Chapter 247: Lin Xiao's Heart-pounding Adventure
Lin Xiao walked alone on the winding and quiet path. The trees around her were tall and dense, like silent giants, tightly surrounding her. The moonlight tried hard to penetrate the layers of leaves, but it could only cast a few spots of light, making the road seem even more blurry and unreal.
"This broken place is so eerie!" Lin Xiao muttered, her voice trembling. She hugged her arms tightly, trying to get a sense of warmth and security.
Suddenly, a nightingale seemed to be frightened and let out a shrill and sharp cry, breaking the silence of the night sky. This sudden sound made Lin Xiao shiver all over and his heartbeat accelerated instantly.
"Oh my God, this bird's cry is so scary!" Lin Xiao's face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes looked around in horror.
At this moment, she felt a mysterious and powerful force, like an invisible hand, tightly grasping her body, making her involuntarily walk towards the depths of the woods.
"What's going on? Why can't I stop?" Lin Xiao's voice was filled with despair and fear. She tried desperately to break free from the force and kicked hard on the ground with her feet, but to no avail.
As she went deeper, the fog around her seemed to be pouring out from underground, becoming thicker and thicker, spreading rapidly and completely blocking her vision. Lin Xiao felt as if she was in a white maze and could not find a way out.
"No, I can't be controlled by this force like this!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, beads of sweat the size of beans appearing on his forehead.
Just when she was about to despair, an old and dilapidated temple appeared in front of her. The door of the temple was closed, and the surrounding walls were covered with moss, emitting a smell of decay.
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, but finally plucked up the courage to step forward.
"What the hell is this place?" She reached out her trembling hand and gently touched the closed door.
Just as her hand touched the door, it slowly opened automatically. A stale and cold breath blew in her face, making her shiver.
"This...what is going on?" Lin Xiao's voice was trembling so much that it was almost unrecognizable. Her legs seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move.
Walking into the temple, it was dark and damp inside, with strange lights flickering on the walls, as if pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness were spying on her.
"Is anyone here? Where exactly is this?" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the empty temple.
Suddenly, a spooky voice sounded in her ears: "Little girl, you are finally here..."
Lin Xiao screamed in fear: "Who? Who is talking? Come out! Stop playing tricks!"
However, there was only her own echo all around her, and that voice never sounded again.
At this moment, all the lights in the temple suddenly went out, and the entire space fell into absolute darkness in an instant.
"Ah! Help!" Lin Xiao's scream rang out in the darkness, and she waved her hands frantically, trying to grab something.
In the darkness, she felt countless pairs of cold hands touching her body, and the touch made her shudder.
"Don't touch me! Don't touch me!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly while running desperately.
Suddenly, her feet slipped and she fell forward...
