Chapter 1066: Chapter 1064: Bronze Lady Chapter 1066: Chapter 1064: Bronze Lady It was evident that Lady Cecilia was indeed haunted by the Human Face Helt, as she was unwilling to look straight at it even when asked related questions.
“You certainly know…”
At the sa ti, within no more than two seconds, she provided the correct answer.
“It’s not made of tal.”
I knew that at first glance, didn’t I?
Fu Qian, who had no chance to respond, snorted coldly for a mont.
I also knew that it wasn’t made of tal, it wasn’t even made of a human head.
The material of this object was clearly taken from other tissues of the human body, then cleverly pieced together.
In so ways, this was even more bizarre than scooping out an actual human head, and it was normal for Lady Cecilia to feel fear.
“It’s called the Bronze Lady, I can hardly imagine the initial intent behind its creation, but it’s said if worn on the head, one might hear the murmurs echoing in a particular headless corpse, a pity I never dare to wear it—”
The next mont, startled by her own dull voice, everything quieted down under the dim light of the collecting room.
Lady Cecilia, holding the Human Face Helt over her head, was completely petrified in place.
…
How could this be?
Everything before was pitch-black, and the sll was not as bad as I had imagined, but—why did I put it on my head?
The events that had transpired, raced through Cecilia Gatesby’s consciousness.
As she explained the terror of the helt, she naturally walked forward, took it off its stand, and put it on, without any hesitation in the process.
To what extent was this “script” miraculous… How was it achieved?
Trying to understand the reasons behind these changes, she didn’t even think of taking off the helt imdiately.
No sound at all, so it’s just a myth after all.
With ti ticking by second by second, Lady Cecilia ultimately sighed and even took the initiative to suggest.
“Actually, if you want to make it more dramatic, this would be the mont to let so sound play…”
…
There really was sound.
anwhile, the Evil God Fu Qian, who was watching from a distance, also expressed sincere emotion.
This helt was certainly an Extraordinary Item.
The mont Lady Cecilia approached it, Fu Qian had noticed.
So, whether she was afraid or not, she would definitely muster the courage to try it today.
And although Lady Cecilia couldn’t hear anything, Fu Qian, through her as a dium, indeed heard so sort of chaotic mutterings.
Now the problem was, he couldn’t understand it.
The voices were so chaotic that they seed to conceal their own significance in an incomprehensible way, like a real transcendent level of encryption.
At the sa ti, the distorted nobility that it implied made it clear that there was more than ets the eye.
Looking at the situation, it seed that he might need to personally go over and try it on? It might be impolite to use others as a tool for contact.
No matter, Lady Cecilia had already invited him to visit, and as a private consultant, he had been granted absolute freedom to act.
Observing on-site clearly posed no problems.
Encrypted information, huh? Don’t underestimate the academic leader’s ability to decrypt.
And the ability to brute force it.
…
Take it off.
He quickly made up his mind, and the next mont, Fu Qian finally conveyed a ssage to Lady Cecilia.
The intensity of this ntal deduction in the dark was too high; if it continued, it might cause ntal problems.
As if granted a great pardon, Lady Cecilia, already a bit agitated again, quickly removed the helt.
She clearly wanted to keep her composure, but in the end, she couldn’t get past the psychological hurdle.
A few seconds later, she hunched over, gasping for air, barely able to hold onto the helt in her hands.
You better not drop that!
Fu Qian watched with heart-pounding anxiety, issuing eighteen imperative commands for Lady Cecilia to put the item back.
…
I… am bleeding?
After putting the thing back, Lady Cecilia propped herself against the base of the Bronze Lady and slumped for a few minutes before her breathing gradually steadied.
It was then she noticed sothing odd about one side of her cheek, which bore a scratch, seemingly from removing the helt too forcefully.
But the wonder of human nature lies precisely in this.
Upon realizing she had been injured because of her fear, Lady Cecilia’s emotions surprisingly steadied, and she found the whole situation laughable and amusing.
“Thank you for the company, Mr. Advisor.”
“This is the first ti in so many years that I’ve had this much fun here.”
In the next mont, she even let out a soft chuckle.
“However, considering neither of us wants a scar, I should go and take care of this.”
As expected, today’s experience had been too much for her, and it looked like this tour guide job was not to be.
Fu Qian didn’t really regret Lady Cecilia suddenly quitting.
The day’s findings were already quite satisfactory. Besides the Bronze Lady, there were more surprises in the collection to be unearthed later.
Watching Lady Cecilia’s slightly unsteady off-duty figure, Fu Qian didn’t pry any further into her privacy and directly severed the connection.
However…
“Mr. Advisor, how much would you like to be paid?”
Five minutes later, Fu Qian stared at the latest ssage in his forum account, lost in thought.
Not resting was not odd, but to just have finished being a tour guide and then imdiately asking how much to pay him?
Indeed, there are principled people even among the wealthy!
“Last ti I left in a hurry, and only after returning did I realize that we had forgotten to talk about this. In light of your performance, please don’t be shy.”
It seed that she was certain Fu Qian would see the ssage, as another one quickly followed.
“If you are not interested in money, I have many special collections you can choose from.”
It was indeed a sincere offer, and it also seed that she was trying to draw him into the play!
Knowing that Lady Cecilia’s last suggestion was in reference to their earlier experience in the collection room, it was clear that she believed he “should” know what had transpired.
“I’ll take the ‘Bronze Lady.'”
Fu Qian thought for a mont and didn’t feign ignorance by asking why he was being praised for excellent work but neatly played along, confirming her guess.
For a good while, there was no response.
And although he no longer responded to the call to check on her, Fu Qian had a hunch that Lady Cecilia was not scared away but rather laughing hysterically on the other side.
“No problem, it will be delivered by the day after tomorrow!”
When the new ssage arrived, it dripped with the sincerity of an employer, inspiring awe.
“Okay.”
After pondering for a few seconds, Fu Qian, who had originally planned to demand his salary in person, ultimately did not refuse.
“Thank you, I suddenly feel today that there are so many joys in the world beyond our imagination.”
After a solemn thanks from the employer on the other end, no more ssages ca.
…
What a fulfilling and wonderful evening!
As long as you’re alive, interesting things will happen – indeed, a philosophy of life.
Plans can’t keep up with changes; with research material coming to his doorstep, it seems he might take a little break at ho for the next couple of days, putting off the academic expedition for now.
Back in the darkened living room, Fu Qian quickly made up his mind.
