Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 491 Natural Disaster
This is undoubtedly great news for everyone, as Miss Guo's ability is to heal and immunize against all viral and bacterial infections.

This ability is a huge bug in the current situation. Later in the story, this bug was plugged by the Heavenly Dao, so she could only watch helplessly as her teammates were killed by her, and in the end, she herself became one of the victims of the scripted murder mystery game.

After Qu Youliang's death, Xu Ronghai, at Du Anrao's behest, had someone test her and found that her abilities were still temporarily intact.

However, neither this calamity nor the abilities that the main characters and others brought back from the dungeon should have appeared in this world in the first place, and now only they themselves can use them.

The research team that revolves around them, no matter how eager they are to conduct their research, cannot do so without their cooperation.

That's why they had to go through all this trouble in a roundabout way. Fortunately, this person has finally relented, and their goal has been achieved.

"Then you now..."

"Because of this matter, the top researchers from various places have been summoned to City B one after another. Right now, the top researchers in charge of drug research are all rushing to Miss Guo's place. Dr. Du also has to go there. I have to go to the research institute to pick him up."

“Then you should go quickly. Oh right…” Du Anrao said, then seemed to remember something and pulled out a bunch of name tags from his bag.

"These plaques contain amulets that I drew not long ago, which can protect people and ward off evil spirits and misfortune."

Du Anrao didn't know if this thing would work on the viruses in the main characters' bodies, but something was better than nothing.

"Consider it as a safeguard, for peace of mind. Send one to everyone who needs to be in close contact with Ms. Guo. If you need more, just let me know and I'll send you more."

The young man's eyes lit up when he heard her say that; this was a rare find.

Did you not see that Ms. Du from the neighboring police department became the department's darling just because she received a pair of auspicious earrings personally given to her by this Master Du? They practically worshipped her.

He couldn't even imagine how much respect he would receive if he brought these things back with him!

Thinking of this, the young man swiftly grabbed the name tags that Du Anrao handed him, stuffing them into his pocket as if afraid she would change her mind.

He even had a憨态可掬 smile on his face: "Miss Du, you're too kind. Many people would kill for your amulet! Don't worry, I'll tell my department head when I get back to give this amulet to everyone who comes into contact with Miss Guo."

By then, this job that few people are willing to do will probably become a hot commodity.

Du Anrao was unaware of his thoughts, and seeing that he did not seem to be too averse to the amulet, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you find it useful, that's good."

After watching the person leave, Du Anrao turned his head and met Du Desheng's inexplicably complicated gaze.

"???"

Du Anrao was completely bewildered. He turned to look in the direction the young man had left, then looked at Du Desheng, and finally even reached out to touch his own face.

"Grandpa, is there... something on my face?"

Du Desheng observed her expression and actions, his lips twitching slightly. He cut to the chase, "I heard you recently entrusted that boy from the Xi family to donate a large sum of money to charity. Is that true?" Du Anrao was stunned and muttered softly, "Why did he tell you about this?"

Upon hearing this, Du Desheng's lips twitched violently again. He thought to himself that Du Desheng had not only told him this, but had also told the entire family about it.

Thinking about the recent commotion in the family group chat, if he didn't know that this person could hear their An'an's thoughts from the very beginning and that there was probably no major problem with his character, he would have suspected that this brat was maliciously making money under the guise of their An'an!
"I'm not thinking that since this money is just sitting there, I might as well donate it to those in need. I'm not someone who's particularly good at spending money, and donating this money can not only help people but also earn me some merit. For me right now, this is the most practical thing."

Upon hearing her words, Du Desheng's eyes flashed: "Really useful?"

"I guess...?" Du Anrao wasn't very sensitive to the arrival of merit points, but it was true that she had accumulated quite a few merit points recently.

The evidence lies in the fact that she used to draw a few amulets and then have to rest, but recently she has been able to draw with divine inspiration every time she puts her pen to paper. Sometimes she can draw for an entire afternoon without feeling tired, and she no longer feels the same kind of exhaustion she used to experience.

Du Desheng knew that what Du Anrao said was true, and snorted: "Since it's useful, let that brat donate more. Anyway, he has plenty of money."

Du Anrao was embarrassed again upon hearing this. What did he mean by saying he had plenty of money? She was clearly spending her own money!
However, she didn't dwell on the topic with Du Desheng. The lawyer's death and the recent events gave her an ominous feeling, as if a more terrifying storm was brewing behind this brief calm.

What happened shortly afterward confirmed her idea.

"At 3:27 a.m. on the 28th, a 5.3-magnitude earthquake occurred in K City, Y Province. The earthquake ranged from Yunling to Jiang County, with an intensity of X. The surrounding areas felt the tremors. No casualties have been reported so far."

The news that suddenly popped up on her phone screen caught Du Anrao's attention and made her realize in a flash that she had overlooked something.

It's a natural disaster!

If I remember correctly, various natural disasters did indeed occur in the world later in the story, and it was precisely because of these natural disasters that the protagonist group belatedly realized that they seemed to have accidentally gone too far.

However, in the original plan, these natural disasters occurred before these people tragically died.

And now, these natural disasters seem poised to occur in tandem with their deaths, and...

Du Anrao pulled up the original plot for comparison. The earthquake that occurred in K City, Y Province, was originally supposed to be a massive earthquake of magnitude 8.2 with heavy casualties, but it has now been reduced to magnitude 5.3.

Based on what her master mentioned before, the new Heavenly Dao needs the help of those chosen "Children of Heavenly Dao" to absorb the popularity of others and use it to enhance its own strength and unleash natural disasters.

Does the change in this earthquake mean that the fortune it has accumulated so far is not enough to support it in launching a terrible natural disaster like the one in the original story?

Realizing this, Du Anrao's heart pounded, but he had to remind himself not to be too happy yet, as this conclusion needed more factual evidence to support it.

Therefore, she must quickly compile the natural disasters that were specifically described in the original text and communicate with Xu Ronghai in advance so that they can be prepared.

After all, sometimes what's truly terrifying isn't the natural disaster itself, but the series of chain reactions it causes, such as landslides, mudslides, and earthquake-induced tsunamis...
