Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 31 Get in the car!

After carefully reading the blood-red handwriting in his sight, Xiao Ran began to feel some doubts in his heart.

This time the mystery city seems different from the previous ones.

According to the prompts, you need to go to the mission location yourself.

If I'm not mistaken, these are the four stations on the license plate in front of me.

The four mission locations seemed to be connected to each other, instead of being a closed village like last time.

"Hmm... No wonder it was a trial last time, but this time it became a participation."

Xiao Ran read the prompt carefully again, and after confirming that there was no misleading prompt like last time, he fixed his eyes and asked, "What is this weird story?"

"Crack!"

Just as Xiao Ran was lost in thought, a sharp shattering sound immediately alerted him. He followed the direction of the sound and turned his head to look at the alley across the street.

In the dim alley, there seemed to be a dark shadow crawling on the ground, walking out of the alley step by step.

When the faint light on the street shone on the shadow, Xiao Ran frowned and quickly took out a dagger from the mysterious city space.

This dagger was Xue Hongling's weapon before. When he took away Xue Hongling's body, he threw it into the space.

“What is this thing?” The outline of the other party was reflected in Xiao Ran’s pupils.

In the shadows in front of the street, a dark shadow was crawling on the ground. Its skinny body was just skin and bones. If you didn't look carefully, the way it crawled on the ground looked like a big cat.

The blue-gray nails were long, slender and sharp, making a rustling sound as they rubbed against the ground.

The monster had no face. Its long tentacles stretched from its cheeks to the ground, as if it was carefully searching for something. Looking at its twisted limbs, it looked like the beggars who were deliberately crippled and begging on TV news.

At this time, a cool breeze blew past Xiao Ran. The monster paused and slowly raised its head. The tentacles on its face danced gently in the air. As if it had caught the scent in the air, it suddenly turned its body towards Xiao Ran.

A feeling of being stared at arose spontaneously, and as Xiao Ran quickly retreated, the strange black cloak was put on his body at the same time.

"activation!!"

The black curse pattern emerged along Xiao Ran's shoulders and quickly merged with the strange cloak.

【Strange Cloak·Trainee】

After the spell pattern was fused with the cloak, a dark shadow of the spell pattern appeared on the cloak. The shadow became thicker and thicker, wrapping Xiao Ran's figure in the shadow, and soon the whole person merged into the darkness.

Privilege 1: Night travel. At night, you can enter a semi-invisible state, and when you stop moving, you can enter a full-invisible state.

However, the monster did not seem to be affected by the invisibility. The long tentacles on its face twisted in the air for a few times, then locked onto Xiao Ran's direction and rushed straight towards him.

The twisted limbs began to become thin and long, and the body turned into a spider in an instant.

Before he got close, the pungent stench had already hit him. The strong feeling of oppression made Xiao Ran's heartbeat begin to accelerate. One hand was tightly clenched on the hilt of the sword, and his body under the cloak was slightly bent forward. This was the standard posture for drawing the sword and slashing.

The monster was very fast and rushed onto the road in a flash.

Suddenly, his legs stretched out and his body pounced forward like a leaping cheetah.

But at this moment, two strong lights suddenly penetrated from the fog.

"Didi! Didi!!"

Along with the shrill sound of the horn, two strong lights suddenly illuminated the road in the darkness.

A bus with the license plate number [404] suddenly rushed out from the darkness at a very fast speed, without even the slightest intention of slowing down or braking, and rushed straight towards us.

With a dull "bang!", in Xiao Ran's shocked eyes, the monster was knocked flying, turned 360 degrees in the air, and fell heavily more than ten meters away.

"Squeak~Squeak~"

The sudden change caught Xiao Ran off guard. It was only when he heard the sharp brake sound that he came to his senses. He looked up and saw a yellow bus slowly stopping in front of him.

The car looks like it has seen some time.

It looks more like a product of the 1980s. The mottled paint on the car body began to peel off, revealing the gray metal texture underneath. Rust spread to the corners of the doors and the edges of the windows, and even the window glass had a hazy texture.

There were several collision marks on the front bumper of the bus, which had been roughly repaired. The unevenly colored paint seemed to have been applied randomly and did not match the color of the entire vehicle. The headlight cover was full of dust and dead insects.

"Click~Buzz~"

The car door opened, and the fat driver in the driving seat stuck his head out of the window and stared at the monster that was knocked away, cursing: "Damn it, I just washed the car, can you scavengers get away from it!!" Xiao Ran glanced at the monster still twisting on the ground in the distance, wondering whether he should take the opportunity to give it another blow and take the body away.

But at this moment, the driver turned his eyes and looked at Xiao Ran standing outside the car door with an unhappy face, frowned and said: "Are you getting in the car? If not, I will close the door?"

Hearing the driver's urging voice, Xiao Ran couldn't help feeling a little regretful. It seemed that running to pick up the body now might not be feasible. After all, getting in the car was the key.

"on!"

Xiao Ran nodded and walked straight into the car.

"Remember to put in the coins!" The driver closed the car door and pointed to the coin slot next to it.

Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment as he looked at the coin slot, then took out a round copper coin with a layer of oily green rust and the words "Fengcheng Treasure Mirror" were written on it.

This is one of the rewards after the last mystery city trial, a total of four copper coins.

Since it is currency produced in the mystery city, it should be consumed in the mystery city.

Holding the coin, Xiao Ran glanced at the driver, and seeing that he didn't seem to object, he threw the coin into the coin slot.

"Ding Dong!"

After the copper coin fell into the coin slot, a clicking sound similar to that of a printer came from the coin slot, and then a blue ticket was spit out from below.

Xiao Ran picked it up and took a look at it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

[404 ticket: only for this use.]

Destination: No. 7 Middle School
(Note: If you get off at a stop later than the designated stop, you will be responsible for the consequences.)

"It seems that my mission location this time is the Seventh Middle School."

Xiao Ran put the ticket into his pocket. He remembered that the Seventh Middle School seemed to be the fourth stop.

"Etc., etc……"

A figure rushed up from outside the car door. When he reached the door, he used his hands and feet and almost crawled into the car.

The man was wearing a vest and lying on the ground, gasping for breath. A few sparse hairs on his head hung down, making him look particularly disheveled.

The driver glanced at the man, then with a look of disgust, he stretched out his bear-paw-sized fist and punched the coin machine.

"Bang!" a voice.

After the coin machine shook a few times, the clicking sound was heard again, and soon the second ticket was spit out.

Xiao Ran glanced at the handwriting on the ticket.

I found that the above content is not the same as mine.

It was also ticket number 404, but the destination was [Jiaomu Village] and there was a black seal on it that read [Trial Special Ticket].

"Trial? Is this guy a newcomer?"

Xiao Ran's heart moved slightly. What would happen if he exchanged the two tickets at this time?
Of course, this is just an idea. Who knows what the result will be.

Even if she really took the man's ticket and participated in the mystery city trial again, it would not be of any particular benefit to her.

But this newcomer is probably doomed to die.

"Hurry up, hurry up, take your tickets, sit down quickly, and start driving."

The driver urged them with a dark face, and without even waiting for the two to find a seat to sit down, he could not wait to step on the accelerator. With the roar of the car, the car suddenly rushed forward. As if in revenge, the driver deliberately turned the steering wheel, causing the car to run directly over the monster.

“Crack!!”

The sound of bones breaking under the wheels was extremely harsh. Xiao Ran couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart when he saw the bloodthirsty and morbid smile on the driver's face.

"Isn't this guy a pervert?"

"Zizi...Zizi..."

At this time, after a burst of noise came from the radio on the bus, a cold voice came out: "Welcome to bus No. 404. Passengers who are getting on the bus, please hold on and sit down. The next stop is Ghost Alley."

Xiao Ran: ???
