After waking up feeling dizzy and groggy, I really wanted to lie back down and continue sleeping.

Struggling to sit up, I glanced at my phone. The time displayed made me think I was still in a dream.

It was already 1 a.m., and I had slept for twelve hours!

This was definitely not normal; they must have put something in the food!

Raising my hand, I harshly slapped myself twice, feeling slightly more awake.

Putting on my shoes, I cautiously stepped out of the door.

Looking around, there was not a single light in the village, thick darkness coiled in every corner.

My heart was pounding incessantly, using the faint moonlight to discern the path beneath my feet.

Nervously completing this terrifying journey, I arrived in front of the temple window.

Taking out the dagger Bai Ling had given me, I inserted it into the crevice of the two windows and gently pushed it aside.

The sound of the wooden latch moving echoed, confirming that the old window structure was indeed as I had guessed.

Continuing to fiddle with it until the sound of something falling to the ground rang out.

Pushing open the window, I braced myself with both hands and flipped into the temple.

Turning on the flashlight on my phone, lifting the black cloth, the scene before my eyes left me stunned.

Although I had made countless guesses before coming in, I still couldn't have imagined that the inside would be such a bizarre scene.
