The Lantern Mystery (Part 2)
When Mei Ling was eating dumplings, she received a call about a theft at the town’s temple. The sacred Jade Dragon, a symbol of prosperity, was stolen. The caretaker swore he saw the statue vanish into thin air.
Mei Ling arrived at the temple and noticed faint footprints leading away. When she used the black lantern, the footprints glowed. But they ended at the edge of a forest known for strange disappearances.
