In the following days, Li Yi and the agents almost "buried" themselves in the pile of information. In an old private library, Li Yi finally found a yellowed diary. The owner of the diary was the personal attendant of the first owner of the manor. The diary lay quietly in the corner of the bookshelf, as if it had been sleeping for hundreds of years, waiting for the destined person to awaken the secrets it carried. Li Yi gently brushed the dust on the cover, turned over the fragile paper, and a stale breath came to his face. From the sloppy but fearful handwriting, they learned that the evil wizard had attempted to open the door to hell through a bloody ritual and absorb the power of the devil to rule the world. In the basement of the manor, the wizard used the blood of innocent people to draw a strange magic circle, summoning evil spirits from the abyss, and the whole manor was shrouded in blood and fear. Although the local residents worked together to seal it, before the wizard died, his eyes flashed with madness and unwillingness, leaving a curse, saying that hundreds of years later his followers would restart the ceremony and let darkness cover the world again.
Following this clue, they found clues of a mysterious organization. This organization believes in ancient evil forces and has been operating in secret for many years, trying to collect specific "holy objects" to unseal them. The manor case is just a test for them. And the black cat is the spiritual object guarding one of the "holy objects" - a ruby containing dark magic. Now the whereabouts of the ruby is unknown, and it must have been moved by the organization.
Just when everyone was in a state of panic, the FBI headquarters received another report that a strange theft occurred in a historical museum late at night. Several seemingly ordinary cultural relics were stolen, but Li Yi saw at a glance that the patterns on these cultural relics were related to the "holy object" unsealing ceremony recorded in the diary. The looming demon runes engraved on those cultural relics were surprisingly consistent with the description in the diary. He concluded that this was the next move of the mysterious organization.
Li Yi and the agents rushed to the museum. The scene was in a mess, the glass display case was smashed to pieces, the fragments were scattered all over the floor, and the alarm was still making a piercing sound. The surveillance also yielded nothing. At the critical moment, the screen turned completely white, as if disturbed by a mysterious force. Li Yi used a compass to track the aura and found that the thief was carrying the cultural relics towards the abandoned factory on the edge of the city. When everyone arrived at the factory, it was filled with strange fog. The fog was like a living thing, flowing slowly, and there was a faint evil breath flowing.
Going deep into the factory, they saw a group of black-robed people gathered in front of a makeshift altar, on which were placed the stolen cultural relics and the glowing ruby. The black-robed people were chanting and preparing to start the unsealing ceremony. Li Yi knew that once the ceremony was completed, the consequences would be disastrous. He rushed forward without hesitation, and the agents followed closely behind.
The black-robed people discovered the intruder and immediately launched an attack. They waved wands engraved with runes in their hands, chanted ancient and evil spells, and black lightning-like energy shot out from the tip of the wand, heading straight for Li Yi and others. The agents quickly drew their guns and fired, but found that the bullets were deflected by a layer of black shield, splashing sparks and falling to the ground. Seeing this, Li Yi quickly took out the Bagua mirror from his backpack. The Bagua mirror trembled slightly in his hand, as if he felt the upcoming battle. He chanted a spell, and the Bagua mirror burst into dazzling golden light, which was like a sharp sword, piercing the black shield directly. With a "click", the black shield was shattered like broken glass.
But the black-robed people did not give up. They increased the intensity of chanting spells, and the ground in the factory began to tremble violently. From the cracks, hideous demons crawled out, and they pounced on everyone with their teeth and claws. Some of the demons had sharp fangs and spewed green flames from their mouths; some were covered with scales, and their claws were as sharp as steel knives. Li Yi remained calm in the face of danger. He quickly drew a Tai Chi diagram on the ground, using the power of yin and yang to form a protective circle to temporarily block the demons. The Tai Chi diagram exuded a soft light, which contrasted sharply with the evil atmosphere around it, like a bright light in the darkness.
At the same time, the agents were also looking for the flaws of the black-robed men. Finally, Thompson, relying on his years of experience as an agent and keen observation, found that one of the black-robed men seemed to be the leader, and he started every key spell. Thompson seized the opportunity, raised his gun steadily, aimed at the leader's arm, and with a "bang" the gunshot, the leader's arm was shot, blood gushed out, the spell was interrupted, and the other black-robed men were in chaos.
Li Yi seized this fleeting opportunity, rushed to the altar, picked up the ruby, and chanted the purification spell. The ruby shone brightly in the sound of the spell, as if it was echoing with Li Yi's power, and then exploded with a "bang", and the dark magic was completely dispelled. Without the support of magic, the black-robed men collapsed to the ground one after another, and the devil imps also disappeared.
However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, a sinister sneer suddenly came from the depths of the factory, and a more hidden behind-the-scenes mastermind slowly emerged. This person turned out to be a well-known archaeologist. He used his identity as a cover to provide intelligence to the mysterious organization for many years and assisted them in finding the "holy object". He looked at Li Yi with resentment in his eyes: "You are a nosy guy, you ruined my big plan!" After that, he took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed Li Yi directly. Li Yi dodged sideways, and the compass in his hand flew out and hit the archaeologist's wrist, and the dagger fell. The agents quickly stepped forward to subdue him. After this battle, the mysterious organization was uprooted, and the strange events in the manor were completely calmed down. Li Yi also won the respect of the FBI because of this extraordinary experience, allowing metaphysics to bloom with a different brilliance in a foreign country. And he himself, with a deeper awe and exploration of metaphysics, embarked on a new journey, ready to meet more unknown challenges in the future.
