Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 67 The exam begins (first update)
The sky is red and the ground is red too.

Even the walls were oozing with bright red blood.

Xiao Ran noticed at this time that Lady Bai and Lady Hong were shaking unconsciously, and even exuding emotions of fear.

The strength of these two night ghosts is definitely above level nine, and they can kill close combat masters like Bai Cai in seconds.

But now they are actually afraid.

"What's this!!"

Xu Pan also noticed the changes outside and began to feel a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"It's a ghost!" Donggua turned around, gently lifted his hair, and leaned against the wall: "Changchun made an agreement with her. After we took over the campus, every time we finished harvesting, we would let her out and kill everyone as a sacrifice."

"Crazy, crazy, you are really crazy!"

Xu Pan's face turned pale at this moment. She knew what this meant. Changchun would raise ghosts, real evil ghosts.

This kind of thing only appears in the depths of the mysterious city. If it appears here and runs away one day, I don’t know how many people will die.

Xiao Ran stood aside, gradually sorting out his thoughts.

The Changchun Society has transformed the campus and used it to continuously cultivate night ghosts. Leek and his gang thought this was a good place to get materials, but when the time comes to harvest, they will also become sacrifices here.

No wonder...

No wonder Pumpkin built a radio here to facilitate communication. No wonder she was so anxious to make a deal with me before. The beggar's eyes were fake. As long as my identity was exposed, she would probably find a way to kill me immediately and take back the iron nail in my hand.

But at that time, he just wanted to force Xu Pan to reveal his identity as an initiate through a transaction, but he didn't expect that this action made Pumpkin mistakenly believe that Xu Pan was himself, and the night ghost's riot tonight was all aimed at Xu Pan.

"Aren't you afraid? Mystery City has self-awareness. Sooner or later, the settings you modify will be noticed by Mystery City. At that time, Mystery City will adapt to your settings and make new changes!"

Xu Pan spoke up to remind him.

But in response to Xu Pan's reminder, Pumpkin said with disdain: "As long as the contract is still there, what can the mystery city do?"

At this moment, a bright red light suddenly appeared in front of the three people's eyes.

[Main Mission: Final Exam Begins]

Mission Description: During the final exam period, all students cannot leave school by any means, including completing side quests.

Mission requirements: Survive until dawn.

Task rewards: awarded based on exam performance, up to level A.

As the red light ended, figures began to emerge outside the playground.

Xiao Ran noticed at a glance that Teacher Dong, who was wearing a white dress, was also among them.

At this moment, Teacher Dong's expression was completely different from when he was teaching in the classroom before. A desperate hatred emanated from his whole body. As if he had noticed Xiao Ran's gaze, Teacher Dong turned his head suddenly.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!! You all deserve to die!"

Almost in an instant, Teacher Dong suddenly pressed his face against the window from five or six meters away. His eyes were full of madness. He kept cutting cuts on his body with a knife. His ferocious expression made him look like a madman.

However, the cut healed quickly without even a drop of blood.

But even so, Xiao Ran could clearly feel the kind of despair and malice that Teacher Dong could not let go of. Even though it was the knife that cut her body, Xiao Ran could feel the pain in her own flesh.

This is because there is a layer of glass blocking it, otherwise it would not be as simple as just hurting.

But Pumpkin said with a relaxed look; "Don't worry, this is a safe house, they can't hurt us."

At this point, Pumpkin squinted his eyes and moved his face closer to Xu Pan; "But if I throw you out... then it will be hard to say."

Xu Pan's face turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I still say the same thing. I won't give you the things until I am absolutely safe. If you don't believe me, throw me out now!"

Hearing Xu Pan's words, Pumpkin curled his lips and said, "It's a pity that I don't have a robber's path, otherwise I really don't want to talk to you."

"You, leave the body aside and come and help me!"

Xiao Ran didn't know what Xu Pan was going to do, so he put Zhao Jiuguang's body down and walked to Nangua. Nangua threw the body of the long-haired girl out of the space and then ordered Xiao Ran to dig up the body.

This task was simple. Xiao Ran easily tore a hole in the long-haired girl's chest.

Pumpkin then reached out his hand and began to search the long-haired woman's abdominal cavity, and soon he slowly pulled out a nail.

The nail looked exactly like the one Xiao Ran pulled out of the beggar. After Pumpkin pulled the nail out, he weighed it in his hand for a few times, thought for a while, and then looked at Xiao Ran. The malicious look in his eyes made Xiao Ran's heart skip a beat.

"It's an advantage for you."

As he said that, he quickly stabbed the iron nail towards Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran instinctively wanted to dodge, but when he thought of Hong Niangniang and Bai Niangniang watching him from behind, he could only force himself to stand still and let the nail pierce into his chest.

I saw that after the nail pierced into the body, it was directly buried inside the body.

At the same time, a feminine power quickly surged throughout Xiao Ran's body, and his originally weak body began to recover rapidly.

"You are affected by the special item [Spirit Seeding Nail], and your physical fitness is increased by 1 level!"

"You are affected by the special item [Spirit Seeding Nail], and your ghost sense is increased by 1 level!"

"You are affected by the special item [Spirit Seeding Nail], and your claws are upgraded by 1 level!"

"You are affected by the special item [Spirit Planting Nail], and your speed increases by 1 level!"

…………

……

A series of prompt sounds appeared in Xiao Ran's ears, and in a flash, his body suddenly grew a lot taller.

Not only was the body that was drained by the Eight Immortals replenished, but even the cut on the chest that was cut by the ronin was restored to its original state.

Xiao Ran raised his hand, and saw that the claws on his fingers had become thicker and bigger, and his whole body was flashing with blue flames.

"Ding! Your claws, physique, ghost perception, and speed have all reached level 10, and you have advanced to become a third-level night ghost, awakening special skills: [Evil Curse] (LV1)
After awakening, you can corrode an area. Within the corroded area, your overall attributes will be increased by 30%, and the corrosion effect on door and window defense will be enhanced."

"So this is how this thing is used!!"

Xiao Ran's eyes lit up, and he felt that he was in an incredibly strong condition at the moment, as if he had endless energy all over his body.

After carefully feeling the condition of his body, he realized that he had not only comprehended a new awakening skill, but also his other four basic attributes had been raised to level ten in one go.

This is just the effect of one nail, plus the one in my hand...

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Immediately afterwards, Pumpkin took out the iron nail that he had pulled out of the ronin's chest and walked to Zhao Jiuguang's body.

"Oh, I shouldn't have cut off your head."

Looking at Zhao Jiguang's corpse, Nangua couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She didn't have Xiao Ran's skill in sewing corpses. "Forget it, just use it. This thing must be buried in the corpse to keep it alive."

As Pumpkin said this, he was about to drive the nail into Zhao Jiuguang's body.

"boom!!"

But at this moment, there was a sudden tremor outside the door. The sudden sound startled the three of them at the same time. They looked up and heard a knock on the door.

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!!"

The knocks on the door became louder and more urgent.

Soon the whole door was shaking.

Pumpkin was stunned at first, then stood up carefully and looked at the door in front of him with shock.

After a while, the banging sound outside the door gradually died down. Pumpkin finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "I told you, this is a safe house, they can't get in."

Xiao Ran and Xu Pan were also still feeling a lingering fear.

After all, if something from outside came in, they would probably be doomed to die.

However, just when the three of them relaxed.

"Crack!"

The lights in the room suddenly went out.

The whole room was plunged into darkness. At this moment, Xu Pan suddenly sensed something. He slowly raised his head and looked out the window. He saw a dense mass of red eyes staring at them through the window...

　The second update will be around 3pm.
