Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Thank you so much. By the way, Brother Hei, what's that deputy director's name?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"this one"

Black Skull hesitated.

"If it's inconvenient, then forget it. I'll find out myself and won't make things difficult for you, Brother Hei."

He said considerately.

"Oh, that's not difficult at all. I was just trying to remember its full name. Okay."

“Its name is Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemuhwem Osas.”

The black skull uttered a string of syllables as if reciting a tongue twister.

"What the hell?"

Liu Zheng's expression changed to o.0 again?

"I knew you wouldn't remember. I'll read it again. This time you'll hear me clearly."

The black skull read it again at a slower pace.

"Did you remember it clearly this time?"

it asked.

"That's about right. Do you usually refer to it by its full name?"

He squinted and asked.

"How could that be? We only call him by his full name in formal occasions. In normal times, we usually call him Director Wu or Director Osas."

"That's what the black skull said."

"Okay. Thanks, Blackie."

"Well, you decide for yourself. Just do your best. What will happen to the others if you sacrifice yourself to save one person?"

The black skull gave one more instruction and then hung up the phone.

"Who should be saved and who shouldn't be saved?"

Liu Zheng shook his head.

He doesn't understand so much, he just acts based on his feelings.

An hour is neither a long nor a short time.

To make the most of this hour, the order in which you make the calls is very important.

Liu Zheng's first call was undoubtedly to 4399.

"what's up?"

4399's tone still sounded like a robot.

My tree friend is in a little trouble.

He briefly explained the cause and effect.

"Let me ask first."

4399 said.

"it is good."

After hanging up, Liu Zheng called Silver Wolf again.

"Brother-in-law, there's something I need to tell you."

He recounted the story again.

"I know Lao Hei best in the sanitation department. I'll try to find out more for you, but the chances are slim."

Silver Wolf said after listening.

"Okay, thank you, brother-in-law."

For the third call, Liu Zheng called Wang Pai.

"You don't have a crush on me, do you? Just so you know, I just don't want to go on blind dates, and my sexual orientation is perfectly normal."

Ace said warily.

"Don't worry, my sexual orientation is only more normal than yours."

He said speechlessly.

He had always been wary of the wild values ​​of these metropolitan residents, but now they were the ones taking precautions against him.

"Oh, that's good. What do you need me for? Why didn't that security guard let you in?"

Ace breathed a sigh of relief.

"With you in charge, would he dare not release it? It must be for something else."

Liu Zhengxian flattered him and then talked about the plane trees.

"I don't know anyone from the sanitation department."

Ace scratched his head on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, I don't know anyone outside of the Public Security Department."

He exposed his own shortcomings.

"It's okay, thanks."

"It's okay, I'll continue eating my takeout."

The ace probed.

"Eat, eat."

Liu Zheng smiled and hung up the phone.

This second-generation hobbit is quite fun; he's very similar to a homebody boyfriend he knows in real life.

He was about to make his fourth call when the number 4399 called.

"Things are a bit complicated."

4399 got straight to the point.

"How to say?"

“That Osas likes to keep humans as pets and is very close to the hybrid faction, so he doesn’t get along well with us who refuse to keep pets.”

4399 said.

"Is there any roundabout way? For example, finding a middleman?"

A friend's enemy is not necessarily my enemy; there are always those social butterflies who get along well with everyone.

How much are you willing to pay?

4399 asked.

"As best as I can."

Liu Zheng replied.

"We did contact an intermediary, but the price they asked for was extremely high. I won't tell you the specifics; it involves internal city hall matters."

"After discussion, if you insist on saving that tree, we will assign you another task, deducting your previous contributions."

4399 said.

"What mission?"

“We previously shut down a human breeding farm under the pretext of illegal operation, rescuing a group of people. Among them was a girl who was quite talented and had a strong learning ability. So we registered her, let her go to school, and after she graduated, we arranged for her to pass the exam and become a formal employee of the city hall.”

“We originally wanted to make her a brand, but she fell for the 'mixed-race' guy’s charm and defected to the other side. Not only did she defect, but she also took a lot of our data as a pledge of allegiance.”

4399's tone was unusually fluctuating.

“We’ve clashed with the ‘mixed-race faction’ several times over this matter, and it was only through mediation that we were able to temporarily stop. But we have always considered this a disgrace.”

"That woman probably thinks the storm has passed and has started appearing in public again. It's time to erase this shame."

"And you are the most suitable candidate."

It's perfectly normal for someone from the Bloody Restaurant to kill someone, even if they're a full-time employee of the city hall.

What? You suspect he was instructed by someone?

Then send someone to the Bloody Restaurant and ask them to hand over the people to cooperate with the investigation.

"Do you have enough time?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"We can kill the people later; let's deal with the tree issue first."

4399 said.

Okay, then.

His words came to an abrupt halt because the caller ID showed that Ace was calling him again.

"Excuse me, let me take a call."

He said to 4399.

"it is good."

4399 hung up the phone on their own initiative.

"Have you finished your takeout?"

Liu Zheng laughed.

"I didn't finish it, it was so awful. I could make it better with my feet. I'm going to post a bad review online."

Ace said indignantly.

"Haha. Shall I have someone make one and send it to you?"

"No, no, no, I can't afford to order takeout from your Bloody Restaurant."

The ace was so scared he almost stuttered.

He's not like his father, the Planeswalker who can slap a dragon to death. If he were to be delivered takeout by the Bloody Restaurant, he'd be half-dead, if not dead.

"Haha, don't worry, it's not from our restaurant. It's a cooking team I know, they're really good at making soup."

Liu Zheng laughed loudly.

"Oh, okay. Then make four dishes, one soup, one dessert, and two appetizers. I don't like poultry, so I want mushroom soup, and for the dessert, don't make it too sweet, preferably iced."

The ace stated his requirements.

"Okay, I'll bring it to you personally when it's ready."

"You're actually a pretty nice person."

Ace was somewhat moved.

"Hmm, this 'friend card' came a bit out of the blue. By the way, why did you call me?"

He steered the conversation back on track.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I asked around for you, and my uncle's daughter-in-law's uncle's classmate is now a deputy director in the Ministry of Finance. If he gets involved, he should be able to resolve your tree friend's problem."

Ace said.

"Ministry of Finance?"

Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment.

This relationship is quite convoluted in many ways.

Chapter 600 A son-in-law is equal to half a son; marrying two daughters equals one son.
