The multicolored light clashed fiercely with the black tide, a scene reminiscent of the ultimate showdown between light and darkness. Instantly, the entire factory trembled violently, as if struck by a powerful earthquake. Bricks in the walls loosened and fell away, crackling like the prelude to the end of the world. Debris rained down, sending up clouds of dust as it struck the ground. Under the powerful impact of the light, a brief break finally appeared in the black tide, like a crack in the dark sky, revealing a glimmer of hope.
Xiao Zhao seized this golden opportunity and charged at the circle like a bullet. The occult enthusiast, sensing Xiao Zhao's intention, instantly turned grim and desperately tried to stop him. However, he was now tightly restrained by the multicolored light, unable to spare any attention. He could only watch helplessly as Xiao Zhao inch closer, his heart filled with anger and fear. Finally reaching the circle, Xiao Zhao raised his weapon high, channeling all his strength into it. He roared loudly, "Break it!" With that roar, the weapon, fueled by his conviction and power, slashed fiercely at the circle. With a crack, a massive crack appeared in the circle, and light flickered like a dying candle.
Seeing this, the occult enthusiast's face turned pale, despair and anger intertwined in his eyes. "No! You bastards, how dare you destroy my magic circle! You all must die!" Like a wounded beast, he desperately tried to repair the magic circle, temporarily abandoning his attack on the others. As he lost control, the black wave gradually dissipated, and Lin Yu and the others took the opportunity to rush forward like a tiger descending from a mountain.
Lin Yu glared at the occult enthusiast, his eyes burning with righteous anger, and shouted: "Your crazy behavior stops here! Do you think you can do whatever you want with this evil power? Come back to Bureau 749 with us and accept the punishment you deserve!" The occult enthusiast suddenly laughed wildly, his laughter was full of twisted desires and endless despair: "You think you can stop me by destroying the magic circle? You are so naive! The power of the sarcophagus is endless. Even if I die, I will drag you to be buried with me!" After that, he smashed the crystal ball in his hand to the ground like a madman.
The moment the crystal ball shattered, it was as if the gates of hell had been opened. A force even more powerful and sinister surged from the ground like a volcanic eruption. The entire factory began to shake violently, as if it were about to be completely destroyed by this force. The shadowy figure of a sarcophagus slowly emerged in the center of the workshop. The lid slowly opened with a chilling creaking sound, and the evil aura emanating from it spread like a tangible substance, almost suffocating everyone. That aura seemed to carry endless resentment and hatred, like countless invisible hands, tightly strangling everyone's throats.
"Oh no! He's going to release all the power of the sarcophagus! Once this power is fully released, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Professor Li shouted in horror, his voice filled with unprecedented panic.
In this critical moment, Lin Yu quickly forced himself to calm down, his mind racing. Suddenly, he remembered Professor Li's earlier research on the sarcophagus, which mentioned a delicate and complex balance between the symbols on it. If they could find the key symbols and restore the balance in a specific order, perhaps they could prevent the complete release of the sarcophagus's power. "Professor Li, do you remember the balance of the symbols on the sarcophagus? Can we use this to stop it?" Lin Yu asked eagerly, his eyes filled with anticipation and anxiety.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Professor Li's eyes, as if he had seen a ray of light in the darkness. "I remember! Perhaps we can give it a try! But time is running out, and we must race against time!" He quickly pulled out a portable rune analyzer from his backpack. This was his go-to tool for studying supernatural runes. With his hands trembling slightly, he aimed the analyzer at the eerily glowing symbols on the phantom sarcophagus, scanning and analyzing them.
At this moment, the evil force surged like a surging tide, battering the defenses. The factory walls began to crumble under the force, and huge rocks fell like cannonballs, sending up clouds of dust as they struck the ground. Old Chen and Little Zhao stood by, fending off the frenzied onslaught of the evil force. Their figures seemed so small against the onslaught, yet so resolute. Each blow they resisted was accompanied by immense force, inflicting unimaginable pain on their bodies. But they gritted their teeth, relying on their tenacious will to hold their ground, buying Professor Li precious time.
Professor Li stared intently at the data ticking away on the parser, his forehead beaded with sweat, beads of it dripping down his cheeks and onto the parser. His hands trembled slightly with nervousness and exhaustion, but his gaze remained firmly fixed on the parser. Finally, after a tense and arduous analysis, he located the key symbol. "Lin Yu, I've found the solution! We need to attack these symbols in a specific order to restore balance! This is our last chance!" Professor Li shouted, his voice slightly hoarse with excitement and exhaustion.
Without hesitation, Lin Yu and Professor Li rushed towards the phantom sarcophagus like a gust of wind. Following Professor Li's instructions, they attacked the key symbols on the phantom sarcophagus one by one. With each symbol attacked, the malevolent power emanating from the sarcophagus weakened, like the receding tide. Seeing this, the occult enthusiast's eyes flashed with fear and resentment, and he made a final effort to stop them. He desperately rushed towards Lin Yu and Professor Li, but was blocked by Old Chen and Xiao Zhao like an iron wall. "Don't try to ruin my plan! I won't let you succeed!" The occult enthusiast attacked Old Chen and Xiao Zhao frantically, his eyes filled with madness and desperation, each blow carrying a desperate determination. But Old Chen and Xiao Zhao did not retreat. With their tenacious will and years of combat experience, they repeatedly repelled the occult enthusiast's attacks and held their ground.
