Zhang Rui gently pushed open the wooden door of the club classroom, and a mixture of musty and old book smells immediately wafted out. This dilapidated classroom might not be worth mentioning to most people, but to him, it was the only sanctuary in the school. In the narrow space, an old bookshelf occupied one wall, filled with various comics, novels, and books, including some related to mysticism and paranormal phenomena. In the corner, an old computer screen emitted a faint blue light, next to a worn-out sofa with a few pillows embroidered with mysterious symbols strewn about.
Li Minghan and Yang Dawei were the core members of the "Mystery Research Club." Li Minghan, the president, always wore a neat high school uniform and tightly knotted his tie. His thick glasses and scholarly appearance might give the impression of a bookworm, but upon closer inspection, one would notice a mysterious symbol embroidered on his tie. Yang Dawei, the vice president, also wore the same high school uniform, but he preferred to leave the top button of his shirt slightly undone, showing a bit of casualness. His backpack was always filled with various electronic devices and detectors.
Li Minghan and Yang Dawei are the core members of the Mystery Research Club. Both of them are dressed in neat high school uniforms, giving off a somewhat disciplined appearance. Li Minghan wears thick glasses and exudes a scholarly air, always keeping his tie neatly tied. Yang Dawei, on the other hand, is a bit more casual, sometimes leaving the top button of his shirt undone, and his backpack is always filled with various electronic devices and detectors.
Although they may appear disciplined on the outside, in reality, both of them are true otaku. They have a high interest in mysterious phenomena, strange events, and supernatural things, often participating in discussions online and researching various incredible things. Their rooms are filled with manga, novels, and video games, making them true enthusiasts of "otaku culture."
In school, their academic performance is average, but in the Mystery Research Club, they are indispensable. They often provide the club with information about supernatural phenomena and unsolvable mysteries, while also enjoying experimenting and exploring the unknown. To the other members of the Mystery Research Club, they are a treasure trove of knowledge and guides to adventure.
Sitting in the deepest corner of the classroom is a girl named Lily. She is a gothic-style girl, with heavy black eye makeup and purple lipstick that makes her face look like a vivid painting. She is wearing a black tight-fitting long skirt adorned with silver chains and buckles, paired with black fishnet stockings and high heels. A pair of skull-shaped earrings dangle from her ears, giving her a somewhat eerie appearance. She holds a phone, with radical rock music playing in her headphones, while her gaze is focused on a small notebook in her hand, quickly jotting down what seems to be profound poetry.
Lily joined this club not out of interest in mysticism, but simply because it's relatively quiet here, allowing her to focus on her phone. Occasionally, she can eavesdrop on some "strange" people discussing "strange" things, which is much more interesting than other places at school.
The Mystery Research Club only has these four members, each with their own stories and purposes. This subtle mix is precisely what makes Zhang Rui find this place unique and appealing.
Upon seeing Zhang Rui walk in, the eyes of Li Minghan and Yang Dawei both lit up. Li Minghan excitedly raised a magazine called "Decoding Paranormal Events" and said to Zhang Rui, "You have to see this! Last week, there was a report published about an abandoned temple in our town. The report says that some very mysterious events often occur there, and there have even been reports of unidentified flying objects and ghosts!"
Zhang Rui took the magazine and carefully read through the report. The temple is called "Temple of Mercy and Grace," located in the outskirts of the town and has been abandoned for many years. The report mentioned some strange phenomena, such as rumors of hearing mysterious sounds at night, and some claiming to have seen flickering lights there.
Li Minghan excitedly said, "This is our chance, Zhang Rui! We can go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace tonight and witness those mysterious events with our own eyes!" Various newspapers and documents were scattered on their table, as they had done a lot of research on this event.
Li Minghan held up a notebook filled with his observations and thoughts, and said excitedly, "Look, Zhang Rui, we can rule out the possibility of natural phenomena because these lights and sounds are simply unreasonable. This must be a kind of supernatural phenomenon!" Yang Dawei rubbed his chin, lost in thought, and then said, "But we still can't be sure what kind of supernatural phenomenon it is. Some reports mention ghosts, while others mention unidentified flying objects. We need more evidence."
Li Minghan nodded, then excitedly said, "Perhaps this is an ancient ritual, some kind of secret religious activity. Those symbols and patterns may have special meanings. We should try to find more information and understand the history of this temple." Yang Dawei smiled, always able to remain calm and serve as a good balance to Li Minghan, and said, "You're right, we need more information. We can search local archives or try to interview the local old residents, maybe they can provide some valuable information."
The two of them brainstormed various possibilities. They knew that this event might become an important research project for their Mystery Research Club, and perhaps they would finally be able to uncover the mystery of the Temple of Mercy and Grace and reveal the truth within.
Zhang Rui quietly listened to the various speculations of Li Minghan and Yang Dawei about the mysterious events at the Temple of Mercy and Grace. They were filled with passion and curiosity, but Zhang Rui did not share the same enthusiasm. He had his own understanding of supernatural phenomena, but seemed not in a hurry to explore it personally.
However, Li Minghan and Yang Dawei seemed completely caught up in the frenzy, constantly pleading with Zhang Rui to join the adventure. Suddenly, Zhang Rui asked, "What about Lily? Why doesn't she have to go?"
Li Minghan and Yang Dawei exchanged an awkward glance, then Li Minghan sighed and said, "That's just how Lily is, we don't dare to control her. She just wants to find a quiet place to play with her phone, it's unlikely for her to participate in this kind of adventurous activity."
Zhang Rui shook his head helplessly and finally agreed to their invitation. They agreed to meet at the Temple of Mercy and Grace at ten o'clock in the evening, planning how to explore that mysterious place.
