Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 1307: Palm-Sized Bone

The group, along with He Ruomei, walked to the secret room she mentioned.

Following He Ruomei’s instructions, they picked up a book.

The bookshelf in front of them immediately slid to the sides.

This secret room was right next to the secret room on the other side of the wall.

The two secret rooms were very close to each other.

The group was somewhat surprised; they hadn’t expected there to really be another secret room here.

But this secret room wasn’t as large as the one next door, it was only a small compartment.

Descending the stairs at the entrance of the secret room, they entered a small partition.

It was about four or five square meters in size.

Directly facing the entrance stairs was a cabinet.

Seeing this cabinet, everyone felt it looked familiar, inevitably reminding them of the cabinet in the adjoining secret room.

They all knew what was inside that secret room’s cabinet.

If they guessed correctly, this cabinet should contain the same kind of items.

Xun Tianhai saw this and immediately took a step forward, wanting to open the cabinet.

However, as soon as his hand touched the cabinet door, He Ruomei suddenly shouted, "No, don’t open it..."

Xun Tianhai turned his head suspiciously to look at her, "What do you mean? Is there something fishy inside this cabinet?"

He Ruomei quickly said, "No, no, I, I just want to open it myself..."

Xun Tianhai scrutinized He Ruomei, somewhat not believing her.

He Ruomei, however, started to choke up, "My husband is in there..."

Seeing her nearly on the verge of tears, Xun Tianhai immediately felt a bit overwhelmed.

He Ruomei continued crying, "I want to open it myself, just to see him one last time, okay?"

Before Xun Tianhai could speak, Yu Misheng suddenly said, "Are you really that close with Wu Jianhan?"

He Ruomei choked and said, "He’s my husband, and we have children together..."

Yu Misheng stared at her, "If you two were so close, why did you kill him?"

He Ruomei raised her hand, made of bone fragments, to cover her face, sobbing, "It’s all my fault... But I really had no choice... He insisted on bringing you all over, and I, I was afraid you’d uncover my true identity, so I had to... had to act first... But, but I really didn’t want to harm him, I just couldn’t help it..."

She cried sorrowfully, her tears mixed with flesh and mud hitting the ground with a splatter, echoing her cries, emphasizing how distressed she felt.

Xun Tianhai sighed, "Forget it, go ahead and open it."

Yu Misheng glanced at Xun Tianhai but said nothing.

Yu Hezi tugged on his arm, "Brother, let her see him. We’re all watching, nothing should happen."

Yu Misheng pressed his lips together, said nothing, but took a step back in concession.

Xun Tianhai gestured at He Ruomei.

He Ruomei looked at the restraints on her body, "You have me tied up like this, I can’t move..."

Xun Tianhai, hearing this, could only look towards Yu Misheng.

Yu Misheng observed this, took out a talisman, and struck it on He Ruomei’s legs, "I can only release your legs, your hands can move now."

He Ruomei’s fingers could still move slightly.

The movement range was just limited.

But it was enough for her to open the cabinet door.

The restraints on He Ruomei’s feet were also released.

Seeing this, He Ruomei said nothing, but took a step forward, slowly turning stiffly towards the cabinet.

Xun Tianhai, Yu Misheng, and the others watched from the side.

He Ruomei approached, painstakingly extending her fingers through the netting’s gaps, placing them on the handle.

Though it was a bit taxing, soon enough... she managed to open the cabinet door.

He Ruomei’s eyes suddenly brightened.

Xun Tianhai and others looked over at the same time.

And they saw that inside the cabinet, there was no body at all, only a strangely shaped, palm-sized bone.
