Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 186 - 185: Targeting Honest Folks Like Her (Part 2)

Chapter 186: Chapter 185: Targeting Honest Folks Like Her (Part 2)

It turned out she was not needed for the rescue; she wasn’t the only clever person around—this guy was faking it too and had infiltrated smoothly.

Skull Man’s eyes flickered with surprise, clearly, he did not expect that he could fail while personally making a move, this shouldn’t be happening.

The man glanced over at Yun Ran and nodded at her, acknowledging her help just a moment ago.

Yun Ran felt instantly comforted; although she hadn’t expected any reward, she was still pleased that the man was grateful.

"Well, well, well, I didn’t expect that the young people nowadays actually have some courage!"

Skull Man’s sarcastic remark clearly intended to provoke, had no effect on Yun Ran who was already aware of his sonic tactics.

The young man sneered at Skull Man: "You should have foreseen that someone would come to seek revenge!"

The Scripture Banner suddenly moved on its own without wind, and as it swayed, those incomprehensible scriptures appeared to come alive, swirling around them.

Yun Ran felt her eyes blur, and her head gradually began to feel heavy.

Ginsengfruit, seeing this scene, was puzzled.

When had its host become so ’quiet,’ just waiting for the opponent to make a move? Could it be observing?

It wasn’t until it saw the man’s vacant eyes that Ginsengfruit realized—its host had been tricked!

It immediately let out a sharp screech: [Host, wake up, if you don’t wake up now, you’ll be turned into a decor piece!!!]

Ginsengfruit’s voice was like someone banging a large drum next to her ear; not only did it snap Yun Ran out of her daze, but it could have awakened her even if she had genuinely passed out.

Looking again, the Scripture Banners were still fluttering, but that was about it; the scriptures on them wouldn’t actually come off.

Now the Scripture Banner had no effect on her, and she finally discovered some secrets about it.

No wonder the scriptures on it were a bit odd; turns out, these were specially made, and also one of the oldest forms of hypnotism.

To the viewer, it was like watching a 3D movie in a theater; the only difference was, this didn’t require 3D glasses.

Yun Ran drew her Peach Wood Sword, and before Skull Man could react, the sword light she swung shattered the Scripture Banners.

The Scripture Banners broke, and the previously dazed-looking man, now slapped awake by Little Paperman, also came to his senses.

Seeing the fragments of the Scripture Banners on the ground, he instantly understood why he had been tricked and also realized why his companions had died so easily.

With old and new hatred combined, the young man’s look toward the Skull Man was venomous.

"I’ll deal with him, you go clear those evil methods!"

At this moment, the young man obviously saw Yun Ran as an ally, quickly making a judgment and the best decision.

Listening to the man’s words, Yun Ran raised her eyebrows; this was the first time someone had assigned her a task, but, it was also her intention.

Without any prior communication, both instinctively chose the battle mode best suited for themselves.

Yun Ran headed towards the various containers, it was best that no one disturbed her.

Of course, even without the young man here and with Little Paperman’s help, she would have been able to handle these things smoothly.

But having someone’s help is always much better than fighting alone.

The young man watched Yun Ran swiftly heading towards the target and didn’t idle either; he pulled a dagger from his boot shank and launched a fierce offensive towards the Skull Man.

Ginsengfruit had seen a lot of Yun Ran’s exorcism and had lost interest.

Immediately, it shifted its attention entirely to the young man, whose fierce and ruthless moves made Ginsengfruit’s blood surge with excitement.

[Host, this guy, all his moves are lethal, he must be a legendary Assassin, wow wow wow, I’ve grown so much, actually seeing a living Assassin!]

Especially how clean and decisive the young man’s movements were, Ginsengfruit felt like it was smitten.

Yun Ran completely ignored Ginsengfruit’s shrieking and began to examine the souls that had been extracted and imprisoned.

Then, her expression darkened—it’s no wonder these people were doing these things without invoking Heavenly Punishment.

These souls, they were all Life Souls, extracted while their hosts were still alive.

For living people, if their Life Souls were extracted, their fate would either be an unending coma or becoming foolish.

They exploited the loophole that extracting a Life Soul without its host immediately dying did not count as taking a life.

Thinking about this, Yun Ran suddenly felt unpleasant, feeling that the Heavenly Dao of this world was too rigid.

She was harassed by Evil Cultivators, discarded by the Heavenly Dao, and even a slight mistake would lead her to be struck by Heavenly Thunder.

Look at these Evil Cultivators, always finding loopholes or on the way to finding them, committing numerous bad deeds, yet nothing happened to them.

She had been struck several times, simply because they caught her, such an ’honest person,’ to torment.

These Life Souls had their memories erased and turned into ’clean and pure’ sacrificial offerings. Even if infused into craftsman’s creations, they would exhibit no resistance.

The case of someone like Hirano Jiro being able to regain consciousness was almost a rare occurrence.

The containers here were all filled, some had been around for a long time, even if she wanted to release these Life Souls, they probably couldn’t return to their own bodies anymore.

Those who became fools or vegetative individuals, without family members who had sufficient patience and love, would not survive long at all.

And when these people died, they wouldn’t attract any attention; no wonder no powerful Dark Masters stood up to enforce justice.

Hirano Jiro did find out, unfortunately, his skills were too poor, and he ended up entangling himself as well.

Yun Ran took out the artifact sealing Hirano Jiro and removed the Sealing.

Before, the oblivious Hirano Jiro, seeing this place and those containers, suddenly let out a ghastly scream.

Clearly, he remembered something and was agitated, starting to turn evil!

Yun Ran cast a Magic Spell that hit the turning-evil Hirano Jiro, who felt as though he had been slapped, the pain from deep within his soul made him eventually come back to his senses.

"Master, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, I just couldn’t control myself seeing this environment..."

Yun Ran shared her speculations with Hirano Jiro, then added, "Anyway, you were defending justice, so there might be some Merit.

If there’s none, I’ll share some of mine with you later, to let you properly move on to the afterlife."
