Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1348

"Thank you… for freeing me."

After the female ghost's gaze swept over Shannon and Hank, she decisively ignored the latter and expressed gratitude toward the former.

Faced with the female ghost, who had passed for at least a decade, Shannon asked, "Tell me about your story. Who's that foreign spy you mentioned?"

The ghost revealed a look of fury. "His name is Sylvan Vargas!"

…

The female ghost was Mackenzie Gabrielson. She, too, used to be a student at Seastone University. In her sophomore year, she dated a graduate student, Sylvan.

They shared similar interests, had comparable knowledge, and had been dating for over two years, even making plans to marry after graduation. However, she never imagined that her boyfriend was secretly in contact with a neighboring country, Krovia.

Initially, she thought she was overly suspicious, but as she secretly observed and investigated, she uncovered more and more clues.

She originally planned to gather evidence and report him, but unexpectedly, he discovered her investigation midway and… ultimately had her killed.

Sylvan buried her body in the grove. Perhaps out of fear that she would come back to seek vengeance, he consulted a sorcerer from Krovia, and following the sorcerer's instructions, he used white paper string and talismans to encircle her body.

For the next decade or so, Mackenzie's soul was trapped within that circle, unable to break free. Until last night, the array that bound her mysteriously seemed triggered by some force, opening a gap.

She immediately seized the opportunity and escaped.

"I don't know what happened, but when I woke up, I was in his dorm room." Mackenzie pointed at Hank.

He instinctively stepped aside, terrified to be pointed by a ghost like that.

On the other side of the line was Calvin from Seastone PD. He led a group of officers to the campus entrance and reported to her his location.

Shannon stated, "I'm in the grove near the campus, and the other spy that needs to be captured is a professor here named Sylvan Vargas… He's one of the suspects you identified in the student mass suicide case."

His eyes lit up once he heard the target had been located. "Leave it to me! I'll deploy forces over there and subdue him."

Not long after she hung up the phone, Calvin arrived with another two officers. Their righteous aura was so strong that as soon as they approached, Mackenzie instinctively moved behind a tree to avoid them.

Shannon pointed to the spot where she had been earlier—the circle formed by the white paper string.

After explaining the situation, Calvin immediately led his team to start digging.

When the university officials arrived upon hearing the news, they witnessed the officers unearthing a skeleton from the ground. They were so shocked that they nearly passed out on the spot.
