The white figure standing in front of Qin Lun's bed was somewhat illusory, with a blurry face, like a 3D projection with extremely poor image quality. Seeing the doctor sitting up from the bed unhurriedly, the white figure floated back a certain distance before re-stabilizing his figure.
"Doctor Stan, have you already learned my identity?" A surprised female voice sounded in Qin Lun's mind.
"I noticed it when I was in the cemetery. This time I followed the exorcist into the Maya Forest, and we got a note in Witch Meisha's hut, which has a record about you!" Qin Lun said flatly said, "And what about that Mary Albert tombstone?"
"That tombstone is not the real thing, it's just my illusion!" The white figure sighed softly, "I originally wanted to arouse your curiosity and come to you without alarming that person, but you later joined the exorcist. Man, I dare not come to you again!"
"Then why are you looking for me now? Have you started trusting me again?" Qin Lun stuffed the pillow behind his back to make himself more comfortable, "What should I call you?"
"After marrying Stephen, Marie Claire has already died. Please call me Nina!" Nina tilted her head and said peacefully, "You saved me and Stephen's child, I should come to thank you!"
"There are many exorcists in the castle now, aren't you afraid that I will hand you over to them?" Qin Lun narrowed his eyes habitually.
"Hehe, my spirit body is about to disappear. I came here this time just to thank you. The other things are irrelevant!" Nina covered her mouth and chuckled, not caring about Qin Lun's threatening words.
"Spiritual body? Isn't this your magic?" Qin Lun frowned slightly and asked in surprise, "You really..."
"Magic? Haha, I died a year ago!" Nina couldn't help shaking her head as if hearing a little joke, "As a witch, my soul is connected to the core. If the core is broken, then I My soul will also dissipate quickly. My body died more than a year ago, but I don’t know why, but I feel that my heart core was broken in the last two days!”
"The heart core was only broken in the last two days... so it is!" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows.
He suddenly remembered Witch Meisha who had two cores. It seemed that her second core must be Nina. Although Witch Meisha recorded the incident more than a year ago in her monitoring notes, she concealed the process of obtaining her second core, probably because she wanted to avoid being watched by other witches.
After Nina's core was broken, she didn't disappear immediately, and her soul survived until now, so... Qin Lun frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.
"Thank you, my wish has been fulfilled, after dawn, I'm afraid it will disappear." Nina's ghost pulled at the hem of her skirt, bowed and saluted, "Doctor Stan, I wish you all the best in the future, I won't bother you You rest!"
"Please wait, Ms. Nina, can you answer some questions for me?" Qin Lun came to his senses and hurriedly called Nina's ghost.
"Of course, you can ask me!" Nina was slightly taken aback, then turned around again.
"From Witch Meisha's notes, we found that Baron Albert brought two magical creatures to hunt you down more than a year ago." Qin Lun asked after thinking for a while.
"However, apart from mentioning your death, the notes did not record the situation of Stephen and Miller. I have seen Stephen's tomb, which is empty, and Miller's disease should have been infected at that time. I think The question is, is your escape related to the discovery of your identity as a witch by the Albert family? Is Stephen alive or dead now? What happened to the disease that Miller infected?"
"...I can't tell you, these are all secrets belonging to the Albert family!" Nina was silent for a long while, then finally sighed and shook her head, "Although Baron Albert made Miller lose his parents at the same time, this is The responsibility of the Albert family for generations. Miller... still has to rely on the Albert family!"
"You mean, the Albert family did not violate the duties of exorcists?" Qin Lun asked lightly.
"Of course! Baron Albert killed me, but I don't blame him." Nina said helplessly, "A thousand years of duty, a thousand years of protection, a thousand years of glory, this is the family motto of the Albert family. It's just a little too heavy!"
"Then what about Stephen? If Stephen is not dead, don't you want your husband to be liberated? After all, he is not an exorcist, so he doesn't have to make sacrifices for it!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed. Desperate for nothing, he changed his direction of exploration.
"Stephen... My Stephen can't come back!" Nina looked a little sad.
"Ms. Nina, one last question. For more than a year, why didn't you seek help from other people? For example: Stephen's younger sister, Miss Laura, she also cares about Master Miller!" Qin Lun asked lightly .
"The place where I died was on the other side of the Jiguan River, near the edge of the Maya Forest, and I couldn't leave it too far!" Nina said lightly, "As for Laura... I don't want to disturb her life anymore!"
"Doctor Stan, it's time for me to leave. Thank you once again for saving my son!" Nina turned and floated out of the window.
"Ms. Nina, don't you want to see Miller and Elizabeth again before disappearing?" Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly.
Nina's white figure trembled slightly, but it didn't stay any longer and floated out of the window.
This time, Qin Lun did not keep Nina's ghost. He knew that if he continued to ask, there might be no results. Although he wanted the answer, Qin Lun had already heard a lot from Nina's words.
The contents of Witch Mesa's notes have been confirmed, and Stephen's wife is indeed a Mayan witch. From this point of view, the second piece of information in the notes is also credible. Baron Albert did hunt them down with two magical creatures, killed Nina, and brought back Stephen and Miller.
Although there is no evidence, Qin Lun believes that Nina is not lying, and the Albert family should not deviate from their duties as exorcists. However, in this way, the clues about Stephen's life and death, and the reason why Miller contracted the disease were cut off.
Qin Lun leaned against the soft pillow, closed his eyes and meditated. Although Nina's appearance did not reveal all the truth, he was not disappointed. Nina didn't know, and the doctor actually didn't expect her to give an answer directly, but confirmed some of his conjectures from her reaction.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Doctor Stan, are you awake?" The knock on the door woke Qin Lun from his sleep.
"Please wait a moment!" Qin Lun shook his head and pulled out the pillow behind him. He found that he was still sitting on the head of the bed and did not lie down. It seemed that he fell asleep directly while thinking about it last night.
"Hula, hula!" The curtains at the back of the room fluttered with the breeze, and the windows and doors were wide open.
Qin Lun stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the big forest on the other side of the cliff. The air outside the window was a bit muggy, as if it didn't rain last night. The sky was covered with dark clouds, which made people feel a little depressed.
It was almost evening, and it looked as if he had slept the whole day. There is still some pain in the chest and shoulders, but it is much better than yesterday. It seems that the holy spirit potion is working well.
"Gulu!" With the awakening of consciousness, an extreme sense of hunger came from his stomach.
Qin Lun closed the window, walked to the tea table in the room, picked up a few pastries and stuffed them into his mouth. These were the food delivered to the room by the maid in the castle last night. Before he could enjoy it, he fell asleep directly.
"Butler Jason, what time is it?" He opened the door and asked with a smile.
"It's already the evening of the second day after you returned to the castle!" The old butler explained in a friendly manner, suppressing a smile.
"Did I sleep for a whole day and night? It seems that I have caused you trouble!" Qin Lun said apologetically, "Ms. Nova and the others should have woken up a long time ago!"
"Hehe, they didn't get much earlier than you. Most of them didn't wake up until noon. It seems that you have a very heavy workload this time!" The old housekeeper said politely, "The dinner party is about to start, and everyone is gathering in the lobby .You are seriously injured, so you don't have to force yourself to be there, do you need to send food to the room?"
"No, there may be a storm tonight, I don't want to be alone in the room!" Qin Lun said meaningfully.
"Oh, alright! The weather is sweltering these days, and there is a possibility of a storm at night!" The old butler said with a smile, "Please follow me, and I will take you to the banquet hall!"
"Butler Jason, if one day you quit your job at Albert Castle, what would you like to do?" Qin Lun asked with a smile as he followed behind the old butler with his hands behind his back.
"Huh? I haven't thought about it, why do you ask such a question?" The old butler was slightly taken aback, and asked strangely.
"Nothing, just ask casually!" Qin Lun shook his head calmly, "How many years have you served the Albert family?"
"This... almost thirty years!" Jason sighed with emotion, "If I leave the castle, I really don't know what to do!"
"Hehe, you are such a loyal housekeeper!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he asked casually, "Miss Elizabeth and Master Miller must have been raised by you!"
"This... yes, Master Miller has been very well-behaved since he was a child. Fortunately, you cured his illness!" The old butler hesitated for a moment, then said gratefully.
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the banquet hall. The banquet hall is still in the form of a buffet salon, allowing everyone to get their own wine and food.
Qin Lun scanned the hall, and found that Baron Albert hadn't arrived yet, Ms. Nova, Maier and other exorcists were already present. Bonny sat alone in a corner of the hall with his head down. Thinking about something. The exorcists held wine glasses and sat in the surrounding salons, the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.
"Hehe, we are late, please forgive me!" Baron Albert appeared at the entrance of the hall, and beside him stood Miss Laura, Miller and Elizabeth, and the Albert family was all present.
