"Pure power? What does this mean?" Ouyang Zhenghao asked puzzledly.
Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it is some of our own qualities, such as firm beliefs and pure hearts. Let's try to concentrate and use our inner strength to approach the sarcophagus." As Lin Yu spoke, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his heart and gather all his beliefs and strength.
Ouyang Zhenghao and Shen Yao followed suit, closing their eyes and trying to purify their hearts. Slowly, they felt a warm force surge through their bodies, and the air around them seemed to soften.
When they opened their eyes again, they were surprised to find that the blue flame had dimmed a little. Lin Yu was delighted and said, "It seems to be working. Let's continue." The three of them closed their eyes again, concentrated their minds, and released the power within.
As they continued to work, the blue flames gradually died down, and the runes around the sarcophagus stopped flickering. Lin Yu cautiously stepped forward and gently pushed the lid of the sarcophagus. The lid slowly opened, and a dazzling light shot out from within, forcing them to close their eyes.
After the light gradually dissipated, they saw a crystal ball emitting soft light in the sarcophagus. There seemed to be stars twinkling inside the crystal ball, which was beautiful and mysterious.
"Is this the sacred object?" Ouyang Zhenghao said in surprise.
Chen Yao nodded and said, "It is very likely that this crystal ball exudes a powerful and pure power, which is consistent with the characteristics of the holy objects recorded before." Chen Yao's eyes revealed relief. After going through untold hardships, they finally found something that might be a holy object.
However, just as they were about to pick up the crystal ball, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out from the room. A dark figure slowly emerged from the darkness, its form blurry, yet emanating a powerful evil force.
"Do you think that finding the holy object can lift the curse? How naive!" The shadow's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell, making people shudder.
Lin Yu quickly stepped in front of his teammates and asked, "Who are you? Why are you stopping us from lifting the curse?" Lin Yu's eyes were firm, staring at the shadow without fear. Although he was nervous at this moment, he was more determined to protect his teammates and complete the mission.
The black shadow sneered: "I am the evil will sealed here. The curse of this building was set by me, and I will not let you destroy it easily." As the black shadow spoke, his body suddenly grew larger and pounced towards them.
A fierce battle ensued. Lin Yu, Ouyang Zhenghao, and Shen Yao faced the powerful shadow without flinching. They knew this was the final battle to lift the curse, and success or failure depended on it.
Lin Yu swung his weapon and slashed at the shadow. The shadow dodged easily, then swung back, sending a dark force charging towards Lin Yu. Lin Yu quickly dodged sideways, but was still hit by the force, causing a sharp pain in his body.
Seeing this, Ouyang Zhenghao rushed towards the shadow from the side, trying to distract it. "Lin Yu, let me help you!" Ouyang Zhenghao shouted, thrusting his weapon at the shadow. The shadow suddenly vanished, reappearing behind Ouyang Zhenghao the next second and sending him flying with a kick.
Chen Yao, on the other hand, searched for the shadow's weakness. She noticed that every time the shadow attacked, a red light would flash on its chest. "Lin Yu, Ouyang, attack its chest. That might be its weak spot!" Chen Yao shouted.
Lin Yu and Ouyang Zhenghao heard Chen Yao's prompt and coordinated with each other, attacking the black shadow's chest from the left and right. The black shadow noticed their intention and tried to dodge, but Lin Yu and Ouyang Zhenghao bit it tightly, not giving it a chance to escape.
In the fierce battle, Lin Yu seized the opportunity and stabbed the black shadow's chest with his weapon. The black shadow let out a shrill scream and began to tremble. Ouyang Zhenghao took the opportunity to strike with all his strength. The black shadow's body gradually dissipated, leaving only a sinister laugh echoing in the room.
"We succeeded!" Ouyang Zhenghao shouted excitedly.
Lin Yu and Shen Yao smiled at each other, their hearts filled with joy and relief. They carefully picked up the crystal ball and, according to the instructions in the book, placed it back to its original sacrificial location in the building.
As the crystal ball returned to its place, a radiant light enveloped the entire building, seemingly sweeping away the eerie atmosphere and terrifying rumors. Outside the building, the gloomy sky gradually cleared, and sunlight streamed down upon the building, seemingly dispelling years of gloom.
The curse of Zhuhai's Sanzhuxiang Building has finally been lifted, ushering in a new lease of life for this once-dreaded, unfinished building. Having completed their mission, Lin Yu, Ouyang Zhenghao, and Shen Yao departed this building shrouded in mystery and danger, exhausted yet proud. Their adventure will become a legendary chapter in the 749 archives, inspiring others to explore the unknown and safeguard world peace and tranquility.
