“Xiao Yangxia... I... I must...” Lu Yuanbai’s voice revealed hesitation and reluctance.
His gaze shifted between me and the mark, finally resting on my face.
“I must... prioritize your safety...” His tone was gentle yet resolute.
Lu Yuanbai gently placed my hand back on the bed and slowly stood up, preparing to face the train's counterattack.
In the dim light, his figure appeared so solitary and steadfast, as if he was about to embark on a battle with an uncertain outcome.
In an instant, the shadows of the ghosts began to twist and contort, lunging at Lu Yuanbai like a ferocious beast.
However, Lu Yuanbai showed no signs of retreat; he swung the iron rod in his hand and bravely engaged in a thrilling battle with the ghosts.
In the darkness, his silhouette resembled a raging flame, desperately trying to drive away the surrounding heavy darkness.
As the battle escalated, Lu Yuanbai gradually sensed that these ghosts seemed to have some intention, as if they were deliberately trying to lead him into a specific area of the train.
“Could this be the truth that the train wants me to witness firsthand...” Lu Yuanbai pondered deep within.
Thus, he proceeded in the direction indicated by the ghosts while remaining highly vigilant against any unforeseen circumstances.
The fierce battle with the ghosts intensified, and Lu Yuanbai could even clearly feel his strength rapidly depleting.
He was almost on the brink of despair when suddenly, a beam of light pierced through the dark horizon.
Then, a voice emerged amidst the noise, tinged with urgency: “Hey! Sir, quickly use this.”
Lu Yuanbai looked up to see the mysterious passenger from earlier before him.
The mysterious passenger waved gently at him and then tossed him an object that glimmered faintly.
“What is this?” Lu Yuanbai asked in confusion.
The mysterious passenger’s voice remained calm as water: “This object can help you disperse these ghosts.”
Skeptical yet hopeful, Lu Yuanbai took the glowing object and instantly felt a warm surge of power flow into his body.
He swung it, and those originally fierce ghosts began to retreat, revealing a hint of fear.
Lu Yuanbai and the mysterious passenger quickly gathered together, standing back-to-back to fend off the ghostly assaults from all sides.
Their dialogue was concise and clear, each word reflecting deep trust and unwavering determination between them.
Lu Yuanbai: “Thank you for your help.”
Mysterious Passenger: "May I ask where you two are headed?"
Lu Yuanbai: "We are trying to get to the train's control room, but we are lost."
Mysterious Passenger: "I know how to get there. Follow me."
With that, he turned around and led Lu Yuanbai forward. Lu Yuanbai held onto me tightly, following closely behind him without a moment's hesitation.
Under the guidance of the mysterious passenger, Lu Yuanbai navigated through the eerie and strange corridors of the train, feeling a mix of anxiety as he clutched me.
At this moment, he was acutely aware of the dire situation; my life was like a flickering candle in the wind, and only by uncovering the secrets surrounding me could there be a glimmer of hope.
Lu Yuanbai tightly grasped the mark he found on me; its faint glow appeared particularly bright in the darkness, like a beacon of hope.
