Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Page 194

The words "death" were written on the bark of a plane tree, along with a line of characters for "child" and "mother".

Bonaparte.

"You gave him a name again."

He sighed.

When the time comes, they won't allow us to move the grave.

"I am their protector now. I can take whatever I want. It's none of your business."

"Get back to your own business, you annoying human."

"I can't stand it," the plane tree said impatiently.

"Fine, fine, you're the one with the bigger fist, so you get to call the shots."

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

As he walked down to the well, he pondered to himself.

Considering how much these strange residents value names, it's likely that the French plane tree had other motives for naming the two children.

The phoenix is a bird that rises from the ashes and is reborn.

Could it be that if the plane tree evolves into a phoenix, it can bring them back to life?

What good would it do to resurrect two frail human children?

Puzzled, Liu Zheng put on the cosplay outfit he had already sculpted and jumped into the sewer.

Chapter 159 Do I have to poop just because I turned blond?

"Boom!"

Liu Zheng landed with an elegant posture.

Before landing, he also attempted difficult maneuvers such as a 360° giant loop and a six-turn mid-air.

It's a pity there's no homeowners' committee in the sewers, otherwise he could at least get an honorary homeowner's medal or something.

With a slight sense of regret, Liu Zheng walked towards the well exit.

When he reached the exit, he did not see the fisherman.

So he made a phone call.

"I have arrived."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay, just a moment."

The sound of rushing water came from the other end of the phone.

"What are they fighting with?"

He had a vague bad feeling.

A few minutes later, the fisherman walked over from a distance, carrying a large, ugly-looking fish in his hand, which he dragged along the way.

When he saw Liu Zheng's appearance, he was first shocked, then furious.

"Who told you to cosplay as that blond guy?!"

The fisherman was furious.

"Do you think I wanted this? She's the strongest among people weaker than oxen and horses."

Liu Zheng was even more unhappy than him.

He reached into his bra and adjusted the position of the two lumps of flesh.

Only after becoming a nightingale did I realize how heavy that woman was, at least four or five hundred pounds.

These two lumps of meat are especially important; they're the kind that can shift your center of gravity if you run.

The fisherman watched with bulging eyes. He was already annoyed to see Liu Zheng turn yellow-haired, and seeing him do this in front of him made him even more disgusted.

If he didn't owe this kid his life, he would have beaten him to a pulp by now.

However, there are some advantages to Liu Zheng becoming like this.

The fisherman revealed a malicious smile.

"What are you doing? I'm warning you, don't get any funny ideas, or I'll call in the sewers."

Liu Zheng said warily.

"Stop talking nonsense. I have good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

The fisherman asked.

"bad news."

"The bad news is that the fish I used to clean the river went crazy and I killed them. The other fish weren't big enough to be used."

"That's what the fisherman said."

"Could this be the one?"

Liu Zheng looked at the dead fish and said.

Once he got closer, he could tell it was a street sweeper, only much larger.

"That's right. By the way, don't even think about getting your hands on this fish, it's not tasty."

"That's what the fisherman said."

"I never intended to do that anyway."

He said speechlessly.

The cleaner fish, also known as the garbage fish, is a name that tells you it won't taste good.

It has a hard outer skin, many bones, and fishy flesh. It also eats the eggs of other fish, making it one of the most disliked fish by both humans and dogs.

There's a content creator on Bilibili who specializes in killing street cleaners. Liu Zheng watches it occasionally; it's quite stress-relieving.

"Whatever. Now I have good news."

The fisherman deliberately paused for a long time, until he became impatient, before finally speaking.

"The good news is, you can take the place of this fish."

"What kind of good news is this?!"

Although he was mentally prepared, Liu Zheng was still quite devastated after hearing the fisherman's words.

He was fed shit by others before, and now he wants to eat other people's shit. What kind of logical loop is this?

He's just a food deliveryman, why should he suffer such human hardship?

"Of course it's good news. If you were still that tentacle-man, I might have felt a little sympathy. But now that blond guy, I just feel incredibly good."

"Hahahahahaha!!!!!!"

The fisherman burst into a thunderous laugh that shook the entire river.

"hehe."

Liu Zheng stretched out her slender hand and gave him the middle finger.

"Kid, don't think you can be so disrespectful just because you saved me once. Believe me or not, I'll feed all four of your tentacles to the fish."

The fisherman said coldly.

"Do you know that the female diver is going to the garbage disposal plant to find her mother?"

Liu Zheng said.

".when?"

The fisherman was silent for a moment before asking.

"I don't know, but I'll make her wait for me. If you want me to protect her, then show me your attitude."

He said.

"You? You're more like a female diver protecting you."

The fisherman said dismissively.

Although he never formally taught the Ama to fight, their innate abilities were enough to make them strong among the younger generation.

"Alright, then let that blond guy go with the female diver."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"No."

The fisherman called out.

He knew about the "suspension bridge effect." If the two of them were to live and die together, and even find his wife, they would be inseparable, even in death.

And deep down, he really wanted Liu Zheng to accompany the sea woman.

This human doesn't seem strong, but he always manages to create some strange things and lead to some mysterious relationships.

"Then think of a way to avoid making me eat shit."

Liu said expressionlessly.

Although eating feces is not out of the question if it's necessary to survive.

After all, the sewer exists in a unique way, so eating its excrement doesn't evoke as much humiliation.

But you'll still feel nauseous.

Especially with such a long river, how much excrement must he have eaten?

Even if he could eat it, his stomach couldn't hold it all.

"vomit."

The thought of a massive wave of excrement hitting him made Liu Zheng gag.

"It's impossible not to eat shit."

The fisherman shook his head.

"Ok?"

A hint of murderous intent flickered in his eyes.

"Even if you kill me, it won't change anything; that's the rule. However, I can combine cleansing the intestines and promoting bowel movements into one thing."

"If you're lucky enough, you might not have to eat shit."

"But I must warn you, this is extremely difficult. You could very well die from overeating poop, being hit by garbage, or being contaminated and mutated."

"That's what the fisherman said."

"Tell me exactly what it is first."

Liu Zheng certainly wouldn't back down because of his few words, nor would he act rashly just because he didn't want to eat shit.

"This is it."

The fisherman swung his arm and fished a small seaplane out of the river.

The plane looked quite old, with rust visible in many places.

Moreover, the color scheme and design are very strange, making it look less like a proper seaplane and more like a children's amusement facility.

Have you ever played a game where you shoot down flying chickens? I mean the kind on arcade machines.

The fisherman asked.

"I've played it."

Liu Zheng nodded.

When he was a child, besides Romance of the Three Kingdoms and The King of Fighters '97, his favorite games were all kinds of shooting games.
