Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 72 Do you still want to blackmail me? (First update)
On May 23rd, the weather was sunny.

"Zhang Lu, this bitch, this thief, stole my wallet!!"

As soon as I walked out of the bathroom, Shao Haiyan rushed towards me, calling my name.

Shao Haiyan's wallet was lost and I didn't take her wallet.

But Kuang Jianbo and his men blocked me in the alley and pressed my hair. It hurt so much!!

Yu Yang’s fist hit me.

I don't remember how many times I was hit.

During this time, Wang Meng passed by and I looked at him for help, but Kuang Jianbo kicked me in the stomach.

Wang Meng turned around and ran away...

I remember that day, when they pushed me into the stinking ditch, they laughed happily...

June 10, sunny
Li Jinju was saying again, I like to steal things, and the more I argued with her, the louder she got.

I ran out crying.

But when I came back, everyone looked at me as if I was a thief.

June 17, cloudy

Kuang Jianbo threatened me that if I didn’t get the lost money back, he would continue to beat me.

I told them I didn't take any money.

Kuang Jianbo and the others didn't believe it. No, they knew I didn't, because yesterday after school, I saw Shao Haiyan take out the lost wallet with my own eyes.

They know better than I do.

June 18, cloudy
I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to sue them.

But the woman surnamed Dong said that she would investigate, but it takes two to tango on this matter, so I should reflect on myself.

What do I reflect on?

It was not until later during the holidays when I saw her having dinner with Kuang Jianbo and his family in a restaurant that I realized they were relatives.

June 19, sunny
Kuang Jianbo blocked me in the alley...

It hurts!

It really hurts!!
June twenty.

...want to die

June 28, cloudy weather

Wang Meng was kicked down by Kuang Jianbo. Unable to bear it any longer, Wang Meng pushed Kuang Jianbo to the ground.

Kuang Jianbo's head was broken.

I hid behind and watched with great pleasure.

Later I saw that they seemed to be talking about something again. I wanted to leave, but I was curious.

So I followed them and saw that they knocked Wang Meng unconscious and then left.

I wanted to wake Wang Meng up.

Can……

He deserves to die!
Early July.

For some reason, there was no further news about Wang Meng.

Kuang Jianbo and Yu Yang are still in high spirits.

……Why?
Why don't they just die?

On September 5th, it rained.

I prepared a lot of things.

Six Molotov cocktails and a kitchen knife.

The fire was very big that day and Yu Yang never smiled again.

Shao Haiyan no longer likes to look in the mirror.

Li Jinju cried very sadly, but she would never use that big mouth to talk nonsense again. It turned out that Kuang Jianbo was also a person who would wet his pants. Not only would he wet his pants, but he would also kneel on the ground to admit his mistakes, but he was still so cunning. But I am sure that he will never have the chance to beat anyone again.

It was raining outside that day.

But it's very hot.

very hot.

it hurts...

The story in front of him, like a diary, began to appear in front of Xiao Ran in a flash. Every paragraph and every word was filled with despairing hatred.

Until the screen ends,

Xiao Ran couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. The tightness in his chest made him feel suffocated.

"So what exactly do you want me to do?"

Xiao Ran could feel that the souls surrounding him outside were asking him for help, wanting to be free, or in other words, to escape from here. It was not enough to just escape from the regeneration furnace. As long as Zhang Lu's hatred was not relieved, this matter would never be over.

[Kuang Jianbo, Kuang Jianbo, Kuang Jianbo...]

Kuang Jianbo's name appeared one after another in front of my eyes. As the instigator and the source of all resentment, this matter will only be over when he is found.

"But isn't this guy already dead?"

Just when Xiao Ran wanted to ask for more details, he heard Xu Pan's voice behind him.

“Come back! Come back! Come back!!”

As Xu Pan's voice became clearer and clearer, Xiao Ran immediately felt as if a hand was pulling him and he was falling rapidly.

Accompanied by a strong sense of weightlessness, Xiao Ran's body trembled violently. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Xu Pan and Nangua standing in front of him, looking at him curiously.

"you're awake??"

Xu Pan tried to put his hand in front of Xiao Ran and shook it a few times.

Xiao Ran blinked and raised his hand in confusion, only to see a red string tied around his finger, with the other end of the string attached to a paper figure.

Seeing that Xiao Ran had woken up, Xu Pan breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I thought you would never come back."

Xiao Ran looked at Nangua and Xu Pan in confusion. He remembered that when his soul left his body, he seemed to see that the two of them seemed to be ready to fight. Why was it different from what he expected?

“Is it an illusion??”

Xiao Ran shook his head and raised the red thread in his hand.

"Your soul just left your body, and I tried to pull you back, but you didn't move after several attempts. Fortunately, Sister Pumpkin let me try a few more times, and I finally pulled you back."

"Ms. Pumpkin??"

Xiao Ran turned around and looked at Pumpkin. Sure enough, Pumpkin took Xu Pan's arm affectionately and said, "Of course, we are good sisters who share weal and woe. Do you understand?"

"I don't know shit."

Xiao Ran shook his head, not knowing what happened after his soul was pulled up that caused the relationship between the two women to suddenly take a 180-degree turn.

But there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. No matter how I look at it, I feel that these two women have bad intentions.

Seeing the atmosphere getting more and more weird, Pumpkin seemed to be unable to pretend any longer and waved his hand to sweep away Xu Pan's arm: "Let me be frank, we can't get out."

Pumpkin pointed at the Regeneration Furnace and said, "There is a back door, but it is hidden under the furnace. To open it, one condition is to extinguish the Regeneration Furnace. Once the Regeneration Furnace is extinguished, the souls inside will rush out and tear us into pieces."

There were only a dozen souls in this campus originally, but in just a few years the number has grown to thousands. According to what Pumpkin said before, the surrounding wandering ghosts were absorbed in, but I'm afraid that's not the whole truth.

In fact, most of the souls were captured by Changchun Society from other places.

There are so many souls imprisoned in this place. Even if only a part of them bear a grudge, they will not be able to survive.

“So there is only one way, which is to collect all the wandering souls inside, extinguish them, and then build the furnace.”

When Xiao Ran heard what Pumpkin said, he immediately understood.

He nodded and took out the [Soul-Calling Banner]. This was the reason why Pumpkin was willing to let Xu Pan pull him back. If he was just a puppet, Pumpkin would not be able to get this thing.

When Pumpkin saw Xiao Ran take out the [Soul-Calling Banner], his eyes lit up, but at this time Xiao Ran took a step back and opened his arms towards Pumpkin.

"What??"

Pumpkin was startled, and when he saw Xiao Ran rubbing his index finger and thumb, his eyes widened immediately: "Are you crazy? You still want to blackmail me at this time???"
