The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1313 - 805: Black Claw Returns from the Garbage Processing Plant

Chapter 1313: Chapter 805: Black Claw Returns from the Garbage Processing Plant

"I’m back, meow!"

With a robust call, San Huamao returned to the lounge.

"Welcome back."

Liu Zheng’s smile suddenly froze.

"Wait, where did you just come in from?"

He asked.

"From below, meow."

San Huamao pointed at the movable wooden board.

"Isn’t that Ghost Hand’s special entrance and exit?"

Liu Zheng asked in confusion.

"Is it? Salmon didn’t know, meow."

San Huamao replied.

"Then why didn’t you just come in through the door?"

He asked.

"Because cats are supposed to come in through doors like this, meow."

San Huamao said confidently.

"...Alright."

He gave up arguing with a cat about whether it should use the front door.

But it seemed there was no issue with it, San Huamao was now a temporary employee in the delivery department, so it could come in however it wanted.

"What happened to your neck?"

Liu Zheng picked it up and noticed a large patch of fur missing from its neck, exposing the skin underneath, fortunately without bleeding.

"Bitten by a dog, meow."

San Huamao said while licking its fur.

"Was it a dog that didn’t look like a dog?"

He had a bad feeling.

Or maybe it should be a not-a-dog that looked like a dog.

"No, meow, just a regular dog, meow. It was yellowish, with black paws, and no hair on its entire head, ugly as hell, meow."

San Huamao replied.

"Oh, that’s fine then."

As long as it wasn’t Tendaros.

Wait!

"Did you just say its paws were black?"

Liu Zheng again caught the key point.

"Yeah, what’s the matter, meow? Are dogs with black paws special, meow?"

San Huamao asked puzzledly.

Dogs with black paws aren’t special, but a dog with black paws that can bite like that is special.

"Is it the one who ordered the food?"

He asked.

"No, meow, I ran into it on the way back, meow."

San Huamao shook its head.

"So how did you end up fighting?"

"It suddenly rushed at Salmon, meow, Salmon didn’t want to fight it at all, meow."

San Huamao said with an unhappy expression.

"Yes, yes, it was too mean, our Salmon is the prettiest and nicest little kitten in the Metropolis."

Liu Zheng quickly smoothed its fur, and San Huamao soon began to purr comfortably.

"Could you beat it?"

He asked again.

"I don’t know, meow. That dog seemed off too, meow."

San Huamao replied.

"In what way was it off?"

"That dog is a hollow shell, empty from flesh to soul."

The Pond Master suddenly appeared.

When he was outside, he would enter a state of feigned death, but he still had some perception of the outside world, especially when San Huamao was attacked, this perception strengthened.

Of course, this could also easily attract the sewer’s attention, so his tone wasn’t particularly nice.

"Is the flesh hollow?"

Liu Zheng caught the key phrase.

He remembered Niu Ma had mentioned that Black Claw, the guitarist and lead singer of the Animal Manor Band, went to the Garbage Processing Plant to open a treasure box and ended up being gutted.

And like Yellow Monkey, apparently, they didn’t leave any soul behind.

"It’s matching up more and more..."

Liu Zheng felt uneasy and immediately called Fisherman.

"What now?"

Fisherman asked impatiently.

"Uncle, is the monkey I sent down beside you?"

He asked.

"Don’t call me that!"

Fisherman shivered, feeling his hair stand on end.

Calling him father-in-law was annoying, but calling him uncle meant he really intended to take action.

"Fine, father-in-law. Quickly answer, quickly answer."

Liu Zheng urged.

"The next time you come to the sewer, I’ll make sure to teach you what manners are. Just wait!"

Fisherman said through gritted teeth.

"Brother Liu, Boss Liu, Grandpa Liu! Spare me, let me leave here, I really can’t eat another bite of shit."

A moment later, Hou Taotao’s wailing could be heard over the phone.

"Answer a few questions for me first, if you can’t answer well I’ll just get rid of you, and you won’t have to eat shit anymore."

Liu Zheng said in a sinister tone.

"No, you can’t, my uncle won’t let you kill me."

Hou Taotao hesitated for a moment and then shouted.

"If you’re dead, would he really kill his brother for a dead nephew?"

He sneered.

"No, don’t kill me, I won’t gamble again, I really won’t gamble again."

Hou Taotao cried out.

Being trapped in the sewer and having eaten shit for several days, his sanity was already on the brink of collapse.

"Then answer my questions properly, if I’m satisfied with your answers, you can rest today."

Liu Zheng said.

"Ask, ask quickly."

Hou Taotao shouted as if grabbing a lifeline.

"Have you seen Black Claw?"

He asked.

"Yes, I’ve seen it several times." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Hou Taotao immediately replied.

"What does it look like?"

"What does it look like? Like a dog."

Hou Taotao didn’t quite grasp it.

"What color is its fur?"

Liu Zheng didn’t lose his temper, instead, he posed a more specific question.

"Yellow! Oh, no, wait, I think its face is white, with two black spots on its muzzle, like whiskers. Oh right, its paws seem black too, it’s a calico dog."

"My dad even teased it, saying it’s lucky to be a dog and not a cat, otherwise it would have ended up being a female."

Hou Taotao’s memory gradually became clearer.

The clues matched, everything matched.

It might be a coincidence if one thing matched, but having everything match was impossibility.

Even though his guess was confirmed, Liu Zheng felt no joy.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want Niu Ma and the brotherhood to reunite, but this Black Claw clearly wasn’t normal.

"Did your dad ever tell you how Black Claw died?"
