The battle to break the deadlock, the truth emerges
Lin Yu was acutely aware of the murderous intent coming from behind him. The monster's claws grabbed at him with lightning speed, and the sharp claws seemed to be able to easily tear through the air. In this life-or-death moment, his heart seemed to stop, and all the blood in his body rushed to his forehead. Without time to think, he used all his strength to suddenly lunge forward, and his body slid a distance along the ground like a bullet. The rough ground rubbed against his skin, and the burning pain came instantly, but he had no time to care at the moment. The monster's claws whizzed past his back, and the sharp claws were like a cold dagger, tearing his clothes, and a bright red blood mark appeared instantly. Blood gushed out, staining his back red.
Lin Yu ignored the piercing pain and quickly stood up with a somersault. His eyes were fixed on the mysterious device emitting an eerie blue light. He rushed forward without hesitation, holding it tightly with both hands like pliers. He had only one firm thought in his mind: "I must destroy this device. This is the only hope to end this nightmare!"
However, the monster trapped in the narrow cave refused to give up. Its massive body struggled within the cave, its angry roars shaking the entire cavern. Each roar seemed to burst from the depths of its twisted soul, filled with endless resentment and unwillingness. It began to pound the cave walls frantically, the immense force causing rocks to rain down from the ceiling. For a moment, dust and debris flew through the cave, and the entire space was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Lin Yu dodged and dodged amidst the swirling rocks, his heart aching with anxiety. While dodging the impending downpour, he stared intently at the intricate and mysterious runes on the device, his mind racing: "How do I destroy this device? There must be a way! I can't die here, I must find the key!" Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to one of the runes. This one flickered at a distinctly different frequency than the others, its light sometimes intense, sometimes faint, as if transmitting some mysterious signal. Lin Yu tried to recall records of similar runes in the 749th Bureau's records, vaguely suspecting that this might be the key to destroying the device.
"That's it!" Lin Yu gritted his teeth, a flicker of determination in his eyes. He concentrated all his energy, his hands trembling slightly as he aimed the tip of the device at the shimmering rune, then thrust it with all his might. The rune, struck by the sudden impact, suddenly shone brightly, its intensity almost blinding. At the same time, the device emitted a strange humming sound, sharp and piercing, like a wail of pain, a final struggle.
The monster seemed to sense the danger and became even more frantic. It recklessly rammed the cave wall, causing it to crumble under its impact, and more and larger rocks fell from the cave ceiling. Lin Yu struggled to hold on in this chaotic situation, dodging the rocks that could be fatal at any moment, while shouting encouragement to himself: "Hold on, it will be over soon! Never give up, you must succeed!"
As the rune's light continued to flicker, a tiny crack finally appeared on the device's surface. Though minute, it seemed to Lin Yu like the dawn of victory. Seeing this, a new surge of strength surged within him, and he thrust the tip of the device deep into the rune again. With a crisp "click," the device finally cracked, and an unimaginably powerful energy erupted. The light, like a miniature sun, filled the entire cave, engulfing everything in a dazzling white glow.
Lin Yu was enveloped by the sudden light, his head spinning as his consciousness gradually faded. At the edge of his consciousness, he seemed to see dreamlike images flash before his eyes: years ago, the worker who fell off the cliff, his death filled with fear and resentment, his soul trapped in this land filled with resentment. And his wife, after a long and fruitless search for him, finally committed suicide in despair and grief. The deep resentment between them was like a magnet, attracting a dark force. This dark force interacted with an ancient seal accidentally triggered during highway construction, resulting in this mysterious device. Like a greedy demon, this device continuously absorbs the energy of nearby life, causing a series of horrifying and bizarre events.
The light gradually faded, and Lin Yu slowly awoke. He discovered the monster had vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared. The cave had returned to peace, the previous chaos seemingly a nightmare. No more rocks fell from the ceiling, and the thick dust slowly settled. Everything returned to calm. He staggered to his feet and, exhausted, walked out of the cave.
As he emerged from the cave, he saw the cracks in the road healing at a visible pace, as if the earth were repairing itself. The terrifying black smoke had completely dissipated, and the acrid odor that had filled the air gradually faded, replaced by the fresh mountain air. Sunlight filtered through the clouds, illuminating the road, as if dispelling the last traces of the haze.
Lin Yu trudged back to the village. Seeing him safely home, the villagers gathered around him. Their eyes were filled with concern and curiosity. Lin Yu took a deep breath and told the villagers the entire investigation into the incident. As they listened, their expressions shifted from shock to emotion. They had never imagined that this dead-end road held such a complex and tragic story.
Lin Yu knows that although the crisis has been temporarily resolved, there may be more unknown mysteries in this world waiting for him to explore. Behind this seemingly peaceful world, there are countless unknown dangers and mysteries.
After this, the dead-end road in Huangquan Village finally returned to its former tranquility, and those terrifying and bizarre incidents never occurred again. The shadow of fear that once shrouded the villagers' hearts gradually dissipated. Children played and laughed along the roadside, and adults returned to their usual work. Everything returned to normal.
Lin Yu also bid farewell to Huangquan Village and returned to Bureau 749. He knew that in this vast world, countless mysteries, like stars hidden in the darkness, awaited his unraveling. Protecting world peace was his eternal mission and a deep-seated conviction. With this mission and conviction, he would continue to dedicate himself to investigative missions filled with unknowns. No matter what lay ahead, he would forge ahead fearlessly.
