The Mysterious Fragments: A Sculpture’s Clue
|
Welcome to Sapporo Sculpture Garden –- an open-air museum where 74 sculptures stand in quiet, contemplative stillness. One fateful night, something extraordinary happened. A brilliant flash of light engulfed the entire garden, and in an instant, one of the sculptures was gone – vanished without a trace. By morning, in the spot where the vanished sculpture once stood, a mysterious sculpture no one had ever seen before appeared – throwing the entire garden into an uproar. Stranger still, it seemed… alive. It moved, whispered to the other sculptures, even hummed an eerie tune. But when the garden staff approached, hoping for answers, the mysterious figure gasped in surprise – then fled, vanishing once more into the sprawling landscape of the museum. All that remained was a set of strange fragments it had dropped. You happened to be visiting that very day. Now, with only these mysterious fragments as your clue, you decide to help uncover the truth behind the vanished sculpture. Are you ready to solve the mystery? |
