Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 383 Guests do as they please
"Buzz, bang!"

As the door closed, the three of them let out a long sigh of relief.

"Oh my god, this is so sudden. Why did they choose this time?"

The woman among the three patted her chest, looking still frightened.

The other two men were much calmer than her. They looked around and saw that Sister Liu had already returned to the third floor.

Apart from Xiao Ran, only Qiu Kui, with a face full of curiosity, was left looking at the three people up and down.

"Thank you, brother. If it weren't for you, the three of us would have been in big trouble today."

"You're welcome. It just happened suddenly and no one was prepared."

As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps coming from the street outside.

He walked to the door and looked out through the peephole, only to see many beginners running forward in panic.

"Um...brother, my name is Carrot, and this is Cabbage and Onion, what do you call me?"

While Carrot was speaking, he glanced outside the door and apparently heard the sound of hurried running outside.

"Oh, just call me Durian."

"Brother Durian, it's like this. The situation outside is very chaotic right now. Although it may be a bit selfish for me to say this, if it is not necessary, we should not let more people in. The more people there are, the more likely it is that there will be chaos."

When Carrot said this, even his face felt a little embarrassed.

As the person being rescued, you have to prevent others from rescuing others. It is naturally embarrassing to say such things.

However, Xiao Ran did not show any dissatisfaction for this. Instead, he nodded in approval and said, "I understand what you mean. Just do what you can."

"Yes, yes, yes, do what you can, that's what I mean."

Carrot clasped his hands together and nodded repeatedly.

"I usually tell you to read more, but you can't even speak. Look at the meaning of four words, and you can't speak clearly."

Although Bai Cai is a woman, her Mandarin has a hint of Northeastern accent.

Onion, who was standing next to him, came forward, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Ran.

"Sorry, I don't smoke, and... the landlord doesn't like smoking either, so..."

After Xiao Ran expressed his refusal, he pointed his finger above his head.

"Oh oh oh, no more smoking, no more smoking."

Onion immediately put away the cigarette in his hand when he heard this. After all, he was fleeing here and had to obey the landlord in everything.

If they make the landlord unhappy and kick them out directly, they will have no place to cry.

Xiao Ran motioned for them to sit down in the living room and rest first, then walked slowly to the kitchen and cleaned up the dishes that Qiukuri had not yet washed.

As for Qiu Kui, Xiao Ran was afraid that the girl would let the cat slip, so he simply asked her to go find the white cat to prevent the cat from being dishonest.

"Little brother, this place is really nice. Since you are a tenant, how much is the rent? Do you have any other locations? In fact, we also like this style."

"I'm afraid I have to apologize. The landlord rarely comes out, and I haven't seen him for a long time recently."

"Oh, that's really...unfortunate."

While several people were talking.

Then I heard a "dong" sound outside, like the sound of a bell.

The sound of the bell was so dull that when people heard it, they felt uncomfortable all over their bodies for no apparent reason, but they couldn't tell where they felt uncomfortable.

Several people stood up and walked to the window to look out.

It was completely dark outside at this moment.

Everyone leaning against the windows could only see the vague outline of the street outside.

"I can only see ten meters at most, no further than that, what about you?"

Onion squinted his eyes and looked for a while and asked.

"I'm better than you. Twenty-five meters is the limit." Bai Cai frowned. Her profession was [Ancient Mirror] and she had the ability to identify things. At the same time, her eyes were born with golden pupils, so she could see every punctuation mark on the bus stop sign a thousand meters away.

But now I can only see clearly twenty-five meters, so you can imagine how bad the situation outside is.

"Did you receive the prompt just now?"

Xiao Ran asked.

"Well, judging from the hint, we only need to wait until dawn to be safe. Let's all work hard tonight and keep watch together."

Carrot said that he would be on duty in the first shift, followed by cabbage, onion, and finally Xiao Ran.

"No problem with that, but I have two things to make clear to you. First, the landlord is on the third floor, so don't go up there to disturb him."

"The second is the basement. That place is the landlord's workshop. It's best not to go there unless you have something to do. As long as you follow these two taboos, the landlord won't say anything if you stay here for one night."

Hearing Xiao Ran's instructions, Carrot thanked Xiao Ran again: "Don't worry, brother. We also know that we can't cause trouble to the master. We are very grateful that you can save us once."

"Okay, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while. If there's any noise, just call me. By the way, there are beer and drinks in the refrigerator."

After Xiao Ran gave repeated instructions, he went upstairs and returned to his room.

"Meow!"

I saw the white cat lying lazily on the table, stretching, as if it had just woken up, and it seemed that it didn't care at all about the changes in the situation outside.

"Master, are you just going to ignore them like this?" Only after Xiao Ran closed the door did Qiu Kui come out and ask.

"Hey, no matter what they do, they are just three little thieves. Since they want to play, just play with them."

Xiao Ran reached out and patted Qiu Kui's head. Before these three people walked into the room, the black swan brooch on his chest had already sounded the alarm.

These three people had harbored great ill will towards me from the very beginning, and had even followed me all the way. It was just a coincidence that they encountered this incident.

These three people followed him deliberately, and it was obvious that they were coming for him. Xiao Ran would just give them a chance and see if they could seize it.

"Hey, I was planning to give that kid Wu Man a surprise, but it looks like it won't be useful anymore."

Xiao Ran sighed in his heart.

This is my property. Anyone who dares to attack me here will be severely punished.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran even felt a little bit excited.

"What should I do, boss?"

On the other side, downstairs, seeing that Xiao Ran had already gone upstairs, Carrot and the other two gathered together and started whispering to each other.

"No rush, Bai Cai has already confirmed this guy's identity, and we can take our time with the rest."

Carrot narrowed his eyes. They were all hired by the Changchun Society and were specifically responsible for finding this guy.

The Dragon and Phoenix Meeting this time was held with such a grand ceremony, in fact, it might be an attempt to lure this kid into taking the bait.

I didn't expect that he would actually show up.

"Bai Cai, you were so close just now, did you see clearly the strength of this boy?"

"D-level horizontal training, I can only see one of his professions, and I can't see any other information."

Bai Cai's main business is [Ancient Mirror]. Through the cursed object, he can easily see the information of every beginner.

Just now, while Xiao Ran was not paying attention, Bai Cai had cast identification magic on Xiao Ran several times.

But apart from this profession, no information about attributes, cursed objects, and personal skills was identified.

This meant that Xiao Ran's mental power definitely surpassed his own, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see even this little bit of information.

"That's strange,"

Onion was immediately puzzled when he heard this. He had never heard that a master of the horizontal training profession could surpass Cabbage in mental strength.

However, the three of them did not take it seriously. With their abilities, even if this guy was a D-level professional, he could not escape their means.

"Bang bang bang!!"

Just as the three were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Seeing this, the three of them immediately became excited. Carrot walked to the door and looked out through the peephole.

I saw an old man covered in a cloak standing outside the door, holding a bamboo basket in his hands.

"Is there anyone who can give me something to eat?"

Carrot turned around and looked at Cabbage behind him. Cabbage walked forward, took out a pair of glasses from the space and put them on.

Then he looked through the cat's eye and saw that the person outside the door was not an old man at all, but an oversized weasel, looking around with a sly look in his eyes.

He wanted to continue knocking on the door, but his eyes kept looking at the black blessing hanging on the door, as if he was afraid.

"It's a weasel!"

Cabbage turned around and looked at Carrot: "According to the rules, if the weasel comes to our door, we have to agree to the conditions it proposes."

Carrot stretched out his hand, indicating that he was not in a hurry, and took out a cursed object from the space.

A small incense burner.

"Hehe, there is a saying that it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Today, let this kid see what it means to let a wolf into the house."

Carrot sneered, activated the incense burner in his hand, then grabbed a handful of incense ash and sprinkled it on the three people.

The incense ash spread out and covered the three people, temporarily making them invisible.

Then Carrot simply opened the door.

"Om..."

As the door opened, the old man in front of him squinted his eyes, looked around at the door, and then tiptoed into the house.

He raised his nose and sniffed the air carefully a few times, then walked towards the second floor.

He groped his way to Xiao Ran's door, raised his nose, and after confirming that there was someone inside, a strange smile appeared on the weasel's old face.

He put his head close to the door and knocked on the door of Xiao Ran's room: "Child, I'm hungry. Can you give me a fresh human heart to try?"

"Crack!"

At this time, the door opened.

Xiao Ran walked out from behind the door. The three people hiding in the corner couldn't help but sneer in their hearts when they saw him. They wanted to see how this kid was going to treat this uninvited guest.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran just scratched his head, glanced at the three people hiding in the corner and watching, and nodded to the weasel:

"Of course you can, but do you want to eat a man's heart or a woman's heart?"

The weasel heard this and his eyes rolled around. Then he turned around and looked at the three people hiding in the corner and said with a grin, "Hey, I'm fine with it. It's up to the host..."
