Chapter 80: Lin Xiao's desperate decision in the Fantasy World
The moonlight was like water, gently sprinkling over the vast land of the Fantasy World Continent, but it failed to bring a ray of light to the haze in Lin Xiao's heart. She wandered alone in this quiet and strange forest. The thick fog around her was like a heavy veil, blurring her vision. Every step forward was filled with uncertainty and fear.
Lin Xiao's steps were heavy and slow, as if she was dragging a heavy burden. She frowned, her eyes were full of confusion and anxiety, and she muttered to herself: "What is going on? How did I come to this hellhole inexplicably? This routine of time travel is too deceptive! I was living a prosperous life in modern times, watching TV series, shopping online, eating delicious food, and my life was very happy. Now I am trapped in this remote place, without even a mobile phone signal. I am so unlucky!" While complaining, she kicked the stone at her feet irritably, and the stone rolled into the grass and disappeared.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew without warning, and the leaves rustled, as if whispering some unspeakable secret. Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver. She hugged her arms tightly, trying to give herself some insignificant warmth. "Why is the wind so cold and spooky? Is there something unclean?" Her voice trembled with deep fear.
At this moment, a mysterious and eerie voice sounded quietly in her ears: "Lin Xiao, your fate has already been determined."
Lin Xiao turned around in horror, her eyes wide open, only to find that there was no one behind her. "Who? Who's talking? Come out if you have the guts, don't hide!" She shouted loudly, her voice echoing in the silent forest, but only her own voice responded to her.
"Don't waste your energy, Lin Xiao. You can't escape the cage of fate." The voice came again, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, a trace of stubbornness and unyieldingness flashed in his eyes: "I don't believe in fate! My life is in my own hands! I must get out of this hellhole and return to my original life!"
She quickened her pace, desperately trying to escape from this horrible place. However, no matter how she walked, she seemed to be just going in circles. "What on earth is going on? Am I trapped in some kind of maze?" Lin Xiao stamped her feet anxiously, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly found an ancient and mysterious castle in front of him. The gate of the castle was closed, and there was a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere around it, as if it was the entrance to hell.
"What is hidden in this castle? Is it salvation or deeper despair?" Lin Xiao hesitated, his heart full of contradictions and struggles.
Finally, her strong curiosity drove her to go and find out. She approached the castle cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution, as if there was a trap under her feet that could collapse at any time.
She gently pushed open the castle's door, and the door hinge made a dull and long sound, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night. Inside the door, it was pitch black, and she couldn't see her hand in front of her face, as if a huge black mouth was waiting to swallow her.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to walk into the castle. The castle was filled with a rotten smell that made people sick. The torches on the wall flickered with a strange blue light, reflecting the distorted shadows on the wall, as if a demon was baring its fangs and claws.
"What the hell is this place? It feels like I'm in a haunted house!" Lin Xiao's heart was in his throat and his voice trembled even more violently.
At this moment, a dark shadow passed by her quickly, bringing a gust of cool wind. Lin Xiao turned around abruptly, but saw nothing. "Who? Come out! Don't play tricks!" She shouted loudly, her voice full of fear and anger.
"Hahahaha..." The mysterious laughter sounded again, echoing in the castle, making people feel creepy.
Lin Xiao's heartbeat quickened rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. She clenched her sword tightly, her body tense, and vigilantly observed the movements around her.
Suddenly, a heavy sound of footsteps came, getting closer and closer, and every step seemed to step on her heart. Lin Xiao swallowed nervously, and the sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks.
A figure in a black robe slowly appeared in front of her. The black robe covered his entire body, so his face could not be seen clearly.
"Lin Xiao, you are finally here." The voice of the man in black robe was low and hoarse, as if it came from the abyss of Hell.
Lin Xiao looked at the other person warily, and asked in a trembling but firm voice: "Who are you? Why do you know my name?"
The man in black robe sneered, his voice was chilling: "Your life or death depends on my thoughts."
Lin Xiao glared at him and shouted, "It's not that easy to kill me! I, Lin Xiao, am not someone you can easily bully!"
After that, she brandished her sword and rushed towards the man in black robe without hesitation. The man in black robe dodged her attack easily by moving sideways.
"Is that all you can do?" the man in black robe sneered.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and attacked again. The two of them instantly fell into a fierce fight...
