It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 447: Monks Are Hard to Kill

"That flower monk."

the driver said.

"Flower Monk? Oh, I see. He's the one who pretended to be dead."

Liu Zheng suddenly realized.

Once he was chopped, lotus flowers floated all over his body. It seems there is nothing wrong with him being called a flowery monk.

"So can he move?"

he asked.

"He didn't move. He just stared at me. He probably wanted to kill me with his eyes."

The driver teased.

"What? You dare to look at me, Colonel? I'll go out and give him a lesson right away."

Liu Zheng said angrily, then got out of the tank.

He twisted the butcher knife and walked step by step on the lava-filled ground to the front of the great monk.

The great monk was still sitting in the lotus position, but his face did not show any peace at all, but rather a ferocious look.

"This is really frustrating. You are not able to cultivate Buddhism to the fullest."

Liu Zheng taunted.

Monk Dade had thousands of clever ideas in his mind, but he couldn't speak except for chanting, and Liu Zheng couldn't receive electronic communications, so he had to hold them in his artificial vocal cords, which made him so angry that his CPU almost burned out.

"At that time, the saintly woman used various methods to persuade her mother to have the right view, but her mother did not fully believe. Soon she died, and her soul fell into the Avici Hell."

Although he was anxious in his heart, the "Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" in his mouth was not confused at all, showing his profound skills in chanting sutras.

"I don't know whether you will fall into the hell of endless suffering or not, but you are definitely going to die."

Liu Zheng raised the butcher knife, rubbed it on the tentacles twice, and aimed it at the neck of the monk Dade.

"Be careful in your next life and don't be a human trafficker."

"clang!"

He split Huashan with all his strength and chopped it on the petals of the green lotus.

"Clang clang clang!"

Liu Zheng didn't care at all and chopped down a few more times, splitting the blue lotus petals into spots of Buddha's light.

As he chopped, the monk Dade chanted sutras. The combination of the two sounds created an eerie sense of harmony.

"It's a bit like Mendelssohn's concerto."

The driver commented.

"I think it's more like Brahms in C minor."

Nightingale shook her head.

"Hmm? Yes, indeed."

The driver agreed after listening for a while.

Whether it's a concerto or a piece in C minor, the music always ends.

"At that time, all the Buddhas and Tathagatas from the ten directions, as well as great bodhisattvas, gods and dragons of the eight classes, heard Shakyamuni Buddha praising and extolling Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's great power and might, which was inconceivable and unprecedented."

"Are you almost done with your study?"

Although Liu Zheng had not read "The Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva", he still noticed something through his sensitivity to words.

"Unfortunately, I was one step faster."

He counterattacked with a tentacle, breaking the 1000th green lotus petal.

A shadow of a green lotus platform appeared under the monk Dade, and then it shook a few times and disappeared.

"At that time, Trayastrimsa Heaven."

Liu Zheng chopped off the monk's head with another knife. The bionic head, which was emitting sparks, fell to the ground and rolled several times, but the chanting did not stop.

"Awesome, it even has a backup power supply, right?"

He took a step forward to chase him, then swung his butcher knife and hacked at the monk's head until all the parts were chopped into pieces.

"Namo Great Vow Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva"

The chanting stopped abruptly.

"It's so hard to kill."

Liu Zheng sighed.

In terms of the number of times the monk Dade swung his sword, it was almost more than all the previous enemies combined.

"Namo the Great Vow Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva."

He was just about to clean up the battlefield when the sound of chanting suddenly came from the remains of the great monk.

"Fuck, he's not dead yet?"

Just as he was about to go up and finish off the enemy, he saw that the monk's QR code lit up. The light-emitting elements flickered unsteadily, giving people a very uneasy feeling.

Driven by instinct, Liu Zheng rolled over and landed in a bomb crater nearby.

"BOOM!"

He was lying in the bomb crater, feeling a gust of wind sweeping across his face, and the Buddha's light in the night sky, which had originally been silent, reappeared.

"If it's not the original body, then it's willful. It will explode if it doesn't agree with you."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Are they dead, Colonel?"

he asked loudly.

"Totally dead."

The driver replied.

"okay."

He climbed out of the crater, and there was another big hole where the monk Dade had been.

As for the great monk himself, naturally no trace of his body was left.

"I don't know whether this situation means he is dead or not."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

According to the descriptions in literary works in reality, this kind of electronic life should have data backup.

However, judging from the other party's behavior, the death of the prosthesis should not be a big deal, so just treat it as death.

After looking around, it seemed like there was nothing to clean up, as almost everything that could be picked up had been blown up.

After thinking for a moment, he swept the remnants of the old monk's golden body into the legendary takeout box.

At least it's something that could survive an air raid, so it should, probably, be of some use, right?
In real life, people use gold foil to make delicious food. These golden bodies should be more high-end than gold foil, right?

"By the way, the Public Security Department should have a phone number for the police, right?"

Back in the tank, Liu Zheng was thoughtful.

"Yes, I have."

Nightingale replied.

"Do you have any acquaintances in the Public Security Department?"

"There is one, but his position is not high. He is just a deputy section chief."

Nightingale thought for a moment and said.

"It's quite high. Well, you ate so many potatoes that I forgot you were a young lady."

It's a bit ironic that Silver Wolf worked so hard to become a deputy section chief, but in Nightingale's mouth he was just a nobody.

"It's quite big, do you want to touch it?"

Nightingale puffed out his chest.

"Forget it. I'm afraid you'll smear me in the face later."

Liu Zhengxu said with his eyes wide open.

"By the way, is the person you know reliable?"

"It's hard to say. We met while playing board games. We are just ordinary friends."

Nightingale shook her head.

"Then keep it as a backup. I'll make a phone call."

Liu Zheng called Yinlang.

"what's up?"

Silver Wolf answered immediately.

"That's it"

He briefly told the story of the Ama.

"I want to give those monks some trouble, but I don't know which department to contact."

“If the road surface is damaged, of course we should contact the Environmental Sanitation Department.”

Silver Wolf asked.

"That makes sense, but can the Environmental Sanitation Department control those monks?"

Liu Zheng asked doubtfully.

There shouldn't be a need for an Environmental Sanitation Bureau to manage the Metaverse, right?

"If they can't do it, then naturally someone else can. When the time comes, they can just send a letter to request cooperation from other departments."

"Okay, so how do I tell the Environmental Sanitation Department?"

he asked.

"Did you leave any traces?"

Silver Wolf asked.

"I think should not be?"

"Well, it doesn't matter if there is one. After all, you are from the Bloody Restaurant. You don't have to worry about this matter. I will notify the Environmental Sanitation Department."

Silver Wolf said.

"Okay. Does the Public Security Department have any say in this matter?"

Liu Zheng asked again.

"Kidnapping citizens is something the Public Security Department is certainly responsible for. But I'm not familiar with the people in the Public Security Department."

Silver Wolf replied.

"Then I'll think of a solution."

It seems that I have to let Nightingale try to contact him.

"Yes. Come to my house for dinner when you have time. I got some good meat recently, and your sister-in-law is very good at cooking meat."

Silver Wolf said, "Isn't it human flesh?"

Liu Zheng said half-jokingly.

"If the city hall employees don't have a strong background, they generally won't eat human flesh, and if they do, they won't do it openly."

Silver Wolf said.

"why?"

"You yourself are a member of the Brotherhood of Man, why do you say that?"

Silver Wolf said unhappily.

"Ah haha, I forgot."

Well, most of the regular employees of the city hall are humans. It doesn't matter if you offend one individual, but it's unnecessary to offend the whole group.

There are so many races in the metropolis, and humans are far from being at the top of the must-eat list.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zheng nodded to Nightingale.

"Call your friend."

"Okay, master."

The nightingale spoke meekly, clamping her voice.

"Can you keep your wife in check? She was being a little too dramatic today."

Liu Zheng said to the mermaid speechlessly.

"My family status is not as high as yours, so I can't control her."

The Ama said calmly.

"How come I have a high status? No, where does my family come from?"

He came back to his senses and said.

While the two were bickering, Nightingale had already made a call.

"Long time no see, God's one draw."

She said to the other end of the phone.

"What are you talking about, card-playing genius? Didn't we play cards together two weeks ago?"

The god over there asked curiously.

"Oh, really? I can't help it. Being with someone who's so restless has messed up my perception of time."

Nightingale glanced at Liu Zheng, who rolled his eyes.

"Aren't you a couple with that host? Why, you changed people? If that's the case, I'll chase her."

Shen Yi said excitedly.

"No, we added someone else. Now the three of us are together and we are living a good life."

Nightingale said seriously.

"Can you add another one? I'm also good at living."

God said persistently.

"Come on, you look so sloppy. If you weren't a fire elf half-blood, I don't know how dirty you would be."

"Besides, a triangle is the most stable shape. A parallelogram is too easy to deform."

Nightingale complained.

"Hey, are you calling me so late at night just to expose my shortcomings? If so, I'm hanging up."

God said unhappily.

"Haha. Let's talk about something serious. I need your help with something."

Nightingale said.

"What is it? I'm telling you, I won't do anything illegal unless you or the host have sex with me."

God said with a sigh.

"Sure, don't even mention one shot. I can hit you with a hundred shots."

Nightingale agreed readily.

"Hey, hey, I'm not talking about that sex. Damn it, you're such a woman who likes playing word games."

The One of Gods started to choke.

"You asked for it. You're not short of money, so why don't you go out and have some fun? Even those sex shops on the black market would welcome you, the deputy chief of the Public Security Department, right?"

Nightingale asked.

"No. My pure and beautiful body cannot be tainted by such a dirty relationship."

God refused decisively.

"Isn't it dirty to ask your friends to do that kind of thing with you by doing you a favor?"

Nightingale complained.

"That's different. I know you've been attracted by my intelligence and talent, but you just want me to use force to conquer you. We have a foundation of love."

God's words are very certain.

".How about just forget it?"

Nightingale looked at Liu Zheng.

"Just bear with it a little longer, just bear with it a little longer, just for the sake of the Ama."

Liu Zheng comforted.

"Okay, God's One, stop being horny. Do me a favor and you can pick a random card from my limited edition deck."

Nightingale said while holding back her anger.

"Tell me what it is first."

Shen Yi said with a twitch of alertness.

"I want to report a case."

Nightingale briefly recounted what had happened.

"Oh, about that. I want two."

God's one draw is to raise the price.

".OK."

After struggling for a moment, Nightingale finally agreed.

After hanging up the phone, she looked heartbroken.

"Hey, it's nothing. I can just buy it back."

Liu Zheng tried to comfort.

"What do you know? Many of my limited edition decks are the ones that helped me win championships. Their significance is completely different from those I bought later!"

Nightingale's tone was rarely excited.

"So take out those championship cards?"

"No, that would tarnish my dignity as a poker player."

Nightingale flatly refused.

"Ok."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

Although he has played many board games, it was just for fun and he didn't have such deep feelings for them.

"It's okay. At worst, I can play a few life-and-death games with him and win my card back."

Nightingale said viciously.

"I wish you success."

Liu Zheng said something perfunctorily and called the security room again.

"Hey, what's going on?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was not the old security guard's.

"I'm the delivery man from the bloody restaurant. Where's the old security guard?"

he asked, frowning.

"Oh, it's you. Dad was sent to the clinic."

"you are?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I'm Zhen Youquan, the property manager."

The person on the other end of the phone replied.

"It's Manager Zhen. I've heard a lot about you. Is Brother Dou seriously injured? How are the others doing?"

"The external injuries are not serious, but the brain is not clear. Two of the others died, four were seriously injured, and I won't talk about the minor injuries, but basically everything is there."

Manager Zhen said.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. Manager Zhen, I will cover all the medical expenses and make sure you guys are cured. As for the two brothers who died in the line of duty, I will also cover their funeral expenses and pensions."

"I will be responsible for buying them two good plots in the cemetery when the time comes."

he said sincerely.

"You don't have to worry about that. The exercise was very effective and exposed many problems. The company and the owners are very satisfied, and all expenses will be reimbursed."

"But you really should take care of your dad's affairs. The company doesn't have the budget to support a mentally ill person."

Manager Zhen said.

"I see. Where is he now?"

Liu Zheng asked.

“At the 'Good Again' clinic”

Manager Zhen gave out a string of addresses.

"Okay, I'll go see him when I'm done here."

He hung up the phone and sighed.

A fart in the sewer can kill countless groups of people.

The old security guard informed him that he was now at risk of becoming mentally ill.

His family certainly couldn't afford the cost of a mental hospital, and the property company obviously wouldn't pay for it either, so one can imagine what his fate would be.

"Even God can't save everyone. You've done well enough."

Unexpectedly, the first person to comfort him was the haenyeo.

Liu Zheng looked at her in surprise, and the latter turned her face away awkwardly.
