Shadow Emergence: A Foreboding Crisis

任瑶盯着手机屏幕上的威胁短信,指尖几乎压碎了玻璃."承担后果?"她嘲笑着,眼中闪过冰冷的光芒.想吓唬她?没那么容易.第二天,任瑶决定咨询她最好的朋友安青.在这个陌生的世界里,安晴是她唯一的盟友.然而,当她到达安青家时,门紧紧地关着,屋子里空无一人.任瑶的心沉了下去,一种孤立和无助的感觉席卷了她.就在这时,林玥出现了,一副假装关切的表情."姚瑶,你在这里做什么?你看起来很糟糕.这是怎么回事?任瑶心里冷笑一声.这个冒充自己姐姐的女人,其实是嫉妒任瑶所拥有的一切."没什么,"任瑶淡淡地回答."别骗我,"林月神秘地靠了过来,"我知道你和洛毅的合同关系.她停顿了一下,语气中带着威胁."如果这件事被罗毅的家人发现了,你觉得你能逃脱吗?"任瑶看着林玥,她的目光令人不安地平静."你想要什么?""简单,"林玥得意地抬起下巴,期待任瑶像以前一样畏缩."离洛毅远点."但任瑶只是轻笑."我为什么要害怕呢?我相信罗毅会相信我的.林月被任瑶出乎意料的坚定吓了一跳,一时不知所措.她正要说些什么,却被打断了."姚瑶!"一个清脆的声音响起.任瑶转过身来看到安晴,脸色焦急.她冲到任瑶身边,眼睛警惕地扫视着林玥.安青抓住任瑶的手,像一只保护母鸡一样瞪着林月."林月,你现在在做什么?"林月翻了个白眼,讽刺道:"哦,护花者来了?我只是在查瑶瑶,跟你有什么关系?"检查她?更像是想伤害她!安青没有退缩,暴露了林月的真实意图."我们都能看穿你的小计划.别以为我不知道你嫉妒瑶瑶!林玥脸色一变,但她反驳道:"你在说什么?我为什么会嫉妒她呢?一个被家人抛弃的女人...""够了!"任瑶打断了她,目光冰冷."林月,你到底想做什么?"林玥神秘地笑了笑,从包里掏出几张照片,在任瑶面前挥了挥手."啧啧,姚瑶,没想到你竟然有这边.如果罗毅看到这些..."照片显示任瑶与一名陌生男子近距离接触,但任瑶立即认出他们被 Photoshop 处理过.这些图像看起来令人不安的现实,有那么一刻,她不知所措.一股寒意从她的心深处蔓延开来.任瑶咬紧牙关,拳头紧紧握住.这个女人真的是想陷害她吗?就在这时,一个低沉的声音打断了他."这是怎么回事?"罗毅凭空出现,目光扫过他们三人,最后落在了林月手中的照片上.他把照片抢走,仔细研究它们,然后冷冷地笑了笑."就这些吗?即使是小学生也比这做得更好.林玥的脸色变得苍白.她没想到罗毅这么快就出现了,更别说立刻看穿了那些假照片.罗毅将照片撕成碎片扔在地上,他的眼睛用尖锐而危险的光芒锁定在林月身上."我警告你,从现在开始远离瑶瑶.否则..."他停顿了一下,声音变得冰冷,"后果由你承担.林玥吓得浑身发抖,脸色苍白,匆匆逃离现场.任瑶松了一口气,感激地看着罗毅.罗毅轻轻捋了捋她的头发,声音舒缓."现在没事."一直在一旁看着的安青,露出了满意的笑容."走吧,"罗毅说着,牵着任瑶的手."我带你们俩出去吃一顿好饭."他们三人并肩走开,留下碎照片被风吹走.在餐厅,罗毅点了一顿盛宴,举起了酒杯."让我们庆祝吧..."他停顿了一下,目光意味深长地看着任瑶."让我们庆祝我们度过了另一场危机."他堂而皇之地挥了挥手,点了一份任瑶最喜欢的全套菜肴.在他用心任瑶的同时,他幽默地批评林月的修图技巧,称其为"对智商的侮辱".An Qing joined in, joking that Lin Yue was clearly out of her league trying to play mind games with Yao Yao.

Ren Yao couldn't help but laugh, her earlier worries melting away.

Luo Yi gazed at her, his eyes filled with fondness. This dinner felt like one of those "CEO falling for me" moments in a romance drama.After finishing their meal, the three of them walked out of the restaurant.

The night breeze was refreshing, but suddenly, Ren Yao felt dizzy. Her vision turned into slow motion, and the surrounding sounds became muffled.

She instinctively pressed her forehead, her mind going blank. Important memories seemed to vanish, as though erased by an invisible eraser.

"Yao Yao, what's wrong?" Luo Yi immediately noticed her unusual state and caught her before she could collapse. "You don't look well."Ren Yao shook her head, trying to stay conscious. But the harder she tried, the more intense the headache became, as if something was struggling to break free but was being forcibly suppressed.

She opened her mouth, attempting to speak, but found herself unable to remember anything. Only a soundless groan escaped her lips.

"I… I think I…" Ren Yao's voice trembled, "I think I've… forgotten something…"

She gripped Luo Yi's arm, her fingers turning white from the pressure. Her eyes were filled with panic and helplessness.

An Qing looked at her with deep concern, reaching out to check Ren Yao's forehead. Her temperature was normal, but her hand was frighteningly cold.

"Don't be afraid," Luo Yi reassured, his grip tightening on her hand. "I'm here."

However, at that moment, Ren Yao's gaze suddenly went vacant. She slowly released Luo Yi's hand, her eyes staring ahead as if seeing something terrifying.

She mumbled, "Who… who is calling me?"

Then, she abruptly shut her eyes.

Ren Yao's body swayed and fell backward, but Luo Yi quickly caught her. Her face was pale, and cold sweat dotted her forehead. She muttered, her words indistinct: "Shadow… voice… who?"Luo Yi's expression darkened instantly. He immediately scooped Ren Yao into his arms, turning to An Qing. "We can't waste any time. We need to get her to the hospital right now."An Qing nodded, but her unease deepened. Ren Yao's vacant expression and the murmurs about shadows and voices seemed like she was under the influence of something beyond the ordinary.The car ride was heavy with tension, as Ren Yao remained unconscious, her lips whispering incoherent words: "Shadow… emerging… don't… don't come…"Luo Yi's eyes flashed with resolve. He quickly tried to piece together any clues in his mind. Ren Yao had never been like this before. Was it a physical problem, or was something else at play?The car soon pulled up in front of a private clinic. Luo Yi rushed inside with Ren Yao, and the staff, recognizing him immediately, led them to an emergency room."Mr. Luo, please wait. We'll conduct the tests right away," the doctor instructed, guiding his assistants.An Qing stood by anxiously, her face full of concern. "Is she going to be alright? Could she have been poisoned?"The doctor didn't respond immediately, but after a while, he emerged with the test results, his face serious. He looked at Luo Yi and said, "Mr. Luo, Miss Ren's body shows no significant physical damage. But…""But what?" Luo Yi's voice was cold, his patience running thin.
