Chapter 306 "Fantasy World Shock: Lin Xiao's Castle Secrets"
Lin Xiao stood alone in front of the eerie castle. The night was like a huge black curtain, covering the whole world tightly. The moon seemed to be covered by an invisible hand, only sparingly shedding a few faint rays of light, making the surrounding scene even more shadowy and weird. The wind was like a naughty child, pulling at Lin Xiao's clothes and hair wantonly, making a whirring sound, as if mocking her maliciously.
Lin Xiao's brows were tightly knitted into a "川" shape, and her eyes were full of vigilance and anxiety. She wrapped herself tightly in the tattered cloak, as if it was her only shelter in this terrifying atmosphere. "This damn place, why does it feel so gloomy, as if it is haunted." She muttered softly and couldn't help shivering.
She carefully raised her foot and stepped towards the old and heavy door. The copper ring on the door had long been rusted, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. Lin Xiao took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to reach out and gently pushed the door.
"Squeak--" The door hinge made a creepy dull sound, as if it was a whine from hell. A strong smell of old and decayed air rushed towards him, and Lin Xiao was choked and coughed repeatedly.
"Cough, cough, cough, this smell is so suffocating!" She complained while fanning her hands in front of her face desperately, trying to dispel the unpleasant smell.
Walking into the castle, the hall was empty, with only a few shaky oil lamps emitting dim light. The weak light struggled in the darkness, as if it would be swallowed by the darkness at any time. Lin Xiao's footsteps echoed in the empty hall, making a crisp sound, and every step seemed to be stepping on her own heart, making her heartbeat accelerate involuntarily.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, the oil lamp went out instantly, and the whole hall was plunged into suffocating darkness.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fear, her voice echoing in the darkness, sounding particularly shrill. "What the hell is going on? God, please don't play with me!" Her voice was filled with fear and helplessness.
At this moment, a mysterious and eerie voice quietly sounded in her ears: "Little girl, you shouldn't come here."
Lin Xiao's eyes widened in horror, and she quickly turned her head, trying to find the source of the sound. However, there was nothing to see except darkness. "Who are you? Come out! Don't play tricks!" She shouted loudly, her voice trembling with fear.
“Who am I? Hahahaha…” The voice let out a creepy and eerie laugh, “You’ll know soon.”
Lin Xiao's heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. She clenched the dagger in her hand, her body trembling slightly, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "If you have the guts, show up, don't hide here!"
At this time, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness. He was wearing a black cloak that covered him from head to toe, so that his face could not be seen clearly.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Lin Xiao's hand holding the dagger was sweating because of nervousness, and her voice was full of vigilance.
The mysterious man said coldly: "Lin Xiao, do you think you can escape the arrangement of fate?"
Lin Xiao was shocked and frowned even more tightly: "What fate? Don't be so mysterious!"
The mysterious man approached Lin Xiao step by step, his footsteps making a dull sound in the darkness. "Soon, you will understand. But before that, you will face countless tests and dangers."
After saying this, the mysterious man suddenly turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared without a trace, leaving Lin Xiao at a loss in the darkness, his heart filled with fear and confusion.
Lin Xiao gasped for air and tried to calm herself down. "No, I can't be scared like this. I must find out what's going on!" She encouraged herself secretly.
Relying on her memory, she groped her way deeper into the hall. In the darkness, her hand accidentally touched a cold object that felt like a huge stone pillar.
"What is this?" Lin Xiao was puzzled. She carefully touched the surface of the stone pillar with her hand and found that it was engraved with strange symbols and patterns.
"Is this some kind of mysterious spell?" Lin Xiao's heartbeat accelerated again.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the surroundings, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching her in the dark.
"Who? Who's there?" Lin Xiao's voice trembled.
Suddenly, a huge bat swooped down from the darkness, and Lin Xiao subconsciously swung at it with his dagger.
"Go to hell!" she yelled.
The bats screamed and dodged, and Lin Xiao took the opportunity to run towards the light.
She ran to the door of a room and found a faint light coming from inside.
"What's in here?" Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open and walked in.
The room was decorated in a very strange way, with strange portraits hanging all around and some strange bottles and jars placed on the floor.
Lin Xiao was walking carefully, but suddenly he slipped and almost fell.
"Ouch!" she exclaimed.
When I looked down, I found that I had stepped into a pool of unknown liquid.
At this moment, a portrait suddenly fell from the wall, and Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
"What the hell is this place!" she couldn't help but curse.
