Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 560: The Land of Return
“Ding!! Ding ding!!”

The shrill sirens echoed over cities across the country and even the world.

Traffic during the morning rush hour suddenly came to a standstill. The delivery men on electric bikes all looked up, and a dark red reflection was flowing on their helmets.

In the clouds, a huge building that looked like a steel behemoth began to fall at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, everyone held their breath involuntarily.

The streets and roads were in chaos.

Screams, cries, the whole city, no, it should be said that the whole world was in chaos at this moment.

"Fuck, what is that? Family members, look quickly, have you seen it? You... eh?"

Xiao Wang, who was live streaming his delivery of takeaway food a second ago, raised his mobile phone, wanting everyone to see the picture above his head clearly, but at this time he found that the mobile phone signal was interrupted.

The wind was howling, and the whole world was instantly shrouded in haze.

"Rumble..."

A huge thunderclap struck, and a silver lightning tore a huge hole in the sky.

The doomsday-like scene made people feel despair in their hearts.

When the air raid sirens sounded for the third time, the fried dough sticks at the breakfast stall were fried into charcoal in the boiling oil.

An old lady wearing pajamas and buying soy milk suddenly screamed, her plastic slippers slipped on the spilled soy milk, and she fell into the fruit stand next door. Mangosteen and dragon fruit rolled into the motorway and were crushed into colorful pulp by the electric bikes going the other way.

At the subway station, those office workers in suits suddenly poured out from the turnstiles.

The girl wearing a JK skirt had her phone squeezed off her body, and the tempered glass film burst into a spider web under countless leather shoes.

Someone picked up his mobile phone and pointed it at the sky to capture the desperate scene.

Someone was shouting in despair amid the chaos.

The man, who had just finished a day's work, was lying in bed. He had not slept for long when he was awakened by the air raid alarm. He opened the curtains, but when he saw the huge monster falling from the sky above his head, he was stunned for a few seconds, then he closed the curtains and walked into the bedroom.

"What's going on outside? What's that noise?"

"Dad, it's so noisy!!"

Looking at his wife and child on the bed, the man thought for a moment, then walked over and hugged them: "It's okay, it's okay! Don't be afraid, nothing will happen as long as Dad is here!!"

"Rumble..."

Huge arcs of electricity struck the huge monster in the clouds, and then the monster suddenly exploded.

It broke into countless pieces and began to fall in all directions.

Outside the gate of the community.

An old man who was guarding the door saw the huge piece of debris from the group falling head-on. He covered his chest with his hands with a pale face. Even breathing became difficult. One hand kept groping in his pocket, as if he was looking for a quick-acting heart pill.

Next to him, a fat man in casual clothes did not notice the old man's situation.

But after seeing the huge monster falling from the sky, he was stunned for a few seconds, then looked down at the diet meal he had just bought in his hand, suddenly threw the diet meal on the ground, turned around and rushed into the supermarket next to him, grabbed the bottle of Coke on the shelf, and drank it down in one gulp.

At this moment, it doesn’t matter whether my blood sugar is high or not. Before I die, at least let myself enjoy a bowl of Fat Boy’s Happy Water. I haven’t drunk this stuff for a year.

However, as time passed, the two bottles of Fatty's happy water were finished, and the expected great destruction and explosion did not occur.

Instead, it gradually became quiet outside.

"belch!!"

Putting down the Coke, the fat man burped and looked outside the store in confusion.

Looking through the glass, the street outside was pitch black.

This made a moment of suspicion flash across his honest face, and then he stood up and walked towards the door step by step.

"call……"

A musty smell blew into the air, and a cool breeze blew in through the gap in his collar, making him shiver uncontrollably.

Looking up at the sky again, there was nothing but gray clouds.

The huge monster that just fell seemed like an illusion.

“Fuck!!”

Seeing this, the fat man was stunned for a few seconds, then looked down at the half bottle of Coke in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally threw the Coke away.

"Woooooooo..."

At this time, a cry was heard not far away. The fat man walked over to take a look and saw the security guard squatting on the ground.

“Uncle, uncle!!”

The fat man walked forward and tried to shout twice: "Uncle, we... are fine, don't cry, uncle?"

Having said this, the fat man reached out and patted the old man on the shoulder.

As soon as the fat man touched the old man's shoulder, his fingers suddenly felt numb as if they were inserted into frozen meat.

The old man's neck made a crisp crackling sound, his head turned 180 degrees, and his cloudy eyeballs turned into two balls of green fire.

"Young man"

The old man opened his mouth and a foul smell came out, and the skin on his face fell off: "Where is your access card!!"

"Oh my God!!"

The fat man's crotch was instantly wet. He shook his hand away and stepped back, but the soles of his shoes were stuck with the rotten flesh that had fallen from the old man's face, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

However, strange flesh buds began to grow on the old man's bloody face, and slowly a new face grew out. His eyes flashed with emerald green flames, and he stared at the fat man: "Boy, you stepped on my face!!"

The fat man's face changed and he turned and ran. However, just as he ran to the door of the convenience store in a panic.

The fat man's face was almost turning the color of liver. He supported his knees with his hands and gasped heavily.

“What the hell is this…ghost…whoosh whoosh whoosh…fuck…fuck you!”

At the same time as the fat man's words fell.

Suddenly, the fat man's body stiffened and he felt a chill sweeping through his body.

At the same time, a line of blood-red words began to appear in front of him. "Welcome to the maze city. You can leave the maze city area only after completing the main quest."

Main Mission 1: Find a stable job!
Mission: Please find a permanent job within 30 minutes.

Mission difficulty: E level.

Mission Reward: A professional spell, and your hourly wage will be determined based on your work rating!

Mission failed: Hehehehe...

"What the hell!!!"

The fat man looked at the bloody words in front of him, his head suddenly buzzed, but he soon thought of something: "Wait!! Lost City, I seem to have seen this post on the Internet, damn, is this true??"

But in a flash, the fat man's face turned strange again. Looking for a job? What kind of job could he find in the maze city?

Just when the fat man was feeling confused, the lights of the convenience store next to him suddenly flashed, and the originally blue and white sign turned blood red in an instant.

Even the name has become [Evil Devil Convenience Store].

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The cash register on the counter seemed to be twitching, opening and closing continuously, occasionally spitting out coins stained with blood.

At the same time, a blood-red recruitment advertisement appeared in front of the store.

Recruiting shop assistants: 1

Requirements: Help organize the containers and ensure that the goods in the containers do not run out of the store by themselves.

Note: If anyone wants to buy on credit, there is an axe in the drawer.

Remember, do not open the freezer in the back room!!!
If you hear someone calling your name in the freezer, please remain silent!!

……

Similar situations of fat people are happening in every corner of the world right now.

The expected big impact and explosion did not come. After the huge fragments of the mysterious city fell to the ground, they merged into this world like a ball of cotton candy touching water.

The area that was integrated into the fragments of the maze city was visibly covered by a hazy black curtain.

In a flash, more than a dozen huge black screens of various sizes appeared in the city. From a distance, it looked like huge black mushroom spores covering every corner of the city.

At this moment, people on the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain have no time to watch the beautiful sunrise. Instead, they look at the huge black curtain rising from the ground in front of them with shock on their faces.

Some of the dark areas are very small, just a small community, while others cover an entire village or even a town.

Xiao Ran looked at the maze city that was falling in front of him, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, turning back to look at the Golden Toad beside him.

"So... you knew long ago that the Lost City would fall today!"

"To be honest, I only sensed it after I left the evil ghost market." Jin Chanzi did not deny Xiao Ran's doubts: "But what would happen even if I said it out loud?"

"you!!"

Xiao Ran stared at Jin Chanzi, and for a moment he was like a deflated ball, and helplessly put his hands on the fence.

“Maybe the company could do a better job of prevention.”

"Prevention? Prevent what? What is there to prevent? This is an inevitable trend. It makes no sense for them to know it one day earlier or later."

Jin Chanzi's words left Xiao Ran speechless.

There is so little that can be done in one day.

Company! No, even if the entire state machinery was in operation, how much could be accomplished in a day? Besides, the place where the maze city fell was completely random and disordered.

Sometimes the more you do, the worse it is to do nothing.

"Don't worry, it's still early days, not all of the maze city has fallen. I believe most people will be able to slowly adapt as long as they put in some effort."

Jin Chanzi signaled Xiao Ran to relax.

Of course, what he said was not entirely correct. There were people who could adapt, but what about those who couldn’t?

Jin Chanzi didn't mention this, and Xiao Ran also tacitly didn't ask any further questions.

"Didn't you say you wanted to know about your parents' situation?"

Jin Chanzi jumped onto the fence and pointed at the maze city in the sky that had not yet completely fallen: "I'm going to take you for a walk today, don't blink!!"

The golden toad made a lion seal with his fingers and pulled Xiao Ran aside: "Let's go!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ran felt his body lighten and everything in front of his eyes suddenly moved away, as if his soul had left his body, but it didn't feel like that.

In just a moment, he and Jin Chanzi rushed into the maze city in the clouds.

Suddenly, the world before my eyes was intricately entangled with each other.

The golden toad's whole body was flashing with golden light, and it kept pulling Xiao Ran inside, after passing through countless worlds.

In Xiao Ran's sight, a man and a woman were sitting cross-legged under a bronze lamp, their bodies had long since turned into clay sculptures.

"Look at the lights!"

At Jin Chanzi's reminder, Xiao Ran shifted his gaze to the bronze lamp. When he saw the faces of the man and woman trapped in the fire, Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly became moist.

"Dad! Mom!"

"I was born as a ghost who had a hard time living for three lifetimes. My father was the wick and my mother was the oil. I stole my life to survive for a moment. Brother, your parents are using their own lives to light the fire of life for you."

Jin Chanzi sighed and placed one hand on his chest: "Wulian Tianzun."

Xiao Ran instinctively wanted to reach out his hand, but the next second, the scene in front of him quickly retreated. When Xiao Ran came to his senses, the person was still standing in the original place, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

Xiao Ran turned around and looked at Jin Chanzi.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not very experienced, so I can only show you this skill. But I do know this place, and I also know how to free your parents."

"Where!"

Jin Chanzi jumped off the fence, turned around and walked down the mountain, saying as he walked, "It's not a good place, it's in a direction called Guiji Land. If you're willing, we can go together, but I'll make it clear, this is a road of no return!!"
