In the morning light, the science and technology park was in a mess.

Su Wanwan read the note Klaus left over and over again, frowning: "Where the sun doesn't shine... the guidance of the moonlight..."

"Wait." Huo Yanshen suddenly said, "Do you remember the layout of the laboratory?"

Su Wanwan immediately thought of the drawings she had seen in the underground archives. At the bottom, there was indeed a special area marked as a "darkroom".

"Walk!"

The two were about to return to the underground when they suddenly discovered that Cheng Yuan had quietly slipped into the parking lot.

"Want to run?" Huo Yanshen sneered.

"Don't shoot!" Cheng Yuan raised his hands, "I know something about that dark room..."

"explain!"

"That is actually a backup data center." Cheng Yuan said quickly, "Fifteen years ago, your parents discovered the secret of the 'Yulan Club' there!"

“What exactly is the secret?”

"I don't know the details." Cheng Yuan shook his head, "But according to the records, a mysterious person entered the dark room that night. When she came out, your parents..."

"She?" Su Wanwan grasped the key words, "Who is it?"

"Not sure, but it is said that..."

Before he could finish his words, a bullet suddenly flew past Cheng Yuan's ear!

"Ah!" He fell to the ground in horror.

Looking up, I saw a dark shadow quickly evacuating from the rooftop.

"Chase!"

The three rushed to the rooftop, but the shadow had disappeared, leaving only an exquisite makeup mirror on the ground.

Su Wanwan picked up the mirror and found a line of small words engraved on the back:

"At 12 o'clock midnight, follow the moonlight to find the door.

But be careful, someone is waiting for you.

PS: Don’t trust anyone, including those around you…”

"What does it mean?"

"It should be a clue to the dark room." Huo Yanshen analyzed, "The moon is full tonight, and the brightest time of the moonlight is exactly midnight."

As he spoke, he carefully examined the structure of the makeup mirror and suddenly discovered that the mirror was not made of ordinary glass, but some special material!

“This is…” He narrowed his eyes, “a reflective enhancement mirror?”

"That's right." Cheng Yuan interrupted, "The entrance to the darkroom has been specially treated so that it can only be seen under moonlight at a certain angle. And this mirror can play a focusing role."

"You know a lot." Huo Yanshen said meaningfully.

Cheng Yuan smiled awkwardly: "After all, I have been with the Magnolia Club for so many years..."

"Tell me, what else do you know?"

Cheng Yuan hesitated for a moment: "Actually, I was there that night too."

"What?!"

"I saw the mysterious person come out of the dark room with my own eyes." His voice trembled a little, "She was holding a document with the words 'Ultimate Plan for Human Evolution' written on it."

"Did you see her clearly?"

“No, she was wearing a mask. But I remember she had a special mark on her wrist – an upside-down magnolia flower.”

Su Wanwan's heart skipped a beat: "Like the mark my brother left behind?"

"No, that's an earlier mark." Cheng Yuan said, "It was only used by the earliest members of the Magnolia Club."

"The earliest member..." Su Wanwan thought thoughtfully.

Suddenly, a faint "drip" sound came from the makeup mirror!

When I opened the mirror, I found a mini display screen hidden inside! A surveillance video was playing on the screen.

The picture was a little blurry, but it was clear that it was the corridor of the laboratory. The time showed that it was the night when his parents were murdered.

I saw a masked person sneaking into the dark room and leaving in a hurry after about half an hour. But she seemed to be too flustered and accidentally knocked off the mask!

The camera just happened to capture the moment she turned back to pick up the mask——

"Oh my God!" Cheng Yuan screamed, "This is impossible!"

"What's wrong?" Su Wanwan asked.

But Cheng Yuan had already collapsed to the ground, his lips trembling and he couldn't speak.

At this moment, a bullet hit the makeup mirror accurately!

The display screen shattered instantly and the video stopped abruptly.

"Hidden head and exposed tail, is it fun?" Huo Yanshen shouted into the darkness.

silence.

But everyone felt a cold gaze staring at them.

"Let's go." Huo Yanshen pulled his wife, "Let's go to a safe place first. We'll come back to check the dark room at night."

Before leaving, Su Wanwan noticed that Cheng Yuan's expression was extremely frightened, as if he had seen something incredible.

Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly covered his chest and fell to the ground convulsing!

"Cheng Yuan!"

But it was too late. Cheng Yuan's pupils dilated rapidly, and he stopped breathing a moment later.

A very thin silver needle was found on his collar!

"There's an assassin!" Huo Yan looked around vigilantly.

At this moment, Cheng Yuan's stiff fingers moved, as if pointing in a certain direction.

Following his finger, I saw a few words written on the water tank on the rooftop:

"Find that person before midnight.

Otherwise, everything will happen again.

Remember, the moonlight will guide you,

But in the darkness... there are people waiting for you too."

The handwriting is not dry yet, obviously it was written not long ago!

What's even more strange is that these words are written with some special material. They are almost invisible in the sunlight, but you can vaguely feel a faint phosphorescence.

"This is......"

"Luminous material." Huo Yanshen checked it and said, "When it's night, these words will glow."

"But..." Su Wanwan looked around, "Since the murderer is nearby, why give us clues?"

"Maybe..." Huo Yanshen thought thoughtfully, "This is a trap."

"What's the meaning?"

"Think about it, Cheng Yuan's death, the appearance of the video, and these mysterious words." He analyzed, "The other party is deliberately leading us to the dark room!"

"but why?"

"Because..." Huo Yanshen's eyes became sharp, "Maybe there is not only the truth, but also a trap that has been waiting for fifteen years!"

Just then, Su Wanwan's cell phone suddenly rang.

It is a multimedia message, and the sender is shown as: unknown.

When I clicked on it, I found an old photo - in the photo, a mother was pinning a magnolia flower hairpin on a girl. The girl had a sweet smile, but there was an indescribable coldness in her eyes.

On the back of the photo, there is a shocking line of words:

“That night, I saw everything in the dark room.

Including... who killed your parents.

Want to know the truth?

I'll wait for you in the moonlight."
