Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 91: Top-notch ingredients (Fifth update)
Huang Le was eating with gusto, but Xiao Ran was squatting in front of the old man's stall, watching the old man swinging the tortoise shell in his hand, and he was reluctant to throw out the copper coins inside. He asked helplessly, "Uncle, is this possible?"

"Row!"

The old man's eyes widened: "Of course it will work. Look at my sign, Sun Banxian. If it doesn't work, you can smash my stall."

After the old man finished speaking, he recited a few more sentences in a mysterious voice, then he threw the coins with force, and three copper coins rolled out, standing straight on the ground.

Seeing the copper coin standing upright, the old man's mouth twitched a few times. This was the third time that happened: "This... is a ghost."

The old man raised his head and looked at Xiao Ran for a while. In the end, he couldn't see anything. He stood up angrily, pulled up the pole behind him, and threw it into the space: "Go, go, go, it's time to close the stall!"

"what??"

Xiao Ran stood up and stopped the old man; "Are you just leaving like this?"

"I can't figure it out. I give up. You can smash it as you like."

The old man pointed to the rags and a few bricks on the ground, waved his hand, and left without looking back.

But before he took a few steps, he turned back and glanced at Xiao Ran: "You'd better find a capable person to take a good look at you. The three times of divining have failed to show any result, which means there is a big problem with your fate."

"How big of a problem?"

"Very big. I am an E-level mathematician after all, and I have never heard of such a situation. If you don't solve this problem, I think your death is not far away!"

It turned out that when Xiao Ran was walking by, he saw this old man. Thinking about the three little men on horseback on his back, Xiao Ran wanted to ask for his advice, but the old man had never heard of any little men.

So I just told Xiao Ran his fortune.

As a result, I cast the divination for three times in a row, and the coin turned upside down three times. I have never seen such a situation in my life.

The old man's last words to Xiao Ran were also spoken with good intentions.

In this situation, never be complacent.

He feels that no one can be his business.

You know, people live in this world in a regular cycle.

Everything has traces.

Since there are traces, then it can be counted.

But if suddenly one day someone erases all your traces, then you're in big trouble. Since there is no trace of you in this world, how can you say that you exist?

You do not exist in this universe, and the cycle of cause and effect, fortune, longevity and happiness have nothing to do with you.

Is this situation necessarily a bad one? Not necessarily. For example, the so-called gods are also like this.

To be beyond the Three Realms and not be bound by the Five Elements is to be a god.

But are you a god?

Looking at the ultimate goal pursued by Buddhism and Taoism, it is to become an immortal. The first step to becoming an immortal is to practice. After practicing, there are still hardships, accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, going through disasters, and achieving enlightenment. The last step is to ascend to heaven and become an immortal.

You have neither practiced cultivation nor done good deeds, nor have you achieved great enlightenment. How can you become an immortal?

Since you can't become an immortal, there is only one result: becoming a ghost!

That's why the old man reminded Xiao Ran to find another expert as soon as possible, otherwise he would be dead soon.

Xiao Ran looked at the old man's receding back and was speechless for a moment.

If it doesn’t count, then don’t count. Why curse yourself?

"Even the fortune teller can't figure it out, where can I find an expert?"

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes.

At this time, Xiao Ran raised his nose, looked back, and saw Huang Le sitting at a snack stand in the distance, eating two meat elbows with relish.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran frowned and walked forward.

"Sorry, we've sold out our lamb knuckle today."

Behind the stall, the man raised his head and apologized to Xiao Ran with a smile.

"It's okay, we're together."

Xiao Ran waved his hand and glanced at the young man. He felt that he smelled like a dead person.

Others may not be familiar with this smell, but Xiao Ran is very familiar with it. Even though the smell is very light, and even covered up by the smoky smell of cooking on the young man's body, it is the smell of a dead person.

Even a passerby walking by will be more or less contaminated by this smell.

Once you get this smell, it's almost impossible to wash it off.

This is also the reason why Xiao Ran usually doesn't go to big restaurants, because the smell on him is stronger.

The young man raised his nose and looked at Xiao Ran. Finally, when his eyes caught Xiao Ran's eyes, he clenched his fingers under the table suddenly.

After nodding slightly to Xiao Ran, he quickly lowered his head. "Have you finished eating?"

Xiao Ran patted Huang Le on the shoulder, and Huang Le raised his head with a look of hindsight: "Ah?"

When Xiao Ran took a look, he saw Huang Le's face full of tears, as if he had just cried.

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay." Huang Le said as he stuffed the last piece of meat on the plate into his mouth. He held the fork in his mouth and ate while saying, "I don't know what happened, but suddenly... I miss my mom a little bit."

"Condolences."

"No, my mother is still here, I just haven't seen her for a few days."

Xiao Ran: ...

Huang Le came back to his senses as he spoke, wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and took out his mobile phone to scan the code to pay.

"Let me do it!"

At this time, Xiao Ran stopped Huang Le, took out a hundred yuan bill from his pocket and put it on the table; "No need to change."

After saying that, he took the silly Huang Le and left.

After walking out of the door, Xiao Ran looked at Huang Le seriously and said, "If you don't want to wake up one day and find that your wife has become a human corpse and your daughter has become a rag doll in the hands of others, I advise you to be cautious when doing business with these people in the future, and never leave any traces."

Huang Le didn't expect Xiao Ran to say such serious words, and was immediately shocked.

What Huang Le didn't know was that Xiao Ran had revised his words before saying them.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Huang Le. Since he entered the mystery city, everyone he met was helping him, including Xiao Ran and Li Ji who was in the trial.

Huang Le, who had never seen the brutal side of these beginners, had no idea that these people might kill your entire family just because of a word, a sentence, or even a look.

For this, Xiao Ran wants to thank Xue Hongling.

Before meeting Xue Hongling, Xiao Ran had never imagined how cruel these beginners could be.

The subsequent journey to the mysterious city made him witness the ruthlessness of the Changchun Society, a behemoth like it.

These people have already lost their humanity deep down. If you show even a little bit of softness and kindness when dealing with them, they will gnaw you to pieces in an instant.

"Oh, I... remember." Huang Le was now feeling creepy from being stared at by Xiao Ran, with cold sweat rolling down his forehead.

Xiao Ran nodded with relief.

"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go back early."

Xiao Ran looked at the time. It was already three in the morning. He definitely couldn't go to the farmer's market today. As for fishing...

The incident with Uncle Wang had just passed, and Xiao Ran was not in the mood for it. He planned to go back early to take a shower and go to bed. If he really couldn't sleep, he would deal with the body of the Japanese ronin first.

"Okay, I'll take you there. It's hard to get a ride at this hour."

Huang Le happily invited Xiao Ran to take a ride.

When the two of them walked to the parking lot, Xiao Ran looked at Huang Le's van in front of him and a frown appeared on his forehead.

"Did anyone ever say that your name matches this car?"

When Xiao Ran saw a pair of sexy girl's thighs stuck on the yellow car door and the bright red words "Huang Le Adult Products Store" on the back of the car, he instantly understood why the business of this guy's store was getting worse and worse.

"No?"

"Now there is!"

Xiao Ran walked into the car with a helpless look on his face, and regretted it the moment he opened the door. He saw an inflatable doll lying on the seat.

"Hey, this, this, this... This is a customer sample, a sample."

Huang Le's face turned red and he quickly threw the doll into the back seat.

"Om..."

Watching the van going farther and farther away until it disappeared at the end, the young man slowly untied the chef's skirt around his waist and couldn't help licking his lips; "Excellent ingredients!!"

The young man thought of Xiao Ran’s eyes and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

But soon, his face was full of distress: "It's a pity that they seem to be newcomers. Zhong Yi should still be responsible for supervising them. That's really a big trouble."

Thinking of Zhong Yi, the smile on the young man's face gradually faded, and the image of Zhong Yi poking his fingers into his brain and stirring it couldn't stop flashing through his mind.

He quickly shook his head to drive away all the fear.

"Forget it, let's wait until the next time we meet in the mystery city."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently clenched it into a fist in the direction where Xiao Ran left: "Before that, you must, must protect yourself..."
