Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 188 Xiao Ran takes action, the Fang family takes the blame

Now not only the woman was dumbfounded, but even Xiao Ran was confused.

It is normal to give yourself acupuncture for jaundice, so why did you die? ?

Just as he was stunned, his eyes suddenly froze, and he saw the child's soul slowly floating up from the corpse, walking out of the hall in a daze.

As he walked, he kept muttering: "The immortal has arrived, Huang Xianfu, the immortal will take me to enjoy happiness..."

Seeing this, Xiao Ran turned around and glanced at the City God.

"You don't care about this, right?"

Although the City God is a god in the mortal world, he is different from the Kitchen God. The Kitchen God goes to heaven to report on his duties at the end of each year to the Jade Emperor.

Although the City God has more power than the Kitchen God, he does not report to the Heavenly Court, but to the underworld.

To put it bluntly, he is the spokesperson of the underworld in the world of the living.

Right under your nose, this soul is floating away, and you actually do nothing? ?

Besides, the child was clearly suffering from jaundice, and at best, epilepsy caused by malnutrition, which was not life-threatening at all. How could the child die after a self-injection? ?

If this City God was not his immediate superior, Xiao Ran would have suspected that the City God was playing a double game with this woman to blackmail him? ?
But no matter what, he had to bear the consequences for now. Xiao Ran's heart sank. Killing one person was nothing. He had just killed seven people last night, including the old beggar. Not to mention Xiao Ran, even Zhao Qingming and the others would not take it seriously.

But the problem is, she is a decent citizen. If I killed her child while treating her illness, that's another matter. I can't be so cruel as to kill the woman with a knife.

Although this is a solution, Xiao Ran can't do such a thing.

"you!!"

The woman was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Ran with a confused expression.

But Xiao Ran didn't wait for him to speak, and said: "Don't worry, this child can still be saved, but his soul has been taken away by some evil spirit. You wait here for me. At the latest, I will bring your child's soul back before dawn tomorrow!"

If this had happened in real life, the woman would have called the police long ago.

Are you kidding? I'll wait for you till tomorrow?

I'm afraid that you will have to leave the province tonight, and then go to Yunnan, Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. By dawn, you will probably be in Thailand and start making appointments for sex reassignment surgery.

But in this era, it is different. In fact, the woman is desperate. Jaundice is not a serious disease.

But I went to all the clinics and hospitals, but they couldn't cure me and my symptoms became more and more serious.

Seeing that the child was about to collapse, she had a confused dream just now. She dreamed that someone was calling her to go to the City God Temple quickly, hoping that someone could save her child.

Only then did he hurriedly carry the child to the City God Temple.

Hearing Xiao Ran's words at this time, although his eyes were doubtful, he still didn't dare to give up this life-saving straw.

He just stared at Xiao Ran: "Is there really hope?"

"Yes, my name is Xiao Zhenye, and my master is the second leatherworker here. Everyone in this area knows me. If I can't come back, you call the police to arrest me. I can't get far in one night."

Xiao Ran said this with certainty.

This is true. At that time, there were neither national highways nor expressways, and the only way to leave the province quickly was by train. However, it was not easy to get tickets or wait for the train.

The woman was confused and looked up at the City God. She thought that she was also guided by a dream. As the saying goes, if you believe it, it will work. If you don't believe it, why would you come here? She gritted her teeth and stared at Xiao Ran: "I believe in you and the City God. If you lie to me, it is the City God who lied to me. I will seek justice in the underworld."

"That's natural!"

Xiao Ran nodded solemnly and walked out without looking back.

Time was running out, and he was worried that the child's soul would run away, which would be troublesome.

After exiting the City God Temple, Xiao Ran looked around and saw from afar the child's soul wandering into the alley.

Xiao Ran followed behind slowly. The alley became narrower and narrower until it came to a crack in the wall. Not only adults, but even children couldn't get through.

But this could not pose a problem for Xiao Ran. He used his lightness skills to step on the wall and climb onto the roof.

After walking a short distance with the child, they came to a private house. The soul floated into the house and soon a burst of laughter was heard from inside. "Hey, you're finally here. I've been waiting for a long time."

Judging from the voice of the person speaking, he seems to be quite young.

Xiao Ran climbed over the wall and took a closer look, and saw a young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a cool short-sleeved shirt, a fake collar, and white shoes, holding a white-haired, blue-eyed fox in his arms.

Nowadays, anyone who can wear such clothes must be from an ordinary family.

Especially the fox, which made Xiao Ran feel very unusual.

Seeing that the boy was about to leave, Xiao Ran didn't care about anything else and jumped down from the wall with a quick step.

"Stop, whose child are you? How dare you capture people's souls here and mess up yin and yang? Let the souls out!!"

Xiao Ran's loud roar took the lead.

The young man was startled. When he came to his senses, he saw Xiao Ranren rushing in front of him and punching him on the head.

When Xiao Ran makes an enemy, he always strikes first. He doesn't care how old the kid is or who his family is. If he ruins his plans, he should be killed.

The young man was so flustered when he saw this that he didn't even have time to dodge and could only watch the fist coming down on him.

It was at this moment that the fox in his arms suddenly moved, opened its mouth, and spit out a gust of black wind towards Xiao Ran.

The black wind was not strong, but it was surprisingly cold, as if someone had hit him on the head with a hammer. Xiao Ran was startled and his attack was immediately slowed down. In that moment, the fox opened its mouth and jumped out of the boy's arms, rushing towards Xiao Ran's neck. "You're looking for death!"

However, Xiao Ran, who seemed drowsy, suddenly had cold light in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was not affected by the fox.

[Corpse Catcher]: Highly resistant to hypnosis, illusion, charm, and curse.

This fox might have some skills, but it was not a threat to Xiao Ran. He deliberately exposed a flaw just to see what tricks the fox had. Seeing that the fox's tricks were only this good, just as it pounced
[Guillotine] appeared in his hand out of thin air, and the blade drew a mark in the air like silver hair.

The next second, with a "Puff!" sound, the bright red fox blood splattered on the boy's white shirt.

When the boy came to his senses, he saw that his fox had been torn apart and fell to the ground. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide: "My Yu'er!!"

His eyes immediately turned red: "If you kill my Yu'er, I will fight you!!"

"Go to hell!"

Xiao Ran slapped the boy with his backhand, knocking him to the ground. The slap knocked out the boy's back teeth, and half of his face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. The boy's eyes were full of stars, and one of his eyes was stained blood red.

Xiao Ran put one foot on the boy's back and raised the big knife in his hand: "I will count to three. If you don't return your soul, I will chop off your head first!!!"

Xiao Ran's attack was so ruthless that the young man was frightened by his means and said quickly, "The child couldn't hold on any longer. I took his soul because I wanted him to be a spirit boy for my daughter Yu'er. When he has accumulated merits in the future, I will send him to a good place to be reborn."

"Stop talking nonsense, the child just has jaundice and malnutrition. If you hadn't interfered, he would have recovered long ago. I think you had bad intentions from the beginning, and you even gave the fox a spirit boy. You beast don't deserve it!"

The young man's face was red and swollen. Hearing this, he immediately argued, "Don't spit blood on me. I am a disciple of the Five Immortals Hall. If I dare to kill someone at will, my family will not tolerate it. But I saw that he had already died, so I waited for a few days. I calculated that today was the day he would die, so I brought his soul back to save him from the pain of physical illness. If I lied, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

The boy's oath made Xiao Ran hesitate for a moment. In this era, people say they believe in science, but in their hearts they still adhere to the principle that there is a god above their heads.

If it wasn't true, how could he dare to make such a cruel oath? Perhaps the other party really had good intentions.

But no matter whether it is sincere or not, Xiao Ran must bring the soul back today, otherwise the murder lawsuit will fall on his head.

Immediately his eyes sank: "One!"

Hearing Xiao Ran start to count down, the young man's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, Lingtong was taken away by Yu'er, and you killed Yu'er, how can I give it to you, please don't kill me..."

"two!!"

"Really, really, I didn't lie to you. If you let me go, Yu'er's true spirit will not dissipate. I can still summon her true spirit out and return the spirit boy to you..."

The young man was so anxious that beads of sweat rolled down his head.

"three!!"

"Dad!!"

"Whoosh!!" With the sound of breaking wind, the young man suddenly felt cold all over from head to toe. In horror, a hand grabbed his shoulder and lifted him up from the ground.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!!"

At this moment, the boy's eyes were blurred by tears and his legs were weak with fear.

"Hu San!!"

A loud and familiar voice suddenly alerted the young man. A big hand wiped away the tears on his face. He looked carefully and saw a man with a long and narrow face and a high nose bridge staring at him.

The young man was stunned, and immediately hugged the man's arm and burst into tears: "Second Uncle, someone killed me and Yu'er."

The man frowned when he heard this and pulled him up: "Stop crying, tell me what happened, where is Yu'er, where is her body?"

After hearing what his second uncle said, Hu San came to his senses. He looked around and found that Yu'er's body was gone.

When he looked again, he saw that several of his brothers had already rushed over. His frightened heart gradually calmed down and he quickly told them what had happened.

"Damn it! We just got out of quarantine and came all the way here, and someone is already bullying us!!"

After listening carefully to what happened, the man concluded that the attacker was not only a master but also a ruthless character. If he had not noticed the movement and rushed over immediately, he was afraid that the other party would have really dared to chop off Hu San's head.

"San'er, did you see clearly what move the other party used?"

"A knife, a five-ring broadsword. I see a lot of murderous aura on that knife. I'm afraid I don't know how many people it has killed."

Hu San thought carefully about what had just happened, and then said, "Oh, right, Second Uncle, you can't be involved in this matter. That kid... is only two years older than me. It's not good for you to be involved."

The man was startled when he heard this, and his brows furrowed for a moment. There are many people who use knives, but if it is a five-ring broadsword, he knows that a local family uses this broadsword.

But if what Hu San said was true, it would be difficult for me to go there. According to the rules of the martial arts world, if a younger generation loses a fight, it is because they are not as skilled as their opponents, so they should go home and practice.

After all, the other party did not kill anyone, so it was not the turn of the elders like them to take action.

I'm afraid it won't work if I go and find trouble myself.

"Dad, if he dares to hit San'er, I will destroy his family temple. We brothers will attack together. I don't believe he has any supernatural powers!!"

At this time, several of Hu San's cousins stood up, rubbing their hands, determined to seek justice for Hu San.

"Row!"

The man nodded, his face was very pleased, his children and grandchildren are united is the characteristic of the prosperity of the family, he immediately said:

"I think the people who did it are the local executioners from the Fang family. They have been keeping a low profile over the years. They were not even seen at the tea party. They said that the old man of the Fang family was going to retire. Humph, I think it's probably just a bluff. You guys go to the Fang family tonight and just beat up those young guys!!"
