The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Chapter 171 National Special Security Bureau Caius Carew

Upon seeing the skull, Scarlett Jennings’s eyes flickered with a chill.

It seemed both unexpected and expected at the same time.

No wonder, as this skull reminded her of the one encased in a red cocoon found on the rooftop of that abandoned school building when Lucas Jennings and Azura Loomis were in danger.

The same shadow energy emanated from it, with resentful energy as the conduit.

She thought for a moment and took out her phone to call the National Special Security Bureau.

She had a premonition that this skull and the one from the abandoned building’s rooftop were not coincidental; this method of gathering resentful energy to affect the fortune of a whole area felt more like an evil formation.

If this was truly the case, it required official intervention for an investigation.

Ordinary people couldn’t access the National Special Security Bureau’s contact information, but there was a special contact window on the Spiritual Affairs APP.

It was through this that Scarlett reported the incident of someone using an evil technique to borrow bodies earlier in the morning.

Quickly explaining the situation and location, Scarlett hung up, intending to set up an isolation array around the skull before official personnel arrived.

However, just as she lowered her head to prepare, the originally buried blood-red skull seemed to seize the opportunity and suddenly sprang to life.

From inside the skull shot countless filaments like silkworm threads, heading straight for Scarlett as if trying to envelop her entirely.

Yet, at the very moment the silken threads were about to entangle her, Scarlett, as if well-prepared, dodged back while releasing several spirit talismans from her hand, forming an invisible barrier that trapped the mass of threads.

Without hesitation, Scarlett seized the moment the threads were trapped to pull out three thunder talismans from her hand.

Having witnessed the threads’ formidable power, Scarlett did not hold back, immediately unleashing her thunder talismans, the strongest enhanced by the golden light of Master Golden Light.

The three thunder talismans shot out like lightning, forming a triangle over the skull, enclosing it along with the threads.

"Heavenly thunder, rumbling; earthly thunders, dim."

Her voice was a clear and sharp pitch, yet carried the weight of a thousand pounds in every word,

"Above are the six Jia, below are the six Ding, the order from Taishang, to slash the thunder, boom!"

With the final word falling, three strikes of purple thunder accompanied by golden light broke through the clouds, bearing the force of tens of thousands of pounds as they crashed down heavily on the blood-red skull.

The power of the purple thunder annihilated all shadow energy.

The blood-red skull, amidst the flashing lightning, turned to ashes in the blink of an eye, much like the previous blood-red cocoon.

"Boom!"

A tremendous rumble caused the entire Sunbeam Mountain to tremble slightly.

It startled numerous birds and beasts in the mountains and also awakened Momo Ross, sleeping at the inn.

In a daze, she opened her eyes, finding the surroundings still pitch-black yet vaguely glimpsing flickers of lightning outside the distant window.

With the illumination, she turned her head, discovering that Lucas Jennings’s bed was shockingly empty. She instinctively sat up, looked toward the bathroom, and found it just as dark.

In the middle of the night, where could she have gone?

...

In the severed woods of the mountain, Scarlett Jennings looked at the skull, which had been directly turned to ash, realizing belatedly with some headache.
