The people who ca out had ’annoyed to death’ and ’gotta work overti again’ expressions on their faces.
Apparently, this kind of situation was truly common for these night shift people.
The last person who ca out was carrying a big bucket and a few long-handled brushes.
Previously, anyone who ca to investigate at night would eventually end up being torn apart by the guardian spirits here.
Those guardian spirits just wouldn’t eat these bloodied intruders.
Therefore, these people still had to take on the cleaning duty afterward, which was extra work for them.
Isn’t that annoying?
Decent folks should be sleeping at night, not wandering into such dangerous places.
Don’t they realize that the Moonlight City is so prosperous and can hold down Dark Masters from all directions? Without so tricks, it would have changed hands long ago.
The person leading the way suddenly exclaid, "Why is there no sll of blood?"
According to their experience, when the birds chirped, it ant they needed to clean up the ’battlefield.’
But now, there wasn’t even a hint of blood outside, it was even clean, not a single speck of dirt.
Suddenly, soone had a brain snap and blurted out, "Could it be that the guardian spirits started eating those intruders?"
With those words out, the others who ca out felt a chill run down their spines.
Before, they only found it annoying and didn’t want to work overti; now their expressions suddenly turned a bit fearful.
Obviously, they would rather believe that the guardian spirits changed their taste to eat people.
They didn’t want to believe that soone could evade the guardian spirits’ hunt and escape intact.
Previously, since the guardian spirits didn’t eat people, they naturally had nothing to fear.
But if the guardian spirits really changed their taste now, would those who stayed with the guardian spirits all the ti...
Sotis, so things are better not thought about, because once you do, it could truly frighten you to death.
The people who ca out prepared to clean the ’battlefield’ were imdiately scared, trembling, and their teeth chattering.
"Boss... boss, we... we..."
They had personally witnessed the tragic end of those intruders at the hands of the guardian spirits, dying terribly, and if even the bones were not left...
The leader’s legs were shaking too, but he gave the person who couldn’t speak clearly a slap.
"Keep fear-mongering, and I’ll kill you first!"
Then he looked at the others with a warning face: "Everyone should keep today’s matter to themselves.
We discovered nothing today, and whoever can’t shut their mouth will bear the consequences themselves!"
After speaking, the man forced himself to turn back inside the Sacrificial Tower.
Now, only returning inside the tower provided enough sense of security.
And Yun Ran knew none of this, cautiously erging from a filthy corner.
But her luck seed a bit bad, just as she got out, a trace of Ghost World’s aura leaked out.
The city’s array was triggered imdiately.
Yun Ran: ...
No, previously when she opened the Ghost World rift near that Sacrificial Tower, there was no detection, how co she got discovered when she ca out?
Yun Ran was puzzled, but it didn’t stop her from turning around and running.
Anyway, no one would catch her.
Evading a few chases in succession, Yun Ran finally managed to return to the inn, and as she lay down, there was a knock at the door.
Yun Ran pinched her nose, clearly having the look of soone woken up from a deep sleep: "Who is it~"
Then, Yun Ran tousled her hair roughly a few tis, wearing pajamas, went to open the door.
The door was opened only a crack, enough to poke a head through.
The person knocking, Yun Ran had seen before, it seed this person was the one Elder Kang arranged to surveil her.
"You’re not asleep at this late hour, why are you knocking on my door? If you don’t give a reasonable explanation, I’ll go tell Elder Kang tomorrow!"
Yun Ran’s hair was disheveled, eyes blurry, but her tone was filled with thick anger.
The man glanced at Yun Ran’s appearance, feeling a sudden sting.
The array inside the city was activated, which indicated soone had trespassed.
Although Moonlight City seed like many people were free, they all knew clearly who didn’t need surveillance and who needed to be watched closely.
Yun Ran was evidently on the priority surveillance list, thus, when the city’s array was triggered,
these priority surveillance individuals beca their primary targets for inspection.
Facing Yun Ran’s anger, the man wasn’t particularly embarrassed; he was used to the resentnt from those being surveilled.
The reply just ca out automatically without having to think.
"Soone activated the city’s Defensive Array. Just to ensure safety, we ca to check; once we confirm your safety, we’ll leave you undisturbed."
After speaking, the man thoughtfully reached out and helped Yun Ran close the door.
Yun Ran: ...
Seeing the man’s smooth actions, Yun Ran could only think, the Moonlight City’s overseers really must’ve picked the right talents.
To express surveillance so refreshingly that people have no choice but to suffer silently.
After the person’s footsteps vanished.
The Little Paperman asked, "Master, was the Defensive Array activation because of you?"
Logically, the Master is so skilled; visiting such critical places should be nearly unnoticed, not triggering detection and pursuit.
Yun Ran sighed gently and recounted the recent events.
"I didn’t expect the array inside Moonlight City to be so formidable. It detected you before, and now, even with my concealed aura, it still catches on a bit."
Since mastering the array technique, she hadn’t encountered such an embarrassing mont.
Only an existence as formidable as Junior Master could render her so exposed.
Realizing that there’s soone in Moonlight City with superior array skills, Yun Ran instantly humbled down.
"Looks like I’ll have to let Er Dan investigate a bit later."
Finally recalled by Yun Ran, Er Dan was currently lying quietly among a pile of fresh grass.
Its mouth was like a bottomless pit, eating continuously, showing no signs of slowing down.
This prompted the person responsible for bringing grass to exclaim, "It eats way too much; this grass could serve quite a few cattle and horses for several nights!"
Yet he dared not skimp on Er Dan’s feed, fearing that if not full, Er Dan would go on a rampage and tear the place down.
