It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 2 Handover
"Come with me."

The cow horse shook its tail and took Liu Zheng deeper into the restaurant.

Walking along the staff passage, the two soon came to a three-way intersection.

The left passage had red emergency lights on, the front passage was carpeted, and the right passage was blocked by two blue curtains.

He pricked up his ears and seemed to hear the sound of chopping bones coming from behind the curtain.

"Go straight ahead and you'll find the waiter's lounge, the right is the kitchen, and the left is our area. Remember, don't go the wrong way."

Niuma reminded.

What happens if you take the wrong path?
Niu Ma didn't say anything, and Liu Zheng didn't ask.

After walking a few steps to the left, he suddenly turned back.

Just now, he heard a woman's sharp scream.

Liu Zheng stopped and listened. The screaming continued, but it was getting weaker and weaker.

"She should not be dead yet. Do you want to save her?"

At some point, the huge bull's head approached his face.

Liu Zheng turned around and his hairy face seemed to be smiling.

"Do you want me to go?"

He stared into its big eyes and said.

"Work is so boring, it's nice to have some fun. But..."

The ox-horse raised its flexible front hooves, hooked Liu Zheng's shoulders and changed his direction.

"You're in luck. I really need a helper right now."

Liu Zheng was pushed forward by it, the force was so great that he could not resist.

“Everyone needs a job here.”

Amid Niu Ma's meaningful words, the two left the fork in the road.

The woman's screams gradually faded away and were left behind the curtain.

"arrive."

After a few minutes, Niu Ma let go of Liu Zheng's shoulders.

In front of the two people was a dark passage, and on the right was a somewhat old wooden door.

"That's the takeaway delivery outlet, and this is our lounge."

After Niuma finished speaking, he opened his mouth and rolled up his thick tongue, revealing the key hidden underneath.

It bit the key, trying to align it with the keyhole in the door.

Obviously, it is quite difficult.

"do you need my help?"

Liu Zheng couldn't bear it anymore.

"Oh, then come on."

The cows and horses opened their mouths and their smelly saliva dripped down the key.

He took the key calmly and inserted it into the keyhole.

With a creak, the door opened.

"Oh, well done. You are of some use after all."

The cows and horses praised.

Then, it turned its head and looked at its back, where a slender hand was stroking its fur.

"what are you doing?"

Niuma struggled to put on a frown.

"Wipe your hands."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

"I know, I mean, why are you wiping your hands on me?"

The breathing of the cattle and horses gradually became heavier.

"I never take advantage of others. I don't want saliva that's not mine."

He said seriously.

The nostrils of the cattle and horses suddenly flared open, and their eyes, as big as copper bells, flashed with ferocity.

Liu Zheng just looked at it calmly, with no fear or provocation in his eyes.

After a long time, the cows and horses snorted.

"Human, you are too clever."

It said in a muffled voice.

It knew that this human was testing its bottom line.

"Be smarter and die slower, right? You don't want to find a new partner so soon, do you?"

he replied.

"That's true. If I were to be killed by those idiots before, I'd be killed sooner or later. But being too smart will also lead to death."

Niuma snorted and said.

"Then you need to give more advice, Mr. Niu Ma."

Liu Zheng gave a brilliant smile.

"Why should I give you a heads up?"

The cows and horses looked at him with sidelong eyes.

"because."

Liu Zheng wanted to say, "Because you need my help," but saying this too much would definitely arouse Niu Ma's rebellious psychology.

He looked at the muscular body of the cows and horses, as well as their bulging spines, and an idea came to him.

"Boss, do you need a massage?"

"what?"

A big question mark appeared on the cow and horse’s head.

Ten minutes later, in the delivery man's lounge.

"Yes, yes, right there, try harder, I'm trying harder." The cow and horse lay on the ground with a happy smile on their faces.

"Don't worry, I'll fix it for you."

As Liu Zheng spoke, his hands wandered over the backs of the cows and horses.

"Boss, your spine is seriously deformed."

He said.

"How can I carry so many takeouts every day without getting deformed? I'm not a human like you who can carry things with my hands."

Niuma complained.

"Then why don't you hang it on the corner?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"No, that won't work. What if it gets damaged? The horns of us cows and horses are more important than your faces."

The cows and horses shook their heads vigorously.

"alright."

He didn't intend to delve into this inhumane matter.

This world looks very similar to the real world, but the sign at the door and the woman's screams remind him that they are not the same.

If I keep asking, I’m afraid I’ll lose my rationality again.

"Okay, get up and try moving around."

Twenty minutes later, Liu Zheng patted the cow and horse's buttocks.

"That's it, press it again."

The cows and horses reluctantly pushed themselves onto the ground with all four hooves and stood up.

It trotted around the lounge twice, an excited expression on its big face.

"You are really good, kid."

The cows and horses raised their hooves in praise.

"It's a little trick, not worth mentioning."

Liu Zheng said modestly.

He once practiced Bajiquan with a martial artist for a while.

The martial arts master's skills were not very good, but his bone-setting and massage skills were a family tradition.

Later, when Liu Zheng found that he couldn't learn any skills, he simply paid a little more money and learned the massage skills.

"Okay, I won't let you do it for nothing. Sit down, I'll explain the work to you."

Niuma said.

Liu Zheng looked around but didn't find any place to sit.

"Humans are trouble, wait."

Niuma spit out another key, then opened a locker and pulled out a small stool from it.

"Please sit down. This is what my last partner used."

"Then where is he now?"

Liu Zheng asked casually while fiddling with his stool.

"I went to the kitchen."

Niuma replied.

"Be a chef?"

“As food.”

"Uh, okay."

He shrugged, unexpected but reasonable.

“Have you ever worked as a delivery man before?”

Niuma asked.

“No.”

Liu Zheng thought about it and replied.

"Then I'll tell you the process."

Niuma didn't ask any more questions and continued talking.

"See that hole?"

It looked up and gestured.

Liu Zheng looked over and found a rectangular hole under the wooden door, blocked by a movable wooden board.

"Saw."

He nodded.

"When the business comes, someone will put a list through the hole. Wait half a minute and then go out, take the takeaway from the food truck, and then deliver the takeaway according to the information on the list. Do you understand?"

"understood."

"Well, that cabinet is for you to use. All the equipment is in it."

Liu Zheng checked the opened cabinet and found a set of work clothes, a mobile phone, and a map inside.

The phone was an old flip phone and had no contacts stored in it.

"Please write down my number."

The cows and horses reported a string of numbers.

Liu Zheng took note and saved it in his address book.

"Don't save it."

The cattle and horses stopped him.

"why?"

“That’s the first rule I’m going to tell you.”

The deep sounds of cattle and horses echoed in the lounge.

“Don’t save any numbers in your phone.”
