Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1545

Those walking down the street, scrolling through their phones; those driving while listening to the radio; those stuck at highway exits, unable to get out; those anxiously making calls to clients in the office…

These people collapsed without any warning as if they had fallen into a state of unconsciousness.

Upon seeing the others drop one after another, those who hadn't collapsed instinctively felt a rising panic, and soon, they too fell one by one.

Seastone City, already disconnected from the outside world, was plunged into chaos in just a short span of time.

Shannon and the others immediately realized something was wrong and rushed toward the fallen staff. In the meantime, countless more had collapsed.

The livestream chat was filled with panic, but the barrage of comments that had been appearing rapidly began to noticeably slow down.

"What's going on?" Presley, still drowning in the agony of being lied to, saw the collapsing staff and swiftly became horrified.

It was also then that he felt a wave of darkness sweeping over him. Unable to control it, he closed his eyes. The instant he did, they never opened again.

He had fainted, or more accurately, fallen asleep.

"I don't detect any negative energy. What the hell is going on?" Even Mike was alarmed, instinctively holding onto Lexie.

For once, Lexie didn't slap him away but grabbed Heston along instead.

Amid the mysterious chaos, Benjamin's icy voice pierced through the air. "It's the Dreambeast."

She chimed in. "It's because of fear. A Dreameater feeds on dreams, but what it consumes more are the emotions of those within them—pain, fear, confusion, absurdity… That is the nourishment it craves."

The sudden disconnection of Seastone naturally caused widespread panic among the people. This fear, in turn, became a source of nourishment for the Dreambeast.

While it was unclear how it managed to collect emotions that weren't directly from dreams, the immediate priority was to stabilize the remaining conscious individuals and restore a sense of calm to Seastone's citizens.

At that thought, Shannon unhesitatingly looked into the camera and at the remaining staff members on set. "Everybody, stay calm! Keep your heads clear and do not panic! Otherwise, you'll be pulled into a dream soon!"

She stared straight into the camera, her voice filled with unprecedented determination and confidence. "Believe in us when I say that Seastone will be fine."
