Chapter 214 We’re Not Done
Queenie’s pupils suddenly contracted, and her shoulders trembled slightly, “What did you just say?”
Impossible!
Something had to have gone wrong….

Jean still had that blank expression on her face. Her pupils were dark and dull, without the slightest ripple, and she stared blankly at Queenie, her tone flat as she repeated, “I’m not… a member of the Abyssal Choir… I’m just… an ordinary person…”
At that moment, Queenie completely broke down!
Her brows furrowed tightly, her face twisted in fury, and her fists clenched as she slammed them down hard on the wooden table in front of her.
How could this be possible?
She had tried everything, used every method–and yet the result was still the same. No change whatsoever…
While Queenie spiraled into a crisis of self–doubt, Jean quietly let out a breath.
She knew she had fooled Queenie again.
That’s right–she had been faking it the whole time-
Pretending to be under some kind of mental control, pretending to mutter those words.
In truth, reaching that level of deception hadn’t been easy.
Jean had indeed been affected at first, truly manipulated. This bizarre room, along with that strange incense, seemed to have a soul–snatching effect…
Every one of her nerves felt like it was being burned alive, as if a sharp blade was slicing her soul apart, one fragment at a time.
A deafening roar echoed in her ears, as if drilling directly from her ear canal into her skull.
Her consciousness became a chaotic blur. Every memory in her mind felt like it was being shredded, no longer under her control.
Finally, a cold, bone–piercing voice seemed to pour straight down from the crown of her head, guiding her to speak the truest answers in her heart–to respond to Queenie’s questions.
She had been just a hair away.
One moment longer, and she would’ve spilled everything…
Fortunately, she once again relied on sheer willpower, forcing herself to wake up at the critical moment and regain control of her consciousness.
But the price-

To stay awake, she had no choice but to keep clenching her fists.

Although most of her awareness had returned by now, the lingering effects of that ordeal still hadn’t passed. Her entire body was wracked with discomfort.
Her head felt like it was being torn apart by some unseen force, and it was as if something was trying to rip her limbs in different directions.
Damn it!
What the hell kind of demonic crap is this?!
Queenie is completely deranged–just to force the truth out of her, she’d actually resorted to such inhumane methods!
Jean clenched her teeth through the pain, cursing Queenie madly in her heart.
Suddenly-
It felt like a string in her brain snapped completely. Jean’s eyes flew wide open.
She could feel it–blood, thick and hot, beginning to ooze slowly from her mouth, her ears, and her eyes…
Just before losing consciousness, she finally realized how dangerous her situation was-
Sh*t!
She was bleeding from all seven orifices!
Queenie, I’m not done with you!
Bang–with a loud thud, Jean completely passed out and collapsed straight from the chair onto the floor.
Queenie hadn’t seen it coming.
Her eyes widened in disbelief. She got up quickly, her chair scraping the ground as she rushed over to Jean.
The young girl was lying on her side on the floor. Dark blood had soaked her cheeks, her hair, her clothes, and the floor beneath her.
She looked both pitiful and horrifying.
“What are you doing?”
At that moment, a cold and commanding voice rang out suddenly from the doorway.
