"Demon, do you also want to eat 'meat'?"

Oink said to the lighted room.

That room was exactly Casino that Liu Zheng had been to.

"It's just a little bit of 'meat', I still don't like it. It's just Oink, you broke the rules by bringing people in Black Market in advance, so I have to take action."

The voice of Demon came from Casino.

"Who do you think you are?"

Oink said unceremoniously.

"Of all Black Market, you are the most unruly. Why are you showing off now?"

"Oink, you can eat 'meat' indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. When did I break the rules?"

Demon barked like a dog whose tail was stepped on.

"Really? Many of these 'meats' were deceived by you into bankruptcy and had no choice but to sell themselves to me. Do you want me to release all their memories?"

Oink sneered.

"Hmph, you can let it go if you want. I've always driven Casino out of your own free will. It's fair and just. There's nothing I can't say."

Demon said righteously.

Then, the light of Casino went out instantly.

"Spit!"

Oink spit out a big mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground.

"Where to go?"

it asked Cow-Horse.

"That one."

Cow-Horse pointed to a room on the right and said.

"Wish-Granting House? It seems that you have been preparing for a long time."

Oink twitched the corner of his mouth.

Wish-Granting House is a rather strange existence in Black Market. The boss inside has great powers. No matter what request you make, he can almost do it.

But the premise is that you must be able to make the request.

Almost 99% of the people who enter Wish-Granting House will be thrown out by the boss in the name of being unlucky before making a request, and they will lose a lot of ticket money in vain.

After more people were fooled, Wish-Granting House almost no one went there.

"This is actually just an accident."

Cow-Horse scratched his chin awkwardly.

Last time White-Feather Chicken bought a batch of fake wine and sold it at a low price based on the principle of not wasting it.

It was fine when it first finished drinking, but became confused as soon as it entered Black Market, and then accidentally bumped into Wish-Granting House.

As a result, when the boss saw Cow-Horse, he said he was destined to it and asked it what its requirements were.

So Cow-Horse joked and asked if he could help him get an exit quota.

In the end, the boss really agreed, but he kept it until now because he couldn't afford the price.

"Drinking will cause trouble, how many times have I told you."

Oink sounded like he hated iron.

Cow-Horse can only keep his eyebrows down and accept the punishment honestly.

Liu Zheng watched on the side and almost laughed out loud.

Sure enough, the boss still needs to be sharpened.

Opening the door, the three of them entered Wish-Granting House.

The space inside is not large, and what comes into view is the divination house-style decoration.

More than a dozen candles burned with red flames, and the surrounding walls were covered with shelves, on which were placed various items of unknown meaning but that looked mysterious and evil at first glance.

The table facing the door was covered with a purple silk tablecloth. On the tablecloth were placed tarot cards, turtle shells, compasses, copper coins, divining rods, etc.

In the middle of various divination props is a huge crystal skull.

"Oink, what kind of wind brings you here?"

Two orange-red flames ignited in the eyes of the crystal skull, looking at Oink.

"Don't worry about me, Everything Shop, I'm just a porter."

Oink said lightly.

"Okay, since you ask so."

Everything Shop's flame trembled and looked towards Liu Zheng.

"Well, it's a strange face. I could only see your fate six days ago. Interesting, interesting."

The flame of Everything Shop lit up, and the candlelight in the room also became a little brighter.

"Your Mirai is really muddy. There are so many hands trying to hold you in their palms. Poor little bird, how are you going to escape from this cage?"

Everything Shop sighed.

"Why run away?"

Liu Zheng said.

"What did you say?"

Everything Shop didn't expect it would get such an answer.

"Three monks had no water to drink, and with so many hands, they started fighting themselves."

"Besides, I can't escape, and I even want to poop in their hands."

he said with a smile.

"Quack, quack, interesting, interesting."

Everything Shop opened and closed its jaws up and down, making a hollow laugh.

"You and I are destined, tell me, what do you want?"

it asked.

"Kill Peacock?"

Liu Zheng asked tentatively.

As long as Peacock is killed, he won't have to run away and the problem will be solved fundamentally.

"Okay."

Everything Shop readily agreed.

"So powerful? What's the price?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Ten million servings of meat are enough."

Everything Shop said.

"Excuse me. Boss, you'd better do it."

He stepped aside.

Ten million servings of meat, even Oink himself can't make up a fraction of it.

"Oh, it's you, Cow-Horse. I haven't been here for so many years, I thought you had given up."

Everything Shop said as if he just noticed Cow-Horse.

"I'm just waiting for the right opportunity."

Cow-Horse said.

"Then have you waited?"

Everything Shop asked.

"Waiting. I would like to ask you to help me arrange an exit quota for this human being."

"Okay. A thousand servings of meat."

Everything Shop said simply.

"Boss."

Cow-Horse looked at Oink.

Oink walked forward silently and placed the human figure in front of the crystal skull.

"What a great craftsmanship, worthy of Heaven Butcher."

Everything Shop praised, then jumped on the humanoid.

It opened its mouth and bit the human body with its gumless teeth, like a ferocious beast biting its prey.

The flesh and blood it swallowed disappeared as if it had entered a black hole, and the flesh and blood stuck to its face was also absorbed by its skull.

Soon, the humanoid figure composed of a thousand portions of "meat" was completely eaten by Everything Shop.

"It's been a long time since I've had something like this, burp~"

It burped, and the flames in its eyes turned into arcs representing smiles.

"I'll leave it to you to decide the quota."

Cow-Horse said.

"When?"

Everything Shop asked.

"Have it done by tomorrow morning."

"So urgent? Well, considering Heaven Butcher's skills, there is no problem."

Everything Shop agreed.

Processing "meat" is also a profound skill, and the figure alone is worth a hundred portions of meat.

"His name is Liu Zheng."

Cow-Horse told Everything Shop his name. As for his identity, it goes without saying. He is still wearing his uniform.

"Liu Zheng, I've written it down. If you trust me, you can tell me the reason why you want to leave the country. Maybe, I can find the most suitable one for him."

Everything Shop said suddenly.

"I bombed the first-floor office building of Peacock. She is going to order takeout tomorrow and wants to kill me, so I plan to leave the country and hide for a while."

Liu Zheng saw Cow-Horse nodding, so he told Everything Shop the matter.

"I see, I understand. Come on, okay, you can go."

Everything Shop said.

When the three people left Wish-Granting House, a dark palm stretched out from the mouth of the crystal skull.

It fumbled to reach the deck of tarot cards, holding down the first card to open it.

Red and white flames emerged from the cards at the same time, burning the black hand until it made a sizzling sound.

"Hiss~"

Everything Shop let out a cry of pain and then retracted his palm.

Soon, the entire deck of tarot cards was burned to ashes by the flames, and the red and white fires were automatically extinguished.

"How stingy, I won't even let you look at it."

The black hand retracted into his skull, Everything Shop complained.

"However, there will always be a time when he makes a wish to me. When the time comes, you won't be able to stop him. Gaga gah~"

Crystal Bones let out a kaba kaba laugh.

The candle went out and Wish-Granting House fell into darkness.

--

After leaving Black Market, the two returned to the lounge.

"Boss, I'll give you the medal back."

Liu Zheng took out Memorial Medal.

Since there is no need to deliver food, this is useless.

On the contrary, Cow-Horse, looking back, I guess Peacock will take it out on him, so this should be able to save his life.

Cow-Horse said nothing, took Memorial Medal, and swallowed it.

"Have you put the chip away?"

it asked.

"Put it away."

Liu Zheng nodded.

The chip was not an item recognized by the system, so he could only put it into Legendary Delivery Box.

"Very well, never take it out before leaving Borderlands."

Cow-Horse warned.

"If you can't take it out, how will you use it then?"

he asked.

"No need, it will work automatically."

Cow-Horse shook his head and said.

"Okay."

"The outside world may not be as safe as Metropolis, so if you find that you can't stay any longer, you can come back. However, you must throw away the chip before you come back."

Cow-Horse said.

"Okay, I remember."

"Hmm."

Cow-Horse seemed a little tired, and after answering, he lay back on his Haystack.

This time there was no Sudoku magazine, and the snoring soon started.

But it didn't last long. About two hours later, the phone rang.

"Yes, boss."

It answered the call and quickly hung up.

"The boss asked you to find her."

After saying that, Cow-Horse closed his eyes again.

Liu Zheng quietly left the lounge and took the elevator to Si Xue's office.

It's still the classic lava background, but there is no longer a towering Platinum Throne on top of the lava, but a large bathtub.

Si Xue is lying in the melted gold, his hands resting on the edge of the bathtub, and half of the circumscribed circle is exposed above Golden Fluid.

"Come here."

She waved to Liu Zheng, who immediately ran over.

"Give me a massage."

Si Xue ordered.

"Okay, boss, where do you want to press?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Where do you want to press?"

Si Xue said with a half-smile.

"Press your head, I'm a professional in hair treatments."

His eyes swept over the circumscribed circle stained with Golden Fluid, and landed on Si Xue's head.

"Then press it."

Si Xue closed his eyes.

"Okay, boss."

The four tentacles work separately, two on the top of the head and two on the neck.

"It seems I still underestimated your ability."

Si Xue said suddenly.

"People from the City Hall just informed me that there will be an opportunity for overseas purchasing tomorrow and mentioned your name."

Liu Zheng didn't speak, just focused on massaging.

"That's fine, I can be quiet for a few days if you go out."

Si Xue doesn't need him to speak either.

"I have already told Napoleon to ask Kitchen to also send out Renhe for you to go with. It will contact you later."

She continued.

"Okay boss."

Liu Zheng finally spoke.

Si Xue lifted one foot, and on the white, tender and plump foot, a drop of Golden Fluid swayed slightly.

"Lick it down."

she ordered.
