Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Clearly, there were flaws in Niu Ma's plan.

However, it probably wasn't intentional.

Currently, it appears that both the information regarding it and the information regarding the London plane tree have blind spots, and they need to be considered together.

"Something is better than nothing, I still want to go down and give it a try."

He made his decision very quickly.

From the moment Liu Zheng entered the instance until now, every single time he has faced danger and fortune.

"Okay. Take this."

The two branches of the plane tree detached themselves and were then delivered to his eyes by the tree roots.

"Each arm can help you once; once it's used up, you're on your own."

"It's a plane tree," said the French plane tree.

"Okay. By the way, will you take this?"

Liu Zheng took out his Chaos Club membership card.

"Bien! How did you get your hands on this thing?"

The plane tree exclaimed in surprise.

"It must have been given to me by Ghost Hand."

"Chaos Club"

The plane tree looked at the membership card with a complicated expression.

The tree roots brushed against each other through the air, but I dared not actually touch them.

"I have never actually seen what the Chaos Club looks like, but as far back as I can remember, that unique aura has lingered around me."

"In a way, Chaos Club is my hometown."

"Even my genius-level intelligence might be related to the Chaos Club."

The plane tree seemed unusually sentimental.

"However, it is precisely because of this that I can feel the terror of the Chaos Club even more."

"That aura seemed to be one kind, or perhaps several. One of them was particularly terrifying, as if it could completely erase my existence, whether it was my body or my soul, or even my past and future."

The plane tree retracted its roots as if it had been electrocuted.

"I won't accept this, and I advise you not to use it either."

After a moment of silence, it spoke.

"There are some things that are beyond my control."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

What if he gets an order from Chaos Club someday?

He has never hesitated to speculate about the world with the worst possible malice.

"Then remember to stay away from me before you do something reckless, so that your blood doesn't splatter on me."

"It's a plane tree," said the French plane tree.

Don't you want to go back to your hometown and visit?

"I remember that in your human language, going back to your hometown also means going to hell."

The plane tree let out a cold laugh.

"What's the point of someone as educated as you, a mere tree? Are you planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"

Liu Zheng grabbed the two arms and draped them over his shoulders.

Where is the entrance?

he asked.

"There."

The plane tree pointed to a manhole cover not far away and said.

He walked to the manhole cover and lifted it.

A stench hit him, making Liu Zheng feel suffocated.

Interestingly, it wasn't the smell of a mixture of hydrogen sulfide, methanethiol, methanol, amines, and other compounds.

It's not the smell of bad breath combined with the stench of refluxed stomach acid.

He held his breath and climbed down the ladder.

The well was very long, and it took him several minutes to climb it before he finally reached the ground.

It was pitch black all around, just like the delivery lane.

Liu Zheng deliberately stomped his hoof; the touch was soft and had a slight bounce.

The four tentacles reached out and explored the surroundings, quickly touching the wall.

It was wet and warm, and the sensation was like inserting a hemorrhoid suppository.

This made him think of food delivery channels again. Could the two actually be the same thing?

But upon closer inspection, they are not quite the same.

After getting used to the darkness in the food delivery lane, I actually felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

The darkness in the sewers wasn't particularly intense, but it carried a subtle malice that made him somewhat restless.

But no matter what, Liu Zheng continued to move forward.

He walked forward sideways, close to the wall.

With each step, you must wait until the balls of your feet are firmly planted before shifting your weight forward.

It's ridiculous, but necessary.

In this bizarre world, he must do everything possible to increase his chances of survival.

No one knows which moment of carelessness will be the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

After advancing 576 steps, light finally appeared ahead.

Those were clusters of glowing moss growing on the wall, emitting a faint, dark red light.

Unlike the stems and leaves of ordinary mosses, these mosses look like rotten bananas, or rather...

Okay, let's not go there. They just look like poop, and the kind that's been constipated for a long time.

Liu Zheng remembered the ingredient list of Shengtian Maotai. Could Shitai be this stuff?

After a series of associations, even though he had seen a lot in this world, he couldn't help but gag a few times.

After wiping his mouth, Liu Zheng continued walking.

The further you go, the more vigorously the moss grows.

He could also see his surroundings more clearly, and he could see the so-called "walls" more clearly.

The bluish-black surface is covered with ring-shaped ridges, and each groove is filled with fine wrinkles.

Liu Zheng didn't know whether he was inside the sewer's intestines or inside its brain.

"Rational decline exemption successful."

The system prompt sounds.

Indeed, it was the right decision to explore when the legendary vest was activated.

He composed himself and continued walking forward.

Finally, he heard the sound of water.

It wasn't the sound of rushing water, but rather the hissing sound of a can of cola being opened.

Liu Zheng cautiously peered over the wall, and suddenly the view in front of him became much wider.

A sewage river, about three meters wide, flowed past him, its end nowhere in either direction.

The river water was dark brown, but it also contained red, green, and yellow hues, and a layer of white foam floated on the surface.

Meanwhile, bubbles will continuously rise from the river, bursting immediately upon reaching the surface and releasing brownish-red gas.

What gas is brownish-red again?

Liu Zheng forgot.

Anyway, he remembered that it was poisonous.

However, given his current physical condition, ordinary toxic gases pose little threat to him; at most, they might cause him some discomfort.

Liu Zheng observed for a while longer and, feeling there was no danger, walked out of the passage.

When we got to the riverbank, the stench of bad breath combined with the reflux of stomach acid became even more pronounced.

Even if you're not human, you should brush your teeth more often.

He couldn't help but say.

The sewer did not respond to him.

Of course, this should be considered a good thing.

After watching the bubbles for a while, Liu Zheng decided to try it out here first.

If he can't catch any fish, he walks on.

After all, this place is close to the exit, so it's easier to run here.

Having made up his mind, he ate two attractants and then stretched his tentacles into the sewage river.

Chapter 68 The Skinning Monster

cold.

Liu Zheng felt the extreme cold as soon as he touched the river water.

It wasn't the kind of cold that comes from ice water, but the kind of cold that comes from having liquid nitrogen smeared on your face.

But soon, he felt the extreme heat again.

It's not the heat of boiling water, but the heat of being corroded by acid.

Although he couldn't see what was happening underwater, Liu Zheng knew from his intuition that his tentacles had rotted away.

But he could only endure it.

In a sense, even if his essence hasn't changed, the fact that he could maintain his rationality after experiencing so much inhuman suffering means he's already inhuman.

As time passed, the pain gradually subsided.

Liu Zheng retracted his tentacles, leaving only a small section of broken cartilage.

"So there are bones inside my tentacles."

He said in surprise.

He hadn't really noticed before.

In reality, tentacle creatures have tentacles that lack bones.

Because these tentacle creatures are at a very low level of evolution, and they have very few bones in their bodies.

From a practical standpoint, bones recover much more slowly than muscles.

However, Liu Zheng didn't have this problem. He could even regenerate his internal organs, let alone his bones.

He doesn't know if his brain can regenerate, and he doesn't dare to try.

First attempt, failed.

Liu Zheng decided to walk 100 meters forward and try again.

If you fail again, walk 200 meters forward and try again.
