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

Chapter 255 A Niche Track
(Oops, those two extra words in the previous chapter—can I say they were typed accidentally and I forgot to delete them? It wasn't a deliberate punctuation error.) —
Before long, the big shots who had shown off their skills all looked rather grim.

Normally, the accuracy of predicting one's own future is not very high, but they always have some methods.

After several calculations, the result was always just a sliver of hope, and a very slim one at that. What difference was there between that and being sentenced to death?

Qingmu Daoren looked at the others, then at Yunran.

Yunran stopped what she was doing, her face filled with helplessness.

He immediately understood that Yunran had figured out the reason and even found the source of hope, but the result seemed to have left her somewhat dissatisfied.

The others weren't stupid either, and they all looked at Yun Ran, but because their attitude hadn't been very good before, they didn't dare to ask her now.

Abbot Jiechen chuckled and took the initiative to speak: "Young friend Yunran, what have you figured out?"

"We've encountered a very serious problem this time. I can only deduce part of it, but what killed you was your own seven emotions and six desires..."

Someone immediately couldn't hold back any longer and asked directly, "You just said 'you all'? Does that mean you're not included? Does that mean you're the only chance of survival?"

Ginseng Fruit sighed: "They say, 'To be old and not die is to be a thief.' These people, when they should be seeing clearly, pretended to be blind, but now that their own safety is at stake, they're really nitpicking over words!"

Master Qingmu frowned: "Old Cai, don't interrupt young friend Yunran! Let her finish speaking first."

Old Cai felt a bit frustrated, but he could only hold it in. He couldn't afford to confront Aoki head-on. If it were anyone else, he would have already given them a thorough dressing down.

Yunran was interrupted, but she wasn't angry: "I deduced that Layman Lan was the first to get into trouble. In other words, he has already been marked and become the other party's prey."

However, this kind of marking is not some kind of evil power; it only amplifies the various emotions and desires within the human heart.

So none of you noticed anything wrong with him, and even Master Lan himself probably didn't realize anything unusual about himself.

This trouble is less about external forces and more about the fact that the real enemy is yourself. Overcoming your own inner desires is not easy.

After Yun Ran finished speaking, everyone in the car fell silent. If Yun Ran had said something else, they might have had some doubts.

"No wonder all my calculations resulted in death; it turns out, the enemy is ourselves!"

These people, while not necessarily the pinnacle of combat power, are certainly among the few forces capable of killing them all at once.

Even the usually smiling Abbot Jiechen's face turned serious at this moment.

"The force that can bewitch people of our caliber is not to be underestimated. We need to rethink our plans. Let's cancel today's plans for now."

"I agree, it's always good to be cautious, no matter what."

"Speaking of which, young friend Yunran, why has the only chance of survival fallen upon you? Could it be that you won't be bewitched by this power?"

The person speaking had a sincere and inquisitive look on their face, without the slightest hint of sarcasm, which made it difficult for Daoist Qingmu to take sides.

Yun Ran glanced at the person who spoke, her face completely dejected. This lack of vitality didn't mean she could win by doing nothing.

"My luck was stolen and my fate was changed. Now I am destined to be abandoned by heaven, although I have a way to temporarily make myself like a normal person."

But this fate of being abandoned by heaven still follows you like a shadow. Simply put, you are a hot commodity in the face of that unknown force, while I am nothing but stinking dog shit to it.

Do you think it would even bother with me, this stinking dog shit, with you guys being so coveted?

It even felt that I wasn't worthy of entering its territory; my chance of survival was something it had rejected and kicked out. Everyone: ...

Wow, this is the first time I've ever heard of someone with a fate as terrible as dog poop actually having a chance to survive. What a niche market!

Qingmu Daoren now understands why Yunran has a melancholy aura.

Anyone who calculates that they are living because of a terrible fate would be speechless.

I wanted to say a few words of comfort, but I didn't know what to say.

The Northwest Branch boss has already started ordering the drivers to turn back; they need to go back and revise their strategy.

In addition, Yunran's rubbish theory gave them a new perspective. Hmm, they should study it carefully.

As for Layman Lan, he was now surrounded by people.

"Old Lan, it's not that we're being heartless, but you have important leads on you now, so we need to keep a closer eye on you."

Layman Lan: ...

I have a million grievances in my heart, but I find it hard to speak them out.

But he could only nod stiffly: "Okay."

However, he was also a little uneasy, as he didn't even know when he had been marked.

He even gave a strange, inexplicable smile. Ugh, I can't think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more creepy it feels.

Yunran also sighed silently. She was really worried. This fate made her feel like she had swallowed a fly.

It was supposed to be a glimmer of hope, but she was instead rejected and kicked out, which really annoyed her.

However, isn't this also due to her unlucky fate? Otherwise, how could she have encountered such a bizarre 'enemy' who even looked down on her?
With a fate destined to be abandoned by heaven, whatever she does will bring some kind of retribution—either injury or being irritated.

It seems that she has been punished again for dealing with the Yang family before.

Even though she didn't use any mystical methods, Heaven was unreasonable and thought she was a bad person who had done bad things.

Isn't this a case of hating the house because of the crow? Whatever she does, whether it's good or bad, she's always the one in the wrong.

She claimed she was here on a business trip, but in reality, she was just trying to avoid trouble and take a short trip. Logically, it should have been a leisurely and easy job.

But bad luck just had to fall on her head, and all these unlucky guys ended up together, oh my god.

【Host, I feel something is wrong. Logically speaking, even if you are destined to be abandoned by heaven, you can still gain merit. This is contradictory.】

Even if Heaven dislikes you, it wouldn't keep treating you as a thorn in its side forever. Is it possible that you've actually been taking the blame for others all along?

It's no wonder the ginseng fruit thinks this way; in its view as a system, all energy is conserved.

If the host's fate is already predetermined, then the golden light of merit on the host's body can always reduce some of the aversion value.

The host's misfortunes should have decreased, but after so long, the host's misfortunes seem to have not decreased, which is very unreasonable.
