Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 33: Floating Fish Evil

The corridor of the carriage is filled with all kinds of "passengers"

A man in black shroud, his face as pale as if covered with a layer of putty, stood stiffly in place.

Behind him was an old man who looked kind and amiable, but he only had half a head.

The woman on the right looked more normal, but her face was very pale. She seemed to have noticed the gaze of the man in the vest and nodded slightly at him politely, but her left eye rolled out at an inopportune time.

Not to mention the several figures behind him who were covered in blood and emitting a foul stench.

This scene was beyond his cognition. He felt a strong sense of suffocation and a chill from his head to the soles of his feet, and even his blood froze.

For a moment, the man in the vest maintained the posture of standing up and wanted to sit down, but his thoughts did not receive any response from his limbs.

Instead, he maintained his sitting posture, which attracted the attention of the "passengers" around him.

Just when the man in the vest was stiff and at a loss, a hand pulled him from behind, and he lost his balance and fell backwards.

When my butt fell hard on the chair, I found that I was sitting in Xiao Ran's seat, and my seat was taken by Xiao Ran.

"Don't mind, my friend likes to enjoy the scenery, let's change seats." Xiao Ran said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I like to see the scenery."

The man in the vest nodded his head like a chicken eating rice, looking out the window, not daring to look back.

The passengers stared at Xiao Ran for a while, then silently looked away.

However, not all passengers buy into this.

A hand suddenly patted Xiao Ran's shoulder from behind. The icy temperature of the palm was as cold as an ice cellar, causing Xiao Ran to shiver.

He raised his head and saw that the woman next to him was wearing a blood-red long dress. Her black hair was loose and completely covered her face. Drops of water as big as beans were constantly dripping down her hair.

“Tick, tick…”

The water droplets dripping from my feet fell onto the floor of the car, and the air seemed to freeze.

The pale palm slid down Xiao Ran's shoulder. Xiao Ran could clearly see every blue vein on the palm, bulging like earthworms.

"This is really weird. I've never heard of seeing floating fish on a bus."

Xiao Ran frowned.

As the saying goes, horizontal fish is miserable, flying fish is hateful, and floating fish is evil. These three types of corpses are the most troublesome, especially floating fish. They are usually drowned. Water is yin, and when encountering a corpse, it is ominous and often turns into a water ghost. It likes to take the lives of innocent people the most.

The woman's hands were icy and cold. She stroked Xiao Ran's shoulders gently, and the smile on her lips began to become ferocious.

Xiao Ran didn't move, but just frowned and glanced sideways to observe the reactions of other passengers.

On the other side of the seat, an old man with a sly smile on his face put his hand in the bamboo basket, took out a handful of melon seeds, and started eating them with relish.

The lady in the front seat grinned at him.

Xiao Ran looked back and saw a few sneaky shadows in the back row seemed to have noticed the movement here and slowly started trying to move closer to Xiao Ran.

In an instant, the temperature around him began to drop rapidly, and the black swan brooch on Xiao Ran's chest kept sending him warnings.

That strong hostility seemed to surround me.

The woman looked at Xiao Ran's motionless appearance, and suddenly clenched her fingers, trying to pull Xiao Ran off the seat.

Xiao Ran's heart tightened, and when he was about to draw out the dagger in his right hand, he suddenly felt his arm sink. Looking back, he found that the man in the vest was holding his arm tightly, pulling the entire arm into his arms.

The man in the vest wanted to put his head into his crotch and his body shrank into a ball.

His heart was trembling at this moment, and only now did he realize that he shouldn't have gotten on this car.

But even though he was scared to death, he didn't dare to let go. Otherwise, if the boy was dragged away by the female ghost, regardless of whether he was dead or alive, his position would be vacant, and what would become of him?
He still understands the principle of the lips and teeth being in danger.

But he didn't know that his action was completely unnecessary.

Xiao Ran looked at the vest man's actions and didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, but she did have some good feelings for this greasy uncle. At least he could think of helping her at the critical moment.

"Sorry, I don't have the habit of giving up my seat!"

Xiao Ran turned around and glared at the woman coldly, then immediately used [Trainee] to activate the strange cloak on his body. The cloak suddenly became hard and bounced the woman's hand away.

Strange Cloak·Trainee
Privilege 2: Iron Armor
After activation, the cloak's strength increases by 200%, providing excellent defense against physical damage, but the player's mobility will be greatly reduced. Duration: 2 minutes
The woman was startled, staring at Xiao Ran with her bloodshot eyes. She reached out to Xiao Ran again. Xiao Ran raised his cloak to block in front of her, and his black nails made a harsh friction sound on the cloak.

The sound was extremely harsh, but it made the eyes of other passengers around him even more fiery.

Yet he let the woman's nails tear at the cloak.

"You are attacked by an evil spirit, gaining +1 sharpening point!"

Xiao Ran watched coldly as the woman's fingers grabbed his cloak, making a harsh friction sound. He did not choose to fight back immediately, but observed his surroundings silently.

He also noticed that the other evil spirits around him were becoming more and more malicious towards him, but they never came forward to attack him.

It seems that there is some kind of unspoken rules between them.

Considering that the female ghost in front of him just wanted to pull him out of the chair, Xiao Ran already had some guesses in his mind.

"It seems that as long as I don't leave my seat, they can only stare at me."

"But if that's the case, why can a woman attack herself?"

While wondering, Xiao Ran suddenly felt a chill under his feet. He looked down and found that a puddle had appeared under his feet at some point, and both feet were soaked in the puddle.

“It’s water!!”

Xiao Ran immediately understood what was going on. Water is yin, which matches the nature of the female ghost. He was stepping in the water, becoming the medium between the female ghost and himself, which gave the female ghost the ability to attack him.

But the other evil spirits in the carriage did not have this ability and could only stare blankly.

After scratching for more than ten times, the woman seemed to find that this could not hurt Xiao Ran. She seemed to become a little impatient, and drops of water kept dripping from her body.

She suddenly withdrew her hand, and her wet hair was like countless slender poisonous snakes, drilling into Xiao Ran's cloak through the gaps.

But this time, Xiao Ran didn't tolerate her anymore. He put all the accumulated points into strength in one breath: "Get out!"

As he spoke, his cloak opened and a cold light flashed from under the cloak.

"Draw your sword and kill!!"

The ghost girl's movements suddenly froze. Xiao Ran's sword slash was not only as fast as lightning, but also accurately hit the ghost girl's face. The huge force even split the ghost girl's cheek, and her body flew backwards involuntarily.

When the other evil ghosts saw this, they looked at Xiao Ran with some fear in their eyes. Even a few of them who had originally moved closer to Xiao Ran silently took two steps back.

Xiao Ran naturally noticed these changes: "Oh, they are still the kind of people who bully the weak and fear the strong."

"what!!"

At this time, the female ghost had already crawled up from the ground. The cut on her face had healed, but the pain made her grimace in pain. She shook her neck and opened her arms again to pounce on Xiao Ran and fight him to the death.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran realized that physical attacks alone would not do much harm to the female ghost, and immediately prepared to activate the [Mourning Ring].

"What are you yelling about? Be quiet!"

Suddenly! An angry roar instantly made the entire carriage quiet.

The driver in the driving seat slowly turned his head, and his bear-like face was now shrouded in shadow.

Even the female ghost who had already pounced in front of Xiao Ran froze. When she turned around and her eyes met the driver's, she seemed to be awakened all of a sudden, and she put down her hands unwillingly.

Under the messy long hair, the face looked like it had been soaked in water for a long time, twisted in pain, staring at Xiao Ran's innocent face with vicious eyes.

Seeing this, the other evil spirits immediately avoided the driver's gaze.

I don’t know if it was intentional or deliberate, but he deliberately exposed the female ghost and Xiao Ran to the driver’s sight.

The driver's small eyes narrowed into a slit, and his gaze turned to look at Xiao Ran and the female ghost. His eyes as big as green beans began to become unfriendly.

The woman seemed to want to say something, but her mouth was trembling and she couldn't utter a word.

Xiao Ran had the same feeling. The morbid smile on the driver's face when he crushed the monster flashed through his mind, and the pressure in his heart suddenly doubled.

But at this moment, Xiao Ran's peripheral vision inadvertently caught a glimpse of the water stains at the woman's feet. His mind suddenly moved, and he pointed at the water stains at the woman's feet and said:
"Brother, she peed on your car..."

　In fact, the name of this chapter should be [She Peed], but after thinking about it, it is easy to be censored, so forget it.
