However, just when they thought everything was over, Chen Yao suddenly pointed to a line of words that appeared on the wall and said, "Look at this." The words read, "Everything is illusory. Memories can be reshaped. If you want to recover, you must enter the illusion and seek the truth."
Lin Yu frowned and fell into deep thought: "What does this mean? Haven't we found the real answer yet? The so-called entering the illusion to seek the truth, does it mean that we have to enter some kind of illusion and find a way to restore Pan Bowen's existence? But where is this illusion? And how do we enter it? All of this is like an intricate puzzle. Every time we solve a layer, more mysteries appear."
Ouyang Zhenghao was puzzled: "But where is this illusion? How do we enter? It feels like we have just escaped from a wolf's den and entered a tiger's den. The mystery is getting deeper and deeper, and I really don't know when it will end." His face was full of fatigue and confusion. The continuous thrilling encounters made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.
Chen Yao pushed her glasses and said, "Maybe it has a deeper connection with this basement and the previous symbols. We have to sort out the clues again and find a way to enter the illusion to completely solve the mystery of Pan Bowen's disappearance. This may be the core of the whole incident. We can't give up." Chen Yao's eyes revealed determination. As a researcher who has in-depth research on mysterious phenomena, she has a strong desire to solve the mystery.
As they discussed this, a sudden flash of light appeared in the basement, and a mysterious passageway appeared before them. The passageway was filled with a soft yet mysterious light, as if beckoning them in. This light seemed warm, yet vaguely unsettling. Strange runes shimmered around the passageway, constantly shifting in shape, as if speaking an ancient, mystical language.
Lin Yu looked at the passage, filled with hesitation. "This passage looks dangerous. We don't know what awaits us inside. But if we want to solve the mystery and restore Pan Bowen's existence, we seem to have no other choice." Lin Yu knew that stepping into this passage might mean greater danger, but he couldn't just watch the mystery remain unsolved forever.
Ouyang Zhenghao took a deep breath and said, "Lin Yu, I will go with you. We have come this far and cannot give up halfway. No matter what is inside, we must uncover the truth behind it." His fighting spirit was rekindled in his eyes. Although he was still afraid in his heart, his persistent pursuit of the truth gave him courage.
Chen Yao nodded in agreement: "Yes, this may be our only chance. If we are careful and cautious, we will definitely find the answer."
The three of them exchanged a glance, offering encouragement and trust, before stepping into the passage. The light within grew stronger, gradually engulfing their figures. As it faded slightly, they found themselves in a strange space. Surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, it felt like a dream. Beneath them lay a void, a feeling of immensity, a sense of immensity. From time to time, strange lights flickered through the mist, like mysterious stars twinkling in the darkness. These lights converged, then dispersed, as if performing a silent, mysterious dance.
"What is this place? It feels so strange." Ouyang Zhenghao said cautiously, looking around. His voice echoed in the empty space, but it didn't stir a single ripple, as if it had been instantly swallowed up by the strange environment. His heart was filled with fear, not knowing what dangers were hidden in this seemingly peaceful mist.
Lin Yu carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find some familiar elements or clues: "I don't know, but since we are here, it means we are going in the right direction. Everyone pay attention to the surroundings and see if there is anything unusual. Maybe in this seemingly illusory space, there are key clues to solving the mystery." Lin Yu tried to keep himself calm. He knew that in this unknown environment, panic would only make the situation worse.
At this moment, some images faintly appeared in the mist. The picture showed a school scene, Xiao Zhou and Pan Bowen were playing around during class, and everything seemed so real. Their smiles, movements, and even the laughter of their classmates around them made them feel as if they were there. Lin Yu's heart moved: "This may be a fragment of Pan Bowen's memory before he disappeared. Perhaps by following these memories, we can find the truth. But why did these memories appear here? How is this related to Pan Bowen's disappearance?"
The three followed the screen's instructions, moving forward through the mist. Suddenly, the scene shifted, revealing Pan Bowen walking alone into the basement. As he entered, a strange light flashed, and Pan Bowen vanished. Then, a group of strange figures appeared on the screen. They wore black robes and hoods, their faces completely obscured. They surrounded a glowing crystal ball, seemingly performing some mysterious ritual. Their voices were deep and eerie, as if from another world.
"Who are these people? Why did they make Pan Bowen disappear?" Chen Yao asked doubtfully. Her heart was filled with curiosity and fear. The appearance of these mysterious people made the whole incident even more confusing.
Lin Yu stared at the screen and said, "It seems that all this was done intentionally by someone. These mysterious people used the power of the crystal ball to cause Pan Bowen's disappearance and erase his memory. But what is their purpose? Is it to protect a secret, or is there some other ulterior conspiracy?" Lin Yu's eyes revealed determination, and he was determined to uncover the truth behind it.
As the scene progresses, they see the mysterious man complete the ritual and leave behind a message: "In order to protect the forbidden secret, all memories will be reshaped."
