Chapter 40: Nina Albert

The white figure standing in front of Qin Lun's bed was a bit illusory, with a blurry face, which looked like a 3D projection with extremely poor image quality. Seeing the doctor sitting up from the bed slowly, the white figure floated back for a distance before stabilizing again.

"Doctor Stan, have you learned about my identity?" A surprised female voice rang out in Qin Lun's mind.

"I noticed it when I was in the cemetery. This time, following the exorcist into the Maiya Forest, we got a note in the cottage of the Witch Mesha, which contains records about you!" Qin Lun said with a plain face, "What's going on with that tombstone of Mary Albert?"

"That tombstone is not a real object, it is just an image I transformed!" The white figure sighed softly, "I originally wanted to arouse your curiosity and come to you without disturbing that person, but you later joined the Exorcist, so I dare not come to you again!"

"Why are you here to find me now? Have you started to trust me again?" Qin Lun stuffed the pillow behind his back to make himself more comfortable, "What should I call you?"

"After marrying Stephen, Mary Claire has died. Please call me Nina!" Nina turned her head and said calmly, "You saved Stephen's children and I, I should come and thank you!"

"There are many exorcists in the castle now. Are you not afraid that I will hand you over to them?" Qin Lun narrowed his eyes habitually.

"Haha, my spirit body is about to disappear. This time I came here just to thank you. Other things don't matter!" Nina covered her mouth and chuckled, not caring about Qin Lun's threatening words.

"Spirit? Isn't this your magic?" Qin Lun frowned slightly and asked in surprise, "You really had it more than a year ago..."

"Magic? Haha, I was dead a year ago!" Nina seemed to hear a little joke and couldn't help but shake her head, "As a witch, my soul is connected to the core of the heart. If the core is broken, then my soul will soon dissipate. My body had died more than a year ago, but for some reason, I felt that my core had only been broken in the last two days!"

"I have only broken my core in the past two days... So that's it!" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows.

He suddenly remembered the witch Mesa who had two core cores. It seemed that her second core must be obtained by Nina. Although the witch Mesa recorded more than a year ago in the surveillance notes, she concealed the process of getting the second core, and should have wanted to avoid being spying on by other witches.

After Nina's heart core was broken, she did not disappear immediately, and her soul still survived to this day. So... Qin Lun frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

"I thank you. My wish is over. After dawn, I'm afraid it will disappear." Nina's ghost pulled the skirt and bowed, "Doctor Stan, I wish you all the best in the future. I won't disturb you to rest!"

"Please wait, Ms. Nina, can you answer some questions?" Qin Lun came to his senses and hurriedly called Nina's ghost.

"Of course, please ask!" Nina was slightly stunned and turned around again.

"From the notes of the witch Mesa, we find that Baron Albert had chased you with two magic creatures more than a year ago." Qin Lun thought for a moment, then asked.

"However, except for your death, the notes do not record Stephen and Miller's situation. I have seen Stephen's grave, which is empty inside, and Miller's disease should have been transmitted at that time. What I want to ask is whether your escape was related to the discovery of your witch by the Albert family? Is Stephen's life or death now? What's going on with the kind of disease that Miller has infected?"

"...I can't tell you that these are all secrets belonging to the Albert family!" Nina was silent for a while, finally sighed and shook her head, "Although Baron Albert made Xiao Miller lose his parents at the same time, this is the responsibility of the Albert family for generations. Xiao Miller... still has to rely on the Albert family!"

"You mean, the Albert family did not violate the duties of the exorcist?" Qin Lun asked lightly.

"Of course! Although Baron Albert killed me, I don't blame him." Nina said helplessly, "Thousand-year duty, thousand-year protection, thousand-year glory, this is the family motto of the Albert family, but it's too heavy!"

"What about Stephen? If Stephen is not dead yet, don't you want your husband to be liberated? After all, he is not an exorcist, so there is no need to sacrifice for it!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed. After Miller was saved, Nina had no desires and had changed her direction of temptation.

"Stephen...my Stephen can't come back!" Nina looked a little sad.

"Ms. Nina, the last question. Why haven't you sought help from others for more than a year? For example: Stephen's sister Miss Laura, she also cares about Master Miller!" Qin Lun asked lightly.

"My death is just across the Jikun River, near the edge of the Maiya Forest, and I can't get too far away from here!" Nina said lightly, "As for Laura... I don't want to disturb her life anymore!"

"Doctor Stan, it's time for me to say goodbye. Thank you again for saving my son!" Nina turned around and floated out the window.

"Ms. Nina, don't you want to look at Miller and Elizabeth before disappearing?" Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly.

Nina's white figure trembled slightly, but she did not stop and floated out of the window.

This time, Qin Lun did not try to keep Nina's ghost again. He knew that if he continued to ask, there would be no result. Although he wanted the answer, Qin Lun had already heard a lot from Nina's words.

The content of the notes of Mesa's witch has been confirmed, and Stephen's wife is indeed a witch of Maiya. From this point of view, the second piece of information in the notes is also credible. Baron Albert did pursue them with two magic creatures, kill Nina, and bring back Stephen and Miller.

Although there is no evidence, Qin Lun believes that Nina did not lie and that the Albert family should not deviate from the responsibilities of the exorcist. However, in this way, clues about Stephen's life and death and the cause of Xiao Miller's disease were cut off.

Qin Lun leaned against the soft pillow and closed his eyes to ponder. Although Nina's appearance failed to make all the truth clear, he was not disappointed. Nina didn't know that the doctor actually did not hope that she would give the answer directly, but instead confirmed some of her guesses from her reaction.

"Bangbangbang!"

"Doctor Stan, are you awake?" The knock on the door outside woke Qin Lun up in his sleep.

"Please wait!" 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 had fallen asleep while thinking last night.

"Hula, Hula!" The curtains behind the room drifted with the breeze, and the windows and doors opened wide.

Qin Lun stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the big forest opposite the cliff. The air outside the window was a little stuffy, and it seemed that it had not rained last night. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the deep feeling made people feel a little depressed.

It was getting close to evening, and it seemed that he had been sleeping all day. His chest and shoulders were still a little painful, but it was much better than yesterday. It seemed that the Holy Spirit potion was effective.

"Guru!" As the consciousness became clear, an extreme feeling of hunger came from his abdomen.

Qin Lun closed the window, walked to the front of the coffee table in the room, picked up a few pieces of pastries and stuffed them into his mouth. These were the food delivered to the room by the maid in the castle last night. He fell asleep without having time to enjoy it.

"Butler Jason, when is it now?" he asked with a smile on his face.

"It's already the evening the next day you returned to the castle!" The old butler suppressed his smile and explained friendly.

"Have I slept all day and night? It seems that I have caused you trouble!" Qin Lun said apologetically, "Ms. Nova and the others must have gotten up long ago!"

"Haha, they are not much earlier than you. Most people slept until afternoon before they woke up. It seems that your work this time is very heavy!" said the old housekeeper politely, "The dinner is about to begin, and everyone is gathering in the hall. You are seriously injured, so you don't have to be there. Do you need to send food to the room?"

"No, there may be a storm tonight. I don't want to stay alone in the room!" Qin Lun said meaningfully.

"Oh, okay! The weather is stuffy these days, and there may be a storm at night!" The old butler said with a smile, "Please come with me, I'll take you to the banquet hall!"

"Butler Jason, what do you want to do if you quit your job at Albert Castle one day?" Qin Lun followed the old butler with his hands behind his back, and suddenly asked with a smile.

"Hmm? I haven't thought about why you asked this?" The old butler was slightly stunned and asked strangely.

"Nothing, ask casually!" Qin Lun shook his head calmly, "How many years have you served the Albert family?"

"This... has been almost thirty years!" Jason sighed with emotion, "If I leave the castle, I really don't know what to do!"

"Haha, you are such a loyal butler!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed and asked casually, "Miss Elizabeth and Master Miller should have been grown up when you watched you grow up!"

"This...yes, Mr. Miller has been very well-behaved since he was a child. Fortunately, you cured his illness!" The old butler hesitated for a moment and said gratefully.

While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at the banquet hall. The banquet hall still adopted the form of a buffet salon, allowing everyone to use their own wine and food.

Qin Lun swept around the hall and found that Baron Albert had not arrived yet, Ms. Nova, Michelle and other exorcists were already present, while Boni lowered his head and sat alone in a corner of the hall, not knowing what he was thinking. The exorcists held wine glasses and sat upright in the surrounding salon, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.
