Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"If it were anyone else, I would have given it to them, but the gravedigger wants it."

The Nile doctor hesitated.

Cemeteries are essentially a collection of concepts such as death, desolation, and decay in metropolitan areas. Laszlo is already in a bad state, and if he gets involved with cemeteries, it's hard to say what kind of chain reaction it might trigger.

"How about we ask Ra first? If He doesn't agree, then forget it."

Liu Zheng suggested.

"Well, that's the only way."

The Nile doctor nodded and opened the sarcophagus containing the Eye of Ra.

This was a very important matter, and it was nighttime, so he had no choice but to walk entirely into the stone coffin.

Before the coffin lid was even closed, the bandages on his body were already on fire.

"He'll be running around naked when he comes out later. It's a good thing Sesha isn't here, otherwise seeing her dad like this, tsk tsk tsk."

The cattle and horses said gleefully.

"Hey bro, how dare you laugh at a doctor?"

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

The uniform that the cow and horse were wearing was far too suggestive to call a lingerie outfit; it was more like a vest. How dare they say that Doctor Nile was running around naked?

"So what? Did I scare you?"

The oxen and horses deliberately raised their hindquarters to make the bullwhip more conspicuous.

"Okay, never mind."

Even Liu Zheng, with his vast experience and knowledge, was speechless at its shamelessness.

"Hmph, I suppose you wouldn't dare say anything."

The oxen and horses proudly raised their heads, walked to their own special haystacks, and lay down.

It took a full half hour for the Nile doctor to emerge from the stone coffin.

"Um, doctor, are you alright?"

Liu Zheng asked cautiously.

The Nile doctor in front of me was no longer a mummy; he was a charred corpse.

"What do you say?"

"Dr. Nile said irritably, spitting out a cloud of black ash and black smoke coming out of his nostrils."

I think everything should be fine.

He said seriously.

"Hehe, you'll see when I let you go in and burn some later."

The Nile doctor sneered.

"Isn't that unnecessary? Actually, I'm allergic to sunlight."

Liu Zheng said, his eyes gleaming.

If even the priest of the Nile River was roasted like this, wouldn't he become a whole roasted lamb if he went in?

"You don't want Yang Yan anymore?"

"Yes I do."

"Then you'll have to go in and get it yourself."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Sigh, fine, if I don't go to hell, who will?"

He walked toward the stone coffin with his eyes closed, looking as if he were about to die a heroic death.

"Wait a minute, you're not trying to get something for nothing, are you?"

The Nile doctor stopped him.

"Oh, what will you offer in exchange? Let me make it clear first, I have no goods, and I don't have much money either."

Liu Zheng started acting like a scoundrel.

"Don't I know whether you have it or not? If you want fire, then trade it for fire."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Oh, I only have so little, it probably won't be enough to replace, right?"

There was only a small flame to begin with; if you spread it out further, it will become a spark.

"how much do you have?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

That's all.

He took out his pipe and released the flame inside.

As soon as the golden flame appeared, Doctor Nile jumped back a great distance.

"What a domineering flame."

He wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, only to wipe off a pile of black ash.

Extremely high temperatures and corrosive power bring absolute destruction, burning everything to ashes.

If it had been this kind of flame that burned him, even a tiny bit of it would have completely incinerated him by now.

"Where did this fire come from?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

"can not say."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Okay, if it's this kind of flame, then half will be enough."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Then I need to ask for permission, sir?"

He gestured with his chin toward the cattle and horses.

"so troublesome."

Niu Ma complained, but still followed him out of the clinic.

"Boss, I've found a second type of fire, but they're asking for half of the flame you gave me in exchange."

"After making the call, Liu Zheng said respectfully."

"Who?"

"Ra, the sun god."

he replied.

"Oh, give it to me."

Si Xue said calmly.

"Huh? Okay."

Liu Zheng was somewhat surprised.

"However, if you can't make that woman suffer, I'll roast you with an equal amount of fire for every penny you give away."

Si Xue hung up the phone.

"."

He returned the phone to the ox and horse, sighing silently.

"I've already told you to stay out of trouble. Just take on small jobs and then team up with me in the smuggling business, wouldn't that be better?"

The ox and horse offered their advice again.

Even if it takes on some work for the white-feathered chickens, although the consequences of failing to complete the task would be severe, at least it could protect its young.

It always takes on jobs for important figures like Si Xue, the tomb keeper, and the sewer workers. It's not about protecting its own; it's a calf itself.

"Sigh, if I don't take on big jobs like this, I won't get any of those small, menial jobs, boss."

Feeling the concern from the oxen and horses, Liu Zheng finally let out a sigh.

If it weren't for his ability to get help from those big shots who even the city hall could ignore, they wouldn't have treated him any differently.

The local forces like Bathhouse Street, Green Shade Culture, and Red Forest Culture wouldn't be so timid and hesitant towards him if it weren't for his connection to the city hall.

Ultimately, if it weren't for Liu Zheng's special status as a deliveryman for the Bloody Restaurant, he would have been arrested and publicly executed by the city government long ago.

Now that things have come to this point, he's in a bind.

He's already built a network of connections, and if he doesn't continue to expand it, he'll be trapped in it.

"Go in, boss."

Liu Zheng shook his head and returned to the clinic.

"How about it?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

"agreed."

He nodded.

"Okay, all you have to do is put the pipe on the stone coffin."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Row."

Liu Zheng did as instructed.

When the corn pipe touched the stone coffin, the flame split in two, with one half drifting into the gap in the coffin lid.

"That's enough. Once we enter the next phase, we'll hold out for as long as we can. The longer we hold out, the more flames my lord will bestow upon us."

The Nile doctor gave instructions.

For an ordinary person, they would exchange whatever amount they were offered.

However, the relationship between the two parties was extraordinary, so they were given the benefits that were usually reserved for ascetics.

"Won't I just die from holding on like this?"

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

If this costs you a life, then it's not worth it.

"No, it's mainly a mental toughening process. If your body can't take it anymore, they'll throw you out."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"That's fine."

He nodded.

"fast forward!"

The Nile doctor opened the coffin lid and shouted sternly.

Liu Zheng closed his eyes and rushed into the stone coffin.

As soon as he entered the stone coffin, he felt a wave of heat wash over him.

The heat wasn't the heat of being burned alive, but rather the heat of a desert scorching.

Liu Zheng felt as if all the moisture in his body was being forced out of his skin and then evaporated drop by drop.

"Water, I want to drink water."

A thirst that emanated from his very soul made him open his mouth, but what was poured into it was half-melted hot sand.
