Moonlight streamed down the dark alley, casting a tranquil aura. However, Yun Mengting and Ling Xuan's moods were like dark clouds, surging undercurrents. They raced through the darkness, the presence of the black-clad figures closing in behind them. Those darting shadows, like hunters, locked onto unsuspecting prey.

"Quick! Turn right!" Yun Mengting made a split-second decision and turned to run into a narrow alley. Compared to the square on the left, the hidden alley on the right seemed safer. She knew that only by sneaking in the darkness could she have a chance of survival.

Ling Xuan followed closely behind, the two of them gliding through the night like fleeting wind. Ahead lay a closed wooden door, which, along with a wall of forgotten debris, formed a relatively safe haven. Ling Xuan pushed the door open with force, and with a soft click, they swiftly burst into the dark warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with a stale smell, empty and silent, as if hiding too many unknown secrets. The two men stood there nervously, their minds rapidly calculating how to survive.

"We need to contact a trustworthy ally to break the current deadlock." Just as he finished speaking, there were several rapid knocks on the door. A deep voice echoed like thunder in the silent room: "Are you in there?"

"Don't move, stay quiet!" Ling Xuan's heart instantly tightened. He held his breath and cautiously approached the window, trying to discern the movements outside. The men in black kept approaching, their presence like a sword hanging over his head, suffocating him.

"If you don't come out, don't blame me for being rude!" The cold voice was threatening and then forced into the warm air, making the two people's hearts tighten suddenly.

"We have to find a way to deal with this!" Ling Xuan muttered, his eyes gleaming with determination. He quickly glanced around, trying to find an opportunity to hide. At that moment, he noticed a pile of abandoned debris, and an idea flashed through his mind.

"We can use these as a disguise." He gestured towards the broken furniture. "We can pretend that no one is here."

Yun Mengting nodded in agreement, thinking that this might be their best option for temporary safety. The two of them began to work, quickly moving the debris to the door, piecing together a decent cover.

"Quick, get ready!" Ling Xuan whispered, breaking the tense atmosphere. Even though they felt a little uneasy, they still tried their best to ensure there were no loopholes.

"Come in and take a look at this farmer surrounded by darkness." The voice outside became more urgent, as if forcing them, making the tension in the air more obvious.

"Be prepared, attack at any moment!" Ling Xuan warned, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. Yun Mengting took a deep breath, her heart pounding, feeling a mixture of anticipation and fear at the prospect of facing the unknown.

Just then, the door flung open, revealing a man in black. The figure, appearing suddenly, wore a cruel smile as he scanned the warehouse, a disdainful smirk playing at the corner of his mouth. "I finally found you. Are you ready for trial?"

Time seemed to freeze in that instant. Yun Mengting's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, the impact of reality almost making her unable to react. But at this moment, Ling Xuan was already ready to strike, swiftly rushing towards the man in black, determined not to give him any chance to react.

"No matter how many obstacles lie ahead, we must face them together!" Yun Mengting muttered to herself, and then took a step forward to join this silent confrontation.

Facing unknown threats, she understands that only by fighting side by side can she find a glimmer of hope amidst this turbulent undercurrent. Her fate and Ling Xuan's are intertwined in this endless darkness. No matter how treacherous the road ahead, they will fearlessly forge ahead together.
