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

Chapter 655 Even more ruthless than the progenitor of capitalists!

Two days later, the things hidden on the island were finally uncovered.

Xie Xuzhi looked at Yun Ran with a hint of guilt on his face: "The underground fortifications beneath this island are very important. Let me find you another property..."

Seeing Yun Ran's expression of no surprise, Xie, the eldest son of the Xie family, who was always known for his ruthlessness, inexplicably felt that he was a terrible person for actually snatching something from a young girl.

In the end, Xie Xuzhi himself stopped talking.

A wave of inner turmoil washed over him. He knew the island couldn't remain under Yunran's name any longer; he had no choice but to offer double the compensation.

When the little paper doll discovered the underground fortifications, Yunran knew that she couldn't keep this island any longer, so she promptly contacted Xie Xuzhi.

"No problem. When it comes to business, I'm very easy to talk to."

Xie Xuzhi: ...

Looking at the smiling Yun Ran, Xie Xuzhi felt that his previous understanding of Yun Ran was very one-sided.

Fortunately, he was a deep and thoughtful person and did not let Yunran see the various struggles in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Xuzhi decided to reveal some of the details.

"All the robots on this island are problematic; they all use special methods to imprison the souls of many animals and enslave them."

According to the information we have obtained, the souls of these animals were merely experimental subjects, and the underground fortifications contain the lingering aura of human souls…”

Xie Xuzhi didn't say anything more, but Yunran already understood the meaning behind his words.

Although I was a little surprised, I wasn't exactly shocked.

When Xuan Chu captured the monkey and fox souls, Yun Ran had already guessed the general direction of the situation and was not surprised.

Needless to say, these were definitely the work of those evil cultivators. It was no wonder that the Zhao family was suppressed back then.

I knew they were colluding with evil cultivators, but I never imagined they would even go so far as to enslave souls like this.

Yun Ran glanced at Xie Xuzhi's obviously tired yet icy eyes, and silently mourned for a second for those in the Zhao family who were still hiding.

Although this era no longer emphasizes collective punishment, those members of the Zhao family who were suppressed back then were only the direct descendants.

But now, with such a big matter involved, the remaining members of the Zhao family will probably never have a peaceful life again.

"I see you're all very busy. I've had enough fun here, so it's time for me to go back. As for the rest, you can have someone contact Xinfu to handle things."

With subordinates under her, Yun Ran naturally couldn't manage everything herself. The reason she kept Xin Fu around in the first place was precisely to have him handle these matters.

Xie Xuzhi was also very busy. He stayed here these days only so that he could mobilize all available resources to investigate what was happening here as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, if any link in the chain were to be neglected or stalled, the whole story of the island's affairs would not have been clarified so quickly.

"Okay, I'll send you back by private jet first..."

Yun Ran waved her hand immediately: "No need, my yacht is still over there. I'm already high-profile enough, I don't want to be noticed anymore."

These words immediately made Xie Xuzhi understand that Yun Ran had guessed that he was going to take action against other members of the Zhao family or related families.

At this moment, he was once again grateful that Yun Ran was on his side; otherwise, having such a smart person as his enemy would have been far too troublesome. "Alright, you can go back now. If anything else comes up, feel free to contact me."

Yunran made an OK sign, then left with Xuan Chu and the little paper doll.

Xie Xuzhi stood there, watching Xuan Chu's back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he inexplicably felt that this person was a bit of an eyesore.

This person used to be very hostile towards Yun Ran, so when did the two of them become so close?

Xie Xuzhi didn't know where the discomfort in his heart came from, but now, he was too busy to have the extra time to find out.

The others watched Yun Ran and the others leave, and once again felt intense envy.

"People used to say that Miss Yun was foolish, that she would regret it sooner or later for leaving the Special Administration Bureau's protection to venture out on her own. But now it seems that Miss Yun will never regret it."

"That's right. As long as you have the ability, you can still win Mr.'s favor even if you're not in the Special Administration Bureau. Who was qualified to be seen off by Mr. in the past?"

"You guys still have the energy to play with crickets? Looks like you're really not tired. Keep working!"

A series of wails suddenly rang out. They were made of flesh and blood; how could they not be tired? They were almost exhausted to death.

This has been going on for several days in a row. I can only close my eyes and rest for two or three hours each day. Now I really want to sleep even in my dreams.

Looking at the hollowed-out robot not far away, at that moment, they suddenly seemed to understand the purpose of those evil cultivators in creating these robots.

Those souls don't need to rest at all; they can be used as perpetual motion machines simply by being stuffed into robots.

The key is that those souls still have self-awareness. If they succeed in messing with them, they can be treated as robots that have developed self-awareness, and their destructive power would be astonishing.

As for what the soul will eventually become, probably no one cares. If the soul is scattered, another one will be stuffed in.

Tsk tsk tsk, they're even more ruthless than the progenitors of capitalism!

On the other side, Xuan Chu and Yun Ran, who had just boarded the yacht, were also discussing this matter.

Xuan Chu drew out the talisman he had 'seen' on the robot and handed it to Yun Ran.

"Tell me, what exactly are those heretical cultivators trying to achieve by doing all this?"

Yun Ran picked it up and examined it carefully before saying, "What else can it do? Since ancient times, those who cultivate evil ways have always been in hiding, and their numbers are always limited."

Their origins are nothing more than those who were inherently impure-minded, or those who went astray. It can be said that the decline of evil cultivators is even more severe than that of orthodox Xuanmen.

At any time, people are the most important element of development; these robots are nothing more than obedient puppets…

Regarding the matter of heretical cultivation, as long as there is even a hint of it, all you need to do is think about the worst-case scenario.

Yun Ran glanced at the talisman again: "If I'm not mistaken, this talisman can not only force the trapped soul to do things."

It can also gradually devour all the emotions of those souls, turning them into mere tools!

Xuan Chu paused for a moment, then said in a somewhat unpleasant tone, "According to you, if they really succeed, it's probably not just ordinary people who will suffer in the future."

Robots are already made of copper and iron, so if the soul of a person from the Xuanmen sect is trapped inside, the danger this robot puppet could cause is unimaginable.
