Chapter 495: Chapter 394: Just Stand Still and Let Me Chop Once

These "people" were still wearing the uniforms of the Servicing Department, but they had already lost their original appearance.

Regardless of what they originally were, now they were just lumps of mud with arms and legs.

Where their heads once were, only a hollow remained, from which a random assortment of small rubbish was being "pfft pfft" spewed outwards.

And their bodies were continuously dripping mud downwards, like melting wax candles.

These mud people held buckets in their hands, pouring scalding water into the bath, seemingly in an attempt to cleanse the water.

However, the mud and garbage from their bodies also fell into the bath, rendering their efforts completely counterproductive.

Apart from the two on the ladder, there were six other mud people below.

Some were collecting water, while others waited below the ladder with their buckets.

"Apart from me and Er Tong, everyone from the Servicing Department is here."

Sadness flashed through Yaoji’s eyes.

She was nice and had backing, so even in the cutthroat Servicing Department, people were still relatively kind to her.

Liu Zheng raised his hand to signal.

"Don’t bother if it’s not important."

Liu Tong glanced at him and said.

"Minister Liu Tong, I think it’s quite important."

He spoke seriously.

"Then speak quickly."

"Can they still turn back?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"They probably can’t turn back."

Yaoji shook her head.

"Minister Liu Tong, I think we should destroy these mud people."

He nodded his head and said to Liu Tong.

"Reasons."

"Judging by their actions, they should have become puppets of His Excellency Da Chuanliu. But from what I know, Da Chuanliu is a benevolent deity and should not need such puppets."

"If we can destroy them, perhaps we can provoke a conflict between Da Chuanliu’s malevolent and benevolent thoughts, which could potentially lessen our pressure."

Liu Zheng said.

"That makes some sense, but what if aggravating Da Chuanliu increases our pressure instead?"

Liu Tong counterquestioned.

"Sister Yangzi, your Servicing Department must have records of serving His Excellency Da Chuanliu, right?"

He looked at Yaoji again.

"Yes, we do."

"How does the casualty rate this time compare to the last?"

Liu Zheng inquired.

"It’s much higher."

Yaoji’s face showed some discomfort.

"I figured as much."

He nodded his head.

Upon hearing that only Er Tong and Yaoji were alive, he had guessed as much.

If there are only one or two survivors every time, what’s the point of bonuses? It would be wiser to just wait for the compensation pay.

"This time, the situation of His Excellency Da Chuanliu might be even worse than before. Even the Servicing Department, which usually faces less pressure than us, only had two survivors. If we don’t take some actions, I’m afraid to say, our Massage Department is likely to be completely wiped out this time."

Liu Zheng stated.

After hearing this, Liu Tong fell silent.

And the rest of the Massage Department looked at each other, lost in thought.

Although newcomers like Liu Zheng usually didn’t have much say.

Whatever the seniors asked him to do, he had to do, or else the spirit-infusion stick awaited him.

But now, given that everyone was like grasshoppers on the same Titanic, and with reality staring them in the face, they had no choice but to listen carefully.

"It’s easy for you to say, but who is going to do it?"

Liu Tong suddenly said.

No matter whether these mud people had become avatars or puppets of Da Chuanliu, they were troublesome either way.

If they were ignored and everyone did their own thing, they might manage to coexist peacefully.

If someone tried to kill them, who knows whether they’d end up being killed by these mud people instead.

"I’ll go."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

"You? I don’t trust you."

Liu Tong shook his head.

"What about me does Minister Liu Tong not trust?"

"I don’t trust your motives, nor your strength."

Liu Tong said bluntly.

This kid had been eye-catching since they met, now trying to take the initiative in decision-making and volunteering to march into danger. As a newcomer, he was unusually active.

This kind of person is either overly arrogant or has ulterior motives. In Liu Tong’s view, he was clearly the latter.

"I just want to finish the task as soon as possible and survive as best I can."

Liu Zheng explained.

"I hear you, but your issues are not our concern here. Who here doesn’t want to survive? Who knows if you’re not just trying to buy time with our lives?"

Liu Tong spoke the harsh truth.

"Then what would Minister Liu Tong need to trust me?"

He asked.

Since the other party wasn’t rejecting outright, it indicated he still had considerations.

"I will plant a blade of grass in your heart. If I die, it will drain you dry."

Liu Tong proposed.

"Isn’t there another way? Like a contract, for example."

"Do I look like someone who can afford such things?"

Liu Tong remarked sardonically.

Even if he could afford it, who would carry such a thing around casually?

"Then alright, please be gentle, Minister Liu Tong."

Liu Zheng sighed and said.

"Don’t talk strange, I’m not interested in men."

While complaining, Liu Tong pulled out a strand of water grass from his face.

Underneath the water grass was red flesh of a texture similar to a tuna.

"If you succeed, once I become the Executive Vice Minister, I’ll directly recommend you for the position of Section Chief."

He held the water grass as he spoke.

Typically, those who have served such distinguished guests can at most be promoted by one rank.

But for someone like Liu Zheng, who’s done a great deed and has the support of the leadership, a two-rank promotion wasn’t out of question.

Becoming a Section Chief on his first day would be a meteoric rise.

But when Liu Tong said this, no one present voiced any objection.

If it could increase their chances of survival, they’d even agree to promote Liu Zheng to boss.
