Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

The bells rang again through the gray fog.

"Alright, you two really should go now."

With a gentle push from the black cat, an invisible force propelled them into the bronze door.

By the time Liu Zheng realized what was happening, they had already arrived at the entrance of the Imperial View Villa.

"Since you're already here, won't you have a cup of tea before you leave?"

Just as Liu Zheng was about to leave the residential area, a clear, cold voice suddenly came from the horizon.

Without a second thought, he took out the tortoise shell and charged forward with all his might.

"Can you run?"

Accompanied by a sneer, a powerful suction force pulled him in and dragged him backward.

Liu Zheng turned around and saw only dazzling lights in five colors: blue, yellow, red, black, and white.

Seeing that he was looking over, the five-colored light shone even brighter.

Liu Zheng felt a wave of dizziness and his body involuntarily slammed into the five-colored light.

"Peacock, have you forgotten your promise to the city hall?"

He shouted the question.

"I can afford to treat you to a cup of tea."

The peacock seemed to be giving an irrelevant answer.

"If you believe that, you're a fool."

Liu Zheng sneered.

Once inside Imperial View Villa No. 1, Peacock has a million ways to rightfully kill him.

"Being a turtle spirit is better than being a tortoise."

He gritted his teeth and was about to use the tortoise shell.

"Meow!"

Just then, the calico cat on top of my head suddenly let out a shriek.

"what happened?"

Liu Zheng asked hurriedly.

"Someone patted my head, meow."

The calico cat said, looking aggrieved.

"what?"

While he was still wondering, the calico cat had already thrown the hat away.

From the turned-up top hat, a withered, red-haired hand reached out.

"Ok?"

The peacock's tone changed slightly, and the five-colored light immediately subsided, resembling a sword, a feather, or five mountain peaks.

"Who are you, daring to presume to visit the Imperial View Villa? You're showing far too little respect for me, Peacock!"

Amidst the five-colored light, the figure of a woman in palace attire appeared and disappeared.

Red Hair remained silent, only moving his fingers as if he were groping or writing.

"If that's the case, then let's put on a show."

The peacock was not alarmed by the other party's rudeness, but rather delighted.

If Liu Zheng doesn't resist, then she really can't do anything. She can only take him to No. 1, Dijing Villa, without causing him any harm.

But now that there is an invasion from a foreign enemy, it is only natural that innocent bystanders would be affected by the fierce battle.

The peacock pointed, and five-colored light immediately poured down, as if Mount Buzhou had collapsed.

Before he even got close, Liu Zheng felt immense pressure. The blood vessels on his body surface burst like old high-pressure water pipes, and his bones creaked and groaned incessantly.

Just as he was hesitating about whether to use the turtle shell, a pair of hairy arms hugged him and then pulled him into an even hairier belly.

Liu Zheng looked up and met a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.

"Liu Zheng, I will protect your cat~"

The gigantic calico cat said confidently.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

He smiled and said that, then shifted to a more comfortable position.

"Okay meow~"

The calico cat curled itself into a ball, and except for the part that was in contact with Liu Zheng, the fur on the rest of its body stood up like a hedgehog.

Each cat hair, with its varying colors, was bent into a hook by the heavy pressure, just like a steel needle.

"Meow!"

The calico cat made uncomfortable meowing sounds.

"Salmon, are you alright?"

Liu Zheng asked with concern.

"It's okay, meow, salmon is really good, meow!"

The calico cat said earnestly.

"Yes, Salmon is the most amazing and cutest little cat in the entire metropolis."

He praised her sincerely.

"Of course, meow~"

The calico cat happily replied.

"By the way, isn't your adoptive mother a German Shepherd? Why do you still meow instead of barking?"

Liu Zheng's thoughts gradually drifted away.

"Because my grandma was an American Shorthair cat."

The calico cat replied.

"Uh, okay."

It's no wonder that a German Shepherd raised by an American Shorthair would adopt a calico dog.

Hmm, a German Shepherd that can meow is kind of cute.

Just as he was losing consciousness due to a brain hemorrhage, a mountain composed of five-colored light pressed down, and the ground centered on the red-haired giant hand sank several centimeters under the influence of this invisible force.

Even the top hat was pressed to the ground, and the movement of the red-handed man paused.

This seemed to have touched a nerve with the red-haired big hand.

"You audacious beast, how dare you disturb my enjoyment!"

A muffled, incoherent voice came from inside the hat.

As soon as the words were spoken, the sky shifted dramatically, and the once sunny sky turned into a canopy of dark clouds.

A blood moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the impenetrable moonlight dyed the clouds blood-red, making them appear even more terrifying.

"Oh it's you!"

Upon seeing this, the peacock exclaimed in surprise, and then without hesitation tore off her palace dress.

A colossal phantom of a peacock appeared between heaven and earth, its five tail feathers—blue, yellow, red, black, and white—standing tall against the wind.

With one swipe, the dark clouds in the sky vanished.

On my second viewing, the blood moon disappeared and the golden crow reappeared.

On the third viewing, the red-haired giant hand, along with everything around it, vanished without a trace.

"Humph!"

The peacock phantom disappeared, and the woman in palace attire glared in the direction of No. 188, Imperial View Villa, before transforming into a beam of light and disappearing into some unknown place.

"Liu Zheng, we're out, meow~"

The calico cat released Liu Zheng and returned to its original size.

He looked closely and realized he was already on the street.

"Goodness, the peacock is quite polite, seeing its guests off for such a long way."

Liu Zheng found joy even in hardship.

He looked down at the ground; the finely crafted top hat was now tattered and broken.

Liu Zheng cautiously extended his tentacle to touch it, and the top hat immediately disintegrated, sending countless fragments flying away in the wind.

"Was that the president of the Writers' Association just now?"

He secretly thought.

After all, Si Xue had said last time that the big shot might be "in his later years and covered in red hair," and that we should make preparations early.

The fact that this person could be persuaded to take action shows that the Fool's position in the Writers' Association is indeed as secure as Mount Tai.

"Well, it's hard to say."

Given the close relationship between the two sides, if a new president takes office, the Fool will inevitably become the target of suppression.

If a fool wants to avoid this situation, he should either climb the ranks as quickly as possible or postpone the current president's resignation.

Was the Nine Dragons Coffin arrangement he arranged for him intended to suppress the "ominous" presence emanating from the current chairman?

"Gan!"

How did he, a player who was just trying to survive, get caught up in this battle of gods, and get more and more involved, sinking deeper and deeper into the fray?

Liu Zheng sensed the deep malice that the Hell Game harbored towards him.

Just as he was pondering this, his phone rang.

Where were you taken?

"I asked the driver."

"I don't know, anyway, it was on the street."

he replied.

Are there any landmarks nearby?

"There is a white water tower with black stripes painted on it, like a zebra."

After looking around for a while, Liu Zheng said.

"Oh, I know where you are."

the driver said.

"Where?"

"Old town. Stay where you are and wait for me to come and get you."

The driver said calmly.

"Even the peacock couldn't kill you, it would be ridiculous for you to die at the hands of a bunch of thugs."

Chapter 493 Oh no, I can't see anything anymore.

"I'm told to stand still, but the problem is that others want to move me."

Liu Zheng put away his phone and complained.

Between the old houses and buildings around him, countless prying eyes irritated his sensitive and dry skin like a rough sweater.

However, perhaps because they were unsure of his methods, or perhaps because they were afraid of the calico cat beside him, those gazes were not too presumptuous.
