Uncovering the Mystery of Pan Bowen's Disappearance in Tianjin (Final Chapter)
When Lin Yu and the others successfully returned to the basement from the illusion, the feeling of returning to reality from the extreme illusion left them somewhat dazed. The familiar, old atmosphere and dim light in the basement now seemed remarkably real and welcoming, like a warm haven after a nightmare. However, they knew that the battle with the mysterious force was not yet over. The final key to solving the mystery of Pan Bowen's disappearance might lie hidden in this seemingly ordinary basement.
Lin Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm his still-pounding heart. His mind quickly reviewed the various clues in the illusion: the mysterious man's rituals, the forbidden secrets, and the image of Pan Bowen trapped. "We're back, but there are still many questions left to answer," Lin Yu said, his voice echoing in the basement, a touch of fatigue yet full of determination.
Ouyang Zhenghao looked at Pan Bowen who had reappeared in the basement, feeling both relieved and emotional. "Yes, at least Pan Bowen was brought back, but why those mysterious people did this is still a mystery." Ouyang Zhenghao scratched his head, puzzled.
Chen Yao pushed up her glasses, her eyes gleaming with thought. "From the clues in the illusion, it all revolves around a 'forbidden secret.' Pan Bowen's disappearance must have been due to touching this secret. But what exactly this secret is requires further deduction." Chen Yao squatted down and carefully examined the mysterious symbols on the ground and walls again, trying to find new clues.
Lin Yu walked over to Pan Bowen. Pan Bowen's condition had improved considerably, but a hint of confusion and fear still lingered in his eyes. "Pan Bowen, think carefully. Did you notice anything special before you disappeared? Any small detail could be crucial," Lin Yu asked softly, his gaze gentle and focused, trying to guide Pan Bowen to recall any important information he might have overlooked.
Pan Bowen frowned, trying to recall. "I remember that day, when I was looking for the ball in the basement, I seemed to see a strange light coming from a corner. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, that light seems a little... a little strange, indescribable." Pan Bowen's voice trembled slightly, and he was clearly still haunted by the memory.
Lin Yu's heart moved, and he exchanged a glance with Chen Yao. "It seems that light is an important clue. We've searched the basement before, but we might have overlooked that corner." Lin Yu said, his eyes revealing a hint of excitement, as if he saw the dawn of solving the mystery.
The three of them, along with Pan Bowen, searched the basement again. A tense atmosphere permeated the air, and their footsteps were remarkably clear in the silence. Finally, in a corner filled with old debris, they found a seemingly ordinary stone. The surface was a bit rough, but when Lin Yu picked it up, he felt a strange energy emanating from his palm, as if the stone had life.
"This stone...something's a little off." Lin Yu frowned and handed the stone to Chen Yao. Chen Yao took the stone and examined it carefully, discovering some extremely subtle lines on the stone that seemed to bear some resemblance to the symbols she had seen before. "These lines may be the key to unlocking the taboo secret," Chen Yao said, her eyes filled with anticipation.
At that moment, flickering shadows suddenly appeared on the basement walls, interweaving to form a series of images. Within these images, they witnessed the school's history: it was once the stronghold of an ancient organization, guarding a forbidden secret concerning time and space. Pan Bowen stumbled upon clues hidden in the basement, triggering a mysterious figure's device and drawing him into a tangle of memory and reality.
"So, all this is to protect this forbidden secret, and Pan Bowen was just innocently involved?" Ouyang Zhenghao said in surprise.
Lin Yu nodded: "It seems so, but this secret is so important that the mysterious man is willing to use such terrifying power to protect it. What is it?" Lin Yu's heart was full of doubts. This forbidden secret was like a black hole, attracting him to keep exploring.
As the visuals unfold, they glimpse fragments of this forbidden secret. It turns out the secret is linked to a mysterious power capable of warping time and space and reshaping memories. If this power were to fall into the hands of someone with ill intentions, it would bring devastating disaster upon the world. A mysterious figure has been guarding this secret to prevent its disclosure.
"So they made Pan Bowen disappear to prevent the secret from being leaked?" Chen Yao said, feeling both understanding and anger at the mysterious man's actions. She understood their original intention to protect the world, but was angry at their extreme treatment of Pan Bowen.
At that moment, the light and shadow suddenly disappeared, and the basement fell into darkness again. Then, a low roar sounded, as if the entire basement was shaking. "Oh no! Something seems to be coming!" Lin Yu shouted loudly, quickly gripping his weapon and looking around vigilantly.
Several figures loomed in the darkness. They were the same mysterious figures in black robes and hoods seen in the illusion. Their figures loomed in the darkness, like messengers from hell. "You shouldn't have returned, and you shouldn't have revealed this secret," one of the mysterious figures said coldly, his voice devoid of emotion.
Lin Yu looked at the mysterious man without fear: "What you did is wrong. You can't hurt others just because you want to protect a secret. Moreover, now that we have come this far, we will not back down." Lin Yu's eyes were firm, and his heart was filled with the power of justice.
