Chapter 243: "Fantasy World Explosion: Lin Xiao's Horrifying Night in the Castle"
Lin Xiao stood alone in front of the eerie castle. The night was like a huge black curtain, covering the whole world tightly without a single crack. The moon was completely covered by thick dark clouds, and the few glimmers of light were ruthlessly swallowed by the darkness. The surroundings fell into a creepy darkness, as if even the air was condensed with fear.
"What a shabby place this is. It feels like the set of a horror movie!" Lin Xiao frowned, her face full of fear and anxiety. She held a thick wooden stick tightly in both hands. The stick seemed to be her only support in the endless darkness, and also her last straw. The wind whistled past, like the roar of a devil, blowing the corners of her clothes wildly, as if trying to drag her into the endless dark abyss.
Suddenly, a pitch-black crow flew over her head with a "whoa" sound. The sound was sharp and piercing, as if it was a call from hell. Lin Xiao was so scared that she trembled all over and almost threw the stick in her hand away.
"Oh my God, I'm scared to death!" Lin Xiao screamed, her voice trembling violently.
At this moment, the heavy door of the castle slowly opened, making a teeth-grinding "creaking" sound. This sound was particularly clear in the silent night, as if the door to hell was slowly opening. Lin Xiao hesitated again and again, but finally gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and walked in with trembling steps.
As soon as she stepped into the castle, a strong smell of old decay wrapped her tightly like an invisible net. The hall was empty, with only a few shaky oil lamps, the weak light flickered in the darkness, as if it would go out at any time. The shadows on the wall twisted like ghosts, making people shudder.
"This place is too weird. Could there be some unclean things here?" Lin Xiao muttered softly as he moved cautiously and glanced around vigilantly.
Suddenly, she heard a slight sound of footsteps. The sound echoed in the empty hall, as if countless pairs of invisible feet were walking.
"Who? Who's there? Come out!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice full of fear and trembling.
However, the only answer she got was the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer. Every step seemed to step on her heart, making her heart beat rapidly.
Lin Xiao's forehead was covered with cold sweat. She tightly grasped the wooden stick in her hand, and her palms were full of sweat.
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!" Lin Xiao's voice was filled with tears, and his body involuntarily stepped back.
At this moment, a dark figure slowly walked out from the darkness. Lin Xiao widened his eyes, trying to see the dark figure clearly, but found that the dark figure's face was blurry, as if shrouded in a layer of mist.
Lin Xiao raised the stick tremblingly and shouted at the shadow: "Who are you? Stop playing tricks!"
The shadow did not answer, but slowly raised a hand and pointed behind Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao was startled and turned her head suddenly, only to find that there was nothing behind her. When she turned her head again to look at the shadow, the shadow had disappeared!
Lin Xiao's heartbeat became faster and faster, and she felt a mysterious force pulling her deeper into the castle. She wanted to resist, but found that her body seemed to be out of control and she moved her feet involuntarily.
In the corridor leading to the depths of the castle, Lin Xiao saw a series of strange murals depicting various strange scenes, including battles between demons and angels, mysterious magic rituals, and some strange creatures she had never seen before.
Just as Lin Xiao was concentrating on observing the mural, he suddenly heard a woman crying. The cry was miserable and sad, and it was particularly clear in this silent castle. Lin Xiao walked in the direction of the cry and came to the door of a closed room.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly opened the door. The room was filled with a pungent smell of blood, and Lin Xiao saw a woman in a white dress sitting on the bed with her back to her, crying.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Lin Xiao asked tremblingly.
The woman slowly turned her head, and Lin Xiao was horrified to find that there were no facial features on her face!
Lin Xiao was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly, but accidentally bumped into a hard object. She looked back and saw that it was a huge coffin!
The coffin lid slowly opened, and a powerful force sucked Lin Xiao in. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a mysterious space, with strange lights flashing all around.
In this space, Lin Xiao saw a handsome man, whose eyes revealed endless sadness and deep affection.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Lin Xiao asked.
The man slowly spoke: "I have waited for you for a thousand years, just to see you again."
Lin Xiao looked confused: "I don't know you at all!"
The man smiled and said, "Don't you remember the promise we made in our previous life? We swore to be together for all eternity."
At this moment, the space suddenly trembled violently, and countless dark forces attacked them. The man held Lin Xiao tightly in his arms and cast a powerful spell to fight against the dark forces.
In the fierce battle, Lin Xiao gradually discovered that she seemed to possess mysterious power. Under the guidance of the man, she gradually awakened her own power and fought side by side with the man.
However, the dark power became stronger and stronger, and they gradually fell into trouble. At the critical moment, Lin Xiao discovered the flaw of the dark power, and joined hands with the man to strike, and finally completely eliminated the dark power.
When everything calmed down, Lin Xiao and the man hugged and cried. However, what they didn't know was that a bigger crisis was quietly approaching...
