The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1184 - 738: Liu Zheng: It’s Over, I’ve Become Louis XVI_2

Chapter 1184: Chapter 738: Liu Zheng: It’s Over, I’ve Become Louis XVI_2

What? You’re asking how this shows a modern European style?

Because there’s a guillotine standing on the snowfield, over five meters tall, with the entire structure forged from gold, and the trapezoid blade polished from a single piece of obsidian. One glance tells you it’s a hero among guillotines.

Si Xue stood with her arms crossed beside the guillotine, resembling an executioner waiting for a criminal.

"Boss."

Liu Zheng walked up to the guillotine and cautiously greeted.

"Speak."

Si Xue said flatly.

"I have a bad and a good news, which one would you like to hear first?"

He asked.

"Bad news."

"The Three Five Evil-slaying Sword was detained by the tomb master, requesting I exchange it with another Coffin Suppressing Object."

Liu Zheng said.

"Ha. And the good news?"

Si Xue asked.

"The good news is, I’ve got the Nine Dragon Heaven Centipede."

He quickly handed over the vessel containing the Nine Dragon Heaven Centipede.

"It’s of a far higher quality than I expected; it should be enough to catalyze the dragon egg to maturity."

Si Xue glanced and nodded.

"Uh, the Dragon Egg was also used during the tomb entry, I’ll need to buy a new one."

He admitted candidly.

"I ask you to do one thing, yet it requires ten to compensate."

Si Xue shook her head.

"Well, not that many..."

Liu Zheng whispered in his defense.

"What about the cos attire?"

Si Xue ignored him and asked directly.

"It’s still here."

He quickly took out the cos attire.

If he could bring it out of the instance, Liu Zheng would definitely find a way to keep it for himself, but since it can’t be taken out, there’s no need.

As long as he gets through this stage, there’ll be a chance to retrieve it.

"Luckily not both are gone, or if I don’t kill you, the Lake God certainly will."

Si Xue flicked her fingers, and a large hole burst open in the ground from which warm spring water gushed.

She tossed the cos attire into the pit and sealed it before the Lake God emerged.

"So, is this settled then?"

Liu Zheng tested.

"That’s wishful thinking. I’ve laid my items out; do you still think you can escape this ordeal? Prepare yourself."

Si Xue glanced at him and said.

"Yes..."

He hoisted the guillotine blade to the top, then placed his head into the holder.

"Reporting to the boss, I’m ready."

Liu Zheng raised his tentacle.

"Cut the rope yourself. What, waiting for me to do it myself?"

Si Xue, sipping steaming hot tea, asked.

"Yes..."

He reluctantly took out "Anger."

Metropolis really lacks humanity; not only does the execution process require the prisoner to prepare it, but even cutting the rope must be done by oneself.

"Sigh~"

Liu Zheng sighed, swung his rusted knife, and severed the rope as thick as a data cable.

The obsidian guillotine fell and cleanly decapitated him without hesitation.

The cut seemed eerily bloodless, and his remaining body gradually faded away.

To be honest, such a scene would be enough to terrify an entire apartment block in reality; fortunately, Liu Zheng was quite used to it.

But soon, he discovered something he couldn’t easily overlook.

His body wouldn’t regenerate.

"System, what’s happening?"

Liu Zheng quickly asked in his mind.

The system gave no response.

"Boss, this is..."

He could only try hard to look up at Si Xue.

"Everyone knows you’re a Black Mountain Goat Cub, did you think the punishment would be that easy? Until Bloody Restaurant pardons you, don’t expect your body below the neck to grow back."

Si Xue said.

"Huh? So I won’t suffocate and die, will I?"

Liu Zheng worriedly asked.

"You will, so you’ll need another body. Take him back to the delivery department."

Si Xue instructed behind his head.

He strained to turn his head and saw Ghost Hand crawling swiftly towards him.

Ghost Hand reached Liu Zheng, sympathetically patted his head, then carried him by his hair back to the lounge.

"Big shot, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Looking at Niu Ma, who stared intently at him, Liu Zheng blinked and asked.

"Good news."

Niu Ma replied.

"The Memorial Medal wasn’t used."

"What about the bad news?"

Niu Ma asked.

"I turned into this."

He said with a wry smile.

"Then I think that’s two pieces of good news."

Niu Ma squinted and said.

"Stop teasing me. Can you hurry up and get me a spare body? I’m already feeling dizzy."

Liu Zheng said.

"Where would I get a spare body? Even if I had one, it would be a horse’s. Would it match?"

Niu Ma said irritably.

"They’re all odd-toed ungulates, close enough."

He sighed.

"Admitting you’re a goat now, huh? What took you so long?"

Niu Ma rolled his eyes, bit his hair, and left the lounge, heading straight for the "Imhotep" Clinic.

The Sphinx bristled and showed its teeth as soon as it saw him, growling menacingly.

"Ando, don’t worry about my boss, let me in quickly."

Liu Zheng said weakly.

"Human, how did you become like this?"

The Sphinx finally noticed Liu Zheng being carried by Niu Ma.

"Don’t ask. Hurry up."

He closed his eyes.

"Humph!"

The Sphinx glared at Niu Ma and reluctantly lay down.

"How did Liu Zheng end up like this?"

Once inside the clinic, Doctor Nile asked in shock.

"Late delivery, lucky he didn’t die. I’m leaving him to you. I have to head back; the delivery service can’t be without anyone."

Niu Ma placed Liu Zheng on its special haystack in the clinic and said to Doctor Nile.

"Okay, off you go. I’ll handle it."

Doctor Nile nodded.

"Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng, can you still hear me?"

After Niu Ma left, Doctor Nile called out to Liu Zheng.

The latter no longer had the strength to speak, so he could only roll his eyes in response.

Seeing this, Doctor Nile quickly brought over a jug covered with patterns akin to human blood vessels, its mouth topped with a woman’s head.

If Liu Zheng were conscious, he would recognize it as Doctor Nile’s pet concubine who secretly liaised with a guard.

Doctor Nile, without hesitation, tore off the woman’s head and tossed it to the ground, allowing it to rapidly decay and turn to white bones.

Next, Doctor Nile placed Liu Zheng’s head on the jug and recited a spell.

Soon, the patterns on the jug lit up one by one, and some color returned to Liu Zheng’s face.

"Phew~"

Doctor Nile let out a breath.

He hadn’t anticipated that the implement he made in anger to punish the Silver Woman would one day become the medical tool to save his benefactor.

"Indeed, even Anuket (Goddess of the Nile) can’t know every tributary of the Nile."

Doctor Nile shook his head.

But this was only a temporary fix; he needed another solution to truly save Liu Zheng.

"Transforming this kid into a mummy?"

He first considered.

Even if not part of the La Clan, one could still transform with God Ra’s blessing.

The problem is, the transformation wouldn’t repair Liu Zheng’s body; he’d still be just a head.

Although mummies don’t require food or breathing, living like this wouldn’t offer much quality of Life.

Moreover, Liu Zheng was still a Bloody Restaurant delivery man; failing to deliver would result in a dead end.

"Better to graft a body."

Doctor Nile thought again.

He wasn’t very skilled in this surgery, but with a Medical Bee’s assistance, they should be able to manage.

However, grafting a body isn’t as simple. It requires considering compatibility and strength; a mismatched body would only be a burden.

Given Liu Zheng’s job, even his own body’s strength might not suffice.

Besides, a mummy, being a Dead, wouldn’t be very compatible with Liu Zheng, a living person.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone to call Niu Daji.

"Doctor, I’m on my way back to the clinic."

Niu Daji said before he could speak.

He had just delivered some Life supplies to two technicians staying at his place.

Niu Daji had no objections to Liu Zheng’s arrangement.

He preferred living in the clinic over an apartment complex.

Firstly, it’s lively with people around; secondly, it’s convenient for Liu Zheng to find him.

Plus, living in the clinic allows for free food and drink, and the hygiene is taken care of; what’s not to love?

"Hurry back, your boss is in trouble."

Doctor Nile said seriously.
