"The door..." Zhou Yue murmured to herself, "is it the one beneath the stone tablet?"
Yang Su picked up the broken jade pendant. It was only half intact, with dark marks at the fracture. On the back, a few small characters were engraved: " Demon-Sealing and Evil-Subduing Spell, forever sealing Difu."
"This jade pendant," he said, "is a pair with the copper coin in my hand. Your father mentioned it in his notes..."
He flipped to the back of the notes:
"Behind that door lies an ancient demon. Legend has it that it is a Demon Creature from ancient times, devouring lives and committing all sorts of evil. The White-Clad Witch was originally responsible for suppressing it, but her ambition grew too great; she wanted to control this demon.
When the court discovered this, they sealed both it and the White-Clad Witch with specially crafted copper coins and jade pendants. However, before the White-Clad Witch died, she set a contingency plan, merging a fragment of her soul with the essence of the demon, creating an existence like mine.
Her goal was to forge a perfect vessel capable of containing all her power. This vessel is..."
The subsequent writing was blurred, but enough to send chills down one's spine.
"So," Zhou Yue's voice trembled, "am I that vessel?"
"Not just a vessel," Yang Su replied. "Do you remember what your mother said in her letter? She mentioned that you are different from others."
He picked up a photograph. In it was a younger Wang Lanzhi standing in front of the clock tower. Strangely, however, the clock tower in the photo looked different from its reflection—the reflection showed a figure standing atop the clock tower.
"Your mother has a bloodline of clairvoyance, while your father is the reincarnation of the White-Clad Witch's soul. The combination of these two bloodlines created an unprecedented existence."
"Me?"
"Yes. You can see spiritual entities and control them. The White-Clad Witch chose your mother for this reason..."
Suddenly, a muffled sound echoed from afar. They turned towards the source and saw black smoke rising from the direction of the clock tower.
"This is bad!" Yang Su stood up. "The copper coin and jade pendant are here; the seal might..."
"Be weakening," Zhou Yue interjected. "I can feel it. The demon's essence is awakening."
They hurried towards the clock tower. Zhang San Shui was absent; instead, a stranger stood guard. Upon seeing them approach, the young man made a token effort to block their way: "You can't..."
A flash of blue light flickered in Zhou Yue's eyes, and instantly, the young man froze in place before collapsing straight down.
"What did you just do?"
"I told you, I can control them," Zhou Yue replied. "He's not human; he's an informant sent by those things underground."
They walked into the bell tower, the iron gate of the Underground Passage wide open. A damp breeze blew up from below, carrying with it a familiar stench of decay.
Descending the steps, the symbols around them still emitted a faint glow. But for some reason, that light had turned blood red. Black liquid seeped from the stone walls, releasing a strong metallic odor.
“Be careful,” Zhou Yue said. “They know we’re here.”
As soon as she spoke, a rustling sound came from the passage ahead. A shadowy figure crawled out from the corner, gradually revealing its shape—it was humanoid, but its body was twisted and deformed, as if something had taken root within it.
“Dad…” Zhou Yue recognized the figure as Zhou Deming.
But it was clearly not human. Its body was half solid and half an ethereal shadow. Strange flames flickered in its eyes, and something writhed beneath its skin.
“ Yue'er …” it rasped, “Dad has been waiting for you for a long time…”
