Omnipotent Mrs. Finn

Chapter 391 Boxes

Levi looked up and followed her line of sight upwards, immediately intending to see her point.

"You mean Grandpa hid something on the roof?"

Ruby's eyes did not stray, still bouncing around every corner of the roof, and her answer was crisp and

clear.

"That's right, since in the message Grandpa gave pointed straight to the ancestral shrine, it's definitely

here, and since there's nothing on the ground and there's no dark room, the only possibility is that it's

up here, look, there are a lot of beams up here."

She raised her hand and pointed upwards, "Several of these beams are wide and thick."

This ancestral shrine, built a long time ago, had not been given a renovation over the years, so the

architectural style and techniques were still of the same type as in the past, with an ancient

atmosphere.

Supporting the roof of this ancestral hall were many crisscrossing beams, each of which was not short

in width and some were even extra wide.

Levi’s eyes flickered slightly and he immediately thought of something: "You are thinking that Grandpa

could have hidden something on the beam?"

Ruby nodded: "It could be on the beams, or ...... in the beams."

This latter statement left Levi stunned, and after a split second, he reacted, pondered for a moment,

and then nodded.

"That's a possibility, these wide beams are still thick and look like a concealed compartment in

themselves, it's possible that the door to the concealed compartment is on top of the beams."

Ruby smiled, "Yes, but people who come here generally confine their gaze to the ground where their

eyes reach, and easily overlook the top, so it is possible, or rather, highly probable, that Grandfather

took this into account and hid something above or inside the beams of the room."

She spoke with confidence, her eyes firm, clearly feeling that she was right in this deduction.

Levi looked into her clear eyes, the corners of his lips curled up in an appreciative smile, his expression

dripping with pleasure.

"You are awesome that you can think of this."

Ruby blushed at his sudden compliment and raised her hand to slap him.

"You are still talking about nonsense, hurry up and think of a way to get to the beam."

Levi smiled, his shoulders shrugging, "Isn't that easy? Give me two chairs, with my height, it shouldn't

be a problem."

Seeing him being smug at every opportunity, Ruby gave him a blank look and turned around to find him

a chair.

But after looking around, there was only one chair here.

After thinking about it, she turned her head to the small table where the tripod stove was placed in front

of the tablets, and after saying in her heart, "Excuse me, ancestors", she moved the tripod stove out of

the way and moved it over.

Levi followed her and pointed to one of the thick beams, saying, "Let's look up here first."

As it turned out, there was nothing on it.

Undaunted, however, they went on to check the next one, and soon found a hidden door in the third

thick beam.

"Well? Can you open it?"

Ruby was below and could not see what was going on above, when she saw Levi’s movements stop,

she could not help but ask.

Levi shook his head and looked at the dust spread over the top of the concealed door, first taking out a

handkerchief and wiping it, then said towards the bottom, "There is a lock on the door."

At that, Ruby's brow wrinkled: "Why is there still a lock?"

She didn't remember any keys.

At this moment, as if remembering something, Levi said, "Do you still remember the small key in

Grandma's wooden box?"

Among Cara's belongings was a small key that would not open anything.

Previously Ruby was curious and thought that Grandma had accidentally mixed it in, but did not throw it

away considering the one in a million chance.

Now, Levi immediately made the connection between that key and the lock on this hidden

compartment.

Ruby quickly understood and felt her pocket, "Yeah, I still have it with me, it can't be this lock, can it?"

"Throw it to me, just try it." Levi reached towards her and caught the key she threw up.

She didn't expect this to be the right one.

The lock was so old and rusty that it was difficult to open, but when a soft "click" sounded, the lock was

finally opened.

Levi hooked his lips and smiled, raising his eyebrow at Rubyn who was below him, "Luckily you have

this key with you, otherwise we might really have to make a trip for nothing."

Ruby was a bit agitated and urged him, "Cut the crap, take it down and see what a remarkable thing

my grandfather has hidden!"

Levi did as he was told, bracing himself to look inside the dark door, his face gradually becoming

serious when he saw what was inside.

Ruby saw that he did not move and was curious and anxious: "Why don't you move? What the hell is it,

take it down."

Levi did not say anything immediately, looking at the contents and remaining silent for a few moments

before reaching out and taking it out.

It turned out that what was kept inside was a box of enormous size.

Ruby took it with some effort and placed it on the ground, glancing around this box, "What is this, and

what is the pattern on this box?"

Levi had already gotten out of his chair, his feet on the ground, while his gaze was fixed on the box with ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

a solemn expression.

"This pattern represents absolute secrecy." He suddenly spoke, his tone deeper, and after a moment's

interval, continued, "This box was used to hold weapons."

He had been in District 7 for years, and he had seen everything in the armoury, so naturally he knew

about such boxes.

When Ruby heard this, she was shocked: "You mean, what is contained in this, is a weapon?"

Levi shook his head, "Not necessarily, but it is possible, after all, Grandpa went to a lot of trouble to

hide such a thing, if he used this box to put something else, it would be a waste."

This box was made of a special material that was not afraid of water erosion or being thrown into a fire,

and would not deform in any way, regardless of high or low pressure, making it an absolutely superior

material.

Ruby looked at Levi and then lowered her eyes to this box for a few moments before she took a breath.

"Whatever is inside, just open it and find out, there is a combination on this box, it should be the same

one as the RS bank safe, I think it's all nine digits."

"Hmm." Levi nodded, "You open it."

Ruby did not refuse, squatting down and feeling over the box first, then inputting the combination lock

in order.

When she finished the ninth number, a small green light lit up on the combination lock, meaning the

box was open.
