After the three of us escaped through the magical light gate, we were all panting and exhausted, and the tension still hadn't completely faded. 0
 
I glanced around, realizing that the guards wouldn't let us off so easily; they might be coming after us any moment now. 0
 
"Do you think they'll chase us?" Old Li asked me. 0
 
I nodded, indicating that it was very likely. 0
 
"We need to get moving and find some useful clues." 0
 
Old Li agreed with my assessment, his eyes scanning the surroundings continuously. 0
 
"We need to find a safe place to study this diary and see if we can uncover more secrets about this city." 0
 
Xiao Jie crouched down, carefully examining some marks on the ground. 0
 
"These marks look like they were made by machinery," he said quietly. "The traps and mechanisms here might be more complex than we thought." 0
 
I took out the diary and flipped to the marked pages. 0
 
"It mentions some things about the central area of the city; there might be great secrets and mysterious powers hidden there." 0
 
So we decided to head in that direction while staying alert for the guards' pursuit. 0
 
Just as we were about to set off, we suddenly heard a low rumbling sound coming from the direction of the light gate. 0
 
We turned around and saw several guards had already crossed through the gate, staring at us. 0
 
"Run!" I shouted loudly. 0
 
We immediately scattered, using the various buildings and winding streets of the city to evade the guards chasing us. 0
 
During our escape, we discovered some strange symbols and patterns that seemed somewhat related to the puzzles we had solved earlier but were also different. 0
 
"What do these symbols mean?" Old Li squinted, studying them closely. 0
 
I shook my head, equally puzzled. 0
 
However, Xiao Jie seemed to have figured something out. 0
 
"These symbols... they look like they're guiding us to the center of the city." 0
 
Old Li and I looked at Xiao Jie in surprise. 0
 
"Are you sure?" 0
 
 
Little Jie nodded. 0
"I've seen some symbols from ancient civilizations before. They look a bit like the puzzles we've solved, but there's also some difference." 0
"It seems like they are telling us that to uncover the secrets of this city, we need to go deeper into it." 0
I thought for a moment and a bold idea popped into my mind. 0
"Let's follow these symbols and venture into the city." 0
We ran wildly, with others chasing closely behind us, until we finally reached a huge square. 0
This square was indeed vast, with a tall tower in the center that looked particularly grand. 0
The tower was covered in various strange reliefs and symbols, which glowed under the moonlight at night, giving it a mysterious feel. 0
Standing in the square and looking up at this towering structure, I felt immense admiration. 0
"This is the heart of the city and our only hope of escaping." 0
Old Li nodded, his eyes filled with determination. 0
"We need to break into this tower and uncover its secrets." 0
Little Jie hesitated. 0
"But how do we get in?" 0
I pointed to a stone door at the base of the tower. 0
"That should be the entrance." 0
We approached the tower and saw the stone door covered in various strange symbols. 0
I quickly took out my notebook to see if there were any clues. 0
