At that moment, the mysterious figure seemed to notice something unusual outside the window. His chanting stopped abruptly, and the movement of his staff froze instantly. He slowly turned his head. Although his face was obscured by the shadow of his hood, Lin Yu and Suna could clearly sense a piercing, icy gaze piercing them like a sharp blade.
"Who's there?" The mysterious man's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from deep underground, carrying a chilling and eerie atmosphere.
Lin Yu and Su Na knew they had been discovered. They exchanged a look of determination, then pushed the door open and walked in with their heads held high. "We just happened to be passing by and saw a strange light here. Curious, we wanted to take a look. What are you doing here?" Lin Yu tried his best to sound calm, but his slightly trembling voice still betrayed his inner nervousness.
The mysterious man looked them up and down, silent for a moment, his gaze piercing their souls. Then, he sneered, his voice filled with disdain and threat: "This is none of your business. If you know what's good for you, it's best not to meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, you'll regret it, and danger could strike at any moment."
Suna took a step forward unwillingly, looked directly at the mysterious man, and said firmly: "We are not afraid of any danger. The ritual you are performing here is unspeakably weird. Is it related to what happened in the town? You'd better tell the truth." Suna's eyes were full of determination and fearlessness. She would never allow evil to grow rampant in this quiet town.
The mysterious man sneered again: "Humph, you two are ignorant of your own danger. Since you are determined to seek your own death and meddle in matters that are none of your business, don't blame me for being rude."
Before he finished speaking, the mysterious man swung his staff violently, and a black smoke surged towards Lin Yu and Suna like a surging tide. The smoke exuded a sickening stench, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to corrode, making a sizzling sound. Lin Yu reacted quickly, grabbing Suna's hand and pulling her aside. The two narrowly avoided the sudden attack. At the same time, Lin Yu quickly drew his sword, and the sword in his hand instantly burst into a dazzling light. The light was like a bright star, illuminating the entire dark and gloomy room.
A thrilling battle is about to begin. What hidden agenda does this mysterious figure harbor? Can Lin Yu and Suna, with their wits and courage, defeat this mysterious figure and uncover the myriad secrets hidden within the town? What unexpected twists and turns will their eagerly anticipated adventure encounter? Everything remains uncertain, but they stand firmly before this new challenge. A fierce battle is about to begin...
Lin Yu gripped his sword tightly, his palms wet with sweat, but his gaze remained resolute. He pondered, "This mysterious man's power is formidable. The strange magic he's unleashed proves this. We must not let our guard down. But we must not retreat. We must uncover his motives and prevent him from wreaking havoc in this small town." Suna stood nervously beside Lin Yu, her eyes fixed on the mysterious man. Though a touch uneasy, she knew that she and Lin Yu were partners in this fight, bound together by mutual support and the danger that lay ahead. "Lin Yu, I will fully cooperate with you. We will defeat him and solve this mystery," Suna whispered, her eyes revealing unwavering conviction. The mysterious man stared at them, his eyes gleaming with a fierce, sinister glint, as if plotting his next, even more deadly attack. The room was filled with a suffocating tension. A fierce battle was about to erupt, and their fate hung in the balance, like a candle flickering in the wind...
