It's not too late to meet in the book

The shadowy figure drew closer, the dagger in his hand gleaming coldly in the dim moonlight. His steps were steady, and each one seemed to tread on the hearts of the three, accelerating their heartbeats and nearly suffocating them with nervousness.

The black shadow turned around suddenly, and the dagger in his hand drew a sharp arc, heading straight for the three people.

“Hide quickly!” Lin Yu exclaimed in a low voice, and at the same time grabbed Su Xiaoxiao and Li Ming and quickly hid on the other side of the shelf.

The shadow's dagger missed, and he snorted coldly, approaching again. This time, he was more vigilant, taking every step carefully, like a cheetah ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.

Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists, her heart filled with tension and anxiety. She knew that the enemy she encountered this time was definitely not an ordinary killer. Their strength was unfathomable. If she was not careful, she might die.

However, at this moment, Li Ming suddenly stood up, took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed with determination. "I will deal with him, and you find a chance to subdue him."

After saying this, Li Ming flashed and pounced on the shadow like a ghost. The long sword in his hand drew a brilliant sword light in the air and went straight towards the shadow.

The shadowy figure snorted coldly, equally unwilling to be outdone. He swung his dagger with impenetrable force, intertwining with Li Ming's longsword in the air. The two men engaged in a fierce, drawn-out fight.

Su Xiaoxiao and Lin Yu were stunned as they watched from the side. They had never seen such a fierce fight. Every move was full of murderous intent. If they were not careful, they might die on the spot.

However, just as the two were fighting, Lin Yu suddenly discovered a flaw in the black shadow. He jumped up suddenly, and the dagger in his hand went straight to the black shadow's throat.

The black shadow cried out in surprise and narrowly avoided Lin Yu's dagger. However, at this moment, Su Xiaoxiao also seized the opportunity. She swung the long sword in her hand and chopped the black shadow's chest.

It has to be said that Su Xiaoxiao has learned a lot of skills from Lin Yu.

The shadowy figure screamed and retreated violently. The dagger in his hand flew several meters away. He clutched his chest, blood pouring out, his eyes filled with fear and unwillingness.

The three of them quickly approached and surrounded the black shadow. They knew that this black shadow was definitely an important member of the mysterious organization and that he must have important clues about the mysterious organization.

"Tell me, where is the lair of your organization?" Lin Yu asked sternly, the dagger in his hand pressed against the black shadow's neck, as if he would cut his throat at any time.

The shadow snorted coldly, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth. "Don't even think about getting any information from me."

After saying this, he gritted his teeth and even wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide. However, Su Xiaoxiao was prepared and quickly took action, grabbing the black shadow's chin and stopping his suicide attempt.

"Want to die? Not that easy!" Su Xiaoxiao said coldly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

The shadow struggled a few times before finally collapsing to the ground. He knew he was doomed this time.

The three quickly searched the shadow's body and found a small copper box engraved with intricate symbols and patterns. Opening the box, they found a yellowed map with a hidden location marked on it. Next to it was a line of small words: "The lair of a mysterious organization is hidden here."

Looking at the map, the three were filled with excitement and anticipation. They knew that this map was the clue they had been searching for for so long, which would lead them to the lair of the mysterious organization and uncover the secrets behind the Gate of Time and Space.

Su Xiaoxiao, Lin Yu, and Li Ming, relying on the map they found on the black shadow, quietly arrived outside the mysterious organization's lair. It was an abandoned castle hidden in the deep mountains and forests, surrounded by dense woods, with only a narrow path leading to the castle gate.

The castle's gates were tightly shut, intricately carved with patterns, as if hiding some ancient secret. The three exchanged glances, their hearts filled with anxiety and anticipation. They knew that once they entered the castle, they would face numerous dangers and unknown challenges.

"We have to be careful, this place must be full of traps." Lin Yu reminded in a low voice.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, her eyes gleaming with determination as she gripped the sword tightly. "We came here together, and we'll go back together. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must persevere."

Li Ming also took a deep breath, the dagger in his hand flashing coldly in the moonlight. "Are you ready? Let's get started."

After that, the three of them quietly approached the gate of the castle and began to look for an opportunity to get in. They found that there was a hidden mechanism on the right side of the gate. As long as they pressed the correct sequence, the gate could be opened.

Su Xiaoxiao observed the mechanism carefully, her fingers gently groping over it, as if playing a silent tune. Finally, she found the correct sequence, pressed it lightly, and the door slowly opened.

The three of them quickly slipped into the castle, and the gate quietly closed behind them. The interior of the castle was completely dark, with only a few dim oil lamps flickering in the corners, illuminating the path ahead.

They walked cautiously, each step full of vigilance. The castle was filled with traps and mechanisms. If they were not careful, they could trigger a trap and fall into an irretrievable situation.

However, the three relied on their courage and wisdom to cleverly avoid one trap after another. Sometimes they jumped, sometimes they rolled, and sometimes they used the objects around them as cover, and successfully passed through the first floor of the castle.

When they reached the second floor, a huge maze appeared before them. The maze was filled with intricate passages and dead ends, like a huge maze array, dazzling the eyes.

"This maze is too complicated. We have to find a way to find the right way." Su Xiaoxiao said with a frown.

Lin Yu nodded, and he began to carefully observe the layout of the maze, trying to find the pattern in it. However, the maze seemed like an unsolvable puzzle, making it difficult to start.

At this moment, Li Ming suddenly discovered a subtle difference in the maze. He pointed to a corner and said, "Look, the wall there seems a little different. Perhaps that's the exit."

The three of them quickly came to the place Li Ming pointed out, and indeed found that the wall there was a little strange. They pushed hard, and the wall slowly opened, revealing a secret passage leading deep into the maze.
