Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1797

Benjamin watched the retreating backs of Shannon and Mike for a long while without saying a word. He quietly left Eamon's bookstore and headed back to his place in the Demon District.

Although the threat from Ghost Mist had dissipated, he still hadn't moved out of the house. The maple tree's canopy still stretched out, its golden leaves falling into the neighboring yard.

The one-month period Benjamin had given wasn't long. For the next half month, Shannon and her team focused all their efforts on restoring The Rift.

To that end, they even made a special trip to the Special Security Agency prison to interrogate Adeela, who had once participated in activating the array.

She was also one of the people brought back by Reuben's team from Ghost Mist Headquarters.

Two weeks later, in a secluded forest on the outskirts of Jamborough, Mike and Skylar worked together to attempt to activate a miniature Rift barely three feet in size.

"Five realms converge, their rules no longer bind… Shroud the heavens, break the world."

As the two recited the incantation, the array began to glow little by little. At the same time, a small rabbit inside the formation seemed trapped by something, unable to escape no matter how hard it tried.

It wasn't just being isolated by the array barrier; whenever the rabbit collided with the barrier, it would instantly pop back out from within it.

It was just like the people who had been trapped in The Rift—constantly trying to escape, only to find themselves returning to the starting point again.

As the array fully lit up, both the area where the formation was located and the rabbit inside seemed to vanish entirely.

Although it wasn't a perfect replication of The Rift that had once trapped Seastone, it had the same effect. Shannon and Logan stood by, taking notes.

When they saw the array's effect had been achieved, they instructed the two to recall the array.

However, since it was the first attempt, the array failed to recall its contents. Both the three-foot square area of the array and the small rabbit within it disappeared completely.

Mike was frustrated when he found that the array's recall had failed.

"It shouldn't be like this. The logic for lifting the array should be the same as forming it. Could I have made a mistake?" he mumbled to himself, then couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
