Chapter 239: Lin Xiao's Crazy Escape
Lin Xiao was trapped in the eerie castle, as if the giant hand of darkness was tightly grasping his fate. The dim moonlight was like a thin veil, weakly penetrating through the narrow window gap, illuminating only a small corner of the house.
"What the hell is this place? How could I be so unlucky to fall into this horrible trap!" Lin Xiao's voice trembled with endless fear and despair. Her eyes were full of panic, her hands kept shaking, and her body was tightly pressed against the cold and damp wall, as if she could find a sense of security in this way.
Suddenly, a cold and eerie wind whistled from the darkness like a ghost, and the chill instantly penetrated Lin Xiao's bones. She couldn't help but shivered violently, and her teeth began to chatter.
"Wuwuwu..." A faint and miserable cry echoed in the castle. The sound seemed to come from the Netherworld, filled with endless pain and sorrow. Lin Xiao's heartbeat accelerated instantly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
"Who? Who is crying? Come out if you have the guts and stop playing tricks here!" Lin Xiao shouted hysterically. Her voice kept echoing in the empty castle, but she received no response. Only the crying became more and more miserable, like a sharp knife, constantly piercing her nerves.
At this moment, a huge black bat flew over her head like a ghost, bringing with it a gust of cold air. Lin Xiao screamed in fear, squatted down suddenly, and hugged her head tightly with both hands.
"Ah! Help! What the hell is this place!" Lin Xiao's voice changed and tears welled up in his eyes.
When she calmed down a little, she stood up slowly, but her legs were still shaking. She moved forward carefully, and every step was filled with fear and hesitation. The wooden floor under her feet made a creaking sound, as if telling the long and terrifying history of this castle.
"This place is so weird, I have to find a way out quickly, otherwise I will really die here!" Lin Xiao muttered to himself, his voice full of despair and helplessness.
She walked into a room and was hit by a pungent stench that almost made her vomit on the spot. There was a shabby bed in the room, and the bedding on the bed was already tattered and exuded a disgusting smell.
"Ugh...what's this smell? It's almost suffocating me!" Lin Xiao covered his mouth and nose and couldn't help cursing.
Just then, she found something glittering under the bed. The light looked particularly strange in the darkness, as if calling her.
"What is this? Could it be a clue to a way out?" With a glimmer of hope, Lin Xiao bent down curiously and reached out to take it.
When her hand just touched the object, suddenly, a dry hand like a branch stretched out from under the bed and grabbed her wrist tightly. The hand was icy cold and had amazing strength.
"Ah! Help!" Lin Xiao struggled desperately, and his face turned pale in an instant, like a piece of white paper.
"Let me go! Who are you? Why are you arresting me!" Lin Xiao shouted in horror, his voice becoming sharp because of extreme fear.
The hand did not move at all, holding her tightly, as if to drag her into endless darkness.
"No! I can't let you catch me like this!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and used all his strength to break free.
Just when she felt almost in despair, a mysterious light suddenly lit up in the room like lightning. The light was strong and dazzling, instantly illuminating the entire room.
Lin Xiao was blinded by the sudden light.
"What is going on?" Lin Xiao's heart was filled with confusion and fear.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place...
