Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

The white-feathered chicken put down the onion in its hand and said with disdain.

"You have no idea how much I sacrificed to avenge you. Look, my men almost had their hearts ripped out."

Niu Ma pointed to Liu Zheng's chest, which was not yet fully healed, and said.

"What does it have to do with you if your subordinate's heart is ripped out?"

The white-feathered rooster glanced at it sideways.

"I treated him like a father, but he was the one who got hurt, and I was the one who felt the pain."

Niu Ma said with a sorrowful expression.

"If you were to use your face to make soup, you'd have to pressure cook it at least ten times."

The white-feathered rooster remained silent.

"That won't do, you'd burn five spots on my face."

"Niu Ma said confidently."

"Idiot. Salmon, you tell me."

"That's how it is, meow."

The calico cat recounted the whole process.

The description is well-organized, with appropriate detail, and key parts are even accompanied by scenario-based interpretation.

Sure enough, this cat is not just a cute mascot.

"Tindaros. Its owner hasn't eaten at the restaurant in a long time."

The white-feathered chicken recalled.

“In the past, every time he came, the people in the service department would have a headache and could only decide who would serve him by playing rock-paper-scissors.”

It said with a hint of schadenfreude.

"If you have such a vicious dog, you'll be eaten out of house and home even if you're rich."

"The cows and horses complained."

"Is Tindaros really that scary? Stronger than Oink?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"Silence!"

The white-feathered pheasant crowed loudly.

The entire kitchen fell silent.

"Don't mention that guy's name in the restaurant."

The white-feathered chicken shook its head and said.

"This has become taboo?"

Liu Zheng remained silent.

The fire mage is that person, and Oink is that person too.

This is Hogwarts Sorting House, right?

"Of course, it slaughtered half the restaurant back then."

"The ox and horse said."

"Luckily you didn't go to the service department, or you would have been skinned alive and turned into a carpet by the Britons by now."

"Britain?"

"The head of the service department is a minotaur. Back then, someone killed the heads of the kitchen and the takeout department. Britain was lucky; it didn't die, but it was castrated. So its hatred for that person is the strongest."

"The ox and horse said."

"I see."

Liu Zheng suddenly realized.

"So you can mention it elsewhere and you'll just get a few scoldings at most. But never mention it in front of the service department staff, they really can go crazy."

The ox and horse gave instructions.

"I probably won't run into anyone from the service department, right?"

"That's hard to say. Our delivery department is just born to be lowly. If any department is short-staffed, they'll come running as soon as you call."

"Today I'm asking you to help in the kitchen, tomorrow I'll be asking you to be a waiter."

The cattle and horses sighed and groaned.

"You have a problem with that? Then I won't invite you anymore, and you shouldn't come here to freeload anymore."

The white-feathered chicken said coldly.

"You're getting anxious, you're getting anxious."

The oxen and horses beamed with joy.

"Ugh."

The white-feathered pheasant sighed deeply.

"It must be tough for you to have such a powerful boss. Why don't you come work in the kitchen and take charge of receiving orders?"

It said to Liu Zheng.

"Hey, trying to poach my talent right in front of me? You're really not taking me seriously."

The path where cattle and horses jump.

"Never mind, I think delivering food is a good job."

Liu Zheng smiled and said.

I've almost completed the legendary deliveryman outfit; only a fool would switch jobs.

"Whatever you want. Where's the goods?"

The white-feathered chicken asked.

Niu Ma and Liu Zheng stepped aside, revealing the box behind them.

The Little Mermaid remained curled up, motionless.

"A bunch of idiots, they don't even realize the goods have run away."

The white-feathered chicken's face immediately darkened upon seeing this.

"The goods ran away? Aren't they right here?"

The ox and horse were completely bewildered, and poked the mermaid with their hooves.

"Look, it's still warm."

"That was her shed skin, which was full of seawater."

The white-feathered chicken looked at it as if it were an idiot.

"Holy crap? This fish actually has that trick up its sleeve?"

The oxen and horses were shocked and were about to use their horns to butt the mermaid.

"do not move."

The white-feathered pheasant quickly stopped it.

"If you puncture the skin, then it really won't work."

"Can it still be used if only a thin layer of skin is left?"

The cattle and horses were shocked once again.

"Others may not be able to do anything about it, but it's not a problem for me."

The white-feathered rooster said proudly.

"Salmon, go to the chiller and get the J-31."

It said to the calico cat.

"Okay meow."

The calico cat skipped and hopped away.

Soon, it returned, dragging a frozen mermaid.

There were also a few tiny teeth marks on the ice covering the surface.

This mermaid is also female, and although she is not as beautiful as the Little Mermaid, her sexual characteristics are more prominent.

"Are you planning to substitute one thing for another?"

The ox and the horse asked.

"No, it's skinning and stuffing with straw."

The white-feathered chicken shook its head, then picked up a spray gun and started spraying the frozen merman.

Soon, the ice layer was completely melted.

The thawed mermaid's skin quickly regained its color, and her eyes were first confused, then resolute.

She opened her mouth, and an invisible note was about to escape her lips.

"Shut up."

The white-feathered pheasant leaped up and pecked her on the top of the head with lightning speed.

A drop of blood seeped from the mermaid's scalp, and her gaze instantly became empty.

"Give me the knife."

The white-feathered pheasant extends its claws.

Liu Zheng quickly returned the gluttonous food to it.

"You're about three-tenths full, but it's alright. I'll reward you with some snacks to go with your drinks later."

The white-feathered chicken nodded, then casually waved its hand.

A red line appeared on the mermaid's forehead, extending from her hairline all the way to her pelvis.

"Peel off the skin."

It commanded.

"Okay meow."

The calico cat stretched out its paws and carefully hooked the edges of the fur, separating them to both sides.

Slowly, a complete mermaid skin was peeled off.

As if the pain had triggered the mermaid, two streams of bloody tears flowed from her eyes.

do not know why.

Even though the mermaid's eyes were facing the ceiling and she couldn't move.

Liu Zheng felt that she was watching him.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."

Although he didn't know if the mermaid could hear him, he still spoke in his mind.

Ironically, he saved the mermaid princess, but her own kind had to die in her place.

However, since the mermaid has already entered the kitchen, it's inevitable that she'll be made into food.

Sooner or later.

"At least, please, please save my child."

A hoarse voice echoed in Liu Zheng's mind.
