Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling
Chapter 1171 - 1167: Fell Into the Trap
Not even the next day, that very night, quite a few people fell into misfortune, dragging their companions into trouble with them.
Either they were inexplicably fined, or matters that were agreed upon suddenly changed, causing anxiety and frustration.
But every incident, strangely enough, had an identifiable cause, leaving those affected unable to explain their grievances.
Seeing the results reported by his subordinates, Elder Kang, who was responsible for managing the interpersonal affairs of Moonlight City, was immediately satisfied.
In the following days, those involved in the commotion at the city gate were affected one after another.
Finally, some realized that it was the people of Moonlight City deliberately punishing them.
Those who initially intended to stir up trouble not only failed to gain any rewards but also faced disdain from their own people.
On the contrary, Yun Ran’s side remained especially peaceful, even the "primary culprit" Er Dan was living a quiet and content life.
Ginsengfruit, using curiosity as an excuse, toured Moonlight City and sneakily scanned the entire city map.
If it weren’t for the numerous arrays within Moonlight City, fearing to trigger those ancient and formidable formations.
Ginsengfruit wouldn’t resort to such slow and tedious methods, fortunately, time was still on their side.
Even the area around the Sacrificial Tower was thoroughly scanned by Ginsengfruit.
At this moment, Ginsengfruit held the map obtained from his scan, confidently handing it to Yun Ran.
"Host, I’m certain there’s not a more detailed map than mine in the world, not even among those within Moonlight City."
Yun Ran looked at the map in her hand, densely marked with various hidden traps, suddenly feeling a headache.
The former master of Moonlight City, wasn’t too cautious? There were too many traps!
No wonder they dared to let so many Dark Masters into the city while ensuring the smooth operation of the entire Moonlight City.
"Host, look at this Sacrificial Tower, it actually has a barrier inside, and several layers at that, if someone accidentally intrudes.
Tsk tsk tsk, the outcome would be predictable, I wonder who would be so unlucky..."
Ginsengfruit spoke enthusiastically of his achievements, with a clear hint of mockery in his tone.
He didn’t notice Yun Ran’s increasingly speechless expression.
But Ginsengfruit was not foolish, and soon noticed Yun Ran’s odd expression.
Initially, he thought that the host was concerned about the complex structural plan of the Sacrificial Tower, fearing future troubles.
Suddenly, a string in Ginsengfruit’s mind seemed to snap.
His eyes widened abruptly, looking at Yun Ran in disbelief, "No way, Host, could it be that you had already..." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Ginsengfruit didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was fully conveyed.
Among those unfortunates, could one of them be his host...?
Yun Ran gave Ginsengfruit a glance of her own thoughts, then looked towards other areas on the map.
Ginsengfruit: ...
Awkward, he was eating melon right in front of the main character, and he even did so with eagerness and jest.
Ginsengfruit quietly closed his mouth and tried to shrink his presence as much as possible.
As if that could relieve the fault of his inappropriate words earlier.
Yun Ran felt a bit speechless, but didn’t take the matter too seriously.
Instead, her gaze fell on an area with some blanks, studying it for a while.
She then continued to inquire Ginsengfruit, "What’s the situation in this area?"
Normally, beneath the surface level of buildings, a city’s map should have many blanks.
But, this norm seemed abnormal in Moonlight City, where traps and hidden mechanisms were everywhere.
Ginsengfruit, who just collected his presence, had to re-emerge, stretching his neck to look in the direction Yun Ran pointed.
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "When I scanned here, it was just a blank space.
Either there’s truly nothing here, or there’s something here that’s blocking my scan."
The words appeared to offer two possibilities.
But, in Yun Ran’s ears, it automatically translated into the only answer.
That is, the blank area definitely holds something that obstructed Ginsengfruit’s scan.
"Could the copper mirror be here?"
Even the Sacrificial Tower, with its multiple barriers, could be scanned by Ginsengfruit, this location likely holds something more advanced than a barrier.
"I’ll explore this place tonight, you cover for me!"
Ginsengfruit quickly nodded, covering for Yun Ran was no big deal to him.
If someone arrived before Yun Ran returned, not only could he mimic Yun Ran’s voice perfectly.
He could even transform into Yun Ran’s appearance, with matching aura.
"Don’t worry, Host, leave it to me!"
In the nighttime, Yun Ran donned a black robe, completely concealing herself in the darkness.
Soon, she arrived at the blank spot on the map.
Having the map’s benefit allowed Yun Ran to navigate Moonlight City’s traps easily, even with closed eyes.
"Book Collection Tower?"
Gazing at this rarely visited place, Yun Ran’s brows furrowed slightly.
Surveying the surroundings, she noticed no traces of anyone patrolling.
Yun Ran cautiously stepped onto the steps, each step taken with utmost care.
But soon, Yun Ran swore a dirty word, for she had fallen for a trap.
Despite being so cautious, she unwittingly fell into a trap within the Book Collection Tower.
Ginsengfruit, staying inside Yun Ran’s room, initially could still sense Yun Ran, but suddenly, the connection was severed.
Even the Little Paperman exclaimed suddenly, "Boss, I can’t sense the master anymore!"
Ginsengfruit hurriedly stood up, instinctively transforming into Yun Ran’s appearance, and headed to the balcony.
His gaze cast in the direction where Yun Ran disappeared.
He felt somewhat anxious, but didn’t panic, believing Yun Ran wouldn’t be in trouble regardless.
Should real trouble arise, Yun Ran had plenty of survival aces up her sleeve, nothing to worry about.
Yet, he subconsciously muttered, "I wonder when Elder Qing Yangzi will finish his business."
