Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 265 Take precautions before they happen
"Red-faced grandpa?"

Xiao Ran and Lu Cheng looked at each other, and they immediately realized that the red-faced grandfather that Qiu Kui mentioned should be referring to the Guandi tattoo on Lu Cheng's back.

"Don't be afraid, this grandfather is very kind and won't hurt children." Lu Cheng explained with a smile.

Xiao Ran also comforted him: "Yes, this is Brother Lu, and the old man behind him will not harm anyone."

Faced with the two people's comfort, Qiu Kui carefully looked behind Lu Cheng, and after a moment dared to walk out from behind Xiao Ran's thighs. She just glanced at Lu Cheng timidly, and quickly ran out holding the white cat on the table.

"Brother Lu, let's rest here today. I need to finish the things I have on hand. If there is no problem, we will set off early tomorrow morning."

Xiao Ran has two things on hand, the first one is the upgrade of [Evil-Suppressing Order].

I just lack a D-level corpse. But I can sew up the other corpses first, and then upgrade Senbei and the others to improve their strength.

Another thing is the body of Beast Master.

A C-level corpse is extremely important to Xiao Ran. Whether it is used as a puppet or to obtain the abilities of Dao Beast Master, it is completely beneficial to Xiao Ran.

It can also greatly enhance your combat effectiveness.

Fortunately, these two things happened together, so one night was long enough.

"it is good!"

Lu Cheng was anxious, but he also knew that haste would not get you anywhere near the hot tofu, and he knew that he had to proceed more steadily at this moment.

After the two walked out of the room, Liu Rui also came down. Xiao Ran introduced each other to each other, and then Xiao Ran smelled the smell of cooking.

"Is Wu Man back?"

"Well, I just came back last night, and as soon as I got back I went straight into the kitchen to get busy."

Liu Rui nodded: "I hope the chef is a rare profession. We will have it in the future."

"Ah."

Xiao Ran agreed with this deeply.

Take Lu Cheng downstairs.

When Wu Man saw Xiao Ran coming back, he just looked at the boy meaningfully, but then he noticed Lu Cheng behind Xiao Ran.

When Wu Man saw Lu Cheng, he was a little surprised.

"You have also become an initiate?"

This was not the first time the two met. Before, Wu Man went with Xiao Ran to find Lu Cheng.

So they are all old acquaintances.

"No, Xiaoran brought me here to have a look."

Lu Cheng was too embarrassed to explain his purpose and could only give a vague answer.

How could such a small excuse be hidden from Wu Man? Seeing that Lu Cheng was unwilling to say anything, Wu Man stopped asking and smiled: "You came at the right time. Wait a little longer, I will make you a big meal."

Obviously, compared with Lu Cheng's affairs, Wu Man cared more about his own work.

"That's great. We're all hungry." Xiao Ran certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity. He took out all the small things he had purchased.

I gave Sister Liu some small decorations. Although they are simple things, they add a bit of life to the monotonous colors in the room.

The one given to Okra was an exquisite set of board games, Monopoly.

The things are simple, but you can tell that Xiao Ran really put a lot of effort into them.

"Tenant Liu Rui's impression of you +10!"

"Bone Spirit Qiu Kui's impression of you +20!"

Looking at the pop-up prompt, Xiao Ran knew that the two of them were quite fond of the things he had given them.

By the way, I took out all the furniture that I didn’t bring back last time and rearranged it to make the empty house more fulfilling.

"It's time to eat!"

Wu Man's voice in the restaurant was particularly excited today. When everyone arrived at the restaurant, they saw that Wu Man had already prepared a table of food, and the highlight was the casserole that Wu Man had carefully prepared.

Before the casserole was opened, everyone smelled a unique fragrance.

This time even the white cat ran over, jumped onto the table next to it, and looked at the casserole with curious eyes.

Wu Man took in everyone's gazes, and the smile on his face became brighter.

When I opened the casserole, I saw the soup was still bubbling, and the rich aroma instantly spread, like the fragrance of a spring garden or the harvest of an autumn orchard. The soup was golden and translucent, and oily but not greasy.

Stir gently, then scoop up a spoonful, and the various ingredients are reflected in the crystal clear soup.

"Everyone, this dish is called Dale Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

Wu Man introduced the name of this dish to everyone. Although it is obviously Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, it is unknown why it is called Dale Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Each person gets a bowl, including the white cat.

Xiao Ran held the bowl and chopsticks, looking at the ingredients inside. He could only see that there were fish maw and abalone, but he couldn't see more. After all, he was not good at cooking.

Everyone couldn't wait to taste it.

As the golden soup enters your mouth, you will smell a rich aroma, followed by the perfect combination of ingredients and soup. The taste is distinct, fresh but not greasy, and mellow with a hint of sweetness from medicinal herbs.

This was completely different from the feeling of the sticky soup that Xiao Ran had imagined.

What was even more shocking was that as the soup entered their mouths, a burst of magnificent ancient music seemed to be heard in everyone’s minds at the same time.

The music may be high-pitched and passionate, like a landslide, or low and gentle, like a steady stream of water.

This is definitely not an illusion, nor is it their image, but real music and songs that rush straight into the mind through the mouth.

In a trance, Xiao Ran even saw himself looking down from a high place. In the huge palace in front of him, the crisp sound of chimes rose melodiously, as clear as a mountain spring. The bronze drums followed closely behind, with sounds like thunder, deep, powerful and shocking.

As the music progresses, instruments such as the sheng, flute, qin, and se gradually join in, weaving together a series of gorgeous musical paintings. The delicious taste on the taste buds, coupled with this grand movement, makes people indulge in it and cannot extricate themselves.

"Ding! You consumed the D-level cursed item [Great Music Buddha Jumps Over the Wall], Spirit +5!" (This increase can only be done once.)
"You have consumed the D-rank cursed item [Great Music Buddha Jumps Over the Wall] and gained the privilege of the Great Music Festival."

Grand Festival: Activate this privilege, and for a short period of time, you will be blessed with the power of the festival, and all your skills will be temporarily enhanced! !

Duration: 30 seconds

"You consumed the D-rank cursed item [Great Music Buddha Jumps Over the Wall] and obtained the privileged Great Sacrifice Chapter: Spiritual Song."

Spiritual Song: After activation, you can be immune to D-level curse damage once.

A series of prompts appeared in front of Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran couldn't help but give Wu Man a thumbs up: "Awesome!!"

As expected of a C-level professional, just one dish can bring such a privileged effect. If I keep eating beside Wu Man, I can gain different attributes every day. It’s really too happy.

Apart from this dish, the other side dishes did not disappoint Xiao Ran and the others. Although these side dishes did not have any special features or attributes, they were simply impossible to stop eating. Paired with a big bowl of rice, they were filled with a sense of happiness.

The original flavor, the taste of the dish itself is what it is. Wu Man did not make any changes because of his extraordinary cooking skills, but just made the taste of each dish reach the extreme.

Mapo tofu, shredded pork with fish flavor, sweet and sour spare ribs, four-happiness meatballs, etc., made Xiao Ran and his friends eat so much that they couldn't stop smiling.

Even Sister Liu ate an extra bowl of rice for the first time ever, not to mention Xiao Ran, Lu Cheng, and Gu Ling Okra.

Even the white cat didn't play hard to get this time.

In the face of absolute deliciousness, any trick seems lame and ridiculously stupid.

Only when all the delicious food on the table was eaten up in no time, and even the white cat was lying on the table with its belly full, did Wu Man's face reveal a look of satisfaction.

For a cook, an empty plate is undoubtedly the greatest compliment.

After eating and drinking, Wu Man specially brewed a pot of tea. No one knew what kind of tea it was, but after drinking it, he immediately felt the depression in his stomach dissipate and he felt refreshed.

"correct!"

At this time, Xiao Ran remembered something: "I unexpectedly saw a well at the end of Guling Street..."

Xiao Ran recounted everything he had seen at the end of Guling Street. This time he did not hide anything and told everyone about the well, the statue, and the struggling strange shadow beneath the well.

Xiao Ran wasn't sure when this thing would crawl out, but he was sure that if it crawled out, Bone Spirit Street would be in big trouble.

So I am telling this story in the hope that everyone can be on guard.

Both Liu Rui and Wu Man were a little surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect that there was such a big trouble hidden at the end of Guling Street.

But before they could figure it out, Lu Cheng at the side said, "I've seen the well you mentioned."

After these words were spoken, Wu Man and Liu Rui looked at Lu Cheng in surprise.

Lu Cheng is not a beginner, and this is even his first time here. Even they don’t know what’s going on, but Lu Cheng knows everything.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Lu Cheng turned around and glanced at Xiao Ran.

"Brother, just tell me what you want to say. Don't worry, we are all family."

Although Wu Man still has some doubts, everyone is in the same boat on this matter.

"it is good."

Lu Cheng nodded and said, "When I went there for the first time, there were six statues there. I remember the brother who went with me at that time said that there was a woman sealed underneath."

“At the time, the brothers said… there was a seal on her and she couldn’t get out. But the second time I passed by, two of the statues were destroyed.”

Wu Man's eyelids slightly raised when he heard this. He did not ask how Lu Cheng passed by, but grasped the point and asked: "How long was the interval between your two times?"

"Well... not long, maybe a few days."

Lu Cheng thought about it, and then said with certainty, "Yes, about five days."

"That means that the statue was destroyed during this period of time."

"Yeah." Lu Cheng nodded affirmatively.

Now, Xiao Ran, Wu Man, and Liu Rui were all silent. It was obvious that someone had deliberately broken the seal, but they didn't know why the other party did that.

"It seems that someone is targeting Guling Street, or in other words, Penglai Tower or Changchun Society."

Wu Man picked up the tea and started to analyze the situation. Since Donglongfang was located in a relatively remote area, while Penglailou and Changchunhui were both located in the most prosperous places, once that thing came out, it would definitely cause great losses to the two families.

"Hey, whether it's the Changchun Society or the Penglai Tower, I think they're going to bleed a lot this time. We're..."

Wu Man looked at Liu Rui.

"Don't worry, Bone Spirit Street has its own rules. As long as we don't go out, our safety will be guaranteed as much as possible."

Liu Rui was quite confident about the safety of this house, or rather, she was confident in her own abilities.

"Well, with Sister Liu here, we are all relieved. However, in order to prevent any accidents, Wu Man would like to trouble you to help Sister Liu clean up this place in the next few days and strengthen the places that need to be strengthened."

Xiao Ran was still worried and told Wu Man about this.

"Hehe, I would have done this even if you didn't tell me. I'll be prepared in advance. I'll go to the Changchun Association later and buy some more cursed items to strengthen it."

Wu Man nodded with a smile, but her eyes rolled away and looked in the direction of Sister Liu, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Xiao Ran understood what Wu Man meant, so he said to Liu Rui on his behalf, "We can't let Wu Man do this in vain. Otherwise, give him some of the beauty wine downstairs."

Liu Rui nodded with a smile, and agreed readily to cooperate with Xiao Ran's performance: "Okay, go get it yourself, and it's up to you how much to take."

"Okay, okay, not much, five... three pounds, three pounds is enough."

Wu Man couldn't stop smiling. The beauty wine was right below him. He had been coveting it for a long time but had never found a chance. Now, he had three kilograms of beauty wine in his hands. It was a huge profit.

After everyone agreed, Xiao Ran called Qiu Kui and headed to the basement to prepare to sew the bodies. This time, the time was tight, and they had to deal with all the bodies in one night, and then set out early tomorrow morning...
