The conductor was startled by my shout and quickly walked over. "What's wrong?"
I gritted my teeth and waved him off, then shoved the Route Map in front of him, pointing at the already extinguished red dot to get his attention.
The conductor glanced at it and understood. "If it didn't stop, then it didn't stop. This train has reached its destination; let's get off first."
With that, he grabbed my arm, trying to lead me off the train.
"Wait a minute!" I shook off his hand. "This train should have stopped at Daqingyan! It always stops at Daqingyan!"
The conductor, now slightly annoyed after I pushed him away, said, "What’s wrong with you? Are you having some kind of mental issue?"
"I’m fine! I’ve taken this train twice before, and both times it missed the stop. If you don’t believe me, check the surveillance!"
The conductor frowned, his face showing disbelief. "I've worked here for many years and have never skipped a stop. You think just because you say it didn’t stop, it didn’t? I could just as easily say it stopped at more stations!"
"You..." I was at a loss for words, shocked that he didn’t believe me.
"Alright, alright, just don’t interfere with my work. Let’s get off the train." The conductor insisted as he tried to pull me down with him.
I sighed, realizing that arguing further would be pointless, so I followed him off the train.
Once on the platform, it was eerily empty—just me, the conductor, and a Safety Officer standing nearby.
"Sir, I suggest you come with me to the police station," the Safety Officer said as he pulled out a baton and looked at me sternly.
“Wait!” I stopped him. “I’m not crazy; I just want to know why the train didn’t stop at Daqingyan Station!”
“No comment,” the Safety Officer replied sternly. “You need to come with me right now.”
I gritted my teeth, wanting to say more, but a commotion in the carriage interrupted me. It sounded like a woman screaming.
I turned to look and saw a woman in a short skirt being dragged out by a man who had a tight grip on her hair.
Taking a deep breath to calm myself, I said, “Listen, I’m really not crazy; I just want to understand what’s going on.”
The Safety Officer tapped his baton against the car wall. “I told you, no comment. Now come with me.”
“Have you ever thought about why the train skipped a stop?” I asked.
“I work here every day; I know this route well. There’s absolutely no problem,” he replied, his expression unyielding. “If you say there is a problem, then tell me what it is.”
“…” My mouth felt dry, and I didn’t know how to respond.
“You see? You can’t even explain yourself,” the Safety Officer said, maintaining his stern demeanor.
I pressed my lips together and squatted against the wall, cradling my head in my arms. What on earth is happening?! Why doesn’t anyone believe me? Am I really losing my mind? But I’m not crazy!
I clenched my teeth in frustration, wishing I could scream. Suddenly, I stood up abruptly and turned to leave.
“Where are you going?” the Safety Officer followed me closely.
"I don't care what kind of hell this place is, I'm getting out of here right now! I really don't believe I can't leave this damn place!" I gritted my teeth and strode towards the exit.
The Safety Officer followed closely beside me. "Maybe you're just remembering it wrong? Why don't you think it over again?"
I burst through the ticket gate and froze when I saw the elevator in front of me. The attendant was gone. It was just me standing there, facing the elevator, completely at a loss.
The numbers on the elevator panel were changing, finally stopping at the first floor. I pressed my lips together and waited for a moment, but the elevator didn't come up.
I couldn't help but curse under my breath as I dashed towards the elevator, turned, and ran upwards. I couldn't wait any longer!
It was only after I ran up that I realized this wasn't the elevator I had come up in before! It was the one going down to the basement!
