Xiao Meng trembled as her fingers almost brushed against the strange black runes on the hourglass. They twisted and writhed before her eyes like some ancient script, exuding a chilling aura. Just then, from her pocket, the pouch of Herbs that Qingmei had given her before leaving suddenly emitted a glowing green light, burning her fingers and causing her to jerk her hand back.
"What is this? A hot potato?" Xiao Meng exclaimed, instinctively pulling out the Herbs. The glow intensified, nearly illuminating her terrified face. At the same time, several yellowed pages from ancient texts floated out from the light, swirling in the air as if manipulated by an invisible hand.
Xiao Meng's eyes widened as she watched these pages piece together like a puzzle, forming a complex pattern—a counterclockwise Stellar Trajectory. "Counterclockwise Stellar Trajectory? What kind of high-tech is this?" Xiao Meng murmured to herself, but before she could process it further, an unexpected change occurred!
The space seemed to be torn apart by a giant hand, and a pitch-black rift appeared in the center of the venue, a cold wind howling out from it, making Xiao Meng's hair stand on end. A figure stumbled out of the rift and fell heavily to the ground.
"Whoa! Which cosplayer just showed up?" Xiao Meng couldn't help but comment, but as she got a better look at the person, she gasped in shock. The newcomer had wild white hair with a half-buried bronze star needle among it; it was Mu Yun, the Ancient Witch Clan Priest who had appeared in the illusion before! However, he looked even more deranged now—his eyes were vacant, and his face was covered in bizarre black patterns that resembled cracked porcelain.
"Witch... Witch... quickly... use... Marriage Contract blood... to activate the runes..." Mu Yun spoke in a fragmented manner, his voice hoarse like a broken windbag. "That... that black... is... from three thousand years ago... when we sealed the Time-Space Termite..."
Before he could finish his sentence, sparks suddenly erupted from his left eye with a loud crackle, releasing a puff of blue smoke and filling the air with a burnt smell.
"Wow! This special effect can't cost more than fifty cents!" Xiao Meng thought sarcastically but dared not delay. "Marriage Contract blood? What is that?" she asked in confusion. Before she could react further, Sunshine rushed over and grabbed her wrist tightly.
"Xiao Meng! Don't be afraid!" Sunshine's voice trembled slightly as he bit into her fingertip. Golden Xing Sha surged from his hand, mixing with Xiao Meng's blood and dripping onto the black runes on the hourglass.
"Ouch! That hurts!" Xiao Meng screamed but found that the pain vanished almost instantly as a strange energy surged through her body, filling her with strength.
At that moment, the entire ceiling of the parent-teacher meeting began to flicker; countless golden Xing Sha appeared out of nowhere, forming a massive vortex that spun slowly. Lilith's staff began to tremble violently, emitting a buzzing sound as cracks appeared on its surface, threatening to shatter at any moment.
"No... impossible! My plan..." Lilith exclaimed in terror, her eyes wide as she watched her staff crumble bit by bit, disbelief etched across her face.
Sunshine held onto Xiao Meng's hand tightly and was about to say something when a piercing sound of metal tearing echoed from the center of the venue.
“Ka Cha Ka Cha,” it sounded like a precision instrument had gone haywire, with parts flying everywhere.
Xiao Meng turned her gaze towards the sound, her jaw dropping in shock—there stood the once impeccably dressed Black-hearted Grandpa, now resembling a disassembled robot. His body began to disintegrate, metal pieces peeling away to reveal the intricate mechanical structure beneath.
Even more horrifying was that within each gear was a twisted shadow, and she could faintly recognize the faces of the psychic children she had seen at the Genius Children's Training Camp!
“Holy crap! What kind of cyberpunk horror movie is this?” Xiao Meng couldn't help but curse, feeling her stomach churn violently.
At that moment, Lin Xiaoman, who had been completely still, suddenly had a crack appear on her delicate doll-like face. Two streams of black viscous liquid slowly flowed from her eye sockets, resembling tears of despair.
“Quick… use… Qingmei’s… ancient text…” Her voice was intermittent, like rusty gears struggling to turn, carrying an eerie echo.
Xiao Meng snapped back to reality and remembered the ancient text Qingmei had given her was still in her pocket. She hurriedly pulled it out, only to find it chilling to the touch.
The pages of the ancient text were a rustic yellow, emitting a faint herbal fragrance, and the cover bore some ancient characters she couldn't understand.
“Which page should I tear? Is there an instruction manual?” Xiao Meng fumbled through the ancient text, mentally complaining in a frenzy.
Sunshine anxiously urged from the side, “Don’t overthink it, just tear a page and try!”
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Meng prepared to randomly tear out a page when suddenly, the hourglass’s light flickered again, projecting an image into the air.
It was an old photograph showing a young Mu Yun standing beside a man in a white lab coat, both smiling shyly at the camera.
“This… isn’t that young Black-hearted Grandpa?” Xiao Meng exclaimed, feeling her mind struggle to process it all.
What shocked her even more was that in what should have been an empty background stood a woman in tattered mechanical armor—Ailin!
She wore an eerie smile and held a uniquely shaped wrench as if she were adjusting some mechanical device.
“Ailin? How did she end up here?” Xiao Meng's eyes widened as she felt she had stumbled upon a monumental secret.
“This is wrong; there’s definitely something off about this photo!” Sunshine frowned deeply, his gaze fixed on Ailin in the picture.
Just then, the entire venue shook violently as the Star Sand Vortex above began to spin faster, emitting a piercing howl.
Black-hearted Grandpa’s disintegration accelerated; the shadows trapped within the gears let out wretched wails as if accusing him of his sins.
“There’s not much time left, Xiao Meng! Make a decision!” Sunshine’s voice carried urgency; he sensed an unknown danger closing in.
Xiao Meng gritted her teeth, determination flooding her eyes. No longer hesitating, she ripped open a page of the ancient text with resolve.
At that moment, in a corner of the venue, a pile of Steam Mech wreckage suddenly stirred, and a figure slowly emerged from within.
It was a woman dressed in a tattered white lab coat. Half of her face was burned away, revealing the cold metallic skeleton beneath. One of her mechanical arms hung limply at her side, yet she tightly clutched a yellowed marriage certificate in her hand, on which two words were written in blood-red ink.
"I've found you..."
