Maybe they had something that could withstand the erosion of the sound?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If thinking this way, Yun Ran found it reasonable that she couldn’t find anything related to the sound here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, within the Zhou Family Mansion, there was inherently nothing related to that sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Zhou Family house, there was nothing resembling a Magic Artifact either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran’s gaze tightly focused on the modest-sized courtyard—at this moment, she felt she might be close to the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was definitely something in this courtyard with an effect akin to an exorcising Magic Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And such an item was either limited in its effect or incomplete, protecting only the Zhou Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran leaned against a pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced toward the Zhou Family house again, wondering when these rookies would figure it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, perhaps she wouldn’t need to step in personally; they might be able to find the item themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked away second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who went to explore the sound’s spread returned, panting heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicated that he had run the whole way during his investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether to save time or because the eerie wailing had frightened him wasn’t clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the man entered the Zhou Family house, the Little Paperman returned to Yun Ran’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I listened carefully just now. The sound has similar decibel levels in every corner, with no peculiarities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, one could locate the origin of a sound by its decibel level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Little Paperman had measured, and the sound was consistent in every area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This prevented it from tracing the sound’s source based on volume levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Paperman felt somewhat defeated by this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran could obviously sense the Little Paperman’s mood and pat its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, if your master can’t figure out the situation here, isn’t it normal that you can’t find the source?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Paperman, initially downhearted, realized its master was right. No matter how capable it was, it couldn’t surpass its master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, its mood lifted immediately. It was only right that it couldn’t compete with its master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the house, the others turned their eyes to the returned investigator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling a bit uneasy under so many gazes, the man tried to compose himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what did you find out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man took a few deep breaths to steady himself before responding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, I’ve figured it out: this sound is only present in this alley. I checked both ends of the alley,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and even inspected the nearby houses connected to this alley. Only the households here can hear it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his words, the others fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the same confused expression appeared on each individual’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they’ve encountered plenty before, they’ve never come across a sound restricted to a specific area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was their first mission, so why was it so hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only young girl in the team spoke up: \"Brother, maybe we should contact the master. I feel something unusual here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the others recalled their elder’s advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they left, the sect elder had mentioned that if they encountered issues they couldn’t handle, they could ask for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was their first mission, and asking for help so soon felt embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don’t we continue investigating since we’ve yet to understand what’s happening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeking help before identifying the problem seemed minor in comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If word got out to other teams, it might affect their future resource allocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resources in the sect were limited, and even if one of them was a favorite of their elders,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>leaving a stain on their record would make it difficult for their elders to show favoritism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, let’s first clarify the situation here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few immediately decided to spread out and continue investigating; before, they only inspected objects, now they planned to dig up the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran watched as they took out their tools and started digging here and there with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These rookies indeed had a long way to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Yun Ran felt a bit more favorable towards them for not immediately asking for help from their sect elders at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If every little issue prompted them to seek help, there wouldn’t be much to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, are we just going to wait here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it were just us in this alley, I could ensure the owner of the sound wouldn’t notice anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with these rookies, not only have they failed to conceal their presence, but they’ve also created a lot of disturbance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound’s owner will definitely notice something amiss here. I need to be on guard against sudden assault, to avoid these people getting killed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These individuals were evidently inexperienced, and if they got entangled, they might be wiped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Yun Ran hadn’t encountered them, she could’ve ignored it, but now that she had, she couldn’t just stand by and watch them possibly get harmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Paperman suddenly felt that its master was truly the best person in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, you’re so kind~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being given such a compliment, Yun Ran felt goosebumps rise all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it came from her own little one, what could she do? She could only spoil it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, from inside the previously silent Zhou Family courtyard came the sounds of \"woo woo woo... ah ah ah... crackle crackle...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was faint, completely incomparable to the haunting cries outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran: ...\u003C\u002Fp>",1069,"2026-06-06T11:49:19.227Z",1,"novelbin.me","b08f96dc66304ee660ade02003204cc522f2d9447944125953afae3c1b0064c3","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-1073","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-1071",1219,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-cover.jpg"]
