With a mobile boots talisman affixed to his body, Skylar breezed through the mountains, rushing through all hurdles without hesitation.
But as the thread of smoke entered deeper into the forest, it began to falter under the thick mountain fog. What had been a clear guiding line now split and scattered.
If even a mystic master like him could be affected, what about Olivia, who was just an ordinary person? Though she carried a protective talisman…
Suddenly, something clicked in his mind—a protective talisman!
The talisman had Shannon's spiritual energy. In theory, she could use it to sense the holder's location, but Shannon was currently in Seastone and too far to offer immediate help. It'd take time for her to rush here.
Skylar forced himself to calm down and think. After a few moments, he remembered something else. "I wonder if she has it on her…"
Given that they were shooting a scene and Olivia hadn't brought her phone, the odds that she carried the paper figure were slim, but what if she did?
Skylar decided to give it a shot.
After putting the phone away, he pierced his fingertip and squeezed out a single drop of blood. With the blood as a medium, he formed a mudra and attempted to reestablish the sensation with his clone paper figure.
The paper figure contained his spiritual energy and was tied most deeply to him. If Olivia had it on her, there was a chance he could find her.
The drop of blood shimmered and turned into a wisp of mystic light that shot into the fog. Moments later, Skylar sensed that the sensation with the paper figure had been restored.
He reached out to probe its location, and his eyes soon lit up. The paper figure was still in the mountains, and it was with Olivia!
"I should've just asked Skylar for help…"
She'd stubbornly refused to text him for help last night, and now, she'd lost her chance.
Just as she was wallowing in regret, she felt a strange warmth at her chest. She looked down and tugged at her collar to check when she locked eyes with the paper figure peeking out from inside her shirt.
Yes. Though the paper figure had no eyes, she could feel their gazes meet.
Her clear eyes widened as she watched the paper figure crawl out from her collar. Her voice broke in a mix of surprise and delight as she exclaimed, "Y-You can move!"
She'd thought it'd been reduced to a usual paper cutout after delivering the medicine.
