Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

It has a slender body, is composed of an exoskeleton full of holes, and its interior is filled with glowing smoke.

Its facial contours constantly change, like a wax figure that keeps melting and cooling.

The only things that remain unchanged are its eyes that emit a fiery red light and its protruding jaw.

This creature, which could hardly be called a dog, silently lunged at Liu Zheng with its long, thin, straw-like tongue lolling out.

He couldn't judge its strength, but he could tell from its appearance that it was no pushover.

"Wait a minute, I have this!"

At the critical moment, Liu Zheng took off his honorary homeowner medal and raised it forward.

"Stop!"

The sharp tip of the tongue was only a hair's breadth away from his brow, and Liu Zheng could even feel the phantom pain of his skin being pierced.

"Tindaros, sit down."

The miniature man continued to issue commands.

Tindalos whimpered a few times and then obediently sat down on the floor.

His eyes were fixed on Liu Zheng, filled with a desire to hunt.

"I'll let it go this time for the sake of the homeowners' committee. But think before you speak in the future. Others might not have my good temper."

The miniature man said coldly.

"So how should I say it?"

He humbly sought advice.

"You should say, 'Excuse me, sir, my eyesight is poor, I didn't notice your imposing figure.'"

The miniature man spoke in a dubbed accent.

"puff."

It took Liu Zheng a great deal of effort to suppress the urge to laugh out loud.

"Your art of speaking is truly breathtaking."

he said sincerely.

"Very good, put it there."

The miniature people were very satisfied with his attitude.

Liu Zheng took out the food and placed it on the shoe cabinet by the door.

"Enjoy your meal."

He said politely.

"Wait a minute, do you want to earn some extra money?"

The miniature man called out to him.

Chapter 39 I'm more like a dog walking me

"Extra money?"

Liu Zheng looked at him in surprise.

"I'm very busy today, could you take Tindalos out for some exercise?"

"That's what the miniature man said."

Upon hearing the word "go out," the hunting dog's somewhat dim eyes lit up again.

"Uh, I'm worried that I'm not capable of doing it."

Liu Zheng politely declined.

Is he walking this dog?

This dog is more like a walking dog.

"Don't worry, Tindalos is very well-behaved."

The miniature man gently stroked the hound's paw.

Tindalos whimpered and carefully licked his face with his tongue.

"After all, I am not its owner."

Liu Zheng shook his head again.

Every owner thinks their dog is well-behaved, and even if it bites someone, there must be a reason.

"I can give you a thousand dollars."

"That's what the miniature man said."

"I'm not short of money."

Liu Zheng showed his wallet.

"If you're so rich, why are you delivering food?"

The miniature man was somewhat shocked.

"Experience life. No matter how rich you are, you still have to work."

His face was full of compassion.

"I was narrow-minded. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have insulted you with money."

The miniature man felt deeply ashamed.

"It's okay, I also made some mistakes just now."

Liu Zheng said generously.

"But I still need you to walk my dog."

The miniature man suddenly changed his tone.

You're so stubborn, aren't you?

He glared at the riddle-maker.

If you want to give your dog extra food, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush.

"As long as you have this, Tindalos and its kin will not attack you."

The miniature man struggled to pull a bone whistle out from under the blanket.

Name: Mushisha's Bone Whistle

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: When worn, it can prevent attacks from Tindalos Hounds. There is a chance of it shattering during operation or after time travel."

"Note: How to protect yourself from Tindaros Hounds? A: Drop a bone. B: Crouch down and pick up a stone. C: Obtuse angle."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"

"alright."

Liu Zheng reluctantly accepted the bone whistle.

It seems this dog definitely needs to be walked.

"Thank you so much."

The miniature man glanced at his honorary owner's medal one last time.

"Tindaros is very generous to those it likes."

he reminded.

"How can I make it like me?"

"Tindaros is a good dog."

The miniature man said meaningfully, then closed the door.

Looking at the hunting dog staring intently at him, Liu Zheng felt a chill run down his spine.

He quickly hung the bone whistle around his neck, which made him feel a little better.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he seemed to see a hint of disdain in Tindalos's expression.

"Hey, shall we go?"

Liu Zheng asked tentatively.

"Ow~"

With a howl like a wolf, the hunting dog dashed downstairs.

"Hey, the elevator's over there."

He sighed and quickly chased after them.

The hunting dog was incredibly fast; by the time Liu Zheng reached the entrance of the residential area, it was already squatting there waiting.

The triangular-eyed security guard cowered to one side, looking somewhat afraid of it.

"The owner of apartment 1503 asked me to walk his dog."

Liu Zheng offered an explanation.

"I know, I know. Then go quickly."

The triangular-eyed security guard said repeatedly, not wanting to exchange pleasantries with him at all.

It seems this dog is even more terrifying than he imagined.

"Tindaros, where would you like to go for a stroll?"

Liu Zheng asked.

The hound shook its head.

"Nod if you don't know, shake your head if you don't care."

The hound shook its head again.

"Then let's head to the restaurant."

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Niu Ma didn't say he couldn't wander around outside, he didn't want to stay outside for long without the bonus from the legendary vest.

"Ow?"

The hound howled again.

For some inexplicable reason, Liu Zheng knew it was asking him for directions.

He pointed in the direction of the Bloody Restaurant, and Tindalos lunged forward.

Its shape twisted and changed continuously in the air, and when it landed, it had turned into a colorful smoke trail, which then disappeared into nothingness upon hitting the ground.

The next second, it reappeared fifty meters away.

"Ow!"

The hounds seemed to be telling him to hurry up.

"Sigh, walking a dog without a leash is like the dog walking itself."

Liu Zheng sighed deeply, feeling ashamed.

But even if the miniature man had given him a leash, he wouldn't have dared to put it around the hound's neck.

Luckily, there was no one on the street. As long as no one saw it, it wasn't considered uncivilized.

It's clear that Tindalos hasn't been kited in a while, and he's very excited.

It constantly turns into smoke, and then constantly reforms itself.
