Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Fortunately, he forgot about it himself, otherwise he would have given it to the Sphinx last time.

"Human, where did you hide our dried fish?"

Black Clover asked angrily.

"I've already stored it in my storage space, so even if you kill me, you won't be able to get it out."

Liu Zheng said smugly.

"So, if you want to eat dried fish, you have to be a good kitty. Understand?"

"Hmph, it's just two dried fish. Take it or leave it."

The black tabby cat proudly raised its head.

"Big brother, but I want to eat it."

"Silver gradient said weakly."

"Shut up! Cats should have their pride. How can they be so easily manipulated by despicable humans?"

The black tabby raised its paw and smacked the silver shaded cat.

"Have you forgotten how many cats have been killed because they were greedy for human cat food, canned cat food, cat treats, cat meals, and cat toys?"

As it talked, it started drooling.

"Well, in short, cats need to be independent and free. They absolutely cannot befriend humans just because of a little favor."

It paused for a moment before speaking.

"I have more than just these two dried fish."

Liu Zheng's lips curled slightly.

"Have you ever heard of the sewers? I'm good brothers with the fishermen who raise fish in them. I carry these big fish, one sack after another."

"Didn't you want to play cat and mouse? The black rats in the sewers are so big, and they can even climb up to the ceiling. It'll be so exciting to chase them."

He gestured as he spoke.

"Tch, there are rats here too, much bigger than yours."

Black Fox Flower stubbornly retorted.

"Do your rats have any meat? Can your rats huddle together? Can your rats reproduce in nests, and you can't catch them all?"

Liu Zheng asked dismissively.

"Hmph! You disgusting human, I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"

Black Tabby couldn't refute it, and could only puff out its cheeks and brandish its claws in anger.

"Don't be so fierce. I'm actually a very nice person, otherwise I wouldn't have so many cat friends."

"Really? Do they look like us?"

"Silver shaded," asked curiously.

"That's different. One is a calico cat, and it's the one that makes the dried fish. The other is a black cat, and it's a novelist."

Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"Calico cat!"

The silver shaded kitten let out an excited cry.

"Um, could you introduce me to it?"

After calling out, it said somewhat awkwardly.

"Meow!"

The black cat hissed at the silver shaded cat.

"What do you mean, second brother?"

Just as Liu Zheng thought it was about to promote some kind of cat-sis ideology again, it continued.

"Trying to steal the mother cat from the boss, huh?"

"Uh"

Liu Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Then you should go first, boss, and then I'll go."

Silver said in a fawning tone.

"You're smart enough to know your place. You don't need to go for it. Isn't there another black one? You can have that one."

Black Fox Flower said with satisfaction.

"That black cat is male."

He interjected.

"A male? No problem, you can still have him."

The black tabby cat is indifferent to the Dao.

"actually."

The silver gradient seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"Dislike it? If you dislike it, I'll take that black cat too."

Black Tabby's eyes widened.

"No problem, no problem, male is fine too."

Silver gradient quickly said.

"Human, hand over those two cats to us, and give us one cat and one sack of dried fish, and I'll spare your life."

Black Fox Flower looked at Liu Zheng and said proudly.

"Giving it to you is no problem, but I don't have it with me right now."

Liu Zheng said with difficulty.

"Then you go die."

The black tabby and the silver gradient's eyes turned dangerous again.

"This cat king, oh, and this cat second king."

The silver gradient nodded in satisfaction.

"Anyway, I can't beat you guys, so you can come out with me. If I don't keep my promise, you can kill me then. How about that?"

He proposed a solution.

"Um"

Black tabby looked somewhat hesitant.

"Anyway, if you leave it here, you'll just be playing with other collections for hundreds of years without getting tired of it, but after thousands of years you'll get tired of it, right?"

"We don't know when the next person will come, and they might not even find you."

Liu Zheng seized the opportunity to build the railway.

"Second King, what do you think?"

Black tabby looked at silver gradient.

"Boss."

"Ok?"

The black tabby glared at it.

"Oh, Your Majesty. I think it's fine, of course. In the end, I'll still listen to you."

Silver gradient quickly changed its tune.

"Ah."

After tilting its head and thinking for a while, the black tabby suddenly raised its paw and pointed at Liu Zheng.

"Hmph! Human, remember this. I wasn't persuaded by you; I came up with this myself."

It said in a serious tone.

"That's right, that's right. How could a stupid human like me come up with such a great idea?"

Liu Zheng said humbly.

"Meow!"

"Meow!"

The black tabby and the silver shaded cat cried out at the same time, and then transformed into two golden beams of light that rushed towards him.

Liu Zheng quickly raised his four tentacles to shield his chest.

Two beams of golden light, carrying a brutal impact, smashed his four tentacles and sternum into pieces.

"Good grief, they've already taken the bait and they're still pulling this stunt, do they think I haven't prepared enough bait?"

He grinned.

The blood stained the water, and the stench of blood seemed to travel farther than in the air.

"Ow!"

"Roar!"

"Who dares to act so presumptuously in this place!"

"More fishermen are here, brothers, shall we go see what's going on?"

A multitude of sounds reached Liu Zheng's ears.

"Damn, we've stirred up a hornet's nest."

His hair stood on end, and ignoring the pain, he pulled hard on the fishing line while simultaneously using his hooves to swim upwards.

"What? You're not going to fish anymore?"

Si Xue's voice came from above.

"This is not like you at all. I thought you would turn the lake upside down."

She teased.

"Ahem, that was when I first arrived and was ignorant. Now I'm much more mature."

Liu Zheng said shamelessly.

"Really? Then you seem useless."

Si Xue's tone turned cold.

"Of course, whether to be steady or impulsive depends on the job requirements. If the boss needs me to be steady, I will be steady. If the boss needs me to be impulsive, I will act immediately."

He immediately changed his tune.

"Glib."

Si Xue said calmly.

Then a tremendous force came from above. Liu Zheng only had time to hold onto the two golden lights tightly before his body broke through the water and soared into the air.

He looked into the lake, and a dozen golden lights rushed toward the spot where he had just been floating, like sharks that had smelled blood.

"No matter what you do, you always manage to make yourself look so pathetic."

Seeing his miserable state, Si Xue shook her head.

"Because I'm bad at it."

Liu Zheng said nonchalantly.

So what if I'm in a sorry state? As long as I survive, that's all that matters.

If you want to be cool in front of others, you have to suffer in private.
