The two approached and saw that it was a worn bronze mirror. The edges were worn, and the surface was a bit blurry, but it was covered with strange patterns. These patterns had strange shapes, like some kind of ancient text, or mysterious symbols. They seemed to have life, pulsing slightly, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura that made people feel awe.
Just as Lin Yu was about to reach for the bronze mirror, the wailing that had been lingering in the forest abruptly ceased, as if snuffed out by an invisible hand. A deathly silence descended, even more eerie than the earlier cries, as if the entire world had held its breath. Lin Yu was filled with confusion. What was the connection between this seemingly ordinary, yet eerie, bronze mirror and the eerie cries? Suna was equally bewildered. She bent down and examined the mirror carefully, trying to find some clue in the mysterious patterns that might help her unravel the mystery.
Suddenly, the bronze mirror shone brightly, its intensity like a bursting star, blinding them. Lin Yu and Suna instinctively shielded their eyes with their hands, a sense of foreboding welling up in their hearts. As the light faded, a blurry figure appeared before them. Its form was slender, its features blurred, as if shrouded in a mist, making it impossible to discern its true features. It wore an ancient, tattered robe that fluttered gently in the breeze, emitting an eerie aura, as if carrying the chill of another world.
"You shouldn't come here. This is not a place you can set foot in." The figure said coldly, his voice piercing their eardrums like an ice cone, with an indifference and majesty that kept people at a distance.
Undaunted, Lin Yu took a step forward and demanded, "Who are you? Why are you making these eerie cries and scaring innocent villagers? What's your purpose?" Lin Yu's gaze was firm and sharp as he stared at the blurry figure, unflinching. While he felt a tinge of fear at this unknown presence, he was driven by a deep commitment to the truth and a sense of responsibility towards the villagers.
The figure was silent for a moment, as if pondering its response. After a moment, it slowly spoke, "I've been trapped here for too long. The resentment in my heart burns like a raging fire, unable to dissipate. I can only vent it through crying. If you can help me untie this, I will stop disturbing the villagers and restore the tranquility of this forest." The figure's voice carried a hint of fatigue and resignation, as if recounting a long and painful experience.
Lin Yu and Suna exchanged glances, each wondering whether the figure's words were true. Would helping it bring further trouble? After all, they knew nothing about this mysterious figure, nor did they know what the restraints it spoke of were. Yet, seeing its looming, painful appearance, they felt a pang of reluctance.
"Why should we trust you? First, tell us how you ended up here. Explain the whole story, and then we'll consider helping you," Suna said, her eyes warily observing the figure, her tone laced with undeniable determination. She knew that in this situation, filled with uncertainty and danger, she couldn't easily trust any seemingly innocent words and had to keep a clear head.
The figure sighed, its voice filled with endless sorrow. It slowly began to tell its story, hidden in the darkness... What was this figure's past? Should Lin Yu and Suna help it? What would they encounter in this mysterious forest? Everything was unknown, and they had once again embarked on an adventure filled with mystery, as if being drawn by the threads of fate, towards an unknown and challenging world.
Lin Yu thought to himself, "This matter is very strange. We can't believe it easily, but we can't sit idly by and watch the plight of the villagers. We must act cautiously and find out the truth. Maybe there is a bigger conspiracy behind this, and we must proceed step by step." Suna was also thinking in her heart, "Looking at the appearance of this figure, it seems that there is really something unspeakable. But we still have to be careful not to fall into its trap. We have suffered a lot in our adventures, and we must never make mistakes again." They waited for the figure to tell the story hidden in the darkness with doubts and vigilance, their hearts full of curiosity and worry about the unknown, as if standing at the entrance of a mysterious maze, about to unveil a thrilling legend.
