Everyone was stunned by her words.
"Rebirth, is it the rebirth I know?" Ariel Zimmerman widened her eyes. "But isn’t she called Hestia Knight?"
Shouldn’t it be Ianthe Lawson who was reborn?
Sebastian watched several of the original novels due to the drama offers he received; he understood this well enough and explained,
"Rebirth can also mean a person being reborn in someone else’s body. Some people also call it transmigration."
More often, transmigration is when someone from this timeline crosses over to another timeline’s individual.
Amber Livingston listened to Sebastian’s explanation with a bewildered expression,
"Isn’t this supposed to be called possession by a ghost?"
"I’m not a ghost! I’m human!" Hestia Knight retorted upon hearing, "I’ve been reborn! I possess the original owner’s memories."
She had read many novels, where inheriting the original owner’s memories is called rebirth, not ghost possession!
She wasn’t dead!
"You say you are reborn, so why were you reborn into Ianthe Lawson? What was the trigger for rebirth?"
"There wasn’t any trigger; I just wanted to become a celebrity, so I became one. Perhaps I’m just destined for it!"
Due to the Truth Talisman, Hestia Knight made no attempt to hide her inner thoughts.
Director Xu watched her say this with Ianthe Lawson’s face and couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth,
"With those cringe-worthy acting skills of yours, how dare you say you’re destined for this?"
"Why wouldn’t I be?"
Hestia Knight retorted immediately without thinking, "If I’m not destined for it, why could I become Ianthe Lawson? Why was I chosen instead of anyone else?"
Hestia Knight’s words had barely left her mouth when she suddenly felt a bad premonition.
Scarlett Jennings and a few other guests keenly grasped the key point.
"It? Who is ’it’?"
Hestia Knight’s lips trembled upon hearing, seemingly wanting to resist. However, under Scarlett’s spiritual power support, she still honestly uttered the two words,
"Sys, System."
Upon hearing this, everyone present, including the live-streaming audience, was in uproar once again.
Finally accepting the existence of metaphysics, and now even a system comes into play??
Was the world preparing to cheat?
Scarlett didn’t read many novels and wasn’t quite familiar with the concept of rebirth and system; instinctively, she looked at Sebastian, who briefly explained the general role of systems in novels.
Scarlett understood then,
"The force that resisted the Truth Talisman just now came from your system, didn’t it?"
"Yes..."
"Then what was the task given to you by the system?"
"It wanted me to become Ianthe Lawson. As long as I successfully occupy this body for seven days, I could completely become Ianthe Lawson. In exchange, I must hand over Ianthe Lawson’s spi...ah!"
Halfway through her words, Hestia Knight suddenly clutched her head and screamed.
At the same time, everyone saw the Truth Talisman attached to her back suddenly ignite. With a whoosh, the flame burned the entire Truth Talisman into ashes within moments.
Scarlett’s eyes narrowed as she vaguely sensed energy seemingly escaping from Hestia Knight.
Without hesitation, she tore off the Jade Token hanging around her neck and hurled it toward the direction of the escaping energy,
"Heavenly Talisman Appearance, Invisible Ghosts, Rise and Seal!"
As Scarlett’s spell landed, the Jade Token suspended in mid-air suddenly emitted a Golden Light. The spell inscribed on the Jade Token swiftly took form in the void, binding together into a chain of runes, as if trapping something within.
Scarlett quickly performed a sealing gesture, and the chain of spells rapidly contracted, finally retreating back into the Jade Token.
