For safety reasons, the basket could only carry two people down at a time. Ram and Adel were the first to go, followed by Xinghe and Gao Yuan.
Sitting in the basket, clutching the handrails and looking at the pitch-black rocks around him, with dazzling searchlights above and a bottomless, dark abyss below, Gao Yuan felt an inexplicable panic grip him as he began the descent into the cave.
Xinghe suddenly grabbed Gao Yuan's hand, then leaned her entire body against him, causing the basket to tilt slightly.
Gao Yuan became even more scared. He immediately grabbed Xinghe's shoulder and said with a trembling voice, "Don't come over, be careful or the basket might tip over, and we could fall to our deaths."
Xinghe let out a deep sigh and then said softly, "Gao Yuan, what do you think..."
She didn't finish her sentence, and Gao Yuan asked curiously, "What?"
"Do you know what a world without emotions would be like?"
"Uh, I don't know, I can't even imagine it."
