Chapter 859 Exchange of Information
Latest website: Before talking to A-Dong, Ji Han still checked the details of Duke's study with Kiryu.
One is that the information here is indeed very valuable, and the other is that he wants to see if Kiryu is lying to him.
The lunatic acted with no regard for the consequences, and might even have broken his arm without saying a word.
Fortunately, I listened carefully and memorized the details of the study and how Kiryu sneaked in.
Thanks to Kiryu's ability to get in, neither the game props placed under the study room nor the mysterious bunker prison inside were accessible to ordinary people or even players like him in a short period of time.
If all goes well, the last insurmountable ladder is Duke's trump card left below.
Ji Han told Lilith the general situation inside. The information was actually of little value. He mainly wanted Lilith to understand that Duke was hiding a big secret from the entire family.
I just made some modifications to the details.
After listening to Ji Han's story, Lilith said puzzledly:
"You mean, you saw the glass portraits of my grandfather and my father on the bottom floor?"
Ji Han affirmed:
"Yes, there are two stained glass paintings. One is of Duke and the Messiah. I only identified it after the people I sent out told me, and the other is your father who you described to me.
They were placed in the same way on the platform at the last level, which seemed to be some kind of memorial ceremony.
That’s why I asked you at the beginning if you knew the Messiah, because through the same memorial ceremony, I should be able to roughly guess that your father and the Messiah might have the same fate.
I don’t know much about your vampire customs. What’s the meaning of making people into stained glass paintings? What does it mean to use black candles to pay homage in front of stained glass paintings?
Of course, I can also catch a random vampire and ask, but since I want to cooperate with you on this matter, I still hope to get some information from your mouth, as if it is our first time to exchange intelligence. I won't trick you, right? "
A person who really knows how to lie is not someone who can tell a lie perfectly, but someone who can mix a few key lies into a bunch of truths to make things develop in the direction they want.
Of course, Lilith’s father’s stained glass statue was just a lie. Otherwise, you couldn’t say that you felt there might be a relationship between the two, right?
It would be strange if she didn't just hang up the phone.
However, Lilith didn't seem to hear Ji Han's words and just muttered "black candle" to herself.
It wasn't until Ji Han shouted softly that Lilith finally came back to her senses.
The customs and habits Ji Han asked about were indeed not secret. Lilith could still accept telling Ji Han such things.
Moreover, there is nothing wrong with the details Ji Han just mentioned, especially the black candle. If outsiders had not seen it, they would never make such a guess.
"In our culture, black represents stability, so black candles often let the dead rest in peace, but you said that there are two long rows of black candles placed in front of the table, which means something else.
Representing the reawakening of the dead, black candles pave a long road to welcome the return of the souls of the dead. I have only seen it when some vampire families asked for their souls. "
Hearing this, Ji Han secretly regretted in his heart. He would have known better not to mention his father's portrait. If he died, there would be nothing to investigate. However, Lilith's reply did not seem to indicate any sadness.
"You mean your father might be dead?"
Unexpectedly, Lilith retorted:
"No, on the contrary! Because if a person is really dead, the spirit-inviting ceremony can only be used once, but according to you, the two memorial places must be used frequently by grandpa, which means that my father is definitely not dead.
I have roughly guessed that my father must be in some state of soul-body separation, so he can only be called out through a spirit-inviting ceremony! "
After hearing Lilith's somewhat excited reply, Ji Han continued to talk.
"That does make sense, but I don't understand it even more. Why would Duke separate his son's spirit from his body? And he also had to hide it in his study so that no one else would know."
There was no reply from Lilith. Ji Han was afraid that he might have pressed the question too hard, so he muttered to himself:
"These are just my curiosity. After all, family scandals cannot be made public. It doesn't matter if you don't want to say more."
Lilith followed up and asked:
"Do you have any other clues?"
"There is a strange dungeon built outside that platform, but based on your own speculation based on everything outside, who else could be imprisoned in that kind of place?"
"Everything you said is true!?"
"Oh, it's all fake. I made it up because I was so full."
"What's going on in the dungeon?"
"How did I know that the people I sent came back before they had a chance to take a closer look at Duke."
"I want you to help me get there!"
The corners of Ji Han's mouth raised slightly, and he said in his heart that he has finally let you say these words after preparing for so long, but he can't let this girl break in now, otherwise he will definitely lose an intelligence source.
"Didn't that old fellow Duke teach you rationality? Help you get in? Not to mention that my people just broke into it, and the security there must be even tighter.
In just these two moments, can you avoid the traps inside and reach the platform below without being discovered by your grandfather? Furthermore, even if you really let your shit go down there, it would only be a matter of time before Duke discovers it. What will happen then? Your grandfather will set up another portrait of you next to the Messiah and your father? "
"Don't stir up trouble here! I don't believe grandpa would treat me..."
Before Lilith could finish speaking, Ji Han interrupted:
"What don't you believe? Let's wait until you know what's in the dungeon."
After a few more seconds of silence, Lilith breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Then what can you do?"
It sounded like they were already in the same camp.
"Let me tell you, little Lilith, I just shared a lot of information. Why don't you also tell me about the situation on your side? Just say that I am your grandfather, and I can't bully my elders like this, right?"
Although Ji Han had tried his best to make his words as humorous as possible, Lilith immediately became cautious after hearing these words:
"What do you want to know?"
"Don't be so careful, I just want to get to know your father."
"Is this also out of curiosity?"
"I said, I am only curious about what Duke has done. Furthermore, helping me solve this curiosity is the only way to save your father."
"What do you mean?"
"You should know very well that no matter what method you use, Duke will never be able to send your father back. Unless you can figure out why Duke did this, and solve this problem, you will know how to save your father."
