Chapter 564: The Fantasy World of Despair: Lin Xiao's Life and Death Decision
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood in front of the ancient and mysterious castle. The castle was like a huge black monster, towering into the clouds, exuding a creepy and gloomy atmosphere. Lin Xiao looked up at the tightly closed door that seemed to be sealed by the years, his eyes full of fear and uneasiness, and he said in a trembling voice: "Mo Yu, why do I feel that this place is gloomy, like a ghost castle in a horror movie? Are we really going in? I feel creepy!"
Mo Yu held Lin Xiao's hand, his eyes firm and powerful, and comforted her: "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, this castle may be the key to solving all the mysteries. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!"
The two took a deep breath and carefully pushed open the heavy door. With a dull creaking sound, a stale and decayed smell surged out like a tide, choking Lin Xiao and causing him to cough.
"Oh, what's that smell? It feels like I've entered a thousand-year-old tomb!" Lin Xiao complained while covering his mouth and nose.
Mo Yu said softly: "Be careful, Xiao'er, follow me."
They walked into the castle hall with cautious steps. It was extremely dark all around, with only a few faint rays of light struggling to penetrate through the gaps in the tall windows, forming strange light and shadows.
"Oh my God, it's too dark. I feel like a monster will jump out at any time!" Lin Xiao was so scared that he grabbed Mo Yu's arm tightly.
Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed in the empty hall, and the sound seemed to come from the depths of hell.
"Who? Who's there?" Lin Xiao screamed in horror, his voice changing tone.
At this moment, a dark shadow passed by them quickly like a ghost, bringing with it a gust of cold wind.
Mo Yu reacted quickly, and drew out his sword with a "swish", and shouted loudly: "Come out! Don't play tricks! If you have the guts, let's fight head-on!"
However, the surroundings instantly returned to deathly silence, with only their nervous breathing echoing in the air.
They continued to go deeper into the castle with fear and trepidation, and came to a room filled with all kinds of strange objects, some of which emitted strange lights, and some of which were distorted in a creepy way.
Lin Xiao curiously picked up a crystal ball emitting blue light, and instantly, the crystal ball shone brightly.
"Oh no, put it down!" Mo Yu shouted anxiously.
But it was too late. A mysterious figure slowly emerged from the strong light.
"Haha, you are finally here." The mysterious man's voice seemed to carry a thousand years of frost, making people shudder.
Lin Xiao's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he asked tremblingly: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The mysterious man smiled without saying anything, but that laughter made people's backs cold. Suddenly, the mysterious man waved his sleeves, and a powerful force like a whirlpool swept Lin Xiao and Mo Yu into a dark space.
In this dark space, Lin Xiao and Mo Yu seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss. There was no light around them and no sense of direction.
"Mo Yu, I'm so scared, how can we get out?" Lin Xiao's voice was tearful. He tightly grasped Mo Yu's arm, and his body kept shaking.
Mo Yu hugged Lin Xiao tightly, trying to comfort her, and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I will definitely take you out, believe me!"
At this moment, the voice of a mysterious man sounded all around, and the voice echoed in the darkness, seeming particularly eerie and terrifying: "If you want to get out, you have to make a choice."
Lin Xiao shouted hysterically: "What choice? Tell me now! Stop being so mysterious!"
The mysterious man said coldly: "Lin Xiao, you have two paths in front of you. The first path will allow you to gain extremely powerful strength, but Mo Yu will disappear from this world forever, and his soul will be scattered; the second path, Mo Yu will be safe and sound, but you will lose all your memories, including every bit of your relationship with Mo Yu, and become a person without a past. You choose."
When Lin Xiao heard this cruel choice, she was stunned for a moment, tears welling up in her eyes. She said in a trembling voice, "How could this happen? This is too cruel! Why do you want me to make such a choice?"
Mo Yu looked at Lin Xiao affectionately and said firmly: "Xiao'er, don't worry about me, choose what you want. As long as you are fine, I don't care what happens to me."
Lin Xiao was caught in an extremely painful struggle. Her expression was extremely conflicted and her heart was full of contradictions and torment.
"I...I really don't know what to do! Mo Yu, I can't lose you, but I don't want to lose my memory either!" Lin Xiao held his head with both hands and squatted down in pain.
Mo Yu gently helped Lin Xiao up and said, "Xiao'er, don't torture yourself like this. No matter what choice you make, I support you."
Lin Xiao raised his head and looked at Mo Yu, his eyes full of affection and reluctance: "Mo Yu, if I choose power and lose you, what's the point of owning the whole world? But if I lose my memory, no longer remember you, no longer remember our love, then what's the point of me living?"
Time passed minute by minute, Lin Xiao's heart was in agony, while the mysterious man watched coldly from the side, waiting for her final decision.
