Chapter 739: Chapter 516: What I Hate Most Is Talking 1_2

Liu Zheng didn’t know what these colors represented, but he chose to investigate the largest and most noticeable stain without hesitation.

He walked up to the red stain and found it clinging to a moss-covered rock.

The rock looked to weigh at least several hundred pounds, but it was nothing to Liu Zheng now.

He bent down and wrapped the rock with two tentacles.

Using four tentacles would be easier, but then he wouldn’t be able to react quickly.

After all, red generally represents danger.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Zheng lifted the rock, a bone arrow shot towards his face.

He swung the Dragon Scale Blade to block it, the bone arrow hit the blade and then weakly fell.

Liu Zheng didn’t look at what was beneath the rock but picked up the bone arrow first.

His hand holding the Dragon Scale Blade was eager to strike at the slightest sign of poison.

Fortunately, the arrow was not poisoned.

Or perhaps, the poison simply didn’t affect him.

"Name: Insect Killing Poison Arrow (single-use)"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Causes poisoning effect on ’Alien Insect’. The higher the mutation level, the stronger the toxicity."

"Note: You sucked my blood, ate my flesh, and now you want to crush my bones."

"Can carry out of instance: No"

"So these office building bugs are called ’Alien Insects’? Heh, a fitting name for them."

Liu Zheng sneered.

He stowed away the bone arrow and flipped the entire rock over.

Beneath the rock was a child’s corpse, the upper half human, the lower half insect, without discernable gender.

It was wearing an ill-fitting white shirt, stained with grime.

On the left abdomen, in a relatively clean area, were words written in red fluid.

"If you see these words, you are either a poor soul caught in this land of despair or an outsider trespassing into this stinking place."

"Because those bugs won’t read these words, they only tear and ravage everything before them."

"I beg you, take Neil’s body out. This child hasn’t seen the real sun since birth; at least let him be buried in a clean place."

"If you are willing, swear by holding Neil’s hand, and I will grant you my final legacy."

The red fluid trickled down the end of the words, like bleeding.

Clearly, Neil must have been the child of an employee on the 11th floor and those bug-managers.

To survive childbirth and raise the child this far, the mother is indeed fierce.

Of course, the birth giver and caretaker may not be the same person.

Just burying a corpse, not really a hassle, and he’s done it several times.

Neil can keep Natasha and Bonaparte company beneath the Black Soil, and they can play landlord.

Oh, and there’s the Ginseng Sprite too, guess they’ll play mahjong.

As for the Legendary delivery man, he can play alone at his old age.

"I swear I will take Neil’s body out and give him a proper burial."

Liu Zheng held Neil’s little hand and murmured softly.

"Thank you, kind-hearted one."

A faint voice sounded in his ear.

"But, let me do it myself!"

Suddenly, the voice grew louder and appeared directly in his head.

"Warning, player is under spiritual attack."

System reminder immediately popped up.

"Hmm?"

Without a thought, Liu Zheng pulled out a cigarette butt.

"Name: Legendary delivery man’s post-session smoke (single-use)"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Increases player’s Spiritual Attribute by 500 points, duration three seconds."

"Note: Does the universe have an end, does time have length, where did the past disappear, where does the future stop? Is the woman I see now the same one I’ve just been with?"

"Can carry out of instance: No"

Since it’s a spiritual attack, boosting spiritual attributes is undoubtedly the right move.

He stuffed the cigarette butt into his mouth, feeling a nauseating wet touch on his tongue, but his spirit instantly felt invigorated.

Liu Zheng closed his physical eyes and opened his mind’s eye.

In front of him was a dense jungle, resembling the 11th floor, but instead of insect chirps, it was filled with wailing spirits.

"Why is it me!"

"I want to go home!"

"I don’t want to work anymore..."

"Mom, it hurts. Mom, take me home, mom."

Various voices came from every direction, expressing their pain, anger, hope, and despair.

"What wrong have they done? They only want to go home. Let me take them home, I beg you."

The faint voice sounded again in his ear.

"Let us go home, please."

All the voices pleaded together.

"Go home, alright. But I’ll take them home, not you."

Liu Zheng coldly said.

He reached out and grabbed a woman dressed in white robes with a red turban from the air.

Her skin was dark, her body mainly human but with many insect traits.

Her face was even more horrifying, half of it as beautiful as a Black Pearl, while the other half resembled a lumpy dung ball.

"Damn it, who told you to wear a hat?"

Liu Zheng slapped away the woman’s turban and grabbed her hair.

"I..."

"Smack!"

Just as the woman was about to speak, she was shut with a slap.

"Who the hell told you not to wear a hat?"

Liu Zheng shouted.

"So should I wear it or not?"

The woman instinctively asked.

"Smack! Smack!"

He swung his hand, delivering crisp slaps to both sides of her face.

"Who told you to talk back?"

Liu Zheng fiercely demanded.

"Sob, sob, no more hitting, no more. I’ll do whatever you want, isn’t that enough?"

The woman said, covering her face, aggrieved.

"Smack, smack, smack, smack!!!!"

He slapped back and forth, mortifying the woman’s cheeks into a red and swollen glow.

"Now you know to yield, then why did you pretend to be spooky just now?"

Liu Zheng interrogated.

"Who knew you were so formidable?"

The woman’s heart brimmed with grievances.

With her spiritual power, possessing an ordinary person would be effortless, much less with the help of so many resentful spirits from the 11th floor.

But who knew this man’s spiritual power was not only strong, but inherently murderous, preventing her from succeeding at first attempt and allowing him to use an item to boost his spiritual power.

Though the woman knew such items were time-limited, in the spiritual world, time stands still compared to reality.

By the time real-world item effects wear off, she might already have suffered unknown abuse.

"Tell me, who are you, and why are you attacking me?"

Liu Zheng began the interrogation.

Having seized the woman’s body in the spiritual world meant he had absolute control over her.

Coupled with the "Interrogation Master" skill effect, the woman couldn’t lie or even hide information.

"I am Yulaba, a Voodoo wizard. I took someone else’s place as a clerk to escape enemies’ pursuit. Later I offended my superior and was framed into the 11th floor as a server."

"Luckily, the environment of the 11th floor was conducive for practicing Voodoo witchcraft, and I barely survived using my expertise in stealth and escape."

"Later, I was forcibly implanted by an insect, but before it killed me, I controlled it using the Love Doll to make it fall for me."

"After that, I got pregnant with its child."

"Upon this discovery, its love for me grew stronger. Although it couldn’t take us out, it tried to protect us and supplied us with resources."

"But good times didn’t last, eventually one day..."

The woman suddenly fell silent.

"One day what? Speak quickly!"

Liu Zheng urged.
