Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 469

After Mushy learned that it was a case of mushroom poisoning rather than ghosts, she was no longer afraid of the drifting "shadows" around her.

She was relaxed enough to start reading the comments, though her expression was now a mix of embarrassment.

"I… I had no idea. The Internet says mushroom poisoning makes people see little figures, but I've been seeing full-grown adults."

Elliot spoke softly to clarify, "Hallucinations from mushroom poisoning can vary for each person. It comes from the brain's response and relates to what's already in your subconscious mind."

Mushy instantly understood. She had been binge-watching Sixth Sense, which sparked her interest in mystic arts, so she had been watching plenty of horror films.

"Oh… So, that's why I can see subtitles when you guys are talking to me."

Everyone was momentarily dumbfounded to hear her murmur. Did she not find it odd that she could even see subtitles while talking to people?

Some of the livestream audience could empathize since many people in Crisea were used to subtitles in movies so it seemed normal to them. Having no subtitles seemed odd instead.

Feeling mortified by her misunderstanding, Mushy apologized to the production crew.

She was particularly embarrassed because today's live assistance segment was a part of the duel between Shannon and Skylar. She worried she had wasted time and disrupted the duel.

Just as she was about to end her call, her friend, Celia Tate, opened the hotel room door and entered with a middle-aged man who looked like a doctor, Sergio Hobbs.

"Mushy, I brought a doctor from the clinic next door to check on you. I think your symptoms are from mushroom poisoning."

Mushy was even more embarrassed. "I've figured out it's mushroom poisoning."

She turned toward the door and saw that Celia hadn't come alone. Behind her was a short, slightly chubby woman with her head bowed.

Mushy froze. As realization dawned on her, she raised her trembling hands to turn the camera toward Celia and Sergio.

The mysterious woman following Celia came into full view of the camera.

Then, Skylar's voice came through, laced with mockery. "Congratulations, now you're really seeing a ghost."

It was Celia running into a ghost, rather than Mushy.

The livestream audience had yet to process the sudden plot twist when Mushy's eyes widened in terror. Her pupils quivered as she looked ahead.

Just after Skylar spoke, the woman behind Celia seemed to sense something. She slowly lifted her head.

Mushy's eyes locked with the ghost's eerie, chilling gaze, who then smiled with a slow, menacing grin.
