Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Body Borrowing

Director Clark hung up the phone with the agent, a worried expression almost darkening his face.

Momo Ross secretly stashing a found Golden Bracelet, in the entertainment industry, wasn’t really a big deal.

After all, in this industry, truth and lies mingle; everyone appears gloriously radiant from the outside, but what goes on in reality, those in the know, would understand.

It’s just that, in the eyes of fans and netizens, such behavior would be infinitely magnified.

This... was actually not a major problem!

What left Director Clark speechless was that if you hide it, you hide it. If you can’t handle it and stir up trouble, you should at least admit it.

But instead, she insisted on shifting the blame, accusing others of not dealing with it properly.

Now, to find someone to help resolve it, Director Clark felt embarrassed to even bring it up.

Scratching his head, Director Clark finally skipped over Scarlett Jennings and directly asked Evander Simpson and Amber Livingston.

"If we can’t solve the problem with this Golden Bracelet, we can’t continue recording the show... Taoist Qingchen, Amber Livingston, do you have any way to handle this bracelet?"

Hearing Director Clark speak, Momo Ross, though her first instinct was to let Scarlett Jennings handle it, thought of how bluntly Scarlett had spoken earlier, and was afraid she’d made up her mind not to help. So she turned her gaze, pleading at Evander Simpson and Amber Livingston.

Even if it meant losing a few years of lifespan, she didn’t want her youth stolen!

She didn’t want to become old!

Amber Livingston looked into the pleading eyes of the beauty. Though he wanted to show off, he was keenly aware of his own abilities, only managing to feign depth,

"Momo, I’d love to help you, but with matters involving borrowing life spans, even the Immortal Family can’t assist. I’m sorry."

He spoke sincerely; Momo Ross didn’t insist but turned to Evander Simpson.

The latter’s expression was serious, yet he said,

"If it were a regular method of borrowing lifespan, I could manage, but this method involves borrowing appearances and filling discarded objects with ashes, something I’m hearing for the first time and find rather baffling."

After all, whether it was borrowing lifespan, fortune, or appearance, these should be used on the living.

Especially for those near death who need to borrow others’ lifespans for a chance to continue living.

So, those wrapped with valuables usually carry only hair or nails.

But the other party used ashes, indicating the borrowing target was a dead person!

This is not merely about borrowing lifespan.

For Momo Ross, Evander Simpson was the second hope, and when she heard him say he was baffled, she couldn’t help but get anxious.

"How can you be baffled? Didn’t your Talisman Paper just burn that thing yesterday? Can’t you just make a more powerful Talisman?"

Momo Ross’s words were purely from an outsider’s perspective, taken for granted.

Not to mention that creating Talismans isn’t that simple. Yesterday’s Exorcism Talisman managed to handle the bracelet easily because Scarlett Jennings used Spiritual Power to drive the Spirit Talisman.

After all, yesterday when Momo Ross picked up the bracelet, the initially established contract was very weak and easily broken.

But after yesterday, according to Scarlett Jennings, Momo Ross had already lost five years of youth, and the destroyed Golden Bracelet returned to Momo Ross, indicating its owner had chosen her.

Evander Simpson couldn’t determine whether the bracelet’s owner was a person or a ghost.

He didn’t respond to Momo Ross but turned to Scarlett Jennings,

"Sister Scarlett, you know more about this than I do. Can you shed some light on this?"

Scarlett Jennings didn’t intend to get involved again. If Momo Ross had asked, she would certainly have ignored it. But since it was Evander Simpson asking, she didn’t mind explaining.

"Have you ever heard of a kind of magic called Body Borrowing?"

With that reminder, Evander Simpson’s pupils suddenly shrank. "You mean..."

"Living people borrow lifespan, dead people borrow bodies. It’s similar to Reincarnation, but what they borrow is the body of the living."

The moment Scarlett Jennings spoke, everyone present felt a chill up their spine, even Momo Ross couldn’t help but tremble.

Didn’t they just say it was about borrowing appearances?!

How did it become reincarnation by borrowing bodies?

Seeing the doubt in everyone’s hearts, Scarlett Jennings didn’t mind explaining more clearly.

"Body Borrowing magic generally involves wearing the ashes of the deceased, allowing the deceased soul to gradually replace the other, returning to life in the world. Initially, it consumes the appearance of the borrowed body.

"As mentioned before, by looking at a person’s face, we can see their past, future, and kinship bonds. One could say a face is a reflection of one’s fate.

"A deceased soul coming back to life and possessing a body is easily discovered, but borrowing a body is not. This is because it first consumes the appearance of the borrowed body. When everyone becomes aware of changes, it slowly alters the person’s appearance, then mannerisms, dialect, preferences, and so on.

"Until the borrowed body becomes the other person entirely, that’s when the body borrowing is successful."

Silence filled the room as everyone listened to Scarlett Jennings speak.

In the live broadcast room, it wasn’t until Scarlett Jennings finished that the bullet comments began to appear.

[This sounds so scary. Is there really such a horrifying magic? Doesn’t it essentially steal a person’s entire life?]

[I feel like Scarlett Jennings knows a lot, and it doesn’t seem like she’s making it up!]

[Try making this up and see if you can!]

[What she described sounds somewhat similar to some current reincarnation system novels, where the reincarnator, through system-given rewards, gradually changes their appearance, becomes more beautiful... and the reincarnator is another person, with habits and preferences from another!]

[Does anyone else think of a certain actress? I’ve watched her facial shape change bit by bit, fans said she had plastic surgery, and she admitted it. But the key is, since she started the ’plastic surgery,’ her temperament and character seemed to transform into another person!]

[I know who you’re talking about! Previously, netizens joked that the actress was possessed! Now I feel this is real, boo hoo...]

[Is anyone going to dig deeper into this? Is this rumor substantial?]

[You should ask Scarlett Jennings.]

[Hey, who allowed you to directly address Master Jennings’s name like that?!]

Bystanders conducted a spread analysis based on Scarlett Jennings’s body borrowing characteristics.

Momo Ross’s fans became frantic.

While some ridiculed Scarlett Jennings for spouting nonsense and scaring people, others started to believe it, continuously reminding in the comments.

[Momo, stop being stubborn! Apologize to Master Jennings and ask her to handle that bracelet for you!]

[I’m so anxious! Does the agent know about this? Sister is about to be body-borrowed; shouldn’t the management company step in?]

[Sister, please listen to advice! In such matters, it’s better to believe than not!]

[Sister Scarlett, we’re sorry for insulting you earlier, please save our sister!]

Desperate fans, fearing Scarlett Jennings wouldn’t see their messages, flooded Scarlett Jennings’s personal live broadcast room with gifts.

Some fans took to Weibo, following, liking, and commenting in one go, only hoping Scarlett Jennings would help Momo Ross.

The trending search quietly climbed to number one again.
