Many years ago, a certain room was buried underground, filled with rotten odor and covered with spider webs.

It was in this place that Lucy and her husband Joseph found the book, the book that changed everything, and for them it became the starting point of everything. After years of twists and turns, the couple searched for various clues (and to a greater extent, it must be attributed to their good luck). All of this finally led them here and dug out the divine book from the ground that had been sealed for countless years.

"The Book of the Dark God".

Legend has it that countless generations have sought it in history, including many famous rulers and some powerful people, but it has been a while since this book last appeared in the long river of history. It is said that this book has surpassed the limits of the scope that humans can understand. The things it records are so mysterious that it has entered the realm of God. The legend about it is so exaggerated that most people who have heard of it will not believe it as true.

But the "Dark Book" is true, which has been proved by Lucy and Joseph. They dug out the dark cover book from this dusty basement with their own hands, and the couple was so excited that they could hardly help crying. After so many years of searching, so much energy and resources, everything was finally proved worth it.

They held each other's hands tightly, held their breath, tried their best to suppress the excitement that was overflowing from their chests, and in the basement they used flashlights to open the dark title page.

Then what appeared in front of them was two pages of white paper.

The two were stunned for a moment. Then, before they could react, the words and patterns began to slowly emerge. Those technologies that far exceed the imagination of modern scientists - perhaps even beyond the imagination of all future scientific workers - were told in a silent way by the book, and the words surfaced one by one, and any technology recorded in it was published was enough to sensation the world.

"I didn't expect that the "Book of Darkness" would actually use German." Joseph exclaimed.

Lucy was stunned: "Wait, what are you talking about? I'm obviously reading English."

The two looked at each other in surprise, and then their eyes returned to the book together.

"Could it be... maybe..." Lucy's voice was hesitant, as if she was just saying this possibility made her feel incredible. "Your native language is German, Joe. My native language is English. Maybe from another perspective, it is not us reading this book, but... it is reading us."

"Dr. Lucy was a PhD in the Power Laboratory in Pasadena, and her husband Joseph was her boss."

Michael explains the ins and outs of this ancient story to Wanda and Daisy.

"It all comes from a book, a book that legendary empowers anyone with supreme power and infinite knowledge, known as the "Daoist Book of Darkness."

"What a rustic name." Daisy complained.

"The Book of Darkness..." Wanda murmured and repeated the name, frowned slightly.

She had never heard of such a thing before, but for some reason, a subtle feeling in her heart would inexplicably rise, just as if she should have known this book.

"No one knows what is recorded in the Book of Darkness, and I have only heard of the name in some ancient books. But any book that mentions this book has been confidently said that it is a book that records the power of God, and almost all warned it that it is a book that humans should not come into contact with. The content displayed in the Book of Darkness varies from person to person, and it allows anyone to read it easily and teach them taboo knowledge. But without strong enough willpower, anyone who has been exposed to this book will undergo an internal change because of it. This book will become the only important thing in their lives, and their desire for knowledge and power will surpass everything else."

Daisy hugged her arm: "It sounds amazing...it's also quite annoying."

"So what does this have to do with this box?" Wanda asked in confusion as he looked at the metal box on the table.

"I'm explaining," Michael continued, "Dr. Lucy and her husband Joseph are the two most recent people in history who owned this book. Without exception, they were also deeply trapped in the book and could not extricate themselves. They were addicted to the power of "The Book of Darkness". The team led by Dr. Lucy began to conduct unprecedented research according to the instructions of the book.

Originally, they might have really succeeded, if someone in the team had a strange intention.

They built a machine according to the instructions of the Book of Dark God. According to the team's original plan, the machine would give Joseph an invincible power, which could make things happen out of nothing, allowing him to gain the ability to create anything out of thin air. But the final mistake was that someone in the team was jealous of Joseph and wanted to take that power for himself. The man attacked everyone else in the team, threw them all into the unfinished machine, converted them into a ghost-like spiritual state and locked them in a specially made box..."

"Wait, wait a moment," Daisy made an interrupted gesture, looking at the opened empty box beside her with an incredible expression, "You mean, what is closed here...is the real 'ghost'?"

"Yes. And I believe that the one in front of us was Dr. Lucy, who was locked in the box before. This is the image of you who were at the dock that night."

Michael said, stretching out his right palm with his armor, and a projected image was released in the palm of his palm. The image was frozen in the scene where Wanda and Daisy jumped into the warehouse to participate in the battle. Through image enhancement processing, they could now clearly see a female ghost with disheveled hair floating behind Daisy's back, and her lower body was like a translucent phantom.

Daisy took a breath and picked up her arm: "God, I'm getting goosebumps."

"It's this thing...Dr. Lucy, did she make Daisy show up before?" Wanda asked.

"Yes. After becoming this new state, Dr. Lucy seems to have gained some special ability to allow dark energy to flow into the human body by touching alone, causing infected people to experience a state of high fear and continuous hyperactivity, just like Daisy did before."

"So, if I were Dr. Lucy," Wanda thought, "If I had been locked up for so many years, the first thing I had to do was to seek revenge on the guy who did this to me. You must have known who it is, right?"

"Eli Molo, now he is serving his sentence in prison. Shirley just sent me his address a minute ago." Michael paused, looked at Wanda and said, "Go together?"
