Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 656: Could He Be the Evil Cultivator Himself? (Second Update)
Yun Ran didn’t know exactly how these robots were created, but she suspected that the robot puppets had already been successfully made.
In fact, they had probably used human souls to verify them long ago.
Xuan Chu’s face didn’t look good either: "These people are really audacious, they dare to do anything!"
The Heavenly Dao is ruthless yet fair, treating all things equally, and naturally, the Heavenly Dao Village doesn’t concern itself with such distinctions between good and evil.
Now, someone intends to mass-produce robot puppets, and that will undoubtedly create many innocent wronged souls.
The power of these talismans is not small, and some weaker souls cannot withstand such torment at all.
That means that to successfully create a robot puppet, a considerable amount of life will be consumed.
The balance under the Heavenly Dao is very likely to be disrupted because of this.
Yun Ran’s eyes fell once again on those talismans: "Perhaps there’s still a way to remedy this!"
Upon hearing these words, Xuan Chu’s eyes lit up and he looked at Yun Ran with a blazing gaze.
"There’s little point in pursuing what’s already happened. This talisman should just be an experimental product; the talismans used to trap human souls would be different.
Earlier, you were able to forcefully break this talisman and extract the soul inside it; other talismans might also have a way to be broken."
Xuan Chu immediately understood Yun Ran’s meaning; as long as the talismans on the robot puppets were destroyed, then the opponent’s plan would be cut off at its source.
"The Heavenly Dao Village will cooperate with the Special Administration Bureau on this matter."
The Heavenly Dao Village has significant power, even capable of uncovering many forces unknown to the Special Administration Bureau, such as the Gu God Hall in the past.
They just need to find the origins and destinations of these robot puppets, and it might not be too late for remediation.
As Xuan Chu spoke, he directly took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and communicated with the elders of the Heavenly Dao Village.
Yun Ran’s thoughts turned to those puppets made into the living dead that she encountered before.
These two matters seemingly have no connection, but Yun Ran always felt that the people creating these two different forms of puppets should be the same group.
The requirements to refine a living dead puppet are too high, and the success rate too low, so these people turned their attention to robots.
The flesh and blood of humans are naturally not as durable as the copper skin and iron bones of robots.
Perhaps because her mind was preoccupied, the time passed especially fast on the way back.
When the yacht docked, apart from the little paperman bustling around, Yun Ran and Xuan Chu both silently pondered their own matters.
As soon as Yun Ran returned to the villa, she saw Little Martial Uncle lying on her bean bag chair, legs crossed, rocking leisurely.
Yun Ran, who had been feeling a bit heavy-hearted, immediately broke into a smile: "Little Martial Uncle, you’re back!"
When Little Martial Uncle was alone, he could be as lazy as he wanted, but when Yun Ran returned, he immediately sat up straight, as he had to set a good example for the younger generation.
"Where did you go before?"
In front of Little Martial Uncle, Yun Ran withheld nothing except not telling him about binding with Ginsengfruit, an intelligent being from a High-class World.
Little Martial Uncle originally thought Yun Ran just went out to relax and take care of her body.
Unexpectedly, she found out about such an inhumane matter.
That wooden face sank immediately, thinking for a moment, then said, "Let me have a look at that talisman!"
Although he wasn’t from this world, as a member of the Xuan Sect, encountering Evil Cultivators doing evil and harming innocent lives naturally required intervention.
Yun Ran quickly handed over the talisman Xuan Chu had drawn earlier to Little Martial Uncle.
Even though she knew that with the experts from Heavenly Dao Village stepping in and cooperating with the Special Administration Bureau, they could mostly suppress this matter.
Yun Ran still felt it would be more secure with Little Martial Uncle’s involvement.
Little Martial Uncle’s puppet body was too small, making it impossible to see the entire talisman at once from below.
He flew directly into the air to finally look over those talismans.
After a while, Little Martial Uncle landed again, his hand tapping absentmindedly on his leg, a gesture he made when he was deep in thought.
Yun Ran didn’t disturb Little Martial Uncle’s thoughts, quietly waiting.
The little paperman dared not make any noise, hurriedly setting aside what it had been working on, doing its best to keep the surroundings quiet.
Seeing Xuan Chu approaching from a distance, one of the little papermen quickly flew over, grabbed Xuan Chu, and covered his mouth.
Not allowed to speak, it also put its round hand up to its mouth, motioning for silence.
Xuan Chu, familiar with the little paperman, knew it could be mischievous at times but never caused trouble on purpose.
He nodded immediately, indicating he would be quiet.
Only then did the little paperman let go of its hold on Xuan Chu’s mouth, gesturing and then pointing towards the living room.
And really, the little paperman’s gestures were particularly precise, especially when mimicking Shishu Yan, utterly embodying the wooden figure.
Xuan Chu instantly understood, realizing that Shishu Yan was here, and working on something important.
Even without seeing, Xuan Chu roughly guessed that Yun Ran had mentioned what happened on the island earlier.
Almost instantly, the same thought occurred to Xuan Chu as to Yun Ran, believing that with Shishu Yan’s help, success would be more than doubled with half the effort.
Xuan Chu didn’t turn to leave, finding a shady spot to sit down and wait.
Precisely when, one wouldn’t know, but the little paperman finally wasn’t as cautious as before.
It turned its head to look at Xuan Chu: "You can go in now~"
Xuan Chu, who originally had a heavy heart, couldn’t help but laugh at the little paperman’s sly demeanor.
"Alright."
When Xuan Chu came in, he saw that Shishu Yan, in his small body, was lying over the talisman he’d drawn, writing and sketching.
Quietly, Xuan Chu stood by, not saying a word to disturb.
After quite a while, when Xuan Chu’s gaze once again fell onto the talisman, a feeling of frustration welled up in his heart.
At the same time, Little Martial Uncle stopped his writing hand.
"If I were those Evil Cultivators, wanting to use human souls to do misdeeds, or even use those powerful natural-born beings to cause trouble, I would definitely modify these talismans in this way."
Looking at the modified talisman, Yun Ran frowned, the subtle pains within her body suddenly intensified.
Yun Ran immediately averted her eyes; although her abilities were sealed, her eyesight and the discomfort made her certain.
Almost instantly, she was certain that this talisman was deeply sinister.
Xuan Chu was more shocked, unable to help but wonder if Shishu Yan might actually be an Evil Cultivator himself?
