Ghost Exorciser: The Oust Fake Heiress Strikes-Chapter 376: Array Stone

She already knew the kinds of plots that would become popular in the coming years.

Even if she did not copy anyone else’s ideas, she could still write many stories based on her own experiences.

After everything that had happened in her life, she had more than enough material.

After spending an entire day relaxing and having fun, Lana felt unusually tired once she returned home.

For the first time in a long while, she decided to skip both cultivation and talisman practice.

Even Mr. Crow did not object.

From his perspective, Lana was still young. If she spent every moment of her youth working endlessly, she might eventually regret it.

So he simply nodded and allowed her to rest.

That night, Lana fell asleep quickly.

But her sleep brought a strange dream.

Normally, whenever she dreamed of Lucian, he appeared in his usual quiet room.

But this time...

The place was different.

The surroundings were dark.

At first, Lana did not understand what was happening.

Then she saw him.

Lucian stood quietly in the darkness.

When he turned around and looked at her, Lana immediately smiled.

"There you are."

She walked toward him casually.

But this time, something felt different.

Lucian’s expression was unusually serious.

Before Lana could speak again, he reached forward and held her hand.

His voice was deep and firm.

"Lana, you shouldn’t wait for me for the next two days."

Lana blinked. "What?"

Lucian continued calmly.

"For the next two days, I won’t be able to enter your dreams."

His grip tightened slightly. "And during those two days ..."

His gaze turned sharp. "Do not meet my uncle."

Lana froze.

Lucian continued. "If possible, stay near Axel."

Lana looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Lucian stared at her silently for a moment. Then he spoke quietly.

"There are things I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time."

He paused. "But I always held myself back."

Before Lana could react, Lucian suddenly leaned forward.

His lips pressed against hers firmly.

For a brief moment, Lana was completely stunned.

But soon she responded to the kiss just as passionately.

By now, their meetings inside dreams had become almost routine.

And strangely enough, she had begun missing him more than she realized.

After a long moment, Lucian slowly pulled away.

His eyes held a strange glitter.

Reluctantly, he cupped Lana’s face in his hands.

"I’ll see you again in two days."

And just like that... He vanished.

Lana instinctively reached out her hand toward the empty space.

But Lucian was already gone.

She frowned slightly.

’Was that really just a dream...?’

The Lucian she met inside the dream just now behaved like the real Lucian.

If that was truly him...

Then why did he allow her to do whatever she wanted before?

Nothing about it made sense.

Just as she was deep in thought, the dream suddenly ended.

Lana woke up.

Morning sunlight streamed through the window.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly sat up.

After washing up, she walked downstairs for breakfast.

Just as she was about to sit down, Axel arrived.

The moment Lana saw his face, she immediately noticed something unusual.

His expression was grim.

A faint tension hung in the air. Lana frowned.

"What happened?"

Axel folded his arms and spoke calmly.

"You should check the news."

Lana turned on the television.

The moment the broadcast appeared on the screen, her eyes widened.

A major discovery had just been announced.

Someone had discovered a method to create arrays.

And an ancient book about Array had also been unearthed.

Lana stared at the screen in disbelief.

’Array... already?’

According to her memories, Array should not have appeared until two years later.

So why were they appearing now?

Her mind immediately began racing.

Then a possibility suddenly appeared in her thoughts.

’Bloodspire Mountain...’

She had mentioned that place to Lucian before.

Which meant there was a very high chance that Lucian had leaked the information.

Curious, Lana quickly pulled out her phone and searched the internet.

A moment later, she let out a quiet sigh of relief. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Fortunately, no one had yet discovered the real materials needed to create Array.

The crystals required for Aries, Lotus Aether crystals, were located deep within Bloodspire Mountain.

And that information had not yet been revealed.

That knowledge originally appeared two years later.

And honestly...

It would be better if it still appeared two years later.

During the process of researching Array stones, scientists would eventually discover many other minerals and crystals.

Those materials later became essential components for numerous powerful technologies and equipment.

If everything were revealed too early, many of those discoveries might never happen.

Lana leaned back slightly.

"Do you even understand what is going to happen now?" Axel asked with a frown.

Lana blinked and looked at him with a curious gaze.

"Lucian works under his uncle. Since his uncle has already learned about this information, he will definitely try to force Lucian to extract more details about this Array."

Hearing those words, Lana frowned deeply.

"Why would his uncle even do such a thing? Does he know that Lucian knows something related to Array?"

Axel looked at her with surprise flashing across his face.

"Lucian knows something like that?"

The moment those words left his mouth, Lana suddenly realized something.

’He doesn’t know...’

Her chest tightened slightly.

Axel did not know that the Lotus Aether was actually the core stone required to create the Array. And more importantly, it was only found at Bloodspire Mountain... a territory that belonged to Lucian.

That piece of information had been shared with only one person. Lucian.

Taking a slow breath, Lana steadied herself and decided to explain everything to Axel, unaware of the consequences that might follow from revealing the truth.

Axel stood frozen for a moment after hearing her explanation. His expression stiffened before he slowly inhaled and composed himself.

"Lucian’s uncle might not be doing this because he knows Lucian’s personal situation. It is more likely because he knows Lucian is a spirit summoner. Someone like him could greatly assist in locating Array stones."
