Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Sparks glowing red fell from the ashes covering their bodies, burning up rapidly before hitting the ground.

Although it was impossible to tell what she looked like, what her gender was, or even what her race was before she was born, Liu Zheng could still sense that the ghost standing at the front was the woman.

At this moment, Neil, who had been missing for a long time, reappeared and climbed up to the woman.

The woman bent down and picked him up, and soon Neil was also stained black by the ash on her body.

"What are you going to do?"

Liu Zheng asked in a deep voice.

He wasn't naive enough to think that stabbing himself would earn him the forgiveness of these ghosts, after all, ghosts were inherently obsessive and irrational beings.

The woman didn't answer, but simply took a step forward.

All the ghosts behind her took a step forward and then merged into the woman's body, making her blackness even deeper and her sparks even hotter.

The woman continued walking forward, but her figure grew smaller and smaller. By the time she reached Liu Zheng, she was nothing but a single ember, which drifted onto the insect-killing voodoo dagger.

Liu Zheng felt a burning sensation when he touched the blade, and a charred patch appeared on the white bone blade.

"This is."

He opened the item description and found that the panel of the insecticidal voodoo dagger had changed.

Name: Insect-Killing Voodoo Dagger (Upgrading)

Type: Equipment

Quality: Excellent

"Effect 1: Deals 200% damage to 'Zerg'. After killing a 'Zerg', the damage is increased by 10%, up to a maximum of 1000%. If no 'Zerg' is killed within five minutes, the damage increase effect is reset to zero."

"Effect 2: Once equipped, this item cannot be removed until the 'Zerg' is killed, and it reduces all of the player's attributes by 1 point per minute."

"Effect 3: After killing enough Zerglings, the Insect-Killing Voodoo Dagger will be upgraded to Perfect quality. Current progress: 10%."

Note: Insecticide! Insecticide! Insecticide!

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Good guy."

He blew up the entire 11th floor and killed the chairman, but the progress bar only increased by 10%. Does that mean he has to blow up nine more 11th floors?

Thinking about the expression on Peacock's face after he found out that 11 office buildings had been bombed, Liu Zheng felt a chill run down his spine.

Even the city hall would probably have a hard time protecting him.

Forget it, perfect gear is valuable, but staying alive is more precious.

As for the fact that the second effect changed from reducing mental attributes to reducing all attributes, that's irrelevant, since he wouldn't use it when he wasn't killing insects anyway.

Thinking this, Liu Zheng put the insect-killing dagger into his system space.

Anyway, he also discovered that the Zerg were generally not very strong.

When Liu Zheng only had a legendary avatar to rely on, these bugs could still threaten him. Now, unless they come in swarms, they're just there to help him level up.

As he stepped into the elevator, unexpectedly yet predictably, he was greeted by the same 16-year-old elevator operator who didn't know how to put on makeup.

"Surprise?"

The elevator operator, clutching his wound and blinking his tear-blurred eyes, asked a question, his face streaked with wrinkles from the scalpel wash.

"This is such a fucking surprise!"

Liu Zheng looked shocked.

"Hmph, your acting is so exaggerated."

The elevator operator pouted.

"You don't understand, this is called a beastly performance."

"Aren't sheep domestic animals? How come they're considered wild animals?"

The elevator operator deliberately retorted.

"First, I am a goat, a wild one. Second, I eat meat. Therefore, I am equivalent to a wild beast, and the conclusion is valid."

He said seriously.

"You're just talking nonsense. Let's see who falls for your lies."

The elevator operator made a face at him.

Combined with her already completely unrecognizable makeup, it did have a certain startling effect.

"Liu Zheng is just making things up; those who are willing will take the bait."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

After exchanging a few more words, the elevator arrived at the first floor.

“If anyone gives you a hard time, just expose me. Then tell them that threatening me with you won’t work, but if they take their anger out on you, I guarantee I’ll blow their company up until it goes bankrupt.”

He gave instructions to the elevator operator.

"Okay, fine. Is that all you're going to do to me?"

"That's what the elevator operator said."

"Just say what you want, as long as it's within my capabilities."

Liu Zheng said gently.

"You can definitely do it. Because all I want is a kiss. You won't think I'm ugly now, will you?"

The elevator operator asked doubtfully.

"Of course not. Then close your eyes."

He smiled.

"Don't you dare run away while I've closed my eyes, okay?"

"The elevator operator said warily."

"Of course not, I, Liu Zheng, have never been the kind of person to desert in the face of battle."

He said it with a sincere expression.

"But you look like a jerk."

The elevator operator muttered something, then tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and looked on with anticipation.

"Are you ready?"

As Liu Zheng asked the question, he silently extended his tentacle and poked at the door opening button.

"Ok!"

The elevator operator said excitedly.

"coming!"

He lightly kissed the elevator operator on the forehead, then darted out of the elevator, pressing the close button before leaving.

"Liu Zheng, you big scumbag!"

The elevator doors closed, shutting out the elevator operator's calls as well.

"My dad already knows about this? Ugh, this is really frustrating."

He shook his head with feigned disappointment and walked towards the hall.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, a riot baton came crashing down on my head.

Liu Zheng raised his rusty knife to block the blow, and upon closer inspection, he realized that the attacker was actually the old security guard.

"you wanna die?"

His eyes turned cold.

"You stinking delivery guy, don't be so arrogant. Don't think I don't know what you've done. Just you wait, the alarm system will be activated in a few minutes. When that happens, everyone will swarm you, and no matter how capable you are, you won't be able to escape."

"Don't even think about knocking me down and escaping. Don't let my injured right leg fool you; when I fight, ten young men wouldn't be able to get close to me."

The old security guard said with righteous indignation.

"I'm not saying this to be mean, but your acting is even more exaggerated than mine."

While complaining, Liu Zheng lashed the old security guard's right leg with his whip.

"what!"

The old security guard screamed and fell to the ground, his whole body convulsing in pain, like a pig being electrocuted.

"Young man, are you serious?"

He complained in a low voice.

“It wouldn’t be real if you didn’t come. Your leg needs to be treated too. Go to the ‘Imhotem’ clinic, and I’ll put the consultation fee on my tab.”

Liu Zheng said.

"My brother is righteous. Ah! I am dead."

The old security guard fainted from the pain.

"I feel that opening an acting training class for working people would be a good business opportunity."

He curled his lip, stepped over the old security guard's body, and even rubbed the sole of his shoe against him.

"puff!"

The old security guard coughed up blood while unconscious, unsure if he had bitten his tongue.

Stepping out of the Bright Center, Liu Zheng immediately felt the vastness of the world and the refreshing air; the gunpowder smell in his nose had completely dissipated.

This is not a psychological effect. Under the authoritarian rule of the city hall, even a department like the sanitation department has strong enforcement and coercive power.

At least in the new urban area, the city's appearance is so good that it's easy to call itself a civilized city, and it's no less impressive than the civilized societies imagined in magazines like "Reader" and "Yilin".

"Hey?"

He got through to Wang Manni on the phone.

Now that he had the legendary deliveryman's after-sales cigarette in hand, he didn't need to rush back to the restaurant.

"Delivery driver, are you done frying?"

Wang Manni asked in surprise.

"Once the mission is complete, everything's over. You've ruined my reputation."

Liu Zheng said with dissatisfaction.

"Hehe. Then I'll report to the company right away, and the company will find a way to confirm your results."

Wang Manni said.

"Don't rush. Is that undercover agent named Shui Sishisan's family in the company's hands?"

he asked.

"I don't know about that, but given the company's operating style, they will definitely control the family members of undercover agents."

Wang Manni said this without any hesitation.

“Okay, tell the company that his parents, girlfriend, and daughter—all four of them—must be included. If even a single hair is missing, I’ll kill a manager in the company; if even one person is missing, I’ll blow up the entire company building.”

"No matter where the green culture moves, even if you move it into the city hall building, you can't escape it, I'm telling you."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay, I'll tell the company right away."

Wang Manni hung up the phone without hesitation.

If they waited any longer, the company might have silenced them.

"it is good."

He nodded and ran towards the restaurant.

Before I even got to the restaurant, Wang Manni called.
