"Boss, is there anything I should pay attention to in the order delivered to the office building?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"The office building is quite troublesome."

Cow-Horse also frowned when he heard this.

"They rarely order takeout, but every time they are very difficult to deal with. Sometimes they ask you to help take out the garbage, and sometimes they ask you to help carry water."

"It's better for me to do it. For Rookie like you, they will only make things more difficult for you."

"Then is there any way to deal with them?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"First of all, don't even think about confronting them. Security guards in office buildings are not the same thing as security guards in communities. It would take a lot of effort for me to beat them up."

"Secondly, you can try to get close to their manager or something. It will be much easier to get the leader and the employees."

Cow-Horse replied.

"What if the person who ordered the food is the manager?"

"Then go find the general manager. There will always be someone with a bigger position."

Cow-Horse said nonchalantly.

"Boss, let's just say that as Deliveryman, Isn't it a bit condescending to approach someone else's general manager?"

Liu Zheng said tactfully.

"Pay attention to your identity, you are Deliveryman of Bloodstained Restaurant."

Cow-Horse said seriously.

"Remember, Restaurant will never give you an order that you can't deliver. You can either rely on your strength, luck, or brain, and there will always be a way."

"Of course, if you don't have anything, then go to Kitchen and report it yourself."

I went to Kitchen to report what I was going to do, and naturally I was making ingredients.

"Okay. Is there anything else?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Also, bring me a cup of Bad-Luck Coffee."

Cow-Horse took out a banknote and two coins and threw them to him.

"Just consider the rest as a tip."

It replied pretending to be generous.

"Haha, that's so generous."

Just charge those two coins and there won't be any tip left.

"Restaurant There should be coffee?"

Liu Zheng said doubtfully.

"Restaurant's coffee is just for fools. It's expensive and tastes bad."

Cow-Horse moved his hooves.

"The name Bad-Luck Coffee doesn't sound good, does it?"

"What do you know? This coffee is very popular now, but it's only open in office buildings, so it's not easy to buy."

Cow-Horse paused and said again.

"If you have money, buy more and I will help you share it with Kitchen."

"Okay."

Liu Zheng nodded.

He knows what Cow-Horse means.

It is going on vacation soon. At that time, it will be up to Liu Zheng to negotiate with Kitchen. It is necessary to build a good relationship.

"Go away, I'm going to sleep in my cage."

Cow-Horse After saying that, he went back to his nest and lay down on his back.

Looking at it like that, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for lunch to be served before I sit up.

Liu Zheng smiled, picked up the takeout box and walked out of the lounge.

There is already a lunch box on the dining car, and there is something lying next to the lunch box.

Drunk Ghost Hand.

It saw Liu Zheng coming out, stood up unsteadily, and then vomited out a pile of semi-solid mixed with glass slag.

"Uh"

Liu Zheng covered his nose.

The smell was comparable to the fart he farted before.

Fortunately I didn't spit on the lunch box.

Ghost Hand seemed to wake up a little after vomiting. He waved to Liu Zheng, then jumped out of the dining car and climbed towards Delivery Passage.

Are you letting yourself go with it?

He was originally going to deliver food, so he was on his way.

However, Liu Zheng didn't forget to put the takeout box into Legendary Delivery Box before leaving.

There is no movement in the takeout box, which means the food matches the takeout order.

So Liu Zheng followed Ghost Hand and walked into Delivery Passage.

The passage was still completely dark, and even with his vision enhanced by Legendary Disguise, he couldn't see anything.

But because I'm used to it, I won't panic.

After walking forward for about ten meters, Liu Zheng felt his shoulder being pushed, and his body turned involuntarily.

Then, Ghost Hand tugged on his trouser legs again, signaling him to move forward.

This passage is not a straight road?

Liu Zheng was a little surprised.

He used to feel his way around with his hands, and there were clearly walls on both sides.

However, considering the abnormality of this world, this kind of thing is normal.

After Liu Zheng hesitated for two seconds, he decided to follow Ghost Hand.

He now has the Legendary Disguise bonus, and is still capable of fighting in most situations.

If that doesn't work, he can still let the dog go.

Liu Zheng tentatively took a few steps forward, and it was smooth, as if there was a fork in the road here.

So he kept going until Ghost Hand stopped him.

It pulled Liu Zheng down, then pulled his tentacles forward to grope forward.

The cold, hard and smooth touch came, and Liu Zheng fumbled around for a while before becoming convinced.

This is a skeleton.

Judging from the shape, it should be human bones.

As for whether it was a man or a woman, he didn't have the ability to judge.

Why is there a skeleton in the secret passage of Delivery Passage?

Whose skeleton is this? Why did Ghost Hand bring him to find it?

A series of questions flooded into Liu Zheng's mind.

While he was thinking, Ghost Hand pushed him to turn in another direction, and then raised his tentacles.

Is this asking him to carry the bones on his back?

Liu Zheng tentatively carried the skeleton on his back. The weight was beyond his expectation, at least three to four hundred kilograms.

And there seems to be some force between the bones that connects them, preventing them from falling apart.

Sure enough, he guessed correctly.

As soon as Liu Zheng picked up the skeleton, Ghost Hand pulled him up and pushed him forward.

When they came to the exit of the passage, facing the absolute dividing line between light and darkness, Ghost Hand stopped.

On Liu Zheng's shoulder, Ghost Hand stayed for a long time.

It was a bit funny to say that he seemed to hear its breathing.

A hand can actually breathe?

I don't think of it growing a mouth and eating a wine bottle before, so that's not incomprehensible.

Mouth breathing is also breathing.

I just don't know if Ghost Hand snores when sleeping.

Finally, Ghost Hand jumped off his shoulder and returned to the darkness.

Liu Zheng squinted his eyes and walked towards the light carrying the skeleton on his back.

Once out of the tunnel, he lowered the bones.

Compared to its weight, the skeleton was actually quite thin, estimated to have been only about 1.7 meters tall during its lifetime.

There are no scars on the bones, but one right hand is missing, and the fracture is extremely smooth, as if it was born with a deformity.

Inexplicably, Liu Zheng thought of Ghost Hand.

Is it left or right handed?

The item introduction did not appear, and he could not use the system to know the origin of the skeleton.

Ghost Hand also did not tell Liu Zheng what to do with it.

However, he probably also has some guesses.

As for the skeleton, looking at this posture, there is no intention of resurrecting it, so naturally it will be laid to rest.

So the question is, where is the land where the most people are buried?

Liu Zheng picked up the skeleton and ran all the way to the street of French Plane Tree.

This time it didn't act like a monster, it just stayed there without even showing its face, just like a real tree.

"Morning! Mr. Tree."

Liu Zheng said hello energetically.

"Ahhhhhh!"

French Plane Tree's face appeared, and a burst of screams broke out.

"It's so early in the morning, why are you so crazy?"

He covered his ears and said.

"Are you really sick? I've been fishing all day!"

French Plane Tree cursed loudly.

"Fish? Where did the fish come from?"

Liu Zheng I feel that this tree is sick, and the disease is not clear.

"Who told you that fish can only be found in the water, and fish in the soil are really fresh. I pretended to be my Zhizhang compatriots all day long, and then I attracted a group of native carp over. You scared them all away with your voice."

French Plane Tree looked at him with cannibalistic eyes.

"Ahaha, the weather is really nice today."

Liu Zheng Look up at the sky.

"You'd better have something good or good news, otherwise I can't kill you, but I can still make you suffer a little."

French Plane Tree said fiercely.

"No good news, but I brought you a bottle of something nice to drink."

Liu Zheng put down the skeleton and prepared to take out the prepared drink.

Suddenly, he saw French Plane Tree's face change drastically.

"Li! Like Li!"
