Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 34 Temporary Ticket Inspector
Ghost: ? ? ?
Ghosts:? ? ?
As Xiao Ran finished speaking, the entire carriage suddenly fell silent, and the female ghost's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Yes, yes, she peed, and it was so noisy!!"

Unexpectedly, the man in the vest next to him also pointed at the female ghost and shouted, pinching his nose and with a look of disgust on his face.

It would have been better if he hadn't said it. Now that he said it, there really is a smell of urine.

Xiao Ran wrinkled his nose and looked down. Sure enough, the water stains on the ground seemed to be much yellower than before. He was wondering, but when he turned around, he found that a large area of the vest man's pants was wet. He was speechless for a moment.

The driver was startled, glanced at the water stains on the ground, then turned his head, and after a brief silence, suddenly stepped on the brakes.

"squeak!!"

The sudden sound of brakes was like a sign of a violent storm.

The obese body suddenly stood up from the driver's seat.

"So high!!"

Xiao Ran's pupils contracted. When the driver stood up, he realized that the other person was so tall, two meters tall, with his head touching the car. The suffocating feeling of oppression on his body made him feel that the person walking towards him was more like a human-shaped giant bear.

The moment the driver stood up, wisps of black smoke surged on his body, floating around the driver's body, and from time to time the outline of a human face emerged from the smoke.

However, Xiao Ran also noticed at this moment that the black smoke seemed to come from the pair of white gloves on the driver's hands.

He stared at the glove and saw that the back of the glove was white, but there was a very strange pattern on the palm.

"Cursed object!!"

He looked at the driver, but he didn't look like a beginner at all.

It seems that like Li Ji, they are all native to the mysterious city world.

Facing the driver walking towards them, the woman was obviously panicked. Like a frightened cat, her long hair stood up like a hedgehog and pointed at the driver's face.

Black resentment flowed in every strand of hair, but compared with the black energy wrapped around the driver, it was nothing.

The driver just glanced at the water stains on the ground, raised his nose, and his face suddenly darkened. He raised his hand, which was thicker than a door panel, and slapped the female ghost.

"Whoosh..."

Xiao Ran, who was sitting nearby, felt a suffocating gust of wind suddenly blew up in front of his eyes. Even though the slap was still some distance away from him, he still felt a burning sensation on his face.

The power is so strong that even physical attacks can have the effect of magical attacks.

He couldn't imagine what it would feel like if such a force hit him.

There was a muffled "bang!" sound.

The ghost girl's body flew directly from the front carriage to the ground in the rear carriage. The loud sound of the landing was like a sledgehammer hitting every passenger in the heart.

But this was far from over. The next moment, a sound like a cat's scream was heard in the carriage.

The driver grabbed the woman's hair and swung his fist, which was as big as a casserole, at the female ghost.

The sound of "Bang Bang!"

Even if you are sitting on a chair, you can feel the weight of the punch coming from under your butt.

Xiao Ran looked carefully and found that the black resentment on the woman's hair was actually swallowed up by the driver's gloves when it touched the driver's gloves. Obviously, the gloves must be some kind of high-level cursed object.

At least the level will not be lower than the [Fourth Ring] in his hand.

At this moment, all the passengers were like monks in meditation, with their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts. However, whenever the woman's screams rang out, these guys would glance at her from time to time, with a hint of smug smile on their lips.

There were a few brave ones among them, such as the man holding a bamboo basket, who took out melon seeds from the basket from time to time, cracking them while watching with great interest.

There was also a man in the third row on the left, near the door, with his legs crossed, revealing a pair of shiny black leather boots. Although his eyes were closed, he was listening to the woman's screams with his ears perked up, as if it was a beautiful piece of music, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

Xiao Ran's eyes were examining the faces of these passengers one by one, carefully watching the changes in their expressions.

These 'passengers' are not good people either.

Although the woman's trouble was solved, who can say for sure that other passengers won't harass them at the next stop?

After all, he and the man in the vest were sitting together with these "passengers", and it seemed that I was at a disadvantage no matter how I looked at it.

Xiao Ran frowned and looked at the [Passenger Rules] hanging in front of him again.

In just a short while, the female ghost was pinned to the ground and beaten hard by the driver.

What is Fuyuxie? In the face of absolute power, the female ghost could only scream. In a moment, her head was smashed into a ball of paste, and her chest was directly sunken.

The driver dragged the woman's body to the back door, ready to throw her out.

But when I looked at the closed car door, I remembered that I hadn't pressed the open button yet.

"Click!!" However, surprisingly, the car door was opened at this time.

The driver looked up and found that Xiao Ran had stood next to the driver's seat at some point and pressed the door-opening button.

This scene made the man in the vest almost bite off his tongue, "When did this guy get up? Is he crazy?" Shocked, he quickly twisted his butt and moved to Xiao Ran's position.

He didn't want to give other 'passengers' the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and at the same time he prayed in his heart that the driver would not bother with this guy.

He really wanted to shout Xiao Ran to come back quickly, but he was afraid that his shouting would attract the driver's attention, and then he would find out that he had wet his pants. Looking at what happened to the female ghost, he didn't think he could be tougher than her.

The momentary tangled expression looked like constipation.

Fortunately, the driver just glanced at Xiao Ran, then threw the woman out of the car and turned to the driving seat.

Seeing the driver coming towards him, Xiao Ran did not return to his seat, but instead spoke to the driver.

"Hello, I see there is no ticket inspector up there, can I try?"

Xiao Ran pointed to the [Passenger Rules] hanging nearby.

There is a message on it: "There is no ticket inspector on this train, so please purchase tickets on your own initiative."

"Hiss! Is there such a thing?" The man in the vest listened to Xiao Ran's words and felt that this guy must be crazy. It was such a horrible bus that he wished he would never get on it again in his life, but this guy actually applied for the job?
The driver lowered his head and looked Xiao Ran over with his small green bean-like eyes: "You want to be a ticket inspector?"

"Yes, I think I can give it a try."

Even when standing in front of the driver who looked like a mountain of flesh, Xiao Ran was not at all nervous. Compared to the various commissions he often accepted, this kind of scene was nothing.

Since the [Passenger Rules] says "None yet", it means there was originally a ticket inspector.

Try it yourself. Even if the driver doesn't agree, he won't attack you for such a small thing.

Seeing Xiao Ran's confident expression, the driver grinned. His smile was very playful, and there was a weird feeling as if he was watching a good show.

He took out a faded red armband from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Ran. "Well, good luck to you, and clean up the car."

It was unexpectedly smooth, which surprised Xiao Ran.

"Okay." Xiao Ran agreed and stretched out his hand to take the red armband.

At the same time, blood-red words appeared in front of Xiao Ran's eyes again.

[Trigger side quest: Temporary ticket inspector]

Mission requirements: Before you arrive at the station, you need to pay the driver five [five ghost money] or equivalent cursed objects.

Task Tips: You can find passengers who steal tickets by checking tickets, punish them and collect high fines.

Mission Difficulty: E

Mission Reward: E-level

(Note: If you don’t have enough money for the dead, you’d better be prepared to spend a lot.)
"Are there any side missions?"

This was somewhat unexpected for Xiao Ran, and the difficulty of the task was quite high. You know, the main task of the last mystery city trial was only E-level.

After carefully scanning the contents above, Xiao Ran lowered his head and looked at the faded red armband on his hand.

"A Class F cursed item has been discovered. Do you want to activate it?"

"activation."

After Xiao Ran released the connection between the strange cloak and the trainee, he turned to activate the cursed object in his hand.

As the black curse pattern penetrated into the armband and left a strange mark on it, the information about this cursed object also appeared in Xiao Ran's mind at the same time.

F-level cursed item: Red armband trainee

While the bus is running, you can "check tickets" for any passenger on the bus. If the other party cannot produce a ticket, you can perform a curse and make the passenger make the following choices.

Option 1: Pay the fare

But it will be calculated at three times the fare.

Option 2: Cursed Pact

Triggers a curse, causing the target to fall into a 30-second rigidity period during which the target cannot move and the damage taken is increased by 1.5 times. The target can choose to pay ten times the ticket price (mortgage the cursed object) to lift the curse, or endure the 30-second rigidity period.

(Note 1: If the target survives the 30-second stiffness period, you will not be able to check the target again!)

(Note 2: You can only use the ticket checking right twice for each stop. This cursed item can only be used on bus No. [404].)
　During the new book period, I hope everyone will not keep an eye on it. It is very tiring to read it. As a young and budding writer, I beg you to do this.
