Chapter 708: Chapter 446: Netizens: Fairy, Are You Even Human? [Part 2]

"Minister Robbins asked me to ask you, are you satisfied with their performance this time?"

Rosie Sullivan glanced back, her beautiful dark pupils filled with a hopeful shimmer.

Nora Scott raised an eyebrow, feeling particularly intrigued, "Since when does Biel Hall care about the Hall Master’s opinion?"

Blinking, Rosie asked, "Honestly?"

"Mm."

"...Because all the requests you took on have been completed." Rosie said candidly.

Upon hearing this, Nora thought carefully, recalling that Rosie was referring to the five requests that Boss Alex had asked her to help advance during her first visit to Biel Hall.

After making that call, she hadn’t followed up, not even checking their progress.

Sneaking a glance at Nora’s expression, Rosie continued, "Everyone recognizes your strength now. So, in turn, they hope you can see their strength as well."

"...Oh."

Nora responded indifferently, expressionless.

As vases, though they weren’t skilled in other areas, they excelled in holding grudges. The anger hadn’t subsided yet, and she didn’t want to say anything nice for them to hear.

Rosie waited for a long time but didn’t get Nora’s evaluation. Guessing a thing or two internally, she sighed quietly and said nothing more, focusing on driving.

That afternoon, Camilo Nogueira woke up and, disregarding the doctor’s objections, assisted the police with the investigation, explaining what happened.

Everything was just as Nora and Pedro Langley had analyzed.

The target was Master Sliver, inquiring about the source of the mechanical drone showcased at yesterday’s exhibition. But since Camilo knew nothing about it, he revealed no information, not even about Pedro, only suffering a brutal beating.

Fortunately, the police arrived in time; the person got wind and retreated, abandoning the kidnappers as scapegoats and escaping alone. The plan was probably to delay time, as taking the kidnappers along would make the group too large, leaving traces on the escape route.

Truly a ruthless individual.

According to Camilo’s memory, the person wore a mask the entire time, even in front of the kidnappers. However, when questioning Camilo, they removed the mask for a few seconds. Even though Camilo saw this in dim light, he could collaborate with the police to reconstruct a portrait of the person.

However—

Despite investigations by both Biel Hall and the police, scouring the enormous Fenton City yielded no trace of the person; they didn’t even know what the person looked like specifically.

The person vanished without a trace.

Investigations continued, but Nora’s attitude toward Biel Hall’s efficiency had fluctuated to the point of lowering her expectations as much as possible.

Saturday at 8 PM, the ninth episode of "Escape Room" aired as scheduled, like always.

At this hour, Nora finally finished that day’s shoot, feeling a bit tired. With Alfred Lawrence announcing the wrap, she didn’t want to linger for another second.

"Nora!"

Alfred suddenly called out to her.

Nora paused, stopped, and when she turned her head, she saw Alfred running over.

"In the next few days, learn how to smoke; you’ll be shooting a smoking scene soon," Alfred instructed, "This scene is vital to the character’s soul, very important."

Nora nodded, "Oh, I can smoke."

"..."

Alfred recalled carefully, confirming he hadn’t seen Nora smoke in the set, meaning she certainly wasn’t addicted to smoking.

In that case— 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Did she specifically learn to smoke for this role ahead of time?!

The rumors outside weren’t true at all, claiming she was "unprofessional!" Nora had demonstrated mastery equal to Henry Chapman’s over the past few days in the crew, with her understanding of the role up to ninety percent, and she even learned to smoke... Clearly, she had put in plenty of effort beforehand!

Alfred beamed with joy, praising Nora repeatedly.

Little did he know, all of Nora’s preparation was forced by Henry Chapman and Katherine Collins.

Nora felt inexplicable compliments but slightly improved mood. After bidding Alfred farewell, she called Rosie to leave together.

Unbeknownst to her, soon after her departure, the gathered staff were mostly discussing "Nora" in their conversation.

Once wrapping up, the staff would idle, checking their phones, looking at news, only to find their phones filled with endless news notifications concerning Nora.

On the hot search—

...

Several topics involving Nora, with a batch related to "Escape Room."

Since "Zero livestreamed," Nora’s name had possessed an incredible allure. Though she frequently appeared on the hot search list, she did not trend like other actresses, contrasting or embroiled in unrelated trivial news that soon dwindled, causing aversion.

Nora was a genuine queen of topics, whose presence in hot searches delighted people each time, offering real surprises, stunning revelations each time, and always providing stories to follow.

Even passersby were not averse to Nora’s hot search appearances.

—Because she truly was a treasure!

This time was no exception.

The commotion began with three Weibo posts.

One was from the official account of "Escape Room," promoting tonight’s episode, and expressing public gratitude to Nora for her involvement in the escape creations of "Zombie Academy" and "Horror Hospital," even putting together a short film of behind-the-scenes staff, from Nora’s blueprints to the prop group’s escape room recreation.

Another was from the director of "Fire," stating that after watching "Escape Room," they caught a tidbit of gossip and decided to share a curious fact with netizens—Nora was indeed the cultural consultant for "Fire," not a namesake.

The third was from the official account of "Skill·Memory," similarly utilizing the opportunity of the documentary’s new episode release, posted a teaser video illustrating a segment where Nora and Katherine Collins discussed mechanical puppets, with Nora speaking with rich expertise, clearly proving her competence in the field.

Netizens: ???

Fairy, are you even human?
