Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 158: Guillotine
"It is indeed a cursed object!"

Just as he expected, this guillotine, as an executioner's weapon that has been passed down for so many years, could not be an ordinary item.

But Xiao Ran didn't activate it.

After all, Uncle Fang and Aunt Yang are watching from behind. If something strange happens on the knife after it is activated, it will be difficult to explain if they see it.

Before leaving, Uncle Fang found a box for Xiao Ran, fearing that he would be caught by the police on the way and the knife would be confiscated, which would be troublesome.

Of course, Uncle Fang's good intentions and concerns are destined to be in vain.

Xiao Ran rode his bike to the corner and threw both the box and the knife into the space.

It was not until he returned home that Xiao Ran took out the guillotine again.

He wiped the blade with his fingers and then grasped the handle: "Activate!"

As the curse pattern emerged from under the flesh, a layer of strange blue light emerged on the originally inconspicuous blade.

E-level cursed item [Guillotine·Corpsewer]

This item has a strong spirituality and is somewhat dangerous. If you want to truly unlock the special effects of this item, please try to activate it with the Executioner Mantra!!

Privilege 1: Soul Punishment

When you use this weapon to kill an enemy, you can activate the privilege. After destroying the soul, the holder can gain the power of the soul and quickly recover the damage he has suffered.

(Note: The damage to ghosts is increased by 30%)

Privilege 2: Corporal Punishment

Due to the special nature of the weapon, the damage to flesh and blood is increased by 15%. For each additional disabling wound, the damage to flesh and blood is increased by 5%.
(Note: The upper limit of flesh damage is 30%.)
When you sew up the damage caused by this weapon, Privilege 2 is activated, and you gain additional enhancements to your sew-up skill!
Looking at the attribute entries that appeared in front of him, Xiao Ran was surprised.

It was not just because the guillotine was very lethal, but more importantly, this was the first time he had seen the nature of the cursed object forcibly change the professional orientation of the curse pattern.

You know, I seldom used the Corpse Stitcher before, because the Corpse Stitcher's spell profession was too powerful.

He once suspected that even if the cursed object was a toilet, after being activated by the corpse-stitcher, the corpse would have to sit on it and poop before it could be sewn up.

But this knife is different.

It is obvious that this time the curse is compromising the performance of the knife.

This is a very rare thing.

It also indirectly shows how fierce this knife is.

Xiao Ran then changed trainees to activate and regained the other two privileges.

Privilege 1: Blood Punishment

When you use a weapon to cause damage to a target, a blood mark will be left on the target. Once the blood mark accumulates to 10 layers, you can activate the privileged blood punishment, causing the enemy to fall into a stiff state for 3 seconds when you attack next time.

"Note: Blood marks can accumulate continuously. The higher the number of accumulated layers, the longer the stiffness time will be. The maximum number can reach 30 layers. However, for each additional layer of blood marks, you will bear the burden of one layer.)
Privilege 2: Executioner
The person holding this weapon will gain the talent of an executor and be immune to mental control of level E or below.

Trainee is indeed a jack-of-all-trades profession. Although the grade is a bit lower, without the influence of strong professional bias, the brutal side of this guillotine can be brought into play even more outstandingly.

Xiao Ran touched the big knife happily, and then tried to practice with it in the yard.

All I could hear was the copper ring on the blade making a sound, and as the blade stirred up a gust of cold wind, the sound was like a tiger's roar.

Xiao Ran took out the black machete again, holding it in reverse hand, and using the Yiju School's close-range quick knife. The combination of the two, one attacking and the other defending, was just right.

The white cat on the treetop had been lying there at some point, curiously looking at Xiao Ran waving a knife below, then turned its head to the side in boredom, curled up into a ball and continued to sleep soundly.

Xiao Ran waved two knives until noon. When Wu Man brought him lunch, he washed his face, put away the knives, changed into a new set of clothes, and happily opened the door and waited.

The white cat is already guarding the door.

After a while, when he saw the white cat jump onto the container and then change into a lazy look, Xiao Ran knew that Wu Man had arrived.

"I'll make something special for you today."

Wu Man came in carrying a lunch box. When he opened the box, he found neatly arranged pieces of braised pork inside. Each piece was square in shape, with sticky sauce like brown sugar hanging on it, emitting bursts of meaty aroma.

Afterwards, Wu Man took out today's special cat food and placed it in front of the white cat.

It's grilled fish balls.

"It's just braised pork, you make it sound so magical."

Xiao Ran picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. But after taking a bite, Xiao Ran's expression became strange. The taste was good, but the texture...

Xiao Ran tasted another piece, and only looked up at Wu Man after he finished the second piece: "Winter melon?"

"Yes, I'll make you some vegetarian dishes today. This is braised winter melon, and below are tofu fish, vegetarian duck, and sweet and sour pork ribs. They're all vegetarian."

To be honest, Wu Man’s cooking skills are indeed varied, and every bite will have a flavor that will make your eyes light up.

But the more this happened, the more Xiao Ran became wary of Wu Man.

With such skills, he could be the chef of a star-rated restaurant in the city, but he ran to this hellhole in the suburbs to open a shabby shop, saying that he wanted to be quiet. This statement sounds fake. If you want to be quiet, go traveling. It’s more quiet in the mountains. Isn’t it good to be in the uninhabited area of ​​Shiwan Mountain? ?

If you want to have fun, you can go to Thailand or the Netherlands. At the very least, it would be nice to go to Qin City next door and dance in the dark.

He comes to my place every day to be my personal chef. Is he a masochist?
Xiao Ran complained in his heart, but it did not affect the happiness on his face. After all, no one can resist delicious food.

"Are you busy this afternoon? Do you want to come and taste my newly developed lychee beef brisket?"

"Is it okay now?" Xiao Ran looked up. "I received an order this afternoon and need to go to a funeral home."

Wu Man shook his head helplessly: "Then let's wait until tomorrow. To taste delicious food, you need to be free of distractions and relax your mind. If you have other things in your mind, you won't be able to taste the original flavor of the food."

"Tsk, paranoid!"

The two bickered for a while, and Xiao Ran calculated the time and hurriedly sent the guests away and closed the door. He symbolically put on his backpack, rode a shared bicycle and rushed to the funeral home.

When we arrived at the place, we found that many people were standing outside the funeral home waiting.

There are both men and women, mostly young people.

Uncle Li squatted on the ground smoking a cigarette. Seeing Xiao Ran coming, he hurriedly walked forward with a smile: "These are all Dr. Du's classmates. I heard that the body can be repaired today, so they want to see Dr. Du."

After saying that, Uncle Li lowered his voice and said, "The flying fish this time is a bit damaged. Is one afternoon enough?"

"No problem. It will only take two hours at most. Uncle Li, let them have a good rest first."

Faced with Xiao Ran's assurance, Uncle Li breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head, looking refreshed and confident.

"Are you the Remains Master?"

A girl looked at Xiao Ran and saw that he was about the same age as her. She couldn't help but step forward and question Uncle Li: "Are you sure he really has that skill? Don't fool us casually when the time comes. We are all studying medicine."

"No, no, no, how could that be? He is really a famous body restorer in the area. If it weren't for my face, you wouldn't be able to hire him even if you gave him 100,000 yuan."

When Xiao Ran heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Only a fool would not come."

Seeing Uncle Li's discount guarantee, the girl had nothing to say and could only glare at Xiao Ran: "Then you'd better do it seriously, and we want to watch."

Hearing the word "onlooker", Xiao Ran frowned immediately.

"I know this is not good, but we are all medical school graduates. We have seen everything. Even if we have to sew up a corpse, it won't affect us."

Xiao Ran curled his lips when he heard this: "Aren't you afraid of affecting me? Since you know it's the rules, just follow them honestly."

After saying that, Xiao Ran ignored them and strode into the morgue. Uncle Li quickly closed the door.

"Humph, I don't think this guy has any real skills. He's probably just trying to make a living."

Looking at the closed door, the girl couldn't help but stamp her feet and said.

"Be content, you all know the situation of Lao Du's family."

Another boy said.

After hearing what the boy said, everyone shut up, except for the girl who couldn't help but mutter, "Cheap goods are not good."

Not to mention the idle people outside the door, Xiao Ran came to the mortuary and closed the door.

I took a look at the name on the body bag: Du Ling.

Then he slowly opened the body bag and looked at the unrecognizable corpse in front of him. Xiao Ran's eyes flashed and he carefully examined every torn wound on the corpse. He gradually became uncontrollably excited.

Wearing white rubber gloves, Xiao Ran reached out to close the cracked jaw of the corpse in front of him, and patted Du Ling's face: "If you don't have any other requirements, let's get started."

On the stretcher, Du Ling's only remaining eye trembled a few times, and he looked at Xiao Ran woodenly: "Can I listen to music?"

"Of course, what do you want to hear?" Xiao Ran took out his cell phone from his pocket.

Du Ling tried to blink his eyes, but found that his eyelids could not move at all. He looked weakly at the ceiling in front of him.

"Bohemian Rhapsody, okay? To be honest, I'm... a little regretful now."

"Sorry, the network is not good and I can't find it."

Xiao Ran tried to search on his phone, but soon noticed that the network was poor. "Do you mind if I change a similar song for you?"

Du Ling shook his head: "Sure enough, even after death there are so many unsatisfactory things, whatever."

"Ok!"

Xiao Ran pressed the play button, put the phone aside, and picked up the saw on the pallet.

As the melody of [Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven] sounded, Du Ling on the stretcher immediately turned his eyes to Xiao Ran and couldn't help but complain.

"Fuck, you call this something like..."

　There will be two more updates tonight.
