Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

In the dim church, only a few flickering candles emitted a faint light, illuminating the figures of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen hugging each other tightly. Their faces were full of struggle and pain, and their hearts were like a raging sea, unable to calm down for a long time.

"We... promise you." Finally, Xiao Yichen broke the silence and said firmly. He knew that this was their only hope, and they had to make sacrifices in order to save the town and protect their families.

Chu Mengmeng didn't say anything, but nodded silently, tears sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the cold floor. Giving up everything, leaving behind young children and elderly parents, how cruel and painful it is for a mother.

They returned home and told their family about this difficult decision. Although the twins were young, they were sensible and did not cry. They just hugged their parents tightly with their eyes full of reluctance.

"Mom and Dad, you must come back to see us." Xiao Xiao said with a sob, his little hands tightly grasping the corner of Chu Mengmeng's clothes.

"Yes, mom and dad will definitely come back." Chu Mengmeng held back her tears, hugged the children in her arms, and comforted them over and over again.

Although Xiao Yichen's parents were very reluctant to let them go, they also understood that this was the only hope to save the town. They suppressed their grief and packed their bags for Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, ready to send them on an unknown journey.

The next morning, before dawn, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen said goodbye to their families and set out on the road to the church. Their backs looked particularly lonely and desolate in the morning light, as if they were about to blend into the endless darkness.

In the church, the old man had been waiting for a long time. He handed Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen two simple rings and said, "Take it, it will guide you to find the sealed place."

"Thank you." Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen took the rings and put them on each other's hands.

"Let's go, time is running out." The old man turned and walked towards the altar, opening the secret door leading to the unknown.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen took a deep breath, held each other's hands tightly, and stepped resolutely into the darkness...

"Take care of yourself..." Xiao Yichen's father said tremblingly as he looked at the figure gradually disappearing in the darkness... The morning light was just breaking, and the cold light shone through the window lattice, casting mottled shadows on the floor. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen carried their simple bags and looked back at their home for the last time. The twins were still immersed in their dreams, with a bit of reluctance on their chubby little faces. Xiao's father and mother stood at the door, their eyes full of reluctance and worry, but they also forced a smile to see them off.

"Be careful on the road and take care of yourself. We will wait for you to come back home." Xiao's mother's voice was choked with sobs. She reached out to help Chu Mengmeng tidy up her messy collar, as if she was instructing her child who was about to go on a long journey.

Father Xiao patted Xiao Yichen on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Yichen, Mengmeng is in your care. Protect her well. We believe that you will be able to overcome the difficulties and return safely."

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, we will definitely come back." Xiao Yichen promised solemnly, holding Chu Mengmeng's hand with a little force to give her strength.

Li Yunfei also came to see them off. His face was heavy, but his eyes were firm. "I have already made arrangements. I will take over the family business temporarily. You can just go and do what you are supposed to do. I will ensure the economic stability of the town."

"Yunfei, thank you." Xiao Yichen patted his shoulder gratefully. He knew how much pressure and risk Li Yunfei had taken on.

After bidding farewell to their reluctant family and friends, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen turned and walked towards the church. Their backs looked particularly slender in the morning light, as if they were carrying everyone's hopes and moving firmly towards an unknown destiny.

In the church, the old man had been waiting for a long time. He handed a black cloak to Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen. "Put it on to cover up your aura and avoid unnecessary trouble."

The two took the cloak and put it on. They instantly felt a mysterious force surrounding them, as if they had merged into one with the surrounding environment.

"Follow me." The old man turned around and walked into the depths of the church, stopping in front of a huge mural.

"Are you ready?" The old man turned his head and looked at them deeply.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. They nodded solemnly without any hesitation.

The old man stretched out his hand and gently touched the mural. Ripples appeared on the mural and a door slowly opened. Inside the door was pitch black and bottomless, as if it led to another world.

"Let's go, I'll wait for you on the other side." The old man stepped aside and motioned for them to go in.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen took a deep breath, held hands, and stepped into the mysterious door without hesitation. The darkness swallowed them in an instant...

"Wait, here..." Before Chu Mengmeng could finish, the door behind her closed with a bang. The darkness swallowed them. Chu Mengmeng held Xiao Yichen's hand tightly, feeling the familiar warmth, and felt relieved. There was a dead silence around them, with only the breathing of the two people echoing in the darkness. Suddenly, a little light appeared in front of her eyes, and the light became bigger and brighter, so bright that Chu Mengmeng had to close her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an ancient and mysterious forest. The towering trees blocked out the sun, and the sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled spots of light. The air was filled with the smell of damp soil and various exotic fragrances of flowers and plants.

"Here..." Chu Mengmeng looked around, her eyes full of surprise.

"It seems that we have arrived at another place." Xiao Yichen calmly observed the surrounding environment, "If I am not mistaken, this should be the magic forest that the old man mentioned."

As the two were talking, an old voice came from not far away: "Welcome to the trial ground of the Magic Academy."

Following the sound, they saw an old man in a grey robe and with white hair, walking slowly towards them with a cane. The old man had a kind face and deep eyes, as if he could see through everything.

"You are..." Chu Mengmeng asked hesitantly.

"I am the guardian of this magic academy," the old man smiled slightly, "You can call me Austin."

"Master Austin, we would like to ask you to help us lift the seal." Xiao Yichen said straight to the point.

Austin nodded and said, "I know why you are here, but to lift the seal, you must pass a series of tests to prove that you are qualified to possess this power."

"We are willing to accept the test." Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen said in unison.

"Very good." Austin nodded with satisfaction, "Come with me."

Austin led them through the dense forest and came to an ancient castle. The castle was towering into the sky, with vines climbing up the walls, exuding an ancient atmosphere.

"Is this the magic academy?" Chu Mengmeng looked up at the castle in front of her, her heart filled with awe.

"Yes, this used to be a place for magicians to study and practice, but it has been abandoned for many years." Austin pushed open the door of the castle, and a smell of decay hit him in the face.

The castle was dimly lit and the walls were covered in dust, but the former glory could still be vaguely seen. Austin took them to the center of the castle hall and pointed to an ancient magic circle on the ground and said, "As long as you can pass the test of this magic circle, I will help you remove the seal."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked down at the magic circle, only to see that it was engraved with complicated runes and emitted a faint light.

"Remember, the magic circle will create different tests based on your inner fears. Only by overcoming your inner fears can you pass the tests." Austin warned solemnly, "Are you ready?"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, took a deep breath, and stepped into the magic circle together... Suddenly, the magic circle shone brightly, and the figures of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen disappeared in the dazzling light.

"Hope..." Austin muttered to himself as he looked at the empty magic circle, his old face full of worry. After the blinding white light, Chu Mengmeng found herself in a desolate desert. The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the hot sand seemed to swallow people. She looked around, but could not see Xiao Yichen. Only a few broken stone pillars could be vaguely seen in the distance, indicating that civilization once existed here.

"Yi Chen! Where are you?" Chu Mengmeng's heart tightened and she anxiously called Xiao Yichen's name.

"I'm here!" Xiao Yichen's voice came from a distance. Chu Mengmeng looked in the direction of the voice and saw that he was trapped in a black fog. The fog was rolling and making bursts of creepy sounds.

"Don't come over!" Xiao Yichen's voice came from the fog, with a hint of pain, "This fog is weird, it will devour people's consciousness!"

Chu Mengmeng didn't dare to go forward rashly. She was anxiously thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, she remembered what Master Austin said: "The magic circle will create different tests based on your inner fear."

Could it be that this desert and the fog were all illusions? And Xiao Yichen's inner fear was... loneliness?

Thinking of this, Chu Mengmeng no longer hesitated. She took a deep breath, and walked towards the black fog step by step under the scorching sun.

"Mengmeng, don't come over here!" Xiao Yichen's voice became even more painful, "You will be trapped here!"

"I'm not afraid!" Chu Mengmeng's voice was firm and powerful, "I believe in you, and I believe in the relationship between us!"

Chu Mengmeng rushed into the fog without hesitation. The fog swallowed her up instantly, her ears were filled with all kinds of horrible sounds, and all kinds of horrible illusions appeared in front of her eyes. But she always held the jade pendant tightly in her hand. It was the token of love Xiao Yichen gave her, and it was also the source of her strength to overcome her fear.

Finally, she came to Xiao Yichen, held his hand tightly, and passed the power of the jade pendant to him.

"Don't be afraid, I'm with you." Chu Mengmeng's voice was gentle and firm, like a ray of sunshine, dispelling the fear in Xiao Yichen's heart.

The fog gradually dissipated, the desert disappeared, and they returned to the hall of the Magic Academy.

"Congratulations, you have passed the first test." Master Austin's voice rang out in the empty hall. "Next, there are more severe challenges waiting for you."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other with determination in their eyes. They knew that if they wanted to lift the seal and save the town and their families, they had to overcome all difficulties and move forward courageously.

In the following days, they experienced various tests, thrilling adventures, and warm and touching moments. In one mission, they needed to sneak into a heavily guarded castle and steal an important map. The map marked the location of the new force's base, and this base might be the key to unlocking the seal.

After careful planning, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen successfully sneaked into the castle. While avoiding the guards, they accidentally discovered a secret room. The door of the secret room was ajar, and a faint whisper came from inside.
