Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

After all, without him, it would be difficult for that pure meat sausage to find anyone else who could crack the disc.

But Liu Zheng thought about it and decided against it. You have to give something for something you get. He already had enough unfinished tasks, so he shouldn't create more trouble for himself.

Moreover, he already possesses enough items, and it's unlikely that the newsstand owner could provide any transformative assistance.

"You look like you've had quite a good haul."

Back in the lounge, Niu Ma glanced at him and said.

"It's all thanks to everyone's help."

Liu Zheng said modestly.

"I have no idea where you get your charm from, you've hooked up with so many people in such a short time."

The ox and horse said with a hint of jealousy.

Although it couldn't see the items stored in the system space, it could see the complex aura emanating from him.

"It's all thanks to you, Boss. Many people only bother with me because of you."

Liu Zheng quickly offered a compliment.

"Yes, that's the truth."

The expressions on the cows and horses looked much better.

For example, Dr. Nile, if it weren't for the fact that the cattle and horses were the bosses of the delivery department, they would have closed the door and released scarabs as soon as they met.

"Alright, Napoleon called to urge you, you'd better hurry over."

The ox and horse shook their hooves and said.

"okay."

Just as Liu Zheng was about to leave, Niu Ma called him back.

"Hey, wait."

"What's wrong, boss?"

He looked back.

"I know you're not afraid to fight, but there are some enemies you can't beat, so there's no point in fighting, you know?"

"It's just a matter of time," Niu Ma said calmly.

"You can't win at all, I don't understand."

Liu Zheng paused for a moment, then smiled and said.

“Since I came to the food delivery department, I have been facing enemies I can’t beat. If I don’t fight hard because I can’t win, I would have died long ago.”

"Besides, if I don't come back, how will you go on vacation, boss? I'm still waiting for Little Bull Horse to recognize me as his godfather."

He chuckled.

"Bullshit! You think you're worthy to be my daughter's godfather!"

Suddenly, the ox and horse stood up and kicked him out of the rest room with one hoof.

"Get out of here, get out of here! Don't let me see you again, or I'll kick the shit out of you!"

The door slammed shut, leaving only that large, lonely figure in the lounge once again.

Chapter 243 When You Gaze into the Abyss

"Walk."

Upon arriving at the kitchen, the white-feathered chicken didn't say much and led him and the calico cat directly towards the passageway.

Perhaps because they were going on a trip, the calico cat had also changed into a new outfit.

Not only did he wear a vest and boots, but he also put on a fisherman's hat.

Hmm, it looks kind of familiar.

Upon exiting the passage, two uniformed individuals were waiting outside, along with a black official vehicle parked nearby.

The upper left corner of the pure white uniform had a door symbol stamped with red sealing wax.

They wore the same pure white peaked caps, with a symbol of two crossed keys hanging in the middle of the caps.

One key is facing up, and the other key is facing down.

From hat to shoes, every detail is meticulous, exuding a capable and rigorous temperament.

As for their appearance, they were quite ordinary, just like typical low- to mid-level government employees.

Upon seeing someone come out, the two uniformed men turned their gazes toward them.

When they saw Liu Zheng, a hint of surprise and curiosity flashed in their eyes.

"They are the people selected for this overseas procurement trip."

The white-feathered chicken was introduced.

"Okay. Please sign here."

A uniformed man took a document and a pen from his briefcase and handed them to the white-feathered chicken.

The white-feathered chicken took it without even looking at it, flipped to the back, signed its name, and then handed it back to the uniformed man.

Liu Zheng watched from the side, his eyes twitching. Even slave owners hadn't been this quick to transfer black slaves.

However, considering that the city hall's official documents are probably all standardized, there really is no difference between reading them and not reading them.

"Please get in the car, both of you."

The man in uniform put on the documents and then opened the car door.

The calico cat lingered for a while, looking at the restaurant with reluctance, before dejectedly entering the carriage.

Liu Zheng wasn't as attached as it was, but he still stared at the restaurant for a few seconds without realizing it.

After all, his experiences during this period were so fulfilling that he had the illusion that he had been working in the restaurant industry for half his life.

Most living things need a sense of security, and a major source of that security is a familiar environment.

Although the Bloody Restaurant was not a safe place, Liu Zheng still felt a little reluctant to leave it compared to the unknown beyond the border.

However, he quickly composed himself and climbed into the carriage.

Liang Garden may be beautiful, but it is not a place to linger.

Anyway, he'll come back again.

The car doors closed automatically, isolating everything outside.

Liu Zheng looked out the car window and could only see complete darkness.

"Don't try to open the window or the car door. Doing so will only cause you trouble and won't get you anywhere else."

"That's what the uniformed man in the passenger seat said."

"Don't worry, the thing I dislike most is causing trouble, whether it's for myself or for others."

he said with a smile.

“I would love to believe you, but according to the files we received, your own account doesn’t seem to match what you’ve said.”

The uniformed man sitting in the passenger seat also smiled.

"Then there must be a discrepancy in the record."

Liu Zheng said without batting an eye.

"My name is Liu Zheng, and this is Salmon. May I ask your names?"

Seeing that the other person seemed willing to communicate, he tentatively asked.

“You can call me 8848, and his name is 4399.”

The uniformed man sitting in the passenger seat replied.

"Good name."

Liu Zheng said sincerely.

One is destined for great wealth and high status, the other possesses strong vitality.

"Your name is also good. Liu Zheng, meaning to preserve justice."

"4399 is sitting in the driver's seat," 4399 suddenly said.

"Ok?"

He narrowed his eyes with some suspicion.

These two people seemed to be a little too friendly towards him.

"We are both members of the 'rejecting favor' faction."

Seemingly aware of Liu Zheng's thoughts, 8848 offered an explanation.

"The faction that rejects favor?"

"It's the faction within humanity that refuses to keep humans as pets. We applaud you for blowing up 'Sunshine' Pet Shop."

8848 further explained.

"I see."

He suddenly said.

At the same time, he mentally gave Yorozuya a thumbs up.

Although the fees are high, they really get things done once the money is paid; even the staff at the city hall were arranged so well.

"Excuse me for asking, aren't human pets supposed to assist you in your work? Why do you refuse to use humans as pets?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

To say it's out of racial sentiment would be a bit hypocritical.

"It's mainly for the purpose of improving racial status. A race that still has a large population being raised as pets or food cannot be promoted to a higher race."

8848 provided the reason.

"Oh."

He nodded, but didn't ask any further questions.

Because he keenly sensed the danger of continuing this topic.

Humans already occupy a large number of positions in the city hall. If they are further elevated to a higher race, can the current power structure of the metropolis still be maintained?

Seeing that Liu Zheng had stopped talking, 8848 and 4399 seemed a little disappointed, but they also felt a little more appreciative of him.

He's decisive when he needs to be, and cautious when he needs to be. He's a talented person.

"If you don't want to chat, then let's go to sleep."

4399 suddenly said, and then pressed a button.

The car stereo played soft violin music, and as the music flowed smoothly, Liu Zheng and the calico cat quickly felt a strong drowsiness and soon drifted off into a deep sleep.

"It's time to wake up."

After an unknown amount of time, the voice of 4399 rang in their ears.

Liu Zheng and the calico cat immediately woke up from their sleep, without showing any signs of drowsiness.

"You can get off now."

8848 said.

He and the calico cat exchanged a glance, then each opened their car doors and got out.

When he saw the scene outside clearly, a deep shudder took hold of his mind.

Liu Zheng was standing on a grassy field, and beyond the grass was an abyss with no end in sight.

It was so wide and so deep that even though there was no water in the abyss, he felt as if he were facing a vast ocean.

On the other side of the abyss, there is also an endless black line.
