Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2869 A Pool of Blood

Charlene was also surprised when she heard Shi Ye's words.

The two looked at each other, completely bewildered.

They searched tirelessly for so many clues, yet they were still completely clueless, like looking at flowers through a fog.

After a moment of contemplation, Shi Ye suggested, "Why don't we lay out all the evidence we've found and examine it again to see if we've missed any details?"

Charlene nodded in agreement.

As of now, that's all it can do.

The two of them simply sat down on the ground and began to lay out all the evidence they had just collected.

It started with the diary, which they carefully flipped through page by page, trying to find any clues that might have been missed.

However, just as initially observed, there seemed to be no new discoveries.

Just as Charlene was about to close the diary, she suddenly felt something inexplicable, as if some important detail had been quietly overlooked.

She opened the diary with a puzzled look, and then tore it open with force. To her surprise, she found that several pages seemed to have been torn out, and the cut edges looked rough, as if they had been torn off in a hurry.

Moreover, some pages that should have been blank had faint outlines of writing visible under the light, as if someone had written something on them.

Charlene perked up and said, "Someone tore up the diary!!! This is no accident; there must be something hidden behind it."

Shino took the diary and examined it closely.

From a certain angle, the faint handwriting seemed to form some blurry words, like "being targeted by something"?

But I'm not entirely sure...

Shino frowned, then suddenly realized something and said, "Wait... this looks like an invisible pen?"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Charlene reached out and gently stroked the paper. The texture was subtly different, as if it really had a slight raised or recessed feel.

She said, "Under normal circumstances, some invisible pen inks only become visible when they come into contact with water."

There's a pool of water nearby, so we can give it a try.

I'll get it.

As she spoke, Charlene immediately got up, walked to the edge of the pool, picked up the yellowed page with her fingertips, and slowly immersed it in the pool water.

Sure enough, an unbelievable miracle happened before our eyes.

The words on the originally blank paper gradually appeared as if by magic, each stroke clearly legible.

However, what is even more shocking is that the paper soaked in water actually takes on a strange and vivid red color.

The color was so intense it was unsettling, as if it had been thoroughly soaked in fresh blood, and it appeared particularly glaring in the dim light.

Just then, a faint ray of light shone through the gaps in the leaves overhead and onto the water's surface.

Charlene glanced into the pool and immediately felt a chill run through her body.

Beneath the rippling water, she could vaguely make out some creepy objects.

She forced herself to look closely, and was horrified to discover that the entire bottom of the pool was densely covered with bones, the stark white bones appearing and disappearing in the water.

"Ah ah ah..."

Charlene couldn't help but scream in terror. Even though she knew that there was nothing but inanimate objects at the bottom of the pool, the soul-piercing fear still swept over her like a tidal wave.

Her legs instantly lost all strength, making it impossible for her to stand up, and she uncontrollably collapsed to the ground.

Overwhelmed by intense fear, she could only remain in this disheveled position, retreating backward on the muddy ground, as if trying to escape this terrifying place.

"what happened?"

Shino wasn't paying attention to this; thinking that Xia Lin would be back soon anyway, he continued to look at the newspaper.

Unexpectedly, I saw Xia Lin lose her composure like this.

Viewers were on the edge of their seats, holding their breath, so tense they forgot to even post comments.

Just as everyone was getting tense, the live stream suddenly cut off! The screen went black, leaving only a silent darkness.

The audience erupted in an uproar.

"Ugh, this damn live stream, why does it always cut off at the crucial moment???"

"I even subscribed to a membership just to watch your lousy live stream, and you still won't let me finish watching it! That's so unfair!"

"Which idiot came up with this terrible idea halfway through planning the live stream? Come out and take your punishment!"

"You guys could have easily captured such a huge wave of traffic, but instead, you just wasted it all!!!"

"When the live stream was interrupted last week, I swore that if I watched this stupid live stream again, I would be a dog. But this week I didn't believe it and wanted to see what new tricks you guys could come up with to catch me."

Now look what's happened—my appetite has been completely whetted! I've lost.

"As expected of Director Curry, you have such a good grasp of the audience's psychology! How do you manage to capture our hearts so precisely every time?"

"That's going too far! Every time it's the most tense, most crucial moment, suddenly stopping is incredibly unethical, don't you know that?!"

"Isn't it like this? Every time I watch a movie, just when the story is about to reach its climax, the plot is abruptly cut off, leaving me feeling unsatisfied... That anxious feeling of uncertainty is so agonizing, I want to kill the director!!!"

"I can't take it anymore! I'm going to rush to their official social media accounts and give them a good scolding. They're doing nothing right every day, always manipulating the audience's emotions. It's infuriating!"

"Wait, I'll go with you to yell at them."

"I'll go as well."

……

At the same time, a large number of netizens went to the program's comments section to hurl insults and accuse the production team of deliberately teasing the audience.

Interestingly, as the criticism continued, everyone's focus gradually shifted.

Many people are speculating about who the real murderer is in that suspenseful storyline.

What's even more intriguing is what terrifying thing Charlene saw at the bottom of the pool that terrified her so much?

You should know that Xia Lin behaved very well today and wasn't scared at all.

While we were collecting evidence inside, the only thing that happened was the appearance of the ghost face, which startled me once. Otherwise, I was quite normal.

Therefore, her reaction this time was definitely not faked, nor was it for the purpose of attracting attention.

So the question is, what exactly is in the water?

"In the final shot, the water looked so dark that you couldn't see anything."

"Xia Lin's diary has turned red, did you all see that? I have a bold idea, could that pool of water not be ordinary water at all, but blood?"

"Wow, this idea is so spot on! It's the horror theme they're exploring. So, what's hidden at the bottom of the pool? Are they all corpses?"

"If that's the case, I can completely understand the bone-chilling fear that Charlene felt back then!!!"
