Chapter 616: "A Fantasy World and a Haunted Castle: Lin Xiao's Horrifying Journey of Explo
Lin Xiao stood alone in front of the gate of the eerie and mysterious castle. There was a dead silence around her, with only the occasional whirring sound of the cold wind. She looked up at the towering walls, her heart filled with fear and confusion. "What on earth is this place? It feels like a haunted house!" Lin Xiao frowned, her lips trembling slightly.
She carefully pushed open the heavy door, and it creaked, like a sigh from hell. A rotten smell filled the air inside the door, choking Lin Xiao and causing her to cough. "Ahem, this smell is too strong!" She fanned the air in front of her with her hands and walked in slowly.
The moonlight shone through the narrow window gap, falling on the ground like silver threads, forming strange spots of light. Lin Xiao's footsteps echoed in the empty hall, and seemed particularly clear.
"Why is this place so gloomy? Is there something dirty here?" Lin Xiao's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of vigilance. She took every step very carefully, as if there would be a trap under her feet at any time.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, making her back feel cold. Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver and hugged her arms tightly. "Oh my god, this wind is so weird!"
At this moment, a dark shadow flashed past her. Lin Xiao turned around abruptly, but saw nothing. "Who? Come out quickly, stop playing tricks!" She shouted loudly, her voice full of fear and anger.
"Is it my eyes that are blurry?" Lin Xiao muttered to herself, beads of sweat oozing out of her forehead. Her heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
Lin Xiao continued to walk forward, the stone slabs under her feet made a "creaking" sound, as if telling her the secrets of this ancient castle. She came to a spacious hall, in the center of which stood a huge stone table covered with strange symbols and patterns.
"What are these?" Lin Xiao moved closer to the stone table, wanting to see what was going on. The symbols on the stone table seemed to be moving, making her feel dizzy.
At this moment, the stone table suddenly emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day. Lin Xiao was blinded by the sudden light and she subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands. "Ah! My eyes!" she screamed.
When the light disappeared, Lin Xiao found himself in a strange room. There was a faint fragrance in the room, and mysterious portraits were hung on the walls. "Where is this? How did I get here?" Lin Xiao was full of doubts, and his steps became a little flustered.
She walked to a portrait, and the person in the portrait seemed to be smiling at her. The smile was so weird that it made Lin Xiao shudder. "Oh, this is too weird!" Lin Xiao took a few steps back in fear and accidentally bumped into the table behind him.
Suddenly, a deep laugh came from the room. "Who's laughing? Come out!" Lin Xiao shouted, his voice full of fear and anger.
"Hahahaha..." The laughter continued to echo in the room, growing louder and louder, as if it was going to swallow Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao's heartbeat quickened rapidly, and she looked around for the source of the sound. "Who on earth is it? Come out if you have the guts!" Her voice was filled with tears.
At this moment, a mysterious voice sounded in her ears: "Little girl, you can't escape..."
Lin Xiao turned around in horror, only to find that there was no one around. "Who are you? What do you want to do?" Lin Xiao asked loudly.
"You'll find out soon enough..." The voice faded away.
Lin Xiao felt a wave of despair, tears welling up in his eyes. "Why am I so unlucky, wuwuwu..."
