The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1066 There's No Reason to Give Up Halfway (2 Updates)
With a leap, Yun Ran easily jumped into the Zhou family's house.

Looking up, I noticed that the sky above the Zhou family's house was pitch black, without a single star shining through.

At this moment, the courtyard was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

The strangest thing is that the crying sounds that could be heard outside disappeared completely after entering.

Yunran suddenly remembered what the gossipers in the restaurant had said before.

The Zhou family seemed unaffected by the wailing and howling.

Judging from the current situation, the Zhou family really wasn't lying. They were forced to move away, and more than anything, they felt helpless in the face of their neighbors.

Unbeknownst to Yunran, shortly after she entered the Zhou family residence, another group of people arrived.

It was already midnight.

Yun Ran, who was inside the house, didn't hear a sound at all.

But those outside, upon hearing the wailing and howling, almost felt the hairs on their bodies stand on end.

One of the men stammered, "This...this...I..."

After talking for so long, no one could guess what he was trying to say.

The man at the head of the group stared at the Zhou family's gate with narrowed eyes, the magical artifact in his hand already activated.

There were six of them in total, all of them very young.

Judging from their appearance, they seem to be a small team that has come out for training.

Just as the atmosphere became extremely tense, a female voice rang out.

"Senior brother, this place must be very dangerous. Let's go back first..."

The young girl now truly regretted it; she shouldn't have acted impulsively and accepted the task against everyone's objections.

Although she was the most favored junior sister in the sect, she was also one of the most talented.

However, she really didn't expect to encounter such a tricky problem on her very first day out.

The amulet she was wearing was already faintly warm; it was a treasure given to her by her master.

The man at the head of the group showed no change in expression, not even a flicker of his gaze.

They kept a close eye on the lock on the Zhou family's gate.

"We've already taken on this task, so there's no reason for us to give up halfway."

The mission can fail, but desertion is not an option. Otherwise, they might never have a chance to rise in the ranks of the Xuan Masters again.

If he were just a Xuan Master who was just getting by, that would be fine.

But the man in the lead was clearly someone with his own ideas and a lot of ambition; he didn't want to become a laughing stock.

Upon hearing this, the others had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue.

Fortunately, each of them had something to protect themselves, so even if they were outmatched, they would only be injured, not lose their lives.

"Go open the door!"

Before they came here, they already knew what had happened at the Zhou family mansion, and they even had the key to the Zhou family's gate.

The little paper figure quickly figured out that the wailing and howling sounds did not directly harm the people nearby.

However, this sound will only intensify their fear, drain their energy, and make them gradually become haggard.

As for the range of the sound, it was contained within the alley.

Based on the characteristics of sound propagation, this is clearly very unreasonable.

The little paper figure couldn't understand the key to this, so it could only tell its master everything.

Yunran searched the entire Zhou family's house but found nothing amiss.

At that moment, the little paper figure also entered the Zhou family's house.

"Master, I've found out everything you asked me to investigate." Soon, the little paper figure told Yun Ran everything it had found.

"Oh, right, Master, I have carefully examined those who were most affected, and they are all young and strong people."

If this noise doesn't stop and continues, given their current physical condition...

They have at most a month left, and their lives may not be in danger.

These clues were so scattered that Yunran couldn't connect them in a short time.

With a creak.

Yunran and the little paper doll both looked toward the Zhou family's gate, as they heard the sound of the gate being pushed open.

Before the door was fully pushed open and the people outside came in.

Yun Ran immediately dodged and, using her black robe, concealed herself behind a pillar.

If Yun Ran had entered here in her own name, she would definitely have placed an ignore talisman on her body.

But now that she's using the identity of the man in black robes, there's no need for such trouble.

In any case, Yun Ran is serious about shifting the blame.

Several voices came from the doorway, one of which was clearly trembling slightly.

"Senior brother, are we really going in?"

"How can we figure out what's going on here if we don't go in?"

"I'm a little scared. That sound is really frightening. I have a feeling that there's some kind of monster hiding in this house..."

Yunran: ...

Whether there are monsters or not, she doesn't know, but she has never seen anyone so timid as to accept any kind of mission.

I don't know if he's genuinely fearless, stupid, or just relying on some powerful figure backing him up.

But regardless of who they were, Yunran's first impression of them wasn't very good.

What she hates most are those who like to hold others back and have no self-awareness.

Being around this kind of person increases your chances of getting struck by lightning by lightning by a lot more than with other people.

Soon, those people came in.

But their voices rang out again, this time without panic, but with a hint of surprise.

"Senior brother, all those sounds have disappeared!"

"Could it be that those monsters are afraid of us? So as soon as we came in, they were frightened and didn't dare to come out and cause trouble at all?"

The little paper figure listened intently to what these people were saying, its eyes wide.

It knows that there are many ordinary people in the world.

However, most of these people are filtered out when they are with their owners.

Because a person who is not smart enough cannot stand in front of their master and speak.

But now, it can still hear these ordinary folks spouting nonsense here.

【Master, these people came in through the main gate. Were they hired by those people in this alley?】

Yunran agreed.

However, she felt that these people were definitely greenhorns, otherwise they wouldn't be so careless.

Knowing full well that there was something wrong with the Zhou family's residence, they still dared to swagger in through the main gate.

However, Yun Ran had no intention of standing up and lecturing these people.

You can't teach someone by teaching them; you can only teach them through experience.
