As the night deepened, the silence in the apartment was broken by the low howling of the wind.
Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin sat in the living room, heavy with worry, waiting for Professor Wu's response. Their thoughts lingered in the heavy mystery and unknown fear.
Lin Xinhui Suddenly broke the silence: "We work so hard to find the answers, but why does it feel like the closer we get to the truth, the more anxious our hearts become?"
Chen Hanlin Staring into the darkness outside the window, pondering before replying: "Perhaps the truth is inherently complex. The closer we get, the more we can feel its depth and difficulty."
Lin Xinhui gently leaned on Chen Hanlin's shoulder, feeling his warmth and comfort. Her voice was low, with a hint of weariness: "I just hope that all of this will have an outcome, for better or for worse."
Outside, the wind howled, accompanied by the occasional rustling of leaves, creating a strange and tense atmosphere.
The entire apartment seemed to be shrouded in this mysterious force, filled with uncertainty and the unknown.
Before long, their phones rang, and it was a call from Professor Wu. Lin Xinhui quickly answered, filled with anticipation.
"Professor Wu, have you found a solution?" Lin Xinhui asked eagerly.
Professor Wu's voice came through the phone, with a hint of seriousness: "I have consulted some very ancient documents and found a possible method. But I must personally go there to conduct a careful investigation and ritual."
Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin locked eyes, each with a glimmer of hope in their gaze.
"Thank you, Professor Wu. We welcome your visit at any time," Chen Hanlin responded.
Professor Wu continued, "I will come over early tomorrow, so please be prepared. We may also need more help and resources."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin felt a little relieved. Tomorrow would be a crucial day, perhaps they could uncover the truth behind these strange events.
The night grew deeper, and the sound of the wind outside the apartment continued. They sat silently in the living room, filled with anticipation and unease for the coming day.
At this moment, the journey to seek the truth was filled with unknowns and dangers, but for the sake of protecting their family, they were willing to face it all.
The night outside the apartment is even darker, and the sound of the wind seems to carry a whisper of He Jiao's tragic past, making the night feel even heavier and more mysterious.
The night enveloped the apartment, and Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin were immersed in their own thoughts, sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room.
The wind howled outside the window, seemingly conveying a sense of unease. Suddenly, their daughter Xiao Mei sleepily walked into the living room, her eyes carrying drowsiness and a hint of fear.
"Mom, Dad, I can't sleep. Can I sleep with you?" Xiao Mei's voice was small, and she sounded a little scared.
Lin Xinhui quickly walked over, gently picked up Xiao Mei, and comforted her, "Of course, you can, darling. Come, let mommy hug you."
Xiao Mei tightly hugged Lin Xinhui, burying her face in her arms. Chen Hanlin also approached, gently stroking Xiao Mei's hair, trying to comfort her emotions.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Mei, we are all here," Chen Hanlin said softly, his eyes full of concern and care.
The three of them sat back on the sofa, with Lin Xinhui gently rocking Xiao Mei, trying to get her back to sleep. The atmosphere in the living room became warmer, but the sound of the wind outside continued to blow, adding a touch of mystery and unease to the night.
"Mom, Dad, I had a strange dream just now. I dreamt of a woman crying, she looked so sad," Xiao Mei's voice trembled, as if the images from the dream were still vivid in her mind.
Lin Xinhui felt a tightness in her heart and tried to distract Xiao Mei's attention: "Darling, it was just a dream, no need to worry. Mommy is here and will protect you."
Chen Hanlin also joined in to comfort her: "Yes, Xiao Mei, don't be afraid. Maybe that woman just got lost, she must have found her way home by now."
Xiao Mei seemed to be slightly calmed by her parents' comfort, her breathing gradually steadied, and soon she fell back into a peaceful sleep in Lin Xinhui's arms.
Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin exchanged a glance, a hint of unease flashing in their eyes.
This night was not just an ordinary night for them, but a night filled with the unknown and eerie. The wind outside the apartment seemed more fierce, and the rustling of the leaves echoed through the night, as if telling an ancient and sorrowful story.
Late at night, with the quiet surroundings, the moonlight outside the window spilled onto the floor of the living room, creating dappled shadows. Lin Xinhui gently placed Xiao Mei on the sofa and covered her with a soft blanket. Xiao Mei's face exuded a serene innocence, which helped ease Lin Xinhui's heart a little.
Chen Hanlin leaned against the window, gazing at the night outside, lost in thought. His heart was filled with uncertainty about the future, but also with a firm determination to protect his family.
"Can we really break this curse?" Lin Xinhui asked in a low voice, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion.
Chen Hanlin turned to her, gazing at her with determination. "We must try. For our home, for Xiao Mei, we cannot give up."
They embraced each other, seeking comfort in each other's arms. The sound of the wind outside was like an endless melody, as if narrating the tragic fate of He Jiao.
As time passed slowly and the night grew darker, Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin leaned against each other, quietly waiting for the arrival of dawn.
They understood in their hearts that the arrival of Professor Wu and the police early tomorrow morning would be the key to unraveling all the mysteries.
On this night filled with unknowns and mysteries, they felt both fear and hope in their hearts. Regardless of the outcome, this family would ultimately face it together and bravely walk through this difficult journey.
Time seemed to stand still in the living room, with only the sound of the wind outside continuing to sing.
In this quiet space, the hearts of Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin were quietly beating, as if waiting for the toll of destiny.
The next morning, Professor Wu arrived early at the apartment of Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin. He hoped to investigate and understand what had happened there before the police arrived. Their home, once peaceful and harmonious, was now shrouded in mystery and unease.
Professor Wu walked straight to the basement as soon as he entered, with Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin following closely behind. The basement was still dark and damp, with a lingering sense of oppression in the air.
Professor Wu stood by the ancient well discovered last night, carefully observing the surrounding environment. His eyes revealed a sense of focus and seriousness, holding a very old-looking book in his hand.
"The things happening here are far more complicated than we could have imagined," Professor Wu said in a low voice, with a hint of heaviness in his tone.
Pointing to some talismans on the ground, he continued, "These symbols are sacrificial talismans of Mosina Goblinoid, which I once saw in some ancient documents. I can't believe there are Taoists who would actually perform such a malicious altar spell."
Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin locked eyes, their faces showing surprise and concern.
"So, what should we do now?" Lin Xinhui asked anxiously.
Professor Wu took a deep breath and said, "We need to find the real cause and solution to this phenomenon. This ancient spell is not only powerful but also dangerous, so we must handle it with extreme caution."
At that moment, Chen Hanlin suddenly remembered something, "Right, Professor Wu, we also found a similar symbol on Xiao Mei's soccer ball."
Professor Wu's expression immediately became serious: "Take me to see it."
They quickly returned to the living room, and Chen Hanlin took out the leather ball from Xiao Mei's room. Professor Wu carefully examined the symbols on the ball, his expression gradually becoming stern.
"I finally know the origin of this symbol now. The one you sent before was not as obvious, but this one is completely clear."
In a voice tinged with surprise and concern, Professor Wu said, "This is an ancient summoning symbol, used to awaken Mosina Goblinoid and control a certain power. It seems that we are not only facing the vengeful spirit of He Jiao, but also other more powerful and dangerous entities."
Lin Xinhui's face turned pale, and she nervously grasped Chen Hanlin's hand. "So, what should we do?"
Professor Wu pondered for a moment, then said, "I need to go back and prepare some special props and rituals, and contact a senior Taoist master to come with me. This may be our only chance. But I must warn you, this process may be very dangerous. And before I come back, do not let the police go down first."
Chen Hanlin nodded firmly, "In any case, we have to give it a try. For our families, we can't give up."
Lin Xinhui took a deep breath and forced a faint, resolute smile, "We will face it together with you, Professor Wu."
Professor Wu nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and courage: "Alright, then let's each take action."
