The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458: Chapter 458: The Game Rules of the Ghost Realm

No one knows who first screamed, but the originally surrounding cat players instantly scattered in panic and fled.

No one expected that playing a game could actually lead to seeing a ghost.

The person just now turned into a twisted shadow, it must be a ghost.

Who would still want to play under such circumstances?

The scene suddenly plunged into chaos, and the "ghost" that Lucas Jennings had bumped the ghost body from seemed bewildered too.

Looking at its own body, it wore an expression of horror,

"I’m a ghost? When did I die?"

Daniel Wright witnessed everything from the tree, and upon focusing his eyes, his pupils slightly contracted.

"That person is one of the missing persons!"

Scarlett Jennings froze, "Are you sure?"

Daniel gritted his teeth, "I’m sure!"

He was originally skilled at recognizing people, let alone the list of missing persons, each of whom he had personally investigated.

He would definitely not mistake them.

Precisely because he wouldn’t make a mistake, that’s why he felt angry at this moment.

Because if missing persons turned into ghosts, wouldn’t that mean those who are missing... are all dead...

Thinking about the list of seventeen, which included even his undercover colleague, Daniel felt a chilling coldness enveloping him.

Scarlett looked at Daniel’s profile, then at the soul body below that had been visibly scorched by the Jade Token’s spiritual power, thought for a moment, and decisively jumped down from the tree with Daniel.

Upon landing, Scarlett quickly pulled out a length of red thread from her bag, flung it towards the ghost body, and with a tug, the originally unstable ghost body was firmly bound by her.

Scarlett casually slapped a Soul Suppressing Talisman on the ghost body, then pulled off her mask and hat, loudly addressing the still scattering crowd,

"Everyone, don’t be afraid, this is not a ghost!"

Due to the earlier chaos, most had already fled at the first instance, but some were still nearby, instinctively turning their heads upon hearing the words, and froze upon clearly seeing Scarlett.

"Scarlett Jennings?"

"Is it really her?! Yes, it’s her in the flesh!"

"Great! It’s Master Jennings!"

All at once, those who recognized Scarlett seemed to have found their anchor, pausing in their steps, though still wary to get too close.

The ghost body bound by Scarlett heard her words, and its initial fear transformed into uncertain delight,

"You say I’m not a ghost? Am I really not a ghost? I’m not dead?!"

Lucas Jennings couldn’t help but twitch his cheeks slightly, "How do you not know if you’re a ghost or not?"

The ghost sincerely replied, "I don’t know."

"He’s not a ghost."

Scarlett interrupted the two, correcting once more, "To be precise, he’s a living soul."

Earlier, when those Tom players surrounded him, she sensed that the aura of these players was somewhat unusual.

At a glance, they all seemed human.

But not entirely human either.

She initially thought it was due to the influence of the Ghost Realm, but now it seems that this Ghost Realm concealed the aura that the original soul body should have, making it impossible for her to distinguish whether they were human or soul at first glance.

"A living soul, does that mean I’m not dead?"

The living soul didn’t understand what living soul meant, but since it was called ’living,’ doesn’t that suggest he’s still alive?

However, if he is alive, why is there only a living soul left?

Seeing the living soul’s confused expression, Scarlett realized that the Ghost Realm in front of her didn’t just hide the aura of the soul body but also affected people’s memories.

"Don’t you remember disappearing for a few days?" Daniel couldn’t help but ask the man.

The living soul looked puzzled,

"I disappeared? Haven’t I been playing cat and mouse all along?

I initially drew the rat group, then got caught and became a cat; I just followed the cats to catch mice..."

He carefully recalled.

But he couldn’t remember anything, only that he kept catching and catching.
