With the intrusion of dreams, Wu Cheng woke up, and memories from the past surged into his mind as if it had happened yesterday. He met Li Xiaoting in a big city 15 years ago, when they were both young and promising. At that time, Wu Cheng was an outstanding student at the police academy, while Li Xiaoting was an art student at a university. They met at a campus social event. Wu Cheng was deeply impressed by Li Xiaoting's beauty and gentleness, and was quickly drawn to her.
Their relationship quickly heated up, and Wu Cheng was almost certain that he had found his other half in life. However, as his responsibilities in the police force grew, his time and energy were gradually diverted, and at the same time, Li Xiaoting's feelings also began to change.
Years after the two graduated, Li Xiaoting proposed to discuss marriage, but Wu Cheng showed hesitation and indifference. His work in the police force forced him to face various dangers, and his neglect made Li Xiaoting feel neglected and lonely.
As time passed, Li Xiaoting became increasingly fragile and sensitive. She would often wake up in the middle of the night and her sleepwalking became more severe. She became afraid of the light, often turning off the lights and staying in the Darkness, as if something terrifying was chasing her.
Li Xiaoting's fear and unease gradually took over her life. She no longer dared to face the light alone, and as soon as the sun set, she hurriedly turned off all the lights, letting Darkness envelop the entire room. In the Darkness, her mood became even heavier, as if some terrifying presence was ready to attack her at any moment.
Often, Li Xiaoting was troubled by strange sounds. These sounds did not come from the outside, but from deep within her, as if some terrifying presence was trying to enter her thoughts. She would sit in a corner, hugging her knees, covering her ears with her hands, hoping to stop the invasion of those sounds. However, no matter how hard she tried, those sounds seemed to be unstoppable, only growing stronger and more chilling.
Xiaoting's past is unfamiliar to Wu Cheng. Whenever hometown matters are brought up, she always shows a resistant expression and prefers not to talk about it. She only mentioned that her hometown is called Qing Town and that it was once the most beautiful place in the world. Upon hearing this, Wu Cheng decided to delve deeper into Li Xiaoting's past and experiences. He went to Li Xiaoting's old home area, attempting to find some clues about her and her family.
Near Li Xiaoting's old home, Wu Cheng discovered a dilapidated cottage that appeared to have been long neglected. The exterior walls were mottled, the windows shrouded in Darkness, exuding an inexplicable cursed atmosphere. Wu Cheng gently pushed open the door, revealing a faint scent of aged wood. As he entered the house, he saw some abandoned furniture, covered in dust, as if they were memories sealed in the river of time.
Wu Cheng's gaze finally fell on an ancient desk, on which lay an open ancient book. The cover of the book was filled with mysterious symbols that Wu Cheng could not identify. He carefully flipped through the ancient book and gradually found more records about the Li Xiaoting family. It turned out that the Li Xiaoting family had once been a priestly class, often performing sacrifices and rituals at night to pray for the power and protection of Mosina Goblinoid. However, over time, this family fell into a dark and evil abyss, beginning to perform even more bizarre rituals, even involving the sacrifice of living humans.
Wu Cheng discovered that the Li Xiaoting family, in a ritual known as the "Dark Covenant," attempted to exchange the power of Mosina Goblinoid for human souls. This ritual involved a series of ancient incantations and forbidden symbols, described as extremely terrifying and eerie. As the ritual progressed, family members gradually became insane, their minds corrupted by dark forces. These records deeply filled Wu Cheng with fear and unease.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through, causing the pages of the ancient books on the desk to flip, revealing more eerie images. Wu Cheng saw that the images in the ancient books gradually presented a scene shrouded in Darkness, with countless figures posing strangely in the dark, their eyes filled with madness and desire. In the center, a giant Mosina Goblinoid figure was rising, seemingly awakening from the Darkness.
Wu Cheng's heartbeat became more intense, feeling the eerie power gradually eroding his mind. He desperately wanted to escape from this gloomy room, but his body was no longer under his control, as if being controlled by some invisible force.
"You have touched the forbidden, Wu Cheng," a deep and eerie voice suddenly sounded, as if murmuring from the depths of hell. The air around became stagnant, as if condensed by the Darkness itself. Wu Cheng looked around in terror, but could not find the source of the voice.
His heartbeat became so clear, as if echoing in this silent Darkness. Waves of coldness rose from his spine, and he felt every hair on his body trembling. The ancient books in front of him, like a silent witness, witnessed this terrifying situation.
"Wu Cheng," the voice rang out again, this time even closer, as if whispering in his ear. His breathing became rapid, his mind drawn by an unknown force, rendering him unable to move.
"You should not explore this forbidden secret," the voice entwined in his mind, "the dark power has already taken control of you."
Suddenly, he felt an invisible force pressing on his thoughts, forcing him to recall his past fears and regrets. He saw himself alone facing a dark ritual, with the twisted faces of his family members appearing before him, and the sounds of agony echoing in his ears.
"Your soul will forever be imprisoned in Darkness," a voice seemed to come from the depths of his being, "becoming a part of the Darkness."
He struggled to break free from the grip of this force, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the control of fear and despair. The Darkness was like a merciless roar, devouring his consciousness and submerging his existence in nothingness.
In this endless Darkness, Wu Cheng's consciousness gradually faded, leaving only deep fear and helplessness. He became a part of the Darkness, a cursed soul, forever unable to break free.
