Nadeesha's mysterious disappearance
(AI image generate by using ChatGpt)
For about a week, search teams roamed the forest in search of Nadeesha. Especially near the mysterious lake hidden in the forest, several members of the search team searched carefully around the small hut where Nadeesha's camera was found, but even after about a week, they were unable to find Nadeesha or any information about her. Although they tried to succeed using various tactics, all efforts were in vain.
"Oh my God, what happened to my innocent girl? Will I never be able to see her face again"..? Saying this, Nadeesha's mother would always cry.
She would not even eat or drink anything and spend her time like a madwoman thinking about her only daughter, Nadeesha. There is a small hope in her heart that her daughter will be found again. Nadeesha's brother also helps the search teams in finding his sister.
Exactly one week after Nadeesha disappeared, three foreigners who had come to the village went to explore the forest. The three of them decided to follow that path and take the new route because they did not know anything about the accident that had happened to Nadeesha. The dirt road was strangely uneven, so one of the foreigners was reluctant to go there. But the other two wanted to go there, so the three of them continued on the dark road, without using people. As they continued on like this, they saw the light of a lamp. They followed the light and the light ended near the mysterious hut where Nadeesha's camera was found. The hut was very strange and was a deserted hut without any human habitation.
"Let's go to that hut." One foreigner said so.
"Are you crazy..?" That hut looks very strange. "It's dangerous for us to go there". Another foreigner said so.
"If you two can't do it, wait. I'll go alone." Saying this, one of the foreigners entered the mysterious hut, despite the strong refusal of the other two.
Later, the other two foreigners waited for a long time for their friend to return and when he did not return, they informed the police. Now Nadeesha and a foreigner have disappeared near this mysterious hut. No matter how hard the search teams tried, their efforts continued to fail. Therefore, Mr. Nalin Perera, the leader of the search team, took it upon himself to carry out this operation.
That evening, Mr. Nalin set out to reach the mysterious hut, following the path in a book that Nadeesha had written down. He carefully examined the path and walked forward. The sound of the cold wind hitting him and the trees swaying in the wind would have frightened anyone. But Mr. Nalin had faced such experiences before, so he did not feel afraid. After walking a short distance, Mr. Nalin also saw the light of a lamp and he also started moving forward along that light.
The light disappeared near the mysterious hut as before. Mr. Nalin suddenly saw something unbelievable. He saw two eyes like two red fireballs staring at him. Yes, he suddenly remembered the mysterious man in the last photo recorded on Nadeesha's camera. He had his face covered with a black coat and his entire body was covered by that coat, so Mr. Nalin was unable to identify who it was.

A moment passed. The man in the black coat with red eyes was now standing in front of him. "Let me go, let me go. Or you will have to suffer a lot." Mr. Nalin shouted like this after the mysterious man in the black coat grabbed him. Mr. Nalin fell unconscious due to an attack he made on Mr. Nalin, and when Mr. Nalin regained consciousness, he was in a dark cave. He suddenly stood up and looked around because he could not figure out where he was. He saw a woman and a man coming towards him from a distance from the cave.
"Nadeesha you". Mr. Nalin, surprised, asked the woman who approached him. The woman nodded and acknowledged that she was Nadeesha. "I am Nalin Perera, the leader of the search team. I came here to find you two. What are you doing here..?"
"We both came here the same way you came here." Nadeesha replied.
"That means the man in the black coat brought you both here too," Mr. Nalin asked Nadeesha and the foreigner again.
"Yes, but he is not a human. He is a mummy. About a month ago, I read an old book about this mysterious lake. The book said that there was a mummy living in the hut here. So I came here to find him." Nadeesha explained this to Mr. Nalin.
"Oh, so they're real..? I've never believed in such things before. But such things really exist in the world. Now, the three of us have to escape from here somehow. Otherwise, our lives are in danger." Mr. Nalin said.
Mr. Nalin had the instinct and experience to escape from such troubles, so all three were able to leave the cave. Nadeesha was able to return to her family. Her mother was very happy to see her. Also, the two foreigners who came to visit village were reunited with their missing friend. Later, Mr. Nalin also talked to the government and made the area a no-go area for people to visit. Since then, the area around that mysterious lake in the forest has been a no-go area for people.
