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

Chapter 768 Absolutely No Humor (2 Updates)
Xie Xuzhi frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, the roadblocks should have been set up at the various main roads leading in and out of Wuhuang Mountain.

"You mean, this car is going to leave Wuhuang Mountain?"

Xie Xuzhi is quite capable, even proficient in sound localization, but he is trapped in this small space.

Coming down from the back of the mountain, the mountain path was winding, and he really couldn't tell which way was which.

But Yunran is different. She may not be able to know exactly where she passes by, but she can know the general direction.

Hearing the disbelief in Xie Xuzhi's tone, Yun Ran nodded.

Of course, Xie Xuzhi didn't see it in such a dark space.

"That's right, this car looks like it's leaving the location of Wuhuang Mountain. Our previous guess might have been a little off."

Previously, Yunran and Xie Xuzhi speculated that the so-called headquarters of the black-robed man was very likely located in some undeveloped area of ​​Wuhuang Mountain.

It's a remote place, and outsiders can't find it unless they have someone to guide them.

But now it seems they are going to be taken away from Wuhuang Mountain.

Xie Xuzhi was also somewhat surprised, but he didn't think it was something unacceptable.

Their main purpose in using bait was to lure out the people behind Wuhuang Mountain.

Whether they are at Wuhuang Mountain or somewhere else is not important.

Xie Xuzhi was still thinking about how to adjust the previous layout.

Then Yun Ran said with a hint of schadenfreude, "If you, as the boss, can't be detected even under the noses of your subordinates, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing!"

Xie Xuzhi: ...

Whether the Special Administration Bureau loses face or not, and whether he loses face or not, he could tell that Yun Ran was obviously enjoying the show.

"That depends on whether you want to be found out."

If Yun Ran wanted to leave, even if the men in black robes were fully prepared, it would be as easy for them to get out.

But if they want to continue with their previous plans, even if the Special Administration Bureau finds out about them, Yun Ran will find a way to help them get away with it.

Xie Xuzhi's words immediately killed Yun Ran's desire to watch the show.

"Hey, you're so boring. Has no one ever told you that you have absolutely no sense of humor?"

Xie Xuzhi really thought about it seriously before answering Yun Ran: "No, because no one makes that kind of joke in front of me."

People who don't have the necessary qualifications don't dare to drive.

People of high status are all in their fifties or sixties. When you're with them, you're always talking about serious matters; it's never boring.

Yunran: ...

She refused to talk to such a rigid and boring person!

The people conducting inspections outside usually don't check the small trucks coming down from Wuhuang Mountain.

But now that there are requirements from above, they have no choice but to check every single vehicle.

Even those conducting the investigations carried special instruments for detecting living creatures; they could detect anything that could breathe.

Yunran listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer to their car.

He immediately forgot the flag he had just set, and moved closer to Xie Xuzhi, whispering, "I bet they won't be able to find out!"

If someone else had said such a pointless bet, Xie Xuzhi would have rolled his eyes at them and told them to find something to do instead.

However, since it was Yun Ran who asked the question, Xie Xuzhi hesitated for less than half a second before deciding to join.

"I also bet they won't be able to find out."

Ginseng Fruit, who hadn't said a word until now, said speechlessly, "You're all betting the same thing, what's the difference between betting and not betting at all?" Xie Xuzhi didn't care about Ginseng Fruit's words.

He chuckled and said, "The black-robed men have managed to hide so well all these years; they must have their own ways of escaping."

Perhaps the special administration bureau has a specific way to counter the magical artifacts they use for detection?

Xie Xuzhi's tone sounded casual, but in reality, he had clearly made up his mind.

Knowing this, Xie Xuzhi's previous anger subsided.

He was more puzzled: if the man in the black robe had so many unknown abilities and connections, why did he have to take this particular path?

With that kind of perseverance to focus on doing something for hundreds of years, what can't they succeed at?

If you insist on getting stuck on a single point, you'll end up narrowing your path in the process.

The facts were just as Yunran and Xie Xuzhi had guessed.

The Special Administration Bureau had inspected the vehicle; Yun Ran and the others even heard the inspectors tapping on the car body.

The sound was very close to Yun Ran and the others, making it seem as if the inspectors could find them with just a little more attention.

In the end, those who conducted the inspection found nothing, and their footsteps faded into the distance as they left.

The car started again.

You made the right bet!
But Xie Xuzhi was not happy at all; he was even already planning where to extract some funds.

Replace and update all the equipment commonly used by the Special Administration Bureau for inspections, and at the same time, have everyone undergo a new training session.

In the coming months, some people in the Special Administration Bureau will have no idea what kind of crazy thing their Director Xie has done to make them suffer so much.

Yunran yawned. She hadn't slept well the night before, and now she was really sleepy.

"I'm going to sleep for a bit. Wake me up when the car stops!"

As she spoke, Yunran took out Erdan and used it as a pillow, while the ginseng fruit took over the job of fanning with a feather fan.

The sun came out, and as the small truck drove on the road, the temperature skyrocketed.

Yunran fell asleep quickly.

Xie Xuzhi admired Yunran's ability to fall asleep in such a difficult environment.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but the road, which had been quite smooth, suddenly started to bump and shake several times. Yunran opened her eyes, somewhat annoyed.

"What's going on here?"

Xie Xuzhi couldn't see outside, so he could only ask Yunran and the ginseng fruit.

Xie Xuzhi hadn't thought there was anything wrong with him not being able to learn esoteric techniques before, but now he suddenly regretted how foolish he had been as a child, never having doubted or been curious about them.

If only he knew some esoteric techniques, even just getting to the basics would be enough, let alone becoming a master.

Yun Ran glanced at it indifferently, and a speechless expression immediately appeared on her face.

"This is the old road we used to take. There weren't many vehicles on it, so the maintenance was much worse, and there were a lot of potholes."

"This man in black robes is no good either. Taking the highway would cost almost nothing, yet he's taking this old road to save such a pittance. He's crazy!"

Sitting in the truck driver's cab might not have much of an impact.

But those of them trapped inside the base are suffering terribly right now.

If someone with a weaker constitution were jostled like that a few times, they might not even survive!
