280 Trapped 1 (2/2)
Hearing the extreme distress in his fiancee's voice, he stopped and sighed. It was surely the ghost's fault. Or maybe his too since he probably made it retaliate by casting something weird on Wendy. While breaking the coin into two, he told her, ”Sofie, check her again. Instead of dispelling the spirit, dispel any residual whatever left by it. That should do the trick.”
Sofony communicated with her system again and purchased information on how to do what Gio suggested. Ver quietly watched from the sides.
'If this still doesn't work. It means something else is going on,' thought Gio who disregarded the unnerving cries and wails he began hearing.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
In his mind, he thought it must be something system-related, or a pinnacle illusion from a level 7 ghost half-host. It was regretful but beings like ghosts only knew how to do harm and not to dispel. No outside aid would be able to help her. She must battle it on her.
In the end, Wendy did not rouse from her sleep. And Ver became very hostile to Sofony.

When Chris woke up, the first thing that greeted him was a head-splitting headache that almost made him wish for death. Yet he found out that same headache could actually grow worse than it already was when his memories before he lost consciousness came back to him.
'Right... Leo Jones kidnapped Alessa and I, the stupid fool, went to rescue her. Where am I now?'
The cold-faced young man stood up from the bed and went to the window-side to sweep the thick red curtains made out of velvet to the side. Darkness entered his eyes after. Though a couple of seconds later, through the lights coming from the garden's lampposts below, he saw that there was someone running towards the parked car near a fountain.
It was Alessa who seemed to be anxious about something. He observed the place a bit and irritatedly told the damnable liar in his head.
”This is not the Morgans' mansion. Alessa's not yet called back by those people to the main house. There's also no way, she'll bring me to that place. Refund me the points or answer me seriously.”
”She didn't bring me to a hospital?”
”Shut up. Tell me next if Sofony and the others are still alive. If five days passed, how did her mission go?”
It started to narrate to him all that had happened. Of course, what it told him was limited to what it could access. There was no way for Chris' system to report to him about Leo Jones' current whereabouts and what truly happened to Sofia and her friend, Maila.
Chris went to check himself after and noticed no abnormalities in him. He looked around the room for a while and when he found no clothes he could change to, he purchased a set from the system and then headed out.
Nobody was in the whole house so even though the villa was relatively smaller than most, it seemed very huge since he was the only one there. In the living room, he found Alessa's laptop and used it to check all the other events that happened within the country while he was unconscious.
The man only sneered after seeing the rescue video that was still trending all over the world.
'Once I see that woman, I'll ask her what gets into her head to do something like this. Even if she has concealed her face from the camera and deleted all the videos, didn't she know that if those people higher-leveled than her who saw her inquired who she is, the system will still say who she is regardless of her disguise?'
Chris shook his head and went back to work, only calming down when he confirmed that Leo Jones' party did not make a move when he was unconscious. It must have something to do with Gio scaring the heck out of that troublesome bomber. For a while, he wondered if this meant it would be okay to assume they would be fine for some time...
