Chapter 409: The Shocking Secret Deep in the Castle

Lin Xiao slumped on the ground, still not recovering from the exhaustion of defeating the monster. However, the strange sound became clearer and clearer, as if whispering in her ear.

"What on earth is making this sound?" Lin Xiao was full of doubts, and fear spread in her heart again. She struggled to stand up, holding her sword tightly, and walked towards the source of the sound vigilantly.

Lin Xiao walked through a dark corridor and came to the door of a room. The door was half-open, and a faint light came from inside. She gently pushed the door open, and a stale smell came to her face.

There were all kinds of strange objects in the room, and mysterious portraits hung on the walls. Lin Xiao's eyes were attracted by a painting that showed a beautiful woman with endless sadness in her eyes.

Just as she was staring at the portrait, the woman in the painting suddenly blinked, and Lin Xiao was so scared that she almost threw away her sword.

"This...how is this possible?" Lin Xiao stuttered.

At this moment, the objects in the room began to move on their own, as if an invisible hand was controlling them.

Lin Xiao tried to flee the room in a panic, but found that the door was tightly closed. She pulled the door handle desperately, but to no avail.

Suddenly, a figure slowly emerged from behind her. Lin Xiao turned around and saw a handsome but indifferent man.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Lin Xiao asked vigilantly.

The man smiled and said, "I am the guardian of this castle. You have trespassed where you are not supposed to be."

Lin Xiao frowned: "Guardian? Then what are these strange noises and strange phenomena?"

The man was silent for a moment, then said, "This castle hides a shocking secret, and you may be the key to unlocking it."

Lin Xiao looked confused: "Me? I don't understand."

At this moment, the light in the room suddenly became stronger and enveloped them. When the light disappeared, Lin Xiao and the man found themselves in a mysterious space.

The surroundings were in chaos, and the boundaries were unclear. At this time, a huge black shadow attacked them. The man quickly protected Lin Xiao behind him and cast a powerful spell to fight against the black shadow.

In the fierce battle, the man gradually lost his strength. Lin Xiao was extremely anxious, and she suddenly found that her sword was flashing with a strange light.

"Maybe this sword can help us!" Lin Xiao shouted.

She picked up her sword and fought side by side with the man. At the critical moment, Lin Xiao swung her sword at the black shadow, who screamed and disappeared.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the space began to vibrate violently and countless cracks appeared.

"Oh no, this place is going to collapse!" The man pulled Lin Xiao and tried to find an exit.

In the chaos, Lin Xiao and the man held hands tightly, and a wonderful emotion quietly grew in their hearts.

Just when they thought they were trapped in this space forever, a mysterious light appeared and brought them back to the room in the castle.

"What is going on?" Lin Xiao asked, panting.

The man looked at her with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Maybe this is fate."

Just as they were about to further explore the secrets of the castle, a horn suddenly sounded outside the castle...
