The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 559 Becoming Family
"First question, what do you like to eat?"

"Meat."

"Second question, what kind of flowers do you like?"

"Brains."

"…The third question is, where do you live?"

"Room 78342612, Floor 32, Building 72, Block 39."

Liu Sheng felt a little confused after listening to this.

It’s a good thing the old lady could remember such a long string of numbers.

"The fourth question is a general knowledge question. When was the warehouse capital established?"

The old lady looked at Liu Sheng deeply.

Liu Sheng looked back innocently, smiling in a harmless way.

After a while, the old lady spoke slowly in a hoarse voice: "Ten years ago, one day, we all 'woke up'."

Mao Wa also let out a soft howl to show his agreement.

[Ten years ago? Wasn’t that the year when the Sitianjian incident happened?]

This thought flashed through Liu Sheng's mind, but his expression remained normal.

"Fifth question, how did Maowa become a member of your family?"

The old lady didn't think much about it and said slowly: "Everyone who knows me knows that I picked him up a few days after the Warehouse City was established."

"It wasn't raining or snowing that day. He was just thrown into the garbage dump by someone. Seeing his tearful appearance, I softened my heart and took him home."

As she spoke, she gently stroked Maowa's hair. Maowa snuggled in her arms, looking unusually peaceful.

Liu Sheng frowned slightly and asked in a low voice: "Why was Maowa... abandoned at that time?"

The old lady said calmly: "Because it is not completely purified."

"At that time, the warehouse city was just being built, and many containment modes were still being adjusted. The city lord had just been selected... Many creatures like Maowa were scattered everywhere before they were completely purified. After all, not all such weird creatures are as docile as Maowa."

Thinking of the violent aura that Mao Wa exuded when he stayed in the room, Liu Sheng had some objections to the word "gentle", but he could also understand what the old lady meant.

"Come to think of it, you also have a city lord?" Liu Sheng asked curiously.

The old lady stood up, walked to the window, pulled open the freshly clean floral curtains, and pointed in a direction.

Liu Sheng looked in the direction she pointed, and saw only the shadows of countless tall buildings standing in the darkness. He had no idea what the old lady was referring to.

"That's the City Lord's Mansion over there, which manages our 108 communities."

[It corresponds to the 108 wards in Chang'an. ]

"There are also two cities, East and West?"

"Yes, we usually do our grocery shopping, dancing, and stuff there."

"Dance?"

"What? We can't have some cultural and entertainment activities?" The old lady narrowed her eyes and shot a fierce light.

"Okay, okay." Liu Sheng said hurriedly.

[This weird creature's retirement life is quite rich. ]

The old lady then snorted coldly.

Liu Sheng blinked and smiled sincerely.

"Okay, the telephone questioning is set up."

As soon as these words fell, as if to verify it, the phone rang suddenly, tearing apart the brief silence.

Under the old lady's cold gaze, Liu Sheng pressed the hands-free button.

A cold mechanical voice sounded: "Welcome to the call. Please answer the questions after the beep."

The old lady sneered: "That's pretty straightforward."

The other party naturally didn't hear what the old lady said, but just cursed anxiously: "Damn it, what's going on? I have to answer questions just to make a phone call!"

However, due to the influence of some strange signal, the other party's voice was distorted and could not be distinguished.

The old lady was used to it, so she just let it go and see how Liu Sheng’s setup turned out.

drop!
"What do I like to eat?" the mechanical voice asked.

"You?" The other party was confused for a moment, then reacted, "Oh, you, you eat meat, you must eat meat, who here doesn't like to eat meat..."

"correct answer!"

"Ding, next question..."

“Why is there more!!!” The other party also became angry.

But the mechanical voice still asked the next question calmly.

After all the questions were answered, the old lady picked up the phone and called the other party by name: "Lao Cai, what's the matter?" "Oh, Sister Wang, this call from your family is too troublesome, isn't it? It made me sweat all over my forehead."

"Isn't it because I'm afraid those things keep coming into the phone? You know, it's not only difficult to deal with, but it's also very annoying."

"Yes, yes, it's a harassing call..." the other party replied, "But it's good that I can finally get through. You always ignored me before, and I had to ask the neighbors to call you..."

Although this strange creature was anxious, it talked endlessly.

So the old lady said coldly: "Speak to the point."

"Hey, I have something urgent to do. Do you want to take this order?"

"doing what?"

"What else can I do? I can just do cleaning! It's so smoky and dirty now, and a bunch of people are coming..."

Liu Sheng was listening silently, but he saw the old lady looked at him in confusion because of this sentence.

[Does the old lady think we do a good job of cleaning? ]

Liu Sheng glanced at the now bright and warm living room, and was silently satisfied.

【We do have some experience now.】

"Okay." The old lady responded.

The other party was immediately happy and said, "It's great to have you, a senior cleaner..."

"I asked my granddaughter to go in my place."

When these words came out, Liu Sheng and the other party were shocked.

The other party was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said, "You...your granddaughter? You, just picked her up?"

"Ah."

The old lady did not deny it, and Liu Sheng felt a little warm in his heart. Then he heard her say:

"It's a rare opportunity, I want her to show her face."

“Hiss… But today’s job is not easy…” The other party was a little embarrassed.

[Cleaning? It's just a matter of cleansing. How difficult can it be?]

"She's fine," the old lady said.

[Sure enough, grandma has great confidence in us. ]

【Look at this room, how can you not have confidence? 】

"Well, that's fine." The other party seemed to know the old lady's temper and agreed. "Then let your granddaughter take the tools and meet at the City Lord's Mansion."

Then the call was hung up.

Liu Sheng looked at the old lady and asked curiously: "Why do you want me to..."

The old lady said directly: "You have done so much, don't you just want to go out and find your companions?"

Liu Sheng nodded slightly, without any fear or alarm, and he thought the old lady could see it as well.

"When I came back, I heard that all the captured people were sent to the City Lord's Mansion by the community, so you can go there to look for them."

"Thank you." Liu Sheng said sincerely.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Cleaning is not an easy job."

As he spoke, a black card was handed to Liu Sheng.

The old lady said calmly: "This is my work ID."

then.

"These are my work clothes and tools."

“Why are guns and ammunition used as cleaning tools?”

“Why can’t cleaners use guns and ammunition?”

Liu Sheng was confused by this question, and the old lady finally remembered to explain:
“We don’t clean floors and toilets.”

"What...is that?" Liu Sheng asked curiously.

"It's something that came up from the abyss." said the old lady calmly.

Liu Sheng was shocked and could not hide his expression for a moment.

The old lady continued, "We, the weird creatures, are already too close to the abyss. Although we have regained some consciousness after purification, it is inevitable that we will gradually approach the abyss as time goes by, and we will get closer and closer..."

"But because of this, only we can clean up those things in the abyss."

Liu Sheng's heart trembled, and he suddenly realized that the function of the dragon vein was probably not just as simple as suppressing the warehouse and the strange creatures.

And these strange creatures are not just as unforgivable as she once thought.

[No, we changed our mind a long time ago.]
