Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"."

The chocolate ice cream stopped screaming, and the chocolate shell turned back into chocolate sauce.

"You'll ask again, and if I tell you, you'll yell, 'Do you have some serious illness?'"

he said angrily.

“I did not expect that your recitation of the name of the Lord could sense the true form of your Lord, so I had to interrupt you.”

The chocolate ice cream said rather innocently.

"speak English."

Liu Zheng picked at his ear.

He's not a Chinese language and literature major, so why keep talking to him in classical Chinese?

“Your followers are mere mortals; do not listen to them.”

"Chocolate ice cream," said the speaker.

"Then you can go out first."

Liu Zheng said.

"Hey boss, be careful, this guy doesn't look like a good person."

Xia Kai reminded him.

In the adult games he's played, this type of character is usually the boss who unlocks the heroine's defeat CG.

"understood."

Xia Kai and three gunpowder workshop hunters went out, and Andrina also went out reluctantly.

"Can we talk now?"

Liu Zheng looked at the chocolate ice cream.

The chocolate ice cream remained silent for a moment, then the black mud coalesced and transformed again, becoming a tall woman without a face.

"I never imagined you were a divine child."

It slowly opened its mouth, and this time a clear female voice came out.

"No, you are not a god either."

Immediately, it contradicted itself.

"You are a special kind of clan."

It hesitated for a moment, then finally made a conclusion.

"Whatever you say goes."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

He didn't care what he really was, as long as he wasn't human.

“I can sense that your superior is exceptionally distinguished, far surpassing other superiors.”

"Shadow Mud said."

"Thank you, though I'm not particularly happy about it. By the way, what are you? A superior being, a divine child, or a member of the kin?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I am part of the Son of God."

Shadow Mud hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"A part? A part separated from a divine child, or is 'divine child' just a title, and you can all call yourselves divine children?"

"It is a part that was separated from a divine child."

The Mud of Shadows replied honestly.

"Oh, so those that Andrina encountered in the Forbidden Forest were another part?"

Liu Zheng remembered and said.

"I don't know what you mean by the Forbidden Forest, but I think it is."

"Shadow Mud said."

"Wasn't it destroyed? So, will you never become a complete God Child, or will you become a complete God Child?"

“I will not be whole. But I know it is not dead.”

The muddy path of shadows leads back.

"Goodness, I knew there was something wrong."

He sneered.

Although there is no evidence, it is highly likely that the brothers of Shadow Mud are in the hands of the church.

It's unclear whether it's in the hands of the High Priest Amelia, or in the hands of that choir or some other branch.

Do you know where it is?

"Shadow Mud said with some excitement."

"I'm not entirely sure, but I'm probably right."

Liu Zheng nodded.

“Bring it to me, and I will repay you.”

"Shadow Mud said impatiently."

What can you give me in return?

He looked at it sideways.

"I can grant you the ability to regenerate flesh and blood."

"Shadow Mud said."

"what?"

Liu Zheng raised his butcher's knife and cut off his own tentacle with one stroke, then watched it grow back rapidly.

Is it as fast as mine?

He raised his eyebrows.

"I can grant you the ability to mimic other people's bodies."

Shadow Mud paused for a moment before speaking.

"what?"

Liu Zheng took out the cosplay outfit and kneaded it in his hands.

"Is your imitation even legitimate?"

"I can bestow upon you the blessing of darkness, enabling you to see in the dark, and your body to receive the blessing of darkness."

"Shadow Mud" said again.

"what?"

He put away his cosplay outfit and took out the Heart of the Ocean.

"Is your blessing of darkness as generous as the blessing of the ocean?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Without a doubt, the effect of increasing recovery speed by 100% alone was enough to defeat Dark Blessing.

"Foreign clan, why do you possess so many powerful items?"

Shadow Mud asked, somewhat speechlessly.

"There's nothing we can do. We city folks from the metropolis have more possessions than you country folk."

He said it with an air of arrogance.

"I can grant you the inner eye."

Shadow Mud remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"What is the inner eye? Also, stop giving and giving. Get this straight, you're the one asking me, not the other way around. We're just having a normal transactional relationship."

Liu Zheng said unhappily.

"The inner eye is the ladder to the mystery, the passage connecting the universe, and the rope for mastering spiritual vision."

The voice of the Shadow Mud became indistinct again.

"speak English."

His response was only one sentence.

"With the inner eye, you will be able to see things in higher dimensions."

"Oh, you should have said so earlier. Here, take a look at this."

Liu Zheng took out the red and blue pills he had obtained from the Writers Association's salon.

"grumble!"

The Shadow Mud let out another scream, but this time it sounded more like it was enraged.

"You possess everything, so why do you question me? Are you perhaps deliberately mocking me? Even if you are of noble birth and exceptional status, you should not insult a divine child in this way!"

It said loudly.

"You were the one who said you wanted to repay me, right? How come you're getting angry after only a few words?"

Liu Zheng retorted sharply.

"What, you, a dignified divine son, can't even produce something that one of my clans doesn't have? Then I think you shouldn't even think about becoming whole. Just masturbate a couple of times to your superior and let Him kill your own flesh and blood and recreate you."

He rolled his eyes.

They are extraordinary beings, yet they are more easily agitated than humans.

“A ruler can only have one divine child at a time. They have not died, and my father cannot have any new offspring.”

"Shadow Mud explained."

"Why are you acting like an AI? I ask you a question and you answer it. Wait, 'them'? How many parts are you actually divided into?"

"Five."

The muddy path of shadows leads back.

"Good heavens, you've been torn apart by five horses! Who did this?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

“I don’t know, I was split up before I regained consciousness. I’ve found two parts and devoured them, and I only need two more pieces to be whole.”

"Shadow Mud said."

"Then I wish you success. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

He said perfunctorily.

"You won't help me?"

"What's our relationship? Why should I help you? Don't let our brotherly relationship fool you, I'm actually quite busy. If you want my help, you'll have to offer something real."

Liu Zheng said.

"what do you want?"

This time, Shadow Mud learned its lesson and let him speak for himself.

"The Holy Grail of Tomel, the umbilical cord of the Divine Child, the Blood Gem, or any item of the same quality as the two I possess will do."

Liu Zheng pointed to the legendary vest and dragon robe cloak he was wearing.

"The umbilical cord of the divine child is on their bodies. I don't have anything else you mentioned."

"Shadow Mud said."
