Yun Ran smoothly arrived at the location without any mishaps along the way.
"Didn’t expect Heavenly Dao to be so good at timing. When it’s ti for serious business, it never drags its feet."
Ginsengfruit also realized belatedly that the Heavenly Dao in this world of the book didn’t seem to be so unreasonable after all.
From a distance, Yun Ran already saw people coming excitedly towards her.
Only to hear soone bad-mouth her.
"Boss, you didn’t say our backup was a little girl, it’s really dangerous here!"
Behind Shen Zhe, there were four other n, all of whom widened their eyes suddenly when they saw Yun Ran.
Yun Ran imdiately beca unhappy, sure enough it was Shen Zhe’s n, with questionable EQ.
Shen Zhe had not actually seen Yun Ran’s abilities before, but considering what Director Xie said, they should call on Yun Ran for any dangerous missions in the future.
Director Xie wasn’t a Xuann person, but without him holding the reins for so many years, these capable but not articulate people would have had their credit snatched by others in the bureau with connections.
So, to these capable but tongue-tied people, Xie Xuzhi was the most reliable person, and soone he sent was definitely not there just to gain rits.
"Cut the crap and get to work!"
The n who were just making a fuss pulled out their Magic Artifacts, the tools of their trade, and Yun Ran saw that they were all pretty decent.
The man beside her got anxious seeing Yun Ran look sowhat foolish.
They were used to risking their necks for their job, and the last thing they wanted was a useless teammate.
"Little girl, what are you dazed for, hurry up and bring out your Magic Artifact!"
Being called a little girl twice in a row, Yun Ran felt she needed to give these people a shock, lest they keep shouting commands at her.
"My na is Yun Ran, not little girl. Also, a true master isn’t just soone who wields a divine weapon; those who can kill with a plucked leaf, now they are the real deal!"
Saying so, Yun Ran didn’t keep things to herself and directly drew a couple of Substitute Talismans in the air and struck them onto the bodies of the people present.
Since they looked like they might run into so bad luck.
"What I’ve just drawn are Substitute Talismans. Though I don’t know your abilities, with these talismans, consider them as an extra life, my welco gifts for you all!"
The people present were all genuinely skilled, and they recognized good work; Yun Ran’s actions just now completely subdued them.
Shen Zhe began to check himself and indeed found the activated Substitute Talisman inside his body.
"Holy shit, that’s aweso! Yun Ran, right? To whom did you apprentice, that you can draw talismans in the air, and even high-level Talismans like Substitute Talismans..."
"To draw a talisman, especially a high-level one, to make one successful talisman out of tens is already masterful, and you managed to draw them in mid-air, succeeding every ti..."
"..."
Now, Yun Ran couldn’t believe the talk about straight n having low EQ. When it ca to topics they were interested in, they could nag more than flies!
Yun Ran could only frown and say, "Shut up!"
The noisy n finally shut up, but their eyes shifted from a veiled disdain to sparkling admiration when they looked at Yun Ran.
As for Shen Zhe, he thought deeper and swept a stern gaze over his n.
"Everything today, you better swallow it down, anyone dares to expose Yun Ran’s abilities out there, don’t bla for being ruthless!"
As those people said earlier, anyone who could make one successful high-level talisman out of tens would already be a genius.
If soone like Yun Ran was discovered by the wrong people, it would surely attract huge troubles.
Only Director Xie could protect her, but it’s easier to dodge a pointed spear than a hidden arrow. Yun Ran was still young and needed ti to grow, being hired as a special consultant was just right, not too conspicuous.
Now, Shen Zhe seed to understand why Director Xie had sent Yun Ran under his command; it was hiding in plain sight!
These people were just low in EQ, not low in IQ; evidently, they understood the boss’s intentions.
"Yes, boss!"
Having witnessed Yun Ran’s skills and received her welco gift, they imdiately accepted Yun Ran as one of their own.
They then started discussing the task at hand. Ever since Yun Ran knew him, Shen Zhe’s face was not very expressive, as if he was soone who had severed all ties with emotion.
But now, his furrowed brows indicated that the mission this ti must be tricky; otherwise, he wouldn’t have called for Yun Ran.
"Last week, a sketching team ca here in search of inspiration. Thirteen people in total, after entering this newly built mall, they disappeared.
The school reported it to the police, and the police sent people to investigate, but eventually, even those policen disappeared.
Later, civilian and official search teams disappeared here too, both search teams included mbers from the Taoist Association or Buddhist Association..."
Although it looked quite large here, several groups of people had vanished one after the other, leaving no trace of life or death, it’s no wonder this case got forwarded to the managent bureau.
At this mont, Yun Ran’s expression was also not looking great, feeling that the task was probably a bit tricky. She glanced at the halted construction of the mall behind Shen Zhe but did not see anything special.
Shen Zhe continued, "The higher-ups demand that even if those people are all dead, their bodies must be brought out."
Hearing this, Yun Ran actually breathed a sigh of relief. She was not afraid of leaders with high demands, but rather leaders who ddle without insight.
If they insisted on rescuing everyone intact, Yun Ran would’ve turned around and left on the spot!
They couldn’t find anything on the outside, so they could only go in to explore.
After exchanging looks, the group clenched their Magic Artifacts and walked inside. Yun Ran twisted her neck and followed with much more ease than the others.
Just as they stepped through the main entrance of the mall, nobody saw the rings of energy walls rippling like water, creating waves of patterns.
It wasn’t until they were completely inside that Yun Ran confird that they had entered a special realm.
Apart from Yun Ran, the others, including Shen Zhe, felt a strong pulling force.
With a "bang".
The group slapped onto the ground, unable to control their bodies at all.
"This is a domain, and it’s a Ghost King Level one!"
Shen Zhe, seeing that Yun Ran was unaffected by the pull, would have doubted her identity straight away if she hadn’t been personally arranged by Director Xie.
Yun Ran calmly pulled out an ugly wooden sword from her shabby bag and waved it at Shen Zhe and the others.
The plain wooden sword astonishingly released Sword Qi, and Shen Zhe’s heart imdiately leaped to his throat.
