Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 152 Ghost Error
"Buzz! I'm back."

Xiao Ran pushed open the door and walked into the yard. As it had been tidied last time, there were no major changes in the yard after he came back this time, except for a few more weeds by the wall.

After entering the house, Xiao Ran burned incense in front of his parents' spirit tablets as usual.

Take out the offerings and place them in order.

Then he walked out of the room and came to his grandfather's old room.

In the room, I saw the big boxes that I had not taken away last time were neatly arranged.

The things in here are all treasures left over from when my grandfather was a shoemaker. I didn’t take them away last time because I thought I would have no place to put them after taking them back.

It's easy now.

When I return to Bone Spirit Street, I will place these things in the basement and take good care of them. After I advance to [Corpse Collector], I will hang a sign at the door with the sign of a hospital. I will suture people's wounds during normal times, and sew up corpses at night after closing the door.

Not only can I generate income, but I can also improve my skills. The more I think about it, the more hopeful I feel about this future.

"Bang bang bang!"

I was packing my things when there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment and opened the door.

Then, a middle-aged man was seen standing in the shadow in front of the door. He was wearing a round-brimmed hat, a black short-sleeved shirt, a black umbrella in his hand, and sunglasses on his face. He looked to be about fifty years old. After seeing Xiao Ran, the man hooked down the sunglasses on his face with his fingers and looked Xiao Ran up and down.

Just a glance up and down made Xiao Ran feel indescribably uncomfortable. He took a step back alertly, with one hand behind his back, ready to strike at any time.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Xiao Guli's home?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran looked at the other person suspiciously.

"Who are you and what do you want from my grandfather?"

The man took out a letter from his sleeve: "It's like this, I have a letter from Mr. Xiao Guli here, I need to give it to him in person, you..."

"Boom!!"

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Ran closed the door.

He frowned, "What on earth are you looking for my grandfather by name? To deliver a letter? To fool a ghost? My grandfather doesn't have many friends. Even if he did, they're almost burnt to ashes. How can you send him a letter?"

Xiao Ran took out the black machete from the space and held it in his hand, then turned around and squinted his eyes to look outside the door.

As a result, the other party had disappeared. When Xiao Ran opened the door, there was no one outside the room.

"What about people?"

Xiao Ran looked around again and indeed did not see the other person, but he did not dare to be careless.

When I thought about it carefully, I realized that I had no impression of what that person looked like.

All I remember is that the other person was dressed in black and holding a black umbrella.

You know, the professional specialty of [Trainee] is to have a photographic memory. As long as they glance at something, they will have a deep impression in their mind. But Xiao Ran couldn't remember the other person's current appearance at all.

The more Xiao Ran thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He glanced at the black swan brooch on his chest. The brooch did not give any alarm, but the other person's gaze seemed to be able to see through him. It was as if he had no privacy at all in front of the other person.

"go!"

Unable to figure out the other party's origins, Xiao Ran did not dare to stay any longer and planned to go back as soon as possible. If necessary, he would go and hide with Wu Man.

When we reached the entrance of the village, we saw a group of people blocking the door of a house, and there were sounds of sorrowful crying from inside.

Xiao Ran was about to leave, but was stopped by the arm by an old lady who she didn't know whether to call her "Auntie" or something else.

"Xiao Ran, you've come just in time, come and see if this person is possessed by evil spirits."

Xiao Ran: ...

I've never heard of asking people who do funeral ceremonies to do the work of Taoist priests?

But the villagers didn't care about that. They thought Xiao Ran was more reliable than those Taoist priests. The main reason was that this kid had been evil since he was a child. Maybe it would be better to just give him a look.

When Xiao Ran walked in, he saw the old lady sitting on the ground, crying very sadly.

"what happened?"

"I don't know. She just said her son sent her a message."

"Her son has been dead for six or seven years. She must have fallen and got a head injury."

Everyone was talking about this at once, and Xiao Ran's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He turned around and looked around, but he didn't see the man.

Seeing the old lady sitting on the ground crying sadly, everyone was worried that she would get sick from crying again.

The most taboo thing for older people is extreme sorrow or joy.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran walked forward and pretended to take out a silver needle from his arms. Before everyone could see clearly, he pierced the old lady's shoulder and then gently turned the silver needle with his fingers.

In Hongxiang Village, the set of "Twenty-Eight Acupuncture Methods" obtained from the old man in Dai Yi's group is specially used to treat blood stasis and injuries. (From Chapter 122.)
I didn't expect it would come in handy so soon in real life.

After a few injections, the lump on the back of the old lady's head disappeared, and soon the old lady's mood calmed down.

"Let the old lady go back and rest for a while. It's just a fall and injury, it's not a big deal."

When everyone saw that Xiao Ran actually had such a method, they couldn't help but whisper to each other again.

Some people came forward and pulled Xiao Ran to give them a few injections.

If it were any other time, when Xiao Ran had nothing to do, he would be happy to experiment on them.

But now Xiao Ran's heart was beating fast: "Could it be that the man in black really came to deliver a letter, and came from down there?"

"Could it be a ghost messenger from the underworld?"

The more Xiao Ran thought about it, the more he believed this was possible. After all, his grandfather had already passed away, but he was still hiding at home, being supported by him and watching TV in the house every day.

After all, grandpa is different from those wandering ghosts.

Those wandering ghosts stayed here because of their own obsession.

I don’t know where my grandfather came up with the idea to force myself to stay in the world of the living.

To put it bluntly, this is disrupting yin and yang.

What if the other party is here to arrest Grandpa? ?

Thinking of this, he tried to excuse himself by saying that the needle had been used before and had not been disinfected. In the face of everyone's kindness, he shouted, "Next time, definitely next time." Then he quickly left everyone behind and ran straight to the village entrance.

As soon as he walked out of the village, Xiao Ran didn't even bother to wait for the bus. He stopped a passing three-wheeled motorcycle. After the motorcycle took him into the city, he immediately scanned a shared bicycle and started to wander around the city.

Finally, after making sure that the other party did not follow him, he dared to go home.

"Crash la la la..."

As the rolling door opened a crack, Xiao Ran looked around and quickly closed it like a thief.

After a while, the rolling door was opened again, and Xiao Ran walked out. After pasting a door god on the outside, he really closed the door and went into the house this time.

After returning home, Xiao Ran changed his clothes and walked to the backyard.

Only when he reached the door of the back room did he adjust his breathing and calm himself down. Listening to the sound of the TV in the room, Xiao Ran walked to the door: "Grandpa, I'm coming in."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran carefully pushed open the door, but when he looked up, his pupils suddenly tightened.

I saw a middle-aged man in black clothes, black pants and sunglasses sitting on a paper chair in front of me. The man raised his head and saw Xiao Ran's surprised eyes. He turned his head with a smile and said to the old man in front of the TV:
"Your grandson is so rude. He closed the door so suddenly that I almost got hit by the door god..."

　There is one more update tonight. I will try my best.
