Chapter 41.2 (2/2)

This poor woman was dead for hundreds of years, and everything about her had already turned to dust with the passage of time.

“What about the paintings in the castle?”

Tang Mianmian looked incredulous. “There are portraits of Lily Marlene everywhere in this castle, and I even have to be stared at by her when I go to the toilet… But now you’re telling me that this Lily Marlene may not even exist at all?”

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out, “I found it! There’s another door! “

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian turned around and saw the aloof woman take down one of the mirrors on the wall. Behind the mirror was a door!

“There’s a door!” Xiao Tangqiu was immediately excited. “There’s actually a third underground chamber!”

Duan Hongzhen flipped his knife and walked towards the door: “This room is so hidden. It seems that it’s almost time for the truth to be revealed…”

“Older sister, you’re amazing! How did you find this door? There are so many mirrors here!” Tang Mianmian excitedly asked the aloof woman.

She merely gave Tang Mianmian a cold look. Obviously, she intended to ignore Tang Mianmian. She returned to Shen Yuan’s side. “Older brother, I just looked at it. There should be only three underground secret rooms in total. This should be the last one.”

Shen Yuan nodded and said lightly, “Be careful.”

This last door was obviously a little difficult to open, Duan Hongzhen stood in front of the door for a long time. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian also nervously waited for quite some time before a clear and crisp noise sounded from the lock.

Click

The door opened.

Duan Hongzhen smiled and said, “Well, then it’s time to find out the truth-“

As soon as he said that, he resolutely pushed the door and entered.

When Xiao Tangqiu stepped into the last secret chamber, he was immediately stunned by the scene before him. Even if he had already done a good job in mentally preparing himself, he couldn’t help feeling stunned.

This room wasn’t big, but it was filled to the brim. Half of it was a bedroom, full of all kinds of furniture such as bedding and wardrobes, while the other half was a studio with easel frames and all kinds of paintbrushes, paints, as well as many paintings that hadn’t been framed yet.

The bedroom on the right side obviously belonged to a woman. The furniture all had a woman’s touch. There were all kinds of dressing mirrors and jewelry boxes. There were also many puppet dolls at the head of the bed. The open wardrobe was full of all kinds of dresses. The studio on the left was much more messy, with picture frames and paintings all over the floor. A large mirror was also placed in front of the easel.

Xiao Tangqiu walked to the front of the easel and took a look. On the easel was an unfinished portrait of Lily Marlene. The portrait was only partially completed, while on the floor were all the completed portraits of her. The clothes and posture of Lily Marlene in these paintings were different, but the dresses they were wearing were clearly the same as those in the wardrobe in the bedroom on the right!

Tang Mianmian couldn’t wait to turn out the bedroom. Soon, he dug out a female wig from a delicate, small box!

“Fuck!”

Xiao Tangqiu quickly walked towards Tang Mianmian. “What’s the matter?”

“Fucking hell! It’s a wig! This… this… this… You take a look yourself!” Tang Mianmian couldn’t close his mouth properly.

In addition to the wig, he also dug out a lot of things from that delicate, little box, all of which were used for cross-dressing!

Xiao Tangqiu searched through the jewelry pile and found a pocket watch. He immediately picked it up.

The front of the pocket watch was engraved with the name “Lippinobert.”

Xiao Tangqiu opened the pocket watch and saw that there was also an old photo behind the lid. The photo clearly showed Lippinobert as a teenager. The handsome young man looked squarely at the camera. He was holding an ugly puppet in his arms. The puppet was the dwarf puppet they had seen before.

Just then, he suddenly found that there was something behind the photo. He flipped it over and underneath it was a photo of Lily Marlene.

Different from the other portraits, the “Lily Marlene” in this photo looked very young, and was also holding the ugly dwarf puppet in her arms.

Xiao Tangqiu instantly understood what that meant. He turned the pocket watch over, and sure enough, there was a name engraved on the back of the pocket watch.

Lily Marlene.

Lippinobert —Lilly Marlene.
