The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?

Chapter 776: Chapter 534 Red Ghost: Do Not Deteriorate, Dawarishi

"Warning, disclosing information related to Hell’s Game is prohibited."

The system notification echoed in Liu Zheng’s mind.

"I can’t say."

He said candidly.

"The Different Space-Time visitors in the Metropolis are many, yet you seem to be more special than them. My power can erase their ’abnormalities,’ but I can’t erase yours."

"I don’t like City Hall, but I dislike uncontrollable variables like you even more. The Metropolis is like a toxic cesspool, but those who want to live can still strive to live."

"After all, that person only wants the Metropolis to exist, but the high-dimensional wills behind you might not feel the same."

"So, when I first met you, I wanted to deal with this trouble as a convenience. But considering that every life is precious, I decided to give you a chance, which you seized."

Red Ghost said plainly.

"I’ve always been good at seizing opportunities, otherwise, I wouldn’t have survived until now."

He bragged.

"Indeed, you seized every opportunity thereafter. So, I decided to give you one more chance."

"Tell me, what is your objective? If you don’t want to say it, I’ll send you back to your original world. If your answer satisfies me, I’ll allow you to stay in the Metropolis."

"But if you lie, then stay in the shelter with us forever. Don’t think of escaping with your methods, they won’t work in front of me."

Red Ghost reached out a fist, and six iron curtains materialized in the air, enclosing Liu Zheng inside.

"Warning, the player is bound by an unknown skill, unable to settle the instance until released."

The system notification followed.

"I knew it."

Unexpectedly, Liu Zheng felt no surprise at this outcome.

The status of the Metropolis is so high that even divine beings must adhere to its rules. An Ancient Time Dragon capable of traversing multiple universes must submit a resignation report, and Red Ghost, as one of the Metropolis’s strongest, detecting and interfering with the system’s functions was expected.

If anything, it’s better to be discovered by Red Ghost than someone else.

"I didn’t come to this world voluntarily; I was just an ordinary person diagnosed with ALS before. The task requires me to survive in this world for more than 72 hours, so I desperately fought to live."

"Eating foods beyond human consumption, doing things beyond human capacity, enduring pains beyond human tolerance, I ended up as this ghostly figure."

"You ask what my purpose is, but I don’t have one. I initially wanted to survive, and I still only want to survive."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

His mental state had long entered a chaotic state; living would be ideal, but dying wouldn’t be unacceptable either.

With his relationship with Red Ghost, having it send him to a cemetery for burial shouldn’t be an issue.

With a Tomb Guardian backing and Red Pig as a bodyguard, he might live more comfortably than he did while alive.

"How much longer do you plan to stay in the Metropolis?"

Red Ghost asked.

"Theoretically, I should be able to leave now."

Liu Zheng said.

"Then why haven’t you left?"

"Because there is still much undone."

He replied.

"Like what?"

"There are too many; I can’t recall them all at once."

Liu Zheng said with a bitter smile.

He finishes one job only to find ten more, like fixing bugs in a novel, the more he fixes, the more they multiply.

"It’s okay, I have plenty of time and patience."

Red Ghost gestured with its hand, and two chairs were pulled to the two’s backs.

"Please sit."

It motioned with its hand.

"Alright."

Seeing no way to refuse, Liu Zheng sat down calmly.

"First of all, my friend Niu Ma has helped me a lot; you could say I owe at least half of my current survival to it."

"So before leaving, I have to do three things for it."

"What three things?"

Red Ghost inquired cooperatively.

"First, help it smoothly leave the Bloody Restaurant."

"Second, help its child with household registration, school, and Citizen Level."

"Third, help its wife solve work-related troubles."

He stated one by one.

"Can you do so much alone?"

"Pretty much, most of it is in the works, just need to proceed step by step."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Continue."

Red Ghost nodded.

"Secondly, Dai Legao is my Extraordinary Items supplier, played a crucial role when I started, its contributions to my survival account for at least a quarter."

"So before leaving, I also have to do two things for it."

"The first is to help it evolve into a Phoenix or something else."

At this, Liu Zheng paused.

"In the shelter, you can speak freely."

Red Ghost said.

"Alright, the second task is, if it evolves into a Phoenix, then I’ll help it smuggle abroad."

He continued.

"And what else?"

"There are a lot more."

Liu Zheng spoke about each person and task to be helped, one by one, until his mouth was parched.

"Gulp, done."

He swallowed as he spoke.

"So many tasks, can you manage them all alone?"

"I’ll try my best; even if I’m forced to leave halfway, at least I tried my best without regret."

"Moreover, I’m not alone; I recently took in a little follower, who seems helpful right now. Even if it can’t handle the tougher issues, it should manage the smaller ones."
