The next morning, Charlie wasted no time. He brought the letter back to the library, hoping to find more clues about the mysterious room. As he examined the walls and shelves, he noticed a few strange markings on some of the older books, symbols that matched the one on the wax seal of the letter. Could they be hints?

Charlie carefully took down a book with the same owl symbol, opening it to a random page. Tucked between the pages was a map, old and delicate, showing an outline of Willowbrook School but with a few extra rooms marked that weren’t on any school map he had seen before. His heart raced with excitement as he realized he was closer to solving the riddle.

As he examined the map, he found a faded marking that seemed to lead to the school’s basement, an area he’d never thought twice about. He decided to follow the map and see where it would take him, hoping the mystery would become clearer with every step.

第二天一早,查理毫不拖延地开始行动。他把信带回图书馆,希望能找到更多关于神秘房间的线索。当他仔细查看墙壁和书架时,发现一些旧书上有奇怪的标记,这些符号与信封蜡封上的符号相同。这些会是线索吗?

查理小心地取下一本带有同样猫头鹰符号的书,随便翻开一页,发现书页之间夹着一张地图,古老而脆弱,上面画着威洛布鲁克学校的轮廓,但多出几个他从未在学校地图上见过的房间。他激动地意识到自己离解开谜题更近了。

仔细研究地图后,他发现一个模糊的标记似乎指向学校的地下室,那是他从未特别留意过的地方。他决定按照地图指引去看看,希望随着每一步走近,谜团会变得更加清晰。
