Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 243 Lu Cheng's Current Situation
After listening to Sister Liu's story, Xiao Ran's face turned ugly.

The story may have nothing to do with the bracelet on his hand, but Xiao Ran knows that the bracelet on his hand may be a kind of sacrificial vessel.

He did not find any usage of the bracelet in the memory that Li Jingqi left for him.

Perhaps even Li Qijing himself doesn't know what this bracelet is used for.

But Li Jingqi knew very well that the reason his strength increased so quickly and he survived so long was all because of this bracelet.

Seeing Xiao Ran's serious expression, Sister Liu comforted him, "Don't worry, this kind of thing won't kill you, and it may even be helpful to you in the future. Just take off the bracelet when you have the chance."

"Okay, I got it." Xiao Ran pondered secretly in his heart, wondering if the effect of [Spiritual Clothes] could get rid of this thing.

"Sister Liu, I'm going to be away for a while. If Wu Man comes back, tell him that I'm home."

"Okay." Sister Liu nodded to indicate that it was okay.

There was nothing much to explain about the other things. After Xiao Ran stood up and said goodbye to Sister Liu, he said hello to Qiu Kui. He originally wanted to leave the white cat Bai Xu here, since Qiu Kui took good care of it anyway.

As soon as I entered the door, the white cat followed me in. It seemed to know that it was time to go home. It jumped into the box on its own and stuck its head out.

"Meow!!"

"Bai Xu!" Qiu Kui poked his head out of the door and looked at the white cat with a wronged look on his face.

As a result, the white cat put its head directly into the box.

"Meow meow!!"

Hearing the white cat's urging, Xiao Ran could only pick up the box and said to Qiu Kui at the door: "It's time to go back. I'll bring her back next time I come."

"Oh, then you must bring it back!!"

"Do not worry."

Xiao Ran calmed Qiu Kui down and promised to bring the cat back with him next time. Then he took a deep breath and said silently, "Return!!"

As Xiao Ran silently recited in his heart, the space in front of him was immediately wrapped in a white mist, followed by a strong sense of weightlessness. When Xiao Ran opened his eyes again, he was back in his room.

"Meow meow!"

After returning home, without waiting for Xiao Ran to speak, the white cat jumped out of the box and ran downstairs. No one knew what it was going to do.

“Phew, I’m back!!”

Xiao Ran let out a long breath. Although he had returned to the real world, he still felt disconnected from this world.

But I have to say that the moment Xiao Ran returned home was the moment he felt most relaxed.

I took out my cell phone and was about to order a takeaway meal, but as soon as I took the phone out of my pocket, text messages came in one after another.

"Buzzing..."

There were quite a few messages, all from an unfamiliar number.

Xiao Ran took a closer look and found that they were all messages sent to him by Lu Cheng. Then he remembered that he seemed to have asked Lu Cheng to keep an eye on the changes in the mystery city.

I have been away for such a long time this time, and I don’t know what Lu Cheng has observed during such a long time.

Xiao Ran lay on the bed and started watching on his phone.

Start clicking from the first message sent by Lu Cheng.

[Xiao Ran, today I saw those cities drop again, the drop is much bigger than before, what if this thing falls down in the future? ? ]

[Xiao Ran, I saw a village today. The whole village was on fire. A woman was sitting in the sea of fire. The woman was very beautiful and she didn't seem to be afraid of fire. She was singing a song that sounded pretty.]

"Isn't this... Hongxiang Village? Could it be Moju?"

Xiao Ran continued to scroll down.

Lu Cheng can enter and exit the mystery city freely in his dreams every day.

Moreover, the way he entered the mystery city was different from everyone else. According to Lu Cheng's description, the mystery city was actually very small for him.

He walked above the mystery city, and could see through the mystery city below at a glance, just like a god high above, who could hear and see, but seemed to be detached from all living beings. No one would notice his existence, and he had no way to interfere with others.

This made Lu Cheng very painful. He felt uncomfortable every time he closed his eyes at night. Sometimes he saw people kneeling on the ground praying to the gods to save him, but he had no way to do anything.

It was just like that day when he was playing the role of the Drunken Guan Gong and the old man holding the child was kneeling in front of him. He was playing the role of a god, but was powerless to do anything about the sufferings of the people in this world.

The torture day after day made Lu Cheng suspect that this was all Guandi's punishment for him.

Xiao Ran frowned as she looked at the words on the message and could feel the pain in Lu Cheng's heart.

To be honest, he felt very uncomfortable.

After all, it was he who invited Lu Cheng out. Although he saved his life, he caused Lu Cheng to stay in Guandi Temple to pay off his debts. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel guilty, but he didn't know how to help him.

You can only read one message after another.

After reading a few more messages, Lu Cheng's attitude suddenly began to change.

[Today I found a very interesting place. There were actually a few people like me there. Hehe, it was very interesting. They liked me very much. I sang opera for them and they would treat me with some delicious food. But these people were a little stingy. Every time I sang opera for them, they would never sing for me. They were all wearing opera robes. Could it be that I sang too well and they were embarrassed? ]

Xiao Ran: ???
Xiao Ran greeted with a look of hello.

"Singing an opera? What does that have to do with anything? I'm afraid this kid has encountered some kind of ghost?"

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was not right. When the ghost saw him, it would probably be scared to death before he even got close.

Xiao Ran could even imagine that when the bearded Lu Cheng dressed up as Guan Yu, holding the Qinglong sword, strode towards them, even ordinary people with poor psychological quality would be frightened, let alone ghosts.

Xiao Ran continued to read on, and it was obvious that Lu Cheng's mood became happier after reading the following message.

I often wander around the mystery city with those friends in costumes.

I also learned a few life hacks from them that can help me control things.

He was just a slow learner and could only move small items. For example, if he saw someone going to the toilet without toilet paper, he would help pull some leaves for him.

I originally thought he was a good person doing good things, and he was quite polite. I even thanked him.

But the few friends around him laughed at him and said that this man was destined to suffer this disaster.

Later, Lu Cheng found out that the leaves were called nettles...

[We traveled around the mountains and rivers every night. They told me a lot about the mystery city. They told me that the mystery city was originally a sea of suffering, gathering the evil thoughts of all living beings. It would clean itself up every once in a while, but now morality has collapsed too much, and people's selfish desires have become a sea of suffering that is unbearable, and naturally began to sink. Xiao Ran, what do you think, if that day really comes? ? ]

"Do we have to wait for that day? I'm in there now."

Xiao Ran sighed helplessly.

However, after seeing the message, Lu Cheng's attitude gradually became optimistic, and Xiao Ran felt much better.

After reading Lu Cheng's information, I found that this guy now spends every night either wandering around the Mystery City or trying to do good deeds. However, his strength is low and he can't accomplish anything. He can only do what he can.

For example, if someone peeked at a widow bathing, how could Lu Cheng, who had a natural sense of justice, just sit back and watch? ?

Using the magic tricks taught by a friend, he grabbed a nearby hornet's nest and threw it at the peeping guy.

then……

That day, the widow screamed very loudly, and her clean white buttocks ran from the beginning to the end of the village...

It turned out that Lu Cheng accidentally threw the hornet's nest into the window.

But the result was still good. The man who peeped at the widow finally married her, which can be regarded as a happy marriage.

Anyway, there are many similar things.

Xiao Ran didn't know how to comment on this. He felt that Lu Cheng seemed to have been led astray by his friends and started to develop in the direction of a street urchin in the mystery city.
"But this is also good, at least Lu Cheng is quite happy."

Xiao Ran thought about it and sent a message to Lu Cheng, telling him that he had just returned from outside and would meet him for dinner and drinks in two days.

After a while, Lu Cheng replied and said that it was no problem and he still had a lot to say to Xiao Ran.

I put away my phone, and in just a moment, the takeaway food arrived.

Xiao Ran specially ordered a bowl of braised beef noodles, which had a strong taste. To be honest, it was just average and far inferior to Wu Man's noodles.

But at this time, Xiao Ran was not so picky and just ate the noodles without hesitation.

It’s delicious.

Someone walked in from outside the store.

Xiao Ran took a look and actually liked it.

"Huh? What a coincidence??"

Normally, he had just returned and no one had been here for the past few days, but Zhong Yi actually came at the exact time, which really surprised him. He even suspected that this woman had installed surveillance cameras in her own store.

Thinking back to the last time I killed those bastards, Zhong Yi called me shortly afterwards. Although he didn’t say anything, it seemed as if he had said everything. The silent warning was the most frightening.

So when he saw Zhong Yi at this moment, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel a little wary.

Zhong Yi glanced at the half-eaten noodles in Xiao Ran's bowl and couldn't help but smile: "It shouldn't be that bad."

"It's not terrible, but it's too hot to go out for dinner."

Xiao Ran pointed at the sun outside the door.

"That's hard for you. It's so hot, and you're still wearing a hat and walking around the dog park."

Xiao Ran was stunned when he heard this, but did not deny it immediately. He just lowered his head and continued to eat noodles in silence.

Seeing this, Zhong Yi stopped talking about this topic, his expression gradually straightened up, and he took out a document from the file bag in his hand:
"Although I'm sorry, I still have to do what I have to do. This is your supervision book. In view of your performance during the supervision period, after verification by the company, it has been decided to end your supervision period ahead of schedule. From today on, your every move will no longer be subject to the company's supervision..."
