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

Chapter 266 is truly quite reliable (2 updates)
Zhong Lisu wanted to say something, but saw Yun Ran put the rope away and put it in her bag, then look towards the 3 o'clock direction.

He looked over as well. Although it was a bit far away, his eyesight was excellent, the kind that could qualify him to become a pilot.

"Are those people from the Special Administration Bureau?"

Trapped in the illusion, he couldn't pinpoint the exact time, but he knew they had been trapped for quite some time.

It's normal for the Special Administration to track them down.

This was a routine procedure, but for some reason, Zhong Lisu's eyes suddenly felt hot.

He used to be in the position of rescuing others, thinking it was just a job and nothing special.

But now, he was the one being rescued. Looking at his companions coming towards them, he felt a lump in his throat and wanted to cry.

However, these emotions were beyond anyone's consideration, and no one would comfort him.

"Miss Yun, I'm so glad you're alright!"

Yunran didn't recognize the person in charge, but seeing the genuine concern in his eyes, her attitude softened slightly.

"you are?"

"I am Jiang Ming, the head of the Special Administration Bureau's mobile squad. Simply put, I will be wherever I am needed."

Upon hearing the word "mobile squad," Yun Ran immediately wore a knowing expression.

Having followed Xie Xuzhi, she naturally knew which departments within the Special Administration Bureau were Xie Xuzhi's confidants.

The mobile squad in front of us is one of Xie Xuzhi's henchmen.

The mobile squad has considerable power; often, they have the authority to act first and report later, much like the imperial envoys who acted on behalf of the emperor in ancient times.

Since they're on our side, let's skip the unnecessary formalities.

"Now tell me the situation."

Jiang Ming's men, with great foresight, stepped forward and took the nearly exhausted Zhong Lisu away for emergency treatment. At this moment, there were no outsiders present.

Jiang Ming didn't hold back and told them everything that happened after Yun Ran and the others went missing.

"You mean, it's been five days since we went missing, and the second group has also been wiped out?"

"Yes, the disappearance of Master Zhongli has already served as a warning. I have already taken the initiative to activate Plan A. From now on, everyone in the Northwest Branch will cooperate with you unconditionally."

Yunran didn't know what Plan A was, but she knew that having the entire Northwest Branch obey the orders of a temporary worker like herself was no small feat.

If she harbors any malicious intentions, everyone in the Northwest Branch will be wiped out.

Under normal circumstances, Yunran would not have taken on such a heavy responsibility, but now, five days have passed.

Even if the Special Administration Bureau personnel are physically stronger than ordinary people, being trapped in the environment for a long time without food or water, and having to expend their energy fighting, would either be killed by the enemy or simply worn down to death.

"Send people to relocate all the herders and their livestock within a hundred miles of the area. Also, bring over the herder who told you that ancient legend."

Jiang Ming nodded, didn't ask why, and went to do it directly.

This pleased Yunran greatly. What she hated most was being asked to do something and then constantly being asked why.

While Jiang Ming was giving orders to his subordinates, Yun Ran ate something to replenish her energy while closing her eyes to regulate her breathing.

By the time Jiang Ming brought the herdsmen, Yun Ran's fatigue had completely dissipated.

Jiang Ming's men looked at Yun Ran, who was now full of energy, and were somewhat incredulous.

They had just seen Yun Ran's appearance, not to mention that Zhong Lisu, who had returned with Yun Ran, was now lying down and fast asleep. At this moment, they seemed to understand why their boss trusted this Miss Yun so much; she was truly incredibly reliable.

"Sir, could you please tell me that story again?"

The old herdsman was initially a little scared, but now, looking at the soft and cuddly Yunran with her eager expression, all his previous apprehension vanished.

He was worried the whole way. He has no other flaws, except that he can't keep his mouth shut.

But he couldn't control himself, especially when others were willing to listen to his boasting; he would tell them anything.

Because of this, his wife never let him manage his family's money, which made him lose face.

"No problem at all!"

Soon, the old herdsman told the story again, in great detail, as if afraid that he hadn't told it vividly enough.

Yunran quickly found a breakthrough and waited for the old herdsman to finish speaking before looking at Jiang Ming.

"Could you please help me apply for a reward for this clue to this old man?"

"no problem."

The old herdsman never expected that he would actually get paid for simply telling what he knew.

He quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need!"

"Of course, sir, please don't be so polite."

The old herdsman could tell that Yunran was sincere, so he stopped refusing. He wasn't one to be pretentious. However, his gaze towards Yunran became even more loving. He would have to give her a big, fat sheep later!

Jiang Ming had his men send the person back. He hadn't expected Yun Ran to be so thoughtful and empathetic towards ordinary people.

No wonder Director Xie and Gu Yuan are so protective of Yun Ran.

"You all go and investigate the old Taoist priest's whereabouts, I'll go find his grave!"

As she spoke, Yunran stood up and stuffed a lot more food into her backpack.

Jiang Ming considered himself a workaholic, but seeing Yun Ran's decisive and efficient manner, he couldn't bear it.

"Why don't you rest for a while longer?"

Yun Ran shook her head: "No need, I'm fine. Let me know as soon as you find out the information."

As she spoke, Yun Ran took out a small paper figure and placed it in Jiang Ming's hand.

"The illusions here not only affect electronic devices, but also the use of various magical artifacts, and attack the soul."

Remember, do not act rashly. If you cannot contact me, send the little paper doll to find me; it knows where I am!

Before Jiang Ming could speak, the little paper figure spoke first: "Master, rest assured, I will definitely remind them."

Yunran's paper doll is quite famous in the Special Administration Bureau. Having never seen it before, Jiang Ming found it hard to imagine how powerful the paper doll was.

Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he almost lost his footing. The little paper figure swayed for a moment, then steadied itself in mid-air.

Jiang Ming couldn't help but swallow hard. This wasn't just a little paper doll; it was clearly a little helper with intelligence!

Yunran slung her backpack over her shoulder and left, making hand seals as she went. She quickly determined the approximate location of the old Taoist's grave and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ming's subordinates were filled with shock: such a capable person was actually their colleague!
