Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1524

The massive underworld bell in the towering ghost building's grand hall rang once again.

Eddie shivered uncontrollably as the sound echoed relentlessly in his ears.

20 minutes ago, he'd watched in horror as Olivia suddenly vanished by the window. He'd sprinted down the stairs without a second thought, faster than he'd ever run in his life.

As he reached the ground floor, he didn't pause to catch his breath before dashing out of the lobby.

He had no real power, and the very least he could do was track the ghost building's movements and warn Shannon.

But the moment he stepped out, it was as if he'd entered an entirely different world.

The grand hall now stretched dozens of feet high. Intricate Crisean architecture loomed overhead to form the carved veranda. Two led lacquer staircases twisted upwards leading to countless rooms.

The breathtaking yet eerie sight left Eddie frozen on the spot. For a brief moment, he wondered if this was another illusion cast by O Fox Deity.

But before he could process the thought, a hand yanked him. "What are you standing around for? Run! They're coming!"

Eddie was dragged along as they ran. Who was coming? What was going on?

Just as he was about to ask, he noticed something strange. The person pulling him was not human!

They were floating and drifting swiftly through the air, but their grip on his wrist was firm as they dragged him forward.

Eddie's mind went blank. Was he dead?

Eddie sucked in a sharp breath. Here it was, the classic spirit replacement! He was being targeted!

Having worked with Shannon for several episodes, Eddie knew that he should never respond to a ghost's request.

Words held contract power. The moment he agreed, it'd form a binding contract. And his body would no longer belong to him.

As the thought crossed his mind, he clamped his mouth shut and pretended to be mute. But the ghost moved closer and continued in a sweet voice.

"I promise I won't damage your body. I just need to borrow it for a month. Once I leave this building and finish my business, I'll return it to you.

"I swear!"
