Chapter 669: "Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Shocking Journey to Dominate the Screen"
In the Hall of Fate, Lin Xiao faced a new challenge. She chose the door of "wisdom" in the hope of finding the truth hidden in the fantasy world. Every book in the library was like a small world for her to immerse herself in, and every page contained clues about the fantasy world.
As she was flipping through the pages, suddenly, a strange light emanated from one of the old books and engulfed her whole body. When her vision gradually recovered, Lin Xiao found herself in a completely unfamiliar place. This was an ancient city shrouded in fog. An oppressive atmosphere permeated the air, making people feel a little ominous.
Just when Lin Xiao was at a loss, the mysterious man who had been accompanying her on adventures suddenly appeared. But at this time, his expression was cold, and his eyes revealed a sharpness that was completely different from before.
"Welcome to the 'Forgotten City', Lin Xiao." The man's voice was low, completely different from his previous gentle voice.
Lin Xiao was stunned: "You, what's going on? Where is this place?"
The man replied expressionlessly: "This is one of the most dangerous areas in the fantasy world. All travelers who enter here will forget their past and be reborn."
"Forget the past? How is that possible!" Lin Xiao's voice was full of disbelief.
“Not only that,” the man continued, “You will be faced with a new choice. Only by passing the final test can you leave here.”
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She began to explore this place called "Forgotten City". Every corner of the city seemed to hide some kind of secret, and the residents were wandering souls who had lost their memories. There were no smiles on their faces, only deep melancholy.
During the exploration, Lin Xiao met an old man who seemed to know the secrets of the city, but he refused to tell Lin Xiao how to leave directly, and only told her that she had to find the heart of the city - a legendary memory stone.
"Memory Stone?" Lin Xiao repeated the name.
The old man nodded: "Yes, it is the bridge connecting the reality and the fantasy world, the past and the future. Only when you find it can you be truly free."
Afterwards, the old man gave Lin Xiao a puzzle. Only by solving this puzzle could he find the whereabouts of the Memory Stone.
Lin Xiao struggled to find clues in the city, and was constantly attacked by monsters incarnated by amnesiac wandering souls. Every battle deepened her understanding of this world.
After a fierce battle with a monster, Lin Xiao finally found the clue to the Memory Stone. She followed the clue and came to the deepest part of the city, where there was a lake surrounded by fog and an ancient altar stood in the middle of the lake.
Lin Xiao walked towards the altar carefully, and saw a transparent crystal ball floating above the altar. That should be the Memory Stone. She reached out to touch it, but suddenly a strong force pushed her back.
At this moment, a familiar yet strange voice sounded in her ears: "Are you really ready? After knowing the truth, you may never be able to go back to the way it was before."
Lin Xiao nodded firmly: "I must know the truth, no matter what the result is."
She touched the Memory Stone again, and this time, the crystal ball showed images of her original world and her own journey in the fantasy world.
Suddenly, the screen flashed, showing the man who had been with her all along. It turned out that he was the guardian of the fantasy world, and his mission was to guide the chosen ones to accept various tests. And Lin Xiao was one of them.
"Why did you hide it?" Lin Xiao asked in a low voice.
The man sighed: "Because once you know the truth, everything between us will be over."
Lin Xiao was silent for a while, then said: "Perhaps, this is my destiny."
She finally touched the Memory Stone, and a strong light surrounded her and the man. When the light faded, the two were standing on the original grass. Lin Xiao's mind had a new memory of the journey, and the man looked at her deeply, turned around and disappeared in the light and shadow.
