Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Ok?"

Liu Zheng walked up to the cows and horses with his phone in hand.

"Hey bro, what's going on here?"

he asked.

Niu and Ma glanced at their phones and frowned.

"I don't know, I've never seen it before."

It shook its head.

Should I answer or not?

"They've already called, do you think nothing will happen if you don't answer?"

"Too."

It's a blessing, not a curse, but the curse cannot be avoided.

Liu Zheng pressed the answer button.

"You wait."

The ox and horse hesitated for a moment before getting up from the haystack.

"Lie down."

it said.

"what?"

"Hurry up, or I'll beat you up."

The ox and horse puffed out their lips and glared.

"Okay, okay, I'll lie down then."

Liu Zheng walked to the haystack and lay down like an ox or a horse.

An indescribable sense of security suddenly enveloped him, like the feeling of being held in his mother's arms, a feeling he had never experienced before.

"Alright, answer it."

"The ox and horse said."

Liu Zheng pressed the call button as instructed.

A hissing noise came from the other end of the phone, and a subtle sense of unease flashed by.

"Hey, who is it?"

he asked.

"Red Ghost".

The hoarse, low voice of the Red Ghost rang out.

"Uh, what do you want?"

Liu Zheng shifted his body somewhat awkwardly.

Although Red Ghost doesn't seem like a bad guy, and doesn't seem to have as many schemes against him as Ghost Hand.

But the secrets it hides are probably even greater than the Ghost Hand, and the less it asks of him, the less secure he feels.

"The sewers seem really angry. Do you have any clues?"

Red Ghost asked.

"Ah, a little bit."

Liu Zheng replied vaguely.

"You actually know? Tell me, what happened?"

Red Ghost was also somewhat surprised.

It spends most of its time in the shelter and has very little contact with the outside world.

This time, the sewers went berserk, disrupting the peace of the shelter.

It had tried to communicate with the sewers, but now that thing is completely out of its mind.

Desperate, Red Ghost made a call to Liu Zheng.

I didn't expect to actually find the right person.

"Uh, it's nothing really, I just fished out its testicles."

Liu Zheng scratched his head awkwardly.

He never expected that fishing would cause such a big commotion; a single egg had almost alarmed the entire city.

A long silence fell over both ends of the phone call.

“I once had a soldier like you who could cause a lot of trouble.”

Red Ghost spoke leisurely.

"and after?"

"Later, he couldn't even become a ghost anymore."

Red Ghost said.

"That means he's not capable of causing trouble enough."

Liu Zheng said proudly.

"Perhaps you are right."

Red Ghost agreed with him.

"Give me the testicles from the sewer, and I'll give you equal compensation."

it said.

"You're too late. I've already handed over the egg."

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

If Si Xue hadn't taken it, he would have been willing to give it to Red Ghost.

It's definitely more reliable than handing it over to the city hall.

"Whom was it given to?"

"I can't say, but she should be able to handle this."

Even if Si Xue doesn't care, the city hall will force her to hand it over.

“Tell her I’ll wait a maximum of 24 hours. If it’s not resolved by then, I’ll settle things in my own way.”

Red Ghost said.

"Then how should I introduce you?"

"Red Ghost".

Red Ghost hung up the phone.

"Who is it, talking so arrogantly?"

The ox and horse asked curiously.

The Red Ghost's volume wasn't quiet; it heard it all.

"Do you know Red Phantom?"

"Don't recognize me. What do I look like?"

Liu Zheng described what the Red Ghost looked like.

"I still don't recognize them. But those who hide their true colors are usually not good people."

The oxen and horses shook their heads.

"I hope you'll say the same thing when you see it."

"Tch, I'm not going to the sewers, why would I want to see it? Also, you should tone down your succubus vibe, stop flirting with just anyone."

"The cows and horses complained."

"I didn't want to either, but they insisted on coming to us. What could I do?"

He shrugged.

Honestly, aside from the plane tree, the novelist, and the vampire girl, he was forced to get to know everyone else.

If we can't be friends, let's be food.

"Anyway, I've reminded you, whether you listen or not is up to you. By the way, the effect of that black koi fish should have worn off by now, so you'll have to deliver the rest of the takeout yourself. Go away, get off my bed."

The oxen and horses urged on.

"Oh right, takeout."

Liu Zheng left the haystack and quickly opened the delivery box.

The food inside had turned into a pile of black waste.

"whispering sound."

They really didn't let him exploit any loopholes.

After thinking about it, he still called Si Xue.

"what's up?"

Si Xue's tone was a little impatient.

If you listen carefully, you can also hear a noisy, synthesized electronic sound coming from her.

"Someone asked me to tell you that if the sewer problem isn't resolved within 24 hours, it will resolve it in its own way."

Liu Zheng tried to phrase it in a tactful way.

"Huh? Who? If the name you give doesn't satisfy me, you can go work as a cosplayer in the customer service department later."

Si Xue said coldly.

"Red Ghost".

He said, trembling with fear.

He just hoped the name Red Ghost would be as useful as he imagined; being a cosplayer in the customer service department was no better than being an ingredient in the kitchen.

"understood."

Si Xue hung up the phone.

"Whoo~"

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He escaped death again.

However, he became even more curious about Red Ghost's identity.

What kind of being could possibly be so terrifying that even the owner of the bloody restaurant couldn't retaliate?

Moreover, judging from its words, it can communicate with the enraged sewers, though the communication is not smooth.

Of course, curiosity aside, he wouldn't actively seek out Red Ghost unless she approached him.

A single fart from a powerful figure can kill all the creatures in a river.

He was about to call Nightingale when she called him first.

"Well, thankfully I don't have to pay for phone calls."
