Lady Alexi couldn't help but find it laughable. "Absurd! What could I possibly need a child like you to help me with?"
Ning Yitao stared at her quietly and raised her hand in the direction of the people near the door.
After a while,
Eve was the first to react. Her headache had miraculously vanished.
She took a moment to recover, then slowly got to her feet.
She helped up Henry, who was curled up on the ground in pain, and nodded in the direction of Ning Yitao to express her gratitude.
"Do you still think I can't be of any help to you now?" Ning Yitao's cold voice echoed through the empty room.
Lady Alexi stared at her in disbelief. She herself couldn't fully suppress this evil aura, yet this young girl had managed to do it so effortlessly?
The younger generation was truly formidable. Lady Alexi grew wary. "Indeed. You wouldn't help me for nothing. Just tell me what you want."
Ning Yitao let out a soft chuckle. "You're right, Lady Alexi. I do need you to do me a small favor."
She looked at the white powder scattered all over the place. "If I'm not mistaken, this powder isn't just ordinary lime powder."
"It's - ashes."
Lady Alexi's expression became complex and subtle. Ning Yitao continued,
"So many people's ashes are mixed together. You deliberately scattered them on those spiritualists who just came in. After they left, the resentment of the ashes on them spread with the air throughout the entire castle and outside."
"Whoever is contaminated will be cursed. It's simple. I need you to lift the curse."
Ji Wangqiu was a bit angry after hearing this. "So you've been using so many people to share the resentment. You've been using us as nourishment!"
Eve tried to check if she was cursed, and the result made her frown.
This woman had actually silently placed a curse on everyone using these ash powders to share the resentment in this castle.
Lady Alexi didn't want to waste any more words on Ji Wangqiu. She simply told Ning Yitao,
"Actually, there's a more direct way to solve the curses on so many people, and it can also help me."
"Just like you thought, it's to deal with the thing in the room at the end. The solution is right here. It just depends on whether you dare to go."
As she said this, Lady Alexi's already burned and disfigured face contorted with hatred, making her look extremely terrifying.
At this moment, the director, who had a calming talisman on him, groggily opened his eyes. He happened to see Lady Alexi with a ferocious expression and overwhelming resentment, and immediately fainted again from the shock.
The spiritualists watching the live - broadcast outside the castle also noticed something was wrong. They were like ants on a hot pan, frantically patting the ash powder off their bodies.
But they knew it was useless to pat it off. They could only be furious in frustration because they didn't dare to enter that room.
One spiritualist even snatched the walkie - talkie that the staff used to communicate with the director.
He threatened Ning Yitao through the walkie - talkie. "Ning Yitao, you'd better agree to her request quickly. If you don't deal with that room, we'll all die."
His words were transmitted to Ning Yitao's ears through the walkie - talkie without a single word missing.
The staff member tried to snatch the walkie - talkie back, but was pushed to the ground by other extreme spiritualists.
"What are you grabbing for? Do you think you're safe just because you didn't go in? As long as you're close to this castle, you can't escape the curse through air transmission."
Momo even deliberately elongated her voice and added, "You ordinary people will die faster than us."
But these people were innocent. They were cursed by the ash powder brought out by these spiritualists in front of them.
Some spiritualists were already planning to find more scapegoats to share the resentment on themselves.
In this way, they could live a little longer, not caring about the lives of others at all.
The live - broadcast of the outer - field program exposed the true faces of these spiritualists.
But now no one cared about these things. They were about to die, so who would care if they were eliminated from a program?
Ning Yitao just quietly listened to the commotion of these people outside through the walkie - talkie.
The situation reached a deadlock. Although they knew Ning Yitao was very powerful, the room at the end was filled with overwhelming resentment. No one could come out of it unscathed.
Naturally, everyone didn't want their friends to get hurt. But if the curse wasn't lifted, all the cursed people would end up dying miserably.
Lady Alexi sneered contemptuously. "Sure enough, even after so many years, people today are still so selfish."
She asked Ning Yitao and held out her hand to her. "Child, are you willing to go in with me?"
"Can you first tell us what exactly happened to this castle to make it have such strong resentment?" Ning Yitao really wanted to know the answer, although it was probably similar to what she had guessed.
The truth about the castle was indeed not what people suspected. Lady Alexi was the protector of this family, not the evildoer.
Lady Alexi was a great witch at that time.
When the enemy attacked, she single - handedly reversed the decline of the family.
She managed to keep this ancestral castle and her family safe, but naturally, she also exposed her difference from ordinary people.
However, those who were jealous of her family discovered her identity as a witch. She was framed and publicly burned alive.
She died because of the secular view, but her sense of responsibility for protecting the family made her give up her hatred and become a protector.
Glamis Castle had accompanied the Snow Country through so many years of wind and rain. But in the long history, how could there only be wise kings?
The hunting ground of the King of Scotland was located in Glamis Castle. At that time, many fighting - beast slaves were unwilling and cursed in groups.
Lady Alexi single - handedly sealed them in this room.
For so many years, she had been trying to find a way to reduce their resentment.
The strange things in the castle were just Lady Alexi's way of preventing the descendants of her family from living in the castle.
The longer they lived, the more it would affect their fortune.
This castle had a very long history and carried countless glorious stories. During World War I, it became a hospital, and countless spirits wandered there.
Living there for a long time was not beneficial.
Ning Yitao understood. She turned around and told the others, "Alright, we've found the director. You can take him out first. I'll go and check the room at the end."
Although they hoped she would go in, they felt really bad to let her face the danger alone for their sake.
Even though they knew Ning Yitao was very powerful, no one could come out of that room unscathed.
Everyone looked solemn and followed behind Ning Yitao and Lady Alexi. The closer they got to the door of the room at the end, the stronger their sense of unease became.
Eve grabbed Ning Yitao and said firmly,
"I'm not leaving. You're taking risks for us. I'll wait at the door. As long as you can't handle it, just call me and I'll come in immediately."
Sarawa also said, "I'm not leaving either. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive."
Henry never wanted to leave. He wanted to help Ning Yitao.
Grace was a bit hesitant. He didn't want to risk his life here, but if he didn't help her and she failed, he would also be doomed. So he waited at the door.
Ning Yitao said helplessly, "Do you really not trust my ability?"
Eve replied without hesitation, "Of course I trust you. But I'm still worried about you. Don't worry. We'll be your strong backing."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Eve, Ning Yitao looked at her and a faint smile appeared on her lips. "Okay. Wait for my good news."
"Thud, thud, thud." Someone was walking quickly on the stairs.
