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

Chapter 777: Chapter 534 Red Ghost: Don’t Deteriorate, Davai Rishi_2

Liu Zheng shrugged and said.

At that time, put some of the money with the doctor, and every time Niu Daji completes a task, give him a part, which can be considered as a benefit for this little brother.

On the other hand, as long as Niu Daji is not stupid, he will definitely do the job well and inherit his political legacy.

Uh, saying it like that seems a bit strange, but that’s about the gist of it.

"You’re just an outsider, is it necessary to do so much for the people here?"

Red Ghost asked.

"People are people, outsiders are people, locals are people, even if you want to differentiate, it’s only during conflicts of interest."

"Right now, I’m in a community of interest with them. The more I help them, the more they help me. Isn’t it foolish not to?"

"Besides, we live once, and if we’re not immortal, isn’t the most important thing to be happy?"

"I did my best to give back to them, and that’s what makes me happy. Seeking benevolence and getting it, why would I complain?"

Liu Zheng finally quoted an ancient text.

"Are you happy?"

Red Ghost looked at the children sharing drinks and snacks, half its face looked sad, the other half joyful.

"Even if one were immortal, the most important thing is still to be happy."

It sighed and said.

"That’s not something I can understand."

Liu Zheng spread his tentacles and said.

Red Ghost smiled and waved to dismiss the iron curtain.

"I accept your answer, so I’ll give you three choices."

"Leave the Metropolis, stay in the Metropolis, or stay in the shelter."

It said.

"Of course, stay in the Metropolis."

Liu Zheng said without hesitation.

Staying in the shelter to play with the kids, he’d be willing, but taking care of them every day is not really his thing.

He’s still a kid himself!

"Alright."

Red Ghost finished speaking, and suddenly a hammer and a sickle appeared in its hand.

It first raised the hammer and smashed it fiercely onto Liu Zheng’s head.

The hammer swung slowly, but Liu Zheng had no intention to dodge it.

To be blunt, if Red Ghost wanted to kill him, just one look and he’d be dead. There’s no need for this effort.

The hammer hit his skull, and Liu Zheng felt himself "flatten" for a moment, his soul experiencing a dull pain, and then everything returned to normal.

"Step aside a bit."

Red Ghost commanded.

"Oh."

He stepped aside and looked at the original spot, only to see a mass of pitch-black sludge forming a humanoid shape on the ground.

The sludge constantly expanded, spreading around, and in just a few seconds, it had grown larger than himself.

"Non-human power isn’t easy to wield, especially that Divine who granted you power. It’s extremely dangerous."

"Every time you use Its power, you get closer to It. Sooner or later, It can directly take you away."

"Of course, City Hall might discover and kill you first."

Red Ghost said as it took out a flamethrower.

Blazing flames spewed out from the nozzle, quickly burning the humanoid mass into a charred mark.

"I’ve already extracted the excess part for you, but this is just a temporary measure. You’d better avoid using Its power as much as you can."

Red Ghost said as it put away the flamethrower.

The so-called "Its power" naturally referred to "Blood and Flesh Rebirth."

"I understand."

Liu Zheng nodded slightly.

If possible, he wouldn’t want to use "Blood and Flesh Rebirth"—did anyone really think losing limbs wouldn’t hurt?

"But there’s something, I’m not sure if it would be a problem."

He told Red Ghost about the Dark Algae.

"It will definitely be a problem."

The latter said flatly.

"Rare species like that inherently attract extra attention from the Divine backing them, let alone someone like you, a rarity among rarities."

"Furthermore, since City Hall doesn’t strictly control the coast, I’m afraid the moment you kill it, a divine decree will descend again."

Red Ghost speculated.

"Then what should I do? I almost rely on Extraordinary Items and Blood and Flesh Rebirth for fighting now. To enhance myself quickly, absorbing the Dark Algae’s power is my only current path."

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

"Is my coat repaired?"

Red Ghost suddenly asked.

"No, but I’ve got the materials. Once I get back, I’ll give it to the Weaving Spider Lady and she can mend it for you."

He replied.

"Then let’s talk when you deliver the coat."

Red Ghost said.

"Alright. By the way, can I get a way to contact you? It’s quite troublesome to ask the sewer for help every time, and it probably doesn’t enjoy it either."

"You can’t contact me. However, I can contact you."

Red Ghost said as it swung the sickle toward his neck.

Liu Zheng felt a chill at the back of his neck and saw his own head being held by Red Ghost.

"Tsk!"

He was taken aback, quickly feeling his head, only to find it firmly attached to his neck.

"This is a bit of your essence, capable of reflecting your state."

"I hope you remember your original intention and don’t betray my trust in you. If you become corrupt, I’ll personally correct this error."

"Also, from now on, whenever you come to the sewer, I’ll sense it, and if I want to see you, I’ll open the door for you."

Red Ghost said.

"Impressive. But since you took my head, shouldn’t you give me some benefit? When I sell ’meat’ in the black market, they at least pay me."

Liu Zheng said shamelessly.

"Nothing, this matter itself is a reward. If you have to ask for a benefit, it’s that those instant-death abilities will hardly work on you."

Red Ghost said.

"That’s it? Fine, I’ll consider it a big discount event."

He pouted.

Red Ghost knew he was just joking, so it didn’t mind.

"Will you return it to me when I leave the Metropolis?"

Liu Zheng asked again.

Though he didn’t know what "essence" was for, he instinctively felt that losing it would surely have a negative impact.

"As long as you shout ’Davariich’ before leaving the Metropolis, I’ll return it to you."

Red Ghost said.

The implication was that if Liu Zheng forgot or didn’t get a chance to shout, there’d be nothing that could be done.

"Okay, you’re the boss, it’s your call."

He shrugged.

A high-level boss like this still willing to reason with him was quite unreasonable in itself.

One of Liu Zheng’s strengths is knowing when to stop.

"Alright, you may leave now."

Red Ghost said.

"Hey, I bought so much, at least give me a cup of coffee?"

He held on to this last bit of stubbornness.

"No, goodbye."

Red Ghost swung a punch at him.

Liu Zheng felt no physical sensation, but everything around him retreated as if he were on a high-speed train.

By the time he came to his senses, he was already by the Underwater River.

"Punched again, weren’t you?"

The Fisherman said gleefully.

"How did you know?"

"Take a look yourself."

The Fisherman pointed at the Underwater River.

Liu Zheng crouched down to look at his reflection in the water and found a clear fist mark on his left cheek.

"Damn!"

He poked it with a tentacle, feeling a sharp pain, and the flesh in that area refused to heal.

"Coming to deliver food and drinks and still getting punched, these big bosses really don’t follow any martial code."

Liu Zheng complained.

"Serves you right, it’s definitely your mouth causing trouble again."

The Fisherman seized the chance to scold him.

"Haha, do you want to hear?"

Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

"No, I don’t want to. I’m not like you, always inviting trouble."

The Fisherman decisively refused.

"Tsk, boring middle-aged man. What about the fly people?"

He asked.

"I’ve sent them to dig shit."

"Alright, have them send it directly to the ’Imhotep’ Clinic after they finish. If they don’t know, they can call and ask me."

Liu Zheng said.

"Why should I listen to your bratty orders?"

The Fisherman said discontentedly.

"Because I can bring enough people to play with the Sea Girl. Guess if it’s just the four of us, would the Sea Girl even bother coming down?"

He asked leisurely.

"Hmph. You’d better manage to lure the Sea Girl down, or I’ll roast you and feed you to the fish I prepared."

The Fisherman threatened.

"You can count on me. I’m off then."

Liu Zheng patted the Fisherman’s shoulder and, before the latter could get angry, rolled into the sewer passage.
