I was stunned, opening my eyes to find the shadow quietly standing in front of me. Its expression was filled with sadness, as if it were an abandoned child.
"I..." I didn't know how to respond. The shadow had once saved me, yet I felt a deep fear towards it.
"Lin Xiaoyue, are you okay?" Zhao Ming asked with concern.
I shook my head and whispered, "I'm fine."
"It told me it doesn't want to leave me."
"But I need to find a way to control it."
I gritted my teeth, determined that no matter what the cost, I would find a way to control the shadow.
I closed my eyes again, and the shadow lunged at me. I felt a wave of dizziness, and then the shadow vanished.
When I opened my eyes, I found a scripture in my hands.
"This is..." I opened the scripture and discovered it contained the ritual for breaking the shadow contract.
Although the ritual seemed simple, I had to give up the power that the shadow provided. For me, this was not an easy task.
I continued to flip through the scripture; each word felt like a heavy burden. I couldn't help but hesitate.
The ancient book in my hands looked like it had been around for ages, yet the writing on it appeared old and mysterious.
Should I really follow this ritual? If successful, I would lose the protection of the shadow. But in return, I would gain true freedom.
Zhao Ming looked at me, his eyes filled with concern.
"Have you thought it through?"
I nodded gently and whispered, "Yes, I have thought it through."
"I don't want to be controlled by the shadow anymore; I want freedom."
Zhao Ming sighed, a complex emotion reflected in his gaze.
"I completely understand and support your decision."
"We need to hurry and get ready."
"Time is running out."
He looked up at the moon in the sky, his expression turning serious.
There were only a few days left until the night of the full moon.
During this time, we must arrange everything properly.
As the night of the full moon approached, the shadow's resistance grew stronger.
The atmosphere in the entire temple became tense, as the shadow's power made the space feel unstable.
Zhao Ming held my hand tightly, speaking firmly, "Lin Xiaoyue, don't be afraid."
"No matter what happens, I will be by your side."
I nodded and squeezed his hand back with determination.
"Thank you, Zhao Ming."
Without his companionship, I would have found it difficult to hold on until now.
The ritual finally began.
First, I gently slid my fingers over the ancient scripture.
Every word contained immense power.
The shadow began to resist.
It was no longer docile as before but retaliated with ferocity.
It was like a black storm, sweeping through the entire temple in an instant.
"Ah!" Zhao Ming was suddenly struck by a tremendous force and slammed against the wall.
"Zhao Ming!" I exclaimed in shock.
A wave of panic surged within me.
But I knew I could not afford to be distracted now.
I had to focus completely and complete this ritual.
I took a deep breath, trying to suppress all my fear and unease deep inside.
"Zhao Ming, I'm fine."
"Let's continue."
Zhao Ming nodded, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and continued reciting those mysterious incantations.
The shadow's resistance grew increasingly fierce.
It seemed to be searching for any possible opportunity to disrupt our ritual.
I felt a chilling cold rush from my feet to the top of my head, my heart racing as if it were about to leap out of my chest.
