Liu Minhung was writing a patrol report when he saw Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui hurrying over. He immediately put down his pen.
"What's the matter? You seem in a hurry," Liu Minhung asked.
Lin Xinhui handed the ball to him. " security Liu, have you seen this before? Or do you know where this ball came from?"
Liu Minhung took the ball, looked around, and then carefully examined it, showing a puzzled expression.
"To be honest, I have never seen a ball like this before, and these patterns... they don't look like any language or symbols I've ever seen."
"So what do you think we should do?" Chen Hanlin asked eagerly.
Liu Minhung quietly placed the ball back into their hands. "I don't know about this, but if it were me, I would quickly find out the source of this ball, and it's best to do it soon."
Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui felt a chill run down their spines, realizing that this ball might not be as simple as it seemed.
They thanked Liu Minhung and hurried back to the sixth floor of the apartment, entering their home. The atmosphere behind the door was evidently heavier than the hallway outside, as if the apartment was a black hole of energy, drawing in all the surrounding darkness.
"Where should we put it?" Chen Hanlin's gaze swept across the living room, hesitating.
"Let's put it in the living room for now, but we need to find a container to hold it. Who knows if this thing will have any problems," Lin Xinhui's eyes couldn't leave the ball, and she had a foreboding feeling in her heart.
Chen Hanlin found a transparent glass jar, carefully placed the ball inside, and then placed the glass jar on the bottom shelf of the living room bookcase.
"Do you think Xiao Mei will react to this ball?" Lin Xinhui couldn't help but ask.
"No matter how she views it, we need to keep her away from it." Chen Hanlin paused for a moment and added, "Let's not tell her for now, to prevent her curiosity from getting the better of her and wanting to grab this ball."
In the following days, the two of them were busy with work and taking care of Xiao Mei, seemingly forgetting about the unsettling leather ball.
But whenever the night fell, the corner of the living room always seemed to have a chilling atmosphere.
One night, Xiao Mei secretly came to the living room, and that glass jar caught her attention. She carefully tried to open the jar and take out the ball, but she found that she couldn't open it.
She suddenly noticed some strange symbols on the ball.
"What is this?" Xiao Mei stared at the patterns, feeling a strong sense of curiosity welling up inside her.
Just as she was about to observe more carefully, a sudden gust of cold wind blew through, causing some small decorations on the bookshelf to make clinking sounds.
Xiao Mei was so scared that she quickly put down the glass jar containing the ball and then ran back to her room as if flying.
The next morning, Lin Xinhui noticed that the position of the glass jar was slightly different, immediately realizing something was wrong.
"Wife: Honey, have you touched this jar?"
She shouted at her husband who was making coffee in the kitchen.
"Husband: No, why?"
Chen Hanlin walked over and looked at the glass jar, "What's wrong? It can't move by itself."
Lin Xinhui sighed, "Maybe I'm just overthinking, but this thing always makes me feel uncomfortable."
The two of them once again turned their attention to the trivial matters of life, but that ball seemed to be an undeniable presence, like a silent observer, quietly waiting for the next event to occur.
Soon, that day arrived. Xiao Mei and a few new kids from nearby buildings were playing in the open space downstairs, but for some reason, today she suddenly felt a little off.
There seems to be a strange smell in the air, making people feel suffocated.
"Xiao Mei, what's wrong with you? Are you upset?" one of the children asked.
"I don't know, suddenly I feel a little uncomfortable," Xiao Mei frowned.
At this moment, her gaze fell on a corner, where there was a leather ball that looked exactly like the one at home.
"This is..." Xiao Mei walked over and picked up the soccer ball, feeling uneasy and full of questions.
The symbol on the soccer ball suddenly emitted a faint light, and then a strong wind blew through, taking away all the children's laughter and joy.
Xiao Mei stood there, holding the glowing ball in her hand, suddenly feeling an indescribable energy passing through her arm, straight to her heart. Her face instantly turned pale, with eyes full of fear.
At that moment, Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui rushed back. They immediately noticed the ball in Xiao Mei's hand, and Chen Hanlin couldn't help but shout, "Xiao Mei, put down that ball!"
The glow of the ball disappeared instantly, and everything seemed to return to normal. However, there was still a chilling atmosphere in the air, making it hard to breathe.
"Are you okay?" Lin Xinhui hurried to her daughter's side, carefully checking her complexion and body as if afraid she had been hurt.
"Mom, I think I heard some noises," Xiao Mei said softly, her voice trembling slightly.
"What sound?" Chen Hanlin frowned.
"It's like... a mix of laughter and crying," Xiao Mei's voice grew weaker.
Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin looked at each other, both filled with unease and confusion. They were even more surprised that the ball hadn't been hidden away. Even if Xiao Mei found it, she shouldn't have been able to open the glass jar. The ball was no longer just a simple toy, but something filled with unknown and danger.
Liu Minhung walked over at this moment, seemingly aware of the unusual occurrence just now. "We should investigate this ball more thoroughly," he said.
"What do you suggest then?" Chen Hanlin asked.
"Let's start by not letting Xiao Mei touch this ball again, and then we can go find some experts to see what the pattern on it really means," Liu Minhung suggested seriously.
Lin Xinhui nodded, "We must quickly solve this problem, otherwise who knows what worse things could happen."
Chen Hanlin picked up the soccer ball, carefully placed it in a transparent plastic bag, and then sealed it tightly. "Okay, we'll go find an expert this weekend."
The three of them walked back to their homes in silence, each filled with worry. This seemingly ordinary soccer ball not only involved a supernatural mystery but also posed a threat to their safety and the entire apartment.
Meanwhile, as they were preoccupied with this matter, Mr. Hsu CheJen from the third floor stood by the window, gazing at them from a distance. A strange smile hung on his face, and a hint of ominous dark purple color appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Finally, someone found that ball," he muttered under his breath.
Regarding this seemingly ordinary but full of strange symbols soccer ball, Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui decided to seek help from the outside world.
With Chen Hanlin driving, the family of three arrived at a university located on the outskirts of the city. They had made an appointment with a religious folk expert - Professor Wu.
Chen Hanlin parked the car in the school's parking lot, and the three of them walked into a gray stone teaching building.
A long corridor, lined with ancient books and artifacts, gave the feeling of being in an ocean of knowledge, but there was also a sense of oppression and heaviness.
"Hello, Professor Wu, I am Chen Hanlin, and this is my wife Lin Xinhui and our daughter Xiao Mei." Chen Hanlin shook Professor Wu's rough but warm hand.
Professor Wu is a middle-aged man, dressed in a gray sweater and dark pants, with a kind smile on his face. "Hello, please have a seat. You're here about that soccer ball, right?"
Lin Xinhui took out a transparent plastic bag containing a leather ball and placed it in front of Professor Wu. "Yes, there are some strange symbols on this leather ball, and sometimes it glows."
Professor Wu carefully untied the plastic bag, took out the leather ball, and furrowed his brow. "These symbols... I have never seen them before, but they seem to carry a special kind of energy."
"Special energy? Are you suggesting that this soccer ball could be a carrier for some kind of spell?" Chen Hanlin asked eagerly.
Professor Wu took a deep breath and then said slowly, "Yes, this soccer ball could be part of some ritual or curse. I suggest you do not touch it anymore and find out its origin."
"What should we do?" Lin Xinhui felt a wave of unease.
Professor Wu carefully placed the soccer ball back into the plastic bag, sealed it, and handed it to Chen Hanlin. "I will further research the origin of this soccer ball, but for now, the most important thing is for you to figure out how this soccer ball ended up in the apartment where you live."
Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui looked at each other, knowing that the days ahead would be filled with challenges and uncertainty. Xiao Mei observed the expressions of the adults, her heart also filled with questions.
"Then, this book is for you. It contains many spells for peace and exorcism. If you encounter strange things, you can recite it to pray for peace."
Chen Hanlin took the book handed to him by Professor Wu and nodded appreciatively. "Thank you, Professor Wu. We will handle it with care."
He opened the book and found it filled with ancient symbols and incantations, as if each page contained profound power.
"Are these things really useful?" Lin Xinhui asked, frowning.
Professor Wu smiled gently and replied, "In our world, some things are beyond the scope of scientific explanation. These incantations and symbols, originating from ancient beliefs and cultures, may provide some assistance for those ineffable matters."
Xiao Mei seems to be very interested in books. She curiously gazes at the symbols on the pages and quietly asks, "Dad, can we really use these spells to deal with strange things?"
Chen Hanlin gently strokes his daughter's head and smiles, saying, "At least we can try, Xiao Mei. Sometimes, belief itself is a kind of power."
After thanking Professor Wu, the Chen Hanlin family left the university. As they got into the car, Chen Hanlin started the car, and the family of three silently returned to the apartment that made them feel uneasy.
