Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 896 - 894: A New Rule Is Born! (2 Updates)
However, the Little Paperman still repeated what it had just said.
The Dragon Spirit’s eyes suddenly lit up: "You said the self-destruct array is stuck!"
The Little Paperman nodded without fully understanding why, but it was indeed true; there was a problem with the self-destruct array, and it could see it.
The Dragon Spirit broke into a laugh: "I knew it would turn out like this!"
Although at the time he destroyed that stone pillar purely by accident and with the intention of getting the magic artifact inside,
now, the Dragon Spirit felt he had to put on a front.
At least in front of Xie Xuzhi, let him know that he also has wisdom, even foresight.
The Dragon Spirit deliberately cleared his throat, drawing everyone’s attention to himself.
He then explained: "The stone pillars we destroyed before should be an important part of the underground palace’s array.
They not only affect the entire underground palace but also influence the interior of the Demon-locking Tower. When I saw those stone pillars, I knew something was off..."
While the Dragon Spirit was still talking non-stop,
Xie Xuzhi had already accurately extracted the important information from the Dragon Spirit’s words.
That is, the Dragon Spirit accidentally destroyed the core part of the entire underground palace’s array.
The result was that both the main control of the underground palace and some things inside the Demon-locking Tower were affected.
Xie Xuzhi immediately made a decision in his mind. From now on, the Special Administration Bureau should issue a new regulation.
Any important array must be separated independently and not mixed together.
Otherwise, if there’s another lucky player like the Dragon Spirit who unintentionally damages the core, the remaining array will be all wasted.
The Dragon Spirit continued talking, occasionally raising his eyebrows to look at Xie Xuzhi.
The look seemed to say ’See? Lucky we have me.’
Xie Xuzhi led the applause: "Yes, we’re really fortunate to have you. When we go back, I will definitely reward you."
The Dragon Spirit was calm with a hint of pride: "It’s unnecessary, I’m not lacking. You only need to remember to be a little more polite when you see me next time."
This act of showing off, the Dragon Spirit was very satisfied with.
But he hadn’t become complacent.
The self-destruct array was stuck, so he had to take this chance to finish things here; he was eager to return to Qingfeng Temple!
The people lying on the ground finally woke up.
"Ah, ouch, what happened to me?"
The first person to wake up rubbed their heavy head, and their voice was floaty, which could easily make someone who didn’t know think they were drunk.
"You still ask, we saw all of you lying here as soon as we came out, nearly thinking we hadn’t cleared things thoroughly, letting you get sneak attacked!"
The young person showed a hint of confusion, had he fainted?
"You can’t have forgotten, it hasn’t been that long!"
These people were all very strong, even if they drank a pound of liquor, they’d still run in straight lines.
At this time, several others also woke up; their states were similar to the first person who woke up.
The one asking questions was becoming a bit restless: "You all can’t possibly be clueless about what happened!"
The fainted few only felt their heads were dizzily heavy.
They couldn’t recall anything, and even hearing their companions’ questions was hard to respond to.
This unusual sight was visible to anyone with eyes.
The Little Paperman flew directly over, curiously examining these people.
"Hey, why do you have a black mark on your neck, looks like yin energy!"
The Special Administration Bureau members also have artifacts that detect various yin evil qi.
But, an artifact is not always the same as another artifact.
The Little Paperman was crafted by Yun Ran, developed spiritual wisdom, and importantly, it feeds on yin evil qi.
Others took a look, wow, and found it was true.
The Dragon Spirit also approached; originally, just a few young people being poisoned and fainting was no reason to activate the Retrospective Celestial Eye.
But since the Little Paperman mentioned it was yin energy, it surely was yin energy.
The Dragon Spirit didn’t think the Little Paperman would make a mistake, given it mingles with Mo Zhi, the ghost girl; how could it be wrong.
"Make way, let me see!"
The Dragon Spirit’s eyes suddenly emitted a white glow.
Soon, the Dragon Spirit ’saw’ what happened previously.
These few fainted young people were earnestly and cautiously probing the situation of the secret passage.
Each had clear assignments, seriously recording those flames encased in ice, and others tried to print the talisman on the stone wall.
Yet at this time, a faint, indistinct shadow appeared from nowhere and quietly approached them.
Unnoticed by them, it passed through their bodies.
Several dedicated young people just fainted without warning.
The most puzzling part was, while they were working, they had artifacts in their hands.
Even though those artifacts weren’t specifically for attacks,
any type of artifact should have some basic commonality, which is, they should be triggered when encountering anything evil.
But the Dragon Spirit saw clearly, from the shadow passing through their bodies to them fainting, their artifacts were like decorations.
After seeing all this, the glow above the Dragon Spirit’s eyes faded.
The Little Paperman, being naturally impatient, watched the Dragon Spirit’s Retrospective Celestial Eye close.
Hurriedly came over: "Dragon King, how was it?"
The Dragon Spirit recounted what he saw, his tone still carrying a hint of doubt: "I’ve never seen such evil that doesn’t trigger artifacts.
Could it be that the shadow isn’t? But if it weren’t a shadow, it passing through their bodies shouldn’t have poisoned them into fainting!"
The Dragon Spirit immediately reached out to touch those few who had just woken up.
He still didn’t detect anything unusual from them.
Just as he wanted to withdraw his hand, suddenly, he paused.
At that moment, he subconsciously thought of a possibility, so he changed direction, and sure enough, this time, there was a result.
The Dragon Spirit withdrew his hand, but his mouth seemed glued shut.
Xie Xuzhi noticed the change in the Dragon Spirit’s emotion. Although he didn’t feel alarmed, he guessed things might not be ideal.
Those who were touched by the Dragon Spirit felt it too.
"Brother Long, even if there’s bad news, it’s alright, every time we go out on missions, we’re ready to sacrifice..."
They even have their wills prepared, fearing death not at all, so other matters aren’t that important.
