Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

“A witch named Yulaba made it using her son’s spine and the vengeful spirit of the victim on the 11th floor. She should be called Barbara in this company.”

Liu Zheng replied.

“Barbara, I know her, she’s a very shrewd woman.”

Shui Sishi nodded.

"My Zerg form isn't good at fighting, and I used all my power to make slime in order to trap them, so my performance just now was so terrible. I hope you can forgive me."

It did try to defend itself.

"I understand, I understand. Everyone has their strengths. For example, I rely on various items to fight. I can't even beat a chicken with my own abilities."

"Ah."

Liu Zheng's high emotional intelligence made its expression more natural.

"Let me introduce myself again. I am Shui Sishisan, an undercover agent sent by the company."

Water Forty-Three actively extended its forelimbs.

"I'm Liu Zheng, a deliveryman for Bloody Restaurant. I'm doing some part-time work for your company."

Liu Zheng shook hands with it.

"So what do we do now? Should I sign for the takeout first, or wait until you finish what the company asked us to do?"

Water asks forty-three questions.

"Let's talk about it after we complete the task."

Liu Zheng said.

It's not just for the legendary vest bonus; Shui Sishisan's familiarity with the 11th floor is definitely superior to that of the woman. Bringing the woman is not as good as bringing it.

"Alright, I'll take you to the insect hive now. Where are they?"

Shui Sishisan pointed to the waiters.

Is this place far from the insect hive?

"Not far."

Shui Shisan replied.

“Then take them back to where we just met, dig a hole and bury yourself, and wait for me to come find you.”

Liu Zheng said to the woman.

The woman gripped the bone cane tightly and nodded silently.

"Let's go."

He followed Shui Sishisan toward the insect nest.

"By the way, what kind of insect is the prototype for your form?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"It's an aphid."

Shui Shisan replied.

"No wonder it looks so familiar."

He suddenly said.

In his hometown, there were many locust trees, which are prone to aphids.

In spring, a lot of sticky black oil appears under the locust trees. This is honeydew secreted by aphids. It is transparent at first, but it oxidizes and turns black after being exposed to air for a long time.

When Liu Zheng was a child, he loved to walk on it in plastic slippers, making a squeaking sound with every step.

"I don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky, but the chairman came over unexpectedly today."

Shui Sishisan said.

"Oh? Well, that's just good luck."

He raised his eyebrows.

That's five million! Once he gets it, he can pay off his debt to the "Sayou" trading company, and he probably won't be short of money again.

"But he brought bodyguards."

Shui Shisan shook his head.

"Bodyguards hired from the black market."

Chapter 522 When gathered, they are a blazing fire; when scattered, they are stars scattered across the ground.

Are black market bodyguards really that powerful?

Liu Zheng asked.

"At least you're much better than you look."

Water Forty-Three speaks the truth.

"Tch, that's because I didn't use my full strength. If I used all my tricks, hmph."

What would happen if we used them all?

Shui Sisan asked cooperatively.

"Sigh, it's not much different from now."

He couldn't help but sigh as he recalled that he had almost used up all his trump cards.

The loot they got was all a bunch of pretty but useless stuff. If they hadn't gotten two skills from 8848, they would have lost a fortune.

Sure enough, you have to fight the rich. Fighting the poor and the crazy means you'll suffer a huge loss if you lose, and you won't make any money even if you win.

"To maintain this sense of humor at a time like this, it seems you are very confident in yourself."

Shui Sishisan said.

"It's not so much confidence, it's just that after escaping death so many times, you become numb. It's like sex; if you have sex with the same person a dozen or twenty times a day, even if the other person is a succubus, you eventually lose all feeling."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"You've also slept with a succubus?"

Water Forty-Three was filled with awe and reverence.

Succubi are considered top-tier in the sex industry, not something the average person can afford to patronize.

"Ahem, this is just a simple metaphor in my life."

He said, slightly embarrassed.

"You're quite interesting. If I survive, maybe we can be friends."

Water Forty-Three's tentacles trembled slightly.

"Speaking of which, why did you agree to come here as an undercover agent? You've become a manager here; shouldn't you have had a better career at your original company?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"The company helped me boost my performance and eliminated my competitors, which is why I became this manager."

Water flows forty-three times.

"Didn't you ever think about making the best of a mistake?"

"I've been poisoned and I need to meet with the company every week to get the antidote, otherwise I'll die in extreme pain."

"Moreover, my family is also under the company's control. If I betray them, they will die with me."

Shui Sishisan said.

"What terms did the company offer you?"

"If I go back alive, I'll be given a deputy director position, plus 100 million yuan in cash and a house in a good school district."

"If I die, give my family 50 yuan in cash. My children can all work for the company in the future, and at least one of them can become a manager."

Water flows forty-three times.

"How come the reward for dying is less than the reward for living?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"Because if I go back alive, it means my mission was a success, and this company was brought down."

Water Forty-Three explained.

"Like now, you can't blow up all the company's executives; there will always be one or two who escape. Although they will certainly be thrown into chaos, and the company will kick them while they're down, there is always the risk of not killing them completely."

"I see, I understand. So, do you think your company will honor these empty promises?"

he asked.

"I don't know, but I have no choice."

Shui Sishisan's eyes were full of helplessness.

“My university tuition was sponsored by the company. According to the contract, I am obligated to work for the company for ten years. If I resign or am dismissed by the company for a legitimate reason during that period, I will have to pay the company a huge fine, which is no different from being dead.”

Disobeying work arrangements is a perfectly legitimate reason.

What? You're saying that infiltrating a rival company isn't a reasonable work arrangement?

Please, this is the Metropolitan City.

"No wonder they said you were a suicide squad member. Alright, then good luck."

In this situation where Zhou Yu was beating Huang Gai, Liu Zheng couldn't really say anything.

Where there is light, there is darkness. He was just an ordinary man, and he could only do his best to illuminate the darkness before him. He was truly powerless to help those gray areas.

To put it bluntly, many of the things Liu Zheng himself did were not exactly aboveboard.

"What, you still want to help me?"

Shui Sishisan understood the unspoken meaning in his words.

"You did help me get rid of those bugs, so I'll lend a hand if I can. Of course, if it's too much trouble, then forget it."

"You are really direct."

After saying this, Shui Sishisan fell silent, and only spoke again after walking another ten meters or so.

"If I die, can you help me ensure the company fulfills its promises and protect my family? I can give you half of the 50 reward."

it asked.

Have you told your family where you are?

Liu Zheng asked.

"No, the company put them in a secret location. I can only video chat with them every day and meet them once a week."

Shui Sishisan shook his head.

"I can't guarantee that, I can only do my best."

He thought for a moment and then said.

Asking for money is easy; he was going to ask the company for a bonus anyway, so it's a convenient way to get something for nothing.

But protecting family members is a bit more complicated.

If Shui Sishisan knew the location of its family, Liu Zheng could launch a surprise attack, rescue them, and everything else would be much easier.

But if he wants to find someone, not to mention whether he has the ability, he simply doesn't have the time.

"That's enough."

Shui Sisan nodded.

The fact that a company is willing to swallow its pride and hire someone who wiped out almost half of its own management team shows that this person is outstanding in both ability and reputation.

They traveled in silence and soon arrived near the insect hive.

Like the 11th floor of the Xihe Center, the insect nest here is also composed of a large area of ​​fungal carpet and an insect tower.
