Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1079

Hank thought his situation was highly similar to Shannon's. At that possibility, he dreaded staying another second in his room.

He still remembered how Cecily had stuffed a doll with blood between his headboard. Who knew what else she had hidden inside his room?

Without hesitation, Hank looked for Shannon. He caught her at the foyer in time, and she was ready to head out.

Standing in the foyer, she listened to him solemnly recounting the incident of missing raw stones and the camera losing signals, but her expression remained calm.

"So, you suspect there's something supernatural in your room. Did your protective emerald pendant react, then?"

Her question made him realize he should've checked it earlier. He quickly pulled out his protective emerald pendant, suspended by a red thread, from under his collar, but the emerald remained clear as ever, just like before.

"It's good as new."

Not only that, but he also hadn't noticed anything strange with it for the last few nights. The only time he removed the emerald pendant was when he showered.

In other words, he wore it during his sleep, and the pendant didn't react.

"So, did I overthink this?" Hank scrunched his brows, doubting himself for a moment.

Shannon glanced at him and narrowed her eyes slightly in deep thought. "Not really."

She continued softly, "Aside from ghosts or supernatural entities, it could be other stuff."

After learning about the details, Shannon had a good guess of what had happened.

She refrained from disclosing it to Hank and proposed, "I suppose it'd return to steal more raw stones. If that's the case, let's wait for it tonight."

The online users initially paid no heed to it. After all, posts like this were mostly baseless and designed simply to gain attention.

Some even mocked him for telling such a disjointed story and having countless spelling mistakes in his post. In the end, the child posted a video of himself online, proving everyone wrong.

The employees from the Special Security Agency, tasked with verifying the credibility of requests, detected faint negative energy around the child. As such, they posted the mission on MysticApp.

Tracing the child's IP address led Shannon and Benjamin to a bungalow in an alley of the old neighborhood. Since it was the weekend, Shannon and Benjamin saw the requester playing alone in the alleyway.

From a distance, she noticed the faint negative energy lingering around him. Just as they were about to approach, the gate of the bungalow creaked open, and a woman who resembled his mother stepped out, smiling warmly at him.

Shannon's eyes instantly zeroed in on her. The woman was unmistakably shrouded in negative energy.
