Chapter 26 "Mystery of the Fantasy World: The Secret of Lin Xiao's Life"
The night was like thick ink, wrapping the whole world tightly, as if to swallow up all the light. Lin Xiao walked alone on this quiet and gloomy path. The darkness around her seemed to have life, quietly spreading and eroding every inch of her skin.
Her steps were a little heavy, and each step was like stepping on cotton, empty and powerless. The moonlight shone through the mottled leaves, like tiny silver flakes on her body, but it could not bring her the slightest warmth. Lin Xiao's face was as pale as paper, her brows were tightly knitted together, forming a deep "chuan" character, and her eyes were filled with endless worry and fear.
"What is going on? Why do I always feel like there is a pair of eyes staring at me in the dark? Am I hallucinating?" Lin Xiao muttered to herself, her voice trembling like a leaf in the wind. As she spoke, she unconsciously quickened her pace and her breathing became rapid.
Suddenly, a cool breeze whistled past, rustling the leaves, as if the devil was whispering in his ear. Lin Xiao couldn't help shivering and hugged his arms tightly.
"Oh my god, this wind is so weird!" she exclaimed, and her voice was particularly abrupt in the quiet night.
At this time, a nightingale on a branch let out a shrill cry, the sound was so sharp that it seemed to pierce Lin Xiao's eardrums. Lin Xiao was so scared that he trembled all over and almost stumbled to the ground.
"Is this nightingale also possessed by an evil spirit?" She looked around with her eyes wide open in horror.
Lin Xiao continued to walk forward, her heart in her throat. As she walked, an old and dilapidated temple appeared in front of her. The temple door was closed, and the copper ring on the door was rusty, as if it had experienced countless years of erosion. The surrounding area was full of spider webs, which flickered strangely in the moonlight.
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, but finally took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the heavy door.
"Squeak--" The door hinge made a dull and long sound, like a sigh from ancient times. The temple was filled with an old and decayed smell that made people want to vomit. The weak candlelight swayed in the wind, reflecting the blurred, weird and distorted murals on the wall.
Lin Xiao walked into the temple carefully, each step was as light as a cat's, for fear of disturbing some unknown existence. Suddenly, she heard a very light sound of footsteps behind her, and the sound seemed to be deliberately suppressed by someone.
"Who is it? Stop playing tricks! Come out!" Lin Xiao turned around and shouted. Her voice echoed in the empty temple, but there was no response.
At this moment, a mysterious and eerie voice sounded in her ears: "Lin Xiao, you can't escape..."
Lin Xiao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. Dense beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead and kept flowing down her cheeks.
"Who are you? Why are you pestering me?" Lin Xiao's voice was tearful and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
However, the only answer she got was dead silence.
Lin Xiao suppressed her fear, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh.
"I'm not afraid of you. If you have the guts, come out!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice full of anger and courage.
She continued to move forward cautiously, and suddenly saw a huge statue. There was a strange light flashing in the eyes of the statue, as if it was watching her every move.
"What...what the hell is this thing?" Lin Xiao widened his eyes in horror, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, the statue's mouth slowly opened, and a mysterious scroll appeared inside.
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to reach out and pick up the scroll. The moment she touched the scroll, a powerful and mysterious force suddenly sucked her in.
When Lin Xiao opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange and chaotic space. There was endless darkness all around, without a trace of light, as if it was the end of the universe.
"Where is this? How can I get out?" Lin Xiao shouted anxiously, his voice full of despair and helplessness.
At this moment, a familiar figure slowly emerged. It was Mo Yu!
"Mo Yu, why are you here?" Lin Xiao asked in surprise, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Mo Yu's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and his eyes revealed complex emotions, including helplessness, pain, and a hint of imperceptible pity.
"Lin Xiao, it's time to tell you something." Mo Yu took a deep breath and said slowly.
Lin Xiao's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"
Mo Yu was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words.
"In fact, your life experience hides a shocking secret. You are not a child from an ordinary family. Your family has an extremely mysterious and powerful background." Mo Yu's voice was low and heavy.
Lin Xiao widened his eyes and looked at Mo Yu in disbelief. "What did you say? I don't believe it!"
Mo Yu shook his head helplessly. "This is true. Your family holds a mysterious power that can change the entire world. Therefore, it has attracted countless covetousness and pursuit."
Lin Xiao's mind was in a mess. "What about my parents? Where are they?"
Mo Yu sighed. "Your parents sent you to this world to protect you. But they themselves..."
Lin Xiao burst into tears. "No! This is not true!"
Mo Yu walked forward and gently patted Lin Xiao's shoulder. "Lin Xiao, you have to be strong. Now, you have been discovered by those people, and they will not let you go."
Lin Xiao bit her lip, her eyes revealing determination. "I won't be afraid of them! I must find out the truth and avenge my parents!"
Mo Yu nodded. "Okay, I will help you. But this road is full of dangers and unknowns, you have to be mentally prepared."
At this moment, the darkness around them suddenly surged, as if countless monsters were approaching them.
"Be careful!" Mo Yu shouted and protected Lin Xiao behind him.
Lin Xiao grasped the corner of Mo Yu's clothes tightly, and his heart beat rapidly.
"What on earth is this?" Lin Xiao asked in horror.
Mo Yu looked solemn. "I don't know, but we must rush out!"
As he spoke, Mo Yu drew out his sword, ready for the upcoming battle...
