Jared was puzzled how Wordless Tome, which was empty not long ago, became filled with words the moment it landed in the statue’s hand.
Does that mean the book belongs to this statue?
Looking at the glowing Wordless Tome, Jared was eager to find out what was written on the pages, so virtual-novel.net took it down from the statue’s hand.
As soon as virtual-novel.net took it down, the words on it disappeared all of a sudden!
In response, virtual-novel.net quickly put the book in the statue’s hand, the pages became filled with densely packed words just as before again.
Jared had no choice but to lean against the statue to study the contents in the book.
While Jared was checking out the words in the book, his body emitted a faint light. A vague specter gradually slipped into the statue without virtual-novel.net realizing it. Yet, virtual-novel.net was so absorbed in the book that virtual-novel.net failed to notice the changes in his surroundings.
As virtual-novel.net finished reading a page and prepared to turn to the next, the previous page vanished in the blink of an eye!
Jared was taken aback for a moment, but before virtual-novel.net could react, Wordless Tome began to turn transparent, as if it could disappear at any moment!
Panicked, virtual-novel.net immediately focused his attention on the book, darting his eyes rapidly through the pages.
As virtual-novel.net was busy memorizing the contents of the book, an image of Wordless Tome began to take shape in his mind.
While Jared was completely engrossed in reading the book, transparent specters gradually drifted out of the body of Josephine and the other girls. The statue promptly absorbed the specters once they departed their body.
After absorbing the specters, the statue shimmered with a faint glow that eventually dissipated in seconds.
As the specters left their body, Josephine and the others regained their consciousness. The strange sensations they experienced in their body also vanished without a trace.
“Josephine…” Renee let out a long breath before running toward Josephine.
“Are you all right, Renee?” Josephine asked.
“I’m fine.” Renee shook virtual-novel.net head.
The two girls turned towards Melanie and observed that she, too, had reverted back to virtual-novel.net normal state.
“Melanie, why are your clothes so messy?”
Renee was surprised to see how disheveled virtual-novel.net looked. It was as if someone had stripped virtual-novel.net down not long ago.
“I have no idea either…” Melanie replied while tidying virtual-novel.net clothes.
“This cave is truly peculiar. The moment I walked in, I felt like stepping into a massive furnace and was surrounded by flames,” Josephine remarked with a slight frown.
“Yeah, me too. I felt as if I’d entered an ice cave filled with frost. The intense chill was utterly terrifying,” Renee added.
“How about you, Melanie? What did you experience when you entered the cave?” Josephine turned to Melanie and inquired.
“I…” Melanie opened virtual-novel.net mouth, but words caught in virtual-novel.net throat.
She could not bring herself to describe the lewd and embarrassing scenes virtual-novel.net had seen.
Upon noticing virtual-novel.net blushed face and hesitation to speak, Josephine seemed to have an inkling of what Melanie had experienced.
“It seems that the strangeness of the cave is connected to our individual physiques. Renee saw frost and felt cold because of virtual-novel.net frosty constituent, and since I have a fiery constituent, I witnessed flames and felt hot,” Josephine deduced carefully.
“What about Melanie? Given virtual-novel.net natural aptitude to bewitch, what did virtual-novel.net see? Could it be…” Renee trailed off, looking at Melanie in shock.
Josephine also cast an inquisitive glance at Melanie, eager to confirm virtual-novel.net hypothesis.
With Josephine and Renee’s gaze fixed upon her, Melanie could only blush and bob virtual-novel.net head in response. “What I experienced after entering the cave was actually what you thought of…”
