Joe respected the words on Confucius Statue, Jasmine stretched her hand and touched it. In the moment, the wind stopped all of a sudden. They noticed that boisterous school become silent, people far away were frozen like a statue. Everything was stationary. Joe and Jasmine were shocked by the quaint view. They looked at each other and the expressions on their face were so scary. Jasmine took a look her watch and Joe took out his cell phone. They both wanted to check the time whether it was going or not. "Oh my goodness! That is so…" "BUMP!" They turned back with the sound as same time, and found there approach a cave behind the Confucius Statue. They closed to cave together and look down. There was a bottomless stair came into no sight. "Should we down the stairs?" Joe was hesitated. "I…" When Jasmine answered, a black shadow passed out them. This black shadow freaked Joe out. "I can't believe my eyes! Did you saw that…" "Yes… so I think that we go down and take a look, maybe there has some clues with the freeze time and…the black shadow. We are the only two people can move." "O…K let's go.

Joe and Jasmine went down the stairs and kept going. Fortunately, Joe's cellphone had flashlight which could be used. He lighted up the road, they couldn't see the end of the road but only pitch darkness.  Finally they reached the bottom!  " It's about time! "" We finally reach. "They tried to relax by saying something. "CIANG!!!!!" "Shi…" "Oh what the…" All of sudden, the lamp lighted up by itself. It made them frightened again. "Oh Wow it's a high technology here!” Joe was so surprised. They walked in the corridor which was quite old and narrow. "I can hardly believe that there has such a strange place under Magic Dreamers ' High School!” Jasmine said. "Hey look! Something is craved on the wall!" "Where we are…" Not only confused they were so anxious. There was no telling what would happen next.

After a while, they walked on the strange corridors. Sick and tired, Joe and Jasmine found a giant door made of stone. "Can it open? We can't go forward if the door didn't open…" "BUMP!" The heavy door opened automatic! "WOW the door is highly technological too…" Joe said. They entered a spacious space and noticed that there was a stone monument, and many Playing Cards put on the floor, which were as big as a desk for each one. Jasmine looked around the room curiously. Joe closed to the stone monument and found there had some inscription on the stone: You should match two same cards in pairs in 10 minutes. If overtime the bomb will explore, the time will stop. Remember you can just turn over two cards at the same time, or it will be regarded as failure. By the way, the time is counting down while the door is opening. "Hey Jasmine hurry…" "I'm here! Oh my god… Don't waste time, let's start now!" They moved quickly to turn over the cards. Time flied, 30 seconds left and there were six cards on the floor! "Oh no! I don't want to die here!" Joe cried." We can do it, we will survive!" Jasmine replied and never stopped her movement. "Whew…" "Hallelujah…"Finally, they completed the crazy game. The timer stopped in 9"55. While they were taking a short break, the other door was opening.

"Let's go!" "All right..." They kept going forward. When they went on a corner, they saw a dog sitting not far away. "Hey! Look at that dog. Isn't it a shadow we just saw it?" "It's Little Black!!!" As Joe called its name, Little Black glanced at them and ran away quickly. They chased after it without thinking. Soon, they saw 3-way junction. "Hmm......We choose the middle one at first. Not until we're wrong, we go back." They went for a while, seeing another door open automatically just like then. By the time they went in, the door had been closed. It was an ancient room. "Hey, there's a tip on the desk." Jasmine repeated the words on tip: You have to find out Spring And Autumn Annuals, which was written by Confucius. "When can we end this game?" Joe felt impatient. They started looking hard for the book although they had a few complaints. Finally, they found it. Opening the book, they saw there was a slip of paper with some numbers on it. "I know! It's a password to next door." After they entered the numbers, the bookshelf near the desk started to move. Behind it, they saw a new road.

"Oh My God…It's so unbelievable." Joe said. "How could be such a place under the ground?" There was an abyss in no sight, and only a shabby, tottering drawbridge connected both two sides. "There's no denying that we should cross it." Jasmine said. The door behind them closed. "Fine…Let's go…I think it inevitable for us to die." Joe said. The drawbridge seemed not stable enough so that they could hear the sound of the wooden board rubbed. They moved slowly and carefully for fear that the bridge might break in any sudden. "Whew…All right…We can do it…just only a half way to another side." "Yah…we can do it…we can…" All at once, a strange wind blew weirdly. And the whole drawbridge swayed continuously. "How strange at this moment!" Jasmine's words faded out because of the wind. Both of them were frightened. Joe broke the wooden board and fell into the abyss. "Arghhh……" "Joe!!!" Jasmine screamed.

"Hey! Joe! Wake up! Joe! " Jasmine patted on Joe's back and tried to wake him up. "Hum……Where's the voice come from? It sounds like someone call my name?" Joe thought and opened his eyes gradually. Then he jumped and was in alarm. "Where am I? I'm dead? I'm in the heaven or in…….Hey, Jasmine?  Wait……Are you dead, either?" "What are you talking about? It's time to go home. You slept like a lop totally in one class and murmured when waking up. Are you dull? Let's go home!" "Huh? I slept a whole class? Didn't we go on an adventure under the statue Confucius? And I fell down the drawbridge. Then……."Joe tried to recall all the things that just happened. "Do you see too much adventure novel? Let' go! Everyone left the classroom. "Jasmine said.  "That's so strange……Isn't it possible that all of them just a dream?" Joe wondered.

"Eh……Tomorrow we have math, English, Chinese, physics and biology tests. Do you prepare for them?" "What!? Oh Man! It's too much! I'm screwed!" They walked far…far away. The sunset shone on them, and their shadow became longer and longer. Little Black sat at the inner gate, watching them silently until they were out of sight.
