Chapter 229: "A Shocking Change in the Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Decision"
Lin Xiao stood alone on the top of the mountain that towered into the clouds. The wind howled like a mad beast, tearing her clothes and hair mercilessly. Her originally delicate face was now full of determination and confusion, and her eyes were full of stubbornness, but also mixed with a hint of helplessness.
"What the hell is this place? How did I get dragged here for no reason?" Lin Xiao clenched his fists and roared at the strong wind.
The gorgeous brocade robe she was wearing rustled in the wind, and the silk threads at the corners of her clothes seemed to be trembling. The mysterious sword in her hand was flashing with a strange light, and the runes flowing on the sword seemed to be telling an ancient and mysterious story.
At this moment, a strange light suddenly flashed across the sky, as if tearing through the night sky. Immediately afterwards, an ethereal yet majestic voice exploded in her ears: "Lin Xiao, your wheel of destiny has begun to turn rapidly. In the fog ahead, there is a shocking secret that can subvert the entire world."
Lin Xiao's heart suddenly shook, and his face was instantly filled with astonishment. His mouth opened slightly, but he didn't know what to say. "What? What's going on? Why me?"
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then walked towards the mysterious fog with firm but slightly trembling steps. With each step she took, the air around her seemed to become heavier, as if invisible pressure was pressing in from all directions.
The moment she stepped into the mist, the surrounding scenery changed instantly like a dream. The originally barren mountain peak instantly turned into a bustling and noisy city, but this city was full of strange atmosphere.
The pedestrians on the street passed by in a hurry like a tide, their faces were expressionless, their eyes were empty, like puppets without souls. Lin Xiao frowned tightly, his heart full of doubts and vigilance.
"What is going on? Why are these people like zombies?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but talk to himself.
At this moment, a mysterious man appeared in front of her like a ghost. The man was wearing a black robe with complex and mysterious patterns embroidered on it. He wore a silver mask on his face, revealing only a pair of eyes as deep as a cold pool.
"Lin Xiao, you're finally here." The man's voice was deep and magnetic, as if carrying an irresistible magic.
Lin Xiao subconsciously took a step back, holding the sword tightly in his hands with both hands, his eyes full of vigilance, and asked loudly: "Who are you? Why do you know my name?"
The man smiled slightly, and the smile looked particularly strange under the mask. "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you are about to face a difficult decision that will determine the survival of the entire world."
As he spoke, the man waved his hand gently, and the surrounding scene changed dramatically again. A huge screen appeared out of thin air in the air, showing two completely different pictures.
In one picture, the world is shrouded in endless darkness, with raging winds, lightning and thunder, and the earth cracking. People are struggling desperately in pain, with shouts and cries intertwined, like hell on earth.
In another picture, the world is filled with warm sunshine, flowers are blooming, birds are singing, people's faces are filled with happy smiles, and children are running and playing happily on the grass. It is a peaceful and tranquil scene.
"Lin Xiao, you can choose one of the pictures as the future of this world. But remember, your choice will determine everything." The man's voice echoed in the air, carrying a heavy pressure.
Lin Xiao stared at the two images with eyes wide open, with an expression of disbelief on her face. Her lips trembled slightly, and she was in an extreme struggle.
"How do I choose? This is too ridiculous!" Lin Xiao's voice was filled with anger and helplessness.
She paced back and forth on the spot, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her hands kept rubbing the corners of her clothes.
"If I make the wrong choice, the consequences will be disastrous! But how do I know which one is right?" Lin Xiao muttered to himself.
As time passed, Lin Xiao became more and more anxious. Her eyes were sometimes firm and sometimes hesitant.
At this moment, the mysterious man spoke again: "Time is running out, Lin Xiao, you must make a choice as soon as possible."
Lin Xiao suddenly raised his head, looked at the man with a firm gaze, and said loudly: "No matter what, I will definitely make a choice that is worthy of my conscience!"
