Under the moonlight, Lin Yu and his companions raced down the mountain, the footsteps of the evil organization members fading behind them. Yet, they dared not relax for a moment. The mountain path was steep and shrouded in darkness, each step fraught with danger. Officer Li's injured arm throbbed painfully from the exertion, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and pressed on with the group.
Suddenly, the officer in front let out a startled cry and stumbled forward. Lin Yu quickly shone his flashlight ahead, revealing a thick vine sprawled across the ground as if deliberately placed there. The group carefully navigated around the vine and continued on their way, but soon encountered another obstacle—a rushing stream lay ahead, its waters shimmering under the moonlight, the sound of the current drowning out any other noise.
"What do we do? The water looks fierce," one officer said, concern etched on his face. Lin Yu scanned the area and noticed several fallen trees by the stream. A thought struck him: "Let’s work together to push these trees into the water and make a makeshift bridge." The group sprang into action, and after some effort, a crooked wooden bridge spanned the stream.
As they cautiously crossed, they heard footsteps behind them once more. Members of the evil organization were pursuing them recklessly. Lin Yu felt a tightening in his chest and urged everyone to hurry. Just as the last officer stepped onto solid ground, the wooden bridge collapsed under the force of the rushing water, temporarily halting their pursuers.
Having escaped immediate danger, they pressed on toward the town. After what felt like an eternity, they finally caught sight of its familiar outline. The sky was beginning to lighten at the horizon; a new day was dawning. However, upon entering the town, they were met with an unsettling silence. Normally bustling at this hour, every house had its doors and windows tightly shut, with no sign of smoke rising from chimneys.
Lin Yu and his fellow officers approached the police station with confusion. Inside was just as desolate, with only a handful of officers on duty. Upon seeing Lin Yu and his team, their expressions shifted to shock as if witnessing something unbelievable. "You... you finally returned," one officer stammered.
Sensing something was amiss, Lin Yu quickly asked, "What happened? Why is the town like this?"
The officer sighed heavily before explaining, "Ever since you went into the mountains, strange rumors began circulating in town about a mysterious force that would bring disaster upon us. At first, people were skeptical, but then reports of bizarre occurrences started surfacing—like red lights flickering in the night sky and tremors coming from underground. The residents were terrified and have been hiding in their homes."
Lin Yu exchanged a glance with Officer Li, an ominous premonition rising within them. They understood that all of this was likely connected to that ancient text and its mysterious power. Carefully, Lin Yu took out the ancient book again, preparing to study its contents for solutions to their crisis. Just then, the phone at the station rang abruptly. Officer Li quickly answered it. A terrified voice came through: "Help us! The abandoned factory on the outskirts is on fire! And it seems like... something is moving inside!"
Lin Yu's grip tightened around the steering wheel as he activated the sirens of their police car, shattering the morning calm of the town. In the rearview mirror, Officer Li was hastily bandaging his arm with gauze while that ancient book lay quietly on the back seat—seemingly alive and waiting for awakening.
