Ancient castle
Where is this?
Chen Xingyu opened his eyes in bewilderment and found himself in a desolate wilderness. The attire he donned was entirely unfamiliar, leaving him to wonder if someone was playing a prank on him or if he had somehow been thrust into a time-travel adventure.
Chen Xingyu recalled that just moments ago, he had been engaged in explaining League of Legends in the live streaming room. How on earth had he ended up here in the blink of an eye? Even if today were the Ghost Festival on July 15th, this was far too absurd. A cold breeze swept by, causing Chen Xingyu to shiver uncontrollably. Everything before him was engulfed in pitch-black darkness. Only the faint glimmer of starlight allowed him to faintly perceive his surroundings. It was nearly impossible to see his own hand in front of him. Accompanied by the cold wind, faint wails of ghosts and howls of wolves could be heard, filling Chen Xingyu with inexplicable panic. Somehow, he associated his current situation with the common scenes in ghost movies. And now, he was like the male lead in the midst of a chaotic dance of demons.
Don't think about it. It can't be true. There can't be ghosts in this world.
Chen Xingyu had never believed in ghosts and deities, but at this moment, he couldn't help but be swayed. He constantly tried to hypnotize himself, attempting to banish the fear from his heart. Yet, the more he did so, the stronger the feeling that something was staring at him from behind, sending shivers down his spine. A massive chill rose from behind and rushed into his brain, making him** dwell on such thoughts any longer. At this moment, his life no longer seemed to be his own. The instinct of living beings constantly reminded him that he was in grave danger of losing his life at any moment.
"Is there anyone?" Chen Xingyu's teeth chattered as he asked loudly in a trembling voice. This was his attempt to bolster his courage. Even though he knew that there was no one in this wilderness, he still hoped that someone would respond. At this moment, he fervently wished that someone would come to his side and tell him that this was just a joke and that he could soon return to the familiar world.
In the empty and silent night, only Chen Xingyu's voice echoed continuously. He stumbled forward, longing to encounter another person. But along the way, there were only cold winds and gravel. What greeted his eyes was all desolate scenery, and at night, it was indescribably gloomy and terrifying.
Chen Xingyu didn't dare to look back or stop. Because he felt that as soon as he stopped, something extremely dreadful would surely occur. And if he dared to turn back, his neck would undoubtedly be bitten off by some extremely terrifying creature in an instant. In his panic, Chen Xingyu had no idea how long or how far he had walked. He just kept walking and walking to alleviate his extreme uneasiness.
Perhaps this was just an extremely realistic dream. Chen Xingyu felt that if he wasn't dreaming, then he must have gone mad. How could there be such a bizarre thing in reality?
As his uneasiness intensified, Chen Xingyu felt that he was truly on the verge of madness. The cold wind blew in gusts. Even if there really were ghosts who wanted him dead, let him die quickly. Or at least let him die with understanding. What was the point of leaving him in such a terrifying place?
After a while, Chen Xingyu finally saw something different. That was one after another stone tablet standing in disarray on the ground. This was simply the cemetery where ghosts appeared most frequently in movies. Chen Xingyu increasingly felt that he had come to an extraordinary place. If a zombie really popped out at this moment, he probably wouldn't be too surprised. After all, wasn't that how it was in movies?
In the darkness, only the rustling sound of Chen Xingyu's feet rubbing against the gravel on the ground remained. Still knowing nothing about his surroundings, Chen Xingyu continued to move forward, and his sense of uneasiness grew stronger and stronger. Suddenly, Chen Xingyu vaguely saw a figure in front of him. But when he saw the figure, he didn't show any sign of joy. Instead, he subconsciously backed away slowly. Because this figure was very strange. It was facing away from Chen Xingyu, its whole body prostrate on the ground, and its mouth seemed to be eating something. Somehow, a scene immediately flashed through Chen Xingyu's mind of a zombie with blood in its mouth and a severed limb in it. In an instant, this figure completely coincided with the scene in his mind, and there were bursts of zombie roars ringing in his ears. Chen Xingyu was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat all over his body. He swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice, "Is there anyone? Is there anyone in front?"
After calling for a long time, the figure in front didn't move at all. Chen Xingyu was very scared, but after clenching his teeth, he still mustered up courage and slowly walked forward. No matter what was in front of him, even if it was really a zombie or would turn back and devour him as soon as he walked over, he was resigned to it.
Chen Xingyu was truly fed up with this place. Frightening scenes were everywhere. Maybe something terrifying would pop up in the next second. The fright he had endured in his twenties was probably not as much as this one night.
Haha!
When he came in front of the shadow, Chen Xingyu suddenly burst out laughing. Although he knew that he was in a strange and terrifying place, he still couldn't help laughing. Because this figure was not a living being at all. It was simply an ugly human-shaped stone statue. Due to the darkness, he hadn't recognized it. Thinking that he had been frightened by this inanimate object for a long time, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Haha! Frightening himself. But as he laughed, the smile on Chen Xingyu's face became more and more stiff. At first it could be said to be a laugh, but later it was more like crying than laughing. Chen Xingyu had a crying face and wanted to curse at the sky. Who could tell him what on earth was going on? Had he time-traveled to a ghost world?
Whether it was a wild animal or something else, a shrill roar resounded and echoed in the cemetery for a long time without stopping!
At this time, Chen Xingyu was unusually unafraid. Instead, he directly strode forward angrily. When facing fear, one kind of person is so frightened that they lose their courage. While the other kind of person breaks through after being defeated and becomes braver than ever and fearless! As for Chen Xingyu, he was undoubtedly the second kind of person. Under the accumulation of a large amount of fear, he finally overcame the fear in his heart, forgot all negative emotions, and became stronger than ever before!
Woo woo woo!
Perhaps sensing the change in Chen Xingyu's heart, the things hidden in the dark got angry. A mist suddenly filled the cemetery. Zombies-like things began to stagger and surround Chen Xingyu. From a long distance, one could smell the rotten and disgusting stench of dead bodies on them. Chen Xingyu's heart tightened. Finally, it came. Seeing these living corpses that were unexpected but reasonable, he was instead relieved. The unknown is the most terrifying! Perhaps there had been enough foreshadowing. Even though he knew that the enemy he encountered was a living corpse with rotting flesh as in legends, he didn't feel shocked and quickly accepted this fact.
But although he accepted it, knowing that he was no match for the living corpses, Chen Xingyu immediately fled to a distance. In the distance, he finally saw a glimmer of light. There might be a glimmer of hope if he ran there.
Arrived!
Fortunately, the speed of the living corpses was not fast. Before they completely surrounded him, Chen Xingyu ran to the light in one breath. Here was an ancient castle. Around it were two rows of stone seats. At the top, there were flames burning inside, emitting a faint light. This was an oil lamp with a yellowish glow guiding him. Chen Xingyu had a bad premonition in his heart. Because when he saw this castle with its door wide open, he didn't feel at ease at all. Instead, for some reason, he couldn't help but tremble. It was as if this ancient castle was a devil that devoured everything. His whole soul seemed to be attracted by this secluded door. The living corpses behind were gathering here, but strangely, they didn't surround him. They just roared restlessly a hundred meters away, showing their desire for living human flesh.
Chen Xingyu knew that there must be something even more terrifying inside the door. But he had no choice. Whether he died early or late, it was death. If possible, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would take a risk here!
See what's inside the ancient castle that can give him such a depressing feeling.
With a nervous mood, Chen Xingyu stepped into the pitch-black door.
Boom!
There was a loud noise from behind. Chen Xingyu turned around and found that the door behind him had already been tightly closed, not giving him a chance to escape from the ancient castle. Chen Xingyu chuckled. Sure enough, it was like this. There was no originality at all. Calming down and thinking about it, so far, everything here is exactly the same as the scenes in horror movies.
There is light!
The ancient castle still had some conscience. After closing the door, rows of lights on the walls started to light up from near to far, reaching deep inside, so that Chen Xingyu couldn't see the end of the ancient castle.
At this time, Chen Xingyu still had the heart to admire the various oil paintings on the walls. There were vampires and demons. Countless vivid dark creatures were hanging on the walls, seeming to stare at him like real people. The vivid eyeballs seemed to turn as he moved, making Chen Xingyu feel a burst of speechless pressure. When he saw a large sword standing upright on the chest of the armor placed beside him, he immediately had an idea and broke it off from its hands to arm himself. So heavy! This large sword is not a toy. The blade is very thin and sharp, shining a dazzling cold light under the light. Holding the large sword weighing more than thirty catties, Chen Xingyu held it tightly with both hands and slashed vigorously twice, feeling a little more at ease.
Picking up the large sword, Chen Xingyu suddenly turned around and slashed fiercely at the tightly closed door.
Bang!
A huge force surged from the door, making Chen Xingyu's tiger's mouth tremble and he almost couldn't hold the large sword in his hand. He didn't force it. Instead, he directly released the large sword to avoid the consequence of his hands being cracked by the strong force.
Sure enough, it didn't work. The large sword didn't even leave a single sword mark on the door. Chen Xingyu was a little disappointed but not discouraged. He had already expected that the master hidden in the ancient castle wouldn't let him out so easily.
Chen Xingyu's actions seemed to have angered the creatures in the ancient castle and triggered some bad changes. What was this feeling! At the same time, Chen Xingyu shuddered violently. This was the feeling of encountering a natural enemy.
