Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 23 It’s her!

The high-rise commercial building in Los Angeles is opposite the department store.

On top of the building, there is a sign that says "Narrative Delivery Company"
As soon as you enter the building, you can see the conspicuous bright yellow logo.

It is obviously a courier company, but the luxury of its lobby is no less than those of internationally renowned hotels.

"Ding!!"

At this time, the elevator at the gate opened and several people walked out quickly.

However, surprisingly, the girl in the lead was Zhong Yi, whom Xiao Ran had met in the crematorium before.

Her pink hair is really eye-catching.

However, Zhong Yi's face did not look happy at all at this moment. Instead, it was full of gloom. As he walked, he said to the people around him: "That idiot from Liming Building, a beginner with a poor score, should be controlled immediately. Even if this woman has already passed the supervision period, she should not be allowed to run around!! "

The two people following Zhong Yi could only smile bitterly and nod their heads when they heard this.

In fact, they also knew that Liminglou could not be blamed for this incident.

The company has the means to monitor the area where the mystery city appears and can make arrangements in advance to prevent ordinary people from entering by mistake as much as possible.

If there are any newcomers who come out of it, they will be included in the company's supervision list.

During the three-month supervision period, the supervisor will be fully responsible for supervising them and scoring them.

In addition, the supervisor will also provide a certain degree of protection to the supervised members to prevent any perverted situations of torturing and killing newcomers.

If any beginners lose control during this period, the supervisor will kill them immediately.

The company will be fully responsible for the aftermath.

After all, such things are not uncommon. Some beginners who obtain spell patterns and cursed objects soon begin to feel that they have super powers and can do whatever they want. Ordinary pranks are fine, but serious murders, robberies, thefts, etc. are all possible.

As for the period beyond the supervision period, the company will no longer continue to supervise.

On the one hand, this kind of supervision is indeed offensive, but on the other hand, after about three months, beginners should have a more or less understanding of their own situation, and their emotions will have stabilized.

Of course, if you want to point out that there are some newcomers who do evil things after the supervision period.

But as long as the action is covert and not noticed by the company, there will basically be no problem.

There is nothing that can be done about it. There are only so many people in the company, and there are only four supervisors in the Central China region, and the special attack team has only twenty-four people. The methods of those beginners cannot be detected by ordinary people. The number of people is too small. Even if everyone spreads out and does not eat or drink for a day and does nothing, they cannot monitor so many beginners.

Therefore, unless it is a major case, it is difficult for the company to discover the tricks.

The woman that Zhong Yi mentioned was not from the Central China region, and she had deliberately concealed her identity. Even if the company wanted to find her, it might not be able to find her in a short time. Moreover, this was not originally their job, but now it was assigned to them. Zhong Yi was of course unhappy, and couldn't help cursing and greeting her along the way.

At the same time, on the other side, Xiao Ran had already returned home with the paper man.

"Crash la la la..."

I opened the shop door and walked in. The white cat poked its head out from the shelf. It looked at Xiao Ran, and when it saw that he had nothing in his hands, it turned its head away lazily.

Xiao Ran closed the door, walked to the backyard, found a corner, and according to the old man of the Zhou family's instructions, Xiao Ran cut a small cut on his finger with a knife and lightly touched the paper man's eyes.

As the blood stain spread in the paper man's eyes, Xiao Ran suddenly felt a special feeling in his body.

But he couldn't explain what this feeling was.

I took out a lighter and lit the paper figure. As the paper figure in front of me gradually turned into wisps of green smoke in the flames, this feeling became stronger, as if the smoke from the burning fire seemed to float into the darkness and had an inexplicable relationship with me.

Although it can only protect me for one year, for me, at least I don’t have to worry about such things for this year, so this favor is still worth it.

It’s just…what’s the relationship between grandpa and the Zhou family? I always feel like they are very familiar with each other, but also like they don’t get along well?
Go back to the store and open the rolling door.

"Meow!"

The white cat rescued by Xiao Ran in the corner looked up at Xiao Ran curiously.

After I rescued this white cat, I couldn't give it away for the time being, and its wounds hadn't healed yet, so I just kept it.

However, with his master-level suturing skills, it seems that it no longer affects his walking.

Xiao Ran took out the cat food he had bought on the way back and handed it over to the white cat, but the white cat just glanced at it and immediately turned its head away with a look of disgust.

"I think you are just not that hungry."

Xiao Ran curled her lips, but she didn't intend to spoil it. It could eat if it wanted, and if it didn't want to eat, it would be hungry.

"Hello! The express has arrived. Please come out and sign for it."

The courier outside the door shouted through the glass door and put a box at the door. He obviously didn't want to have any contact with Xiao Ran, for fear of being contaminated by bad luck.

Xiao Ran walked out and took the express delivery, which was a fishing rod that he ordered online.

Although I only gained the ability to fish from Guo Lingfei, it is always better than nothing.

I'm free too, so I can go fishing in the evening.

"Meow!!"

The white cat saw Xiao Ran unpacking a package, jumped onto the counter, looked at the fish bladder in the box curiously, and when he realized that the fish bladder was fake, he turned his head away with a look of disgust, lazily lying on the counter, licking his bare hind legs, too lazy to take another look. Xiao Ran had just assembled the fishing rod inside and put it into the space. Outside the store, there was a woman in a white coat, wearing sunglasses, long hair, and a strong smell of perfume.

"What to buy?" Xiao Ran asked.

"Paper money, not too much, the kind that's worth hundreds of billions."

The woman took off her sunglasses and said, "In addition to paper money, I want to buy some paper buildings. Villas are best."

"Okay, this is a new model, with furniture, home appliances, a bathtub, and a computer. It's a bit expensive, but you can get a pair of paper figurines as a gift."

Xiao Ran pointed to the paper villa placed nearby and introduced it.

"Tell me, down there, do these things really work?"

The woman bent down, looked at the exquisitely crafted building in front of her, and asked curiously.

"Sincerity is the key to success. Things are just a form of expression and appreciation from us living people to the deceased. If the intention is there, the things will come naturally. Whether you can really get a villa is actually not important." Xiao Ran said seriously.

"Thoughts..."

The woman nodded and praised, "Boss, what you said is very good. I went to the funeral shop on the next street and encountered the same problem. They said that whatever you burn above, the people below will receive. The more you burn, the more people below will receive. I wish I could buy their shop."

When the woman said this, Xiao Ran knew who it was. The bald boss's personality was such that it was indeed his style to say this, but Xiao Ran did not mean to flatter her. He just said, "People have different understandings. Maybe this is also his wish."

"You really know how to talk. If we do as they say, it would be better to just burn the shop down. That way, wouldn't their family live more comfortably down there?" The woman smiled.

Xiao Ran didn't know how to respond to this for a moment and could only smile politely.

"By the way, I saw the note on your door just now. It said some grooming. Does that also include sewing up the body?"

The woman pointed to the piece of paper taped outside the door.

"Yes, if necessary, we can also accept such orders, but the price depends on the extent of the damage to the body."

"Oh!" The woman nodded thoughtfully, but did not ask any more questions. Instead, she looked at the set of paper figurines in front of her and said, "This is it, plus the paper money, how much is it in total?"

"140 for paper figurines, 26 for ghost money, don't count the change, just give 160."

"Okay, but I can't carry these things. Can you deliver them directly to the place?"

The woman pointed at the paper figurines and Xiao Ran's promise to deliver them.

These things are neither big nor small, but I have never seen anyone carrying them on the street.

"Sure, is it close? Delivery in the city is 20, and in the suburbs it starts at 50."

"It's very close, just up there in the Panlong Cemetery. Please help me send it there to be burned."

"Oh, if you're burning it for me, please write down the owner's name and contact information. I'll send you the video later."

Xiao Ran handed the paper and pen on the table to the woman. The woman picked up the paper and pen, wrote down her name, took out two hundred yuan from her wallet and put it on the table. "No need to change, just help me get this done, I will come to you in two days. By the way, my name is Huang Qi, what should I call you?"

"Xiao Ran."

"Okay, Boss Xiao, thank you for your help."

After a few polite words, the woman put on her sunglasses and walked out of the store.

"Meow!!"

Xiao Ran heard a sharp cat's cry. He looked back and found that the white cat had hidden in a box on the shelf at some point. At this moment, it stuck its head out and growled in the direction the woman left.

"Don't shout. I'm going out later and will bring you some food when I come back."

Xiao Ran didn't care and picked up the name written by the woman. He glanced at it and was stunned. There were only three words written on it: Guo Lingfei.

"is her!!"

Xiao Ran was startled and immediately ran out of the door, but when he looked around, he did not see the woman.

There was something strange about Guo Lingfei's death, but he didn't want to get involved. It was just that this woman suddenly came to his house. Was it a coincidence, or...

"Xiao Ran!"

At this time, someone called Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran turned around and saw that it was their neighbor who lived in the building next to their house, an old man named Wang.

Uncle Wang was holding a bucket in one hand and a fishing rod in the other. He walked up to Xiao Ran and said, "I heard you have a cat. I just caught a few fish. Take them back for your cat to eat."

"This……"

Xiao Ran wanted to refuse, but Uncle Wang had already put the bucket on the ground, looked up at Xiao Ran's shop, and then said, "Your family should be careful."

"Pay attention to what?"

"Be careful of fire. The fire department will probably come to check soon. You don't know yet? The funeral shop across the street caught fire. A family of six was burned to death."

Uncle Wang shook his head and said with lingering fear: "The whole room was filled with paper. The fire could not be put out. It was pitiful. Four adults and two children were all burned to ashes. Now, all the coffins in the shop have to be enjoyed by themselves..."
