The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 51 Dark under the lamp

Yunran arrived at her destination without any problems along the way.

"I didn't expect that Heaven would be so good at judging the timing. When it comes to doing important things, it never holds me back."

Even the ginseng fruit was slow to realize that the way of heaven in this world of the book wasn't so unreasonable after all.

From afar, Yunran spotted the person and ran over excitedly.

Then I heard people saying bad things about her.

"Boss, you didn't say the outside help we'd received was a young girl! This place is dangerous!"

Shen Zhe was followed by four other men. When they saw Yun Ran, their eyes widened in surprise.

Yun Ran was immediately displeased. As expected of Shen Zhe's subordinates, their emotional intelligence was worrisome.

Shen Zhe had never actually seen Yun Ran's abilities, but he remembered that Director Xie had said that Yun Ran could be called upon for any dangerous missions in the future.

Director Xie is not a member of the Xuanmen sect, but over the years, if it weren't for Director Xie keeping things under control, these people would have long since had all the credit stolen by other people with connections in the bureau.

Therefore, in the eyes of these capable but tongue-tied people, Xie Xuzhi was the most reliable person, and the person he sent was definitely not someone trying to gain merit.

"Enough talk, let's get to work!"

The men who had been grumbling just moments before, upon hearing this, immediately pulled out their tools of the trade, which Yun Ran noticed were all quite good magical artifacts.

The man next to her looked at Yun Ran's silly expression and immediately became anxious.

They do jobs that put their lives on the line, and what they fear most is having incompetent teammates.

"Little girl, what are you standing there for? Take out your magic weapon!"

Having been called "little girl" twice in a row, Yun Ran felt she had to give these people a shock, lest they continue to yell at her.

"My name is Yun Ran, not 'little girl.' Also, a true master isn't someone who only wields divine weapons; someone who can kill by plucking a leaf is a true master!"

Without further ado, Yun Ran drew several substitute talismans from a distance and cast them into the bodies of the people present.

Who told them to look like they were about to have some bad luck?

"What I just drew was a substitute talisman. Although I don't know how capable you are, with this substitute talisman, consider it an extra life. Consider it my greeting gift to you!"

Everyone present was truly skilled; they knew what they were talking about. Yun Ran's move just now had completely stunned them.

Shen Zhe began to examine himself, and sure enough, what had been injected into his body was a substitute talisman that had already been activated.

"Holy crap, that's awesome! Little, oh, Yunran, right? Who taught you? You can actually draw talismans from a distance, and it's even a high-level talisman like a substitute talisman..."

"Others are considered masters if they can draw talismans, especially high-level ones, and succeed in drawing even one out of a dozen. You, on the other hand, can draw them from a distance and succeed 100% of the time..."

"..."

Yunran no longer believes that there is such a thing as straight men having low emotional intelligence. When it comes to topics that interest them, they can be noisier than flies!

Yun Ran could only frown and say, "Shut up!"

The usually noisy men finally shut up, but their gazes toward Yun Ran changed from subtle disdain to sparkling excitement.

Shen Zhe, however, had more on his mind. His gaze swept seriously over his men. "Keep everything that happened today a secret. Anyone who dares to expose Yun Ran's affairs will face my wrath!"

Just as these people said before, if someone can draw a dozen and get one high-level talisman, that person is already a genius.

If someone like Yun Ran were to find out, it would definitely cause her a huge problem.

Only Director Xie can protect her, but it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Yun Ran is still young and needs time to grow. A special commissioner position would be just right and wouldn't be too conspicuous.

Now, Shen Zhe seemed to understand why Director Xie had put Yun Ran under his command—it was a case of the blind spot under the lamp!
These people just have low emotional intelligence, not low IQ; they clearly understood what their leader meant.

"Yes, boss!"

Having witnessed Yun Ran's methods and received the gift she gave them, they immediately regarded Yun Ran as one of their own.

They began to talk about the mission. Ever since Yun Ran met him, Shen Zhe's facial expressions had never been very rich, as if he had severed all emotions and desires.

But now, his brows were furrowed, clearly indicating that this mission was somewhat tricky; otherwise, he wouldn't have summoned Yun Ran.

"Last week, a sketching team of thirteen people came here to find inspiration. After entering this newly built shopping mall, they disappeared."

The school reported the incident to the police, and the police sent people to investigate, but in the end, even those police officers disappeared.

Later, both civilian and official search teams disappeared in this area; both search teams had members from the Taoist Association or the Buddhist Association…

Although this place looks quite large, several groups of people have been swallowed up here, leaving no trace of them, so it's no wonder that the case was reported to the management bureau.

Yun Ran's expression was also not good at the moment. She felt that this matter was probably a bit tricky. She looked at the shopping mall behind Shen Zhe, which had stopped construction, but she couldn't see anything.

Shen Zhe continued, "The order from above is that even if all those people are dead, their bodies must be brought out."

Hearing this, Yunran breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't afraid of her boss having many demands, but she was afraid of her boss giving unreasonable orders.

If they insist on rescuing the person unharmed, Yunran will definitely turn her back on them and leave on the spot!
They couldn't find anything from the outside; they had to go inside to investigate.

The group exchanged glances, gripped their magical artifacts tightly, and went inside. Yun Ran twisted her neck and followed them in, but she was much more relaxed and composed than the others.

As soon as you step into the mall, no one sees the ripples spreading out from the air walls, creating wave after wave of patterns.

Once they were fully inside, Yunran realized that they had entered a special domain.

Apart from Yun Ran, the others, including Shen Zhe, all felt a strong attraction.

"Bang" sound.

The group of people suddenly slammed to the ground, their bodies completely paralyzed.

"This is a domain, and a Ghost King-level domain at that!"

Seeing that Yun Ran was unaffected by the gravity, Shen Zhe knew that if she hadn't been personally arranged to be sent over by Director Xie, he would have immediately suspected her identity.

Yun Ran calmly took out an ugly wooden sword from her tattered little bag and swung it at Shen Zhe and the others.

The ordinary wooden sword suddenly unleashed sword energy, causing Shen Zhe's heart to leap into his throat.
