Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 998

With the collective effort of the five ghosts, the spinning carousel visibly slowed down.

Kai was unfamiliar with mystic arts and spells but was genuinely impressed. He was surprised to know ghosts could be utilized this way.

Besides, he was familiar with the concept of five ghosts. Not only that, but the spell appeared… different.

No one else witnessed the supernatural scene. All the crowd knew was that the carousel had slowed down after Shannon cast a spell.

Instantly, the other families were both in awe and shock. It was no wonder the Jensens heavily indulged Shannon. Had they been in their shoes, they would've done the same! Who wouldn't want to look after and favor such a capable mystic master?

Those with family members on the carousel soon forgot to express their complaints and quietly watched the platform decelerate to its initial speed. At last, the carousel appeared to be halting.

The riders and spectators were delighted, while some were impatient and jumped off the carousel before it stopped.

While the men, dressed in suits, could easily move around, the ladies wearing gowns and high heels had a hard time alighting. Though anxious, they had no choice but to wait for the carousel to halt completely.

Seconds before it happened, the ladies lifted the hems of their gowns, ready to descend from their pumpkin carriage and ride horses. In the meantime, Hector had instructed the staff to assist the riders.

It was then things changed abruptly. A cloud of black smoke appeared out of thin air and drafted along the edge of the carousel like a wind. As soon as it hit the five ghosts, their ghastly energy began to disperse.

Shannon's expression turned solemn. She ignored her broken mudra and spell and swiftly shouted at the descending riders, "Everyone, stay still and hold tight!"

Meanwhile, Adam's countenance darkened greatly. When Hector jumped in, he had already questioned the staff harshly, "Didn't you cut off the power?"

The staff's voice carried hints of grievance. "I did…"

Right when the speed decreased to a stable frequency, they had already switched off the power as instructed by Hector. But… How did the carousel gear up without power? Had they been haunted?

Shannon ignored the reactions around her. When the black smoke appeared, she immediately deduced Ziva and her fellow evil master were behind the whole incident.

There was no trace of negative energy surrounding the carousel, and its malfunction could only be caused by her power of words.
