Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng arrived at the entrance of the "Red Witch" board game arcade.

This is a four-story Gothic-style building with a huge bronze statue on the spire at the top.

It was a witch riding a broomstick, wearing a wizard's hat and an oversized cloak.

And the very top of the tower was directly opposite her anus.

Ouch, it looks painful.

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning struck Liu Zheng squarely from the sky.

The aroma of roasted meat filled the air, and wisps of black smoke rose from his body.

Before Liu Zheng could react, his entire body was paralyzed.

Several minutes later, after the new flesh pushed over his charred shell, he recovered from the numbness.

"I didn't swear an oath, so why was I struck by lightning?"

He was very puzzled.

Liu Zheng looked up and saw that the witch's eyes had changed from looking straight ahead to glancing at him sideways.

Okay, he knows why now.

This statue has mind-reading abilities and is incredibly petty.

"I'm sorry, I'm out of my mind and have offended the witch. Please, have mercy on me."

Liu Zheng clasped his hands together, his tone sincere.

The statue remained unmoved.

"Why don't you hit me a few more times to vent your anger?"

he suggested.

No sooner had he finished speaking than three bolts of lightning struck simultaneously.

He was completely burnt now.

After a long while, Liu Zhengcai, now a dwarf, crawled out of the ash heap.

"Cough cough cough."

He coughed violently, choking on the rising ashes.

"Hee hee hee."

Liu Zheng seemed to hear cheerful laughter.

He looked at the statue again, but the witch was already looking ahead.

"call."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Before even entering the store, I was attacked by the signboard. What's going on?

Liu Zheng was speechless.

However, this also reminded him not to speak carelessly when he sees statues or anything like that, because who knows if they are alive?

He first ate a handful of dried fish to restore his normal weight, and then walked into the store.

Upon entering the board game arcade, the first floor is a large hall.

There were some sofas, chairs, and tables inside.

There were also many cabinets around, filled with boxes containing various murder mystery games and board games.

All the furniture is in a retro style and looks quite expensive.

Liu Zheng even suspected that these were genuine antiques.

"Welcome to the 'Red Witch' Board Game Center. What kind of game would you like to play?"

The receptionist, dressed in a pure black maid outfit, asked with a smile.

Her skin was so pale it was almost transparent, and her red veins were faintly visible.

This is strange, because normally what you can see through the skin are veins.

The veins are purple or blue in color.

However, Liu Zheng didn't pay much attention to it. Maybe the other person was a vampire who had just finished drinking blood?

In this world, the least strange thing is strangeness itself.

"Hello, I'm a deliveryman from Bloody Restaurant, here to deliver some food."

He introduced himself.

"Okay, could you tell me the name of the person who placed the order?"

"That's what the receptionist asked."

"Haenyeo."

"Oh, it was ordered by a female diver. She's carrying her book right now, so she probably can't pick it up. Why don't you wait a moment, or I can give it to her?"

"That's what the receptionist said."

How much longer until she finishes teaching this book?

Liu Zheng asked.

He had played quite a few board games and knew that bringing a script meant acting as a script murder mystery game host.

"This is an emotional book, it's relatively short, and it should take about an hour."

The receptionist checked and said.

"Okay, I'll wait a bit."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Okay. Which activity would you like to do during this time?"

"That's what the receptionist asked."

"Uh, thanks, but I'm not really interested in playing."

"Sorry, you can't stay in this building if you don't play board games."

The receptionist said with a smile.

"Then I'll wait outside, okay?"

Liu Zheng was about to get up as he spoke.

"Sorry, you can't leave the building unless you play board games."

The receptionist's smile widened, revealing two sharp fangs.

Chapter 85 Playing Chess with Your Bones

Good grief, so this is the minimum spending requirement?

Judging from the way the front desk is acting, it's definitely not an option not to play.

He simply sat down on the sofa and leaned back in a relaxed, reclining posture.

What kind of projects do you offer here?

Liu Zheng spoke in a tone reminiscent of someone going to prison.

"We are the largest board game arcade in the city. We have all the games that other places have, and we also have games that other places don't have."

The receptionist put away her fangs and came over, pouring him a cup of black tea.

"Then let's go fishing."

He said.

"Guest, this is a board game cafe, and we only offer board games."

"I'm talking about board games, the kind where you shoot nets and cannonballs to catch fish and earn points."

Liu Zheng gestured.

"Sir, that's not a board game either."

The receptionist maintained her smile.

"On what basis do you assume its species?"

"It's played on the table, it's a game, so how can it not be a board game?"

He spoke with absolute certainty, determined to vindicate fishing game machines.

"Guest, you will be punished if you cause trouble."

The receptionist's smile gradually faded.

"How to punish?"

Liu Zheng looked at her slender waist and asked.

"Suck it dry and make it into a carpet."

The receptionist pointed to the ground.

He looked down at the ground and noticed that the concentric circles were actually flattened heads.

"That won't work, I'm allergic to dust."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Then please don't be unreasonable, guests."

"Alright, alright, how about we play Gomoku then?"

He said.

"Backgammon?"

The receptionist was stunned.

"To say that Gomoku doesn't count as a board game is a bit of an overstatement."

"If it goes too far, I'll turn on you."

Liu Zheng took out his teething stick and started tapping it repeatedly.

"Tindaros Hound!"

The receptionist was so frightened that she bared her long fangs.

"Who are you?"

she asked in a deep voice.

"He's just a deliveryman. Hurry up, are you still playing or not?"

Liu Zheng urged.

"Since you have a request, we will do our best to fulfill it. However, we do not have a set of Gomoku in stock. Please wait a moment while I go and buy one."

"That's what the receptionist said helplessly."

"Why buy anything else? There's already something ready-made."

"Uh, I don't understand what the guest means."

"Let's use what we have on hand and make one right away."

He pulled out his boning knife and chopped off the tip of one of the tentacles.

Trim off the excess parts and round off the edges and corners, and a chess piece is done.

“My bones are white, so I’m considered a white piece. If you dye your bones black, then you’re considered a black piece, and you can move first.”

"Wow, you got a great deal."
