Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 28 Changchun Club and the Company
"Ding ding... ding ding..."

At seven o'clock in the morning, the alarm rang. Xiao Ran reached out and turned it off. Although he was awake, he still lay in bed with his eyes closed, and everything that happened last night flashed through his mind.

In a head-on fight, he really was no match for Xue Hongling. Even if he released his hounds from the start, Xue Hongling would probably run away immediately.

Only when Xue Hongling focuses all her attention on herself can she ignore the pack of dogs lurking around her.

But it is still quite dangerous, especially the Red Skull she summoned at the end. If I get hit by it, I will probably suffer a lot.

After opening his eyes, Xiao Ran sat up on the bed. Suddenly, he felt something at his hand. Turning back, he found a dead mouse on the head of his bed.

"Meow!"

The white cat had been lying on the table next to him at some point. When it saw Xiao Ran wake up, it roared at him a few times, then proudly raised its head and jumped off the table with a cat's gait and walked out.

Xiao Ran frowned and looked at the dead mouse beside the bed, feeling both amused and touched.

Although this cat is a little shy, it seems to be doing well now.

At least you'll care about yourself.

Of course, it’s better to have less of this kind of concern. After all, no one likes to see a dead mouse next to their pillow when they open their eyes.

Throw the mouse into a plastic bag and take it downstairs.

I opened the rolling door and checked the delivery box outside as usual. For some reason, no one had delivered items to the delivery box recently.

"Xiao Ran, have you eaten?"

When he turned around, he saw Uncle Wang coming over with a fishing tube. He handed the bucket to Xiao Ran, which contained a few small fish: "You didn't catch any big fish, so these small fish are for you to feed your cat."

This time Xiao Ran did not refuse, and took the bucket with a smile; "Okay, let's go fishing together some other day, and the fishing rod I bought just arrived."

"Okay, I'll help you make a nest and make sure you can catch a big fish."

"Good good."

After Uncle Wang left, Xiao Ran carried the small bucket into the house.

"Meow!"

The white cat jumped onto the counter, staring at the bucket in Xiao Ran's hand. It licked its tongue greedily at the small fish in it.

Xiao Ran picked up a fish and handed it to the white cat, trying to touch it. However, the white cat was very alert. It picked up the fish, turned around and jumped onto the counter, leaving Xiao Ran's hand raised in the air in vain.

"Besides, if you don't want to touch it, then don't touch it."

With a pout, Xiao Ran took out a few miscellaneous fish from the bucket and placed them in a small basin beside him. Then he closed the shop door and went outside to have breakfast.

Speaking of third-tier cities, they also have their advantages. Although the breakfast is not as exquisite as that in Guangdong and Shenzhen, it is large and filling, and also cheap.

A bowl of tofu pudding, two fried dough sticks, and four pan-fried buns is enough to fill you up for seven yuan.

Xiao Ran had a good appetite, but he still felt unsatisfied after finishing the meal, so he bought another meat box (fried meat patties) when he came back.

After returning home, Xiao Ran opened the rolling door and hung a sign on the door saying "Closed today". Then he closed the door, walked to the backyard, entered the side room, and took Xue Hongling's body out of the mystery city space.

Soon a strong smell of blood began to spread in the room.

Xue Hongling's face was a bloody mess, with many parts torn to reveal the bones beneath the skin.

Especially the cut on the throat was really horrible to look at.

As for the wounds in other parts of the body, there were too numerous to count. Xiao Ran was helpless about this, but these injuries were not a big problem for him.

First take off the things on Xue Hongling.

That ring and the cloak she was wearing, both of these items were cursed, and they were just right to replenish her fighting power.

Xiao Ran did not let go of the remaining clothes. He carefully stripped off every piece of clothing on Xue Hongling and did not stop until she was completely naked lying in front of him.

He looked at Xue Hongling's body.

In Xiao Ran's eyes, the graceful figure was nothing but a pile of rotten meat.

After carefully identifying the wounds on Xue Hongling's body, Xiao Ran took out the sewing tools and the Zhen'e Order at the same time.

"The Corpse Stitcher is activated!"

Xiao Ran's heart moved, and the dark red curse pattern drilled out of his body and poured into the [Evil Suppression Order]. The familiar feeling came again, and Xiao Ran began to sew up Xue Hongling's body with needle and thread. On the one hand, Xiao Ran wanted to try to see what abilities he could gain from Xue Hongling, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see if he could get some other information about the mystery city from this woman's memory.

Many of Xue Hongling's wounds were lacerations, and the damage was extremely serious. It would be impossible for an ordinary person to suture them, but in Xiao Ran's hands, it did not cause too much trouble.

In addition to suturing, there is also shaping, which means that some places are missing flesh and blood and need to be reshaped. At this time, some professional techniques that ordinary people cannot access are needed, such as dough modeling or clay modeling.

Simply put, it is to use dough or mud strips to replace the wound. It is not just a matter of pasting it on. You also need to outline the lines, color it and sew it up so that no one can see it.

However, Xiao Ran heard that with the development of technology, there are more high-tech means of body shaping, such as using 3D printers to shape the body, or even wrapping the entire person in a shell, making the outside look exactly like a living person.

For example, there was a case in Hong Kong where the victim was killed, dismembered and cooked. The husband spent two million to finally restore the body using this technology.

Unfortunately, it is not Xiao Ran’s turn to get such a huge deal.

Xue Hongling's face was repaired with dough, and as for the wounds on other parts of the body, Xiao Ran skillfully used master-level suturing techniques to suture them.

This time, the restoration went extremely smoothly without any resurrection or strange things happening.

Xiao Ran completed the entire repair in just fifteen minutes.

[You have reached the conditions to trigger the privilege, do you want to activate the privilege soul grabbing! ]

"Seize the soul!"

As Xiao Ran activated the soul-stealing technique, Xue Hongling's memories began to appear in front of Xiao Ran.

Most of them were scenes of Xue Hongling playing poker with different men every day. The process was too intense and Xiao Ran couldn't stand it, so he could only skip it.

Later there is a scene where she kills Guo Lingfei, but what she is holding in her hand is a puppet with Guo Lingfei's name and birth date engraved on it.

"This thing should also be a cursed object. Unfortunately, it has not been found. It should be in her mysterious city space."

Xiao Ran felt a pang of regret. After all, he really wanted a cursed object that could kill people from a distance.

At this moment, the scene changed and the cell phone next to Xue Hongling rang. After Xue Hongling pressed the answer button, a very strange message came out.

"Shuke Shuke, I'm Beta!"

When Xue Hongling heard the voice on the phone, her expression immediately became serious and she answered in the same tone: "Potato, potato, I am Hongshu."

The two of them were as mysterious as comparing codes. After hearing Xue Hongling's words, the one on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before speaking: "There was a gym coach who died tragically recently. You were the one who did it, right? Are you sick? What if the company finds out?"

"He's already killed, what else can I do?" Xue Hongling said nonchalantly.

"Try to eliminate the impact as much as possible and don't let the company know. Go to the password locker on the basement floor of Jianye Shopping Center in three days. There are the plane tickets, cash, and ID documents you need. Get your things and leave quickly."

"We're leaving now? I've only just settled down."

Xue Hongling frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with the instructions on the phone, "Last time we killed someone, the people from the company were watching, but they didn't do anything either?"

"Stupid, this is martial arts, it's martial arts, it's also a fight between beginners, the company not only doesn't care, but will also help with the aftermath. But you killed an ordinary person, if the company finds out, they will definitely pursue it to the end."

Hearing this, Xue Hongling seemed to come to her senses. She crossed her legs and said, "So, as long as the company can't find out, then it's fine."

"In that case, I really don't want to change places."

Xue Hongling hung up the phone and said, "Boring, Changchun Association? I think they are all a bunch of cowards."

The scene of memory ended here, and what followed were some scattered memories. Xiao Ran didn't have the patience to read on.

On the contrary, the Changchun Association and the company gave Xiao Ran a refreshing feeling.

“Could it be that this company is a law enforcement agency that specifically targets beginners?”

As for the Changchun Association, Xiao Ran had some impression of it.

I once heard from my grandfather that there is such an organization in the underworld, which is a gathering place for all kinds of craftsmen from all walks of life.

But what the hell is this mess of code words they use?

But Xiao Ran changed his mind and felt relieved. People always keep pace with the times, and the same goes for jargon. You can't say that Nanchun Beidian is jargon. Then shouldn't chicken stewed with mushrooms, palace jade wine, and the king covering the earth, these popular Internet terms, be jargon unique to the young people of the new era?
Xiao Ran's thoughts gradually faded from Xue Hongling's memory, and at the same time, the prompt sound followed.

"The corpse of Xue Hongling that you repaired is rated A-grade, and you gain 30 energy points."

"The Soul-Suppressing Order succeeded, and you gained Xue Hongling's ability [Draw the Sword and Slash]"
