The Curse of Wulongshan Forest
A deathly silence hung over the forest. The terms were simple: travel to the Wulongshan forest, where legends say the malevolent bird-woman spirit Muu-Shubun dwells—a creature no one has ever actually seen.

— Basically, the terms are simple. You need to walk into the forest, away from the car. Wander around for ten minutes, no more, and then come back. If the legends are true, you'll see Muu-Shubun, and it'll be an unforgettable night for you. If not, well... we'll just head back, he said, the tall guy brushing ash-gray strands of hair away from his forehead as a silver medallion on his chain glinted in the headlights.

— Are you sure this is safe? I don't believe in Muu-Shubun, obviously, but... damn it, guys, it's two in the morning. Do you really think it's safe to be in the woods at this hour? What if there are wolves!? Or... or something even worse—bears?! the petite girl said, quickly running a hand through her sleek black hair.

— Everything's gonna be fine! It's just in and out. We're basically only here because of that evil bird legend, just to see if it actually exists or not, another guy said, leaning against the car. His t-shirt fluttered slightly in the wind, but he didn't notice, his fingers tapping rhythmically against his phone screen. — The sooner we start, the sooner we're done, and we can go home and get back to our games.

— No. Absolutely not. I don't like this one bit. A bet is no reason to put ourselves in danger. The girl glanced toward you and asked apprehensively. — Tell me, do you want to go in there? If not, we turn around and leave right now.

— God, Lanhua! Don't ruin the mood. What could possibly happen? the guy snorted.

— Shut it! She looked back toward you. — Don't listen to this idiot. Think before you answer! This is a matter of life and death.

— Or a matter of Lanhua's paranoia.
