The night mist drifted like gauze, silently sweeping over the campus walls and shrouding the dormitory building in a hazy veil. Su Yao leaned against the window, the jade tablet she had acquired at the auction held in her hand. Moonlight spilled onto the archaic surface, casting a faint, eerie glow. The jade felt warm to the touch, yet it radiated an indescribable chill, as if it held secrets from thousands of years past.
"This tablet..." Lin Yu leaned in, his gaze fixed intently on the object. "I can't shake the feeling that it carries an unsettling aura." He frowned and reached out to touch it, but the moment his fingertips drew near, an invisible force repelled him.
Su Yao raised an eyebrow slightly. "It seems this tablet is sealed; it won't be so easily deciphered." She closed her eyes, circulating her spiritual power to sense the mysteries within. A moment later, she opened her eyes, a trace of confusion flashing across her face. "I can feel a powerful force inside, but I cannot communicate with it."
