The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 600

Chapter 600: Chapter 600: My Name Is Jessamine Lloyd

Because this may involve an Evil Master, the academy did not allow students who haven’t graduated yet to act alone. Instead, four members of the Security Bureau were assigned to lead each team.

The Security Bureau members would not interfere with the evaluation of the competition. The performance of each group of students was still graded by judges through their individual performance recorded on the Image Keeping Talisman.

Since each case of missing corpses differed, the four groups of students needed to draw lots to determine which missing corpse case they would be responsible for.

Afterward, each group needed to head to their designated clue location based on their lot drawing to meet with their assigned Security Bureau member.

Scarlett Jennings and her group were headed to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the Security Bureau member responsible for leading them was performing a spell on a woman.

The group did not go forward to interrupt; they just stood at the door watching.

"It’s the Soul Stabilizing Technique."

Gregory Xander explained softly.

As his words fell, they could hear the man inside chanting in a low voice,

"Divine soul unite, energy follows; when apart and above, myriad changes unfeared..."

With his continued chanting, the person on the bed finally slowly opened her eyes.

Perhaps because her soul had just stabilized, the woman’s expression still seemed a bit blank.

Seeing this, the man simply turned toward the door, signaling the group to come in.

The man before them was about twenty-seven or eight, with delicate features, and a gentle air about him.

His gaze swept over Scarlett Jennings and the others, and he asked warmly,

"Are you the Taoism Academy students here to assist?"

"Yes, we are students from Sea City."

The man nodded and said,

"The Security Bureau requires each case to have at least two people in charge, but due to the suddenness of this incident, the Bureau couldn’t spare more manpower to form a team, so you were allowed to join the investigation.

Since you may encounter some unforeseen dangerous situations during the investigation, remember to stay close to me."

Scarlett Jennings and her group nodded in unison.

The man then smiled and said,

"I graduated from Capital Academy, so although our institutions are different, I still count as your senior. You can call me Brother Jingze."

"Okay, Brother Jingze."

With Ashton Todd not present, Stella Gibson automatically assumed the role of the team’s communication representative.

As they spoke, the woman on the bed finally regained her sense and, looking at them, croaked,

"Who... are you?"

They stepped forward as Brother Jingze softly identified himself to her and explained the situation, then turned to explain to them,

"This is Ms. Esther Lester. She was found unconscious in the Martyrs’ Cemetery five days ago. At that time, her soul was incomplete, and I spent some time retrieving the rest of her soul. She’s finally woken up today."

Yesterday, when the Security Bureau discovered the martyr’s body was missing, they immediately remembered this woman found unconscious in the garden.

Only then did Scarlett Jennings and the others realize they had drawn the case of the only missing martyr’s body.

Next, Brother Jingze carefully inquired about the events leading up to Esther Lester’s coma.

According to her account, she had gone to the Martyrs’ Cemetery alone that day.

"Whenever I’m wronged or sad, I go to the Martyrs’ Cemetery to have a good cry. That day, my boyfriend of seven years suddenly told me he’d had a successful blind date in his hometown and wanted to break up with me. I was so devastated that I went there to cry again..."

Esther Lester said,

"I cried for too long that day. It got dark, and there were no people around. When I was about to leave, I vaguely saw a strange silhouette by a gravestone.

I stared at that shadow for a long time; it seemed to notice me, and then suddenly, everything went black before my eyes and my mind went blank, and I couldn’t remember a thing."

The clues Esther Lester provided were sparse. She couldn’t even see what had startled her into losing her soul.

Brother Jingze inquired further with several questions but was unable to gather any effective clues.

Scarlett Jennings looked at Esther Lester and suddenly asked,

"When you fainted, were you wearing any amulets or similar protection?"

Upon hearing this, Esther Lester seemed to remember something suddenly, reaching for her phone and removing the case, from which some black ashes fell out.

"Oh no, why has it all turned to ashes? This was supposed to be the amulet my grandma got for me!"

Brother Jingze’s eyes lit up, clearly not expecting she had an amulet on her.

After all, her soul was scattered in fright. He hadn’t thought she had been protected by something else before.

And nothing resembling an amulet had been found on her at the time.

Who would’ve thought it was hidden inside the phone case!
