In the bustling heart of Tokyo, a high-speed train raced through the night like a ghost gliding along the streets. Inside the carriage, the lights cast a dim glow, and only a few passengers were scattered about. An air of tension and oppression filled the atmosphere, as if something ominous was about to unfold.
The train sped along the tracks in the dead of night, with only a handful of passengers lost in their thoughts, hesitant to make any noise. Suddenly, a figure clad in a black trench coat and wearing a mask entered the carriage. His sharp gaze and steady stride exuded an aura of mystery. He took a seat at the back row, quietly observing his surroundings.
As the train continued its journey, an urgent alarm suddenly blared throughout the carriage. The conductor rushed in, informing everyone that there was an emergency ahead and the train would temporarily stop for repairs. Passengers stood up, preparing to disembark. However, the masked man remained motionless, as if waiting for something.
When the train finally came to a halt, the masked man swiftly rose and exited the carriage. He moved along the tracks toward a tunnel. The entrance was sealed with a heavy iron door, locked with thick chains that seemed particularly daunting. The masked man produced a small metallic box and pressed a button; slowly, the iron door creaked open. He stepped inside the tunnel and vanished without a trace.
As the train resumed its journey, passengers boarded one by one. However, they soon realized that one person was missing—the mysterious masked man had disappeared! Just then, a young woman screamed: "My wallet is gone!" She frantically searched around but found nothing. The conductor immediately called the police and requested an investigation into this mysterious disappearance.
The police arrived quickly to investigate the case. They found no signs of struggle or conflict in the carriage; everything appeared eerily calm. Just as they were becoming puzzled, one passenger suddenly spoke up: "I heard strange noises in the tunnel." His description sent chills down their spines: that low, eerie sound seemed to tell some kind of terrifying story.
The police began to look into the train's history. They discovered that its route passed through an area known as Monster Valley. It was said that this place concealed a mysterious creature capable of manipulating human consciousness and devouring souls. Whenever night fell, this monster would appear on the railway tracks, attacking passersby or vehicles. However, this was merely a legend; no one had ever truly seen its true form.
As their investigation deepened, police suspected that the masked man might have some connection to this creature. They began tracking his movements and background information. After days of surveillance and inquiry, they finally uncovered a crucial lead: the masked man had posted a video on a mysterious website where he seemed to pledge allegiance to some dark force. The police immediately analyzed this video in detail and discovered more clues and evidence.
They handed over this video to Detective Silence. Shizune was a slender girl with sharp eyes who took the video and fell into deep thought. She meticulously examined every detail and clue in it, trying to uncover the truth behind it all.
Days later, Shizune received a mysterious invitation letter. It contained only one line: "Do you want to uncover the truth? Then come to Monster Valley." The signature was an indistinct figure accompanied by an ancient map. Shizune understood this was both a challenge and an opportunity; without hesitation, she accepted the invitation.
Following the map's instructions, Shizune arrived at Monster Valley. It was a desolate wilderness shrouded in towering trees and dense fog. She proceeded cautiously, wary of disturbing any unknown creatures or forces lurking nearby. Suddenly, she heard that low and eerie voice: "Welcome to Monster Valley." The voice echoed around her as if countless eyes were watching her.
Shizune stopped in her tracks and looked around but saw no signs of life. Just as she prepared to move forward again, a mysterious figure clad in black robes appeared before her. "Who are you?" Shizune asked warily. "I am the guardian of this place and also the creator of that monster," replied the robed figure calmly. "Do you wish to know the truth? Then follow me."
The robed figure led Shizune to an ancient and mysterious altar adorned with various strange symbols and patterns that seemed to be part of some ritual or sacrificial activity. "This is what you have been searching for," said the robed figure, pointing at the symbols on the altar—these symbols represented an ancient power capable of manipulating human consciousness and memory. He continued: "That monster is merely an embodiment of this power."
As Shizune gazed at these symbols and patterns, an inexplicable fear surged within her heart. "What connection does the masked man have with this monster?" she asked. "He is my messenger; he comes to spread this power," said the robed figure coolly. "But now he is no longer needed." With a sudden wave of his sleeve, he produced a sharp dagger from his cloak and plunged it directly into the masked man's chest! The masked man groaned in pain and collapsed onto the ground, lifeless.
Shizune stared at the fallen masked man with shock and confusion filling her mind. "Is this really the truth?" she whispered. "This is just the beginning," replied the robed figure with a cold smile. "The true power is still in my hands." Before he could finish speaking, violent tremors shook the ground! The entire Monster Valley began to collapse as if it were going to swallow all life! Shizune quickly grasped at his wrist in an attempt to stop this disaster from occurring; however, it was too late—there was a deafening roar as the entire valley crumbled away, leaving behind barren land and ruins amidst silence where one could still hear that low eerie voice echoing: "Welcome to Monster Valley."
Struggling out from beneath the rubble, Shizune surveyed her surroundings only to find devastation; Monster Valley had ceased to exist. Confusion and unease filled her heart but more so was her thirst for truth. She knew that this disaster was not coincidental but rather some dark force at play.
Just as she prepared to leave this strange and dangerous place, she suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Shizune, you have not disappointed me after all." It was the voice of the robed figure—though tinged with fatigue, it still held authority.
