Meeting Hector's delighted gaze, which had a hint of mischief, Shannon smiled. "Fine."
Due to the additional share dividends, Shannon thoughtfully gifted each of them a soul-calming talisman. After all, their souls had been separated from their bodies for seven days, making them susceptible to instability and mental discomfort.
She also reminded them to spend more time in the sun to help rejuvenate their spirits.
Later, she returned to her room with Benji Gold, Marshmallow, and her phantom helpers in great numbers.
Activating the barrier in her room, Shannon attempted to submit a return service for the two sealed living souls through MysticApp.
With its integration with the underworld, the application should have information on all souls. Her main goal was to use the database to investigate the origins of these two souls.
However, the prompt reply from MysticApp surprised her.
"The owners of the living souls are in good condition, and there is no indication that their souls have left their bodies?" Shannon read, encountering such a peculiar situation for the first time.
If the soul owners were in good condition, what were in her pendants now?
After pondering, she gritted her teeth and made another request. "I'd like to check the locations of these two soul owners and the specific condition of their souls."
A MysticApp service agent replied in his cold and emotionless voice, "Sorry, you do not have the required permissions to access that information."
Left with no choice, Shannon dialed Mitchell's number. She believed he had a better chance of accessing that information.
Soon, she received confirmation and immediately passed the soul energy data recorded by MysticApp to him.
While he conducted his investigation, she took the opportunity to catch her breath. Retrieving her tools, she continued her work progress on Hank's Stone Turtle emerald pendant.
Benji Gold nodded affirmatively. At last, Shannon linked everything together. "You're saying Benjamin has been working relentlessly without eating and sleeping the last two days."
It nodded eagerly, putting Shannon into a daze.
She wasn't surprised that the paper figures knew so much because the two golden paper figures were attuned to each other, possessing a unique way of communicating.
However, she was more concerned about why Benjamin worked so relentlessly these days. Was he trying to catch up to work because he was unconscious for an entire day?
At that thought, she felt a tinge of worry. "Is he nuts? Are CEOs so busy nowadays? I don't see Dad working as hard as him… If it's because he's trying to make up for the time he lost while unconscious, then…
"No, I have to do something about it," she contemplated.
She texted him, "Let me buy you a meal, Benjamin."
