Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 78 Even the Buddha's face is not enough
"Kuang Jianbo!"

Xiao Ran looked at Kuang Jianbo and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"Why is this guy in the women's bathhouse??"

As if sensing Xiao Ran's doubts, Kuang Jianbo stuck out his tongue and said, "You didn't expect that, did you? Brother Doujiao told me early in the morning to hide in the men's bathhouse during normal times, but to hide in the women's bathhouse at night."

"Beans!"

The corners of Xiao Ran's mouth twitched a few times. This guy really calculated people's hearts to the core.

Yes, everyone would instinctively not think of the women's bathhouse, especially the girls, who would subconsciously feel that people would never hide in places they are familiar with.

But Doujiao thought of it.

Since Doujiao had thought of this level early on, perhaps from the very beginning, as Xu Pan said, Doujiao must have left flaws somewhere.

For example, his coffin that can transform into a night ghost.

After all, the Night Ghost was created by the Changchun Society, and this coffin would not have appeared out of nowhere. Perhaps Doujiao had made all the arrangements early in the morning.

Even the old lady who manages the dormitory might be Doujiao's spy arranged in advance.

Of course, the above are all Xiao Ran’s own speculations based on the worst-case scenario. After all, the old lady was not bad to him.

"what!!"

At this time, the screams in the bathhouse opposite became more and more shrill.

Kuang Jianbo on the side chuckled: "The men's bathhouse is full of talismans that my father got from the temple. Except for me, any ghost who goes in will be doomed. I'm afraid she can't even be a ghost. She will wait for her soul to fly away and never reincarnate."

Hearing Kuang Jianbo's words, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel angry. If he had known how to speak, he would have started swearing.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Oh, you are not Wang Meng, but you are wearing Wang Meng's name tag, so you should have some empathy. Don't forget, Wang Meng was pushed down the stairs by her to frame me. She has harmed me to such an extent that I can't even be reincarnated after death. Now I want her to be reduced to ashes, isn't that too much?"

Kuang Jianbo turned around and looked at Jiucai: "Brother, don't you think this is the truth?"

Jiucai was speechless for a moment. He didn't know the whole story, but if he just listened to Kuang Jianbo's words, it did... make some sense.

After all, if anyone harms me, I will make him die without a burial place.

However, Xiao Ran's eyes were almost filled with anger, as he had long seen this guy's ability to confuse right and wrong.

If I hadn't seen the truth in the soul vortex and knew what kind of person he was, I would have almost believed it.

"Hey, I know you blame me, but is this my fault? Teacher Dong and my family are actually relatives, can't she help me a little? Do you know how much money the principal took from my family? They say that everyone is equal, bullshit, sometimes things that are born unfair are destined to be unequal. It's her fault. She doesn't know how to appreciate it.

So what if I become a ghost?
When she turns to ashes, my karma will be wiped out. Then I can ask my father to donate some money to poor areas in my name. As long as everyone remembers my good deeds, I can go home and become a guardian deity. I will be worshipped with incense and offerings every day. Then..."

"boom!!"

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Ran's fist had already fallen.

But when the fist was about to strike down, it was blocked by a layer of light.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran didn't believe it and continued to grab him with his sharp claws, even using evil curses and ghost language, but Kuang Jianbo was not hurt at all.

Kuang Jianbo was stunned for a moment, but soon relaxed: "Brother, don't waste your energy. Brother Doujiao said that with this sign on my head, no one can hurt me."

At this time Jiucai came over, patted Xiao Ran, and pointed upwards.

Xiao Ran raised her head and noticed that there was a sign hanging above Kuang Jianbo's head with the words "Free of War" written on it.

"Don't waste your energy, that's a sign of exemption from war, it's the sign of exemption from war from the man in charge of gold. Once it's hung up, you won't have to fight, and no one can beat him. It's a bloody investment." Jiucai looked at the sign and couldn't help but sigh.

It is just as Kuang Jianbo said, comparing yourself to others will make you feel dreadful. I never expected that I am even worse than this little brat Kuang Jianbo.

Xiao Ran turned his head to look at Jiucai, remembered something, and took out Pumpkin's book [Beginner's Path Basics] and started to read it.

The so-called gold-holder was soon found.

Shopkeeper, credit, pawnshop, money manager.

The gold-wielding man is actually a C-level profession.

At this level, it is basically very difficult to kill him. The person who controls the money often controls all the capital flows in a region and holds the cash flow in his hands. Even if the wealth is not his, it just passes through his hands, and he can make more money by borrowing money, and his hands are full of oil.

As long as the money is kept in hand, it is very easy for the gold man to do anything. He just needs to spend money.

Xiao Ranzhi pointed to the content about gold in the book, and then pointed to the exemption from war sign.

Seeing this, Jiucai explained, "This thing is also called the face of the gold holder. It is immune to all attacks. The price is that every time you attack, the gold holder's pocket will have a little less money. Unless you can make the gold holder bankrupt, you really can't hurt him."

Xiao Ran's mouth twitched a few times when he heard that.

At this time, in the bathhouse on the other side, Zhang Lu's screams gradually began to weaken. Xiao Ran walked out quickly and rushed into the men's bathhouse to take a look.

As soon as I entered, I felt pain all over my body as if it was on fire. I didn't know when many golden talismans appeared on the walls around me, and I could vaguely hear the sound of chanting from far away.

Jiucai also walked in. He was not affected. He just watched Zhang Lu being trapped inside and had no ability to save her.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran tried to take the talisman off the wall, but when his hand touched the talisman, it went right through him. Not only did he fail to remove the talisman, but his palm was burned.

Leek also tried it, with the same result. "There's nothing I can do."

Jiucai sighed and patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder. Although they were very unhappy with Kuang Jianbo's smug look, they could only watch at this point.

Xiao Ran's face turned dark and he turned back.

Back in the women's bathhouse, he stared at Kuang Jianbo. Although he knew Xiao Ran couldn't hurt him, he still felt a little scared when Xiao Ran stared at him like that: "What are you going to do?"

"doing what?"

Xiao Ran took a deep breath and took out the [Soul-Calling Banner]. Suddenly, the long white banner fluttered in the air and the temperature in the entire shower room dropped to freezing point.

"What do you mean by the face of the golden man? Even the face of Tathagata Buddha is not enough today."

Xiao Ran roared wildly in his heart, grabbed the [Soul-Calling Banner] with both hands and pulled hard.

"tear……"

As the sharp claws pulled hard on the white flag.

Suddenly, countless shadows emerged from inside.

Xiao Ran looked at these shadows and pointed at Kuang Jianbo in front of him: "Don't you have hatred and resentment? The instigator is right in front of you, what are you still standing there for? Come out and start working!"

Xiao Ran couldn't speak, but his emotions were revealed. Suddenly, the entire wall of the women's bathroom was crushed by the dark ghosts.

Countless black shadows rushed forward, hitting and scratching Kuang Jianbo frantically like zombies in a TV show.

At the same time, the door of Fusheng Money House on the east side of Guling Street was wide open, with three particularly fancy money lanterns hanging at the door.

At this moment on the second floor, the sound of abacus clacking could be heard continuously.

The two boys downstairs were holding a calculator in one hand and an account book in the other, constantly calculating today's income and expenditure records.

Every time he settled an account book, he would reach out and knock on the bell on the table, and then report today's accounts.

The two boys were calculating enthusiastically when they heard the sound of a teacup falling to the ground upstairs, followed by an angry voice.

"Damn it, what is Changchun Club doing???"

After a while, we heard the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs. An old man walked down the stairs, cursing as he walked: "My money, my money, send a telegram to the Changchun Society, no matter what they are doing, stop it immediately."

The two boys did not move and continued to calculate the accounts. However, when they reported the same accounts again, the amount was already a full three thousand ghost money less in profit than the previous round.

The old man was so angry that his mouth almost twisted.

It's only been a short time, and another 3,000 is missing? ? ? Hasn't the Changchun Association's land reclamation started yet? How come the money is being spent so quickly? ? ?
At this moment, a middle-aged man had sent a telegram, but there was no reply yet.

"Da da da da..."

The two boys at the counter were typing away on the calculator with their fingers as fast as lightning, making crisp sounds.

"Ding Ding!!"

When the bill was presented again, the profit was nearly four thousand yuan less than before.

The old man's face turned green.

If this continues, not only will we not make any profit this quarter, we may even lose money.

It's not that he can't afford to pay the compensation, but he started losing money in a daze. It's not just one or two hundred dollars, but two or three thousand dollars. Even if the money was spilled in the river, there should be a sound.

The most important thing is that if the Changchun Association wants to move the money, it must be discussed and signed by the president and others. He didn't receive any news from his side, and lost a quarter's profit in a daze. He doesn't dare to take the blame for this.

It must be reported immediately.

"Ding Ding!!"

However, as the bell on the counter rang again, the two boys began to report their losses with red eyes.

After hearing the loss figures, the old man felt like his butt was on fire and he could no longer sit still.

"Stop trading, stop trading immediately. I don't care what Changchun will do, remove all the exemption cards immediately!"

After the old man finished speaking, the servants around him immediately started to work. If they wanted to suspend trading, it would not be just a matter of the old man's words. There were many, many troublesome procedures to go through.

Each bank can only suspend trading twice in four quarters.

Once it exceeds twice, the lantern must be taken down.

If it happens more than three times, the sign will be removed.

By then, the level of money houses will be downgraded, and there may even be bank runs, bankruptcies, or even riots.

As for the boss, let alone whether he can keep his position as the head of finance, he might even die without knowing how if he is not careful.

But at this time the old man could no longer care about so much.

The money is being lost too fast. This is a small bank, which cannot compare with large-scale banks like Longdong and Penglai. The maximum profit for a quarter is just that much. If the losses continue, the bank will be finished.
