Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1190

Shannon and Lexie cocked their heads at Janel.

He felt rather shy by their scorching gazes, continuing, "Mr. Darkwood… No, that demonic cultist initially said we have geomancy problems in our village and offered to resolve a few strange incidents.

"The villagers were all convinced by his abilities, so they allowed him to stay without a question."

Even his family believed in Alaric's words at that time and deviously attempted to force Sonia's return with the ghost marriage. In the end, he suffered the consequences himself.

"He lives in a house at the west end of the village, right next to the old storage warehouse where they used to keep corn. I've delivered things to him there a few times before."

One night, he took a stroll in the wee hours and surprisingly saw Alaric, who usually stayed home, went to the half-abandoned well at the village, muttering something under his breath. He threw a few talismans and some other objects into the well.

The well had been there for many years, and the water was connected to several wells in the village, including the one at Janel's house.

At the time, he hadn't thought much of it. He was already forced into the ghost marriage, and with Gary tormenting him daily, he had no mental energy to think about anything else.

Since the night he witnessed Alaric tossing talismans into the well, Gary forbade him from drinking the water at home.

As soon as he did or ate anything his mom cooked that used the water from the well, he would immediately possess his body and puke everything out for him.

After a few more similar incidents, he was so tormented that all he could do was nibble on bread each day.

Then one day, he noticed a portion of the villagers began acting strangely.

Initially, they seemed to dislike the sunlight, staying inside their houses the entire day and only coming out when it was nighttime.

Soon after, there were frequent disappearances of chickens and ducks from the village. When the animals were found, all that remained was a pool of blood.

Later, even the stray dogs around the village mysteriously vanished one night.
