Chapter 563: Chapter 427: Heretics are More Hateful than Pagans_2

Doctor Nile also shouted loudly.

"You’re lying! Wood Elves would never worship your Sun God—neither in life nor in death."

The woman rebuked.

"I’m not talking about that corpse; I’m talking about the tree that’s digesting it. That tree has already been chosen by God Ra to become His pet. If you forcibly take away its food, you’re insulting God Ra’s dignity."

"As the most loyal priest of God Ra, I would never allow such a thing to happen."

Doctor Nile declared righteously.

"Then why didn’t you mention that earlier?"

The woman questioned.

"You didn’t ask earlier, did you? Does your doctrine mandate unconditionally divulging every bit of information to your enemies?"

Doctor Nile asked quizzically.

"..."

The woman was instantly stifled.

Of course, their doctrine didn’t include such rules. In fact, deception and concealment were the common norms within their culture.

"Impressive!"

Liu Zheng inwardly gave Doctor Nile a thumbs-up.

As expected, outsiders see the show, while insiders know the ropes.

When it comes to arguing with a priest, it takes another priest to truly compete.

"No matter what, we are determined to obtain that Wood Elf Royal Family’s corpse."

After a moment of silence, the woman spoke.

"Since all you need is sacrificial offerings, why not settle for something even better?"

Liu Zheng picked up the thread.

"The Wood Elf Royal Family’s corpse is the best offering we’ve discovered."

The woman replied.

"Seriously? In the Metropolis, with everything it has, you’re telling me there’s nothing better?"

Liu Zheng expressed his skepticism.

"Bloodhand Kane governs violence, war, cruelty, bloodshed, destruction, and murder. Apart from heretics’ blood and corpses, pleasing Him requires large-scale slaughter and torture."

The woman explained.

"Aren’t you slave traders? Isn’t large-scale slaughter and torture easy for you?"

"The repeated offerings have already bored the gods. If we fail to provide a sufficiently weighty sacrifice by the next ’Death Midnight,’ we will face the wrath of the gods."

The woman shook her head.

"Oh, got it. Eating the same dish every day gets tiresome."

Liu Zheng nodded.

That makes sense. If he were wealthy and his chef prepared the same meal daily, he’d flip the table in frustration too.

"Then why don’t you go kill something else? Like start by bombing a street in the Old City District or slaughtering a floor in an office building."

He suggested boldly.

"Has he gone mad?"

The woman turned to Doctor Nile.

"No, he’s actually done it."

Doctor Nile shrugged.

"Figures, it’s Bloody Restaurant. Maybe we should send someone to apply for a job there ourselves."

The woman said thoughtfully.

If one wants a peaceful life, working at Bloody Restaurant is undoubtedly the worst choice.

But if one’s goal is to legally wreak havoc and commit crimes, then Bloody Restaurant is the most reliable ally.

Take Liu Zheng for example—if it weren’t for his position as a deliveryman for Bloody Restaurant, the Security Department would’ve executed him a hundred times over for his deeds.

"Go ahead, we’re hiring. Join the delivery department directly; I’ll make all the arrangements for you."

Liu Zheng said cheerfully.

"We’ll consider it. But for now, we still need a sufficiently weighty sacrifice."

The woman’s tone softened a little compared to earlier.

"You should’ve mentioned this earlier. Last time, when I slaughtered an office building, I could’ve brought you along."

Liu Zheng said regretfully.

After all, those bug-like management corpses were useless, so wouldn’t handing them over make a favor?

With their help, the bug extermination operation could’ve been more efficient—maybe that editor security guard wouldn’t have had to die.

"Wait a minute."

Liu Zheng suddenly had an idea.

"Your gods should accept demons as sacrifices, right?"

He asked.

"Demons?"

The woman paused.

"They should. As long as it’s the blood of intelligent beings, it’s my Lord’s favorite wine."

She pondered and replied.

"Alright then, I’ve got a big lead here."

Liu Zheng told her about the demons from Great Jiang Mountain.

"If you can wait, we can go together. If you can’t wait, contact Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse and go with them."

"There are demons occupying territories all across Ten Thousand Great Mountains. If Great Jiang Mountain isn’t enough, go sweep the surrounding peaks too, ensuring your god has an exhilarating feast."

He said.

"Hmm..."

The woman didn’t respond immediately, but her expression indicated temptation.

The value of a sacrificial offering is determined by many factors, with freshness being a crucial one.

From what they remembered, demons had never been used as offerings before—this added novelty rivaled the prestige of the Wood Elf Royal Family.

"How do I know you’re not planning to lure us outside the city and then eliminate us all at once?"

The woman voiced her suspicion.

This species was highly urbanized—most of its population lived concentrated within major cities.

Even after migrating to Metropolis, they maintained this habit, rarely leaving the city unless it was necessary.

"It’s better to resolve enmity than to escalate it. Since you know my reputation, surely you’ve heard that I dislike creating unnecessary enemies?"

"Us humans have an old saying: ’Make more friends, make fewer enemies.’"

"We’ve neither old grudges nor recent feuds—why not become friends?"

Liu Zheng said sincerely.

As he was speaking, his phone buzzed.

Liu Zheng picked it up and smiled.

"See, my friends are already here."

"Hey, I’m over here."

He waved his Slaughter Knife high, its blade reflecting a blood-red glow under the setting sun.

Soon, a van and a minibus appeared at the street corner, pulling up side by side in front of Liu Zheng.

"Zheng Chan, who dared offend you? Let me throw them into the boiler and burn them to ashes."

As the minibus door opened, Jinzi was the first to jump out, followed by Jing Zi, Seiko, Kyoko, Jingzi, and others.

The van’s door also opened, and out jumped a group of bread people—well, no, they were massage therapists.

"Master Liu, we’re here. Tell us who to beat up, and we’ll do it without hesitation."

Ying Hu said, thumping his chest.

"Thank you, thank you. You didn’t run into any green vests on the way, did you?"

Liu Zheng came forward to shake hands and exchange pleasantries.

"Nope. Even if we did, it wouldn’t matter; we’re not overloaded."

Ying Hu chuckled.

"Even if we were overloaded, it’d be fine—we’ve got people in City Hall. At worst, we’d just pay a fine."

He puffed up his chest, showing off his City Hall employee affiliate badge more prominently.

"So, what’s the plan? Are we fighting or not? If we are, let’s get it started—I still need to treat my friends to a feast at Bloody Restaurant."

Liu Zheng turned to the woman and said.

Looking at the French Plane Tree surrounded by layers of opponents, the woman’s expression visibly shifted.

"Give me your number, human."

After some deliberation, she replied.

"Remember this: my number is XXXXX."

Liu Zheng recited his number.

"I hope you’re telling the truth, human. Otherwise, Kane’s Bride will harvest your life and soul before the next ’Death Midnight,’ offering them up to the great Lord of War."

The woman said coldly.

"I wouldn’t mind, as long as you can outcompete the others."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

His body, undeniably, belonged to the Restaurant, and the White Feather Chicken had wanted to turn him into a dish for quite a while now.

As for his soul, unless something unexpected happened, the cemetery had likely already reserved it.

When the time came, the Tomb Guardian would ride a horse, the horse would ride Liu Zheng; that’d be some kind of "three-in-one" harmony.

Ah, well—it couldn’t be helped. He was just such a charming man; everyone wanted to possess him.

"We’re leaving."

Her outline vanished into the black armor, and the black-armored figures made a gesture, regrouped tightly, and retreated swiftly, disappearing at the corner of the street.
