At this moment, Shen Yuan suddenly said, "No, let's search here."

Xiao Tangqiu was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan met his gaze directly and repeated calmly, "A more secluded place... should be here. Search it."

Before Xiao Tangqiu could react, Shen Yuan's companions had already quickly started searching the room. No one even asked why. It was obvious that everyone was very used to his orders.

Shen Yuan also took a few steps forward and began to rummage through the messy workbench.

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other and began to search the room.

This secret room is not big and can be seen clearly at a glance. Apart from the workbench, there are only finished and unfinished puppets all over the floor.

Xiao Tangqiu looked at the puppets all over the floor and was suddenly stunned. Wait... puppets?

He picked up a puppet at random, studied it in his hand for a while, then put it down and picked up another one.

Xiao Tangqiu studied several puppets in a row but found nothing special. However, he was not discouraged and continued to search. Finally, when he turned over an unknown number of puppets, he suddenly found that there seemed to be something in the puppet's skirt.

He reached out and indeed pulled out a small fragment of a photo. He was immediately delighted and shouted, "I found it!"

"What did you find?" Tang Mianmian was the first to come over, and soon the others also gathered around.

"Photo fragments?" The man in the windbreaker raised an eyebrow and glanced at Xiao Tangqiu with interest. "How did you find them?"

Xiao Tangqiu confessed honestly: "I found it in the skirt of this puppet."

"Under the skirt?" Tang Mianmian's eyes widened, her face filled with grief. "You are such a person! I misjudged you! It was just a doll! You didn't even let the doll go!"

Xiao Tangqiu: "...Get out of here."

Everyone immediately began to study the fragment of the photo. There was obviously something in the photo, but because the fragment was too small, it was impossible to piece together the truth.

Shen Yuan said solemnly, "Other fragments should also be hidden in these puppets. Keep looking."

At his command, everyone turned around and continued searching, but this time they had a target. They no longer searched blindly, but directly looked for the puppets.

Soon, they found fragments one after another from the puppet. Tang Mianmian and Xiao Tangqiu also found a few. After confirming that there would be no new fragments of photos, they put the fragments together and pieced them together like a jigsaw puzzle.

There were a lot of fragments, and they pieced them together to form three photos, but at the end, they found that one fragment seemed to be missing.

"Why does this photo seem to be missing a piece..." Tang Mianmian said, pointing to the gap in one of the photos.

A girl said coldly: "There are no other fragments."

"That's strange. Could it be on that monster?" Tang Mianmian wondered.

Xiao Tangqiu stared at the empty space for a while, and suddenly realized: "This should be it!"

He quickly opened the flap of the pocket watch and put the photo on the back of the flap into the gap. Sure enough, it fit perfectly!

"Holy crap! There's actually this kind of operation! You're so clever!" Tang Mianmian exclaimed excitedly, "Alright! Now it's all complete! It's perfect!"

Everyone lowered their heads to look at the three photos. Xiao Tangqiu, not wanting to be left behind, also began to study them carefully. The three photos were all photos of two people. The first photo was of a young woman holding a child, which was actually the main content of the photo in the pocket watch, except that there was an extra background in the photo.

But as he continued to look down, Xiao Tangqiu discovered that the backgrounds of the three photos were the same, all in front of the gate of the strange castle they were in. The castles in the three photos were exactly the same, without any changes.

In the second photo, it was still the same woman, holding the hand of a delicate-looking little boy, who looked about five or six years old, and was looking at the camera with an indifferent expression.

In the third photo, it seems to be the same woman, but she has aged a lot, and the person standing next to her has become a teenager about sixteen or seventeen years old. The teenager is quite handsome, and even though the photo is old and yellowed, you can still see that he has red lips and white teeth, and is very beautiful. His facial features are even more delicate than a doll.

Xiao Tangqiu stared at the young man for a while. For some reason, he suddenly remembered Narcissus, the beautiful young man in Greek mythology who fell in love with and chased his own reflection in the water and drowned... That Narcissus must have been at least this level of beauty, right?

"He's quite good-looking," Tang Mianmian commented, stroking her chin. "If I had this look, I'd probably have been the second or third male lead a long time ago..."

"The woman in the photos is the same person, so the child next to her should also be the same person. This is when the child was just born, this is when the child was five or six years old, and this is when the child was sixteen or seventeen years old." Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly. "So now the question is, who is this woman, and who is this child?"

Tang Mianmian thought for a moment: "Lili Marlene and the child she gave birth to by Lepnobet?"

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly remembered something: "I seemed to see some words on the back of the photo just now. Let's turn it over and take a look."

The two of them spent some time turning over all the photo fragments, and sure enough, they found two lines of small words in a corner of the first photo. Because of the age, the two lines of words were a little blurry. Fortunately, they found that it was English, not some minority language they didn't recognize.

Those seem to be two names, probably the names of the two people in the photo.

"Laura?" Tang Mianmian struggled to read. "It seems this woman's name is Laura. What's going on? She's not Lili Marlene? Wait, the next line is..."
