Chen Yao's heart tightened when she heard Lin Yu's cry. She knew there was no time to rethink her solution. She gritted her teeth and decided to take a chance. She placed her palm on the fourth symbol, praying silently. Suddenly, the symbol emitted a powerful light, instantly enveloping the entire passage. A figure in the light let out a shrill scream and began to tremble violently.
Lin Yu and Ouyang Zhenghao watched in amazement, unsure of what was happening. Chen Yao was also enveloped by the light, and she could feel a powerful force surging around her. "Could it be... could it be that the crack was successful?" Chen Yao was filled with confusion and surprise.
The light gradually dissipated, and the figure's body began to become transparent, eventually disappearing into the air. Calmness returned to the passage, and the eerie atmosphere gradually dissipated. Lin Yu and Ouyang Zhenghao breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to Chen Yao.
"Chen Yao, you are so amazing! How did you do it?" Ouyang Zhenghao exclaimed in admiration, with a look of joy on his face after surviving a disaster.
Chen Yao smiled slightly and said, "I'm not sure either. The situation was urgent at the time, so I had to take a risk. I didn't expect it to be successful." There was a hint of fatigue in Chen Yao's smile. The cracking process just now had exhausted her energy.
Lin Yu looked at Chen Yao and said, "No matter what, we succeeded. But this is only the first step. We still have to figure out the secret behind this building and the source of the ancient curse." Lin Yu's eyes revealed determination. He knew that their mission was far from over.
The three continued to explore the passage and found a closed door at the end. The door was engraved with symbols similar to those on the wall, but these symbols were more complex and exuded a powerful mysterious power.
"I wonder what secrets are hidden behind this door." Ouyang Zhenghao said, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and said, "No matter what's behind it, we have to go in and take a look. Maybe the answer is behind the door." Lin Yu walked forward and tried to push the door open, but the door did not move.
Chen Yao carefully observed the symbols on the door and said, "These symbols seem to be a combination lock. The symbols need to be activated in a specific order to open the door." Chen Yao's eyes revealed a thoughtful look. She began to recall the process of cracking the symbols on the wall just now, trying to find a way to open the door.
After some thought, Chen Yao finally found a way to open the door. She touched the symbols on the door in a specific order, and they lit up one by one. As the last symbol lit up, the door slowly opened, and a pungent smell hit them in the face, forcing them to cover their mouths and noses.
Behind the door was a huge room filled with all sorts of strange instruments and devices, and the walls were covered with mysterious patterns and text. In the center of the room, there was a huge stone platform, on which sat an ancient book.
"What is this place? What are these things used for?" Ouyang Zhenghao said in surprise.
Lin Yu said nothing. He walked cautiously toward the stone platform. As he approached the platform, he noticed that the text on the book was somewhat similar to the symbols on the wall. Lin Yu gently opened the book and found that it recorded the history of the building's construction and an ancient legend.
The building was once built on a sacred site used by an ancient tribe. During construction, workers inadvertently broke the seal of the tribal ritual, unleashing a sinister force. This force possessed some of the workers, leading to numerous accidents and rumors of hauntings during the construction period. The terrifying figure was none other than the spirit of a worker possessed by the evil force.
"It seems we have finally found the truth." Lin Yu said, handing the book to Chen Yao and Ouyang Zhenghao.
After reading the book, Chen Yao and Ouyang Zhenghao were filled with emotion. "So how can we completely lift this curse and restore peace to this building?" Chen Yao asked.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu said, "The book says that we have to find the sacred object used in tribal sacrifices, put it back to its original place, and re-seal the evil forces in order to completely lift the curse. But the book doesn't record where the sacred object is." Lin Yu's eyes revealed a hint of worry, wondering what difficulties he would encounter in the process of searching for the sacred object.
The three decided to continue searching for the holy relic in the building. They didn't know what was waiting for them, but they were full of firm belief in their determination to completely lift the curse of the building and restore peace here. In this mysterious and dangerous building, their adventure continues...
