Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 522 Seeking Death (This was yesterday)

The Crown Prince was stunned for a moment by the simple greeting. The next second, Xiao Ran had already punched the Crown Prince in the face.

This sudden change caught the Crown Prince off guard. He instinctively put his arms in front of his chest and leaned back to avoid the attack.

But he underestimated Xiao Ran. Although they were both skilled in horizontal martial arts, Xiao Ran was not only good at swordsmanship, but his boxing and kicking skills were also fierce and decisive.

The crown prince's arms were numb from the punch, and at the same time, a flying knee hit the crown prince's chest and ribs. "Crack!" The suffocating pain made the crown prince's eyes go black, but before the sound of the bone cracking had subsided, Xiao Ran spun around and jumped up, following up with a whip-kick.

"boom!!"

The overwhelming force brought about such a crushing blow that the Crown Prince couldn't help but scream, and his body flew backwards.

Xu Yan, who came with Xiao Ran, did not take a moment to rest. He took out a silencer gun from the space, pointed the black muzzle at the crown prince and quickly pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of bullets strengthened by spells instantly made seven bloody holes in the crown prince's body.

After suffering a series of blows, the crown prince's face turned pale, but his body flipped in the air and a black umbrella appeared in his hand.

The umbrella opened, and suddenly a dazzling red light shone from the umbrella.

"The human-skin umbrella turns gently. Whose bones and blood have sewed this thing together? The dead souls under the umbrella are calling out..."

As the red light flashed, the surrounding space seemed to distort as well, as if being pulled into some kind of torture chamber. It was just such a trance-like moment.

When Xu Yan came to his senses, his body was unable to move. Countless threads as thin as hair pierced through his flesh and blood, hanging him in mid-air.

"Woooooooo..."

Xu Yan instinctively wanted to move his body, but what made him despair was that he couldn't use his body at all. What was even more strange was that when Xu Yan looked in other directions, he found that there were many people around him.

Men, women, old people, children.

When Xu Yan took a closer look, he saw these figures, also hanging in the air, but naked, floating in the air, as if...

"Human skin??"

Xu Yan's mind buzzed, as if he remembered something. In a park girl case that happened at the same time as the magician's self-immolation case not long ago, the victim's skin was completely peeled off. After that, the police searched for a long time but could not find any clues to the human skin.

Could it be that I am now trapped in human skin?

Xu Yan noticed that there was another propped-up human skin hanging upside down in the air like himself.

"Could it be Brother Xiao? He was also hit?" Just when Xu Yan felt something was wrong and was quickly thinking of a way to escape, he heard the voice of the crown prince coming from the front.

"There's a road to heaven but you don't take it, so you break into hell. You two bastards, you're so cruel. I almost got killed by you. Tell me, who are you? Why did you attack me?!"

At this time, a figure gradually became clear from the darkness, it was the crown prince.

This guy was treated with a combination of defense and attack by Xiao Ran, and Xu Yan seized the opportunity and fired a volley of bullets, leaving several bullet holes in his abdomen, chest, arms and thighs.

If an ordinary initiate had such an injury, he would have been lying on the ground unable to get up, but the crown prince seemed to be fine at the moment.

The crown prince held up an umbrella and stared at the two people in front of him with vicious eyes. He seemed to have guessed their thoughts and sneered, "Don't struggle. My human skin umbrella is a D-grade cursed item. As long as you are within the curse range of the umbrella, no one can escape."

D-level cursed item [Human skin umbrella·Shadow puppeteer]

Privilege 1: Human skin photography

After activation, the umbrella will cover an area of 30 square meters around itself, and all living beings will have their souls absorbed into the umbrella.

Duration: 5 seconds

Cooling time: 30 hours
(Note: When the soul is absorbed into the human skin umbrella, time will be greatly magnified. One second outside will reach one hour here.)
Privilege 2: Suspended Thread

You can damage the target by plucking the hanging wire.

If the target cannot bear such pain and begs for mercy, activate the passive privilege: "Soul Slave Mark!"

(Note: Be careful, the stronger the target's mental strength, the worse the effect.)
The Crown Prince stretched out his finger and gently plucked the hair-thin silk thread in the air, followed by a light hook of his finger on it.

There was a soft "bang!" sound, and then visible ripples appeared in the air and spread rapidly, followed by more and more silk threads resonating in the air.

"Buzzing..."

The resonance sound became louder and louder, spreading quickly to Xu Yan like a virus. For a moment, the threads running through his body began to tremble violently, and a pain that seemed to tear him apart came over him, causing Xu Yan to scream.

"You two, it's not too late to beg for mercy now, otherwise the trembling silver threads here will tear your souls apart completely. If your soul is torn apart, you will never be reborn, and your soul will be scattered."

Wang Chu narrowed his eyes and continued to pluck the silk thread in front of him as he spoke. The ripples in the air continued to tremble like waves.

Every time a ripple flashed by, Xu Yan felt as if he was being cut into pieces a thousand times.

But gradually, the crown prince began to feel something was wrong.

Why is there only one person screaming?

He glanced sideways at the other side, and the soul wrapped in human skin did not move at all. No matter how he plucked the silk thread, the bulging human skin did not make any sound, as if it was as indestructible as a piece of stone.

"How could this happen? Is this guy a telepath?" A telepath is a profession overseas that can only be obtained by devout believers. They have extremely strong mental power. Once they advance to a C-level bishop, they are almost the most difficult existence in the same profession. They are immune to any curse, can purify all negativity, and can also give themselves a holy shield. They are complete bastards.

The Crown Prince was not sure whether there was such a profession in China, but no matter how he pulled the strings, he could not shake the other party, which made the Crown Prince a little anxious.

The Human Skin Umbrella's privileges are very powerful, but it also has many disadvantages.

When the umbrella opens, the souls of all people within a thirty-meter square range will be sucked into the human-skin umbrella, including himself. Moreover, here, apart from moving the hanging wire to cause pain, he actually has no other means of attack.

If there is cooperation from teammates, they can take the opportunity to attack and severely damage the opponent's body from a long distance, but at this moment, his teammate is not around.

Just when the Crown Prince felt the situation was difficult, the human skin in front of him twisted slightly.

"Hey!! He moved. Was he just pretending?"

Seeing this, the Crown Prince's eyes lit up, and he immediately treated Xiao Ran as a key target. He stretched out his fingers, hooked up five hanging threads at once, and at the same time emitted a violent explosion towards Xiao Ran.

"Boom!!!"

Along with this sound explosion, the suspended threads in the air suddenly became violent and chaotic, like a chaotic storm that could tear everything apart, and the human skin where Xiao Ran was was instantly drawn into it.

"Brother Xiao!!!"

Xu Yan's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. Even a professionally trained master like him could not stand this kind of pain. Although Xiao Ran was a 3D-level beginner, he had never received professional training after all. Xu Yan was worried that he could not stand this kind of torture.

However, Xu Yan's idea was obviously unnecessary.

Xiao Ran remained motionless inside the human skin, and even though the raging storm was swirling around him, he remained as solid as a piece of stone.

Xiao Ran was trapped in human skin, but he did not panic.

The opponent's curse was very overbearing. The umbrella opened and he didn't even have the chance to resist before the curse took advantage of the privilege and was sucked into his skin.

This shows that the power of the other party's cursed object is very high, but Xiao Ran is not an ordinary beginner. He has seen countless cursed objects and knows very well that the more overbearing the cursed object is, the stronger its own defects are.

He simply used the soul-cultivation technique, which allowed Xiao Ran's soul to be completely unaffected by external forces. In fact, in this state, it became even more peaceful. This allowed him to observe the crown prince's every move with a cold eye, just like an outsider who saw something unusual.

The impatience shown by the Crown Prince and his lack of means have made Xiao Ran conclude that the other party's state is actually the same as theirs, both are in the soul state, but he just has a little more initiative than them.

"The end of the art is nothing but a sleight of hand."

The value of this sentence became more and more important in Xiao Ran's heart. After understanding the ins and outs of it, Xiao Ran had a way to deal with him.

The domineering thing about this thing is that in the soul state, most people have no ability to fight back and can only be slaughtered by the opponent.

Professionals don’t dare to say, but most of the beginners have lost their cursed objects and physical bodies, and are basically meat on the chopping board.

But the person he met happened to be Xiao Ran.

Without the blessing of physical attributes and the assistance of cursed objects, Xiao Ran still has the means to protect himself and even fight back.

Xiao Ran suddenly made seals with his hands.

A gloomy haze rippled in his soul, and then he crossed his hands and pushed hard at the crown prince in front of him.

"boom!!"

The knock on the door rang in his ears, causing the Crown Prince to tremble and his whole body stiffened involuntarily. Then his chest seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Zhou family secret technique, the King of Hell is knocking on the door.

In fact, this secret technique is not used to hurt people, but it can achieve the best effect when used in conjunction with other techniques.

However, although the effect is not that strong when used alone, it is still a dimensionality reduction attack against the crown prince who also has no physical body.

The Crown Prince was startled and looked up in disbelief.

"what have you done??"

As he said that, the crown prince immediately reached out to grab the surrounding hanging wires, but before he could pull, Xiao Ran followed with the second knock of the King of Hell.

"boom!"

In an instant, the Crown Prince felt a pain all over his body and felt as if his soul was about to be torn into pieces.

Xiao Ran knelt his hands again and bowed to the crown prince. It seemed like a simple action, but Xiao Ran's mental power was immediately guided out, bursting out with a powerful impact force, which hit the crown prince's soul hard.

When the two collided, the Crown Prince's soul immediately felt like it was about to be torn into pieces. In horror, he quickly raised the human skin umbrella in his hand, trying to cancel his privilege.

But how could Xiao Ran give the other party a chance? He grinned and sneered: "There is a road to heaven but you don't take it. There is no door to hell but you break in. You foolishly retreated from the protection of your body. Now it's too late to run!"

These were the words spoken by the crown prince just now, and now Xiao Ran returned them to him intactly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

Xiao Ran bowed three times in a row, and the crown prince only had time to let out a scream before his soul was instantly shattered into pieces, and was beaten to pieces by Xiao Ran...
