Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

“I have a friend who is also an elevator operator, but her uniform isn’t as nice as yours.”

"Which office building does she work in?"

Liu Zheng gave an irrelevant answer, but the elevator operator's tone carried a hint of emotion.

"In the center of Xihe, you know?"

"I know. Their uniforms aren't very nice; I've seen them in the work group chat."

The elevator operator acknowledged.

"Actually, if you look closely, your uniform is just average, not fitted at all. If it weren't for your good figure and good temperament, you would look like a hunchbacked penguin in it."

he complained.

"Haha, what penguin has a hunchback?"

The elevator operator couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, just put it on the mortgage, car loan, and household registration loan, and it'll be fine, including the cost of transporting it."

Liu Zheng said in a very serious tone.

"Haha, you're so annoying! My makeup is all ruined from laughing. It took me two hours to do it."

The elevator operator scolded playfully.

"With your natural features, you don't need it to take this long, right?"

he wondered.

"There's nothing I can do, I've only just started learning, and they're unwilling to teach me."

The elevator operator sounded a little aggrieved.

Liu Zheng then noticed that her voice sounded unusually young.

How old are you?

he asked.

"She's sixteen years old."

"Um, if I may ask, are you human?"

"Ugh, am I a ghost or something?"

The elevator operator was unhappy.

"The main thing is that at 16 years old, your figure and temperament are truly exceptional."

Liu Zheng's gaze lingered on the narrow valleys and precipitous peaks.

"Where are you looking? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out."

The elevator operator said gruffly.

"Wow, this is how you treat your customers. I might complain about you."

He withdrew his gaze and threatened.

"I'm not afraid at all. I know you're a deliveryman for Bloody Restaurant, and you're not welcome here at all. The fiercer I am to you, the happier the property management will be."

"That's what the elevator operator said smugly."

"Wow, you're still talking to me? Aren't you afraid of getting punished?"

“We elevator operators also have our own group chat. Jennifer told us about you and praised you to the skies. We didn’t believe it at first, but after seeing you today, we think you’re actually quite nice, it’s just that your way of striking up a conversation is a bit old-fashioned.”

The elevator operator chuckled.

"Really? I think it's quite creative."

Liu Zheng scratched his chin awkwardly.

"Hehe. By the way, did you know Jennifer quit her job?"

"I asked the elevator operator."

"Yes, I know. I've found her."

He nodded and briefly told her about his search for Jennifer.

"Really? You're not kidding me, are you?"

"The elevator operator asked suspiciously."

"With your intelligence, how could you not distinguish between truth and falsehood?"

Liu Zheng looked at her with a smile.

She had just laughed off the fancy flirting with the elevator operator, but now, facing Liu Zheng's calm gaze, her cheeks gradually flushed.

"Then let's assume you're telling the truth. But is it worth it for you to do all this for an elevator operator? You probably don't lack for women, do you?"

She used a question to cover up her shyness.

"In my eyes, the metropolis has only three identities."

Liu Zheng raised three tentacles.

"Which three?"

"Friends, strangers, enemies."

He said.

Which type am I?

"I asked the elevator operator."

"You are surrounded by passersby, but your friends have not arrived."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Tch, I thought you were going to call me a friend. You were so nice just now, why are you being so hurtful now?"

The elevator operator was unhappy again.

"I like to say nice things, but I also like to tell the truth. So now I'm sincerely asking you, would you like to tell me your name and be my friend?"

He bent down slightly and took the elevator operator's hand.

What are the benefits of being your friend?

The elevator operator wore a mature smile.

Chapter 519 What I hate most is someone who says one thing and means another.

"What benefit do you want?"

Liu Zheng countered with a question.

"How can I tell you this myself? Let me make it clear first, I don't want any money."

"The elevator operator chuckled."

"It's free."

He pondered as he looked at the elevator operator's face, which had been occupied for two hours.

"Then I'll find someone to teach you makeup."

he said suddenly.

"What a clever man, you figured it out right away. But who are you planning to ask to teach me? You're not going to do it yourself, are you?"

"I asked the elevator operator."

“I know a few friends who work at bathhouses. They’re all stunning beauties and experts at makeup. When you get off work, go to ‘Yakudo Sento’ and just tell them my name and they’ll serve you.”

"You probably aren't very happy working here, are you?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's alright. As for work, it's not really a matter of being happy or unhappy."

The elevator operator lowered his gaze and said calmly.

"You can relax there and also check out the work atmosphere and salary. If you're interested, I can recommend you for a job there."

"He tried to kidnap me the first time we met, what a bad man."

The elevator operator said with a half-smile.

"It's voluntary; if you don't want to, that's fine too."

He said.

"I didn't say I was unwilling. Let's go and see first."

"The elevator operator pouted."

"OK."

Liu Zheng looked at her with tolerance.

He's only 16 years old; in reality, he's still a child.

Of course, this only applies to girls; 16-year-old boys can be more destructive than many adult men.

"So, are you my friend now?"

he asked.

"I guess so. So what does it mean to be your friend?"

"I asked the elevator operator."

"Just like Jennifer did at West River Centre."

Liu Zheng said.

"I don't want to be like everyone else."

The elevator operator suddenly leaned closer as he spoke.

He tightened his grip on the knife, but didn't raise it, because he sensed that the other party didn't seem to intend to attack him.

Sure enough, the elevator operator grabbed his tentacle, kissed him on the face with lightning speed, and then let him go.

"She hasn't done this before, has she?"

"That's what the elevator operator said smugly."

"That's true."

Liu Zheng touched his face, and there was a patch of paint stuck to the tip of his tentacle, but the feel was similar to a normal kiss.

"Hehe, that means I won."

The elevator operator proudly looked up and then pressed the button for the 11th floor.

"That"

His gaze swept over the elevator operator, searching for a place to strike.

Now that the news from the West River center has already spread, he doesn't need to keep blaming the same place anymore; if he's going to pretend, he should at least act more professional.

"I know the rules. Come on, don't pity me just because I'm good-looking."

The elevator operator closed his eyes, looking dignified and indomitable.

But her clenched fists and trembling body betrayed the fear in her heart.

Even non-human races can feel pain, let alone her, who is still human, only mutated by the office building.

"Actually, it's not necessary to use the self-inflicted injury ruse; there are other methods."

Liu Zheng comforted him.

"Really?!"

The elevator operator opened his eyes in surprise.

"real."
