[Zhongyingmei] Official Mascot

Startled, she subconsciously jumped forward, but the three little raccoons had long since disappeared.

Where did you go? !

Dolores immediately knelt on the floor and looked down. It was dark under the cabinet, but there was obviously nothing underneath.

This is really strange, Dolores waved her hand, and the cabinet moved aside, making a short creaking sound on the floor, leaving two clear traces in the dust.

There is a fist-sized hole where the floor and the wall meet, and the edge looks like it has been bitten, and the inside is dark, and nothing can be seen.

Dolores looked in suspiciously, but there was nothing.

But there is a hole here that makes her feel very strange, as if something is pulling her, urging her to explore.

Biting her lip, Dolores plunged her consciousness into the hole and slowly extended it.

However, to her surprise, although the entrance of the cave looked purely destroyed by small animals, there were obvious artificial traces inside.

Inside is a quite wide space, boxy and hidden behind the wall, the opening is at the farthest corner, but the main body of the secret space is behind the closet.

There are many traces of insects or raccoons and other animals inside, which were opened up and extended along the pipes in the wall to the bottom, maybe the basement, it seems that there will be small animals unintentionally because no one is active Between groping to come here.

She retracted her touch, stood up and patted her pants. Dolores looked at the closet, thinking in confusion.

Why is there such a small place here?

It's like someone is trying to hide something deliberately.

The doubts in Dolores' mind flashed, and she stepped forward decisively to open the closet.

This room is not completely empty, only some useless things of the former owner are left, and the others have been taken away. Maybe the owner's jewelry and other small gadgets were displayed in this closet. It was quite large, and there was a rusty brass ring in the corner of the cabinet, which was left there unattended.

The back of the cabinet was empty, and Dolores knew that, but she reached in and felt, but there was nothing.

He knocked on the wallboard, and sure enough there was a thumping sound from inside.

How did you open it?

She poked her head in and looked around suspiciously.

Is there any agency?

Thinking of this, Dolores stretched her hand in again, groping up and down carefully.

The five wall panels were very smooth. Dolores frowned and touched for a while, when she suddenly felt a small depression embedded in the top wall panel that looked like a screw in a certain corner.

The material of this depression is obviously different from the surrounding solid wood. It should be a metal product, smoothly embedded in the wall panel, about the size of a thumb, with uneven lines in the center.

She buttoned it twice, but there was no movement. Dolores blinked. Could it be that she guessed wrong, this is an ordinary nail?

But why only here?

She let go of her hand, gritted her teeth and thought about it.

Inadvertently, Dolores' eyes fell on the rusty brass ring.

It looked cheap and inconspicuous, its surface oxidized red, and there was a ring of patina imprinted on the inside of the cabinet.

correct! !

Why is such a brass ring of poor quality, even if it is not beautiful in its original appearance, placed here?

Dolores quickly picked it up as if she had found a treasure, and rubbed it with her fingers, leaving dirty marks on her hands, but the pattern on the top of the ring immediately stood out.

She understood it and was overjoyed. She immediately pinched the ring and inserted it into the recess in the closet with perfect fit.

That's right!Dolores carefully pinched the ring and turned it around. The slender ring of the ring was so fragile that it might be broken.

With an imperceptible cracking sound, the innermost wall board suddenly retreated, and a thin gap escaped from the wall boards that were close to it on all sides.

it is as expected? !

Dolores opened her eyes wide, put down the ring, and pushed the movable wall panel aside.

The things inside were so deep that she had to stand on tiptoe with difficulty and try her best to reach in with her hands.

She reached in and found a boxy box with her fingers.

what is this?

Slowly take out the box, it is a small square box made of unknown material, the black surface is very smooth, there is a thin gap, Dolores broke it hard, it took a long time It took a lot of effort to open it.

Her intuition told her that the contents of this box would surprise her.

Holding this intuition, Dolores sat down on the spot without being too dirty.

Holding the box, she flipped through the contents one by one.

A notebook on kraft paper, a few letters, and something like a corsage. The magic is that the pink petals on the corsage are very delicate and even have a faint fragrance, bound with snow-white lace.Dolores thought it was an eternal flower or a plastic imitation, but when she touched it, she was shocked to find that the corsage was actually a real flower.

This flower looks like it has just been picked from the branch. It has been hidden in the wall for at least ten years in this box, but it maintains the beauty of the most beautiful blooming moment.

She put the corsage back in a complicated mood.

magic?

Why use magic to keep a boutonniere alive?

Does it have any special meaning?

With such confusion, she picked up those letters first.

"Although it's a personal letter..."

She muttered softly, and opened the letter with some apology.

The three envelopes looked the same, the most common kind, but when she opened the first envelope, she smelled a faint scent of perfume.

Holding a thin sheet of letter paper, Dolores turned the envelope over, and saw a line of words in proper handwriting on it.

— to Samantha.

aunt?It turned out that this was Aunt Samantha's room.

She had a premonition in her heart, who might have written this letter...

Unfolding the letter paper, Dolores confirmed her hunch.

"Dear Samantha:

Wishing you all the best.

Thank you for helping me find that book, it was very important to me.Louis is always playing tricks on me and it bothers me sometimes, but luckily you helped me out this time.

He's dating your sister now, and sometimes I think they're a good match, and last time Fiona asked me to go, but I said no because Louis obviously didn't like it.

how have you been?I went to Stone's party last time and didn't see you, I thought you would come.

Actually, I want to make a suggestion to you. You know, after all, your sister has gradually integrated into this society. I think you should also get in touch with everyone a little more. Maybe this can help you find the person you are looking for?

Of course, it all depends on your own preferences, because I understand that you don't like parties or banquets and believe me the same, the music they play is too loud, and everyone is crazy, at Stone's , I saw someone hiding in the toilet smoking marijuana. (It's not a good thing. Don't try to understand it, and don't touch it. If someone else offers it to you, just say no.)

I don't like that kind of place either, I prefer cafes and libraries, if not offensive, are you free this weekend?I know there is a great place.

ps: In fact, we can make a phone call, which is more convenient. It seems that few people write letters now (strike out), of course, if you want, we can just write like this, I think it is very retro, very good, very cool.

Your loyal friend, Mars. "

Dolores could almost immediately feel the shy love that the young Uncle Mars had for Samantha from the lines, which made her feel dazed for a moment.

From this letter, she can feel that Mars is like another person, with very correct writing styles, it is not difficult to see that the writer is very jerky, with a bit of childishness, and maybe a little nerd Attributes of a good student like...

She...she couldn't connect the person who wrote the letter with the cold, unsmiling Uncle Mars who was frightening all the year round! !

Dolores didn't expect that the first letter would give her such a big shock, and she was stunned for a while with mixed feelings before reaching out to the next letter.

"Dear Samantha:

Wishing you all the best.

It seems like a long time ago when I wrote to you last time. Last time I suggested to you that you could use the telephone. Now that you have learned it, I feel that it is not as pleasant as when we exchanged letters.

This may be the charm of letter writing, I guess, and it is indeed quite romantic.

I noticed you didn't seem particularly happy when Louise and Fiona announced their marriage yesterday?why?

They have been in a relationship for a long time, and sometimes I envy their relationship, as if they are so strong that they will never be separated.Oh no, they are going to get married, and of course they won't be separated.

The last time they quarreled, I was taken aback. It was the first time I saw them like that. Since Louis took over the company, it seems that he has really gone out with her less and less. Fiona sent a big message Fire, but I can totally understand, if it were me, I would definitely not do it.

Good thing they are finally getting married.

By the way, this is not the purpose of my writing to you. I'm sorry, but I can't help mentioning a lot about the two of them.

I'm graduating next month, and there's a prom at school, and I need a suitable dance partner, so I want to ask if you can be my dance partner, hope you have time.

NO.15 next month, you shouldn't be too busy, right? ?

I really hope you can come. Enclosed is a corsage for my girlfriend, which I just picked in the garden this morning.

I have something I want to discuss with you (a few pen marks) after the dance.

Your faithful Mars. "

This is.....

Dolores looked at the last sentence and pursed her lips silently.

Wait, what Uncle Mars said about negotiating? ?

Just by reading the letter, she could see immediately that after the ball he would show his feelings and so on. How could this word be used? ? ?

That girl would like the scene where she was confessed to be called a 'discussion'?

Dolores didn't even pay much attention to the possibility of her parents proposing and getting married at this time, and she just felt sorry for Mars' unspeakable past.
