Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 893

"That's right. We're running out of time. We gotta clear out all the mice now!"

Surprisingly, Clara acted boldly. "I got it. You guys should search for other mice instead."

One of them from the crowd yelled, "Other cats have surrounded them. These are the only two left."

Shannon quickly checked the map on her phone. The dense cluster of players, which surrounded the mice earlier, had now dwindled to only a few scattered ones. Just as someone had said, they were the last two mice left.

Clara initially planned to confront the cat players boldly and drive them away. To her dismay, they refused to leave and surrounded them instead. Suddenly, she was at a loss for what to do.

She reflexively glanced at Shannon, conveying with her eyes, "What do we do now? We have nowhere to run!"

Before Shannon could respond, someone among the crowd lost their patience and darted toward them, bypassing Clara. "You're taking too long. Let me do it!"

Since Shannon was wearing a mask and a hat, and the park's dim lighting made it hard to see clearly, no one recognized her as the famous online figure. As the person spoke, he began to lunge toward her.

Unexpectedly, Clara grabbed him in time and told Shannon and Calvin, "Run!"

Scott and his friends were taken aback. Once they regained their bearings, they immediately assisted Clara in holding off the cat players. "Shannon, we're blocking them! Run—now!"

The sudden turn of events put the cat team, awaiting victory, in a trance. They became furious once they regained their composure and pointed at Clara, shouting, "Guys, she's a traitor!"

Then they pointed at the five teens. "Wait, why are there external personnel here? This is against the rule! This is cheating!"

Immediately, all the cat players charged forward and closed in on them. The overwhelming crowd was more than enough to overpower Scott, Clara, and the other teens. As some players broke through their defenses and reached for Shannon and Calvin, the latter almost had no way to avoid them.

"That's right! You broke the rules! The tree is considered a dangerous hiding spot!"

"Get down here!"

A person shouted beneath the tree, while another attempted to kick it. Seeing this, Scott quickly rushed toward the latter. "What do you think you're doing?"

It was just a reflexive move, but as soon as he collided with the "person", they let out a sudden, blood-curdling scream. In the blink of an eye, the figure began to emit thick black smoke, and its body quickly transformed into a mere shadow.

Scott was stunned. He quickly touched his scorching emerald pendant and found his limbs weakening, thinking, "Did I… Did I… run into a ghost?"

"G-Ghost!" another person shrieked.
