Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 626 Notorious
After the group left the hospital, Zhao Hongzhong and the others noticed that the hospital nurses had also come out of the hospital gate with them.

Not only nurses, but also several patients in the hospital.

Among them were the great Emperor Wang Bo, the double-pupiled Ma Youfu, and that old fellow who called himself a saint.

After the three patients left the hospital, they also saw Xiao Ran and the others, and each of them had a different attitude towards Xiao Ran.

Wang Bo raised his head, looking indifferent to Xiao Ran and the others; even his bruised and swollen face couldn't hide his arrogance.

To be honest, although Wang Bo had fought with Xiao Ran many times, Xiao Ran didn't really have any ill intentions towards him.

As for the sage, he looked at Xiao Ran with disdain and kept his distance.

Xiao Ran walked up to Ma Youfu, took out a money bag and gave it to him, as a way of repaying Ma Youfu for the help he had given her.

If he hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't have known how long it would have taken to find the girl Qingyao.

"Go that way, you can take a bus to Bone Spirit Street. This money is enough for you to settle down for the time being."

Xiao Ran didn't give them much money, only about 200 ghost coins, which was enough for them to settle down in Bone Spirit Street. But Xiao Ran couldn't care less about what happened after that. However, he believed that these three talented people would not be buried in Bone Spirit Street.

"Good good."

Ma Youfu accepted the money with a smile, then said to the sage with a smug look, "See, I told you, someone would definitely give us money when we came out, and here it is."

"Humph!"

The sage pursed his lips and turned his head away.

"Young man, consider this money a loan from me. If I, Wang Bo, am able to recover in the future and return to the throne as the Great Emperor, I will repay it double."

After saying that, Wang Bo glanced at Zhao Hongzhong in the distance and said, "Kid, you carried me out of here. I'll remember this favor. Things will change. If you ever face difficulties in the future, I, Wang Bo, will definitely lend you a hand."

Zhao Hongzhong's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "Who needs you to write this down?"

But it wasn't good to argue with a madman, so he could only nod perfunctorily.

"Kid, don't be too happy yet. I think your luck has reached a turning point. Whether you can get through it or not is another matter."

At this moment, the sage spoke, his face cold as he addressed Xiao Ran.

Seeing Xiao Ran looking at him, the Sage met her gaze without any hesitation: "If you don't believe me, ask him." He then pointed at Ma Youfu.

Ma Youfu immediately covered his eyes: "I can't look, I can't look, or I'll go blind!"

He said he wouldn't look, but his eyes still peeked through his fingers at Xiao Ran. He nodded and said, "There is a hurdle, but it shouldn't be on you."

"Is it not a hurdle I'm facing?"

Just as Xiao Ran was about to ask for clarification, Ma Youfu suddenly convulsed and cried out, "Oh no, run! Run! The doctor is here!"

Without turning back, he ran away.

"Don't run around!"

Upon seeing this, the sage immediately took off after him. Wang Bo glared fiercely at Xiao Ran and said, "We'll settle our score later." After saying that, he also chased after her.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"Om..."

At this moment, the hospital doors slowly closed, and the lights inside the hospital dimmed.

At the same time, dark red characters appeared before Xiao Ran and the others.

"You have completed this trial in the labyrinth."

Overall rating: S
"In recognition of your outstanding performance in this labyrinth, your space has been increased by 20 meters, and you have been awarded a special reward of one Golden Fortune Note."

Whether it was because of his professional background or because the difficulty had increased since the city of the Lost City was launched, Xiao Ran found that the rewards this time were much higher than before.

The most direct manifestation of this is in the joss paper money given as rewards.

With these questions in mind, Xiao Ran inquired with Zhao Hongzhong and the others, only to find that they were also beaming with joy, and their rewards were quite generous.

On average, each person can obtain more than 100 ghost coins. In addition, there are cursed items and cursed runes, all of which are around level E.

This was an absolute windfall for these newbies. Xiao Ran was now completely confused about the reason.

Regardless of the reason, it was a good start for Zhao Hongzhong and his group.

"Boss, we're planning to head back."

Zhao Hongzhong and the others stepped forward to say goodbye and thank Xiao Ran.

"Without you this time, we don't know how long we would have to live, and even death would be a luxury."

At this point, their eyes immediately reddened.

If it weren't for Xiao Ran, they wouldn't have dared to imagine what would happen to them next.

Among those drug test subjects were several elderly people who had been tortured to the point of madness. Occasionally, some of them would be taken out still alive and kicking, but when they returned, they were practically unrecognizable as human beings.

In their despair, Zhao Hongzhong and others even considered suicide.

If it weren't for their nightly dreams, which offer them a brief respite, they would probably have collapsed long ago.

Having narrowly escaped death, Zhao Hongzhong felt a sense of fear, wondering if he was dreaming.

Only when they were told they could return to reality did Zhao Hongzhong and the others finally lower the sword of fear that lurked in their hearts.

Xiao Ran patted them on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the Changchun Association can't be kept secret for long. When you get back, you can contact the local company and tell them what happened. Although the company won't take any rash action against the Changchun Association for the time being, this debt will definitely be settled one day."

"Okay, we'll remember that."

Zhao Hongzhong and the others nodded, indicating that when they returned, they would not only inform the company about the matter, but also use all their resources in the real world to spread the word, and make sure that Changchun Club's days were not easy.

Xiao Ran didn't comment much on this. They had been trapped here for too long and probably didn't know that the outside world had changed. They would probably need some time to adjust when they got back.

"Boss, can I work for you from now on? I can endure hardship, and although I'm not very skilled, I can still help you out and do some odd jobs."

Zhao Hongzhong asked cautiously.

Xiao Ran had a good impression of Zhao Hongzhong; the guy was brave and responsible.

"No rush. Go back first, get some rest, and get used to the outside world. Once you're more or less used to it, if you'd like, try to go to Ruzhou City deep within the Mysterious City and find a place called the Amazing Pavilion. I can help you make arrangements then."

Xiao Ran encouraged Zhao Hongzhong and gave him a paper figure, saying that the people of the Amazing Pavilion would treat him with respect upon seeing the paper figure.

We can consider training Zhao Hongzhong to work in logistics.

After explaining everything, Zhao Hongzhong and the others also took their leave, eager to leave this place that gave them nightmares and made them afraid to return.

After Zhao Hongzhong and the others left, Xiao Ran and Jin Chanzi quickly left the hospital as well.

After all, the hospital was an important asset of the Changchun Association. This time, not only was the hospital destroyed, but the Changchun Association also lost three top experts: Li Wang, Nan Gua, and Qie Yu. Xiao Ran didn't even dare to imagine whether the mysterious major shareholder of the Changchun Association would collapse after learning the news.

But these are not things Xiao Ran should consider. The more unfortunate Changchun becomes, the more advantageous it will be for her.

He wished that this unlucky thing would be completely destroyed.

After the group left quickly, a few sneaky-looking guys soon arrived. They didn't dare to approach the hospital easily, and after lingering around the hospital for a while, they quickly left.

The news spread very quickly.

The entire Changchun Association was shaken. The hospital had been destroyed, a huge blow that left many in the Changchun Association in disbelief.

It's important to understand the importance of the hospital industry; for Changchun, this is tantamount to having its roots severed.

Destroying the hospital also means that the Changchun Society will lose a huge benefit: various precious medicines that are almost impossible to buy outside.

Externally, Changchun Association lost a huge source of revenue.

This has damaged the very foundation upon which the Changchun Association stands.

More importantly, Pumpkin and Li Wang have both gone missing. These two were top-tier combatants that Changchun had spent countless resources to cultivate.

In addition, there is an unconfirmed rumor circulating within the Changchun Society that the Jade Stealer has also run into trouble. Although the Jade Stealer's physical body is currently fine, it has fallen into a dormant state, as if it has lost its soul.

Rumors suggest that the Jade Thief may have also fallen victim to this, as the clay shrine that the Jade Thief cultivated to create a great evil spirit has already cracked.

However, this news has not been confirmed, and no one can say for sure.

Upon learning the news, the major shareholder apparently fainted from anger. He reportedly woke up once and managed to say a few words, instructing the Changchun branch to suspend all activities before fainting again and has not woken up since.

The entire Changchun city is now in a state of panic.

Some people are even planning to take this opportunity to completely sever ties with Changchun.

At the same time, Penglai Tower and Donglongfang also received the news. While feeling shocked, they were also gloating over Changchun Club's misfortune and were even prepared to kick them while they were down.

So, almost the very next day, with the help of certain people, the outrageous things that Changchun had done at the hospital were reported in the Bone Spirit Street newspaper. This news enraged many newcomers who saw it.

At first, some people didn't believe it, but soon, test subjects who had narrowly escaped death in the Changchun Society came forward to testify, and the Changchun Society's reputation was completely ruined...
