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

The dazzling light gradually faded, and the artifact finally calmed down, lying steadily in Chu Mengmeng's palm. It seemed to have exhausted all its strength, and the gems on its surface that were originally shining brightly became dim. At the same time, the mysterious figure trapped in the light net became completely transparent, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared without a trace.

"Is it over?" Chu Mengmeng muttered to herself as she looked at the empty space in front of her.

"Not yet." Bai Chen put away his sword, walked to Chu Mengmeng, and his eyes fell on the artifact in her hand, "It is protecting him."

Chu Mengmeng then noticed that the light emitted by the artifact finally gathered at one point and slowly flowed into Xiao Yichen's body. Xiao Yichen's originally pale face gradually became rosy, and his breathing became steady. He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of confusion.

"I am..."

"You're okay." Chu Mengmeng quickly held his hand, her eyes full of worry, "How do you feel?"

Xiao Yichen felt the warmth in his palms and smiled, "I'm fine, just still a little weak." He turned to look at Bai Chen and said gratefully, "Thank you, Bai Chen."

Bai Chen nodded slightly and turned his gaze to the artifact in Chu Mengmeng's hand. "It not only protects him, but also purifies the soul that was corroded by darkness. It seems that the person it chose is you."

Under Bai Chen's guidance, Chu Mengmeng used the power of the artifact to heal all the injured people in the castle. People's faces were filled with smiles again, and the children's cheerful laughter once again echoed over the castle.

The reconstruction work was also carried out in full swing. People worked together to clean up the ruins and repair the houses. Thanks to everyone's efforts, the castle, which was once shrouded in darkness, gradually regained its former vitality.

Chu Mengmeng looked at the lively scene in front of her, feeling very happy. She bent down, picked up a stone brick with strange patterns carved on it, and looked at it carefully.

"What's wrong, Mengmeng?" Xiao Yichen walked up to her and followed her gaze. "Is there anything special about this brick?"

Chu Mengmeng shook her head. "I just think this pattern looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere..."

Her eyes suddenly froze, and an idea flashed through her mind, "Wait, this pattern is similar to the pattern on the artifact..."

Chu Mengmeng stood up suddenly and ran to the fountain in the center of the castle. The fountain had dried up, revealing a stone platform with intricate patterns carved on the bottom. She squatted down and carefully compared the patterns on the stone platform with those on the artifact. They were exactly the same!

"Could this pattern be some kind of ancient magic circle?" Xiao Yichen also discovered the clue, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

Chu Mengmeng nodded and carefully observed the patterns on the stone platform, trying to find some clues. "This castle may not be as simple as it seems..."

Just then, a weak voice came from behind them: "You are right, this castle hides many secrets."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen turned around and saw the mysterious figure who had disappeared standing not far behind them. His figure was still somewhat transparent, but much more solid than before.

"You...you haven't already..." Chu Mengmeng was so surprised that she was speechless.

The mysterious figure smiled bitterly, "I was too deeply corrupted by the darkness, even the artifact could not completely purify me. But I have recovered some of my memories, and I understand my mission."

He walked to the fountain and gently stroked the patterns on the stone platform. "This castle was once a great magic academy, and I was the guardian of the academy. Thousands of years ago, a catastrophe struck and the academy was destroyed by the power of darkness. I was also eroded by the darkness and lost my memory and self."

"You mean, you belong to this castle..." Xiao Yichen was interrupted by a mysterious figure before he could finish his words.

"I am no longer a guardian," he shook his head, his eyes filled with sadness, "I must leave here and find a way to purify the darkness and complete my mission."

He looked up at Chu Mengmeng, his eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you, it was you and the artifact that woke me up. Thank you too," he turned his gaze to Xiao Yichen, "It was you who made me feel the warmth of humanity at the last moment."

He turned around and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going?" Chu Mengmeng asked, with a hint of reluctance in her tone.

The mysterious figure was silent for a moment, and finally did not answer, but just said lightly:

"My mission is far away..."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen watched the mysterious figure gradually disappear into the night, with mixed feelings in their hearts. They could feel that the figure was carrying a heavy mission, and all they could do was silently wish him to find salvation.

Back at the castle, the reconstruction work is going on in an orderly manner. The castle, once shrouded in darkness, is now full of laughter and joy. The residents spontaneously organized themselves to clean up the ruins and repair the houses, and everyone's face was filled with the light of hope.

Chu Mengmeng looked at the vibrant scene in front of her and felt extremely relieved. During this time, she learned how to take care of children, how to get along with others, and more importantly, she understood the meaning of responsibility and commitment. The spoiled young lady has now grown into a brave and strong woman.

Xiao Yichen has always been by Chu Mengmeng's side, silently supporting her. He taught her to use simple magic, helped residents repair their houses, and often prepared delicious food for her and the children. His gentleness and thoughtfulness, like a spring breeze, warmed Chu Mengmeng's heart.

With their joint efforts, the reconstruction of the castle is nearing completion. At this time, Chu Mengmeng received a mysterious letter. There was no signature on the envelope, only "Chu Mengmeng's Personal Letter" written in ancient magic words.

Chu Mengmeng opened the envelope with trepidation. There was only one sentence written on the letter: "The real secret of the artifact is hidden at the end of the world. If you want to unlock it, come, I'll be waiting for you there."

"The end of the world?" Chu Mengmeng murmured to herself, her heart full of doubts, "Who wrote this letter to me? Why did he tell me the secret of the artifact?"

Xiao Yichen also saw the contents of the letter. He frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Perhaps, we can start from the magic words on the letter and find some clues."

Chu Mengmeng nodded and handed the letter to Xiao Yichen, her eyes full of expectation. Xiao Yichen took the letter and carefully observed the magic words on it. Suddenly, his face changed slightly, as if he had discovered some amazing secret...

Xiao Yichen stroked the letter repeatedly, and the ancient magic words seemed to come alive, flickering in front of his eyes. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This magic word... I seem to have seen it somewhere."

Chu Mengmeng's heart suddenly tightened, and she asked anxiously, "Where have you seen this letter? Do you know who wrote this letter?"

Xiao Yichen shook his head, frowning, as if trying to recall something. "I once saw similar words in an ancient book. It is said to be the language used by a very powerful magician clan in ancient times."

"The ancient magician clan?" Chu Mengmeng was even more confused. "Could this letter be left by them? But why would they tell me the secret of the artifact?"

Xiao Yichen did not answer, but continued: "If I remember correctly, the ancient book also records that this magician family once guarded a mysterious place, where there is a powerful magical power, perhaps..."

He paused, looking at Chu Mengmeng with burning eyes, "Perhaps, the 'end of the world' mentioned in the letter refers to that place."

Chu Mengmeng's heart moved, and an inexplicable premonition came to her heart. She clenched her fists and said firmly: "No matter what, we have to go and take a look! Maybe there is really the real secret of the artifact hidden there, or maybe we can find a way to completely eliminate the darkness and make this world free of war and suffering."

Xiao Yichen looked at the brave and determined girl in front of him, his eyes full of love and admiration. He gently held her hand and said softly: "Okay, let's go together. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, I will always be by your side."

They decide to set off for the "end of the world", but before doing so, they need to say goodbye to the residents of the castle.

Standing in the square in the center of the castle, Chu Mengmeng looked at the familiar faces, her heart filled with gratitude and reluctance. These kind and simple residents had lent them a helping hand when they were in the most difficult time, and now it was time to say goodbye to them.

"Dear friends," Chu Mengmeng's voice was clear and firm, echoing over the square, "Thank you for your help and care for us during this period of time. We are about to embark on a new journey..." She told the residents the contents of the letter and promised that she would find true peace and tranquility so that the world would no longer be shrouded in darkness.

Although the residents were reluctant, they understood their decision and offered their blessings. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen took a last look at the castle full of memories, then turned around and embarked on a new journey.

As the sun sets, their figures gradually disappear on the horizon, leaving only a golden afterglow...
