Scarlett Jennings and Evander Simpson helped guide the person back to the lounge.
The cameraman from the production team wanted to follow, but was stopped by Sebastian Carew at the door.
"It’s not convenient for the live broadcast to continue now, let’s wait until Ianthe Lawson recovers," he suggested.
Even though the viewers in the live stream were eager to see what happened next, it wasn’t appropriate to press further since she had fainted.
Director Clark nodded for the staff to step back, then entered the lounge.
Upon walking in, he saw Ianthe Lawson placed on the couch, with Amber Livingston watching over her. Scarlett Jennings, along with three others, stood by the vanity mirror, staring at a doll.
"This is the doll," Evander said, pointing at it. "But I can’t sense a soul body’s presence on it."
Scarlett examined the doll, nearly identical in appearance to Ianthe Lawson, and made her judgment internally.
Although there was no soul energy present, the doll contained a similar kind of energy.
She reached out and took the doll in her hand.
The sensation became even clearer upon contact.
Even though she already had a theory, Scarlett still looked into the doll’s eyes and softly asked,
"Ianthe Lawson, is it you?"
...
Ianthe Lawson, seeing herself being picked up again, had given up hope when she suddenly heard Scarlett’s voice. Her soul was overwhelmed with an urge to cry.
"It’s me! Scarlett, it’s me! Help me..."
She had seen her unconscious body but wasn’t aware of what was happening outside, nor whether they had detected anything wrong with her.
She continued to shout, even if her voice couldn’t reach their ears.
Even the slightest glimmer of hope was something she couldn’t afford to give up.
She didn’t want to be a doll.
The delicate doll didn’t respond, but Scarlett already knew the answer.
"Don’t worry," she said, setting down the doll and pulling out some blank Yellow Talismans.
After contemplating, she bent down and quickly started drawing the Talisman.
Ariel Zimmerman wanted to ask questions but was stopped by Evander.
Scarlett swiftly drew three different Talismans, and though it seemed to consume a lot of spiritual power, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She seemed unfazed, and after finishing the Talismans, she casually stuck one onto the doll.
Evander scrutinized it closely; it was a Soul Summoning Talisman.
Without saying a word, Scarlett quickly formed a seal with her hands and activated the Spirit Talisman.
The runes on the Spirit Talisman emitted a faint spiritual light, but the doll remained unresponsive.
"As I thought," Scarlett said aloud.
The soul body was trapped inside the doll, and couldn’t simply be summoned.
Scarlett didn’t lose heart and stuck another Talisman on it.
Evander looked and couldn’t help swallowing nervously.
An intermediate-level Formation Breaking Talisman.
It could break evil obstructions and all sorts of barriers.
Scarlett, unperturbed, formed seals again to activate the Spirit Talisman, but this time the Spirit Talisman elicited no reaction.
The Formation Breaking Talisman didn’t work, meaning the force trapping Ianthe Lawson wasn’t an array or evil barrier.
Evander frowned.
Whether it was Hestia Knight’s so-called "rebirth" or this strange doll, everything carried an eerie air about it.
