Chapter 719: Chapter 504: I am not your grandpa, then why do you talk like such a grandson_2
Garcia retorted.
"Isn’t that what the restaurant wants?"
"And who is the restaurant asking on behalf of?"
"Oh~"
At this point, Liu Zheng understood.
"Except for the Bloody Restaurant, eating this dish anywhere will cause trouble. But the Bloody Restaurant won’t catch it themselves, they’ll only leave it to a third party."
"Time, place, tools, everything is provided to us; we’re just tools."
Garcia said.
"I know, the Black Gloves."
"Black Gloves? What do you mean?"
Garcia asked in confusion.
"White gloves are for show, don’t get dusty or bloody, only do neat and shiny things."
"Black gloves are the inside, get dusty and bloody, only do dark and dirty things."
He explained.
"This saying is quite novel and vivid. You seem like a smart and cultured person, why are you working as a delivery man?"
"You just said it yourself, if the world’s affairs could be avoided without thinking, people wouldn’t need a God."
"Moreover, City Hall is far scarier than any God."
Liu Zheng shrugged.
"Speaking of which, you don’t seem like someone who can’t find a job, why join the crooked religion for such shady business?"
"Straight or crooked only depends on the stance. At least my lord is far more merciful and generous to me than City Hall."
"Have you heard of the Three-Eyed Clan?"
Garcia suddenly asked.
"I know, they’re a remnant of an ancient civilization that grows a third eye at a few years old. Showing the third eye creates a second personality, smart but violent."
Liu Zheng nodded.
"What a bunch of nonsense?"
Garcia frowned.
"We are born with a third eye, and covering it only affects vision, nothing else."
"Ah, maybe I got it wrong."
He was talking about a race in a comic he had never read but played related games on, later reading up on the setting.
"Our Three-Eyed Clan is not violent, even considered law-abiding citizens, mostly working as scholars, teachers, engineers, and such."
"As one of the races that migrated early to Metropolis, we contributed greatly to its construction and development."
"But just because of our ability to inherit knowledge through bloodline, we’re classified as high-risk species, exterminated by City Hall."
Garcia’s tone carried some anger.
"Ah, yours is the unfortunate tribe filled with forbidden knowledge through bloodline inheritance over hundreds of generations, listed as high-risk and exterminated by City Hall."
Liu Zheng blurted out.
"Huh? How did you know that?"
"Saw it in an old newspaper."
He said half-truthfully.
"Ha, such unreasonable things, yet used by City Hall as achievements for grand publicity, truly disgusting."
Garcia said with disgust.
"In City Hall’s eyes, their reasoning probably seems quite large."
"It’s all about the fist being big. Clearly, there are better solutions, but to save a little administrative cost, our tribe was turned into the price."
Garcia sneered.
"Bureaucrats are like that. If they can achieve efficiency by bittering the populace, it’s not too bad. More often, the bitterer the populace, the slower the efficiency."
Liu Zheng spread his hands.
Even phrases like ’I bear the blame to bitter the populace,’ are not words most dare to say. Most bureaucrats are absolutely slippery creatures.
"You seem to see through City Hall quite clearly, why still aid their tyranny?"
Garcia questioned.
"Even the worst order is better than chaos, and being able to manage so many chaotic species isn’t something City Hall does too poorly."
"Surely, there’s an order better than City Hall’s, but it certainly isn’t yours."
He said.
"Perhaps."
After a moment of silence, Garcia said.
"Alright, we’ve diverged too much, let’s continue discussing how to escape."
"I have three plans."
"Please go ahead."
"First plan, I find someone to order a takeout outside the city, you hide in my car and go out together."
He raised a tentacle, even though the other couldn’t see it.
"You seem naive, do you really think the Bloody Restaurant’s delivery cars won’t be checked by the Security Department?"
Garcia said.
"I’ve told you, you don’t know me well enough. Since you know I’ve given your cult members’ bodies to City Hall, don’t you know I have connections in the Security Department?"
"See these fines?"
Liu Zheng took a fine from the Legendary Takeout Box, opened the top hatch and extended it out.
"As long as I stick it on the car and report the number, I can pass unimpeded."
He said proudly.
"Ha, City Hall. What’s the second plan?"
Garcia asked.
"Second plan, I’m an old acquaintance with the cemetery’s Tomb Guardian, you sit in my car to the cemetery and hide in a grave, City Hall shouldn’t catch you there."
Liu Zheng raised a second tentacle.
"How is that different from being dead?"
"A living dead man is still alive at least. You hide there until the heat dies down and sneak away, won’t City Hall have too many matters to keep remembering a small smuggler like you?"
"You better talk about the third plan."
Garcia was clearly not satisfied with this plan.
"Third plan, there’s an exit to the sea in the sewer, I can take you into the sewer, then you find the sea exit yourself."
Liu Zheng raised a third tentacle.
"Are you joking? Not to mention my followers were killed in the sewer, we’re being hunted for capturing the mermaid princess of the Deep Sea Empire, going to the sea would be suicidal!"
Garcia sneered.
"Quit pretending. You went to the sewer to find the sea exit, not to settle down and live by fishing, right?"
"Even though I don’t know how you plan to avoid the Deep Sea Empire’s attention, you must have a way."
He said confidently.
"How can I trust you won’t set a trap for me?"
Garcia neither affirmed nor denied.
"I’ve told you, we bear no deep hatred, you even intended to recruit me as a Saint Heir at first, didn’t you?"
"Besides, those followers weren’t killed on purpose by him, they were overly nervous, attacked proactively, and were killed in self-defense."
"If you let that matter pass, he won’t hold it against you."
Liu Zheng said.
"All three plans require you to take the initiative."
Garcia thought for a moment and said.
"What else? If you could take the initiative, would you need my help?"
He rolled his eyes.
"Then we might as well take a fourth plan."
Garcia said.
"Fourth plan? What plan?"
"I’ll set a restriction for you, and help you lift it once I successfully escape."
Garcia proposed his plan.
"Do I look like your grandfather?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"Are you also from the Three-Eyed Clan?"
"No."
"Then I don’t think we have any blood relation."
"Since I’m not your grandfather, why would you say such a grandson thing?"
He said with extreme sarcasm.
"Are you trying to anger me?"
Garcia’s tone cooled.
"You’re the one angering me. I’m discussing feasible plans with you seriously, and you’re spouting nonsense here? Do you really think you have me figured out?"
"What’s this?"
Liu Zheng extended the delivery slip again.
"Can this broken circle block a ’Deadly Delivery’ mailman?"
"Maybe it can."
Garcia frowned and said stubbornly.
"Alright, you’re impressive."
He said, suddenly a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.
"Have you heard of a stick technique that descends from the sky?"
