Although the style of the painting was not proficient, and could even be described as childish, Angel still recognized the boy in the painting as himself, at a glance.
Hua Que had recorded her first encounter with Angel by drawing it.
Angel continued to flip through several pages; every page showed Hua Que with himself, using her childlike artistic skills to document everything after their encounter.
It wasn’t until he reached the tenth page that Angel disappeared from the images.
Replacing Angel was a girl holding a barbecue stick, biting into grilled meat. Hua Que highlighted the grilled meat with great detail, even the dripping honey oil was depicted clearly and distinctly.
“She seems a bit familiar,” Sanders, looking at the girl, felt as though a name was on the tip of his tongue.
After pondering for a moment, Angel said, “It should be Lady Greya, or rather, the original owner of the body possessed by Lady Greya.”
The reason Angel encountered Hua Que in the first place was actually due to the Soul Pearl in her hands, and according to Hua Que, the Soul Pearl was a gift from Greya.
Angel later found out that it was actually the original owner of Greya’s body who had given the Soul Pearl to Hua Que. At that time, Greya’s consciousness was often in a dormant state, but when Greya was asleep, the original owner could take control of the body.
Angel kept flipping through the pages, which all depicted conversations between Greya and Hua Que.
When Greya disappeared from the pages, Angel finally saw words again.
“The kitten has already meowed almost two hundred times now, I miss my big brother and little sister… Little sister told me to call her ‘big sister,’ why is that?”
The “big brother” and “little sister” mentioned here were likely referring to Angel and Greya.
As for “the kitten has meowed one hundred times”, Angel’s gaze shifted to a wall clock, where the hour hand was still moving. At the same time, through the transparent glass, one could see a little kitten dozing off in a small compartment behind the clock.
This kitten would meow once every day at dawn. Hua Que’s record indicated that the kitten had meowed two hundred times, meaning that half a year had passed.
In this half year, Hua Que hadn’t recorded anything, which meant: “This Record Book is not a diary, she used it to document matters that are important to her.”
Having reached this conclusion, Angel flipped further through the book.
There were still several pages of sentences recording the passage of time.
However, when Angel turned to the thirtieth page, he once again saw a painting.
In this painting, a strange figure appeared.
It was a person without a face, or rather, Hua Que seemed unsatisfied after drawing the face, so she modified it with correction fluid, ultimately presenting a figure with no facial features.
This figure stood outside the Illusionary Realm while Hua Que herself shrank into a corner within the Illusionary Realm.
The drawing was quite sloppy, but it still conveyed Hua Que’s fear.
In the following pages, this faceless figure appeared continuously. However, he never entered the Illusionary Realm. Each time he came, Hua Que would hide in the corner.
Angel could even imagine the scene at the time: a fearsome presence arrived under the well, uttering low whispers outside the Illusionary Realm, while Hua Que shivered in fear, only feeling safe when curled up in a corner.
This odd figure appeared in over a dozen entries.
Afterwards, he disappeared, and the pages returned to Hua Que’s records of time passing.
“Who could this person be?” Angel frowned, it seemed that he didn’t do anything to Hua Que, so why was she so afraid every time she saw him?
Angel temporarily suppressed his confusion and continued to flip through, because up to this point, Hua Que still hadn’t recorded the reason for her departure, or perhaps… it was that strange figure who had taken Hua Que away?
With this question in mind, Angel turned to another page of images.
When this image appeared, Angel’s eyes flashed with surprise!
