The night is like ink, and the shadows under the street lamps are long, as if they want to drag people into the boundless darkness. Li Hao stood at the crossroads, pondering the words of the man just now. He clutched the mysterious metal box in his hand, and felt a cold sweat break out in his palms. What kind of secret is hidden in this box?
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and Li Hao couldn't help but shiver. He looked around, and there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him in the night, and the feeling of being watched made his heart beat faster. He took a deep breath and decided to find a place to hide first and figure out what was in the box.
He walked briskly into a nearby alley, deep into which there was a door that was half-open and half-hidden. Li Hao pushed open the door and walked in. It's an abandoned warehouse, littered with debris and dust. He found a corner and sat down, carefully opening the metal box.
As soon as the box was opened, a dazzling light burst out from inside, and Li Hao hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands. Once he had gotten used to the glare of the light, he saw the contents of the box—a crystal clear gemstone. The gemstone emits a faint blue light, as if it were alive.
Li Hao was deeply attracted by this gem, and he reached out to touch it. At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong feeling of dizziness hit him, and the whole person seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably.
He struggled to get up, but his body was as heavy as lead. He felt his consciousness blur, everything in front of him blurred. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, he heard a voice: "Welcome to the abyss of time, here is the turning point of your destiny." ”
Li Hao opened his eyes sharply and found that he was no longer in the abandoned warehouse. He looked around and found himself in a strange place. It is a huge cave with intricate runes and patterns carved into the walls. In the center of the cave is a stone platform on which a sword that glows with cold light.
Li Hao was shocked, could this be the "abyss of time" that the mysterious man said? How did he end up here? Could it all be the power of that gem?
Just as he was feeling confused, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps. When he looked back, he saw several men in black robes with hideous faces walking towards him. They were armed with long swords and their eyes flashed with greed and ferocity.
Li Hao's heart tightened, he knew that these people were not good. He hurriedly stood up, ready for the coming battle. However, his body was as stiff as rust, and his movements became extremely sluggish. He realized that his power was weakened here.
Just when he felt hopeless, he suddenly remembered the gem. He quickly took out the gem from his pocket and held it tightly in his hand. A warm power poured out of the gem and instantly filled his whole body. His body became lighter and his movements became more flexible.
He waved the gem in his hand and rushed towards the black-robed men. The gemstone emits a dazzling glow that illuminates the entire cave. The black-robed people were dazzled by this light and retreated one after another.
Li Hao took the opportunity to rush to the stone platform and grabbed the sword. The moment the sword was in his hands, he felt a powerful force rush into his body. Wielding his sword, he launched a fierce attack on the black-robed people.
After a fierce battle, Li Hao finally defeated all the black-robed people. He gasped and sat down on the ground to rest. Only then did he realize that his clothes were soaked with sweat.
He looked up at the stone platform in the middle of the cavern, which was empty. He felt a sense of loss in his heart, could it be that he had just missed that legendary treasure?
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong vibration coming from underground. The entire cave began to crumble, and countless stones fell from the ceiling. He hurriedly stood up, trying to find the exit. But it was already pitch black, and he couldn't tell the direction at all.
Just when he felt hopeless, he suddenly remembered the gem. He clutched the gem tightly and said in his heart, "Take me out of here!" ”
At this moment, a dazzling light shot out from the gem, instantly illuminating the entire cave. He felt a powerful force lift him up, and flew out of the cave with him.
When he reopened his eyes, he found himself back in the abandoned warehouse. He looked around and saw that the warehouse had become a mess. He sighed, knowing that he had missed out on that legendary treasure. But he also learned that the real treasures are not the gold and silver treasures, but the forces that can make us stronger and braver.
He clenched the gem in his hand, his heart filled with gratitude and respect. He knew that the gem was his savior and his patron saint. He decided to keep this gem as the most precious treasure of his life.
Since then, Li Hao has become more courageous and strong. He is no longer afraid of difficulties and challenges because he knows that as long as he has the power of that gem, he can overcome everything. His life has become more fulfilling and meaningful as a result.
However, he also understood a truth: life is like an adventurous journey, and we never know what difficulties and challenges lie ahead. However, as long as we face it bravely and respond positively, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and realize our dreams. So he had to thank that gem for making him understand this and making him stronger and braver.
Time passes, years fly by, and a few years have passed, Li Hao has become a successful entrepreneur, he has his own business and a happy family. But the jewel remained the most precious treasure in his heart, and he kept it in his study and looked at it every day.
One night he was working alone in his study
