The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 524 - 408: If You Have a Girl Today, Sleep With Her
"Did you tell him about Granny Qian?"
Mr. Batiao suddenly asked.
"Not yet."
Thirteen shook his head.
"When do you plan to tell him?"
"Let’s wait and see a bit longer, at least until the dust settles on this matter."
Thirteen said.
First, he wanted to see if Liu Zheng could successfully rescue the people and co back unscathed.
Second, he wanted to see if Liu Zheng could keep those who had helped him safe.
Last, he wanted to see Liu Zheng’s attitude towards him.
"If the dust settles, do you really plan to let him bring back Granny Qian?"
Mr. Batiao asked.
"Granny Tang has beco more and more reckless in her actions. If this continues, the people at the bathhouse will truly scatter. If Hundred Ghosts falls apart in my hands, how could I face the previous directors?"
Thirteen said seriously.
"Your assimilation process has deepened again."
Mr. Batiao, upon hearing such impassioned words, showed no emotion on his face but instead furrowed his brows.
Given Thirteen’s personality, even if he thought this way, he wouldn’t normally say such words.
"Can’t help it, who made such an excellent director?"
Thirteen said proudly.
The souls of the forr directors would be partly recalled to the bathhouse after their death and then worshipped.
The new director could then communicate with these souls to gain their experience and skills, which is also considered a perk of being the director.
Thirteen’s "Southern Dipper Dark Demon Fist" was learned from one of these forr directors’ souls.
However, such communication could also influence the new director’s personality, and eventually, they might even be possessed by those souls.
The more the souls recognized the new director, the more efficient the communication would be.
At the sa ti, directors who were more loyal to Hundred Ghosts left behind more of their souls.
This is both a binding and a benefit for the directors.
"You actually feel smug about it. I’d like to see what you’d do if you got possessed."
Mr. Batiao said discontentedly.
"Love the girl today, sleep with her tonight, enjoy the present, why bother with so much? You are cautious, always having a backup plan. Have you been happy during your hundred years as a director?"
Thirteen said nonchalantly.
"You’re not ; how would you know whether I’m unhappy? My granddaughter is both smart and filial. I want to live to see her get married and establish herself, and then have a great-grandson for . You think everyone’s like you, a loner."
Mr. Batiao said tauntingly.
"Hey, Mr. Batiao, personal attacks are not fun. You just ntioned great-grandson, you don’t plan to take a son-in-law by any chance, do you?"
"Why not? Given my granddaughter’s qualifications, it’s not just about taking one son-in-law, she’s worthy of ten."
Mr. Batiao said proudly.
"That’s right; among the young n of our bathhouse, she can easily pick and choose. But I think you don’t want soone else, you’re after the guy from Ren He, aren’t you?"
Thirteen pierced through his thoughts.
"So what if I am?"
"I have no objections, but that kind of person probably won’t agree to beco a son-in-law."
Thirteen shook his head.
"If it cos to it, I’ll give him all my belongings. Just have a few more children, and choose one to take my surna."
Mr. Batiao had already made up his mind.
"You’re really willing to go that far."
Thirteen said, astonished.
Although the boiler room wasn’t as lucrative as the Massage Departnt, Mr. Batiao had been a director for over a hundred years, and one could imagine how substantial his wealth had beco.
Even in the city, it was enough to live a middle-class life or better.
"The people of Zhendan have an old saying, ’The love of parents for their children leads them to plan for the long-term.’ People like you without children wouldn’t understand."
Mr. Batiao taunted again.
"As if being good to your children guarantees their filial piety."
Thirteen rolled his eyes.
He didn’t have children, but there was a whole bunch of them under his watch who had started families, and not a few who had illegitimate children.
To say they were smart and filial was an overstatent, just staying out of trouble was model child behavior.
"Exactly, that’s why I need to cherish my wonderful granddaughter even more. Got a problem with that?"
Mr. Batiao stated righteously.
"...No problem. Damn it, when I get back, I’ll find Elder Qing. I’ve helped her so much this ti; it’s not too much to ask her to have a child with , right?"
Thirteen cursed and muttered.
"You better think about how to deal with Granny Tang first, she’s not going to let you off easily this ti."
"Pshh, am I scared of her? If she’s capable, let her send to the pig farm."
"Hey hey, what, I got it, I’ll be right there."
Thirteen raised his phone and pretended to take a call.
"So, I’ve got so urgent business, gotta go first."
He waved goodbye and hurried away.
"Even as a director, you’re still so shaless."
Mr. Batiao felt speechless.
But it’s also good in a way; the more resolute one’s personality, the smaller the chance of being possessed.
"Is it really a good idea to bring back Granny Qian?"
He muttered to himself.
Then he shook his head and walked towards the boiler room with the golden balls.

"Did you wade through the sewer again?"
Looking at Liu Zheng covered in filth, Doctor Nile asked with so aversion.
"How could that be? You’ve been to the sewer yourself; does this sll anything like it?"
He said earnestly.
You disgust , I disgust you.
"Yuck! Stop it, stop it, I’m about to throw up the honey drink I just had."
Sure enough, this tactic was extraordinarily effective on Doctor Nile, who had also tasted the filth of the sewer.
"Heh heh. Where are those cheerful folks?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"They’re afraid that gathering together would make us an easy target, so they’re all hiding in the shadows, telling us to just go ahead."
Doctor Nile said.
