What is going on? Is this last source of light also going to leave us?
"Quick! Xiao Yangxia! Look!" Lu Yuanbai said anxiously.
I hurriedly scanned the words, my eyes struggling to grasp each character on my trembling hands, trying to see every detail in the limited light.
"This train is actually a dead loop..." I muttered nervously, my voice almost rising to a shout, "a dead loop that can never be escaped. Only those who truly understand it can find a way out."
"We need to find that control center quickly!" Lu Yuanbai shouted loudly.
I swallowed hard and continued reading, "The control center is located..."
At that moment, the beam of light disappeared.
In the pitch-black darkness where I couldn't see my hand in front of my face, all that echoed in my mind were the phrases from that diary.
These ambiguous records gradually became clearer.
They were not just about the history of this train; they concealed deeper secrets.
"This train is guarded by an ancient Guardian," I whispered to Lu Yuanbai.
"It exists to protect a more significant secret."
Lu Yuanbai's voice trembled slightly, "Guardian? Did our earlier actions anger it?"
I gently nodded, although in this dark environment, the gesture was almost meaningless.
We must have awakened that Guardian; even worse, we might have drawn its attention.
The temperature around us seemed to drop suddenly, and I could feel an invisible pressure closing in on us.
Lu Yuanbai and I stood back to back, our breaths intertwining in the darkness, each breath revealing our inner fear.
"We need to find the control room quickly," I said softly. "If what the diary says is true, there might be a way to stop the Guardian there."
Lu Yuanbai tightly grasped my hand; I could feel his determination in the dark.
"Then what are we waiting for? We can't just sit here and wait for death," he said.
So we cautiously groped our way forward, our fingers brushing against the cold walls of the carriage.
We could feel the chill beneath the metal skin, as if it too held some indifference toward our current predicament.
"I really don't understand where we should escape to," I murmured softly.
Lu Yuanbai interrupted me, saying, "We must believe that there is a way for us to escape."
We continued to move forward, each step filled with fear and uncertainty. Suddenly, the last words from the diary resurfaced in my mind: "The Guardian won't let you go easily."
A sense of foreboding instantly enveloped us. In the darkness, we could clearly hear the faint sound of chains dragging.
"Hiss..."
It was like a giant python silently slithering through the dark corridor; the sound was particularly jarring in the stillness. Lu Yuanbai held my hand tightly, and I could feel it trembling slightly.
"What on earth is that?" he whispered.
I shook my head, but deep down, I knew we had to leave this cursed place immediately. The sound of chains grew closer, accompanied by heavy footsteps, as if some colossal creature was slowly moving inside the carriage.
The entire carriage trembled slightly. Lu Yuanbai and I leaned against each other tightly; I could hear the frantic rhythm of his heartbeat.
"We need to get out of here fast!" I said anxiously.
We both ran around in a panic like headless flies.
