Their figures swayed in the firelight, looking like a group of frenzied ghosts. 0
 
"Let's go over there!" Zhao Ming shouted loudly at them, trying to make them understand our determination. 0
 
However, the villagers were also moved by our resolve, and their emotions began to stir. 0
 
"We can't just stand by and watch you destroy our traditions!" one villager roared angrily. 0
 
Another villager echoed, "What you're doing is tearing our village apart!" 0
 
Their voices echoed in the night sky, as if a shadowy dark force was swirling among them. 0
 
As I stood before the villagers and lifted my head, my words were filled with conviction: 0
 
"Everything we do is to ensure that this village continues to thrive; we want to pass it on to the future." 0
 
"We do not wish to destroy your traditions but hope to protect your descendants." 0
 
As soon as I finished speaking, some villagers began to waver, but they still refused to back down. 0
 
Their eyes were filled with confusion and fear, as if we had become the demons in their hearts. 0
 
Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, the ground suddenly began to tremble, and a force of darkness even stronger than before erupted from beneath. 0
 
Houses began to sway precariously, and the ground cracked open, as if the entire world was shaking. 0
 
I shouted loudly, "There's no time left!" 0
 
Zhao Ming and Xuan Zhenzi immediately ran over to stand beside me. 0
 
The three of us tightly held each other's hands, united in heart, ready for the final ritual. 0
 
Zhao Ming looked at me and asked, "Are you ready?" 0
 
I nodded firmly; we decided to end it all. 0
 
We quickly set up the formation, and I began to chant the ancient incantation. 0
 
As the incantation slowly flowed from my lips, I felt all my strength being drained away, and the power of shadows gradually weakened. 0
 
However, despite my body growing weak and powerless, my will became even more resolute. 0
 
At the moment when the ritual was nearing completion, I discovered an astonishing secret—one that could potentially change the fate of this village forever. 0
 
I halted the ritual, and Zhao Ming and Xuan Zhenzi immediately gathered around me. 0
 
 
"What happened?" Zhao Ming asked anxiously. 0
"I discovered a secret, a deeper secret about the curse," I replied, my voice trembling. 0
The villagers fell silent upon hearing this, looking at me with a mix of emotions in their eyes. 0
Their faces were filled with surprise, fear, and unease, as if they had just learned a chilling secret. 0
"This curse is related to the creator of the village and is intricately connected to all of our pasts." 0
"We need to find another way; we can't keep sacrificing ourselves like this." 0
I felt my heartbeat quickening, and my breathing became more rapid. 0
Zhao Ming and Xuan Zhenzi firmly said to me, "We will find a way; we will face it together, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead." 0
I nodded; their support filled me with strength. 0
"That's right, we need to come up with other solutions," I replied resolutely. 0
"We can't keep sacrificing ourselves; we must find the true solution." 0
The villagers listened quietly to my words, and their emotions gradually began to settle. 0
