Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Page 435

Clan relations are a type of blood relationship.

The red pig is neither human nor pig, and neither humans nor pigs would consider it one of their own.

The reason why Liu Zheng was able to gain favor with the "anti-favor faction" in the city hall was twofold: firstly, the bloodline of his black goat cub was reversible, and secondly, his outstanding performance made the "anti-favor faction" look at him differently.

"Alright, you're already dead, what's there to complain about? Let's get down to business."

The ox and horse interrupted it.

"Having this mark will make your actions at the Hundred Ghosts Bathhouse much smoother. But this is on the premise that you are there to consume normally. If you want to rescue someone, you will still encounter trouble."

Red Pig got back to the main topic.

"That's good enough."

Liu Zheng nodded.

At least this way he can go to the Hyakki Gyokujo Bathhouse to gather more information.

"That's all I know about the Hyakki Gyo Bathhouse, because I was cursed at another bathhouse."

Red Pig said.

"Now that Grandma Tang controls half of Bath Street, there must be others in the other half who want to take her place as the head, right?"

He pondered for a moment and then asked.

“That’s right. Niu Ma, your little brother is much smarter than you.”

While answering, the red pig still couldn't resist mocking the ox and the horse.

The oxen and horses looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear.

"There's a bathhouse called Gaga Shuang on Bath Street. It only opened twenty years ago, but it became one of the top ten bathhouses on Bath Street in less than five years. I heard that it mainly offers catering and bath scrubbing services, and the variety of catering options is unique on Bath Street."

Red Pig said.

Who's behind them?

Liu Zheng asked.

The fact that it was able to stand out in the already divided bathhouse district is definitely not just due to word-of-mouth from customers.

"They're said to be some department head at the city hall. But they rely not only on connections, but mainly on their unity, their willingness to fight, and their fighting skills."

"I heard that before they opened on Bath Street, they had a fight with Granny Tang's men. It was said to be a fierce one, with all of Granny Tang's men killed, and a third of the bathhouse attendants also dying. They didn't have enough staff when they opened, and they had to borrow people from bathhouses in the city."

Red Pig said.

"."

He felt something was off about it, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"In the bathhouse district, if you're asking who dares to go head-to-head with Grandma Tang, it's only the Gaga Soothing Bathhouse. If you can get their support, the success rate of rescuing people will greatly increase."

"So how can we get the support of the GaGaShuang Bathhouse?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Chapter 348 Actually, the Sphinx isn't bad either; its big buttocks are good for childbirth.

"It depends on whether you want it long-term or short-term."

Red Pig said.

"What about the long term? What about the short term?"

"In the long run, if you apply for a job there, with your abilities, reaching the management level shouldn't be a problem. At that time, you will naturally get the support of GaGaShuang Bathhouse."

Red Pig said.

"Let's talk about the short term then."

He wouldn't mind applying for a job at the GaGaShuang Bathhouse; after all, the work would be easier than at the Bloody Restaurant.

Moreover, his four tentacles, combined with his massage and bone-setting techniques, are practically tailor-made for a bathhouse attendant.

But first of all, the restaurant definitely won't let people go.

Secondly, even if he can afford to wait, Sumire and the others cannot.

"In the short term, I've heard they only respect people who can drink and fight. If you can drink them all under the table and then beat them up, you should be able to gain their approval."

Red Pig said.

"Am I alone?"

"Nonsense, if you bring a bunch of people, that's not making friends, that's causing trouble."

Red Pig said irritably.

"Do you think I can beat them?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Red Pig glanced at him sideways without saying a word, but the meaning was already quite clear.

Those were a group of formidable individuals who had fought a bloody battle with Granny Tang and even won.

If he could take them down by himself, why would he need support? He could just go to Granny Tang and ask for their people.

"Of course, it's not that you can't bring anyone at all. You can bring a male or a female to visit as brothers or spouses."

Red Pig said again.

"Oh? That's great."

Liu Zheng exclaimed in delight.

Don't underestimate the fact that you can only bring one person; this is a major breakthrough that makes 1+1>2.

After all, there aren't many people he knows who are weaker than him.

"Don't even think about bringing cattle or horses. If the department head of the Bloody Restaurant comes to your door in person, the people who are really into it will just think you want to kill them all and use them as ingredients."

Red Pig reminded me.

"Can you come with me, Red Pig Boss?"

An idea struck him.

Whether it's strength or familiarity with the bathhouse area, Red Pig is the best choice.

"Okay, once you become the cemetery manager, I'll go wherever you want."

"Of course, if that day really comes, it's hard to say whether you'll still be able to leave here."

Red Pig sneered.

"Ok."

Liu Zheng lowered his head in disappointment and began to think about suitable candidates.

The three potato sisters were the first to be ruled out; they weren't capable enough to handle such a large-scale event.

Nightingale might be strong enough, but if she dared to leave the city and go to a lawless place like Bath Street, they would probably be fighting not the masseuses at the Gaga Bathhouse, but the assassins sent by her brothers and sisters.

The novelist and Hishi Shikibu are capable enough, but they can't be contacted for the time being.

Moreover, the novelist never asked for anything in return for helping him, which made Liu Zheng even more hesitant to ask her for help.

The fisherman and Brother Sha couldn't get out of the sewers, and Wang Manni and the cleaning lady weren't strong enough.

After much thought, it seems that only the Nile River doctor is worth using.

Alas, it's true that you only realize how few friends you have when you need them most.

It's a pity the plane tree can't be moved, otherwise it would be the perfect tool for both fighting and drinking.

"what?"

Liu Zheng suddenly thought of something.

"What if I drink them under the table? What if I drink that poisoned liquor and they don't dare to drink it, does that count as drinking them under the table?"

he asked.

"That sounds a bit like you're cheating."

Red Pig paused for a moment before speaking.

"Just tell me if it counts or not?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

Red Pig hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"That's fine. Hopefully, Delegos didn't drink all of that wine."

Although given that alcoholic's addiction, the chances are slim.

However, considering that the other party is also a collector, it is not impossible.

"By the way, there's a massage parlor in town called Authentic Massage. We borrowed staff from them when the Gagashuang Bathhouse was short-staffed. We should have a pretty good relationship. You can go there and ask them about it."

The red pig thought for a moment and then said...

"Where is the exact location?"

"Take out the map."

Liu Zheng took out the map as instructed, and the red pig's semi-transparent finger passed directly through a point on the map.

"It's nearby. You can find it yourself when you get there."

it said.

"okay."

"Alright, I'm tired. You two, get out of my sight right now, you're just annoying to look at."

Red Pig said without any politeness.

"Tch, as if I'd love to see you."

After saying this, Niu Ma turned and left without looking back.

"Boss Red Pig, regarding the matter you entrusted to me..."

Before Liu Zheng could finish speaking, Red Pig raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Alright, I know you're busy. The lives of the living are more important than the lives of the dead. I've already waited so long, I don't mind waiting a little longer."

"Anyway, if you die, the cattle and horses will definitely bury you here. If you still haven't completed my task by then, it won't be too late for me to beat you up."

It brandished its fist in a threatening gesture.

"Haha. I'm off then, Red Pig Boss, enjoy your meal."

Liu Zheng chuckled and caught up with the oxen and horses.

The red pig watched them disappear into the distance, then reached out, grabbed the wine bottle from the ground, and retreated back into the grave.

"Where to go now?"

Back in the car, the driver asked.

"Let's go to the 'Imhotem' clinic first."

Liu Zheng said.

"Row."

The driver nodded and started the sports car.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the "Imhotem" clinic.

The sphinx raised its head when it saw Liu Zheng, and then closed its eyes again when it saw the cattle and horses.
