wait a moment!"

he shouted.

"I'll wait for your grandma to have eight legs!"

The tentacle monster grumbled and cursed, showing no intention of waiting.

"If you dare close the door, I'll throw this on your door."

Liu Zheng took out the cup of strong phlegm tea.

"WTF?"

The tentacle monster paused for a moment.

"If the phlegm of that earthbound spirit in apartment 304 of building 15 is splashed on your door, it will sing as if it were singing in your own home as if it were in your home, and the effect of it appearing in your dreams will be doubled."

he introduced.

"Damn it! That idiot old man, why doesn't he just die?!"

All six tentacles of the tentacle monster hardened.

"To be precise, he is dead."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Then die again! Damn it, I should have killed him when he crawled into my dream."

The tentacle monster was filled with regret.

"Stop bragging. If it were up to you to kill him, it wouldn't be your turn."

He exposed the other party's lies without any mercy.

"If I can't kill him, I'll kill you."

The tentacle monster had a hostile look in its eyes, and raised its six tentacles again.

"Come!"

Liu Zheng twisted his neck and took out a serrated butcher knife and a boning knife.

"If you've got the guts, kill me today. If you don't, I'll pour a cup of phlegm on your door every day and see if you beat me to death first, or if he sings me to death first!"

He spoke with an air of righteous indignation.

Chapter 485 You're becoming an apprentice, not getting married.

"What's your relationship with that old bastard?"

The tentacle monster cried out in despair.

“I want to recognize him as my father, and he wants to recognize me as his grandson.”

Liu Zheng said.

"Are you crazy? He's a nobody, what good would it do you to acknowledge him as your father?"

The tentacle monster didn't understand.

"Who said there isn't? Isn't this a benefit? Stop talking nonsense, are you going to accept this delivery or not?"

Although there is still enough time, he cannot continue in this stalemate indefinitely.

"I won't accept it. Go ahead and throw it if you dare. I'll just bring in a mind flayer and see who disgusts whom!"

The tentacle monster said fiercely.

Mind Flayer, also known as a Mind Flayer, is a creature with tentacles growing from its mouth, and it bears a striking resemblance to the tentacle monster in front of us.

We'll discuss the specifics when we encounter them later, but in any case, they are a race that is very adept at using mental powers.

Liu Zheng didn't know anything about this race, but he was satisfied as long as he knew it was their reliance.

Do you know what a cemetery is?

He said suddenly.

"Nonsense, who in the metropolis doesn't know about cemeteries?"

“I have a good relationship with the cemetery caretaker. Last time, I even got an item from him that can enhance the wisdom of the dead and cured one of the deceased’s mental impairment.”

"Guess if I can get some treasure from him to enhance the power of earthbound spirits?"

Liu Zheng said calmly.

"Gravekeeper"

The tentacle monster looked wary upon hearing the name.

No living being is unafraid of death, especially when they are still under the control of the other party after they die.

"I don't believe you would be willing to give something so precious to that old bastard."

The tentacle monster stubbornly insisted.

“It may be very precious to you, but it’s nothing special to me. I’ve given away many more valuable items.”

"If this isn't enough, I have another treasure. If an undead eats it, it will guarantee a significant increase in strength."

"Although I haven't gotten my hands on it yet, the first thing I'll use it against you once I do."
