Sylvia's POV:
After a little while, Flora and I landed in a strange place where we couldn't see anything.
I touched the ground. My fingers grazed something soft, like a wool carpet.
"I think we are in a room," I speculated.
A rustling sound came from beside me. I sensed that Flora had got to her feet. "Wait a minute. I'll find something to illuminate this place."
Her statement was followed by a series of noises.
"There are several glass bottles here," she said in a surprised voice.
I also hauled myself off the floor and fumbled my way toward Flora.
All of a sudden, the room was flooded with light. Both Flora and I were astonished.
"How... how did the lights suddenly come on? What switch did you touch?" I shot Flora a confused glance.
Holding a glass bottles in each hand, Flora looked baffled. "I didn't touch any switch. Maybe the lights got activated by voice control?"
"Forget it. Let's figure out how to get out of here first." I went to stand beside Flora and began picking the bottles and jars up one by one to check them out. They were filled with a colorful liquid, and a few of them had animal limbs soaking in them.
"I believe we have accidentally entered Noreen's lab." I studied the whole room carefully. It looked bigger than the illusion I had seen before. A variety of books and drawings were piled up on the ground, and countless rare treasures were present.
"Sylvia, come here. I've found a big book."
The book Flora had discovered was huge and shabby. I tried to move it, but it seemed to be nailed to the ground. I was unable to make it budge even an inch.
We would have to flip through it while standing there.
I had initially assumed that it was just an ordinary book, but I hadn't expected to stumble across information about the curses that had been cast on Rufus and Blair.
I followed the instructions in the book, which led me to a potted plant.
