American Celestial Master

Chapter 111, hit a ghost
Citi Île is an island in the Seine River and the birthplace of Paris.Yes, the city of Paris gradually expanded from this small island.This is the oldest place in Paris, where the famous Notre Dame Cathedral stands.

"Every day from 08:30 am to 03:30 pm, Notre Dame Cathedral is open for viewing. Except for some areas, you know, there was a fire here a few years ago, and a lot of things burned, and we have been repairing it since then, but until now , the restoration work is not over yet, for example, if you go there now, you won’t be able to see the famous spire of Notre Dame Cathedral, and you don’t know when it will be put back in.” On the taxi to Siti Island, the taxi The driver is explaining to Annie and the others about Siti Island.

"I heard people say that on Citi Island, there are many legends of ghosts at night?" Annie asked.

"Ah, madam, I think I just mentioned that the Ile de la Cité is the oldest place in all of Paris. And any place, as long as it is old enough, must have all kinds of haunted legends. The Ile de Cité is certainly no exception. And for more than a year, you also know that there have been more ghosts and ghosts in all parts of the world, and Paris is no exception. And Citi Island is the oldest place in Paris, so there are naturally haunted legends here, um, for example It is said that the tower of Notre Dame is notoriously evil..." said the driver.

"What's wrong?" Victor asked.

"More than 100 years ago, a girl jumped from the top of that tower and fell to her death in front of the gate. In the following 100 years, two more girls jumped from the same position... said the driver.

"What's the matter? Only three in more than 100 years, Annie, how many people have jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge?" Victor turned his head and asked Annie who was sitting in the back row.

"More than 300. So the Golden Gate Bridge is now one of the most famous haunted holy places in the United States." Annie replied.

"No, that's not the same. I know the Golden Gate Bridge, it's famous for being a 'suicide mecca', but deaths are routine there, understandably, not the towers of Notre Dame," said the driver, " The first girl who jumped off not only killed herself, but also killed an American female pilgrim; the second girl who jumped down did the same, she also killed a female tourist from the United States; the third No exception……"

"She also killed an American female tourist?" Anne asked.

"No, she killed a female tourist in Canada—all North American women. Do you think this is evil?" said the driver.

This is indeed a bit evil, even Victor couldn't help turning his head to look at Anne again.

"What do you think I am doing? Although I am from North America, my gender is not female." Annie smiled nonchalantly.

"Well, I heard you have dozens of genders in America?" the driver interjected.

"Yes, but I estimate that it may actually be more than a hundred now." Annie said with a smile, "I just don't know if they recognize the ghost on the top of the tower."

"No one knows that." The driver also laughed.

"But isn't Notre Dame a church? How can a church..." Victor said.

Just as the driver was about to say something, Notre Dame appeared in front of him.

"Ah, here we are. Victor, let's get off. Remember to pay." Anne said.

The taxi stopped on the side of a street near Notre Dame Cathedral, Anne and Victor got out of the car, and the two walked towards Notre Dame Cathedral together.They have already booked tickets in the hotel, but the main building part does not charge tickets. The tickets are for places such as the side tower (the one where Quasimodo rings the bell) and the basement.

The two walked together to the door of the Virgin Mary on the left.There are three gates on the front of Notre-Dame de Paris, the Virgin Mary Gate on the left, the Saint-Etienne Gate on the right, and the Last Judgment Gate in the middle.Stories from the Bible are carved in relief on the three doors.

Two people looked up in front of the door.

"Annie, are you worried about someone falling from above and hitting you?" Victor said.

"No, it can't hit me." Anne said, "You mentioned that Notre Dame de Paris is not a temple, how can there be ghosts, right?"

"Yeah. Why, do you have an idea?" Victor asked.Annie was already the most knowledgeable among them. When it was impossible to ask Lin Qiusheng about this kind of question, everyone was used to asking Annie.

"I have some ideas." Annie said, "Maybe, this temple is actually suppressing something. Especially after I saw these three gates, I have such a feeling. Well, Vic Do, can you buy me a map of Paris?"

"No problem, it's over there." Victor went to buy a map of Paris and handed it to Annie.

Annie opened it to take a look, and shook her head: "It would be even better if there was an ancient map. Well, let's go in."

The two entered the church from the Virgin Mary Gate, and then walked forward with the flow of people like ordinary tourists.

Following the flow of people, they went upstairs and came out from the corridor. In front of them was the most famous rosette round window of Notre Dame de Paris.On it are Adam and Eve and the creation myth.At some point, the group of tourists went to the other side, and only Anne and Victor remained here.

Annie saw a woman wearing a nineteenth-century whalebone skirt appearing beside the round window, waving to her.With a wave of her white gloved hand, Annie took a step towards her.

A smile appeared on the face of the woman in ancient costume, and she turned around and walked forward.Only she took a step and stopped—because Anne stopped.

The woman in ancient costume turned her face away.At this time, she was standing directly facing the round window, and the sunlight shone through the round window, but there was no shadow of her on the floor.

"You can stay awake?" The woman was a little surprised.

"Yes," said Anne, "whose maid are you? How many years have you served Him?"

"I am the maid of the river god. I have served him for more than 100 years. If you can replace me, maybe I can... But it seems that I need to find someone else." The woman said.

"You or he doesn't intend to keep me?" Annie asked again.

"No, because it's not necessary. As long as you can wake up, we won't waste any more power." The woman shook her head.

Victor quietly took out the inferior version of "Twelve Movements at Twilight" on the side.But at this time, the woman suddenly disappeared.

　I thought it would be much better if I didn’t have a fever, but my body still seems to be particularly prone to fatigue. Today there is only one update, and tomorrow I will try to see if I can make two updates.
