"An altar? What exactly is this place?"
Ji Qian had assumed that Nora was completely unaware of this, and never expected to obtain any information about the place from her.
"...Actually, I don't know much about it either. I only heard my father mention when I was a child that there was an altar in the castle's basement used to worship the Father, which my grandfather built when he was young."
My father even threatened my brother and me, saying that if we didn't behave, he would send us before God to reflect on our actions.
Have you been here before?
“No,” Nora shook her head, a complex expression in her eyes:
“My father has always loved me very much. Before this, I always thought that this place was a fabrication to scare us. I never thought that my husband, who had been missing for many years, would appear here.”
Nora's feelings were extremely complicated. She couldn't understand why her father, who had always doted on her, would one day be involved in her husband's death.
Ji Qian did not comment on this, but silently noted the information revealed in Nora's words, and then continued to ask:
"Was it you we saw last night?"
Ji Qian had assumed the answer to this question was already clear, and asked this question only to lead into the next one.
But to Ji Qian's surprise, Nora hesitated for a moment and gave an answer that he had not anticipated:
Not entirely.
Realizing that Ji Qian hadn't understood her meaning, Nora explained:
"Although I have been more and more lucid over the past few hundred years, I still occasionally lose control of my body, as was the case last night."
When did you recover?
"I recovered after seeing you. I rushed up to grab you, but the space suddenly collapsed, so I had to grab the person closest to me."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qian breathed a sigh of relief. If she had been the one arrested last night, she really couldn't guarantee what she would have done under the pressure.
Imagine if it was Sister Qian who was kidnapped...
The scene is too beautiful for me to bear.
Ji Qian will probably raze this castle to the ground.
Haha, then this place really becomes a historical 'relic'!
[Director Liu: You all better shut your heads!]
[Haha, don't be so harsh! Director Liu's life is precious too!]
"Then I have one last question."
"Um?"
Nora thought Ji Qian would ask many more questions, so she even adjusted her posture to be more comfortable. She didn't expect Ji Qian to ask the last question so quickly.
Ji Qian ignored Nora's surprised gaze. She put down her phone, which she was using to take notes, and stared intently at the woman in front of her, saying in a deep voice:
"I want to know everything you went through in the monastery."
In fact, this was the question Ji Qian most wanted to ask.
Ji Qian could deduce most of the other problems based on the existing clues, but she had no clue about this one at all.
Seeing Nolan's expression stiffen unconsciously after hearing the question, Ji Qian knew she had made the right bet this time.
When Nora heard the word 'monastery', it was as if a thunderbolt had struck her mind. She stiffened her neck and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Just as Ji Qian was about to urge her on, Nora finally opened her mouth, but instead of answering Ji Qian's question immediately, she asked in return:
Does what I've been through matter to you?
Ji Qian didn't rush to answer the question. She straightened up and moved closer to Nora. Her height, which was originally slightly taller than Wang Yingying, suddenly exuded a sense of oppression.
“It doesn’t matter to me, but it does matter to some people.”
As Ji Qian spoke, she glanced at the pyramid on the ground beside her.
Guided by Ji Qian, Nora unconsciously looked towards the pyramids.
Nora clenched her hands instinctively after just one glance. Her panicked eyes were suddenly overwhelmed by sadness, and it took her a long time to regain her composure.
Nora stared in the direction of the pyramids in silence for a long time, as if recalling many things. Then she looked up at the assistant director who was holding a camera and recording.
Upon seeing this, Ji Qian immediately understood what she meant and quickly waved for the assistant director to come out and wait.
The assistant director wasn't stupid either; he naturally understood the meaning behind Ji Qian's gestures, but...
The assistant director covered the sound recording equipment and whispered to Ji Qian:
“Teacher Ji, I am not allowed to leave without permission according to the rules, but if you ‘force’ me to do so, I believe Director Liu will understand.”
Ji Qian understood immediately.
Ignoring the assistant director's 'resistance,' she forcefully threw him and the camera equipment out of the room.
After dealing with the assistant director, Ji Qian turned her attention to Earl Lanruer, who was still sulking in the corner.
But before Ji Qian could make a move, Nora stopped her:
"He's not young anymore, so it's not a bad thing for him to know more."
Therefore, with the permission of the parties involved, Count Lanruer was fortunate enough to be granted the right to attend the hearing.
Is there anything I, as a VIP member, can't watch?!
[The assistant director is no good; no wonder he hasn't been promoted to a full-fledged director after all these years.]
Director Liu was overjoyed.
[Help! I really want to know what they're saying in there!]
[What is Ji Qian up to, talking about privacy when it's a ghost?!]
[If the person involved doesn't allow it, there's nothing Sister Qian can do.]
[Exactly! Even ghosts have their rights!]
[One person writes a petition in blood demanding the enactment of a "Ghost Rights Protection Law"!]
Half an hour later, Ji Qian opened the door and reappeared in front of the camera.
The assistant director, who was resting on the floor, noticed the door open and instinctively raised his camera to record. However, he was so frightened by Ji Qian's unpleasant expression that he almost dropped the camera.
Viewers watching the live stream on their screens were also startled by the sudden appearance of the image.
