Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 145: Bone Spirit Street Arrived (Fifth Update)
As Xiao Ran finished speaking.

The four beggars were stunned.

The leading beggar was about to point at Xiao Ran and curse him, but unexpectedly, Xiao Ran suddenly stepped forward and slapped him in the face.

"Snapped!!"

This is a carriage, and the space is limited. The beggar had no time to hide this time. Xiao Ran slapped him hard and he flew up. His head hit the roof of the car with a "bang".

Then there was a loud "bang" and he fell down heavily.

The driver sitting in the chair looked at Xiao Ran with some surprise.

It has been such a short time since we last saw each other, and this kid's strength has improved so rapidly. A simple smile appeared on that bear-like face. He stepped on the accelerator and slowly started to drive to the next stop.

[Next stop, Guling Street, please hold on to your seats...]

When the other three beggars saw their boss being beaten, they immediately prepared to retreat, while raising the black bowls in their hands, ready to give Xiao Ran a good beating.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran was faster than them.

He leaped in front of a beggar, the red armband on his shoulder flashed strange spell patterns, and a red light shone on the beggar's face.

"Check the ticket!"

As Xiao Ran shouted the word "ticket check", the beggars in front of him froze all of a sudden. Only then did they notice the red armband on Xiao Ran's shoulder. All of a sudden, the four beggars realized that the situation was not good.

F-level cursed item: Red armband trainee

While the bus is running, you can "check tickets" for any passenger on the bus. If the other party cannot produce a ticket, you can perform a curse and make the passenger make the following choices.

Privilege 1: Ticket Purchase

But it will be calculated at three times the fare.

Privilege 2: Cursed Pact

Triggers a curse, causing the target to fall into a 30-second rigidity period during which the target cannot move and the damage taken is increased by 1.5 times. The target can choose to pay ten times the ticket price (mortgage the cursed object) to lift the curse, or endure the 30-second rigidity period.

(Note 1: If the target survives the 30-second stiffness period, you will not be able to check the target again!)

(Note 2: You can only use the ticket checking right twice for each stop. This cursed item can only be used on bus No. [404].)
The beggar whose ticket was checked by Xiao Ran hesitated for a while, then turned his eyes and noticed the black machete in Xiao Ran's hand, and hurriedly said, "I'll buy a new ticket!"

As he said this, he took out three paper money from his pocket.

"late!"

A fierce look appeared on Xiao Ran's face. He raised the machete in his hand and chopped it towards the beggar's head.

"Ding-bell-dang-dang..."

Three paper money rolled to the ground, and blood smeared the floor of the car along the beggar's body.

The other three beggars were stunned. They also often took the bus and knew the rules on the bus. Xiao Ran broke the rules so blatantly, so how could the driver not care? ?

However, what was strange was that the driver was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he grinned and pretended not to see anything.

Xiao Ran raised the knife and stared coldly at the three beggars in front of him: "You robbed the bus ticket inspector and dared to refuse to check the ticket. Now the fine will be doubled. Either pay the money or pay your life."

"You are talking nonsense!!"

The leading beggar widened his eyes and glared at Xiao Ran.

However, Xiao Ran nodded seriously: "You are right."

The next moment, Xiao Ran rushed to the beggar leader and activated the [Red Armband] privilege again. As the light red light shone on the beggar leader's head, a look of fear appeared on the beggar leader's dark face.

"Check your tickets! Pay the money, or be punished!"

As Xiao Ran said this, he had already raised the knife above his head, with a murderous look in his eyes, which made the beggar leader panic and took two steps back: "Pay up, pay up, I'll pay up..."

……

"squeak……"

The bus slowly stopped at a wasteland, and three beggars were seen tumbling out of the back door. Then Xiao Ran's curse was heard from inside: "Take the garbage with you!"

Then a corpse and a head were kicked out of the car.

"Bang!" sound.

The car door closed again, and the roar of the engine faded away.

Only three beggars who had lost even their jobs were left. Looking at the bodies of their brothers on the ground, they felt like crying but had no tears.

"Brother, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xiao Ran walked to the driver, took out ten paper money for the dead and put them in the small bag next to the driver.

Five of them were the share money that I had to pay. The other five were the fines that I had to pay, after all, I was the one who made the floor dirty.

The driver smiled and took the money: "No need to be so polite, if you want to rip it off, you only need to pay another five dollars."

The driver knew that Xiao Ran let the other three beggars go because he didn't want to dirty the carriage, and he was also afraid that the beggars would resist and damage the carriage.

"It's not good to trouble you all the time."

As Xiao Ran spoke, he summoned Shangniao Lingzi from the space and motioned her to clean up the dirty blood on the ground.

"It's a good thing there are no passengers in the carriage, otherwise it would affect your business."

"Haha, this is the return bus. You are lucky, otherwise I wouldn't dare to let you mess around."

The driver grinned, revealing a row of big yellow teeth.

Xiao Ran then picked up the four black bowls that he had extorted from the beggar.

E-level curse: [Lonely, widowed, disabled, poor, trainee]

Privilege 1: Bad Bowl

Ring the bad luck bowl to curse the target. Each bowl has a different curse effect.

Lonely Bowl: Reduces the target's strength by 10%
Gu Wan: Causes the target's mental state to decline by 10%
Broken Bowl: Causes the target's health to decline by 10%
Poor Bowl; makes the target's agility decline by 10%
Duration: 30 minutes
Privilege 2: Fading Star

If the target gathers all four curses at the same time, the star of bad luck will be activated, causing the target to be stared at by the star and his luck will enter a period of decline.

Duration: 24 hours.

Looking at the four big black bowls in his hand, Xiao Ran thought that these things were not very useful to him, but they could be used to control corpses after being activated, which could be regarded as adding some extra equipment to the corpses.

The beggar also left four dog-beating sticks. They were not cursed objects, but they were quite sturdy. Xiao Ran gave all the sticks to the driver.

After finishing these chores, Xiao Ran did not forget to give himself a ticket.

Although it was just a small move, the driver still noticed it. When he looked at Xiao Ran, there was even more satisfaction in his eyes. He grinned and nodded, "It seems that you are improving very quickly."

"Speaking of this, I have to thank you, big brother. If you hadn't helped me last time on campus, I might not be able to get out now."

Speaking of campus, Xiao Ran thanked the driver again.

If he hadn't given her a pair of glasses and asked her to find the dormitory manager, the dormitory manager wouldn't have assigned her a special dormitory where she could transform.

If Xiao Ran didn't have the ability to transform into a night ghost, it would have been difficult for him to leave the school alive.

Or the best ending is to be like Jiucai and the others, collecting campus badges, brushing materials, slowly completing side quests and then leaving the campus.

As for whether you will be able to catch the pumpkins before cleaning, it all depends on your luck.

"You're welcome, but I should be the one thanking you for this."

"Thank me?"

"Yes, the campus closure has something to do with you."

The driver asked while driving. Xiao Ran didn't say anything, but just nodded.

The driver pointed to the station on the carriage. Xiao Ran looked up and found that the original [Seventh Middle School] station had been closed.

“Could it be that after the campus was closed, this site no longer existed?”

Xiao Ran muttered to himself.

As if to confirm what Xiao Ran was thinking, the driver explained: "All the stations are designed according to the mystery city. When one of the mystery cities is closed, this station will be closed. When all the stations are closed, we can retire."

When the word "retirement" was mentioned, the driver's rough, bear-like face couldn't help but reveal an expression of hope and longing.

Xiao Ran nodded in sudden realization, then glanced around and saw that the [Hongxiang Village] station was still there. He pointed at it and asked the driver, "Brother, I just went to this station and it was on fire. Will this station still exist in the future?"

"on fire?"

The driver looked at Xiao Ran with a strange expression, then shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either. I have to wait for notification. If I receive a notification, this station will be cancelled and no one will be able to enter from now on."

Although the driver didn’t explain everything, the subliminal meaning was clear: the site was still there and the fire did not mean a happy ending.

This inevitably reminded Xiao Ran of what Mo Ju said to her last moment, that he could come to see her if he had time.

It was originally a joke, but now it seems that it is not impossible.

As the two were talking, tiny stars occasionally twinkled in the empty white fog outside the car window.

I heard the horn on the bus start to play a reminder to get off the bus [We have arrived at Guling Street, please move to the back door...]
