The Jensen residence was eerily quiet, considering it was daytime. Everyone went on their day without making any noise.
Even Eva, the youngest in the family, having experienced the ordeal, knew to stay by the adult's side obediently and not make a scene.
She didn't know what had happened exactly, but she knew Shannon had fallen into a deep slumber.
It had been a day since The Rift, and both the government and the mystic arts community were working on the follow-up matters.
The government was focused on calming the public and restoring stability, while the mystic arts community was investigating and clearing any remaining traces of the Ghost Mist Organization.
Everyone was busy in an orderly manner.
As for the events of yesterday, some people on the MysticApp forum had recorded the details. It was well-known that Shannon killed one of the Ghost Mist elders leading the operation this time, thus resolving The Rift.
As for the fortune that had been restored, the official statement from the Special Security Agency was: "The National Dragon Vein made an intervention."
People in the mystic arts community had heard of the Crisea National Dragon Vein, but no one knew exactly where it was or what it looked like.
Only a few were aware that the National Dragon Vein had taken shape and started walking the world over a thousand years ago. But most of the time, it had been in a deep slumber.
It was only when the country's great events shook the hearts of the people that it would be awakened, responding to the call.
Few had seen its true form, and even fewer knew its name. They typically referred to it as The Enigma.
If words were true, it was very likely it had intervened to protect the Seastone's fortune.
While they had rejoiced in the protection of the Dragon Vein, they hadn't known that its awakening had signified the disappearance of someone.
…
Shannon seemed to return to the moment she had been sitting with Benjamin on Kai, overlooking Seastone City's fortune.
Her heart raced, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and familiarity with the mountains before her.
Suddenly, the wind swept through the peaks, and her entire body was drawn into the deepest part of the mountains. She passed through layer after layer of towering ridges, through mist and clouds.
In the midst of the fog, she vaguely saw a figure lying in the heart of the mountains. They seemed to be peacefully sleeping.
Shannon instinctively tried to see more clearly, but suddenly, as if pulled by an invisible force, she was quickly drawn away. She abruptly opened her eyes from the dream.
Around her was the familiar energy of Thalia's barrier. The area around her bed had been sealed with a protective barrier.
Inside the barrier, Tortoise the System, Benji Gold, and Marshmallow were each lying near her bed, giving the impression that they were about to surround her. Almost as soon as she woke up, the little ones immediately began to move.
"Shannon, you're finally awake!" Then came the system's furious voice.
