The atmosphere in the living room became eerie when the two returned home. Suddenly, a sound came from Xiao Mei's room. They heard something fall, a sound resembling a ball game, but it sounded unusual.
Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui both turned to look at Xiao Mei's door at the same time, feeling puzzled.
"What's that sound?" Chen Hanlin asked, his voice tinged with anxiety.
Lin Xinhui also felt uneasy. She replied, "I'm not sure, but it sounds like... soccer balls? Let me go check."
The two of them walked towards Xiao Mei's door, and when they opened it, the scene shocked them. Xiao Mei's room was filled with soccer balls of all sizes and colors, scattered all over the floor.
There is a special ball among them, emitting a faint light as if it contains some mysterious power.
Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui exchanged a surprised look, then approached the glowing ball gently.
When they reached out to touch the soccer ball, suddenly, a strange sensation surged through their hearts, as if they had established some kind of connection with the soccer ball.
Lin Xinhui felt a stir in his heart and began tapping the soccer ball with his fingers, producing a crisp sound. "This soccer ball is really strange. Shouldn't we take it for inspection?"
Chen Hanlin nodded in agreement with her suggestion, "Yes, perhaps this soccer ball contains some clues, about Xiao Mei, or about this apartment. We should find a professional to inspect it as soon as possible."
As they were about to leave Xiao Mei's room, suddenly, the soccer ball emitted a bright beam of light, drawing their attention to it.
The beam of light turned into a small image, as if it were a video replay, showing a strange scene.
In this small image, a young woman dressed in ancient clothing sits in an ancient study.
Her eyes were filled with confusion and sadness.
Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui exchanged a shocked glance, as if this image was related to the past of this apartment.
They tried to understand the meaning of this scene, but the image suddenly disappeared, and the ball returned to calm as if nothing had happened.
"What on earth is this?" Chen Hanlin asked in confusion, his voice filled with puzzlement.
Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui are facing the ordinary ball, which is now lying calmly on the living room floor.
The quiet of the night envelops the entire apartment, with only a faint moonlight shining through the window onto the floor, reflecting off a ball.
This ball used to be just a regular children's toy in their eyes, but now it seems to hold some mysterious power.
Lin Xinhui Slowly squatting down, she gently touched the surface of the soccer ball. She could feel the faint vibration emanating from the ball, which made her heart beat faster.
"What makes this soccer ball so special?" she murmured to herself.
Chen Hanlin was staring closely at the ball, feeling a strange atmosphere surrounding the object.
His curiosity gradually overcame his fear, and he said softly, "Perhaps we should take a look inside this ball."
So they gently flipped the ball over, revealing its bottom.
Suddenly, the light in the living room dimmed, and a soft humming sound emanated from inside the ball. A faint glow emerged from the depression at the bottom of the ball, gradually spreading throughout the living room.
Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui couldn't help but focus their gaze on this light.
As the faint light spread, an illusion began to appear in the air. It was a scene, an ancient scene, as if it had appeared before them as if through the passage of time.
Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui gazed at the soccer ball, as if they had traveled through the mist of time and witnessed a terrifying ancient past.
Under the faint glow of the ball, scenes emerged before their eyes, as if reliving a forgotten history.
It was an ancient village, its buildings filled with a sense of history, surrounded by mountains, like a forgotten world.
The center of the village is an ancient dried-up well. Standing by the well is a young woman with a sorrowful expression and vacant eyes.
Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui knew that this woman held the secret revealed by the leather ball.
They saw the villagers, who tightly surrounded a young woman, holding torches and shouting frantically, "Burn the plague, burn the plague!"
The young woman was bound with ropes to a wooden frame, struggling helplessly but unable to break free. She carried a child in her womb, yet the villagers' madness made them turn a blind eye.
A villager raised a torch and set fire to the young woman's body. Flames rose and crazily consumed her life. Her wails echoed in the night sky, breaking hearts. At the same time, the life of the child in her belly ended in this cruel moment.
Only her head was left unburned in the end, and her eyes were filled with extreme resentment, unable to close even in death.
Out of fear and dread, the villagers wrapped her head in a piece of cloth and threw it into the old dried-up well, which happened to be located in the building where Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui lived.
Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui were deeply moved by this scene. They understood the pain and resentment of this young woman, as well as the origin of her curse on all pregnant women.
This is a tragic story, a buried truth, and the key to bringing it back to light is the soccer ball.
Lin Xinhui said softly, "This is a terrible history, a forgotten story. The resentment and pain of this woman linger in this land, and her curse has become a source of calamity. We must unravel this mystery, bring peace to her soul, and stop the curse from continuing to spread."
Chen Hanlin nodded in agreement, and they decided to conduct a thorough investigation to uncover more truths and lift this curse.
