The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1251 - 774: High-Pressure Water Gun Squad Deployment

Chapter 1251: Chapter 774: High-Pressure Water Gun Squad Deployment

Imagine him, the son of a Travel Mage, who grew up in luxury and was placed in the Security Department’s logistics division as soon as he came of age, facing such a nasty thing for the first time.

Just in these few seconds, Ace was already about to pass out.

"It’s a rare experience, you know. I’m covered in sewer sludge from the bottom of the Underwater River. Not something everyone gets to see."

Liu Zheng said with a cheeky grin.

"Thank you, Brother Zheng, next time you have this kind of experience, please don’t bring me along, okay?"

Ace rolled his eyes and grabbed an anti-toxic mask to wear.

"Phew~"

Breathing in the fresh air, he let out a relieved sigh as though he had narrowly escaped death.

Fortunately, he had grabbed one of the department’s newly developed anti-toxic masks. Otherwise, he might not have made it to the destination.

"By the way, Brother Zheng, was the Kowloon Walled City incident your doing again?"

Now relieved of his breathing concerns, Ace’s gossiping spirit was ignited once more. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"What do you mean ’again’? No, your question makes it sound like I’m the one who summoned the Evil God."

Liu Zheng gave him a sideways glance.

"Haha, my bad, slip of the tongue. I meant, was it you who blew up that Evil God?"

Ace corrected himself.

"What version did you hear?"

Liu Zheng asked back.

"I heard that the Evil God was wreaking havoc, making the Religious Department’s enforcement team wail and scream, and just when they were about to call for higher-up support, there was a loud bang, and then a crack appeared in the Evil God’s Divine Country. The Religious Department’s people took the chance to rush into the Divine Country, and thus successfully drove the Evil God away."

Ace explained.

"Pretty much. That loud bang was probably the sound of my firing a cannon."

He nodded in agreement.

"Awesome! Truly worthy of my Brother Zheng, never a dull moment wherever you go."

Ace gave him a thumbs-up.

"Don’t even mention it. This time it was a massive loss. I used up two Perfect Quality items, and all the Religious Department said was that they owed me a favor, not even offering to reimburse me."

Liu Zheng grumbled.

"Reimbursement is impossible. Perfect Quality items can only be used with department head approval. For someone like you, who isn’t even a temporary worker, to get a reimbursement would require at least deputy minister approval. Nobody’s going to bother with that hassle for you."

Ace was in logistics himself and was very familiar with the procedures.

"Just venting a little. By the way, how do you know all these things, even about the Religious Department?"

He asked curiously.

"Because the Religious Department and Security Department’s jurisdictions overlap, you know? For example, if a Deviant believer robs and kills a third-class citizen, who do you think should handle it?"

Ace asked.

"Should be the Security Department, right?"

He thought and replied.

After all, robbery and murder are standard security incidents. Anyone could do it, Deviant believer or not.

"But what if that third-class citizen is also a Deviant believer, and they fought over some item for summoning the Evil God?"

Ace asked again.

"Um... that’s harder to judge."

Liu Zheng pondered.

"Exactly. Nobody wants to deal with trouble, so when these things happen, whoever can push the responsibility to the other does so."

"But shirking responsibility isn’t just casual. You at least need to understand the situation somewhat; otherwise, you might fail to save someone who should be saved or end up getting someone saved who should be punished, then it’s a mess."

"So, with such a big incident in Kowloon Walled City, we definitely have to send people to keep an eye on it."

Ace explained.

"No wonder."

He nodded and didn’t ask further.

Liu Zheng didn’t intend to involve Ace in the Kowloon Walled City affair; he was just curious. Knowing this much was enough.

After chatting a bit more, Ace sent him to the entrance of the Jidao Public Bath.

Once Liu Zheng indicated he didn’t need help anymore, Ace left in a hurry, even abandoning the Three Outsiders motorcycle.

"Brother Pai’s vision is still too narrow. The sludge I’m covered in may stink, but for many, it’s a priceless treasure."

Liu Zheng shook his head and called Black Skull.

"What’s up, little brother?"

Black Skull asked warmly.

"Haha, bringing you some treasure."

Just thinking about what to say next made him want to laugh.

"Did you find the other piece of skin?"

Black Skull was overjoyed.

"No, I got some sewer sludge for your fly minions to eat."

Liu Zheng explained.

"...What kind of treasure is that? Didn’t you feed them that last time?"

Black Skull was greatly disappointed.

"This time it’s different; this is aged sludge from the bottom of the Underwater River, the kind that can prevent Evil God pollution."

He emphasized.

"How do you know it can prevent Evil God pollution? Wait, you didn’t smear it all over yourself, did you?"

As a seasoned employee at the Cleaning Department, Black Skull quickly guessed the truth.

"That’s not important. Anyway, I’m at the entrance of the Jidao Public Bath now; hurry and bring them over, or it’ll go to waste."

Liu Zheng hung up the phone.

"Jinzi, come out for a moment."

He lifted the curtain and called inside.

"Coming, coming."

Jinzi responded, and footsteps followed.

"Zheng Chan, really, you could have just come inside; why stand outside..."

Upon smelling the incredibly foul stench, she understood why Liu Zheng didn’t come in.

"Zheng Chan, did you fall into a septic tank or something?"

She asked, holding her nose.

"Worse than that. Can you clean me up here?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"No can do, the layer of sludge on you is too stubborn; even if we used up all the strong cleaners in the bathhouse, it might not wash off."

Jinzi assessed.

"Alright. No worries, let’s wait for reinforcements and see."
