Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 71: Soul Vortex (Fifth Update)

The sharp whistle made Xiao Ran's body stiffen in place. His soul seemed to float up from the top of his head, and appeared above his head from his sight. Only a little consciousness remained in his body.

It's like you're about to roll off the bed, trying to maintain your balance by hooking your toes on the bed, in a state where you're about to fall off the bed but don't fall.

Xiao Ran can now feel his body, and is even quite conscious, but the problem is that his limbs are unable to move.

Xiao Ran was now a little panicked. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he quickly thought of various possible solutions in his mind.

It wasn't until the corner of his eye suddenly noticed the beggar that he had thrown out but hadn't activated yet that an idea suddenly came to his mind...

Seeing that the three people were motionless, the tumor ghost immediately crawled forward happily.

He stared at the three people, then glanced at the twins, Red and White, who were following behind him. Suddenly, with an unhappy look on his face, he slapped the twins and sent them flying to the ground.

The smell on the twins was extremely disgusting.

Then he began to sniff Pumpkin vigorously, and put one hand into Pumpkin's clothes. After a while, he turned his head to look at Xu Pan beside him, with a smile on his face becoming happier and happier.

After sticking out his slender tongue and licking Pumpkin's neck at the corner of his lips, he turned around and pounced in front of Xu Pan again. But when he lowered his head and saw Xu Pan's flat chest, his face suddenly showed some disgust, but he still pursed his lips and kissed Xu Pan hard on the face.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Xiao Ran.

Just like its attitude towards the twins just now, the tumor ghost seemed to be able to tell the difference between living people and night ghosts. In addition, Xiao Ran was still a skeleton, which did not conform to its aesthetic taste in any way.

He walked in front of Xiao Ran and glanced at the beggar lying at Xiao Ran's feet.

He immediately kicked the beggar into the pile of corpses nearby and began to examine Xiao Ran.

But as the tumor ghost examined carefully, his eyes became more and more fiery, and he would raise his nose and sniff Xiao Ran from time to time.

Saliva began to drip from the corners of his mouth.

However, the tumor ghost obviously did not notice that the beggar who was kicked away by him opened his eyes at some point, stared at Xiao Ran with his empty eyes, and silently recited Xiao Ran's name.

As the beggar called out, his eyes became brighter and brighter, until his empty eyes gradually became sharp, and he stared straight at the back of the tumor ghost.

After looking around, he noticed that there was an iron hook next to him that the principal usually used to hook corpses.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he silently reached out and quietly grasped the iron hook in his hand.

At this moment, the tumor ghost was only looking at Xiao Ran's body. It had a strong feeling that there seemed to be something special in this body. The energy in this thing was more important than the soul it absorbed.

Just as the tumor ghost was sticking out his tongue and thinking about where to bite, a sharp sound of breaking wind was heard behind him. The beggar suddenly jumped up, waving the iron hook in his hand and stabbed it hard into the tumor on the tumor on the back of the tumor ghost.

"puff!!!"

Bend the hook head and pierce the skin and flesh outside the tumor directly, hooking a big hole deep in the tumor.

"Ouch!" The tumor ghost howled in pain and anger. The unexpected attack caused its body to twist and deform. It swung its body desperately, trying to throw away the iron hook and the beggar behind it.

This swing did not send the beggar flying. Instead, the beggar took advantage of the huge inertia and pulled hard.

"Stab!!"

With a loud pain as the flesh was torn apart, a meter-long gash was torn out in the original hole.

In an instant, all the souls that had been devoured by the tumor ghost rushed out.

"Oh!!"

The tumor ghost screamed and waved his hands desperately to catch the souls that had escaped. However, there were too many souls and they were still pouring out. Seeing this, the tumor ghost immediately spread his limbs again and wanted to blow the whistle on his chest.

But at this time, the beggar behind him had already jumped off his back, slid sideways and stood in front of the tumor ghost, and hit the flesh whistle on the tumor ghost's chest with the iron hook.

With a "bang", the hook knocked a hole directly on it.

The tumor ghost's screams became even more shrill, and the originally sharp whistle suddenly became silent. Seeing this, the tumor ghost's eyes almost burst into fire, and he slapped the beggar on the head, directly knocking the beggar away. When his body hit the wall behind him, there was a sound of bones breaking. At the same time as the beggar smashed the flesh whistle on the tumor ghost's chest, Pumpkin and Xu Pan beside him were also pulled back into their flesh bodies at the moment the whistle broke.

The two women were in a similar state to Xiao Ran just now. Naturally, they could only watch helplessly as the tumor ghost took advantage of them. Now that their souls had returned to their places, fire was gushing out of their eyes.

"Kill him for me!!"

Pumpkin's eyes turned red when he thought of the scene where the tumor ghost put his hand into his clothes.

He directed the Red and White Lady behind him, while Xu Pan raised his scissors. The scissors separated and became two oversized machetes, chopping towards the tumor ghost.

The Red and White Goddesses were not to be outdone. Their erratic figures kept flashing alternately in front of the tumor ghost, turning the surrounding space into black and white. In the black and white, a faint shadow gradually became clear, and it reached out and grabbed the tumor ghost on the forehead.

"puff!!"

The moment Shadow's hand grabbed the tumor ghost's head, the tumor ghost's facial features began to twitch uncontrollably.

Until Xu Pan pointed his big scissors at the tumor ghost's head and cut it with a click.

With a "plop", the tumor ghost's head fell down, and then Pumpkin kicked it, kicking the tumor ghost's head directly into the stove beside it.

After dealing with the tumor ghost, Xu Pan and Nangua both breathed a sigh of relief.

Countless souls emerged from the corpse of the tumor ghost on the ground. They neither returned to the regeneration furnace nor left the room. Instead, they hovered above the regeneration furnace, forming a light blue vortex.

Seeing this, Xu Pan and Nangua didn't understand what these souls were going to do. But at this time Nangua glanced at Xiao Ran who was still motionless, and an idea moved him. He silently took out the bell and tried to shake it.

Xiao Ran's physical body heard the bell sound, quickly raised his head, and pointed the black machete in his hand at Xu Pan.

At the same time, Lady Red and White quickly returned to Pumpkin and protected her firmly behind her.

"Pumpkin, this is meaningless. He is just a soul that has left his body. It is not him. You may have become a bedridden lady with a tumor. Isn't your Changchun Society the most concerned with worldly affairs and the moral code of the underworld? Is this what you call worldly affairs and the moral code of the underworld?"

Facing Xu Pan's questioning, Nangua curled his lips; "Are you crazy? Jianghu ethics? He has the Changchun Society's things in his hand. Isn't it too much for me to talk about Jianghu ethics?"

After saying that, Pumpkin continued; "Besides, two [Spirit Seeding Nails] have already been inserted. Can you guarantee that he won't insert a third one? This thing is used to cultivate super-level night ghosts. Once the third one is inserted, he will be more terrifying than a ghost. I must take this thing back, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself when I return to Changchun."

It doesn't matter if the school is destroyed, but this [spiritual nail] is something that Changchun Guild spent a lot of money to make, and it has been almost cultivated. What if I don't even take this thing back?

Would she dare to return to Changchun?
Even my own teacher can't protect me.

"What if I don't allow you to take him away?" Xu Pan raised the scissors and stared at Pumpkin coldly.

"You are from the company, and we have always kept to ourselves. I know there must be people from the special attack team monitoring the mystery city, so I don't want to embarrass you. But if you insist on stopping me, don't forget that my professional psychic is one level higher than yours, and I am also the nemesis of your blood fusion path!"

Pumpkin looked at Xu Pan with a cold face.

Seeing this, Xu Pan simply raised his scissors and crossed them together: "Then you try and see if I can keep you here even if I risk my life."

Just as the two women were in a stalemate, at the same time Xiao Ran's soul floated out of the beggar's body.

Because the beggar himself was a corpse that had been stitched together by Xiao Ran, his body was just a puppet and he didn't have a real soul. The tumor ghost's ability had little effect on him. Xiao Ran relied on the weak connection between body and soul to activate the ability of clustering, and then used the beggar's soul-calling ability to parasitize his own soul on the beggar's body.

After all, beggars are just puppets, and their fighting power is limited. Xiao Ran must ensure that he has a chance of success only if he does it himself.

At this moment, the beggar's body was blown up by the tumor ghost's head, and his soul could no longer parasitize on the beggar's body.

But at this time Xiao Ran found that he could not return to his body. Instead, he slowly rose up along with the huge soul vortex above his head, and soon his soul was sucked into the center of the vortex.

A pair of gentle hands lifted Xiao Ran up from his back, and then a dazzling white light flashed in front of Xiao Ran, and the whole story of the school began to be clearly displayed in front of Xiao Ran...
