Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"okay."

He crawled out of the crater, and where the monk Dade had just been, there was now another large crater.

As for the virtuous monk himself, naturally there is no trace of his remains.

"I don't know whether this situation means they're dead or alive."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

According to the descriptions in real-world works of art, such electronic life forms should all have data backups.

However, judging from the other party's actions, it seems that the death of the prosthetic body is not insignificant; it's as if it's already dead.

After looking around, it seemed there wasn't much to clean up; most of the things that could be picked up had been blown up.

After thinking for a moment, he swept the remaining golden fragments of the old monk into the legendary takeout box.

It's something that survived an air raid, so it should, maybe, perhaps be of some use, right?

In reality, gold leaf isn't used to make food. These gold statues must be even more high-end than gold leaf, right?

"Speaking of which, shouldn't the Public Security Bureau have an emergency phone number?"

Back in the tank, Liu Zheng seemed to be deep in thought.

"Yes, I have."

The nightingale replied.

Do you have any acquaintances in the Public Security Bureau?

"There is one, but his position is not high; he's just a deputy section chief."

"The nightingale thought for a moment and said."

"That's quite tall. Hmm, seeing you eat so many potatoes, I almost forgot you're a young lady from a wealthy family."

Silver Wolf risked his life to become a deputy section chief, but Nightingale called him nothing more than a nobody, which is somewhat ironic.

"It's quite big, would you like to touch it?"

The nightingale puffed out its chest.

"Forget it, I'm afraid you'll smear my face with snakes later."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"By the way, is that person you know reliable?"

"It's hard to say. We met while playing board games, so we can only be considered ordinary friends."

Nightingale shook her head.

"Then let's keep it as a backup plan. I'll make a call."

Liu Zheng dialed Silver Wolf's number.

"what's up?"

Silver Wolf answered instantly.

"That's it"

He briefly explained the story of the female divers.

"I want to cause some trouble for those monks, but I don't know which department to contact."

"If the road surface is damaged, of course you should contact the sanitation department."

Silver Wolf asked.

"That makes sense, but can the sanitation department really control those monks?"

Liu Zheng asked doubtfully.

In the metaverse, there shouldn't be a need for a sanitation department to manage it, right?

"If they can't manage it, someone else will. They can just send a letter requesting cooperation from other departments."

"Okay, so how should I inform the sanitation department?"

he asked.

Did you leave any loose ends?

Silver Wolf asked.

"I think should not be?"

"Well, it doesn't really matter, since you work at the Bloody Restaurant. You don't need to worry about this; I'll notify the sanitation department."

"Silver Wolf said."

"Alright. So, is this matter under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau?"

Liu Zheng asked again.

“The Public Security Bureau is certainly involved in kidnapping citizens. However, I am not familiar with the people in the Public Security Bureau.”

Silver Wolf replied.

"Then I'll think of another way."

It seems we still need to have Nightingale try to make contact.

"Yes. Come over for dinner sometime. I recently got some good meat; your sister-in-law is a great cook."

"Silver Wolf said."

"Is this some kind of doxxing?"

Liu Zheng said, half-jokingly.

“If the city hall employees don’t have strong backgrounds, they generally won’t eat human flesh, and if they do, they won’t do it openly.”

"Silver Wolf said."

"why?"

"Aren't you a member of the Brotherhood of Humans yourself? Why do you say that?"

Silver Wolf said irritably.

"Ahaha, I forgot, I forgot."

That's true. Most of the city hall's full-time employees are human. It doesn't matter if you offend one person, but it's a bit unnecessary to offend the whole group.

With so many races in the metropolis, humans are far from ranking high on the must-eat list.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zheng nodded to Nightingale.

"Call your friend."

"Okay, master."

"It is Nightingale," she said in a soft, meek voice.

"Can you control your husband? She's being a bit too dramatic today."

Liu Zheng said to the sea woman speechlessly.

“My status in the family isn’t as high as yours, so I can’t control her.”

The female diver said calmly.

"How did I gain a higher status? Wait, where did I get a family from?"

He came to his senses and said.

While the two were bickering, Nightingale had already made a phone call.

"Long time no see, Godlike gamble."

She spoke into the phone.

"What are you talking about, a card-playing genius? Didn't we play cards together just two weeks ago?"

"I can't believe it," said one of the gods over there, asking curiously.

"Oh, really? Well, being with someone who's such a troublemaker has messed up my sense of time."

Nightingale glanced at Liu Zheng, who rolled his eyes.

"Weren't you and that host a couple? What, you changed partners? If that's the case, I'll go after her."

"God's acupuncture," Shen Yi said excitedly.

"No, we've added another person. Now the three of us are together, and we're doing quite well."

"That's what the nightingale said in a very serious tone."

"Can we add another one? I'm also very good at managing my finances."

"God said persistently."

"Come on, with your slovenly appearance, if you weren't a fire elf hybrid, you'd be even dirtier."

"Moreover, triangles are the most stable shape, while parallelograms are too easily deformed."

Nightingale complained.

"Hey, are you calling me so late at night just to expose my shortcomings? If so, I'm hanging up now."

"I'm so dissatisfied," Shen said.

"Haha. Let's get serious. I need your help with something."

"The nightingale said."

"What is it? Let me tell you, I won't do anything illegal or disorderly, unless you or that host have sex with me."

"God's acupuncture," said one of the experts.

"Sure, I could fire a hundred shots at you, let alone just one."

The nightingale readily agreed.

"Hey, hey, I wasn't talking about 'playing with fire,' damn it, what a woman who loves to play word games."

God suddenly cried out.

"That's your own fault. Come to think of it, you're not short of money, so why don't you go out and have some fun? Even the brothels on the black market would welcome a deputy section chief like you, wouldn't they?"

"The nightingale asked."

"No. My pure and beautiful body cannot be tainted by such a dirty relationship."

God's Choice decisively refused.

"Isn't it dirty to ask a friend to do 'that kind of thing' in exchange for helping them with something?"

Nightingale complained.

"That's different. I know you're attracted to my intelligence, but you just want me to conquer you by force. We have an emotional foundation."

The words of God are absolutely certain.

"Maybe we should just forget about it?"

Nightingale looked at Liu Zheng.

"Just bear with it a little longer, just bear with it a little longer, for the sake of the Ama (female diver)."

Liu Zheng reassured her.

"Alright, that was a lucky draw, stop being so frivolous. Do me a favor, you can pick one card randomly from my limited edition deck."
