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

Chapter 285 Hiding Things: He's a Professional!
Having changed her strategy, Yunran didn't want to get involved in the mess herself, so she sent the little paper doll away.

The little paper doll disappeared in a flash, and Yunran felt relieved: "Alright, now you can enjoy your trip in peace."

In the afternoon, Yunran once again felt her legs were as weak as noodles. Her gaze swept up and down at the ginseng fruit that had just gotten off the back of the bicycle.

"I suddenly realized that you really know how to enjoy life."

The ginseng fruit paused for a moment, then silently lowered its head, looking quite pitiful.

“Host, you know this is my first time being human, and I've never had any family since I was little…”

Yun Ran felt as if countless tiny black dots were floating above her head, and she looked at the ginseng fruit with disdain. "Such a dog-like personality, it's a pity he's a human."

"You've actually started acting, huh? Should we just send you into the entertainment industry to be a child star?"

Sensing Yunran's disdain, the ginseng fruit immediately became obsequious: "Hehe, host, I was just joking."

Having learned her lesson from the trouble she had at the temporary reception center, Yun Ran is now determined to avoid taking those sparsely populated paths.

Now, even just seeing a small county town with a bit of activity makes Yunran feel like she's finally coming out of seclusion.

I found a hotel with a decent environment and settled in. In the middle of the night, I heard someone knocking on the door.

Yun Ran didn't even open her eyes before pulling the blanket over her head.

But the knocking seemed determined to get back at Yunran. Ginseng Fruit, who was sleeping in the next bed, rubbed his eyes, sat up, and headed straight for the door.

There was a small paper figure pasted on the door. When it saw the ginseng fruit coming over, the paper figure immediately came to life and flew down from the door.

The paper figures and ginseng fruits both belong to the category of magical artifacts; they can communicate smoothly even without speaking.

There were small paper figures pasted on the door and windows. The room where Yunran was located was comparable to a safe fortress.

However, while it was safe, it didn't block out nearby sounds, so these knocking sounds could still be heard.

Ginseng Fruit was now full of energy, its eyes filled with doubt: "You mean, someone knocked on the door on purpose?"

The little paper figure nodded quickly.

If its owner hadn't instructed it not to show itself or scare people, it would have wanted to give that person a good beating when they kept knocking on the door.

Although separated by a door, Ginseng Fruit's eyes flickered, and a faint blue light emanated from them.

Then, the door that had been blocking his view now seemed to be transparent.

A person was lurking suspiciously at the door, their entire head covered except for their eyes.

But the ginseng fruit still recognized the person.

Isn't he one of the young people the host met in the small town where he bought the car? How did he end up with them?
They were on completely different routes, and several days had passed, yet they still managed to run into each other here.

Although Ginseng Fruit disliked them somewhat, he wouldn't make any decisions for Yunran.

After thinking for a moment, I decided to communicate with Yunran via the system voice: [Host, those annoying guys you encountered before have come knocking on your door.]

Yunran, who was fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes when she heard the sound of the ginseng fruit, though her eyes were still a little blurry.

But only for a moment, and Yunran's eyes regained their clarity.

The knocking continued, as if they wouldn't give up until they got their hands on the door.

Yunran waved her hand, and the little paper figures immediately hid, while the ginseng fruit obediently sat by the wall.

The door was flung open. The person who knocked seemed to see a glimmer of hope; without saying a word, Yun Ran slipped inside. Yun Ran: ...

Luckily, she was skilled and brave; anyone with a weaker constitution would have been terrified to see someone like that rush in.

"What do you want to do!"

Seeing Yun Ran's calm face, the man's panic lessened somewhat.

He ripped off his mask, revealing a face that he had met Yun Ran once before.

It was the same young man who had helped Yunran before.

"Excuse me, my name is Shang Huai, I'm a student at Peking University, and I've run into a little trouble..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Ran interrupted him: "If you're in trouble, shouldn't you call the police? Why are you looking for me? I'm not a policeman."

Besides, I'm just a helpless little girl. Aren't you afraid your troubles will bring me utter ruin?

Although Yunran is not a pushover who will help everyone.

But if you see an innocent person in real danger, it's not a problem to lend a helping hand.

However, Yunran detests people who deliberately try to provoke trouble and shift blame to protect themselves.

Shang Huai was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting that a young girl could say such cold and harsh words.

However, he was only momentarily distracted before quickly returning to normal.

He quickly took a strangely shaped stone from his bag and stuffed it into Yunran's hand.

"I know that whatever I say now will make you think I have ulterior motives, but I can't trust anyone right now."

This stone is a matter of life and death for many people. I've already asked my family for help; I just beg you, please take this stone away.

After saying that, the man immediately put on the hood, turned around, and ran away.

This scene not only baffled the ginseng fruit, but also left Yunran somewhat bewildered.

"What's going on? Host, is this person crazy? He doesn't trust the police, but he trusts you?"

Yunran looked at the stone in her hand and judged it by its appearance.

Well, it was nothing special, but she could sense that the man named Shang Huai valued this stone very much.

"No, he doesn't trust me. He's just desperate and taking a gamble. He's using me as a mule to transport goods!"

Remembering what Yunran had said before that those young people would be in big trouble, Ginseng Fruit suddenly felt that the stone in Yunran's hand was very unlucky.

"Host, how about we just throw this thing away?"

It's said that those with a strong sense of curiosity die young. Yunran wasn't interested in other people's secrets and simply tossed the item to the ginseng fruit.

"This thing probably has some special markings that make it recognizable or identifiable. I'll leave it to you to handle!"

The ginseng fruit didn't understand why its host was willing to get involved again, but it wasn't a walking encyclopedia of questions.

He took a huge cannon barrel directly from his armory, threw the items into the barrel, and then stuffed the items back into the armory.

With this double 'protection', even if other systems exist in this small world, they will never be able to find this stone.

He's a pro at hiding things!
