Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 113 has appeared! (rd update)

This peace locket is quite interesting, but Xiao Ran doesn't plan to hang it on the door.

Put it away first, and wait until I go to Guling Street to take a look. If it is suitable, I can hang it there.

“The sign has changed.”

At this time, Wu Man came again with a food box.

"Yeah, I just changed it this morning."

"Hahaha, I just saw the words 'dog thief' on the door. Now I feel relieved, right?"

As Wu Man was talking, he noticed the instant noodles in Xiao Ran's bowl and frowned: "You are a boss after all, you are not so poor, are you? Why do you still eat instant noodles?"

"I don't want to order takeout, and I'm too lazy to cook, so I can only cook instant noodles myself."

In fact, when it comes to money, Xiao Ran really has no shortage of it.

The old man left me a sum of money, and I have earned some of it over the years.

If you don't count the "ghost money" you have, you would probably have about 300,000 in savings.

I don't buy a house or a car, so this money is definitely enough for me to spend.

Oh, by the way, the bottle in my hand is worth 600,000.

It’s just that Xiao Ran has no desire to consume.

Speaking of which, he also has his inferiority complex, such as the smell of corpse on his body, which can't be dispelled no matter how he washes. Therefore, traveling, consumption, bars and other places where young people spend their time have nothing to do with him. Gradually, he got used to his current life.

"Well, takeout isn't clean either. There are more pre-prepared dishes now. Eat mine."

As Wu Man spoke, he took away Xiao Ran's bowl of noodles, opened the lunch box, and took out two exquisite side dishes, stir-fried bean sprouts, stir-fried vegetables, and a serving of beef noodles.

"Last time you said it was too sweet, so this time I specially prepared a side dish for you. It's vegetarian and more to your taste. Beef noodles, a new addition to my restaurant, try it and see how it tastes."

Stir-fried bean sprouts and vegetables look very clean and fresh.

As for the beef noodles, it had a bright red soup, topped with a side of beef, an egg, a sausage, and red chilies bubbling in the bowl, and it looked very appetizing.

Xiao Ran looked at the beef noodles and side dishes that were handed to him. This time he did not hesitate at all and picked up the bowl and chopsticks to start eating.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you? Or..."

Seeing Xiao Ran being so cooperative this time, Wu Man leaned on the counter and said with a smirk on his face.

"No need. Since I am willing to believe it, I'd better believe it generously."

"Don't be so sincere, I'll be touched!"

Wu Man raised the corners of his lips and glanced around other places in the store.

"what!!"

At this time, Wu Man noticed the white cat on the shelf, which was curiously sticking its head out to look at him.

Seeing this, Wu Man waved his hand and took out a small box from the space. When he opened it, there were small golden dried fish inside.

"Would you like to try some dried fish that I made myself?"

Wu Man picked up a piece and waved it at the white cat, then placed the dried fish on the table.

"Meow!"

The white cat jumped lightly from the shelf, approached the dried fish and sniffed it a few times, then raised its head with a look of disgust, gently pushed the dried fish with its paw, turned around and jumped back onto the shelf. This time, even the curiosity it had towards Wu Man was gone.

Wu Man's expression froze on her face. She looked at her dried fish in confusion, not understanding what went wrong.

"Ah! I'm full."

In just a short while, Xiao Ran had eaten all the food in no time.

Seeing Wu Man still staring at his dried fish in a daze, he reminded him, "Maybe it prefers to eat fresh ones."

"Uh... okay, I'll come back tomorrow."

Wu Man nodded in frustration, and without even asking Xiao Ran for his opinion, she left the store holding the lunch box.

As soon as Wu Man left, the white cat suddenly jumped down from the shelf, picked up the dried fish on the table, and went into its nest to enjoy it.

Xiao Ran: ???
After staring at the white cat for a while, Xiao Ran couldn't help but curl his lips: "What kind of world is this? Even cats are playing the art of war?"

Then he lifted up his coat and took a look at the [Black Swan Brooch] on his chest.

Although she always felt that Wu Man was a little too helpful, the Black Swan Brooch never alerted her.

This was also the reason why he dared to eat without worry. If Wu Man had any ill will towards him, the knife he had placed under the table would have been used to chop him first.

"But just because I have no ill intentions doesn't mean I don't have any intentions. Take your time in the future. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to reveal your true colors."

After wiping off the writing on the roller shutter door outside the door, Xiao Ran closed the door early and went to the backyard.

Looking at the corpse in the corpse well, wisps of black smoke had already begun to emerge from its body.

"Okay, that's faster than I thought."

Xiao Ran nodded. According to the Yiju School's corpse-raising method, this was the evil corpse.

The presence of corpse evil means that the corpse has begun to change.

This place is at the foot of Beimang Mountain, where the yin energy is much heavier than in other places. The speed at which the corpse evil forms is far beyond what is recorded in the Yiju School's mental methods.

Just in case, Xiao Ran deliberately cut a hole in the two-faced ghost dog's body, sutured it, and then left a cluster mark on it.

After the transformation is complete, use the Yiju School's method to control the corpse. Once they start to backfire, immediately activate the Cluster and quickly transform it into a puppet, which is like double insurance.

Looking at the corpses in the corpse well, which were already faintly covered with white hair, Xiao Ran thought that he would only need to wait a few more days. After they had completed their transformation, he would enter the mystery city and attack the D-level corpse collector. In the next few days, Wu Man would come to the store on time every noon with a lunch box.

In addition to delivering meals to Xiao Ran, he would also bring an extra portion of cat food every time.

However, Wu Man was obviously a little unsure about the taste of the white cat. For example, the white cat only took a light bite of the shrimp sashimi he made, then turned around and left without any hesitation.

Wu Man thought that the fish was not fresh enough, or that some vegetables were added to it and the cat didn't like it, so the next day he brought some crispy fish bone cookies that he had baked himself. This time, the white cat didn't move and didn't even open its eyes.

The white cat ate the sardine puree slowly and politely, but before Wu Man could be happy, he left most of it there without eating it.

"What does your cat usually eat?" Wu Man looked at the remaining half of sardine paste and looked at Xiao Ran with a strange expression.

"I don't know." Xiao Ran glanced at the white cat's increasingly bloated belly and said, "Sometimes it catches mice on its own, and sometimes it fights for food with the old Huang next door."

"Who is Lao Huang? A famous chef?" Wu Man widened his eyes.

"No, a dog."

Wu Man: ???
After a moment, Wu Man glanced at the white cat with resentment, then squinted at Xiao Ran: "So how do you think the food I cooked today tastes?"

“I’ve had better.”

Xiao Ran turned his head away without even looking at Wu Man's eyes which were about to burst into anger.

"Fine!"

Wu Man walked away with the food box in a huff. As soon as Wu Man left, the white cat jumped down as usual and started eating the remaining cat food in big mouthfuls.

"Speaking of which, can't you change your strategy? Your belly has become rounder recently, right?"

Xiao Ran stared at the white cat's belly and complained.

During this time, Xiao Ran watched the white cat playing hard to get with Wu Man, over and over again. He was really worried that one day Wu Man would find out that he had been tricked by a cat and would be so angry that he would go crazy.

The white cat finished eating, licked its paws, and as if it didn't hear Xiao Ran's complaints at all, it stretched, walked back to its cat bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

Sometimes, Xiao Ran was a little envious of this guy. He would sleep after eating every day, and eat after sleeping well. His life was happier than that of other people.

Xiao Ran took out the mystery city pointer box from the space, opened it and took a look. Seeing that there was no movement on the box, he put the box on the table, closed the shop door, went upstairs, lay on the bed and started to check his phone.

News about the dog's home is still being reported on the Internet.

Of course it's all negative.

However, it is gratifying that the death of the truck driver attracted the attention of many people. Upon learning that his family still owed a large sum of money for famine relief, many people reached out to help and donated money to the driver's family.

It's a rather gratifying thing.

It is said that new evidence has been found to prove that Datou and his gang maliciously cut off the car. Although Datou and his gang are dead, the driver's family can still ask for compensation from Datou's family if they are willing.

Unless Datou's family gives up inheriting the inheritance left by Datou, they will definitely have to pay the money.

Keep watching videos.

【See Yunchang in Guanlin Temple! 】

I clicked on it and saw it was Lu Cheng. In the video, Lu Cheng was wearing simple clothes and singing "A Thousand Miles Alone" to everyone in Guanlin Temple. Although he was not wearing a theatrical costume and had no mask on his face, his expression already gave him a bit of the feeling of Guan Yu.

There were many positive comments below, and someone even posted the picture of Lu Cheng and the drunk Guan Gong that night, which amazed many people. They all expressed their desire to go to Guanlin Temple to worship Guandi when they have time.

"Well, this can be considered as diverting traffic to Guanlin Temple, right?"

However, seeing the confidence in Lu Cheng's expression, Xiao Ran was really happy for Lu Cheng.

With nothing to do, Xiao Ran tried to search for information about the mystery city on the Internet.

As expected, there was no information at all.

But at this time, a post called "Fog is Coming" appeared in Xiao Ran's sight.

After clicking on it, there were several blurry photos in the post. There was white fog in the photos, and from a distance, it seemed like there were ancient buildings inside.

The poster of the post is called Alei

"This fog is definitely real, and I have confirmed it with several friends. They have also seen similar fogs, but every time they get close, they are stopped by someone because the road ahead is either being repaired or the route is temporarily controlled."

There are a few more photos in the post below.

There was a lively discussion in the post, and several people claimed that they had encountered similar situations.

A Lei: "I have found a good idea. I plan to try it today. Is there anyone who would like to join me?"

"It seems that the people who know about the Mystery City are not just the beginners. I wonder if ordinary people will gradually become beginners as more and more beginners come to the city?"

Xiao Ran pondered in his heart.

Xiao Ranben tried to leave a message under the post to see if he could be included, but just as he was about to send the message, the post was locked.

At this time, he noticed that there was a communication group below. Out of curiosity, Xiao Ran tried to join it.

There are not many people in the group, only a dozen or so.

When Xiao Ran entered, the group owner was sending a message in the group; "Brothers, I have arrived at the place, and the roads nearby have been closed. I must be right."

As he spoke, he kept taking out his cell phone to take pictures for the group.

Xiao Ran took a look and realized that this was the stadium in Yibin District.
This guy was hiding in the corner of the stadium. He could vaguely see a cloud of white mist in the distance, which was slowly approaching this side.

Xiao Ran sat up suddenly.

"It can't be wrong! Did this guy really find it?"

He immediately started to change his clothes quickly, and while looking at the message on his phone, he ran downstairs quickly. He had been waiting for many days, but he didn't expect to find out the direction of the mystery city in this way...
