Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Ah."

The little girl responded with a muffled sound.

"Then what are you trying to do? Trying to run away?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"If so, will you report me?"

The little girl looked at him and asked, her face expressionless.

"of course not."

He shook his head.

"really?"

A glimmer of light appeared in the little girl's eyes.

"Such a naughty child, of course I'll hide him and eat him myself slowly."

Liu Zheng deliberately spoke in a sinister tone.

Upon hearing the word "eat," the little girl trembled slightly in fright, but then calmed down.

"Huh? Why aren't you scared anymore?"

This time, it was his turn to be somewhat disappointed.

"Because I know you won't eat me."

The little girl shook her head.

“No one talks so much about food. You and Yoko are both good people.”

she said calmly.

Although Yoko's temper was only a little short-tempered, the man in front of her had a rather perverse sense of humor.

"Then you're still not very knowledgeable. Many people not only like to talk to food, but also like to argue with it."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

Here, we'd like to name a self-proclaimed French aristocratic drunkard who wishes to remain anonymous.

"Oh."

The little girl nodded perfunctorily.

Why aren't you arguing with me anymore?

"I'm out of energy."

The little girl said softly.

From the moment she entered the Hyakki Yagyō Bathhouse, her nerves were constantly on edge, like a spring compressed to its limit.

But after Liu Zheng had just ruined her mental state, she couldn't keep up the good work.

"Your Excellency, time is almost up."

Just as Liu Zheng was about to continue his questioning, Wu Shiyi's voice rang out.

"What's your name?"

He asked the little girl.

"Wan Zi."

"That's what the little girl said."

"Is this your real name or a code name?"

"Code name".

The little girl replied.

"So what is your real name?"

"Xiao Wan".

The little girl hesitated for a moment, but then spoke up.

"No matter what happens, live on. If you can survive until tonight, you might be able to live forever."

Liu Zheng said.

"really?"

A light returned to Xiao Wan's eyes.

"I never lie."

At most, only half the truth is told.

"Can you tell me your name?"

Xiao Wan suddenly said.

“Okay. My code name is Renhe, and my real name is Liu Zheng.”

He said.

"I understand. Mr. Liu Zheng, can you help me survive?"

Xiao Wan asked cautiously.

"what is the benefit?"

Liu Zheng countered with a question.

He wasn't some pushover. It was one thing to cause some trouble while rescuing Jinzi and give Xiaowan a chance to escape, but to specifically rescue her meant he must have had ulterior motives.

"This is all I have."

Xiao Wan took a pendant off her neck and handed it to Liu Zheng.

A diamond-shaped metal fragment was attached to the bottom of the silver chain.

"Hmm, this looks familiar." He took the pendant, and the item description immediately popped up.

Name: Fragment of the Killing Stone (One-time Use)

Type: Items/Miscellaneous Items

Quality: Excellent

"Effect 1: It can cut open the body of any living being and cause it to undergo negative mutations."

"Effect 2: When used as a forging material, it can increase the sharpness of weapons and their lethality against living beings."

"Note: I've said it so many times, I'm not going to turn into a fox!"

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"It really is this thing."

Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

Moreover, the piece that Xiao Wan gave him was much larger than the piece that Guo Kou Tang Zi gave him.

"I don't even know how many pieces of this Killing Stone are there. The system doesn't give any hints. It's not humane at all."

He thought to himself, then returned the pendant to Xiao Wan.

Which department are you in?

Liu Zheng asked.

"I'm in the Service Department."

"Okay. I'll remember what you did. If I have the chance, I'll save you. Until then, you have to do everything you can to survive."

He stared into Xiao Wan's eyes as he spoke.

"Well, I remembered it!"

Xiao Wan nodded vigorously.

"very good."

"Ding!"

Liu Zheng was about to say something when the elevator suddenly started moving and then stopped immediately.

"Live on, and I'll come back for my reward."

He reached out and ruffled Xiao Wan's hair before stepping out of the open elevator doors.

Chapter 383 How could something be so inconvenient?

Did you fall asleep in the elevator?

"Thirteen Yao said, standing outside the elevator."

"I'm sorry, Minister. The elevator was broken, so I was a little late."

Liu Zheng explained.

"Don't talk nonsense. Since I started working at the bathhouse, none of the three of them have ever broken down."

Thirteen rolled her eyes.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these elevators look like they could break down at any moment. While they may be less functional, they are far more durable than real elevators.

"It was a slip of the tongue, it's not broken, it's just a minor malfunction."

He changed his tune.

"is it?"

Thirteen Orphans scrutinized Liu Zheng, seemingly trying to discover some clue.

"Not only did you emerge unscathed from your first elevator ride, but you weren't even a little bit dispirited. As a newcomer, aren't you a bit too capable?"

He said it meaningfully.

These three elevators certainly have the purpose of optimizing the workforce, but they are definitely not intended to kill all the employees.

Generally speaking, taking an elevator for the first time is mainly a test of mental strength.

After all, newcomers are generally not very strong, and even if they are, they can't beat the guests.

To do a good job, mental resilience is even more important.

The most outstanding newcomers that Thirteen Orphans had ever seen would turn pale after their first time riding an elevator.

He had never seen anyone like Liu Zheng, whose face remained calm and whose heart seemed to be racing, and who even appeared to be enjoying himself.

Of course, this was actually a misunderstanding on his part regarding Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng wasn't really enjoying it; he was just a little happy because the payment had arrived.

"Gain the 'Blade Intent Possession' state, which disappears after being triggered three times."

"Blade Intent Possession: Gain a 'Heavenly Dao Sound Killing Style' move. After using it, you will randomly gain another move. Moves can be repeated."

"Current move: Heavenly Dao Sound Kill Style - Only I Can Speak".

"Heavenly Dao Sound Killing Style - Only My Voice: After use, a blade aura is unleashed, and only the player's own voice can exist within the area covered by the blade aura."

Overall, he was satisfied with the reward for the samurai.

Although it wasn't the complete sword technique he wanted most, nor the high-powered attack skill he desperately needed, functional skills were always welcome.

The effect of "Heavenly Sound Killing Flow - I Alone Am Born" may seem narrow, but its application is actually quite broad.

Putting everything else aside, if the Heavenly Path Sound Kill Style wants to unleash its full power, it has to shout out the name of the move.

In case Liu Zheng and the warrior suddenly turn against each other, he can use this move to suppress the other party.

Of course, the other party should also have ways to crack it.

I wonder if this move can also block the gospel of the evil god. If it can, then he will have another trump card up his sleeve.

Did you run into anyone who was on the same train when you got on?
