Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 655: Even More Ruthless Than the Founding Fathers of Capitalism!
After another two days, the hidden matters on the little island were finally clarified.
Xie Xuzhi looked at Yun Ran with a hint of apology: "The underground construction beneath this island is very important, let me replace it with another property for you..."
Seeing Yun Ran’s expression without the slightest surprise, the usually ruthless Young Master Xie felt inexplicably like he was being rather shameless by just reaching out and taking the young lady’s things.
By the end, Xie Xuzhi stopped himself from speaking further.
In his heart, a conflict raged; this island certainly couldn’t remain under Yun Ran’s name, he could only compensate her doubly.
When the Little Paperman discovered the underground construction, Yun Ran knew that she wouldn’t be able to keep the island, which was why she directly and neatly contacted Xie Xuzhi.
"No problem, on official matters, I’m still quite reasonable."
Xie Xuzhi: ...
Looking at the smiling Yun Ran, Xie Xuzhi felt that his previous understanding of her was very one-sided.
Fortunately, he was someone with deep thoughts himself and did not let Yun Ran notice his earlier inner conflicts.
After considering for a moment, Xie Xuzhi decided to reveal part of the situation.
"All the robots on this island have problems, all are enslaved using a special method by trapping many animal souls.
According to the relevant data we obtained, these animal souls are merely experiments, the underground construction has traces of human soul remnants..."
The rest, Xie Xuzhi did not say, but Yun Ran already understood what he meant.
Although a bit surprised, she wasn’t particularly shocked.
When Xuan Chu captured the monkey and fox souls, Yun Ran already guessed the general direction and was prepared, so naturally, she wasn’t surprised.
Needless to say, these were definitely done by those Evil Cultivators, the Zhao Family was truly not wronged when they were suppressed back then.
Knowing they colluded with Evil Cultivators, she didn’t expect they would even do something like enslaving souls.
Yun Ran glanced at Xie Xuzhi’s obviously tired yet icy eyes, silently mourning for a second for the remaining Zhao Family who were still hanging on.
Even though this era doesn’t emphasize collective punishment, back then, only the Direct Lineage of the Zhao Family were suppressed.
But now, with such a significant matter involved, the remaining Zhao Family members probably won’t have any peaceful days ahead.
"I see you guys are also very busy, and I’ve had enough fun here, I should head back. For the remaining matters, you can have someone contact Xin Fu."
Having people under her command, Yun Ran naturally couldn’t handle everything herself; she originally left Xin Fu to specifically handle such matters.
Xie Xuzhi was also very busy; he stayed here these days just to quickly gather all the forces to investigate the matters here.
Otherwise, if any link was neglected or obstructed, the matters of this island couldn’t have been clarified so quickly.
"Alright, I’ll arrange the private jet to take you back first..."
Yun Ran immediately waved her hand: "No need, my yacht is still over there, I’ve already been high-profile enough, I don’t want to draw any more attention."
Those words immediately made Xie Xuzhi understand that Yun Ran guessed he was going to deal with the other Zhao Family members or involved families.
At this moment, he was once again thankful that Yun Ran was on his side, otherwise, having such a smart person as an opponent would indeed be too troublesome.
"Okay, then you head back first, and if there’s anything else, feel free to contact me."
Yun Ran made an okay gesture and then left with Xuan Chu and the Little Paperman.
Xie Xuzhi stood there, watching Xuan Chu’s back, eyes slightly narrowed, inexplicably finding this person a bit of an eyesore.
Clearly, this person was very hostile to Yun Ran at first, so when did their relationship become this good?
Xie Xuzhi didn’t know where the discomfort in his heart came from, but now, being overly busy, he didn’t have the spare time to delve into it.
The others watched Yun Ran and them leaving, once again filled with intense envy.
"In the past, people said Lady Yun was foolish, and she would eventually regret leaving the protection of the Special Administration Bureau to venture outside. Now it seems, Lady Yun will never regret it."
"Indeed, as long as she’s capable, even without being in the Special Administration Bureau, she can still make the master favor her. Previously, who would have the privilege of having the master see them off."
"You all still have the mood to banter, seems you’re not really tired, keep working then!"
Instantly, a burst of wailing echoed, they were flesh and blood, how could they not be tired, nearly exhausted by now.
This has gone on for several days, every day they could only close their eyes for two or three hours, now they even dream of wanting to sleep.
Looking at the excavated robots not far away, at this moment, they suddenly seemed to understand why those Evil Cultivators made those robots.
Those souls don’t need rest; just placing them inside robots would use them as a perpetual motion machine.
The crucial point is those souls still have self-awareness, if they succeeded, they could indeed act as robots with self-awareness, the destructive power would be astonishing.
As for what the souls would eventually become, probably no one would care. If the soul scatter and disappear, just place another one inside.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, truly even darker than the forefathers of capitalists!
On the other side, Xuan Chu and Yun Ran, just boarded the yacht, were also discussing the matter.
Xuan Chu drew out the talisman he had ’seen’ on the robot earlier and handed it to Yun Ran.
"Do you think those Evil Cultivators did all this for what exact purpose?"
Yun Ran picked it up and examined it closely before saying: "What else would it be for, Evil Cultivators throughout history have always been hiding, their numbers are always limited.
Their source is none other than those with impure thoughts or those who have strayed, it can be said the generational gaps of Evil Cultivators are more serious than those of the Xuan Sect.
People at any time are the most important factor for development, these robots are essentially obedient Puppets..."
Regarding matters of the Evil Cultivators, as long as a hint appears, the rest just need to be thought of in the worst direction.
Yun Ran glanced again at the talisman: "If I’m not mistaken, this talisman not only forces the entrapped souls to work.
It can also gradually devour all the emotions of those souls, turning them into complete tools!"
Xuan Chu was silent for a moment, his tone somewhat unpleasant: "According to what you say, if they truly succeeded, the future couldn’t only be disastrous for ordinary people."
Robots by nature have steel bodies; if what is trapped inside are the souls of Xuanmen people, the threat of this Puppetry would be unimaginable.
