“Everyone, leave for now… Don’t touch anything inside this room. Leave it all to me,” Xyla Quest said.
The servants were more than happy to hear this. As soon as they heard what Xyla said, they all ran outside.
Once everyone had left, Xyla shifted her gaze back to the box in the drawer.
Upon taking a closer look, she discovered a piece of red paper beneath the box.
She knew there would be secrets regardless of whether it was the box before her eyes or the paper beneath the box.
If something terrifying wasn’t hidden inside, Emily Quest definitely wouldn’t have used a box that contained such a mechanism.
Although Xyla badly wanted to know what was inside, she didn’t dare to just touch it.
Xyla could only suppress her curiosity and carefully push the drawer back inside.
She’d have to look for someone professional to solve this mystery.
Otherwise, she would end up like the female servant earlier.
From the odd symbols on the wall to the strange box in front of her, Xyla realized more and more that she didn’t know who Emily really was.
Her gaze unintentionally shifted to another drawer beside her. She saw another red doll in the shape of a human as well as a red booklet.
Xyla’s name was sewn onto the doll.
She immediately frowned slightly before picking the doll up.
Then, Xyla discovered that not only was her name sewn onto the doll, but the large bunch of symbols she was earlier were also sewn onto it.
Xyla turned the doll around to look at its back.
Likewise, her name and weird symbols were also sewn onto the back of the doll.
With a confused look on her face, Xyla put the doll aside. She then picked up the booklet to check it out.
Inside the booklet, there were a bunch of odd symbols, just as she had seen before.
Every page she flipped through was the same.
When she got to the last page, she finally saw a row of words written in Country Z’s language.
The words were written in red, and it looked like Emily’s handwriting. ‘Help Master kill Xyla Quest. Kill Xyla Quest. Kill Xyla Quest. Kill Xyla Quest… Long live Master.”
Suddenly, countless question marks appeared in Xyla’s mind.
All of this was just too fishy…
Xyla wanted to stay in Emily’s room to look through her other personal belongings.
She wanted to obtain more clues.
However, to avoid being harmed by any other hidden, strange, and poisonous objects in the room, Xyla chose to leave the closet with the booklet.
Xyla directly drove out to purchase a set of impenetrable protective gear.
The set of protective gear included a full suit, a face mask, goggles, and gloves.
These things looked not much different from regular medical protective gear.
After putting the complete set of protective gear on, Xyla first opened the drawer and retrieved the box with Country Z designs on it.
The password combination device on the box seemed no different from those on ordinary luggage.
