## Summary

According to the excavation team, there is a high possibility
that these artifacts contain black energy.
I heard that even the Chief of the Imps, Red Nose
stole one of the artifacts from this place before.
It's true that those with the Black Spirit
gain immense strength and an extraordinary sense of awareness.
But unfortunately, most of them succumb to the darkness and lose their sanity.
I am certain that Red Nose has changed both physically and mentally.
This will also be your fate if you choose to continue your journey
with the Black Spirit. So come find me if you need help.
Remember. My name is Edan.
