As she stepped inside, everything around her plunged into endless darkness, and a low, chaotic whisper filled her ears. The voice seemed to murmur right beside her, as if it had drilled into her mind.
A familiar voice echoed from all directions; it was Director Zhao's voice, yet it carried a strange distortion. "Why are you here?"
Lin Xi struggled to keep calm. She gripped her short blade tightly and looked around. The space before her seemed boundless, and she could vaguely see some blurred figures swaying in the shadows.
"Director! Where are you?!" she shouted, her voice quickly swallowed by the darkness.
"Don't come any closer. Leave!" Director Zhao's voice rang out again, this time laced with pain and struggle. "This is the abyss; no one can escape."
"No! You can!" Lin Xi responded loudly. "I came to bring you back!"
She followed the direction of the voice, each step feeling like wading through a mire. The whispers around her grew sharper, even beginning to erode her will.
"Lin Xi, you shouldn't have come." Director Zhao's figure finally appeared in her line of sight. He floated in midair, entangled by countless black tentacles, his face obscured and distorted by the darkness.
Lin Xi's heart sank. She quickly shook off the negative emotions and rushed forward, trying to grasp Director Zhao.
"Don't touch me!" Director Zhao roared suddenly, his voice filled with a strong repulsion. The tentacles around him whipped violently, pushing Lin Xi back several steps.
"Director! Can you hear me?!" Lin Xi shouted, trying to awaken his consciousness. "I am Lin Xi! We are a team! You can't give up!"
"Team..." Director Zhao's eyes momentarily grew complex, as if recalling something. "Team..."
At that moment, the tentacles from the rift began to thrash wildly, attempting to ensnare Lin Xi as well. She did not retreat; with all her strength, she swung her short blade and severed the encroaching tentacles while moving closer to Director Zhao.
"Director! Remember your duty! You haven't completed your mission!" Lin Xi's voice pierced through the darkness like a blade, striking deep into Director Zhao's consciousness.
The darkness seemed to waver as Director Zhao's gaze gradually regained a hint of clarity.
"Lin Xi... can I still come back?" His voice trembled, laden with infinite fatigue and hope.
"You can! As long as you remember us, you can!" Lin Xi grasped his hand tightly and pulled him forcefully from the tentacles.
In that instant, a piercing shriek erupted from the rift, and the entire space began to shake violently.
"Time's up!" Chen Rui's voice came through the communicator. "The rift is about to collapse! Get out now!"
Lin Xi held onto Director Zhao tightly and shouted, "Chen Rui! Activate the positioning device!"
A blinding white light erupted from Lin Xi's chest. In the next moment, she and Director Zhao were pulled into a light portal while the rift behind them completely collapsed into nothingness.
