As the crystal device exploded, the black-robed men stopped moving instantly, collapsing to the ground unconscious.
"We did it! We defeated the man in black!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly.
"We can't relax yet. We need to quickly look through the ancient books and find a way to break the temple's curse," Conan said.
The group entered the ancient building, which was dark and damp, filled with an old, worn atmosphere. Deep inside, they found a huge stone platform covered with characters and patterns similar to those found in ancient books.
Ai Haibara carefully perused the ancient books again, and combined them with the information on the stone platform, finally deciphering the specific steps to break the temple's curse.
“We need to place the crystal we found at the bottom of the lake in the center of the stone platform at a specific time, and then activate the runes on the stone platform in a certain order. This will break the curse on the temple,” Ai Haibara said.
Conan checked the time; there was less than an hour left until the designated time. "We need to hurry up and prepare; we can't let all our previous efforts go to waste."
Following Ai Haibara's instructions, everyone quickly cleared away the debris around the stone platform, ensuring everything was ready. As time passed, the appointed time finally arrived.
Conan carefully placed the crystal in the center of the stone platform. The moment it touched the platform, it emitted a soft glow.

One by one, the runes lit up, the light growing stronger until the entire building was enveloped in radiance.
Suddenly, a strong tremor struck, and the building began to shake. "Everyone hold on, the curse might be being lifted!" Conan shouted.
As the light reached its peak, a loud bang was heard, and then the tremors ceased. The crystal light on the stone platform gradually faded, and the temple's curse seemed to have been successfully lifted.
"We did it! We successfully broke the temple's curse!" Ran Mouri exclaimed excitedly.
However, Conan knew things might not be so simple. Just then, a tremendous roar came from outside the building, as if something terrifying was awakening… What new crisis will Conan and his friends face this time? Will they be able to completely resolve the hidden dangers of this mysterious forest and ancient temple? Everything remains to be seen…
