Chapter 2055


    The weather had changed drastically outside, turning everything dark around X Quest and Stanley Batton. They couldn''t even see their own hands.


    X subconsciously wrapped her arms around Stanley''s neck.


    Why was this strange phenomenon taking ce? Was the nine-tailed demon fox here?


    Stanley tightened his hold on his wife, not daring to let go as he frowned while peering around cautiously.


    And then everything brightened up again, causing them to squint.


    Right then, X noticed a book and a silver hairpin on the final step of the staircase not far away from where they stood.


    The silver hairpin had a simple yet elegant design with a red gemstone engraved on its edge.


    X was stunned.


    Meanwhile, a look of surprise also appeared across Stanley''s face as he promptly carried X down the stairs before setting her down carefully.


    He then picked up the silver hairpin and book.


    The book was the ssic kind of book they frequently saw in period dramas with a dark blue cover.


    The hairpin seemed simple yet luxurious up close.


    The red gemstone had a faint glow that seemed to flicker continually.


    What were these things?


    X and Stanley immediately exchanged nces.


    "How did this happen? The weather changed so suddenly just now," X wondered out loud. "Someone deliberately left us these things. But what''s the meaning of this?


    "Honey, let''s open the book and see what''s inside."All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Stanley frowned but obeyed and opened the book, noticing a distinct scent of bibliosmia typically found in organic materials.


    The pages within were dark yellowish, looking somewhat aged.


    Every page was nk, without a single content in the entire book.


    X shot Stanley a look of surprise. "What is this?"


    Who sent them these items? What was the point?


    She couldn''t understand it.


    X carefully reached for the book

    pages.


    What was the point of receiving a book like this?

    X then reached for the silver hairpin Stanley held to examine carefully.

    What was going on? Could she have imagined it?


    Immediately after that, the book in her hand flew into Stanley''s hands right


    Ser eyes, catching her


    off guard.


    Despite her vast knowledge, she couldn''t remain calm without reacting to what happened.


    Stanley and X both exchanged shocked nces.


    He held onto the book as he gazed at her. “Maybe we''re meant for an object each?"


    X nodded slowly, agreeing that it seemed to be the case.


    "Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?" she frowned.


    Although, for some unknown reason, her instincts were telling her it was a good thing.


    Stanley felt the same way.
