Peanut tilted its head, looking full of confusion. It appeared the person Shannon wanted it to find was a… ghost.
After an hour of waiting, Shannon tracked Peanut's location by its energy and eventually arrived at a rental apartment. When she entered, she saw a female ghost crouching in the corner, with Peanut bouncing on and off her body.
Then, she peeked at the only source of light in that dark apartment—the screen monitor, surprised to realize that the author she had been looking for turned out to be a spirit.
No wonder the police couldn't lock onto her IP address, as ghastly energy could affect the magnetic field of the Internet.
The female ghost before her might seem weakened in her ghastly energy, but she was definitely capable of disrupting the police's search after her.
"Are you Shannon Jensen?"
With Shannon's sudden appearance, Isabel felt like she had found her savior. Agitatedly, she floated from the corner of the walls and displayed a pitiful, pleading look. "Help me, Ms. Jensen! There's a ghost here!"
Who could understand the terror she felt when a mandrake-root-looking infant spirit popped up on her screen while she was minding her business, typing away?
It was an infant spirit, yet its ghastly energy was much more powerful than hers! Surely, she couldn't defeat it…
Shannon glanced at the pitiful female ghost, who had hidden behind her, then at the innocent-looking Peanut before falling silent.
Had she forgotten she was a ghost herself? Besides, after dispelling its grudge energy, Peanut looked nothing more like a sweet, plumpy, adorable baby. What was so scary about it?
Without further ado, Shannon lifted her hand at Peanut.
Bouncing on its chubby feet, it floated toward her and landed on her palm. Then, with a childlike voice, it reported, "Shannon, I found it. It's a ghost."
Their interaction rendered even a ghost like Isabel stunned.
