Secret Revealed
That strange sound echoed through the room, sharp and mournful, like the anguished cries of countless wronged souls. The sound waves bounced off the walls, assaulting everyone's eardrums and making their hearts tremble. Each note was like a sharp needle, piercing deep into their souls, bringing endless fear and unease.
"What the hell is that sound?" a team member cried in terror, his voice distorted by extreme fear. His eyes were wide and bloodshot, and his body was shaking uncontrollably, as if he would collapse to the ground at any moment. "This sound is horrible, I can't stand it!" His heart was filled with despair, as if he could already see the shadow of death approaching them.
The strange man, however, remained calm, as if he had long been accustomed to all this. His expression was cold and numb, as if the terrifying sound was just insignificant background music to him. His eyes were expressionless, as if he had seen through all the horror and evil in the world.
Lin Yu feigned composure. Although he was also filled with fear, he knew that as the backbone of the group, he could not show the slightest bit of weakness. "First, find the source of the sound." His voice was firm, but there was also a subtle tremor. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his heartbeat. Holding the worn flashlight tightly in his hand, he walked cautiously towards the direction of the sound. "Everyone, be careful. Follow me." Every step he took was filled with caution, fearing to alert the unknown terror hidden in the darkness.
Everyone began to search the room cautiously, their nerves tense to the bone. Their footsteps were remarkably clear in the silence, like a countdown to death. The room was filled with a stale, decaying atmosphere that made it difficult to breathe. Water droplets from the wall dripped onto the floor, making a crisp sound that seemed particularly eerie in the tense atmosphere.
At this moment, Suna discovered a huge iron box hidden in a corner. The surface of the iron box was covered with rust and scratches, as if it had been corroded by countless years. It exuded a pungent smell that made people feel nauseous and dizzy.
"The sound seems to be coming from inside," Suna said tremblingly, her voice filled with fear and anxiety. Her eyes were fixed on the iron box, as if it contained the most terrifying thing in the world. "Should we really open it?" She was filled with hesitation and fear, but also with curiosity, wanting to know what secrets were hidden inside.
Old Chen stepped forward, his face solemn, his eyes revealing a hint of determination. "Open it and take a look." His voice was deep and powerful, as if he was prepared to face any horror. "No matter what's inside, we must face it bravely." He took a deep breath and reached out to grasp the lid of the iron box.
As they slowly opened the iron box, a pungent odor, like a mixture of rotting corpses and chemicals, hit them hard, nearly suffocating them. Inside were ancient documents and strange biological specimens. The documents were yellowed, the writing blurred, as if telling of a forgotten history. The biological specimens were twisted and misshapen, giving people a chill.
Just when everyone was puzzled, the weirdo spoke.
"This is the ancient secret of that forest," the strange man said, his voice remarkably clear in the silent room. "Long ago, this forest was cursed by an evil wizard. A powerful and mysterious force hides within. Anyone who enters the forest without sufficient courage and wisdom will be devoured by this power." His eyes revealed a hint of mystery and fear, as if recalling a terrible history.
"So, are all the dangers we've encountered due to this curse?" Lin Yu asked, his gaze fixed on the strange man, trying to find a flaw in his expression. His heart was filled with confusion and anger, wondering why they had to endure such suffering for no reason. "Why are we being made to go through this?" His voice was filled with questioning, anger at the injustice of fate.
The weirdo nodded, "And the fact that you were able to come out alive has attracted the attention of the mysterious organization that guards this power. They want to use you to find a way to control this power." There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in his voice, as if he was also a chess piece manipulated by fate.
"What?" Everyone was stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief and fear. "How could this happen? We simply intruded!" one team member angrily exclaimed, his voice filled with resistance to the injustice of his fate. "Why do you treat us like this?" He clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly with anger.
"This is abominable! What do we do now?" one team member angrily exclaimed, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness. "How can we possibly defeat a mysterious organization? This is simply unbelievable!" His voice echoed in the room, filled with fear and confusion about the future.
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, his mind racing, trying to find a solution. "Now that we know the truth, we can't let them succeed." His voice was firm and powerful, his eyes revealing a hint of determination. "We must find a way to stop them and protect this forest and ourselves." His heart was filled with a sense of responsibility and courage. Although he knew the road ahead was full of difficulties and obstacles, he was ready to face the challenge.
"But how can we fight this mysterious organization?" Suna asked worriedly, her voice thick with fear and unease. She scanned the crowd, hoping for a glimmer of comfort and hope. "We're just ordinary people. How can we possibly stand against them?" She was filled with self-doubt and fear, feeling as if she were trapped in an inescapable nightmare.
At that moment, the lights in the room suddenly went out, and darkness instantly swallowed them. Fear surged into their hearts like a tide, making it impossible to breathe. In this endless darkness, a sinister laugh echoed...
