The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?
Chapter 424 - 360 Restaurant’s benefits to me were all eaten up by your kickbacks.

Chapter 424: Chapter 360 Restaurant’s benefits to me were all eaten up by your kickbacks.

"If it’s gone, just grow it back,"

the old man said nonchalantly.

This young man’s recovery ability is simply freakish; not to mention four tentacles, even if he lost four limbs, it would take only a few minutes to regenerate them.

"Oh, I mean what if I revert to human form and don’t have tentacles in that form anymore?"

Liu Zheng explained.

"Then there’s nothing you can do. This kind of seal is essential. If your essence changes, naturally the seal will become invalid,"

the old man shook his head and said.

"What would be the consequences then?"

"The consequences are nothing much, just backlash from the murderous aura. As long as you don’t create more killings or stay in a special place like a killing array, it won’t be a big deal,"

the old man explained.

"What if both my Spirit and body are greatly weakened?"

he asked again.

"Then you’re out of luck,"

the old man said, giving the conclusion without asking why.

"...Is there any way to resolve this?"

Liu Zheng asked helplessly.

After settling the instance, he intended to remove the "flesh aberration" state, and he was likely to weaken as a result.

"There are plenty of ways, like cultivation, sealing, purification, transfer, etc. Speaking of that, I recall you once grew a sword arm in the killing array. You could try the transfer technique,"

the old man considered and said.

"What is the transfer technique?"

"It’s about transferring the murderous aura inside your body into an object, usually a weapon. This reduces the erosion by the murderous aura and can also enhance the power of the weapon,"

"Plus, you can even recover from damage at the ’flesh’ level, which is perfect for using the Blood Sacrifice Technique to refine these four tentacles into a weapon, which might even improve the results,"

the old man replied.

"Then do you know anyone who can help me with the Blood Sacrifice Technique to refine a weapon?"

Liu Zheng inquired.

"How would I know? I’m just a sauna room attendant,"

the old man rolled his eyes.

"All right, then I’ll go back to the city and ask around,"

"Alright, you can go to the next room now. My kids are really drained this time; I need to take care of them,"

the old man said.

"Thanks for your effort. This is my phone number, feel free to call anytime. Though I might be in some strange places sometimes and might not get the call,"

He was basically working non-stop now, only dozing off occasionally, so he wasn’t worried about being disturbed.

But he traveled to so many places, it was quite possible he might go somewhere with poor signal reception.

Like a waste treatment facility, where calls would most likely not get through.

"Hmph, you better worry about yourself first. I’ve been around the bathhouse street for decades; I’ve seen it all and don’t need your help,"

the old man rolled his eyes again.

"You shouldn’t say that,"

Those who had said something similar to him seemed to end up seeking his help later on.

Liu Zheng left Sauna Room No. 3 with a strange look on his face.

"Liu is really accomplished for his age,"

Old Fourth said with admiration.

Although the sauna rooms were specially designed, such a big commotion couldn’t possibly go completely unheard.

He’s started from the bottom at Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse and was very familiar with these veteran employees; he knew straight away that Crickets old man was seriously involved.

"Manager Old Fourth is too kind, it’s just that old Crickets is looking out for me because I’m young,"

Liu Zheng modestly said.

"I couldn’t tell where he was cutting you some slack..."

Old Fourth mumbled to himself.

That commotion could be mistaken as a secret death duel by those not in the know.

"Would you like to rest a bit more, Mr. Liu?"

he asked.

"Sure, but let’s skip the usual, just load me up with high-protein, high-fat foods,"

Liu Zheng replied.

He had expended a lot this time. Although his size hadn’t changed, he had used up more than half of his reserved energy.

To challenge the even more difficult Sauna Room No. 5 in this state would be like streaking in front of Britannia.

"Understood, then you must try our sticky bone sauce and battered meat; they are solid dishes that will certainly fill you up,"

Old Fourth said with a smile.

"Well, that’s something I can’t pass up,"

Liu Zheng smiled too.

Just as Old Fourth was about to lead them to the restaurant, his cellphone suddenly rang.

"Excuse me, I have to take this call,"

Old Fourth said after glancing at the number.

"No problem, Manager Old Fourth, go ahead,"

Liu Zheng graciously said.

Old Fourth took his cellphone and moved to a quieter spot, then answered the call.

"Secretary Li, what’s up?"

"The boss had an accident,"

Secretary Li got straight to the point.

"What happened?"

Old Fourth’s expression immediately turned serious.

"I called the boss several times and couldn’t get through, so I called Yong Jian and Ji, but neither of them answered either,"

"So I used the locator, and it showed the last known location was from ten minutes ago,"

Secretary Li said.

"Where’s the last known location?"

Old Fourth asked.

"Sunset Boulevard,"

"Sunset Boulevard? Isn’t that close to the Old City District?"

Old Fourth exclaimed in surprise.

"Exactly. I suspect Zhen Xinzhai has lured the boss to the Old City District with the intention of killing her and seizing her inheritance,"

Secretary Li stated.

"How could the boss be so naive? I’ve told her before to be wary of Zhen Xinzhai, that he’s no good. How did she fall for his trap?"

Old Fourth complained.

"What’s the use of talking about this now? Besides, how do you know the boss isn’t wise to his plan and looking for a legitimate reason to take out Zhen Xinzhai?"

"Even so, she should’ve given us a heads-up. At least bring me or Old Zhang, right? Relying solely on Yong Jian is just too risky,"

Ji had been brought up by Old Fourth himself; he knew him inside out.
