Yun Ran looked at the mechanism lock that appeared in the mirror; although she was somewhat surprised, it wasn’t very obvious.

"Host, is this the mechanism at the entrance to the cave?"

However, the mechanism lock in the mirror was of a type they had never seen before.

Ginsengfruit quickly pulled up his database, trying to figure out how to unlock this mechanism lock.

But there was no similar data in the database, which made Ginsengfruit feel a bit defeated, as if he was completely useless.

Ginsengfruit once again felt frustrated; at this moment, he understood why this independent space split from the world in the book was so eerie.

This space not only has a completely independent civilization, but also many mystical techniques stronger than those in the original book world.

At least as far as the Evil Techniques seen now, they are far more powerful than the Xuan Sect legacy seen in the original book world.

Perhaps when this space tore away from the original book world, it preserved some of the lost Xuan Sect inheritance.

Yun Ran knew nothing of what Ginsengfruit was thinking; she curiously looked at the mechanism lock.

"Hmm, this mechanism lock is really not simple; it’s much stronger than the mechanisms I made myself."

You should know that Yun Ran learned those Mechanical Techniques standing on the shoulders of Qingfeng Temple predecessors, her foundation far surpassing many families or inheritances.

Ginsengfruit looked at Yun Ran’s expression; there wasn’t the kind of helpless frustration but rather full of admiration, even a hint of excitement at meeting a worthy opponent.

The worry in her expression relaxed instantly.

"Host, what do we do now? There’s no clue about this mechanism lock..."

Yun Ran’s lips slightly curved, her eyes holding a hint of a smile: "We may not have a solution, but it doesn’t mean there isn’t one for this mechanism lock."

As she spoke, Yun Ran looked at the copper mirror she had already subdued; she had ’pieces’ that could infiltrate the enemy.

The contracted copper mirror instantly felt it was being stared at, making it a bit nervous.

Yun Ran coaxed the copper mirror in the tone of the Big Bad Wolf deceiving Little Red Riding Hood: "Now is the time for you to show your skills. As long as you unlock this mechanism lock for me, I’ll give you freedom, how about that?"

Copper Mirror: ...

Ha~ Do you really think it’s stupid? It’s a copper mirror that many have vied for; what’s so good about freedom?

Although it’s oppressed by Yun Ran now, it doesn’t have to absorb those strange lives anymore.

It’s also a copper mirror with its own aesthetic, right!

[I can help you, but the terms need to be renegotiated. I’ll let you know once I’ve figured them out!]

"Alright, it’s a deal!"

[Alright, place me opposite that guy, and wait for my good news!]

Yun Ran immediately placed the two copper mirrors face to face, and soon, the mechanism lock in the mirror from the water was reflected in the contracted copper mirror.

The mechanism lock that was originally closed seemed to come alive in the copper mirror’s display, starting to unlock automatically.

This scene left Ginsengfruit stunned.

He truly didn’t expect that they could operate like this!

This unlocking process didn’t seem slow at all, but the mechanism lock seemed particularly complex; after a few minutes, it only unlocked one small latch.

And there are at least a hundred similar small latches on the entire mechanism lock, meaning unlocking it will take a significant amount of time.

"Host, if we delay here for too long, we don’t know if it will attract the attention of others..."

Especially now, they’ve stopped the waterfall and even found the copper mirror from the water, unsure if this impacts other places in Moonlight City.

Yun Ran also felt that they couldn’t just wait here; if someone else barged in, it would be troublesome.

"Alright, I’ll keep watch here; you go outside and check, and if there’s trouble, find a way to buy me some time!"

Ginsengfruit quickly nodded: "Okay, Host, I’ll go right now; I definitely won’t let anyone come here to disturb you." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Their worries were indeed not excessive; after stopping the waterfall, some anomalies appeared at the Sacrificial Tower in Moonlight City.

If not for some internal strife in Moonlight City that led to some inherited errors.

Now, those in power in Moonlight City would know the issues at the Sacrificial Tower indicate that its most important place has been infiltrated.

Unfortunately, they never realized the place they routinely oversee is the most crucial in all of Moonlight City.

Before Ginsengfruit left, he tied up and locked those poisoned by Yun Ran in a small woodshed nearby.

As for the next batch of people coming for their patrol, they would arrive at night.

This saved Ginsengfruit a lot of trouble.

Upon leaving the area, Ginsengfruit summoned the Little Paperman.

Originally, when Ginsengfruit was participating in the selection contest as Yun Ran, he left the Little Paperman to monitor those people so it could promptly react to any anomalies.

The Little Paperman heard Ginsengfruit’s call and immediately flashed into his presence.

"Boss, out now!"

After speaking, the Little Paperman looked joyfully behind Ginsengfruit, but naturally didn’t see Yun Ran’s figure.

"Boss, didn’t the master come out with you? Huh, where’s Er Dan? Earlier, during the selection contest, there was an anomaly.

Er Dan didn’t listen at all, directly rushing into the contest; I was almost scared out of my wits trying to pull him out.

Fortunately, when he ran in, nothing irreparable happened; I was so worried he would perish there..."

The Little Paperman had an incredibly strong desire to share, eager to recount everything that happened during the selection contest after Ginsengfruit and Yun Ran entered.

Ginsengfruit wasn’t impatient either; he needed to extract the points he needed from this information.

Before long, Ginsengfruit found a clue he wanted from the Little Paperman’s narrative.

"You’re saying that when the anomaly occurred, half of the high-level members of Moonlight City sitting in the stands left hurriedly?"

The Little Paperman nodded quickly: "Yes, I followed them to see, but when they entered a room, there was the array you mentioned before. I didn’t dare go in, afraid of being discovered!"
