Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

But there are too many dirty and sad things in the metropolis, and sometimes he doesn't know where the minefield is.

After waiting in silence for a while, the ghost hand did not appear, but Niu Ma's cell phone rang instead.

"Hello boss. Okay, I'll turn on speakerphone right away."

Niu Ma answered the call and then turned on speakerphone.

"Go out and sort out the trouble you've caused. If you can't, you might as well buy yourself a burial plot."

Si Xue's cold voice rang out, and then she hung up the phone.

"what?"

Her abrupt and cryptic words left Liu Zheng somewhat bewildered.

He's caused a lot of trouble outside, who is this guy?

"What are you thinking about? Get the hell out of here."

The oxen and horses urged on.

"Hey bro, can I borrow your commemorative medal?"

Liu Zheng said cautiously.

"Take it and get out of here."

Niu Ma simply tossed the commemorative medal to him.

"So decisive? It's obvious you really want some peace and quiet."

Liu Zheng shrugged, left the lounge, and went outside the restaurant.

When he saw the brass bullets floating in the air and the skinny horse pacing listlessly, he immediately knew what trouble he was in.

"Your Excellency, has Chihaya's soul been found?"

Liu Zheng asked respectfully.

The skinny horse nodded, then shook its head.

"I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you meant."

He said it bluntly.

The skinny horse didn't answer, but simply raised one hoof and pointed to its back.

"Are you taking me back to the cemetery?"

he asked.

The skinny horse nodded.

"Then I'll just call a car and go myself. I feel really bad that you have to carry me."

Liu Zheng quickly replied.

The skinny horse rolled its eyes, suddenly grabbed his clothes in its mouth, and threw him onto its back.

"Please wait a moment, sir."

Seeing that the skinny horse was about to start moving, Liu Zheng quickly said.

The skinny horse obligingly put down its hooves and turned to look at him with its big eyes.

"I have a few urgent matters to attend to. If the tomb keeper asks me to rob a tomb, please put in a good word for me and postpone it a little."

Liu whispered in its ear, and a large wad of banknotes and dried fish slid into its satchel.

"唏伦~"

The skinny horse snorted, neither nodding nor shaking its head.

Its body leaned slightly backward, its front legs pushed off the ground with force, and its hind legs followed quickly. After a standard sprint, the man and the horse arrived in front of the cemetery archway.

"Please download my app."

Liu Zheng dismounted and clasped his hands in a salute.

"唏伦~"

To his surprise, the skinny horse also stood up and returned the greeting with its hooves.

"Haha, you are quite the spirited fellow."

Liu Zheng laughed heartily.

"By the way, do you drink?"

He remembered and asked.

The skinny horse nodded vigorously.

"Okay, I'll bring some back for you, Brother Ma, when I go to Dukang Winery."

Liu Zheng strikes the snake onto the stick path.

Upon hearing the words "Dukang Winery," the skinny horse's eyes widened even more than those of cattle and horses.

It stood up, grabbed Liu Zheng's shoulder, and turned him around.

It glanced furtively at the other side of the archway, then took an empty wine bottle out of its satchel.

The black bottle is inlaid with a golden old man wearing a helmet, while the rest of the bottle is covered with mysterious text.

"Looks familiar."

Liu Zheng took out "Hell Before My Eyes" and found that the words on the bottle were the same as the words on the sword sheath.

The auction house said the inscription was in runes, so the old man must be Odin, the chief god of the Norse pantheon.

"Brother Ma, do you want me to get you another bottle of the same wine?"

he asked tentatively.

"唏伦~"

The skinny horse nodded, then shook its head.

"Does Brother Ma mean you want to buy this bottle of wine, and also the other wines?"

Liu Zheng seemed to understand a little.

"Xilulu!"

The skinny horse nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, I promise to complete the task."

He readily agreed.

Liu Zheng realized that everyone in the metropolis was an alcoholic.

Since he rarely had the opportunity to buy alcohol on a business trip, he decided to buy a lot at once, hoping to make a fortune by reselling it.

"唏伦~"

The skinny horse pressed him to the spot and then walked into the archway himself.

A few minutes later, a hoof stretched out and beckoned to Liu Zheng.

He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

But since he was going to be killed no matter what, he resolutely stepped over the archway.

When Liu Zheng saw the skinny horse hanging in mid-air, he realized that something was wrong.

The horse's hooves are turned upside down.

The skinny horse exchanged a glance with him, then turned its head away somewhat awkwardly.

"Your Excellency the Tomb Keeper, what is this?"

"punish."

The gravedigger said expressionlessly.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have let Brother Ma speak up for me."

Liu Zheng confessed.

Of course, he didn't say anything about being willing to take the punishment for the skinny horse.

The punishment that the skinny horse could endure, he might not be able to.

"It was already incurring punishment for staying outside and not returning; it's just a matter of whether it's suspended for a week or a month."

"That's what the gravedigger said calmly."

"Oh, I see. Well, Brother Ma, you've worked hard. I'll come visit you when I have time."

Liu Zheng looked at the thin horse with a look of sympathy.

"Hissing sound???"

The skinny horse's eyes revealed a human-like shock and confusion.

Watching the interaction between the man and the horse, the gravedigger smiled silently.

"How's the fire collection going?"

he asked.

"We've already collected two types of flames, and we're currently collecting the third. Oh, and I also got this."

Liu Zheng demonstrated "the dumplings' way of repaying kindness".

The flame in the pipe should also be enhanced using the second effect of this item.

"Where's the pipe?"

"The tomb keeper asked."

"The pipe was taken to collect the fourth type of flame. By the way, the pipe has now been upgraded to an 'ultra-fire-resistant pipe'."

he replied.

"Yes. For someone with your abilities, your efficiency is indeed very high."

The tomb keeper pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"As long as you're satisfied."

Liu Zheng was humble.

"When do you want to postpone it?"

"The tomb keeper asked."

"Is the day after tomorrow alright, Your Excellency the Gravedigger?"

He asked cautiously.

"At least seven types of flames."

The gravedigger made a seven-sign gesture.

"no problem."

Including the "Seven Deadly Sins - Wrath", he has already collected five of the seven flames, so finding two more shouldn't be too difficult.

"Ah."

The gravedigger took an ivory pillow from the skinny horse's saddlebag.

The pillow itself is hollow, with each of its six sides carved with patterns related to the sun, moon, spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

"This is?"

"This is the person you've been looking for."

The gravedigger replied.

"what?"

Could it be that Chihaya was originally a pillow that came to life?

"No, the pillow is just a carrier, and also a medium."
