Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 10: Lava [Complete]

1259: Playing House Begins

Why did she write the same content again two years later?

Bohemia put away the diaries she found and quickly descended from the attic, rushing into the master bedroom. The three Glowfish hurriedly followed behind her, illuminating the room for her.

As one of Bohemia's main activity areas, this bedroom surely had other clues. She had been so focused on finding the diaries that she might have missed something else. This time, Bohemia was determined.

She searched every possible place, shaking out each piece of clothing, touching every corner, and even checking inside the shoes; she knocked on the walls, wooden floors, and ceiling to check for hollow spaces.

However, after searching everywhere and covered in sweat, she found nothing—no, that's not right.

There was one place she hadn't checked yet: Under the bed.

Looking at the white bed skirt that concealed the area under the bed, Bohemia wondered what terrifying scene might be hidden there. Would she see her own face under the bed? Or would she discover Yuan Xiangxi had been hiding there all along? Or maybe, when she looked down, someone else was looking back at her.

Originally, she wanted to prepare herself mentally, but the more she thought about it, the more her back felt cold, and she nervously looked around multiple times, seeing only the empty and messy bedroom.

No, she would scare herself to death like this.

Bohemia took a deep breath, stepped back several steps, and gritted her teeth as she used Higher Consciousness to lift the bed skirt. She didn't dare get down on all fours again, just half-bent, and peered inside. Underneath was a layer of dust, hair, and dirt, and only a small iron bucket lay on the floor.

Why would there be a bucket under the bed?

She slowly removed the small iron bucket and examined it closely. Some black and yellow stains were inside, probably there for a long time. Most of the smell had dissipated, leaving only a faint stench.

Just like the starch in the study, it was another strange thing that shouldn't be here.

She put the bucket back and stood in the bedroom, which looked like it had been ransacked, feeling a little lost.

She hadn't figured out the problem with the diaries yet, and there was now another puzzle. Could this bucket be the only clue?

As Bohemia walked out, lost in thought, she stopped when she passed the tallboy.

Each drawer had been pulled out long ago, leaving only the wooden frame. She had carefully felt the inside of the wooden frame. However, a small stack of brand-new empty envelopes was on top of the tallboy.

Because they looked unused, Bohemia had only pushed them aside and briefly glanced at them earlier. Now she looked at them again, picking them up one by one, pinching them, and opening the envelopes to check inside—they were all empty. However, on the second-to-last envelope, although it was also empty, she noticed a faint pencil mark on the inside.

Mom,

By the time you read this letter, I'll be on my way home. If you receive a call, don't tell him where I am and pretend to be very worried. Come to Lily's hotel two days after receiving this letter.

No signature, no date.

This letter was prepared in advance so that it could be sent out at any time without being discovered.

Bohemia's fingers trembled slightly as she sealed the envelope and placed it back on top of the tallboy. She slowly turned around and looked at Yuan Xiangxi standing at the door. Finally, she managed to say, "When did you come here?"
