Ellie scratched her head somewhat helplessly. After all, Bai Xia was so playful, so it was understandable that she would arrange her room in a modern style, right? But even so, there was no reason to forbid everyone from entering her room, was there?
Isn't it just that the style doesn't fit the worldview of this world? Then she should search more carefully. What secrets was Bai Xia hiding?
So Ellie began to carefully inspect Bai Xia's room. The first targets were the two things that looked like wardrobes at the innermost part of the room, which had a strong sense of presence. There shouldn't be any traps or mechanisms in her own room, right? She thought this, but Ellie was still very careful when opening the wardrobes.
However, Ellie just gently twisted the handle of the wardrobe, and then the wardrobe door opened by itself, and then something unknown immediately pressed down on Ellie!
Trap!!
Ellie, reacting quickly, immediately activated Self-Time Acceleration, freezing time. Bai Xia actually put… a trap… in her wardrobe??
When Ellie saw the mountain of clothes, packed to the brim in the wardrobe and about to collapse, in the frozen world, she was instantly speechless. Bai Xia, your trap is quite well-designed, isn't it??
So Ellie immediately canceled Self-Time Acceleration, and saw the clothes packed in the wardrobe instantly tumble out with a whoosh.
Was Bai Xia too lazy? Didn't she even fold her clothes before putting them in? Did she just stuff them all in? However, seeing this, Ellie wasn't really qualified to criticize her.
In Nazarick, she had people to take care of things, but when she was alive at home, she often did the same thing.
Then came the other wardrobe, and it was the same; a pile of clothes tumbled out when it was opened. Ellie felt a bit helpless to complain, but despite that, Ellie still rummaged through those two large piles of clothes.
After all, she needed to check if Bai Xia had also put any small tools in the wardrobe. However, there were none. It seemed Bai Xia didn't have the habit of casually stuffing accessories or tools into the wardrobe. She was the same in this regard.
Then she checked the nightstand, bookshelf, desk drawers, under the bed, and other places, but found nothing special.
It doesn't make sense, does it? Isn't this just an ordinary room? There's nothing intentionally hidden, right? Why forbid everyone from entering her room? She didn't understand… At this moment, Ellie, somewhat perplexed, noticed something on the "computer desk." She saw what looked like an envelope on the computer desk, with a very modern-looking paper cutter pressing it down. She had been so busy looking elsewhere that she overlooked something so obvious!
So Ellie picked up the envelope on the desk without hesitation, opened it, and found only a single note inside. On the note was a line of very elegant and familiar handwriting, written in the script of her world.
"The key is pressed under the keyboard."
Ellie looked at these inexplicable words, a little confused… Keyboard?? This was another world, wasn't it? Where would there be a computer keyboard?
Ellie was about to complain when she noticed that the computer desk was right in front of her, wasn't it? And that horizontally placed rectangular mirror was also imitating a computer, right? In that case… Ellie decisively sat down in front of the computer desk, then reached her hand under the desk, and sure enough… there was a pull-out tray, the kind that comes standard with a computer desk for holding a keyboard.
So Ellie pulled out the tray with a whoosh, and indeed, there was something resembling a computer keyboard on it. However, keyboards in her world were generally made of plastic, but Bai Xia's… was metal. But what was this thing used for??
Ellie first curiously pressed a key on the keyboard, but it wouldn't budge… It didn't look like it was fixed in place. With a bit of force, it should be pressable, but Ellie was afraid of breaking it, so she didn't move it.
The main thing was the key! So Ellie first flipped the keyboard over, and sure enough, under the keyboard, she saw a key with a heart symbol at the end. It also came with a similar envelope to the previous one. Naturally… she would read it first.
"The item is in the router."
This was written on the note inside the envelope. Router?? Did such a thing exist in this world? What was all this nonsense? But since a keyboard had been imitated, it would be normal to imitate a router, right? Ellie was increasingly confused about what Bai Xia was trying to do.
According to the keyboard's nature, a typical router should also be placed near the computer desk, right? So Ellie lowered herself and, sure enough, on the side of the computer desk, precisely in the gap between it and the bookshelf, she saw a black box, also full of modern flair.
But it was wedged in the middle, so Ellie could only pull out the computer desk herself to see the "router" hanging on the side of the computer desk.
After seeing that router, Ellie understood what the note meant. After all, that thing only had the appearance of a router; in reality, it was a box, and a box with a lock.
The heart symbol all around the keyhole clearly indicated the key, which was the one she had found under the keyboard earlier.
So… Ellie opened the box, disguised as a router, without hesitation. Inside was an envelope and a very stylish-looking bracelet, but Ellie's attention was caught by the words written on the envelope's cover… Unlike the previous two envelopes, which had nothing written on them, this envelope had words written on the outside this time… However, what was written on it was:
"Elizabeth, please open."
