Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 238 Dream Weaving Pond (The third update. Don’t keep it up! This mystery city is finished.)
Seeing Xiao Ran, whose face was bulging with veins due to pain, Grandma Qi's face was unusually melancholy. She carefully examined Xiao Ran's face:
"Xiao Zhenye, this old man, I haven't seen him for a long, long time. I never thought I would see him again in this way."

"Do you know my grandfather?"

"Grandpa?" Grandma Qi was stunned for a moment, half-closed her eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly realized: "Oh, so you are his grandson. This old guy actually has a grandson. Is he still alive?"

Xiao Ran looked at Grandma Qi in surprise: "Who are you?"

Grandma Qi smiled slyly: "According to the role you are playing now, I should call you Fourth Brother."

When Xiao Ran heard this, three people suddenly flashed through his mind: Sun Miao, Yang Fengchui, and Xie Yutang.

His eyes flickered with fear as he looked at Grandma Qi in front of him for a moment, then he said in disbelief, "Are you Sun Miao?"

"Ah..." Grandma Qi sighed, raised her head with a kind look in her eyes, and said in a tone as if she was coaxing her grandson, "Go to the underworld and ask your grandfather."

Grandma Qi didn't want to explain any more to Xiao Ran, and she had no interest in explaining the whole thing to him.

The other hand turned into a crocodile, opened its bloody mouth and bit Xiao Ran's head.

Looking at the big mouth biting down on him, Xiao Ran wanted to make one last struggle in his heart, but it was too late.

All means and strategies are completely useless in the face of absolute strength.

Until everything went dark before my eyes, I heard a crisp sound like an egg breaking its shell.

next second.

"puff!!!"

Everyone's eyes widened, blood splattered in the air. Xiao Ran looked in horror at Grandma Qi whose chest exploded in front of him, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

A ray of golden light extended from Xiao Ran's forehead, making the space around Xiao Ran seem to be frozen at this moment, and at the same time, it mercilessly pierced into the heart of the leader.

"It's that egg!!"

Xiao Ran's pupils twitched as he looked at the figure that was gradually emerging from his forehead. It was none other than the bastard whom he had wanted to strangle to death before, Li Yijing.

"Li Surprise!!"

Grandma Qi showed a look of horror on her face, but now she could do nothing except regain consciousness.

He could only watch as Li Qijing's palm pierced through his heart, his pupils twitching violently.

"You are just like your grandfather, cunning, forbearing, and you won't reveal your purpose until the very last moment, even if you die. It was your grandfather who tipped off the Five Immortals Hall and caused the deaths of so many people. But now you choose to play the role of the Seventh Grandmother of the Xie Family instead of your grandfather. It's really surprising."

Li Qijing's figure became clearer and clearer in the golden light.

He stared at the leader in front of him and said, "We have been preparing for this game for a long time. You are too cautious. If it weren't for this bait, I wouldn't have waited for you to take the bait!"

As Li Qijing said this, the space began to darken. Everyone's body and appearance began to change, gradually returning to their original appearance when they entered this mysterious city.

I saw that Grandma Qi's face began to dissolve like wax, revealing a face full of vicissitudes.

Although his face is full of wrinkles, it is still not difficult to see what the old man looked like when he was young, and his face shape is exactly the same as Sun Miao's.

Sun Miao widened his eyes and wanted to say something with trembling lips, but he was suppressed by Li Jingqi's power and could not speak.

Everything changed so quickly that Xiao Ran's mind was in a mess.

"The egg in my mind is Li Jingqi, or rather, Li Jingqi's soul. No wonder I was not affected by the mystery in my womb!!"

"But if Li Jingqi has always been hiding in me, then who was the previous Li Jingqi?"

Suddenly, Xiao Ran's mind was tangled with thousands of thoughts, and he couldn't find any reasonable speculation for a while.

But he was sure of one thing, the mountain god in the mountain temple must know the inside story.

What the hell is this destined person?

Anything about helping to deliver a message to the City God is all fake.

This situation was designed for this moment from the very beginning.

"No wonder, no wonder Li Jingqi came to me and taught me boxing so enthusiastically? No wonder Li Jingqi would cling to me and even put the bracelet on my hand."

Almost all the stories in this mysterious city develop in the direction pushed by Li Jingqi.

It is like a top chess player who, when placing the first chess piece, has already arranged the outcome of the entire chessboard clearly in his mind.

Just as this guy said, he is just a slightly stronger ant, and is more suitable to be a chess piece than ordinary ants.

Although I feel unhappy, I have to admit it.

In front of Li Jingqi and Hui Shou, two powerful and cunning guys, he could only be used as a pawn.

And now, his chess piece has obviously entered the center palace.

Completed the final step to kill the opponent.

"General!!"

As Li Jingqi's eyes flashed, the next moment he suddenly pulled his hand out of the leader's chest, and Sun Miao's soul was also pulled out together, and was pinched in Li Jingqi's hand and squeezed into a ball.

"The meeting begins!!"

Zi Shu and others looked at this scene in horror and wanted to rush forward to help.

But before they could take any action, the void around them suddenly exploded, and cold and ferocious lake water gushed out from nothingness, drowning them one after another in the icy river water.

"Pfft..."

Sun Miao's body fell heavily to the ground.

Only at this time did Li Jingqi's figure completely separate from Xiao Ran.

The surrounding area was already crumbling and the earth was breaking apart.

Xiao Ran looked at Li Jingqi in front of him, and suddenly found that he could speak. He frowned, pointed at Sun Miao's body on the ground and asked, "Can I take this body away?"

Li Qijing thought Xiao Ran would ask him something, but he didn't expect that the first thing Xiao Ran said was that he wanted the body.

Li nodded in surprise, and Xiao Ran happily put the corpse into the space.

Xiao Ran knew very well how much value was hidden in the bodies of the four leaders of the Changchun Society. Even if it was just his memories, it was valuable information to him.

After receiving the body, Xiao Ran looked up at Li Weiqi and said, "Senior, can you give me some reward?"

Since you are using me as a pawn, you should at least give me some substantial benefits.

Li Jingqi frowned: "I gave you the bracelet, is it not enough?"

"The bracelet was given to me by Li Jingqi, but he has been taken away by my master. It seems that he has nothing to do with you, senior?"

The reason why Xiao Ran said this was that he wanted to get information about this mysterious city from Li Jingqi.

Until now, he still couldn't tell what was true and what was false in this experience.

Li Jingqi is a very capable person, how could he not see Xiao Ran's little thoughts.

He did not answer Xiao Ran's words, but said meaningfully: "When the truth is false, the false is true; when the false is true, the true is false; the true is true and the false is false; the false is false and the true is true. Sometimes I can't tell the truth from the false in this mystery city. It's nothing more than sincerity!"

"Tsk, if you were to write an online novel, you would definitely be a complete jerk!"

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes inwardly when he heard this, but he still put on an expression that said, "I understand what you said."

Then he rolled his eyes and said, "But what does this have to do with the bracelet on my hand? Didn't you still not give me any benefit?"

Now it was Li Jingqi's turn to be unhappy. It turned out that he had gone through so much trouble, but this guy was not fooled.

He rolled his eyes; "I've already given you the good stuff a long time ago, and I don't have anything else to give you right now."

"What? You're planning to get it for free???"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qijing raised his hand and slapped Xiao Ran on the forehead, obviously irritated by Xiao Ran's words "freeloading".

The slap made Xiao Ran see stars, and he felt as if there was something extra in his head. Then his hands sank and he was swept away by a huge force.

With a sound of “Bang!!”

A chill came over Xiao Ran, causing him to shiver uncontrollably all over.

Then open your eyes.

The surrounding area was filled with murky river water, and his body was soaked in the cold, deep water.

He looked up and found that many people, like him, were swimming desperately upstream.

But there were also many people's bodies gradually sinking until they reached the bottom of the water and disappeared from Xiao Ran's sight.

Xiao Ran noticed that there was an extra object in his hand.

It is very thin, but not light in weight. At first glance, it looks like a transparent piece of clothing.

[Ding, have you discovered whether the C-level cursed item [Spiritual Clothes] is activated. ]

"No!"

Put this thing away and try it slowly again when you find a place.

Turning his eyes, Xiao Ran noticed that there was a tiger's corpse floating nearby.

Originally, he had placed the tiger outside. According to his original plan, it was to help cover him after he broke out. However, he never expected that plans could not keep up with changes.

Fortunately, the tiger's body was still there and it suffered no serious damage.

After taking back the tiger, Xiao Ran didn't dare to delay, because at this moment he found that the people from Changchun Society had already swam ashore.

If I don't swim up quickly and find a way to blend into the crowd before Taurus and the others react, I will be in trouble.

"Wow..."

As soon as Xiao Ran emerged from the water, he looked around and walked into the crowd while no one was paying attention.

Many people are confused at this moment.

Someone was sitting on the shore and suddenly couldn't help but burst into tears.

Someone shook his head, looking confused.

Some people were so desperate that they actually wanted to jump into the water, shouting that they wanted to go back to their wives.

Everyone seemed to be in a long dream.

The dream was so real and so clear.

Xiao Ran looked around and noticed several people gathered in a circle, as if looking at something, so he walked forward to take a look.

It's a stone tablet.

【Dreamweaver Pond】

[It can be activated once a year. After each activation, a dream will be woven according to the activator. After passing this dream, you will be qualified to enter the next stop of the mystery city in advance. ]

Looking at the information above, everyone suddenly realized.

"Damn it, we've been fooled. We've all been fooled. We've spent so much effort, but it turned out to be a dream."

Everyone's expressions flickered.

Xiao Ran thought of what Li Jingqi said to the leader: "This game has just begun."

It reminds me of the black chrysanthemums in Hongxiang Village.

Xiao Ran couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "This time Changchun will suffer a great loss."

Xiao Ran didn't want to stay here any longer. Although he didn't get any settlement rewards from this trip, he benefited a lot from it.

Advanced [Horizontal Refining], extraordinary swordsmanship, eight treasures, boxing, the corpse of the leader, C-level cursed item [Spirit Clothes]

Xiao Ran hasn't carefully checked what Li Jingqi left in his head.

If we stay here now, there might be trouble. It is better to escape as soon as possible...
