The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 606

Chapter 606: Chapter 606: How Are Living Corpses Made?

Scarlett Jennings and Stella Gibson suddenly turned their heads to look at him.

Jessamine Lloyd, feeling embarrassed by their gaze, finally spoke,

"That Master Nolan... No, that evil sorcerer initially said our village’s geomancy had issues and helped solve some strange occurrences in the village, so the villagers trusted him completely and let him stay in the village."

Even their family believed him at first, which led them to arrange a ghost marriage to bring Cadence Lloyd back to the village.

But it only ended up causing them immense suffering.

"He lives in a house at the west end of the village next to a storage warehouse for corn that the village used. I even delivered things to him a few times."

Until that night.

As he wandered around at midnight, he saw Master Nolan, who rarely went out, suddenly head to a half-abandoned well in the village, murmuring as he threw some Talisman Paper and other things into the well.

The well had been there for many years, and the water from it connected to many household wells in the village.

Jessamine’s family was also connected, but he didn’t think much about it at the time.

Being forced into a ghost marriage and tormented by Griffin Gentry every day, he had no mind for anything else.

After witnessing Nolan throwing talismans into the well that night, Griffin wouldn’t let him drink the water from their house. Anytime he drank or ate food cooked with well water by his mother, Griffin would immediately possess him and extract it.

After being tormented several times, he couldn’t bear it and had to survive on bread every day.

Then one day, he noticed some villagers started behaving strangely.

First, they began to avoid sunlight, staying indoors during the day and only going out after dark.

Then, chickens and ducks frequently went missing, leaving only pools of blood, and even stray dogs around the village disappeared overnight.

When the villagers realized they were not themselves, they went to Nolan, seeking his help.

Nolan wandered around the village and finally stopped at the well, claiming there was something filthy inside.

Jessamine thought they would retrieve what he had secretly thrown in but didn’t expect them to fish out a long-decayed corpse and various insect carcasses.

Many villagers vomited on the spot.

Nolan said there was evil in the village and concocted Talisman Water, making villagers drink it to ward off evil.

Most villagers drank it, except for some young ones who didn’t believe and refused.

Nolan didn’t force them.

Jessamine didn’t drink it either, following Griffin’s prior warning.

Later, he discovered that those in the village who drank the Talisman Water started turning into monsters.

The monsters would come out at night, biting whoever they saw, turning those bitten into more monsters, only reverting back to normal during the day.

After learning his mother was bitten, he tricked her out of the house under a pretext, then locked all doors and windows, hiding inside and avoiding going out.

Going out was pointless, as it was as if the village was trapped by some barrier, making escape impossible.

After recounting the village’s events, Jessamine carefully directed Scarlett and the others.

He didn’t really believe that these young Masters could deal with Nolan, but if they could at least cause him some trouble...

Not necessarily perishing together with Nolan, but if only they could hurt him enough to break the village barrier, he could escape.

As for the other villagers, he couldn’t care less about them.

Jessamine was plotting his own escape, afraid of being exposed, and he pointed at Griffin,

"I’m weak, and leading you would cause problems, but you can take him; he’s also familiar with the village."

Although Griffin had saved him, he couldn’t even lead him out of the village, making him useless.

Not to mention the many humiliations he suffered at Griffin’s hands.

He’d long wanted to abandon the ghost.
