Chapter 152: "The Fantasy World: Lin Xiaomoyu's Horrifying Night in the Castle"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood there, their hands unconsciously twisted together, their eyes full of fear and hesitation. She said in a trembling voice: "Mo Yu, why do I feel that this place is very weird, it feels like I can't get out once I go in!"
Mo Yu looked solemn, staring firmly at the gate of the castle, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, Lin Xiao, I'm here, and nothing will happen to you."
The two of them carefully stepped onto the stairs leading to the castle. Every step seemed to be on the edge of a knife. The tense atmosphere made it almost hard to breathe.
"Oh my, why are these stairs so eerie? They feel like they're going to swallow me up!" Lin Xiao's voice was shaking.
Mo Yu held her hand tightly, giving her a touch of warmth and strength.
Finally, they arrived at the gate of the castle. The heavy wooden door seemed to hide countless secrets and dangers. Mo Yu took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
"Squeak--" A shrill sound seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night. A rotten smell came to Lin Xiao's face, choking him and making him cough.
"Cough, cough, cough, what's this smell? It's almost suffocating!" Lin Xiao complained while coughing.
Walking into the castle hall, the dim light made it almost impossible for them to see the surroundings. Only a few swaying oil lamps emitted a faint light, adding a somewhat eerie atmosphere to the entire hall.
"Oh my God, it's too dark. I can't see anything!" Lin Xiao was so scared that he hugged Mo Yu's arm tightly.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, the oil lamp went out instantly, and the hall fell into darkness.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fright, and the sound broke the silence of the night sky.
Mo Yu quickly protected her behind him, looked around vigilantly, and said, "Don't be afraid, Lin Xiao, there might be something."
Just then, a strange sound came from the darkness, like something was moving slowly, making a rustling sound.
"Mo Yu, is there a monster? I'm scared!" Lin Xiao's voice was tearful.
Mo Yu clenched the sword in his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I will protect you."
They continued to grope their way forward. The ground beneath their feet felt bumpy and it seemed as if they might fall at any time.
"Oh, why is this road so difficult to walk on!" Lin Xiao staggered and almost fell.
Mo Yu supported her in time, "Be careful, Lin Xiao."
After finally arriving at the door of a room, Lin Xiao was about to reach out to push the door, but Mo Yu quickly stopped her.
"Wait, Lin Xiao, be careful, there may be danger." Mo Yu's voice was low and serious.
Mo Yu pushed open the door carefully, and a pungent smell instantly rushed out.
"Wow, what's that smell? It's even worse than before!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but pinching his nose.
The room was filled with all kinds of strange utensils and bottles and jars, and there were some weird portraits hanging on the walls, which made people feel creepy.
"What are these? It makes my scalp tingle." Lin Xiao shrank his neck.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past them from behind.
"Who?" Mo Yu quickly turned around and swung his sword, but hit nothing.
Lin Xiao's heart was in his throat. He grabbed the corner of Mo Yu's clothes tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Mo Yu, I'm so scared!"
At this moment, a huge cabinet in the room suddenly opened by itself, and a mysterious light emanated from it.
"This...what is this?" Lin Xiao widened his eyes, full of curiosity and fear.
Mo Yu took a deep breath and said, "I don't know, but maybe it's the key to solving the mystery."
Just as they were about to approach the cabinet, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.
"Oh no, what's going on?" Lin Xiao shouted in panic.
Mo Yu pulled Lin Xiao and tried to find a safe place.
The entire castle seemed to be shaking, and stones on the walls fell off.
"Mo Yu, will we die here?" Lin Xiao said in a crying voice.
Mo Yu comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Lin Xiao, we will definitely find a way out."
At this moment, a mysterious voice sounded in their ears...
