The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 454

Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Offline Real-Life Cat and Mouse Game

The offline real-world cat-and-mouse game, also known as city hide-and-seek.

It has suddenly become popular as a real-world offline game in the past two years.

"The game organizers will invite strangers from the same city and randomly divide them into two camps by drawing lots. The mice are responsible for hiding, and the cats then proceed to capture them. The cats win if they catch all the ’mice’ within the stipulated time; otherwise, the mice win."

Daniel Wright quickly explained the game rules and then said,

"We’ve recently received numerous missing persons cases in the city. Upon investigation, we found that most of these missing young people were real players in this cat-and-mouse game.

Last week, we sent officers undercover to participate in the offline game organized by the same organizer. All the players involved in the game safely returned home that night,

but in the following days, people continued to go missing, and even our undercover officer suddenly disappeared from his home two days ago. After investigating his home, we found this."

Daniel Wright said as he took out a bag of evidence containing black ashes.

At the moment the item was taken out, Scarlett Jennings, along with Evander Simpson and Gregory Xander, simultaneously narrowed their eyes.

With just one glance, they recognized it was the ashes of Talisman Paper.

And it turned into ashes only after resisting harm from evil entities, with a distinct trace of Shadow Energy lingering on the ashes.

"This is my Talisman."

Scarlett Jennings looked at Daniel Wright with a confident tone.

"Yes, it’s the Amulet I bought from you earlier. I instructed him to keep it with him, but when he disappeared, it was left behind."

Gregory Xander and Evander Simpson both looked at Scarlett Jennings.

They knew the power of Scarlett Jennings’ Amulets.

The fact that the opponent still managed to take someone away despite being hurt by the Talisman Paper clearly indicated it wasn’t just ordinary dark forces.

Daniel Wright realized that this matter might be related to metaphysical phenomena, which is why he turned to Scarlett Jennings.

"I’ve already reported this to the head of the city’s Security Bureau, and they’ve sent someone over, but I’m still not at ease. I hope you can help."

He had witnessed Scarlett Jennings’ skills and trusted her abilities more.

Even if she was still young.

But this case has seriously threatened social safety, and they must quickly find the missing individuals, regardless of their condition.

"I understand this might be dangerous, I..." Daniel Wright was about to say more, but Scarlett Jennings directly interrupted him,

"I agree."

Evander Simpson and Gregory Xander also chimed in, "We’ll go too."

The opponent can make so many people disappear without a trace; it’s definitely not ordinary dark forces. The more people, the better.

As a senior, Gregory Xander has the responsibility to guide and protect his peer sisters even outside the academy.

Daniel Wright was surprised to suddenly have two helpers, naturally having no reason to refuse, and heard Scarlett Jennings ask,

"What did you just say about Lucas Jennings?"

"We’ve previously investigated the list of people who participated in recent cat-and-mouse games, and your brother is also on the list."

Daniel Wright paused, adding, "Moreover, our people found him in the groups organizing the offline cat-and-mouse games, and he’s on the list to participate in the game tonight."

In other words, he’s already risked his life once.

Now preparing to risk it a second time.

Beside them, Amber Livingston had been searching for detailed rules of the cat-and-mouse game since Daniel Wright mentioned it and couldn’t help but ask,

"I see the game rules state participants must be over eighteen years old. Master Jennings, is your brother over eighteen?"

Scarlett Jennings: ...

No.

He’s fourteen!
