The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?

Chapter 558: Chapter 425: The Big Shots’ Cloud Dog Raising

"Who?"

The Tomb Guardian asked.

"The wife of Red Pig, the owner of grave number 10086. Her name is Qian Zao."

Liu Zheng replied.

Red Pig’s request was to find out his wife Qian Zao’s whereabouts. To avoid him breaking down completely, Liu Zheng definitely couldn’t tell him the truth.

But if he could directly retrieve Qian Zao’s soul, wouldn’t that also count as completing the commission?

"I’m really so clever."

He thought smugly.

As for whether it was worth trading favors with the cemetery owner to obtain Qian Zao’s soul, he couldn’t be bothered to think about it.

It wasn’t just about completing Red Pig’s request; to address Niu Ma’s regrets, this deal was worth it.

Humans only care about profit, and Liu Zheng wasn’t a human.

Well, at least not entirely human.

"Haven’t seen it."

After a moment of silence, the Tomb Guardian said.

"How about opening the lid and taking another look?"

He squinted his eyes and suggested.

"Makes sense."

The Tomb Guardian agreed and moved the coffin lid aside.

"Still not there."

A moment later, he said again.

"Alright. Thanks for the trouble."

Liu Zheng sighed.

If even the Tomb Guardian couldn’t locate Qian Zao’s soul, it seemed that she had truly disappeared without a trace.

Perhaps only the Supreme Councilman or even Hell’s Game could retrieve Qian Zao’s soul.

"What do you want?"

The Tomb Guardian asked for the fourth time.

"No need, you’ve already fulfilled my request."

He shook his head and replied.

Liu Zheng was asking about Qian Zao’s soul’s whereabouts, but he hadn’t demanded that the other person must find it.

If the Tomb Guardian claimed he hadn’t found it, then he definitely hadn’t found it.

Given his status, there was no need for him to make superficial excuses.

"You’re not bad. Take this."

The Tomb Guardian threw a revolver out of the coffin.

Liu Zheng hurriedly leapt forward to catch it.

As expected, no item description popped up.

"Tch."

He clicked his tongue.

If the Tomb Guardian truly gifted him the revolver, this deal would have been a huge win.

Even if it wasn’t the Tomb Guardian’s actual sidearm, it would surely be of Perfect Quality at the very least.

"Shoot it once, then return it to me."

The Tomb Guardian said.

"Shoot who?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Red Pig. If you can shoot Qian Zao, even better."

The Tomb Guardian replied.

"Then let’s just shoot Red Pig."

Qian Zao was already dead and scattered into dust, where would he even find her to shoot?

"Alright, just wait a moment."

He said.

"Hmm."

The Tomb Guardian grunted lightly.

Liu Zheng took the revolver and headed to Red Pig’s grave.

Perhaps because he was carrying the Tomb Guardian’s gun, he didn’t encounter any trouble along the way.

Even though he was peeking around the area, he received no feedback.

Of course, he also didn’t see anything.

"Seems I forgot to purchase the grave-sweeping package."

Upon arriving at Red Pig’s gravestone, Liu Zheng suddenly realized.

But since he wasn’t there to pay respects, he decided he’d shoot and leave right away instead.

That said, he still pulled out three dried fish and placed them in front of the gravestone, as a stand-in for incense.

After waiting for half a minute, Red Pig didn’t appear.

"Does it really need a grave-sweeping package?"

Liu Zheng scratched his head.

If so, then he’d have to get Niu Ma to reimburse him for the expense. After all, Red Pig’s inheritance had all gone to Niu Ma.

"Red Pig! Niu Ma said you’re a big idiot, a cowardly shrinking turtle who couldn’t even protect your own wife!"

He thought for a bit, then suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Niu Ma! I swear I’ll kill you today!"

Before Liu Zheng could finish his sentence, Red Pig came crawling out of the grave.

"Turns out taunting works better than baiting."

Faced with Red Pig’s enormous, titan-like body, Liu Zheng was unperturbed, calmly raising the revolver.

"You? Where is Niu Ma? Tell him to come out and face me!"

Red Pig emerged already half-crazed, a sinister black smoke wafting around its spiritual body.

However, upon seeing the revolver in Liu Zheng’s hand, it instinctually felt fear and didn’t immediately charge forth.

"He didn’t come, but..."

Liu Zheng drew his words out deliberately.

"But what?"

"But, I bet you can’t dodge this bullet."

He pulled the trigger.

"BOOM!"

A massive cloud of gunpowder engulfed him. A semi-transparent bullet shot out from the cloud of smoke, heading straight for Red Pig’s heart.

As someone only slightly inferior to Niu Ma in strength, Red Pig naturally wouldn’t be caught off guard.

A flash of blue light appeared in its hand, revealing a handgun of its own.

This gun was sleekly built, with an open slide, and engraved with two rows of runes on its body.

"Bang!"

Red Pig pulled its trigger, firing a 9mm round-nosed bullet directly towards the revolver’s bullet.

In an instant, the two bullets collided; the round-nosed bullet was effortlessly crushed by the revolver’s bullet, bursting into a blue spark.

The revolver bullet, undeterred, pierced through Red Pig’s heart, then curved back and returned to the revolver’s cylinder.

"Liu Zheng, what do you mean by this?"

Red Pig asked, its gaze regaining clarity as it stared at the hole in its chest.

"Nothing much, just wanted to settle the score since you beat me up last time."

Liu Zheng replied nonchalantly.

One should never offer hope without certainty; those who’ve despaired once can’t bear to despair again.

"Kid, don’t think that just because you’re Niu Ma’s lackey, I won’t kill you."

Red Pig spoke angrily.

"You won’t. Who else would find your wife for you if you did?"

He said with smug confidence.

"All you do is talk; I haven’t seen any results."

Red Pig sneered.

"Come on, big guy. I’m just a deliveryman, not the Supreme Councilman. Even council members have to wine and dine and schmooze to get help from the Security Department. You’ve only entrusted me with this a few days ago, and you already expect results? You’re putting me on far too high a pedestal!"
