Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 59: Eight Immortals Celebrating Birthday
"Dang Dang Dang Dang!!!"

I just heard a sound like a gong in the distance.

"Ah ha ha ha ha..."

Then, as Lang Lang laughed loudly, Xiao Ran's eyes became misty and his body suddenly stood still.

"Swish..."

Seeing that he suddenly stopped moving, the insects behind his butt immediately swarmed over and pounced on him.

But at this moment, Xiao Ran turned around on the spot, looking half drunk and half awake. Although he could not speak, a ferocious shadow appeared behind him. The shadow's belly split open and let out a weird laugh.

Facing the insects that were flying towards him, he waved the big fan in his hand towards Xiao Ran's back.

Xiao Ran's body trembled a few times, and he felt a cold air rising up from his abdomen uncontrollably. He opened his mouth and let out a loud burp like a toad.

"Gah!!"

The sound was muffled like a broken drum, muffled yet surprisingly loud.

The insects that had originally pounced on him, upon hearing the sound, suddenly scattered in an instant as if they sensed their natural enemy.

“Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, the little bug squeaks and pretends to be a tiger, but the roar of the golden toad lacks the power of a tiger, hahahaha!!”

The fat man behind Xiao Ran not only looked weird and evil, but his laughter also seemed to be demonic. Seeing the swarm of insects disperse, he grinned at Xiao Ran and slapped him on the head with a fan.

This slap was like a sudden blow to Xiao Ran's body. The pain made him feel dizzy. He opened his mouth instinctively and a chill came out of his chest.

"puff!!"

Suddenly, the temperature around dropped sharply, and the insects crawling around on the ground lost their power instantly. They struggled on the ground for a few times and then stopped moving.

Not only that, the dirty blood that Xiao Ran vomited out also drifted away.

Soon, black smoke began to rise from the ground where the blood was stained.

Then everything flashed before my eyes, and the maple forest and the swarm of insects disappeared, leaving only myself standing in the corridor.

He squinted his eyes as if he was half awake and half drunk, and saw the woman holding the red umbrella, who was throwing the umbrella on the ground with a look of annoyance on her face.

The originally smooth umbrella surface was now covered with many densely packed traces of blood.

If it were any other time, if Xiao Ran could come out of the illusion, he would definitely not dare to stay any longer, but now his consciousness was hazy and all he could hear was the fat man's laughter and singing.

All I heard was the fat man waving his fan and singing in a very sad voice: "A cloud of good fortune floats in the blue sky, the rosy clouds are brilliant and the scenery is beautiful..."

This is a birthday song.

The opening song of the Peking Opera where the Eight Immortals celebrate birthdays.

It was originally a good song, but the melody suddenly changed when it came out of the fat man's mouth.

There was a strong sense of resentment and hatred mixed in it, and it sounded more like a curse than a birthday wish.

The woman seemed to sense something as well. A cold light flashed in her eyes. She pulled out a chrysanthemum from her sleeve, held it in her hand and blew it towards Xiao Ran.

The petals are scattered.

Xiao Ran immediately smelled a fragrance, and then the woman's eyes flashed a few times. She pinched her fingers, and a doll appeared in her hand. She pulled the doll's arm.

The next second, Xiao Ran raised his left hand unconsciously and raised it above his head following the doll's movements.

The fat man behind him saw this and his smile widened.

He stretched out his big hand and rubbed his armpits for a few times, and a big black ball appeared in his hand.

The meatball was as big as an adult's fist and gave off an indescribable smell. Xiao Ran was already in a daze, and at this moment he was startled, his stomach suddenly churning.

You know, even when facing those highly decomposed corpses, Xiao Ran can remain very calm. If conditions permit, he can even sit aside and have breakfast or something.

But now I am so irritated by the smell that I can't even open my eyes. You can imagine how strong the smell is.

What is even more unbearable to look at is that there is actually a hair stuck on this black ball?

Just when Xiao Ran was about to be awakened by the stench, the fat man raised his hand and slapped the ball onto Xiao Ran's back.

With a "pop" sound, the round thing became flat, and the ball turned into a plaster.

Xiao Ran felt a heat on his back, and then blue flames began to appear all over his body, as if he was about to burn.

"what!"

The woman's face changed, and the doll in her hand instantly emitted black smoke. A wisp of blue flame came out of the doll, catching the woman off guard and her slender fingers immediately ignited. The woman trembled all over from the burning pain, and spit out a ball of green liquid before she put out the flame on her hand.

The woman danced in anger, her resentment growing stronger and stronger.

But at this time, the fat man behind Xiao Ran laughed even more happily and kicked Xiao Ran on the knee. Xiao Ran knelt forward with his legs, and heard the fat man singing: "Presenting birthday peaches..."

"This peach tree has been in bloom for three thousand years, and the Ganoderma lucidum has been growing for eight hundred years.

The wealth and honor of this life are the result of cultivation in the previous life, and the hatred of the evil fate is the same today!!!"

"One bow will bring you a thousand years of blessings, and the cause and effect are revealed on the peach blossom branches."

Xiao Ran was pressed down by the fat man's slap, and he immediately felt as if something in his body was sucked away. The flames that were originally rushing up on his body were extinguished in an instant.

But at this moment, the woman found that her limbs suddenly froze in place, and dense bumps began to grow on her body. Some of the bumps were as big as a baby's fist, and some were as small as longan. She was all over her head to toe.

"One more bow! Two days of salary, the reward for every day of past lives."

Xiao Ran was suppressed again.

This time Xiao Ran even felt a little cold all over. As a night ghost, he actually felt cold from the bottom of his heart.

The situation of the woman on the other side was not much better.

After this bow, the woman's densely packed bulges all over her body began to swell up like rising dough.

The lumps of flesh on his body swelled to the point of turning red and purple.

Even the woman's mouth was filled with lumps. She fell to the ground in pain, pinching her throat with both hands and struggling in agony.

The fat man's face became more and more excited when he saw this. His huge mouth on his belly opened and a black tongue covered with mucus came out.

He pressed Xiao Ran's neck and was about to bow down to the third person.

But at this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly supported the ground with both hands, turned his head with trembling body, and the blue flames in his eyes flickered.

"untie!"

As Xiao Ran shouted in his heart almost like a roar, the dark red curse pattern quickly returned from the snuff bottle back into his body.

I felt that Xiao Ran had already untied the ties between the snuff bottle and the curse pattern.

The fat man was stunned for a moment, squinting his eyes and looking at Xiao Ran for a while, then he looked in the direction of the woman in front of him with a bit of reluctance, and sang the last sentence of the song helplessly as he slowly backed away.

"The last bow is for longevity. The only grudge I have today is a bowl of beheading wine..."

As the fat man's voice gradually faded away, Xiao Ran's arm slipped and he almost fell to the ground.

My goodness, this thing is far more weird than he thought. At first he thought that the fat guy was helping him, but gradually he realized that something was wrong.

Especially the last three bows, every time Xiao Ran bowed, he felt as if his body was hollowed out.

After the second bow, he felt that not only was his whole body cold, but he also couldn't even muster any strength. It felt as if the marrow in every bone was empty.

To put it bluntly, this guy came to help, but he used himself as a sacrifice for the spell and cooked for himself.

If I hadn't woken up in time and made the last bow, the night ghost in front of me would have turned into a big peach to satisfy his appetite, and I would have been squeezed into tofu dregs.

Xiao Ran opened his mouth wide and felt a strong sense of dizziness, making him feel nauseous and want to vomit.

He immediately took out two talismans of strength and body from the space and crushed them.

[Obtain the Talisman of Strength, Strength +1] [Obtain the Talisman of Strength, Strength +1]

[Obtain the Talisman of the Body, Strength +1] [Obtain the Talisman of the Body, Strength +1]

Following the prompt, Xiao Ran's body, which had been drained of energy, gradually recovered. Although the blessing of the talisman was only temporary, it helped Xiao Ran regain some strength.

It just felt like someone hit my head with a brick and it hurt so much.

If he had a choice, Xiao Ran would just want to go back to the dormitory immediately, find a place to lie down comfortably and have a good sleep.

When I looked up, I saw the red umbrella ghost still lying on the ground.

The bumps on his body had not yet subsided, and his joints felt like risen dough. He fell to the ground and couldn't move.

Xiao Ran curled her lips: "What are you doing here?"

As he said that, he took out his big black machete and chopped off the woman's head...
