Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1245

Shannon, currently the topic of the mystic arts community, was calmer than everyone. After confirming Thalia was in the alternate world, Shannon returned to her place and interrogated Tortoise the System.

Having absorbed Alaric's black smoke, Tortoise the System was still floating in the air. Faced with Shannon's interrogation, it no longer felt as timid and insecure as before.

In fact, it even considered renegotiating with her. "It's not that easy to smuggle a living soul from the alternate world. If you need my help, you'll need to show some sincerity."

She suppressed her impatience and asked, "Like what?"

The system wandered its eyes around, then floated toward her with the help of the black smoke. "You know how I lack energy now. If you wish to smuggle a soul from the alternate world, you'll have to transfer me some fortune."

Although the black smoke contained energy, the system preferred the energy from fortune. If Shannon became its host and shared her fortune with it, it wouldn't mind transferring a living soul from the alternate world for a body takeover.

However, Shannon would have to find the body to carry the new soul herself, just like what Cecily did to Caleb and Marie previously, the system conspired.

Shannon neither promised nor turned the system down. "I want to smuggle a living person from the alternate world, not a soul. If I transfer my fortune to you, can you do it?"

She learned from Reuben that Thalia had most likely accidentally entered the alternate world. That was also the reason why she could only temporarily return to this world by borrowing Fennec's body.

Shannon believed the system might have a way to bring someone who had mistakenly entered the alternate back to this world, considering it had smuggled souls before.

As for the conditions mentioned… It could bring them up as much as it wanted, but she wouldn't entertain them. All she wanted was to pry some information.

Forced to submit once again under Shannon's pressure, the system sounded noticeably more serious this time. It no longer hesitated or avoided questions like before. Instead, there was a resigned, almost reckless quality to its words.

"The so-called alternate world, to be precise, is another parallel dimension of this world. I don't know who'd accidentally entered the alternate world, but over there, each individual exists separately.

"No two people of the same identity can coexist in the same world. Therefore, by the same logic, no one can bring a complete person from one world to another."

The system paused before adding, "Unless that person isn't human!"

Shannon fell silent. As much as she refused to believe, after many clues, it pointed to the possibility that Thalia might not be human after all.
