Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 419 So that’s how it is!

"Help me take revenge?"

The woman raised her head and looked at Xiao Ran with a very strange look, then suddenly couldn't help laughing.

"Help me to get revenge. Did you hear me? Haha, hahahaha, help me to get revenge."

The woman looked crazy, and several ghost officials were holding mourning sticks beside her, ready to guard against this androgynous creature from doing anything out of line.

The woman suddenly stopped smiling and stared at Xiao Ran fiercely: "What were you doing so far?"

"In the seventh year of Dazhong, the government troops killed 72 people in my village in the name of searching for bandits. I was tortured to death by the government troops, and my newlywed husband was skinned alive.

Afterwards, in order to destroy the evidence, they simply destroyed the sluice gate and diverted water to flood the entire village.

But I didn't expect that it would make me confused and resentful.

I reported the case to the City God, but he said he had no right to intervene in matters of the living world and wanted to send me to hell! ! "

When Xiao Ran heard this, he glanced at the ghost officers beside him, but the ghost officers pretended not to see anything.

"Later, I went to the government office in a dream to complain about my grievances, but instead of redressing my grievances, the government invited monks to perform a ritual to shatter my soul. They dug out my body, crushed it to dust, and placed it under a stone tablet at the entrance of the village."

"Seven years ago, a Taoist priest felt sorry for me and let me out. He told me that there is no justice in this world. There is only the law of the jungle. The government officials are wolves and the underworld is a tiger. There is no place for me in this world. If I want justice, I can only become a wolf myself. As long as I kill 3,600 people, I can achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven. Then I can take revenge on all my grievances and revenge on all my enemies!"

At this point, the woman's face was full of regret, regretting that she had been killing too slowly over the years.

At first, I was a little hesitant and only killed those who looked dishonest.

Later, he only killed bad guys like Hang Sui.

Even if they saw weak children, women or kids among them, they would generously let them go and even give them some gold and silver.

In seven years, he has not yet killed a thousand people. If he had been a little more ruthless, he would have killed the enough people long ago and would not have been captured by these ghost officials.

"In the seventh year of Dazhong... well... I have some impression that there was indeed a bandit problem at that time, and Emperor Xuanzong did issue an order to eliminate the bandit problem in various places..."

Li Jie thought secretly in his heart that since he was unpopular, his duty was to organize the library, and he had an impression of most of these files.

Comparing the time briefly, my heart suddenly tightened and my whole body couldn't help but shiver.

"In the seventh year of Dazhong, Prince Yun was ordered to eliminate the bandits and killed 4,600 of them. He was rewarded with numerous titles and was promoted to the title of General of Chang'an."

"Prince Yun...isn't that the current emperor?"

When Li Jie thought of this, his face turned pale and he shut his mouth obediently, not daring to say a word.

Xiao Ran didn't notice the change in Li Jie's expression. He felt mixed emotions as he listened to the words of the woman in front of him.

An inexplicable emotion arose in my heart, and I don’t know how to express it.

"Revenge, even if you avenge me, it doesn't matter. Even if you kill their entire family, it will not be able to eliminate the hatred in my heart! !"

The woman's resentment became more and more intense. Seeing this, several ghost officials directly pressed the woman with mourning sticks.

"Sir, everything in human affairs has its own retribution and reincarnation. Cause and effect have long been determined. The Book of Life and Death will definitely not let go of any cause and effect. Sir, there is no need for you to be confused by her."

The leading ghost officer smiled and handed over the [God-Locking Whip] that Xiao Ran had originally lent to Hang Sui, and at the same time comforted him. It was obvious that they had already become accustomed to this kind of thing and did not think it was a big deal at all.

But Xiao Ran still felt unhappy.

He nodded woodenly: "Send her down, but..."

"Don't worry, our brothers will give her preferential treatment. At least she won't suffer before she goes to Yama Palace."

"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Ran took out a stack of Yin notes and calmly handed them to the ghost messenger, "Take these guys with you as well."

What Xiao Ran was talking about were Hang Sui and others who were possessed by the ghost. Originally, Xiao Ran planned to take action against these people himself.

But now...

He is no longer interested.

"It's a small matter. It's no problem to take a few people down with me."

Several ghost officials grinned. This was a good job. Hang Sui and his group were not supposed to die. Even if they were possessed by the ghost officials, they would not be killed.

But when Xiao Ran spoke, their fate changed. Before leaving, they only needed to suck all the blood, flesh and essence of these guys in one gulp and have a full meal.

"Just on duty, there is one more thing."

"what?"

"Since you have inherited the karma of the plum blossom lineage, you should report to the lower levels as soon as possible. With the notification from the underworld, we brothers can also ask for a job from you in the future."

"Oh, are we going to the underworld?" Xiao Ran asked.

Strictly speaking, he is a ghost messenger, who is managed by the City God and is the agent of the underworld in the world of the living. The City God is managed by the Underworld Division, one of the Six Officials of the Underworld.

That's why Xiao Ran asked this.

However, the ghost messenger waved his hand and explained, "Haha, no, no, the underworld is in charge of the City God and the underworld messenger. It has nothing to do with you and cannot intervene in your affairs. You have to report it to your superiors."

"Upward?"

What is above the Six Cases of Gongcao? ? The Ten Kings of Hell?

"What do you mean by up?"

"Hehe, the Sixth Heaven of Fengdu, is the Emperor Yin."

After the ghost messengers finished speaking, they bowed without waiting for Xiao Ran to ask in detail, "You will understand the specific rules when you go on duty. We dare not make jokes. The duty is over. Take care."

After saying that, several ghost officers escorted the woman, and a gust of cold wind blew up out of nowhere. In an instant, sand and rocks flew everywhere in front of everyone's eyes. When everyone opened their eyes again, they found that the ghost officers had disappeared without a trace.

In addition to the woman, Hang Sui and others were also taken away.

I hope these people can find a good place in the underworld.

As the woman was taken away, the evil spirit in front of him dissipated, and the gloomy sky finally began to gradually reveal the dawn.

"Is this the end?"

Gao Yuting, holding a sword, walked out of the villa with the children.

She knew that with Xiao Ran's abilities, there would definitely be no accidents.

But she didn't expect it to be solved so quickly. This village is very strange. If it were her, she would not be able to escape so easily.

This made Gao Yuting feel even more mysterious about this man.

"Tell me, how many skills do you have hidden?"

Thinking of this, Gao Yuting came over and pinched Xiao Ran's arm with her fingers.

"Oh my, no, no, no, they are all small tricks, small tricks. This thing is easy for those who know how to do it, but difficult for those who don't. My wife, just practice sword skills diligently. The great way leads to the same destination. When you enter the heaven, no demon or evil spirit will be enough for you to chop off with one sword."

Xiao Ran flattered Gao Yuting, but what he said was not wrong.

Every profession has its own specialties, but all paths lead to the same destination.

Not only can he bombard indiscriminately with various magic spells, he can also summon ghost messengers.

This ghost officer would not help Xiao Ran kill people or fight, but he could beat these evil spirits without making a sound.

So when others meet the red and white evil spirits, they can only avoid them, but Xiao Ran is not afraid of them at all.

But if Gao Yuting is able to completely digest the sword intent of Shuang Fei and successfully ascends to the celestial being, which is equivalent to an A-level professional, then this little trick will lose its meaning to her.

No matter what kind of monster or demon it is, no one can stop it with one strike of the sword.

"Well, that's true."

Gao Yuting raised her head and glanced at the bodies of Hang Sui and others on the ground. She curled her lips and said, "It's really a good thing for them to die so peacefully!"

Ever since Hang Sui broke the girl's neck, Gao Yuting almost couldn't help but rush out to kill him.

But in the end, he endured it, and after Hang Sui and the others left, he rescued the children.

This will also prevent these children from being affected.

"Master, Madam, what should we do with these children?" The second in command came up and asked.

"This……"

The second in command's question really stumped Xiao Ran.

Looking at these children who were frightened and had not yet recovered from their shock, looking at him innocently and ignorantly, Xiao Ran's mood couldn't help but become heavy again.

He couldn't go any further with these children.

In front is Luoyang, and further back is Chang'an.

With Xiao Ran's financial resources, it would not be a problem to buy a house to support them, but the problem was that he could not protect them for long.

It is not difficult to see from Li Jie's words that whether it is Chang'an or Luoyang, it is no different from hell on earth now.

Taking them there would only make them prime prey in the eyes of the royal family and the rich.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Ran came up with an idea and said, "Take them with you first. Luoyang City is just ahead. I will find a good place for them."

Xiao Ran said, taking out a small notebook from the space and adding a note on it: "Place these children."

It was still dark, so everyone took this opportunity to have a good rest.

Xiao Ran put all the corpses into the [Yin Bing Gourd] and then took out some food to share with the children.

As soon as it was daybreak, Xiao Ran placed all the children in the carriage. As for Li Jie, he rode a horse instead, since Hang Sui and his men had brought enough horses.

To be on the safe side, Xiao Ran specially released the painter and archer to follow in the team.

The combat capability of both of them is not that strong, but it is enough. At least in the current world, they can be regarded as second-rate masters in the world.

The team set out again, with no conversation along the way.

Xiao Ran rode his horse leisurely in front of the team, thinking about everything he had seen on the way here.

Huolongzhai, Li Jie, the Red and White Devils, Hang Sui, and even the children in the carriage.

All these seemingly unrelated things were like a rope wrapped around Xiao Ran's heart.

Especially the final questions posed by the Red and White Devils to him made Xiao Ran feel a sense of helplessness that he could not refute.

You think you are so awesome and can do anything. You have extraordinary abilities. I can help you get revenge, right? Why don’t you cooperate with me?
In the end, she spat in his face. What's the point of revenge? Can it make her pay back for all the suffering she's gone through?

So what if I am strong? Can I let these innocent people survive?

Compared with the Red and White Devils, I am just a little luckier than them, as I was born in an era under the red flag.

This era may not be perfect, but at least it will give every ordinary person space to survive and grow.

I always feel that my fate is terrible. I have never seen my parents since I was a child, and my grandfather died of illness when I grew up. I have to make a living by my craft, but it happens to be a job dealing with the underworld, and I stench like a corpse.

But compared to them, how lucky I am...

Just when Xiao Ran's mind was getting heavier, a hand was placed on Xiao Ran's shoulder: "What are you thinking about? You've been like a mute all the way. Come sing a song for me."

Xiao Ran raised his head and looked at Gao Yuting's cheek, suddenly feeling a little curious.

"Yuting."

"how?"

"I have a question. Have you never felt that I have... a smell?"

This problem has troubled Xiao Ran for a long time. Normally, any girl would feel sick when smelling the smell on his body. If they knew it was the stench of a corpse, some would even vomit on the spot.

How did Gao Yuting overcome this difficulty and bring herself down?
"smell??"

Gao Yuting rubbed her nose: "What's that smell? Did you poop in your pants?"

"go with!"

Xiao Ran curled his lips, but then his eyes turned, as if he realized something. He quietly took out a bottle of perfume from the space and sprayed it behind Gao Yuting.

"Hey, it smells so good!"

The second in command raised his nose and sniffed hard like a wild boar.

But Gao Yuting didn't seem to notice it at all. Seeing this, Xiao Ran suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's how it is..."
