Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 922

Shannon, who was typically unshakable, found herself momentarily stunned when she heard Clara's words.

Could it be just a coincidence? She'd just informed the Jensens about the system, and now it had practically delivered itself to her doorstep. Could she be this lucky?

Though her emotions were in turmoil, Shannon maintained a calm and composed expression. She said, "Explain in more detail."

As she spoke, she gave Marshmallow a light tap on the head as if to say. "Fetch my amulet."

Marshmallow darted off in a flash.

Clara didn't notice Marshmallow darting off. She quickly recounted her experience to Shannon.

"After I got home from giving my statement last night, it was past one in the morning. Just as I was about to fall asleep, a voice in my head claimed to be some sort of the Fortune System and requested me to bind to it.

"I was pretty excited at first. I mean, it's a system, and that's like a magic tool straight out of the books."

On any other day, Clara would've jumped at the chance to bind to the system. But after experiencing the eerie spiritual realm, she had her guard up and wasn't that naive to trust the system.

Who knew if the system was a disguised evil spirit who'd escaped from the spiritual realm to sneak into her body? She'd met plenty of spirits pretending to be players last night, so she'd come to learn that they were good at disguises and deceit.

Clara was well-acquainted with Shannon and had learned about mystic arts. She knew that some spirits couldn't act on people unless they received a response.

For instance, she knew better than to turn around or answer if someone was calling her name from behind at night. She would also make sure not to open the door right away if there was anyone knocking. These were all responses spirits aimed to receive.
