Finally, in a dimly lit room, they found an ancient diary. A red flower is engraved on the cover of the diary, which leads them to speculate that the diary may be related to the woman in red.

Harold carefully opened the diary and began to read its contents. "This is her diary," he whispered. She recorded things about that ancient ritual and mirror. The secret of unlocking the mirror seal is mentioned here, but we need to continue to research to find out. They

sat down and studied the pages of the diary, trying to understand the meaning. Suddenly, the lights inside the church began to flicker and then went out, shrouding them in darkness.

"What's going on?" Lin Nan asked in a low voice, and his heart began to beat rapidly.

Harold grabbed Lin Nan's hand and tried to calm his fears. "Stay calm," he said. "It's just a disturbance from ancient powers. We must rely on our knowledge and courage to move forward.

Suddenly, an ear-piercing scream came from the darkness, shaking their ears. They quickly lit flashlights to illuminate the surroundings. In one corner, they saw an ancient stone table with a long candlestick with a red candle on it.

"That candle," Lin Nan suddenly remembered something. In her diary, she mentioned lighting a red candle as part of unsealing the seal. Maybe that's what we need to do.

Harold nodded and shone his flashlight at the candle. Together, the two of them blew out flashlights, plunging the room into complete darkness. As the flames of the candles flickered in the dark, they began to concentrate, expecting a miracle to happen.

As the flames of the candles swayed in the darkness, Lin Nan and Harold's hearts raced. They stared into the flames, waiting for everything to happen.

Suddenly, the floor of the church began to shake and the walls emitted a low rumble. Lin Nan felt a powerful energy gushing out from the candle and filling the entire room. His mind was filled with strange images and sounds, as if it were a swirling vortex.

Harold was similarly affected, trying to stay awake but increasingly difficult to resist the force. He suddenly screamed loudly, as if tormented by something.

"Harold, what's wrong?" Lin Nan shouted in surprise.

Harold finally stopped screaming, but his face was pale and his eyes were confused. "I... I saw something incredible," he stammered. "The woman in red, her voice, everything is intertwined in my mind. She needs us, she needs our strength to be liberated.

Lin Nan felt a firm determination welling up in his heart. "We have to keep going," he said. "No matter what happened, we couldn't give up. The

two re-lit their flashlights and prepared to leave the room, but they found themselves no longer in the church. They are in a completely unfamiliar place, an underground labyrinth full of ancient symbols and labyrinthine passages.

"Where were we teleported to?" asked Harold, his voice tinged with fear.

Lin Nan felt an uneasy feeling, he understood that they had entered the realm of ancient power, and this underground labyrinth was full of dangers and unknowns. However, they must continue on their journey to find the relics of the woman in red, unlock the seal of the mirror, and seek answers for her and themselves.

Ahead, the passages of the labyrinth stretch into unknown depths, waiting for their adventure to continue.

Lin Nan and Harold walked in the underground maze for a long time, as if entering a whirlpool of time, surrounded by ancient symbols and mysterious energy. Each corner seems to lead to a new labyrinth, and their sense of direction begins to blur.

Suddenly, they stopped in a huge rotunda. In the center of the hall is placed an ancient stone platform with intricate runes carved on it. On the stone platform, they found a small red box containing the relics of the woman in red.

Lin Nan carefully removed the box, and he could feel that it was full of ancient magic. He opened the box and found a fine ruby inside, which emitted a faint red glow.

"This is her relic," Lin Nan said, his voice full of excitement. "We found it, Harold!"

Harold nodded, then looked around warily. "We found the relics, but we haven't unsealed the mirror. I think there is an ancient ritual or spell here that can help us with our tasks.

Lin Nan picked up the ruby and began to study it. He could sense the magical power it contained, but he didn't know how to use it.

"We need a way to channel this energy," Mr. Lin said, trying to clear his mind. "Maybe there are some clues in this hall. "

They began scouring around the hall for clues related to rubies and mirror seals. They checked the runes on the walls, the patterns on the floor, but everything seemed to be without obvious indications.

"Maybe we need a spell or charm," Harold suggested. "Ruby is key, but we have to know how to activate it.

Lin Nan nodded and began to think about everything they knew. Then he suddenly thought of an ancient legend about a powerful charm once used by a witch.

"I remember a story about witches," Lin said. "She used an ancient charm called the 'Spell of Extinguishing the Light'. Maybe that's what we need.

Harold frowned, but he understood that there was no better alternative. "Okay, let's try it. But be careful, this can be a powerful magic.

Lin Nan placed the ruby on the stone platform, and then closed his eyes. He began to chant the spell in a low voice, and his voice gradually became louder. The air in the hall began to distort, and magical energy rushed towards Ruby.

At that moment, all the candles in the hall suddenly went out, enveloping them in darkness. Only the faint red light emitted by the ruby still shimmers.

While Lin Nan chanted the spell, a powerful burst of magic surged towards the ruby, lighting up its red light. The runes and patterns in the hall began to emit a faint light, as if life had awakened.

Harold looked around nervously, and he could feel the pressure of the magic increasing. He asked alertly, "Are you sure this is the right thing to do, Lin Nan?

Lin Nan nodded, but still kept chanting. "This is our only chance, Harold. We have to take risks.

Suddenly, a powerful cold wind swept in, and the air in the hall became dignified. The floor began to shake, as if in response to the power of the spell. Lin Nan felt that his body was bound by a mysterious force, unable to move.

Harold screamed and was thrown against the wall by an invisible force that he couldn't control his movements. "Lin Nan, stop quickly, this is too dangerous!" However

, Lin Nan couldn't stop, and the spell had already entered the end. He felt his energy being drained, but he knew that once he stopped, everything would be lost.

Suddenly, a huge crack appeared on the floor in the hall, emitting a blazing light. A dark energy gushed out from the crack and quickly spread, enveloping the entire hall.

"Lin Nan, run away!" Harold shouted loudly, but he himself was already bound by the power and could not leave.

The dark energy quickly approached Lin Nan, and he could feel its evil. However, at this moment, the ruby emitted an even more intense red light, blocking the dark energy back. The power emitted by the ruby is fiercely contested with the dark energy.

Lin Nan gritted his teeth and injected the remaining power into the spell. He knew that only by completing the spell could he unlock the seal of the mirror and save the woman in red.

It's a life-and-death battle, with a battle between ruby and dark energy becoming increasingly fierce. Lin Nan's eyes seemed to have the smile of the woman in red, and her voice sounded in his ears, as if encouraging him.

Lin Nan's body gradually became transparent, as if it was swallowed by the power of darkness. He felt that his existence became fragile and his life force gradually passed. The ruby light gradually lost its former sharpness, and the dark forces seemed to have the upper hand.

At the last moment, a mysterious voice resounded through the hall. It was the voice of the woman in red, and her words were full of hope and strength. She said: "Lin Nan, you are my only hope. Please don't give up.

This voice seemed to give Lin Nan new strength, and he tried his best to insist on chanting that ancient charm. The red light of the ruby shines again, and the powerful light repels the dark forces, sealing the crack again.

Harold also regained his freedom, and he hurriedly rushed to Lin Nan and helped him up. "You did it, Lin Nan, you unsealed the mirror!" Lin Nan

smiled, feeling that his physical strength had been exhausted, and he said firmly: "Yes, we have completed the task. Now we can save her and free her soul.

However, in the light, Lin Nan suddenly felt a powerful force, like a sharp knife piercing into his heart. He screamed and fell to the ground.

"Lin Nan, what's wrong with you?" Harold shouted in horror.

Lin Nan's body began to slowly disappear, like smoke, and his voice became weak and blurry. "I'm cursed," he said reluctantly, his consciousness blurring. "I have to pay for her redemption.

Harold watched Lin Nan's disappearance helplessly, unable to stop this from happening. In the hall, the ruby still shines, the spell is completed, and the seal of the mirror is unsealed.

Harold stood in the hall, gripping the ruby tightly, feeling the immense energy it contained. He took a deep breath and carefully placed the ruby in front of the mirror.
