Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2275

Velquin continued, "I came with you not just to help you return to your original world, but because the Vlad of this world is my true target."

Lexie had known about Vlad's existence. Even so, she couldn't wrap her head around what had just happened.

"Mike and I have been together since we arrived. We lost our spiritual energies, but Heston's abilities weren't affected. If any malice came near us, he would've sensed it immediately.

"So, when did that so-called malice get inside us? Why didn't we see any signs before this?"

Plus, if this was truly malice, shouldn't it affect everyone? Why had Mike only gone berserk toward the alternate Mike?

Velquin had heard what happened when the two Mikes met, and from that, he had a fair guess.

"His malice was most likely activated the moment he saw his other self. Not just him, but you too."

He turned to look at Lexie with an unusually solemn expression on his tiny porcelain face.

Though she knew it was just a doll she'd created, Lexie was still a little confused by the look on his face and asked, "Are you saying I've been corrupted by malice too?"

"According to the rules of the alternate world, only those who don't already exist here are allowed to enter, but you two crossed over despite already existing in this world.

"This world does not allow two of the same person to exist."

Velquin might not fully understand the alternate world, but he knew Vlad and continued explaining, "If I'm right, the Rules of the Alternate Divine Power state that when two identical people meet, one must be eliminated.

As for Vlad…

"The way you describe it… I don't know why, but it feels like Vlad's malice is serving the Alternate Divine Power…"

Lexie murmured softly and voiced her feelings, but the room fell instantly silent.

That was because she wasn't the only one who felt that way. Thalia, Elliot, Mike, and Fennec all had the same thought.

This was what Velquin feared most. Vlad of the alternate world might have merged with the Alternate Divine Power.

If that was true, Velquin lost confidence in everything he'd come here to do. He was no longer sure if he could succeed…
