After entering and closing the door, Gu Qingxue entered the research institute with the sandalwood box and handed it to the little butler. “Here, my mission is complete.”

The little butler gave Gu Qingxue a thumbs up and said with a smile, “Host, you’re really awesome! However, why didn’t the quest automatically complete?”

Gu Qingxue only realized that something was after hearing the little butler’s words. Logically speaking, she had already brought the box back to the research institute. The system must have sensed it and should have automatically helped her complete this mission.

However, the system did not. From this, it could be seen that there was something wrong.

Gu Qingxue did not panic. She calmly extended her hand and gently swept it over the box. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the little butler. “Do you need me to open this box to check?”

The little butler immediately became energetic. He nodded and said, “Yes, yes! Maybe I really need you to do this! Anyway, there’s no loss in trying. Host, quickly give it a try!’

Gu Qingxue glanced at the locked sandalwood box and pried it open.

With a creak, the sandalwood box was opened. A faint, refreshing fragrance seeped out from it, causing Gu Qingxue to involuntarily take a deep breath.

The next second, she saw a human skin mask placed neatly in the sandalwood box.

At that moment, Gu Qingxue thought that there was something wrong with her eyes.

The facial features of this human skin mask could not be considered handsome. There was even a hideous wound on the left cheek. Even so, Gu Qingxue’s attention was instantly attracted.

Her memories, which had been dormant for a long time, slowly woke up. Gu Qingxue was surprised to find that this human skin mask was exactly the same as the one in her memories. It was the appearance of her late husband.

All sorts of guesses surfaced in Gu Qingxue’s mind. She held the human skin mask in her hand in a daze, and her face revealed a look of bewilderment. She did not know how to describe the complicated feelings that rose in her heart.

Had her husband in Dafu Village disguised himself to be with her?

If that was the case, what should he look like? Moreover, why would this human skin mask appear in the hands of the old prince?

Could it be that there was some kind of connection between the old prince and her husband?

Too many questions occupied Gu Qingxue’s mind at that moment, and she did not know how to react.

Seeing that Gu Qingxue had fallen into silence, the little butler became anxious and hurriedly urged her to ask, “Host, don’t be silent! What exactly happened? Hurry up and explain.”

“You should know that I married someone in Dafu Village. This human skin mask looks exactly like my husband in Dafu Village. This can’t be a coincidence. The old king must know something about my husband. ” As Gu Qingxue spoke, her fingers gently swept across the mask. Her movements were extremely gentle.

The little butler was also very surprised. His eyes widened in surprise. “There’s actually such a thing! Could it be that this was the reason why the mission had not been completed? Perhaps the original owner of this body is particularly concerned about this matter and wants to get an answer. That’s why the system gave you such a mission. Host, there’s not much time left before you complete the mission.. You have to hurry!’
