Chapter 4: Unraveling the Fog.
Alan carefully picked up the locked ancient book and decided not to hesitate any longer. He took out an ancient family key from his pocket, which shimmered faintly but surely in the dimness. The moment the key was inserted into the lock hole, it seemed as if time had stood still, and then with a gentle turning sound, the dusty door of memory quietly opened.
Turning the title page, an old and special smell comes to my face, which is the smell of history, mixed with the smell of time and stories. Although the handwriting in the book has been blurred by the erosion of time, through the focus on identification, Alan began to decipher the forgotten written records.
The book details the saga of generations of the Red family and a little-known history, including a secret of the family's honor and curse. It turned out that one of the ancestors of the family had made a heavy oath to protect innocent lives, and this oath was like a double-edged sword, bringing both glory and endless troubles and challenges.
As he reads, Alan discovers that the family's current predicament and his mission are intimately linked to this history. He realizes that to solve the current crisis, he must confront and break the secret oath left by his ancestors.
The moonlight shone through the window on his focused face, and his gaze grew firm. In the final chapter of the secret room, Alan Ryder is determined not only to reveal the family's past, but also to take on the responsibility of changing the fate and breaking the curse, and creating a new future for the Rhett family.
At this moment, in the dead of night, only the ancient clock ticked on the wall, as if to remind him that the journey of adventure and redemption had just begun.
