Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 289

"Have you ever heard of a ritual called vessel transfer?" Shannon asked.

Upon hearing the term, Juniper widened his eyes. "You're referring to—"

"Those who live will perform a lifespan transfer, while those who are dead will perform a vessel transfer. It's a method that's similar to a ghost possessing a dead body. The only difference is… the ghost will be possessing a living human's body instead."

Right after Shannon gave her explanation, everyone could feel chills running their backs. Even Madeline couldn't help but tremble.

Weren't they still talking about youth and beauty transfer? How did the topic change to ghosts possessing living bodies instead?

Shannon seemed to have picked up on everyone's confusion. She didn't mind going into detail.

"The spell for the vessel transfer starts when the target wears the dead's ashes for a prolonged time. The dead will slowly replace the target bit by bit and eventually replace them in the mortal world. They usually start by consuming their target's youth and beauty.

"I've mentioned before that you can see a person's past, future, and various houses just by looking at their face. It's said that physiognomy is one of the few ways that can detect this spell.

"When it comes to revivals, it's easy to discover traces of the dead if they choose to possess dead bodies. But if they choose to perform the vessel transfer spell, they won't be detected at all.

"At first, the dead will begin consuming the target's youth and beauty. Once everyone around the target realizes that the target is changing, the dead will begin changing the target's appearance, habits, accent, habits, and other attributes.

"Only when the dead has completely replaced the target will the vessel transfer spell be marked a success."

The room was very silent because everyone was focused on listening to Shannon's explanation.

The same went for the livestream room. Once Shannon was done explaining, the viewers began spamming the comment section.

"This sounds so scary! Do spells this scary really exist in this world? Doesn't this mean the dead can steal a human being's life right away?"

"Shannon seems pretty knowledgeable. I don't think she's making things up at all."
