Chapter 290: Promise Under the Shadow

"Today's weather is so nice." Chu Tian stood in front of the dormitory window, looking at the sunshine outside, and said happily, "It's a perfect day to go out and play!"

"Where are we going?" Zhang Meng jumped off the bed and rubbed his sleepy eyes. "Are you planning to participate in some mysterious activity again?"

"Hehe, how is that possible!" Chu Tian grinned, "Today we are going to participate in a mysterious event on campus - 'Promise Under the Shadow'!"

"A Promise in the Shadows? It sounds very mysterious." Wang Yue asked curiously, "What is this activity?"

"I don't know much about it either." Chu Tian said, "But I heard that this is a mysterious game held once a year in the academy, which is full of challenges and puzzles."

"Should we prepare in advance?" Ye Li suggested, "I heard that this event has many unknown secrets, so we'd better be prepared."

While eating breakfast, everyone discussed the details of the activity and quickly decided on their plans. After breakfast, everyone packed their equipment and excitedly headed to the activity location.

The venue of the event was an abandoned basement of the college, which looked a bit eerie from the outside. When everyone walked in, they found that it had been decorated into a venue full of ancient atmosphere.

"Wow, this place is really mysterious." Zhang Meng looked around, "It feels like entering a maze."

"Yes, but we have to be careful, there may be many unexpected challenges during the event." Chu Tian said, "We'd better stay alert."

The event description came over the radio: "Welcome to 'Promise Under the Shadow'. Today's event will be divided into multiple stages. Each stage has different challenges. Please complete the tasks according to the clues and win in the end."

"Okay, it sounds like we need to use our brains." Wang Yue said, "Let's quickly find the first clue."

Following the instructions on the radio, everyone began to look for clues in the basement. After searching for a while, they found an old note in the corner of the wall, which read: "Find the secret of the shadow and solve the mystery in the fog."

"The secret of the shadow?" Ye Li repeated, "What does this mean?"

"It may refer to a specific place or item." Chu Tian said, "We have to look for it carefully."

Everyone searched in the basement and soon found an old mirror. The mirror was covered with dust and reflected a weak light.

"This mirror looks a little special." Zhang Meng said, "Could it be related to the clue?"

Everyone decided to try to find clues using a mirror. After several attempts, they found a small box hidden behind the mirror. The box contained a puzzle and a map.

"This map may help us find the next clue." Wang Yue said, "Let's see what is marked on the map."

Everyone looked at the map carefully and found several key locations marked on the map. According to the map's prompts, they came to a hidden corner of the basement and found an ancient iron door.

"This door looks very old." Chu Tian said, "How do we open it?"

There is a complex combination lock on the iron door, which needs to enter the correct password to open it. Everyone starts to crack the password based on the puzzle clues found before.

"This combination lock looks complicated." Ye Li said, "We need to find clues to the combination."

After a careful search around the iron gate, they finally found a set of ancient symbols on the wall next to the gate. The symbols looked like part of a code.

"These symbols may be clues to the password." Chu Tian said, "We can try to use these symbols to decipher the password."

After some effort, everyone finally succeeded in unlocking the combination lock. The iron door slowly opened, revealing a new room.

"This room looks very mysterious." Zhang Meng said, "We have to be careful."

There are many old books and documents in the room. Everyone began to look for clues in the room and finally found a tattered diary. The diary recorded some secrets about the academy and a treasure map.

"This treasure map may be the key to our finding the final clue." Wang Yue said, "Let's follow the instructions on the treasure map and see what we can find."

Following the instructions on the treasure map, everyone came to a hidden corner of the basement. In the corner was a hidden box with some strange symbols engraved on it.

"This box looks like the target of the treasure map." Chu Tian said, "We have to unlock it."

According to the clues in the diary, everyone solved the code of the box. After opening the box, an ancient document of the college and a note with a thank-you letter were hidden inside.

"We finally found the final reward!" Ye Li said excitedly, "This event is really full of challenges and fun."

Everyone returned to the event site with the joy of victory and found that the teachers of the college had prepared a grand celebration to celebrate everyone's successful completion of the challenge.

"Today's activities are so interesting." Zhang Meng said with a smile while eating delicious food, "We not only completed all the tasks, but also gained a lot of secrets."

"Yes, this event has made us more united and allowed us to experience many interesting challenges." Chu Tian concluded, "No matter what challenges there are in the future, I believe we can meet them."

Everyone enjoyed the celebration happily and talked about their experiences. Although a little tired, everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces.

“There are still many challenges and adventures waiting for us in the future,” Wang Yue said, “but I believe that our team will be able to meet all challenges!”

Everyone continued to enjoy the celebration and looked forward to the adventures ahead, knowing that no matter what difficulties they faced, they would work together to create more wonderful things.
