"But this risk is worth taking."
"If we fail, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Lei Zhen looked at me, a hint of warning in his eyes.
"We have no choice left."
I shook my head, my tone firm.
Lei Zhen stared at me, silent for a long time.
"Take care of yourselves."
With that, Lei Zhen left the library.
"He has a point," Moyuan sighed.
"But we've come this far."
"No matter what Lei Zhen says, we can't give up."
I nodded, remaining silent.
"I will continue researching the Sealing Ritual."
Ouyang Xue looked at us, determination in her eyes.
"Let's see if we can find an alternative method for the sacrifice."
"We will investigate together."
I looked at Ouyang Xue, my tone resolute.
"There must be some clues we've overlooked."
As soon as we stepped out of the library, we felt an ominous premonition.
The academy seemed to be shrouded in an invisible shadow.
"Evil spirits..."
Moyuan's expression turned serious; he sensed something.
"They have already been awakened by us," Ouyang Xue whispered.
"Once the power of the Sacred Artifact is awakened, evil spirits will follow."
A heaviness settled in our hearts; it seemed our actions had attracted some unwanted entities.
Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the night sky.
We quickly rushed toward the source of the sound.
We ran through the corridors of the academy and arrived at an open courtyard.
There, a student was curled up in a corner, his face filled with terror.
I crouched down, trying to comfort him.
"Don't be afraid, tell us what happened?"
The student trembled and pointed ahead.
"There's something... there... it's not human!"
Moyuan and I stood up, cautiously looking in that direction.
In the moonlight, a shadowy figure was slowly approaching.
Its steps were light and ethereal, almost silent.
"Get ready," I whispered to Moyuan.
We tightened our grips on the flashlights, adjusting them to the brightest setting.
As the evil spirit drew closer, its features gradually became clearer.
It was a twisted face, with no pupils in its eyes, only endless darkness.
The evil spirit opened its mouth and let out a chilling low growl.
Ouyang Xue quickly took a talisman out of her bag.
"This is a defensive talisman; it might hold off the evil spirit for a while."
The three of us stood back to back, forming a protective circle.
The evil spirit drew closer, and we could all feel its chilling presence.
"I'll distract it; you two look for an opportunity to subdue it."
Moyuan suddenly stepped forward.
Ouyang Xue and I nodded, focusing intently on the evil spirit.
The evil spirit lunged at Moyuan, who deftly dodged out of the way.
At the same time, I aimed my flashlight directly at the spirit's face.
The evil spirit let out a piercing scream and recoiled.
Ouyang Xue seized the moment to stick a talisman onto the spirit.
It was instantly surrounded by a layer of gold, and after struggling for a moment, it dissipated into a wisp of black smoke.
We three let out a sigh of relief, but the tension in our hearts had not completely faded.
This was just the beginning; with the use of the Sacred Artifact's power, more evil spirits would appear in the academy.
We had to hurry; otherwise, we might not be so lucky next time.
We continued to patrol the academy, remaining vigilant for any potential appearances of evil spirits.
We returned to a secluded corner of the library, sitting together to discuss our next course of action.
We realized that the appearance of the evil spirits meant our actions had drawn the attention of the Underworld.
"We can't give up; clues about the Sacred Artifact are right in front of us," Moyuan said firmly.
"But we need to find a way to balance protecting the academy while searching for the Sacred Artifact," Ouyang Xue's words left us deep in thought.
"Perhaps we can seek help from others," I suggested, looking at them.
