The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1256

Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256: Extra Story: You Have His Corpse Energy on You

"Corpse energy? What does that mean?"

The girl, Fayella, instinctively felt curious, and Mrs. and Mr. Dixon were equally puzzled.

Master Gibson explained,

"People who have been in contact with corpses usually carry some corpse energy, and the concentration on you..."

She leaned closer to sniff and then confidently said,

"...indicates you’ve been in contact for at least three days."

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Dixon’s expressions changed.

According to the four survivors’ account, they had carried Declan Dixon’s body for a day before deciding to leave it at a location.

If what they said is true, Declan Dixon died on the seventh day. Their contact with the body shouldn’t exceed a day at most.

A corpse wouldn’t start emitting corpse energy immediately, and the time required would be less than a day.

But now, Master Gibson says it’s at least three days, which can only mean Fayella and the others lied!

Mrs. Dixon clearly realized this too, and hatred filled her eyes as she looked at Fayella,

"Tell us, did you lie? Did you keep my son’s body with you until you were rescued?! Did you..."

...eat him.

The last few words were too choked to utter.

Just imagining the possibility feels like her heart is being torn apart.

Having already lost their son, the couple was devastated and couldn’t bear the thought of his body being treated in such a horrifying way.

Facing Mrs. Dixon’s anger, Fayella’s eyes reddened too,

"Auntie, no! We didn’t lie! I don’t know why she said I have corpse energy on me. We did carry Declan’s body for a while; perhaps it was during that time that I got tainted, but definitely not for three days!"

She spoke with certainty, a look of wronged urgency on her face.

Master Gibson didn’t alter her statement based on the explanation, steadfast in her own perception.

"What I sensed was indeed more than three days."

She’s absolutely professional when it comes to detecting corpse energy.

Mr. Dixon intervened sternly,

"Master Gibson is a skilled expert we hired specifically for finding the body. I believe in her judgment. Whatever you concealed during those missing days, we will get to the bottom of it once we find my son’s body."

Seeing that neither Mr. nor Mrs. Dixon believed her, Fayella felt powerless. Gathering her composure after a while, she said,

"I didn’t lie, but I know saying anything now is useless. Let’s wait until Declan’s body is found."

She then turned to Master Gibson,

"I came today to guide you all. Even though you are experts, this is your first time in the mountains,

while I’ve been here before and still remember the location of Declan’s body. If I guide you, it’ll save a lot of time."

The Dixon couple was unwilling to let Fayella get involved, fearing she might sabotage the search.

Unexpectedly, Master Gibson agreed promptly.

Not only was Fayella’s reason compelling, but she also carried Declan’s corpse energy, which was crucial.

Furthermore, she wanted to find Declan’s body quickly, not just to reveal the truth but also to give peace to the grieving parents who lost their child.

Having Master Gibson agree, the Dixon couple ceased their objections.

Meanwhile, Ashton Todd had swiftly set up an array using stones as they conversed.

The sound of a suona horn filled the air, and the Underworld’s power transformed into a strand of silk thread, wrapping around Mr. and Mrs. Dixon and Fayella, extracting from them a trace of familial and corpse energy.

These energies were drawn into the array via the thread.

Master Gibson simultaneously performed the mantra to activate the array.
