Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 41: Run, they are coming down

"Om~"

When the dormitory door opened again, the sky outside had begun to become hazy.

There is no sun, moon or stars in the mystery city world. There is not much difference between day and night, but when night falls, you can clearly feel that night is coming.

Whether it was the wind or the air, there was a smell of fear.

Xiao Ran walked out of the dormitory door, followed closely by four people.

The expressions of the four men seemed even more dull than before, and their clothes were covered in blood.

"Come on, take me to your dormitory."

Xiao Ran closed the door and spoke to the young man in the lead, Wang Jun.

Wang Jun nodded woodenly and took Xiao Ran to the fourth floor.

I walked up the stairs step by step, and the noise in the corridor became more and more chaotic.

Occasionally, you could even hear some smashing sounds.

The corridor is filled with various propaganda slogans.

For example, there are funny labels like "If you are a brother, come and kill me" and "I will take you to show off and fly", but there are also some formal posters that list the welfare and benefits hierarchy in detail.

"These guys really think this place is a lawless place and are ready to rule the world."

Xiao Ran couldn't help but curl his lips when he looked at the information. From the information he got from Wang Jun and others, these beginners had already been developing on campus for some time.

At present, there are more than ten clubs of all sizes in the entire dormitory building. For example, Kongge Club, Causeway Bay, and Daqianmen are all large clubs with at least twenty to thirty dormitories under their control.

Xiao Ran speculated that there were at least three or four beginners in each of these three clubs.

The remaining medium-sized clubs can control about ten dormitories, which is already a very impressive strength.

The smaller ones have at most five or six rooms, and it all depends on personal development.

Apart from these clubs, there are some special dormitories that neither join nor deal with these clubs, but the level of these dormitories is very high.

Xiao Ran speculated that these dormitories should be occupied by some scattered beginners who were too lazy to develop clubs.

Come to think of it, as long as you complete the three side quests, you can leave the mystery city at any time, and then take some supplies with you next time, hide here and continue to develop slowly. You can form an absolutely safe asset in such a dormitory, and you can do whatever you want with impunity. Anyone would be tempted.

But for Xiao Ran, this was too boring.

Although the students here are all corpses, he has repeatedly experimented on Wang Jun and the other four many times. Using the Soul-stealing Order, he can only read their memories, and the memories themselves are limited to the memories here. As for the memories before their death, they have none at all. As for the skills he wants...

Oh, it cannot be said that there is absolutely no such thing. For example, Wang Jun gave himself an ability, crisis sensing.

When a crisis approaches you, there is a certain probability that you will have a subtle sense of it.

It was with this ability that Wang Jun managed to get a position as a team leader in the [Independent Regiment].

As for the others, it's pure waste of time.

"This way, Old Wolf!"

As soon as they walked up to the fourth floor, they heard someone shouting over here. Wang Jun and others didn't move until the other party shouted twice. Then Xiao Ran remembered that Lao Lang seemed to be Wang Jun's nickname.

He immediately nodded to Wang Jun, who then seemed to realize something belatedly and walked over with Xiao Ran.

"What's wrong? Are you still asleep?"

Seeing the dull expressions of Wang Jun and the others, Yang Kai raised his hand and punched Wang Jun on the shoulder, then took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Wang Jun.

Wang Jun took the cigarette and looked towards the dormitory in front of him.

I saw that the door of the dormitory room had been smashed. There was a large space inside, but the walls and the floor were covered with blood and scattered debris.

At this moment, two students were busy cleaning up inside.

"Don't look at them. They are unlucky. Three night ghosts broke into the door last night. They couldn't resist and all died."

Yang Kai held a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the black stockings hanging on the bedside, and shook his head with a look of regret: "That girl was quite pretty, now her head has been bitten off. I told her to come and hang out with me."

After Yang Kai finished speaking, he noticed Xiao Ran standing behind him: "Hey, there's a newcomer, my name is Yang Kai, from team four, what's your name?"

"Hello, Brother Kai, my name is Wang Meng."

Xiao Ran nodded shyly towards Yang Kai and said.

"Hehe, you're quite sensible." He patted Wang Jun's shoulder and said, "Be careful when hunting ghosts tonight. The night ghosts seem to have become stronger recently. I heard that a third-level night ghost appeared out of nowhere and awakened its abilities. The team leader and his men couldn't kill it last night, and most of the second team was killed."

Xiao Ran stood nearby and listened. According to what Wang Jun and the others remembered, there were nine levels of Night Ghosts. Every three levels, a special ability would be awakened and the strength would be greatly increased. Once it reached the ninth level, it would be a disaster for the entire dormitory building.

But Xiao Ran was very interested in the night ghost, especially the night ghost with awakened abilities.

Wang Jun nodded expressionlessly. Seeing his expression, Yang Kai was used to it. This guy was like this every time he encountered danger. But it must be said that this guy was always very lucky and avoided danger several times.

Thinking of this, Yang Kai put his arm around Wang Jun's shoulder and said, "Let's act together tonight. If there are any problems, you can help me."

"it is good."

After Wang Jun opened his mouth and said a word, he turned around and walked to the other side with Xiao Ran and the others.

After walking past several dormitories, Wang Jun took out the key and opened the door.

Xiao Ran followed them in and found that the room was not bad, better than his own dormitory.

Not only is the door of the room a high-end anti-theft door, there is even an upright fan inside, and the bed has obviously been upgraded.

In particular, there were two talismans pasted on Wang Jun’s bed.

"Alright, let's get started!"

Xiao Ran closed the door, clapped his hands, and signaled Wang Jun and the others to take out all the valuable things in the dormitory for him.

The wardrobe was opened and Wang Jun took out a shoe box, which was heavy with badges.

Although they are just ordinary campus badges, the quantity is astonishing. There are at least a hundred of them in this box.

Several other people also took out their own badges one after another. Surprisingly, an inconspicuous younger brother actually took out a special badge from his pillow.

【Campus Badge: Cruelty】

After reading the memories of the four people, Xiao Ran knew that this special badge was definitely a scarce resource on campus.

This little brother followed Wang Jun. No one knew where he got the badge from, but he had been keeping it hidden. It was obvious that he had his own little plan.

But it doesn't matter. No matter what he thought before, it's mine now. "Nice curtains, mine!"

"Nice mattress, mine!"

"The pillow is quite soft, mine!"

"The bed is mine too!"

"mine!"

"It's all mine!"

Xiao Ran would not let go of anything that could be thrown into the space. What surprised him was that the electric fan turned out to be a special item.

When a night ghost breaks into the door, a strong wind can be generated to blow the ghost away.

Although it is of little use, sometimes just this little delay may give the people in the dormitory time to fight back.

In a blink of an eye, the entire dormitory was moved out by Xiao Ran.

Now, let alone a night ghost, I’m afraid that if a mouse comes in, I’ll shake my head again.

After packing up all the things, Xiao Ran happily led his people out of the dormitory. The only pity was that he couldn't take the door away.

Back on the second floor, Xiao Ran handed over the rotten beds in his room to Wang Jun and the others and threw them away. Then he arranged all the things he had moved in, took out the badges that Wang Jun and the others had accumulated, and started to upgrade.

"Ding! Doors and windows upgraded to level 1!"

"Ding! Doors and windows upgraded to level 2!"

"Ding! Doors and windows upgraded to level 3..."

Xiao Ran spent almost all of his more than one hundred badges on upgrading the doors and windows, upgrading them to level seven in one go.

(Note: The cost doubles at each level, and the cost at level 64 is !)

The originally thin wooden door was turned into a dark blue metal door.

There are also anti-theft windows made of iron bars outside the windows.

Not to mention, after the upgrade, Xiao Ran actually felt a sense of security.

Lying on the soft bed, Xiao Ran half closed his eyes and rested for a while, wondering in his heart what was going on with Huang Le at the moment.

About half an hour later, the light outside the window began to dim completely.

The noisy sounds in the corridor gradually quieted down, leaving only the dim light shining on the white walls.

Xiao Ran, Wang Jun and others came to the hall on the first floor of the dormitory again and started to gather.

There were more than ten people standing sparsely in the hall, holding axes, hammers and other things in their hands.

Ghost hunting operations are not carried out every night, but major clubs will assign some people to participate every week.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to let these people attract the night ghosts so that those beginners hiding in the dark can find an opportunity to take action.

Yang Kai who was there before also came over at this time, accompanied by three boys.

When almost everyone had arrived, a bald man came out carrying a machete.

"Remember, there is a safe house on the third and sixth floors, east, west, south, and north. Once you encounter a night ghost, if you can't hold on, immediately retreat to the safe house. The code is to fight the tiger tonight!"

"Son of a bitch!"

Yang Kai stood aside and cursed inwardly. There were nearly thirty people here, but only four safe houses, and they were so far apart. It was obvious that they were allowed to attract as many night ghosts as possible.

Of course, Yang Kai could only express these complaints in his heart.

He looked back at Wang Jun and said, "Brother Jun, this time it all depends on you."

Wang Jun didn't say anything, just nodded.

The crowd was divided into six groups and went up the four fire escapes along the east, west, south and north sides of the dormitory building. The other two teams patrolled up the middle stairs.

Nearly thirty people may seem like a lot, but when they are separated, a group may only have six or seven at most, and the smallest may only have three or four.

It was still early before the lights were turned off at night, and everyone was still relatively relaxed.

However, they were all moving towards the safe house on the third floor intentionally or unintentionally.

Yang Kai didn't know if it was because he was nervous, but he talked a lot. When everyone reached the third floor, Yang Kai glanced at the closed dormitory door in the stairwell.

All I could hear was a slight gasp and a banging sound coming from inside the door.

"These idiots!"

Yang Kai was cursing while fighting hard outside the door, but these bastards were having a great time in the dormitory.

No one would feel comfortable. Thinking of this, he walked to the dormitory door and kicked it hard a few times: "Stop howling, or you will attract night ghosts and you will all be doomed."

As if frightened by Yang Kai's actions, the chirping sounds in the room began to weaken.

Seeing this, Yang Kai raised his head with a proud look on his face and walked forward.

Xiao Ran followed the team slowly and watched Yang Kai's actions. He felt that this guy was a man of temperament.

Just as he was thinking about it, a cool breeze blew over. Xiao Ran's heart tightened. He looked towards the side corridor in the direction of the wind, and saw an old man wearing a vest and holding a broom in his hand standing at the staircase leading to the fourth floor, looking at them.

As if he had noticed Xiao Ran's gaze, a hint of surprise flashed in the old man's turbid eyes, and then he pointed above his head towards Xiao Ran.

"The top of your head?"

Xiao Ran was startled and looked up at the ceiling above his head, but saw nothing.

"Hurry up, kid, what are you looking at?"

At this time, Yang Kai noticed that Xiao Ran, who was walking behind him, was motionless, so he walked up to him and asked casually.

"nothing."

Xiao Ran shook his head and looked at the old man again. Yang Kai, who was standing beside him, followed Xiao Ran's gaze and looked in the same direction, but the staircase was empty and there was nothing there.

When Yang Kai was wondering, Xiao Ran's eyes gradually became stern. His lips moved slightly, and he silently read in his mind following the old man's lip language: "Run, they are coming down..."

As if to confirm the old man's words, the lights in the corridor suddenly flickered a few times, and then Xiao Ran heard a series of footsteps running down the stairs.

　Sorry, it's a bit late today, this chapter is quite long.
