It seemed to be a wooden human-shaped puppet, and it didn't look very good. Even from a distance, you could tell that the puppet was poorly made. The little skirt it wore was simple and crude, and its facial features were crooked and distorted, as if it had been pieced together.

Compared to the well-made and exquisite dolls Xiao Tangqiu had seen in the window display before, the craftsmanship of this puppet was so poor that it looked like it was made by a child.

In the dimly lit room, the doll looked somewhat creepy. Its distorted features were eerie. Though the painting was ugly and crude, it gave the impression that it would spring to life at any moment. Even its eyes, seemingly made from two random stones glued together, seemed lifelike after looking at them for a long time...

Xiao Tangqiu stared intently into the puppet's eyes until Tang Mianmian's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Look what I found! Hey? Qiuqiu, why did you turn off the flashlight?"

Xiao Tangqiu paused and suddenly woke up - he had unknowingly walked towards the puppet in the corner, and he didn't know when he turned off the flashlight!

He quickly turned on the flashlight, but was surprised to find that the puppet was gone the next second!

He couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. He took the elevator and looked around other corners, but he couldn't find any trace of the puppet. He hurriedly wanted to tell others about it. However, when he turned around, he found Tang Mianmian backing out from under the bed with her butt sticking out. He was immediately puzzled.

"What are you doing?"

"Search under the bed!" Tang Mianmian said matter-of-factly. He quickly got up from the ground. "Of course, if you're looking for clues, you have to search every inch of the room! I just found out the bottom of the bed is hollow, so I got down and looked for it. Don't tell me, I actually found something!"

Xiao Tangqiu took the thing from Tang Mianmian's hand and found it was an exquisite small wooden box. After shaking it a few times, there was obviously something inside. He tried to open it and it actually opened.

"It seems to be unlocked." He opened the wooden box and looked at the things inside. There were some small jewelry like rings, earrings, brooches, and a few yellowed letters. "...It's a letter! Lu Si'er, come and take a look!"

Lu Si'er quickly put down the newspaper and took the letters. The envelopes had already been opened, and it was obvious that someone had already read them. She took a quick look at the contents of the letters and was a little surprised: "...This is a letter from Lepnobet."

"Lepnobet?" Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly. "Who is it written to?"

"...This is a letter from Lepnobet to a lady named Maria. It seems to be a reply." After Lu Si'er quickly read the letter, she summarized it to Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian. "Maybe that lady Maria saw Lepnobet's marriage proposal in the newspaper and wrote him a letter. Lepnobet then wrote back to her. He briefly introduced himself and asked her some questions, such as her appearance and family background. He also asked her to include a photo next time."

Tang Mianmian looked gossipy. "Is this considered the norm back then...online romance? Pen romance? They even asked for photos. I didn't expect Lepnobet to be such a face control guy. Do you have any photos of Maria?"

Lu Si'er shook her head: "No, these letters are all from Lepnobet, there are no letters from Maria herself."

"This wooden box obviously belongs to Maria. There are so many small jewelry in it. Maria collected Lepnobet's letter. As for Maria's letter, it should be with Lepnobet." Xiao Tangqiu analyzed calmly.

Tang Mianmian was immediately disappointed: "I thought I could see photos of beautiful women..."

Lu Si'er took out the second letter: "...Lepnobet said he liked Maria's appearance very much and wanted to marry her. He hoped that Maria could move to his castle as soon as possible..."

"Wow! You're living together so soon! Foreigners are so open-minded, even those from almost a hundred years ago, wow!" Tang Mianmian said with a smile.

"The third letter was similar to the previous one. Maria probably felt that the progress was too fast and declined for the time being. Lepnobert said that he was willing to wait for Maria, but still hoped that Maria would move into his castle and become his wife as soon as possible."

Soon, Lu Si'er took out the last letter. After flipping through it, she said, "It seems that Maria finally agreed. Lepnobet said in this letter that everyone in the castle welcomes her to move in and become the mistress of the castle. He has prepared everything for her..."

Xiao Tangqiu wasn't surprised. If Maria hadn't agreed to Lepnobet's request, her wooden box wouldn't have appeared here. It seemed Maria must have married Lepnobet in the end...

"Strange, if Maria is one of Lepnobet's three wives, how could her room be similar to an ordinary guest room? This doesn't look like the master's room at all, and the hostess's," Lu Si'er said with a woman's unique sensitivity, frowning slightly, "Except for the small jewelry in this wooden box, there are no women's products or traces of women's life. And this wooden box is Maria's own. How is this possible? There is no dressing mirror, no wardrobe, no clothes, and no portrait of her..."

"Feminine products? Do puppets count?" Xiao Tangqiu suddenly remembered the puppet and quickly told the strange thing that happened just now, "...If you hadn't called me, Tang Mianmian, who knows what would have happened." In any case, it would definitely not be a pleasant thing.

After Xiao Tangqiu finished speaking, he noticed that Tang Mianmian and Lu Si'er standing opposite him were pale with fear. He couldn't help but wonder... Was his expression terrifying? Why did these two people look so terrified as if they had seen it with their own eyes?

...Wait, saw it with your own eyes?

For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Tang Mianmian's voice was trembling like a sieve: "The puppet you mentioned... could it be..."

He swallowed hard, his expression terrified as if he would faint in the next second: "...The one lying on your back now?"
