Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Isn't it because you, the big shot, are here?"

He said with a grin.

"You took my things and now you want me to be your bodyguard? Dream on."

Even cattle and horses are too lazy to make excuses to refuse.

"This is the boss's side job. You can get involved to improve your reputation, since you'll be doing business with the restaurant in the future."

"Besides, these kinds of auctions are rare. If there's anything you like at the auction, I can help you bid for it."

Liu Zheng patiently and skillfully guided him.

"Um"

The oxen and horses pondered upon hearing this.

"Here's another ten thousand for your trouble."

He pulled out the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Damn it, I don't even know if I'm working for the restaurant or for you now."

Despite saying that, the ox and horse still stood up.

"Let's go, let's hurry up, I need to go back and get some rest."

It shouted.

What the heck is "nourishing essence sleep"?

"Didn't the Nile tell you? Sufficient sleep is crucial for maintaining sperm motility."

"The ox and horse said."

"No."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

Why is the Nile doctor telling him this? Even if he really married Sesa, the mummy can't have children.

Otherwise, the Nile doctor would have already multiplied his lineage long ago. Even if he didn't want to, Ra would have forced him to propagate his race.

"Hmph, looks like you're not so popular after all."

Niu and Ma felt they had won back a point and showed a smug smile.

"Yes, yes, how could I compare to you, sir?"

While giving a perfunctory reply, Liu Zheng made a phone call to Guokou Tangzi.

Now that she can leave the restaurant with cattle and horses as bodyguards, she doesn't need to order takeout anymore; she can save it for next time.

After finishing the call, the man, his ox, and his horse left the break room and entered the delivery lane.

"Huh? Why is the delivery lane so short now?"

Niu Ma asked the same question as Liu Zheng.

"Oh, I helped it with something, and now we're on good terms."

He explained.

"You don't even spare a single passageway. Next time, you're not going to tell me the lounge has become your harem too, are you?"

The oxen and horses said as if they had seen a ghost.

"Probably not."

Liu Zheng said, not entirely certain.

To be honest, he didn't know what was going on with the food delivery channel either.

Is it part of the restaurant, or a separate entity?

"I can't say for sure, you're really something else."

There was a hint of fear in the eyes of the cattle and horses as they looked at him, though it was unclear what they were afraid of.

As we exited the passage, it was already dark, and the blood moon hung high in the sky, like a basin filled with blood.

"Why do I feel like it's always a full moon?"

Liu Zheng looked at the blood moon and asked.

Have you seen it in any other form?

The ox and horse countered with a question.

"Well, not really."

He answered honestly.

After all, he had only seen the blood moon for the past few days.

"Then you still ask?"

The ox and horse rolled their eyes.

"The moon I see from outside is incomplete, like it's been bitten."

Liu Zheng gestured,

"Really? What color is it?"

The ox and horse asked curiously.

"Pale".

"That should look pretty good. Anyway, our moon has always looked like this; only its position changes, its appearance basically doesn't change. Hmm, it's hard to say."

The ox and horse seemed to have thought of something.

"what happened?"

Now it was his turn to be curious.

"With such a strong sense of curiosity, do you want to be an adventurer? Be careful, the more you know, the faster you'll die."

"Tell me, I know enough secrets, one more won't make a difference."

Liu Zheng said he didn't care.

I'm bad!

The ox and horse glared at each other.

"If you don't want to talk, then don't. Why are you getting so worked up?"

He pursed his lips.

"That's all because of you. Hurry up and leave, you may not be afraid of the dark, but I am."

Niu Ma lightly kicked Liu Zheng's butt.

The two arrived at the clinic, only to find that not only were the doors closed, but the Sphinx was not guarding the outside either.

"Is nothing going to happen?"

Both of them were startled.

"Doctor, doctor, are you home?"

Liu Zheng immediately went up and knocked on the door.

"Liu Zheng?"

A moment later, the Nile doctor's voice came from inside the door.

"it's me."

He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied.

What are you doing here so late?

The Nile doctor was somewhat puzzled.

"The auction has been moved to tonight, and I've also taken on an extra mission, so I'd like to borrow some extraordinary items from you. Also, I've taken on a job from the gravedigger to find fire, and I'd appreciate your help with that as well."

"Oh right, my boss Niu Ma came along too."

Liu Zheng said.

"Just a moment."

After hearing his words, Dr. Nile did not open the door immediately.

Although his words were mostly accurate, there were too many strange and unpredictable things that appeared at night, so Dr. Nile had to take extra precautions.

"Don't move around too much later. As long as you don't mean any harm, we won't hurt you."

The Nile doctor gave instructions.

"Ok."

Liu Zheng nodded, and Niu Ma had no objections.

Soon, a ray of scorching sunlight shone through the cat's eye.

The beam of light first shone on Liu Zheng, then passed through his body without any obstruction.

Then the light shone on the cattle and horses, but nothing unusual happened.

"come in."

After the tests were completed, Dr. Nile opened the door and welcomed them into the clinic.

Chapter 557 Ox and Horse: Did I scare you?

"Where is the Sphinx?"

Liu Zheng asked as soon as he entered the room.

"It hasn't fully recovered its strength yet, and the nights aren't very peaceful, so I put it in the clinic."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"That's good. I was worried something might have happened. Are you asleep now?"

"I just gave it a sunbath, it should be sleeping here now."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Oh, then I won't bother it."

He nodded.

"When the two of you are together, I'm worried something might happen."

"The Nile doctor complained."

Niu Ma was already quite capable of causing trouble, and Liu Zheng was even more of a born troublemaker. With these two idea kings together, he couldn't even imagine how much more work the city hall would have to do.

"I'm never free of worries."

Liu Zheng exposed his own shortcomings.

"Hmm, that's true. So, what do you want from me?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

The cleaning staff had finished their shift, Sesha was asleep, and he was too lazy to bother with any of the usual hospitality formalities.

"Two things."

"First, the gravedigger asked me to help him find high-quality fire, so I'd like to ask you for some Yang Flame."

Liu Zheng got straight to the point.

"What would the gravedigger need high-quality fire for?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

"He said his fire wasn't enough and he was a bit cold. I looked at him, and his true form was a fire skeleton with a large bald patch on top."

Although he spoke in a very abstract way, the Nile doctor still understood roughly what he meant.
