The image depicted a world shrouded in darkness, a powerful dark force eroding all light.
The symbols seemed to indicate some kind of ritual, a ceremony capable of summoning or releasing this dark force.
"We must stop it," Qing Shuang said nervously, "If what these images show comes true, the entire White Elephant City could be in danger."
Luo Chen clenched his fist, determination flashing in his eyes: "We can't let this happen, we must find the location of this ritual and stop them."
The two decided to record the information from the Crystal Ball so they could study it with the sages of the government office upon returning.
They carefully depicted the images and symbols on paper, then hid the materials.
Just as they were preparing to leave the underground hall, suddenly, the entire space began to shake as if some immense force was awakening.
"Let's go!" Luo Chen shouted, knowing they needed to leave immediately.
