He quickly pulled his hand away from the pot and backed away from the table. He had no idea what he had just unleashed, but he knew he had to get out of that room as quickly as possible.
Jiu Li turned to leave the room but found that the door had closed behind him, trapping him inside. He tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge.
Jiu Li's heart began to race. He quickly scanned the room for any other exits or clues that might help him escape.
As he searched the room, Jiu Li noticed that the plants and flowers were slowly starting to come back to life
But they weren't the same as before. They now looked twisted and distorted, their once beautiful petals now dark and menacing. Jiu Li knew he had to act fast.
He remembered the note he found earlier and realized that the plant in the pot might be the element of earth. He needed to find the other three elements quickly and get out of there before something worse happened.
…
As Wei Feng reached the end of the hallway, he found himself face to face with a door. The door was made of a dark wood and had no visible handle or lock.
Wei Feng approached the door and inspected it closely, but found no clue on how to open it. Just as he was about to give up, he noticed that two of the symbols on the wall behind him were glowing.
The two symbols glowed in an intense blue light. As he looked closer, he noticed that they were etched into the wall in a specific pattern. Wei Feng tried to memorize the pattern before the symbols faded back into the wall.
Suddenly, the door shook and Wei Feng stumbled back in surprise.
Wei Feng realized that the door was reacting to the pattern he had just seen on the wall. He quickly took out a piece of paper and drew the pattern from memory. With a deep breath, he approached the door and traced the pattern onto its surface.
The door began to glow with a bright blue light and slowly creaked open.
Creak!
Wei Feng stepped through the doorway and found himself in a large, dark room. The only light came from a circle of candles in the center of the room. Wei Feng walked towards the candles, feeling a sense of unease. As he approached, he saw that there was a book lying open on a podium in the middle of the circle.
The book was old and bound in leather.
Wei Feng cautiously approached the book and read the title, "The Secrets of Danny's Circus". He hesitated for a moment before picking up the book and flipping through its pages. The book was filled with strange symbols, drawings of creatures that Wei Feng had never seen before, and descriptions of disturbing events.
As Wei Feng continued to read the book, he felt a strange energy building within the room. He could feel a presence watching him, and it made his skin crawl. Suddenly, he heard a voice behind him.
"Welcome to Danny's Circus, Wei Feng,"
the voice said.
"I have been waiting for you."
Wei Feng turned around to see a figure standing in the shadows. How did this person know his name? Was he back to the circus? Cold sweat ran down Wei Feng's forehead.
The figure was tall and dressed in a black top hat and tails. His face was obscured by the shadows, but Wei Feng could tell that he was looking directly at him. Wei Feng took a step back, feeling a mix of fear and curiosity.
"Who are you?"
Wei Feng asked, his voice trembling slightly.
"I am Danny,"
the figure replied.
Wei Feng's face tensed. Wasn't he in Danny's Circus earlier?
Danny stepped out of the shadows, revealing his face. He had pale skin and sharp features, with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"You're not real,"
Wei Feng said, trying to convince himself more than Danny.
"On the contrary, I am very real,"
Danny said with a smirk.
"What you're experiencing is the game, Wei Feng. But don't worry, I'm here to help you. You see, there is a way for you to escape this game. All you have to do is find the three keys."
Wei Feng looked at Danny with confusion.
"What keys?"
Danny pointed to the book in Wei Feng's hands.
"The keys are hidden throughout the circus,"
he said.
"One is guarded by a entity. If you can find all three, you will be able to escape this game and return to the real world."
Wei Feng stared at the book, feeling a mix of fear and determination. He knew that finding the entities were probably going to be hard to get through, but he also knew that he had to try.
With a deep breath, Wei Feng closed the book and turned to face Danny.
"How do I find these keys?"
Wei Feng asked. Danny grinned.
