Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1300

Back in Jamborough School of Mystic Arts, Shannon answered Charlotte's question and swiftly created a paper figure from parchment paper. At the same time, she grabbed a cinnabar pen and scribbled a sigil onto it.

Everyone witnessed her every move from the projection on the podium clearly displayed before them. Within five minutes, she completed a paper figure, with a sigil that none had seen before.

"This is an improved version of my previous paper figures." Shannon explained, "A small amount of spiritual energy is infused into the paper figure, and it only gets activated under specific circumstances, such as when it senses the surge of violent energy in a person."

Mortals differed from spirits and demons. The murderous energy of a mortal might be hard to detect, but the violent energy wasn't.

Shannon had once analyzed that when a mortal's violent energy continuously escalated, it was easy for them to develop murderous energy. It was what people commonly referred to as being blinded by resentment.

Thus, she used the surge of violent energy as the trigger to activate the paper figures, and the sigil on them was a form of absolute command.

She targeted individuals whose violent energy levels had surged too high and stopped them. Since the paper figures had limited combat abilities, she had added an additional illusion into the sigil.

This illusion wouldn't inflict any physical or mental harm on the person, but it could control their movements for at least ten minutes, which was the crucial response time Shannon aimed to buy for the people around and even for the police.

When Charlotte and her fellow students heard Shannon's explanation, they became wildly excited. "Does that mean those paper figures become a new form of shielding talismans?"

"Shielding talismans can only be used on an individual, while those paper figures can be used on a group. You can say it acts like stone gargoyles."

Stone gargoyles were made to ward off evil spirits, while the paper figures were used to drive away the wrongdoers.

"If we can quickly deploy these paper figures to the entrances of various schools in Westfield District, no matter where the mass murderer appears next, we'll be able to subdue them in time!"

Everyone agreed that was the best solution they had for now, and Shannon certainly didn't disappoint them. "That's right."

She continued, "That's why, three days ago, following Hector's suggestion, with the Special Security Agency's production and government arrangement, there are at least two security paper figures stationed at the entrances of all schools and institutions in Jamborough."

"Damn, this is impressive!"

"Did the Special Security Agency get involved?"

"I can only imagine how secure and safe I'll feel if I have two paper figures like them."

"My heart immediately sank when the man dashed over to the kids. Thank you, mystic arts! Thank you to the officers who rushed over at first instance!"

"That… is perhaps the true purpose of mystic arts."

Not just to bust ghosts, but to use more effective methods to help more people avoid harm.
