Chapter 397 "Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Journey into the Ancient Castle"
Lin Xiao stood alone in front of the ancient and mysterious castle. The bright moonlight shone on her, but it did not bring her any warmth. Instead, it made her feel that the surrounding atmosphere was even more gloomy and terrifying. She frowned, her eyes were full of fear and hesitation, and she kept muttering, "This damn place is full of evil spirits. Should I go in?"
Her body was trembling slightly, her hands were clenched into fists, and her nails dug deep into her flesh. Lin Xiao bit her lip, as if to encourage herself: "What are you afraid of! I, Lin Xiao, am not a coward. How can I not go in and take a look!"
Just when she made up her mind to push open the heavy door, suddenly a gloomy cold wind blew past, and the wind seemed to be mixed with miserable cries and strange laughter.
"Oh my God! What's that sound?" Lin Xiao jumped up in fright, and his face turned pale as paper in an instant.
She calmed herself down, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open. "Squeak--" a dull sound was particularly harsh in the silent night, and a stale and decayed smell came over her, choking Lin Xiao to cough repeatedly.
"Cough cough cough... This smell is even worse than biological weapons!" Lin Xiao fanned the air in front of him with his hands and stepped into the castle carefully.
The castle was dark, with only a few faint moonlight shining through the narrow window gaps, forming strange light and shadows. Lin Xiao's heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
"This place is too scary!" Lin Xiao said in a trembling voice.
She walked forward cautiously, and the stone pavement under her feet made a creaking sound, as if telling her the ancient secret of the castle.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao heard a slight sound of footsteps, which echoed in the empty castle and were getting closer and closer.
"Who? Who's there? Come out!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice full of fear and anger.
However, there was no response, only the footsteps became clearer and clearer.
Beads of sweat appeared on Lin Xiao's forehead. She held the sword tightly in her hand and looked around vigilantly.
Just then, a dark shadow quickly passed by her from behind, bringing a gust of cool breeze.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fright and turned around suddenly, but saw nothing.
"Damn it! What on earth is playing tricks on me?" Lin Xiao stomped his feet in anger, his face turning red with anger and fear.
She continued to walk forward, taking every step with trepidation. Suddenly, she saw a room in front of her, the door of which was half-open, with a faint light coming from inside.
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to walk over.
She gently pushed open the door, and the room was filled with a pungent smell of medicine. In the corner of the room stood a shabby table filled with all kinds of strange bottles and instruments.
"What are these things?" Lin Xiao walked forward to check out curiously.
Just as she reached out to pick up a bottle, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind her and grabbed her arm tightly.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed again and tried desperately to break free.
"Don't move!" A deep voice sounded in her ears.
Lin Xiao turned her head and saw a person with a blurred face standing behind her.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Lin Xiao asked in horror.
The man didn't answer, but just looked at her coldly.
