Chapter 385: A Shocking Change in the Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Moment of Decision
Lin Xiao stood alone on the top of the ancient castle, the strong wind tearing her clothes and hair like a mad beast. Her eyes revealed a complex mixture of deep confusion and determination, her brows were furrowed, as if she was carrying the weight of the whole world.
"This journey is like a nightmare, but what should I choose?" Lin Xiao murmured to herself, her voice so weak and trembling in the wind. She bit her lips tightly, which had lost their color, revealing a stubbornness.
At this moment, the strange light that streaked across the sky was as bright as a meteor, but it also had a creepy weirdness. Then, the mysterious voice rang in her ears like thunder, making her head buzz.
"Lin Xiao, your destiny is about to usher in a major turning point." The voice seemed to come from ancient times, yet seemed to be very close, with an irresistible majesty.
Lin Xiao turned around suddenly, eyes wide open, searching for the source of the sound. "Who is it? Come out if you have the guts, don't hide!" She shouted loudly, her voice becoming a little hoarse due to fear and anger.
At this moment, Mo Yu appeared behind her like a ghost, his face as solemn as the sky before a storm.
"Lin Xiao, we may have fallen into a huge conspiracy." Mo Yu's voice was low and serious, and every word was like a heavy stone, hitting Lin Xiao's heart.
Lin Xiao's eyes widened, filled with shock and disbelief. "What's going on? Mo Yu, explain it to me!" She rushed over and grabbed Mo Yu's arm tightly, her fingers turning white from the force.
Mo Yu took a deep breath, looked into the distance, and said slowly: "I just found out that the mysterious man who has been helping us has a lot of suspicious behavior. He seems to be helping us, but in fact he may have ulterior motives. Maybe we have been played by him all along."
"What?" Lin Xiao was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. "Then was everything we did before in vain?" There was a hint of despair and anger in her voice.
Mo Yu held Lin Xiao's shoulders, looked at her firmly, and said, "Don't be afraid, Lin Xiao. As long as we are together, there will be no obstacles that we can't overcome. But now, we are faced with a difficult decision."
Lin Xiao bit her lip, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. "Mo Yu, what do you think we should do?" There was a hint of helplessness in her voice.
Mo Yu pondered for a moment and said, "We can either continue to trust that mysterious man and follow his guidance. Maybe this is a trap, but it may also be the only way out. Or we can completely break with him and find the truth ourselves, but in this way, we will face countless unknown dangers."
Lin Xiao frowned and paced back and forth on the top of the castle. "This is too difficult to choose. If we make the wrong choice, we will be doomed."
At this moment, the surrounding environment began to undergo a terrifying change. A cloud of black fog suddenly rose up around the castle. The fog was as thick as ink and spread rapidly, surrounding them.
"What the hell is this thing?" Lin Xiao screamed in fright and her body involuntarily moved closer to Mo Yu.
Mo Yu drew his sword and looked around vigilantly. "Be careful, Lin Xiao, this fog may not be simple."
Faint bursts of eerie laughter could be heard in the mist. The laughter seemed to come from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.
"Hahahaha, Lin Xiao, Mo Yu, you can't escape, just be my pawns!"
Lin Xiao's face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "This voice... could it be that mysterious person?"
Mo Yu gripped his sword tightly and shouted, "No matter who you are, don't try to scare us!"
