Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

He took the "meat bone" out of the legendary takeout box.

"Take a look, what is this?"

"A meaty bone!"

The sphinx stood up immediately, its eyes shining brightly.

No living thing can resist the smell of "meat and bones," regardless of race or taste.

"Want to eat?"

Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"Human, don't think you can control me with this. I will not submit."

The Sphinx, suppressing the urge to drool, spoke firmly.

"I just asked if you wanted to eat. Why are you making such a fuss?"

He said, seemingly out of nowhere.

"Hmph, even if you don't say it, I know what you're thinking."

"I don't even know what I'm thinking. Just tell me if you want to eat it or not."

Liu Zheng said.

".think."

The Sphinx hesitated for a moment before reluctantly admitting it.

"Give."

He held the "meat bone" to its mouth.

"Really no conditions?"

The sphinx asked suspiciously.

"No. When did I ever ask for anything in return?"

"Then you should name your conditions. If you don't name your conditions, I'll almost lose my life. I'll feel more at ease if you name some conditions."

"The Sphinx said."

"No, no, not at all. By the way, this is just an appetizer; the main course is coming. But it's not ready yet. I'll bring it to you next time I come. Here, ah~"

Liu Zheng made a gesture of opening his mouth.

"Are you crazy, human? I'm not a child."

The sphinx opened its mouth as it cursed.

"Big cats are just like kids."

He put the meat bone into the Sphinx's mouth, tidied its mane, and then went into the clinic.

"You're getting more and more outrageous."

As soon as he entered, Dr. Nile spoke with an unfriendly expression.

He tolerated them borrowing his money, taking his belongings, using his clinic as a shelter, and exploiting him as cheap labor, but now they've even turned his clinic's bodyguards into this mess.

If he's already this unbridled before even becoming a son-in-law, what will he be like after marrying Sesha?

"I'm so sorry, this really happened so suddenly. I didn't even expect to make contact with the Sphinx's true form. And I brought it some 'flesh and bones,' so its strength should recover soon."

Liu Zheng quickly said.

"That's pretty much it."

The Nile doctor's expression softened slightly.

"What did you do this time that made the Sphinx so badly injured?"

After calming down, curiosity welled up in his heart.

It should be noted that Andorsphinus is considered a strong member of the Sphinx race, and could easily defeat him in his normal state. The fact that he almost died from his injuries this time is simply shocking.

"It's nothing much, just breaking through a divine power barrier, killing an evil god bishop, and slaughtering a divine demon."

Liu Zheng said it casually.

"A demonic creature of the gods! How is this possible? Are you sure you killed it and didn't just banish it?"

The Nile doctor was shocked.

As a priest of Ra, he knew more about the god's demons than cattle, horses, and white-feathered chickens.

The "god-like monsters" are not a race, but rather a general term for a type of creature, similar to Planeswalkers.

Their origins vary greatly, but they are often closely related to a certain deity, and only that deity can subdue them.

Other deities, no matter how high their rank, can only suppress or erase them, but cannot establish that kind of connection with them based on their origin.

For ordinary people, let alone suppressing or eradicating them, even repelling them would be an extremely difficult task.

Because any deity qualified to possess a divine demon would not be an unknown being, and would be a prominent figure among the gods recorded in the metropolis.

"I'm not so sure about that, but they were probably killed."

Liu Zheng briefly recounted what had happened.

"Just who are this Red Ghost and his soldiers?"

"The Nile doctor said with difficulty."

Even beings like gods and demons were powerless against them.

"I'm not really sure either. Just keep this to yourself, Doctor, and don't spread it around."

he warned.

"I see."

The Nile doctor nodded solemnly.

"Oh, by the way, this is the money I borrowed from you last time."

As Liu Zheng spoke, he was about to withdraw money from the system space.

"No need, I've made quite a bit of money from those prostitutes in the 'Pink Kingdom,' consider that as your commission."

The Nile doctor shook his head.

"Okay. How are they doing?"

he asked.

"It's not good. Many of them have hidden injuries and traces of being eroded by the energy or substances from the guests. These problems are difficult to treat with surgery or medicine alone. They need rest and nourishment, but they obviously don't have that."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Ah."

Liu Zheng nodded without saying anything.

He couldn't bring himself to say "this is their fate," but he also lacked the power to defy fate for them, so he could only remain silent.

"But thankfully, they ran into me."

The Nile doctor changed the subject.

"Huh? Doctor, do you have a solution?"

Liu Zheng exclaimed in delight.

“You forgot, my scarab can convert semi-solids into medicines, and these semi-solid medicines have their own nourishing effects, making them perfect for treating these hidden injuries and chronic diseases.”

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Where do we get so many semi-solids?"

he asked.

"You've eaten so much, you've forgotten where to get it now."

"The Nile doctor said, suppressing a laugh."

"Oh, I see, the sewers."

Liu said expressionlessly.

Well, he's definitely connected to sewers, especially the semi-solid components in them.

"Good to know. Hurry up and find the semi-solid medicine. Some of them can't hold on any longer. If they can't get their medicine soon, the semi-solid medicine will probably be available in the next few days."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

Actually, it's possible to treat it, but he doesn't run a clinic for charity. Giving those prostitutes a discount out of respect for Liu Zheng is already the limit.

"Wait, doctor, can't you go to the sewers too? Can't you do the semi-solid stuff yourself?"

Liu Zheng tried to struggle.

"You have the nerve to say that? You've nearly killed my security guards. If I go out again, who will watch over such a big clinic?"

"The Nile doctor stared wide-eyed."

"Okay, okay, I'll go."

Knowing he was in the wrong, he had no choice but to reluctantly accept this difficult task.

"Damn it, I need to get Niu Daji a license to freely enter and exit the sewers as soon as possible, and leave these kinds of things to it from now on."

Liu Zheng thought to himself.

Niu Daji, who was on his way to the destination, suddenly felt a chill.

"Then I'll be going now if there's nothing else."

Liu Zheng said.

"let's go."

The Nile doctor waved his hand as if shooing away flies.

"Alas, the world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are cold and indifferent."

As he left the clinic, he let out a mock sigh.

"So much nonsense."

The sphinx tied his tail around his waist and threw him into the car.

"Your way of getting on the bus is quite novel."

The driver looked at Liu Zheng, who had fallen headfirst into the passenger seat, and teased him.

"Ahem, you don't understand, Colonel. Getting into the car this way helps exercise your cervical spine and promotes blood circulation."

Liu Zheng said in a very serious tone.

"Really? Then you can get on the bus like this from now on. I can help you if it's inconvenient."

"Then forget it. Too much of a good thing is bad. Occasional exercise is fine. Let's go to the 'Die Well' funeral home."

He turned over and said.

The funeral home was a bit far from the clinic, but thanks to the sports car's excellent performance and the driver's superb driving skills, we arrived at our destination in just over ten minutes.

The "Die Easy" funeral home is not very big, and its decoration style is more like that of a suburban area.

But since the old man himself requested it, then it's fine whether it's good or bad.

"welcome."

As soon as Liu Zheng entered the funeral home, a round-faced, bald man came to greet him.

The bald man wore a slightly oversized suit, black-rimmed glasses, and a small mustache. He had a fake, mercenary smile on his face, and his small eyes were full of scrutiny and calculation.

"I need to hold a funeral."

Liu Zheng got straight to the point.

"Of course, those who come here are people who need to hold funerals. Those who need to have their funerals held should go to the black market."

The bald man was joking.
