Chapter 248: "Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Journey of Exploring the Dark World"
Lin Xiao walked alone in the dark and deep alley. The walls around him seemed like giant beasts eroded by time, exuding a decadent and oppressive atmosphere. The moonlight tried hard to shine through the clouds, but it could only cast a few mottled light and shadows in the narrow alley, which looked particularly gloomy and terrifying.
"What the hell is this place!" Lin Xiao muttered as she looked around cautiously. Her steps were very light and slow, and each step felt like she was stepping on cotton, for fear that any sound would alarm the unknown fear hidden in the darkness.
A cool breeze blew from nowhere, brushing across Lin Xiao's neck, causing her to shiver. She hugged her arms tightly, trying to give herself a sense of warmth and security, but the chill followed her like a shadow, as if it was going to penetrate into her bones.
"Is there really something unclean?" Lin Xiao's voice trembled, her eyes filled with panic and fear. Her heartbeat was like a rapid drumbeat, which was particularly clear in the quiet alley.
Just then, she heard a very light sound of footsteps. The sound seemed like a whisper coming from the depths of hell, and it was particularly clear and strange in the quiet alley.
"Who? Who's there?" Lin Xiao shouted, her voice trembling with fear. Her eyes were wide open, full of vigilance and anxiety.
However, no one responded to her, only the footsteps were getting closer and closer, as if the countdown to death was approaching little by little.
Lin Xiao's breathing became rapid, her chest heaved violently, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Don't come over! Don't come over!" Lin Xiao waved his hands frantically, as if trying to drive away the unknown fear.
Suddenly, a dark shadow passed by her like a ghost, bringing with it a gust of eerie cool breeze.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao let out a terrified scream, turned around and ran desperately in the opposite direction.
Her footsteps were messy and hurried, and the cobblestone road under her feet made a "clattering" sound that echoed in the alley.
"Help! Is there anyone here?" Lin Xiao's voice was tearful, full of despair and helplessness.
Lin Xiao ran so hard that she was out of breath and her lungs felt like they were about to explode, but she didn't dare stop, for fear that if she stopped she would be swallowed up by the terror in the darkness.
Just when she thought she was going to run to death, she found herself running into a dead end.
"It's over, it's really over now!" Lin Xiao leaned against the wall in despair, gasping for breath. Her eyes were filled with fear and despair, and tears welled up in her eyes.
At this time, the dark shadow slowly appeared at the entrance of the alley.
"Who are you? Why are you chasing me?" Lin Xiao shouted angrily, with a hint of hysteria in his voice.
The black shadow remained silent, just walking towards Lin Xiao step by step.
As the shadow got closer, Lin Xiao finally saw his face clearly.
"How could it be you?" Lin Xiao's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. Her lips trembled, and her voice became intermittent, "You...you haven't already..."
A strange smile appeared on the black shadow's face, and that smile looked particularly eerie and terrifying in the dim light.
"Lin Xiao, do you think you can escape?" The black shadow's voice was low and hoarse, like a curse from hell.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Lin Xiao clenched his fists and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Hmph, you'll know soon." After the black shadow said this, he suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao dodged to the side and avoided the attack from the black shadow.
"Don't force me to do it!" Lin Xiao roared.
"Haha, do you think you have the ability to resist?" the black shadow laughed.
At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered a faint light behind the black shadow.
"What is that?" Lin Xiao was delighted and rushed over while the shadow was not paying attention.
When she approached the light, she found that it was a mysterious passage.
"Never mind, let's go in first!" Lin Xiao went into the passage without any hesitation.
There was a strange aroma in the passage, and mysterious runes flickered on the walls.
"What on earth is this place?" Lin Xiao's heart was filled with confusion and fear.
Suddenly, a low roar was heard in the passage.
"Oh no, there's danger again!" Lin Xiao's face turned pale.
