The Miraculous Simone Gray by Opal Reese novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252 She Must Return It

Simone and the other two individuals stepped out of the car, and Julian retrieved a bag from

the trunk.

They ventured into the woods, where the signal from the person they were tracking had disappeared.

Julian opened the bag and said, “Here are the clothes he wore during training, the notebooks he wrote in, and some photos.”

Simone had already seen the photos.

On the day when Julian asked for her help, she contacted him after returning home.

She requested that he find a photo first and show it to her for physiognomy.

This way, they could determine if the person was still alive.

If he was alive, they needed to save him quickly and not waste any time.

Unfortunately, the result was regrettable. The person had indeed sacrificed himself half a month ago.

Because they needed to find the remains and Julian was being watched during those days, they waited until now to come.

Simone took out three ancient coins and rolled them on the photos.

Then she picked up the clothes and notebooks that the person had used and infused their aura into the ancient coins.

She held the ancient coins in her hands, covered them with her palms, and recited a spell in

front of her mouth.

Then, she threw the ancient coins on the ground and examined the hexagram.

This was not the kind of divination used for fortune-telling, so they didn’t need to throw the coins three times like in fortune-telling.

She picked up the ancient coins and said, “We should go in the southeast direction!” and took

the lead.

Julian packed up their belongings and followed Simone and Zac

Along the way, Simone threw the coins five times and followed the directions indicated by

the hexagram.

Finally, they arrived at a high mountain and discovered a hidden cave covered by grass.

They pushed aside the grass and entered the cave.

Julian retrieved a flashlight from his backpack.

Then he examined the ground and said, “There are footprints, and it’s not just one person. There are also dried bloodstains.”

Simone also noticed, “Let’s go in and take a look.”

As they ventured deeper into the cave, the three of them came across a corpse.

This cave was concealed among the mountains, and the entrance was not very large.

It was also covered by tall grass outside, resulting in poor air circulation and low temperature.

Due to these unique conditions, the body had not decomposed yet and appeared as if it had only died a few days ago.

Julian’s eyes welled up with tears. “It’s him.”

Julian approached and carefully picked up the body.

After searching, they found nothing.

And they could see signs of digging around, indicating that someone else had also discovered this place.

After learning of their comrade’s death, they too wanted to find something.

After they exited the cave, the lighting significantly improved.

Julian expressed his gratitude to Simone, saying, “I really appreciate your help this time.”

Otherwise, his comrade’s body would have turned into bones in this remote location, unable to be properly buried.

He also couldn’t help but marvel at Simone’s strong geomancy and mystical arts abilities.

They had previously sought the help of geomancy masters, but all attempts had failed.

This time, he had only tried as a last resort, but surprisingly, it worked.

Simone shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.”

Then, her gaze fell upon the body Julian was holding.

She asked, “There were traces of someone searching for something in the cave before. Did he have something important on him?”

“It’s very likely that he had obtained the item we were searching for during our previous

mission.”

Julian sighed, “But it seems like someone might have taken it beforehand.”

He had also searched earlier but found nothing.

However, Simone said, “No, it’s still on him.”

Julian looked at her in surprise, “On him? I just searched and didn’t find anything!” Simone replied, “Put him down.”

“Open the bandage on his left arm where he was injured.”
