Chapter 1361 - 1357
The pigeon stood obediently in front of Ginsengfruit, tilting its head and observing for quite a while.
That tiny head seemed to be confirming whether its task was truly complete.
The appearance of the pigeon signaled that the city was safe and could be entered.
Ginsengfruit reached out and stroked the pigeon’s head, starting to understand why the Host always liked to pat the Little Paperman’s head—indeed, the sensation was pleasant.
"Alright, you’ve completed your task."
After saying this, Ginsengfruit pulled out a specially made snack ball for the Little Paperman, and the aroma quickly spread.
The pigeon, which was previously somewhat robotic, immediately became more agile, opening its mouth to eat the snack ball.
Receiving its reward, the pigeon joyfully flapped its wings and flew away.
Ginsengfruit stood up again, walked to Er Dan’s side, and gave it a light kick: "Get ready, we’re entering the city!"
Er Dan stretched its neck in shock, looking at Ginsengfruit with some confusion.
It couldn’t help but complain internally: How can this guy be so capricious? Previously, everything seemed to annoy him, and now suddenly he’s eager to enter the city!
But complaining was one thing; actually confronting Ginsengfruit was another, which Er Dan dared not do.
Er Dan glanced at itself, evidently unsure of what a young creature like itself, which couldn’t even transform, needed to prepare.
As it was thinking this, a ’pop’ sound was heard.
A talisman paper was directly stuck onto it, causing Er Dan to jump in startled surprise.
"What are you doing!!!"
Ginsengfruit merely responded blandly: "It’s a talisman paper to conceal your special aura, and remember, once we leave this array, keep your mouth shut!
If you get discovered speaking like a human and end up captured, don’t blame us for not rescuing you!"
Er Dan: ...
Is that all? Is it really necessary to slap a talisman on me? Am I really that untrustworthy?
Ginsengfruit couldn’t care less about Er Dan’s thoughts, quickly packing everything up and starting to dismantle the array here.
The moment the array became ineffective, the talisman paper stuck on Er Dan flickered.
A barely perceptible sense exploded in Er Dan’s head, restricting it from speaking freely.
Ginsengfruit also attached the same talisman paper to himself, concealing the Puppet aura that lingered on him.
This made the previously indignant Er Dan feel immediately comforted.
If everyone’s doing it, then it’s fine.
"Let’s go."
When they appeared again at the gates of Mei City, the combination of a person and a bird, though peculiar, didn’t raise much suspicion.
Ginsengfruit picked a place to stay several streets away from their base, ensuring that anyone observing wouldn’t find his identity questionable.
After settling Er Dan, Ginsengfruit concealed himself once more, intending to explore near the base.
However, just as he approached, Ginsengfruit abruptly sensed that the closer he got to the base, the tighter the surveillance became.
Under such airtight surveillance, common people would indeed find it hard to move.
But this was evidently not a problem for Yun Ran; otherwise, the pigeon wouldn’t have managed to fly out successfully to send a message.
After finishing the reconnaissance, Ginsengfruit returned to his lodging, calmly awaiting Yun Ran’s next instructions.
