Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Finished, Another One is Missing Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Finished, Another One is Missing A sentence like a thunderclap. Sebastian instinctively recalled the appearance of the old lady from yesterday, stunned for a moment, “Lineage connection... Is this the old lady’s grandson?” If it were the old lady’s grandson, why would the photo be hung here in this house while the old lady herself lived in another place... “Not a grandson, probably just a grandnephew.” Scarlett Jennings wasn’t very skilled in face reading, and the things she could see were limited. But even so, it was enough to make people gasp. “How do you know?” Sebastian looked at Scarlett with a slightly complicated expression. “Face reading.” Scarlett explained further when she saw Sebastian staring at her, “There is a lineage line on a person’s face. Whether there is a lineage connection can be seen from the face. A skilled face reading master can even see a person’s past and future from their face.” Scarlett spoke convincingly, but the audience in the live broadcast was bewildered. [“The way she says it, I almost believed her.”] [“Are there really such powerful face reading masters?”] [“Must be bluffing, likely the show team leaked the clues in advance, all scripted.”] [“Where’s the lineage line? I can’t see it from the photo either...”] [“Could it be that Scarlett really understands? It sounds a bit professional.”] [“As expected, those chosen by the Taoism Academy are indeed extraordinary.”] Most of the audience in the live broadcast expressed disbelief, but before they could argue further, urgent footsteps were heard in the frame. Scarlett and Sebastian looked down at the sound and saw Evander Simpson with a composed face running up with two photographers. One of the photographers seemed anxious, and before Scarlett could ask, Evander already spoke gravely, “Dashiell has disappeared.” Scarlett was clearly taken aback. While others might not know, she was well aware that Evander was always keeping an eye on Dashiell because he knew his background right from the start. But now he’s gone, and it happened without a photographer nearby. Either Dashiell ran off on his own, or... Sebastian turned his gaze to the photographer who was supposed to be with Dashiell and asked, “What happened?” The photographer was sweating, “I—I don’t know either. Professor Xalvadora said he was going to the restroom, and we waited for him in the hallway outside... He went in and didn’t come out for half an hour. We knocked on the door and got no response, fearing something had happened, we got the key and opened the door, only to find no one inside...” On the other side, Ariel Zimmerman and Amber Livingston, who heard the commotion, also arrived and caught the photographer’s words. “Could he have deliberately hidden himself?” Although their show had no undercover script, who knows if the show team was just stirring things up deliberately? Arranging for Dashiell to hide? The photographer shook his head. After discovering the disappearance, he immediately asked the director, and the director said there was no such script. “The hallway we were standing in is the only exit, and while the restroom has a window, an adult man couldn’t get through.” It seemed more like he had vanished into thin air in the restroom. Scarlett’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. A person couldn’t just disappear into thin air unless there was some non-human intervention. It must have been something supernatural in this house that did it. It was said that the more evil a person was, the more they were favored by evil ghosts. Because they harbored wicked thoughts stained with blood in their hearts. The original plan was to deal with it directly after it showed itself, but now it seemed it wasn’t in time. “Let’s split up and search for him first.” Scarlett said as she stepped downstairs, and Sebastian quickly followed when he saw her. The audience in the live broadcast boiled over. [“No way, no way? Did he really disappear? Isn’t this scripted?”] [“Dashiell, please don’t let anything happen to you.”] [“Everyone’s serious expressions don’t seem like they’re acting.”] [“A sudden disappearance, could there really be something dirty...”] [“Eh? Eh? Why is Scarlett going to the restroom where Dashiell disappeared?”] Everyone watched as Scarlett walked straight to the restroom where Dashiell had previously disappeared. However, before anyone could react, Scarlett quickly walked past, “I’m going to the restroom.” With that, she closed the door with a click. Sebastian and the two photographers beside him were dumbfounded and instinctively wanted to stop her. That restroom was where Dashiell had just disappeared, wasn’t she afraid? Though he wasn’t familiar with Scarlett, Sebastian was worried about her staying alone in the restroom risking something happening, even though he was anxious to find Dashiell, he couldn’t just leave Scarlett by herself. Inside the restroom, Scarlett paid no attention to the people outside, and as soon as she closed the door, she surveyed every corner of the restroom. Though faint, there was indeed residual shadow energy. But since the house itself was enveloped in shadow energy, this faint trace was not easily detectable. No wonder Evander hadn’t noticed. Her apricot eyes landed on the mirror in front of the restroom, and Scarlett took out a Traction Talisman from her bag. As long as a rune was placed on someone, the Traction Talisman could instantly restrain the other person’s actions or guide them to the other’s side. When she shook hands with Dashiell yesterday, she took the opportunity to imprint a rune on his palm. Originally, it was to prevent him from causing trouble during the recording. Now it was just perfect. In front of the live broadcast, the audience was unhappy with Scarlett suddenly entering the restroom. Especially among Dashiell’s fans. [“Dashiell is missing, and this woman still needs to use the restroom?! It’s infuriating!”] [“She’s just delaying, if anything happens to Dashiell, I swear I’ll curse her!”] [“Isn’t it normal for a girl to suddenly need a restroom? Why blame her? Plus, she didn’t cause Dashiell to disappear.”] [“But why does she have to go to the restroom at such a time, it’s really nerve-wracking...”] The live broadcast was in chaos, and just then, a sound suddenly played in the broadcast that had lost Scarlett’s feed. The voice was low and solemn, with a serene chant, “The way of man is emptiness, the sun and moon coexist, in times of trouble accompanying, command me to come swiftly!” The audience was first stunned, and the next second, someone started a barrage of comments. [“That sounds like my girl Scarlett’s voice!!”] [“Why didn’t she turn off her microphone in the restroom?”] That comment was quickly overwhelmed by others. She was clearly not using the restroom! Over there, Director Clark was flustered and upon hearing Scarlett’s chant, he felt a chill down his spine and hastily ordered the staff to check on Scarlett. The photographer in charge of Scarlett received the order, felt a bit confused, but still walked up to the restroom door and gently knocked, “Scarlett?” Inside, there was no response. Sebastian noticed something was wrong and quickly approached. Knocked again, still no sound from inside. Feeling an ominous foreboding, Sebastian called to bring the key. As the door opened, Director Clark almost went insane! Where was Scarlett?! Gone... Another one had disappeared.
