Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Captain, I'm here."

Wang Dongdong quickly suppressed his smugness and saluted the security captain.

Having been in the city for so long, he has basically mastered the skills to survive in the metropolis.

That means doing less, talking less, going out less, and looking at people less.

If you don't figure out who to strike hard against, who to flatter and fawn over, and who to keep your distance from, then standing guard is just like keeping vigil for yourself.

"Have you not added any food delivery drivers recently?"

"The security captain asked."

"No, no, don't worry, I'm watching everything. I guarantee no food delivery person will sneak into our community."

Wang Dongdong quickly replied.

The property management company provides pretty good benefits; they rented apartments in Crazy City for them as dormitories, so it's not wrong to call it part of our community.

“Great, the company said that if you can stop those delivery drivers even once, your salary will increase by one level. If you can make him fail to deliver, you’ll become a property manager directly. If you can get rid of him, you’ll get a three-bedroom apartment.”

"That's what the security captain said."

"real or fake?!"

Wang Dongdong's hair instantly stiffened.

"Of course it's true. It came directly from the group headquarters, and I heard it was the chairman himself who said it."

"That's what the security captain said."

"This matter has even alarmed the chairman?"

Wang Dongdong's eyes widened.

"Hey, that's what the manager said anyway. Just know that this happened, and don't ask any more questions."

The security captain waved his hand.

"understand."

Wang Dongdong nodded quickly.

Knowing too much is not a good thing. He and the deliveryman are just small fry, but the corporation and the Bloody Restaurant are behemoths. Even a small part falling off could crush them.

"Captain, please have a smoke."

He reached for his left pocket, but then, after a moment's thought, reached for his right pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes with a dragon logo.

"Wow, you've struck it rich lately, you're even smoking Lao Longtou cigarettes now."

The security captain exclaimed in surprise.

He was reluctant to give this kind of cigarette as a gift.

"This was specially bought to show my respect to you, but I just haven't had the chance to give it to you yet."

Wang Dongdong originally intended to open the package and hand one out, but after seeing the security captain's expression, he gritted his teeth and simply handed over the whole pack.

"Xiao Liu, the deputy captain is only in the hospital, he's far from dying. You're still young, you'll have plenty of opportunities, so don't be too anxious."

The security captain said meaningfully.

"Hey, Captain, what are you thinking? I'm just unsure about what you just said and wanted to ask for your opinion."

Wang Dongdong said helplessly.

"Oh, I see. I thought you were eager to improve."

The security captain laughed heartily.

"Alright, take this cigarette back. I can't accept something for nothing. I'm afraid it'll shorten my lifespan if I accept such an expensive gift from you for just a few words. Take that pack out of your left pocket."

"hey-hey."

Wang Dongdong smiled sheepishly, then pulled out a pack of cigarettes with a picture of a woman with a fat buttocks printed on it from his left pocket.

"I'm not trying to be mean, but you don't even know how to smoke properly. You're only offering ten-dollar cigarettes. Fat Bo's cigarettes are nowhere near as good as Mother's."

As the security captain spoke, he unceremoniously stuffed the entire pack of cigarettes into his pocket.

"Well, it's really hard to say."

He took out his cigarettes, lit one for himself, and then lit one for Wang Dongdong.

"Although the story is definitely true, and the reward can't be faked, there's something fishy about it."

The security captain took a puff of his cigarette and said.

"How to say?"

"We've been catching delivery drivers for a while now, haven't we?"

"That's what the security captain said."

"OK."

Wang Dongdong nodded.

Since he started working as a security guard, he has clashed with the deliverymen of the Bloody Restaurant several times, with both sides winning and losing.

"When did the company specifically issue a statement about this matter and set such a generous reward?"

The security captain added.

"That's not the case."

"Others may be afraid of bloody restaurants, but we aren't. Since it was personally ordered by the chairman, why not issue a document?"

Since the Metropolitan has granted the Bloody Restaurant the power of mandatory delivery, there will naturally be corresponding checks and balances.

"Yes, now that you mention it, something does seem a bit off."

Wang Dongdong nodded repeatedly.

"So, I think this reward is a bit too hot to handle. You're still young, so you can take a chance if you want. As for me, I'm too old, so I won't get involved in this."

The security captain walked away with a cigarette dangling from his lips and his hands behind his back.

"You walk slowly."

Wang Dongdong watched him walk away, then stood there lost in thought.

He certainly wanted the reward; he couldn't afford a three-bedroom apartment even if he worked his whole life.

But the security captain's words also make sense; there is indeed something strange about this matter.

People like him, who come to the city to work without any connections, are likely to die mysteriously if they get involved in such murky matters.

"But that's a house."

Wang Dongdong's eyes revealed longing.

People from the countryside who don't move to the city have no idea what owning a house means.

That's wealth, that's face, that's the future, that's everything.

"I'm a security guard, and I love eating bear-shaped cookies."

Suddenly, his cell phone rang.

"Xiao Ba? Why is this kid calling me in broad daylight?"

Wang Dongdong found the number odd, but he still answered the call.

"Hey, I'm at work, what do you want calling me for?"

When he called his cousin, his voice suddenly became stronger.

"Second brother, I had someone shave my head."

Wang Xiaoba said with a sob in his voice.

"What?! Who did this? Was it someone from town?"

Wang Dongdong was furious.

Everyone in their town knows that Wang Xiaoba is under Wang Dongdong's protection. Shaving Wang Xiaoba's hair is the same as shaving Wang Dongdong's hair.

Is it because Wang Dongdong has been in the city for too long that those bastards in town have started to get cocky?

"No, we met at the Gaga Shuang Bathhouse. He wanted to talk to you."

Wang Dongdong's voice gradually faded into the distance.

"Long time no see! How's your guard duty going lately?"

A male voice, both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar, rang out.

"Who do you want to play?"

Wang Dongdong said bluntly.

Since he met him at the Gaga Shuang Bathhouse, he must be from outside the city, and he wasn't afraid of outsiders.

"Can't recognize me? Then touch your bald scalp and see if you can remember."

The male voice said jokingly.

"Ok?"

Wang Dongdong touched his bald patches, and memories surfaced.

"Are you the deliveryman for that bloody restaurant?"

he blurted out.

"Correct answer, but no reward."

Liu Zheng said.

"Hey, we did have a fight, but that was all work. If you want revenge, just come to me. What's the point of contacting my family?"

Wang Dongdong said angrily.

"Let me tell you, you can't use him to coerce me. If you're going to kill me, then kill me now. I don't believe you don't have any relatives or friends. I'll find them one by one. Don't worry, Xiao Ba, I promise I'll make sure they die a more miserable death than you."

He said in a sinister tone.

"Second brother, I believe you! Ah!"

Wang Xiaoba suddenly interrupted, then let out a scream before stopping abruptly.

"Would you believe me if I said it was a coincidence?"

"I'll believe you if you kill your mother."

Wang Dongdong sneered.

"Now I know where your cousin learned his swear words. Is your family all so aggressive in their speech?"

Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, everyone in the town knows that the Wang family is tough as nails and even tougher as a mule."

Wang Dongdong said proudly.

"I think your hair is still harder, otherwise you would have been wiped out long ago. Okay, let's get back to the point. I really came to the Gaga Shuang Bathhouse on business and then I ran into your cousin. If he hadn't been looking at me, I wouldn't have been able to grab him."

He said.

"Damn it, I told this kid to keep a low profile once he leaves town, but he won't listen."

Wang Dongdong cursed.

He knew Liu Zheng had no reason to lie about such a thing, and he also knew his cousin's character.

"He's definitely not the only one looking at you, why did you single him out?"

he questioned.

"Isn't that obvious? Your family's unconventional hair is outstanding among humanoid creatures in the entire metropolis. If I don't arrest him, who else should I arrest?"

Liu Zheng said bluntly.

"Hmph, we admit defeat this time. What do you want?"

Wang Dongdong asked.
