The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 596

Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Point Deduction, Warning to Scarlett Jennings

Because of the "recognition" from Scarlett Jennings and her five companions, the official acknowledged the competition results of the Spritelife Group.

Then, he turned his gaze back to Scarlett Jennings,

"Do you think you have fulfilled the requirements of this competition?"

He said,

"Although you found out the obsession of the Evil Ghost, you only dispelled its Resentful Aura. You should know that the most direct way to completely eradicate the obsession is to exterminate the Evil Ghost."

Once the source of the obsession is gone, the obsession itself will naturally cease to exist.

He thought that when Scarlett Jennings asked such a question before the competition, she should have known what to do.

When the official brought this up in public, the people from Sea City were actually a bit unsure. Just as he said, dispelling Resentful Aura doesn’t count as eliminating the obsession.

Unless Benson Woods were to enter the Misfortune Pond immediately and roll around in it, only if he could reincarnate would it mean his obsession was completely gone.

The group nervously looked at Scarlett Jennings, but they saw her calm expression as she counter-asked,

"If all human-eating Evil Ghosts just needed to be exterminated, why would the academy make investigating their obsessions an aspect of the competition?"

She spoke, not waiting for the official to respond, and said,

"Because the teachers know that not all Evil Ghosts willingly become such, nor do all Evil Ghosts deserve death."

If the Evil Ghost’s obsession is solely malevolent, she wouldn’t hesitate to kill a hundred without batting an eyelid.

But someone like Benson Woods died with disappointment in the world, transforming into a Ghost and only fell into being an unredeemable Evil Ghost after witnessing his own dismemberment.

As she had previously answered Lyra Sterling’s question, there is both death penalty and suspended sentence in the Mortal Realm, and in her opinion, Benson Woods’ experience should not warrant a death sentence unless he wished for death himself.

Upon hearing Scarlett Jennings’ words, the official did not show the slightest displeasure. In fact, he seemed unsurprised.

"You are correct."

The official suddenly looked at everyone,

"This is also the purpose of the second round of the competition. As members of the Mystical Sect, while our mission is to exterminate the ghosts and demons, we must remember not to become excessively obsessive, killing ghosts without reason. That is not the right path.

We must act in accordance with the law, but beyond the law, we must also abide by the cycles of karma and reincarnation, learning to discern what is truly evil. This is part of cultivating your Daoist heart."

After the official spoke, everyone present and those watching the Mystical Sect’s broadcast seemed to contemplate deeply. The North City, Capital Metropolitan, and Sea City groups on the stage also felt the same and nodded in unison,

"We heed the teachers’ guidance."

Spritelife Group: ...

Seems like they are talking about some reason?

Forget it, it’s not a concern for us demons.

...

After the official finished speaking, he suddenly turned again towards Scarlett Jennings,

"One last question, how did you obtain the recording from that girl’s phone?"

This matter wasn’t even recorded by the Image Keeping Talisman.

The teachers present, along with the audience watching the academy competition broadcast, were also quite curious.

It was seen that Scarlett Jennings hesitated unusually for a moment, but ultimately spoke the truth,

"I had a spirit baby go into her phone through the network and get it."

Initially, she just wanted to extract some clues from the girl’s phone, but never expected the spirit baby to discover this recording inside.

The students below couldn’t help but start whispering when they heard she even nurtured a spirit baby, but the official just stared deeply at her without additional comments.

Soon after, following a unanimous discussion among the judges, a conclusion was reached.

"In this round of the competition, the Capital Metropolitan Group successfully extracted Ghost Energy from the Evil Ghost using the Gathering Evil Formation and Soul Refining Technique. Although they couldn’t investigate the Evil Ghost’s past, they still received half the points as a reward, totaling 30 points."

The competition uses a team point plus individual point system.

The so-called team points are the points one can obtain through the competition, which are base points of forty, awarded based on the competition’s completion level.
