Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Everyone Online for the Manhunt

"Inspiration" broadcasted and trended online again.

Even though it was still early, quite a few people clicked into the live stream after seeing it trending.

Previously, this program had gone viral three times, so many netizens were familiar with it. Seeing it trending again wasn’t surprising; they watched out of curiosity.

Meanwhile, Director Clark noticed that fans of Momo Ross were flocking to Scarlett Jennings’s live stream to give gifts. He realized this wasn’t a simple matter and that the program’s continuation depended on handling the issue.

After much consideration, he still approached Scarlett Jennings,

"Scarlett... Do you have a way?"

After all, it’s a matter of life and death.

Even though Evander Simpson felt that Momo Ross hadn’t been entirely honest before, as a cultivator, he couldn’t just stand by. However, he had no idea what to do, so he looked to Scarlett Jennings.

The other guests obviously thought the same.

Though Scarlett Jennings was the youngest among the guests, she commanded the highest respect!

Scarlett Jennings, seeing the situation, looked at Momo Ross but didn’t speak.

She could help her but would never offer assistance eagerly.

Rushing to help would make it seem like an obligation, more likely to be taken for granted.

Momo Ross met Scarlett Jennings’s clear gaze, her heart trembled, and she couldn’t hold back any longer. Pride was meaningless now.

Her eyes turned red, and she spoke with a choked voice,

"Scarlett... Master Jennings, it was all my fault before. I truly know I was wrong. Could you help me... I..."

I don’t want to die.

Scarlett Jennings had held out this long to see her attitude. Now that she was willing to face the situation, she felt she had taught her enough of a lesson.

Retracting her gaze, Scarlett Jennings remained expressionless and spoke softly,

"The magic of body borrowing sounds frightening, but it’s actually not something to be overly concerned about. Since even Clear Breeze Temple disciples haven’t heard of it, it shows that it’s rarely used, and the reason it isn’t sought after is that successful cases of borrowing a body are extremely rare."

Scarlett Jennings continued,

"Besides needing the same age and zodiac sign, the medium used to borrow the body must remain on the person for at least a year.

While the golden bracelet’s owner bound you the moment you hid it, as long as we find the mastermind and handle their medium, the bracelet can be dealt with easily."

"A year?" Ariel Zimmerman couldn’t help but widen her eyes, "Who would knowingly wear something cursed for a year?"

Her expression suggested no one would be that silly, making Scarlett Jennings want to laugh.

Sebastian Carew, who had been listening intently to Scarlett Jennings, started musing and timely remarked,

"Scarlett just said the bracelet bound someone. I guess that means no matter how many times it’s discarded, it would reappear intact, just like now."

Scarlett Jennings raised her eyebrows, a bit surprised that Sebastian Carew was analyzing this, but she nodded to confirm his guess.

It was only then that Ariel Zimmerman looked at the ’returning’ bracelet, shuddered, and clung to Scarlett Jennings’s sleeve, refusing to let go.

Momo Ross had seen the smashed golden bracelet suddenly reappear, so she didn’t dare continue pretending and quickly lowered her stance to ask,

"Scarlett, Master Jennings, what should I do now?"

Scarlett Jennings, as if to say she didn’t have Sebastian’s intelligence, slowly blinked and stated matter-of-factly,

"Just call the police."

Everyone: ???

Live stream viewers: ???

[Wait, I was expecting you to deal with the bracelet, and you told me to call the police???]

[I suspect my internet just lagged. I was clearly in the supernatural channel. Why did it suddenly switch to the police channel?]

[Don’t doubt this woman too soon, I’m afraid you’ll be proven wrong.]

[Why call her a woman? That’s my wife! Everything my wife says has a reason!]

[Just listen! Trust Scarlett, she’s right!]

[Call the police! Scarlett says call the police! Do it right away!]

And then, the netizens witnessed a miraculous moment again.

[Sea City Police Station: Noted.]

The official account went live again to comment, and the netizens buzzed with excitement.

Meanwhile, in the live stream, Scarlett Jennings didn’t disappoint the official account, directly explaining,

"For the magic of body borrowing, the borrower must be a new soul within a week of death. Extract the ashes from the golden bracelet to confirm it was burned a few days ago. Then investigate the list of deceased women from that day with birthdays matching Momo Ross’s to determine the borrower."

"Additionally, focus on investigating those close to the deceased, especially lovers and parents, who desperately hope for their daughter’s revival. Check if they recently appeared around Momo Ross. Once identified, we don’t need to handle the matter further."

Once Scarlett Jennings finished speaking, the live stream chat fell silent momentarily before exploding with comments.

[Wow...]

[I’m amazed!]

[No wonder she’s the top scorer in our national exams; even her ghost-catching methods are logically scientific!]

[Dear, please accept my admiration!]

[Sea City Police Station: On the move.]

[Although the girl’s analysis is clear, it’s risky to declare it so openly in the live stream because the perpetrator might also be watching!]

These words immediately reminded the live stream audience, who quickly expressed worry.

Scarlett Jennings couldn’t see the comments, but her gaze seemed to pierce the camera.

Her clear and attractive eyes seemed capable of seeing through everything.

She looked at the camera, then added softly,

"No one needs to worry. I believe the person behind this is definitely watching the live stream, but even if they are, they can’t escape."

As she spoke, her eyes seemed to hold a slight mocking glint,

"Because the borrower’s ashes can’t be far from the borrowed body unless you’re willing to voluntarily cut off the magic, give up the borrowing, and accept the pain of backlash."

That last sentence was more of a challenge to the mastermind than an explanation for the viewers.

Director Clark, along with the audience, admired Scarlett Jennings.

Despite her young age, her presence and courage seemed to loom ten feet tall.

After a brief silence in the live stream, the viewers broke into cheers once again.

[Sister is so cool, I love her!]

[Anyone who harms my wife, I’ll be the first to hunt them down!]

[Yes, you, the mastermind watching the live stream! The police will catch you soon! Don’t think of running!]

In a daze, there was even a thrilling sense of tracking a criminal live.

As Scarlett Jennings predicted, in a high-end apartment in Sea City, a scruffy man clutched an iPad tightly. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Scarlett Jennings in the live stream, filled with resentful hatred.

After a long silence, he tremblingly reached for the wine glass beside him, downing its contents in one gulp, then hurled the glass to the side!

The glass shattered on the floor amid the man’s sinister and frantic curses.

"Damn it! Scarlett Jennings! Damn you!"
