Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 892

"What… What do we do? Will we become ghosts if we get caught?" Clara no longer regarded this as a game of Cat and Mouse. This was clearly a ghost-hunting game! What if the ones captured got turned into ghosts?

Scott and his friends felt their stomachs drop. On the other hand, Shannon reacted calmly, gazing at the group and turning to Clara, "What are you scared of? You're a cat."

Dazed, Clara finally snapped back to reality. "You're right. I'm a cat player. Why am I scared?"

Shannon then assured the five teens. "You guys are neither cat nor mouse, so don't worry."

"What?" They couldn't grasp the situation, so she showed them their current locations on the map.

It was clear that the spot where they gathered only displayed two mouse players and one cat player. In other words, the game only recognized Shannon, Calvin, and Clara as the participants.

Shannon's theory was similar to Calvin's. Although they were unintentionally pulled into the spiritual realm, they didn't wear the players' designated fluorescent wristbands or have access to the map, thus belonging to neither team.

That also meant… that the cat players charging toward them were primarily after Shannon and Calvin, the mice.

"We can't hide from the cats with this many people. Let's split for now."

Once Calvin suggested the idea, Scott and his friends stuck around Shannon. After knowing they were in the spiritual realm, they naturally wouldn't stray away from their savior.

Realizing his action would come off cowardly, Scott added, "I'm not scared, Shannon. I simply want to protect you."

His friends nodded eagerly and parroted, "That's right, Shannon. We just want to protect you."
