I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

A large candle was lit outside again. This time the shadows on the doors and windows were clearer, and the thing seemed to be closer.

With the experience of last night, everyone kept silent this time and just sat there quietly.

However, Gu Chaoxi still noticed that this time the shadow observed them for a longer time.

The baby-like humming sounds seemed to wear down people's will. In such an environment, everyone became more cautious.

The terrifying gaze of that thing seemed to be considering something. After a long time, the dark shadow slowly moved away.

As the candlelight gradually faded, everything fell into darkness again.

The wind blew past the window, and the only sound I could hear was the rustling of the window paper.

When his nerves relaxed, Gu Chaoxi felt deeply tired again.

Sleepiness swept over her. Without thinking much, she climbed onto the kang and fell asleep in a short while.

Qin Wei turned his head to look at the person who had fallen asleep on the kang, and smiled helplessly for a moment.

"Pei Yan, the person you are looking for is really interesting."

The person who was called did not say anything. Instead, he stared at the sleeping Gu Chaoxi. After a while, he got up.

"Let's go to sleep. Tomorrow we will go find out what that thing in the secret room is."

If they want to get out of the other world, they must find out the truth hidden in this village.

It was late at night and no one noticed when a dark shadow passed by the door.

When the next day dawned, Gu Chaoxi was awakened by Qin Wei.

She was a little confused, but saw the milky white panel appear in front of her first.

【Dear players】

[Number of players in this game]

[Remaining: 6]

She woke up almost instantly and stumbled off the kang.

"slight!"

She held Qin Wei's hand, her breathing becoming a little rapid.

Qin Wei just frowned and gave her a weak smile: "Last night, Zhou Jianming walked out of the room by himself."

Zhou Jianming is the man in his early thirties.

"I heard from Shen Yao that he probably felt there was no hope of leaving this dimension, so he chose to end it."

She staggered and was helped by Qin Wei to sit down at the table.

On the table was the breakfast that Shen Yao brought back in the morning, which today was two steamed buns and a bowl of rice soup.

She held the steamed bun with trembling hands, took a bite in a daze, and tears kept falling.

At that moment, sadness, grief, anger, and fear all flooded my heart.

Gu Chaoxi felt as if his entire head had grown heavier, his eyelids drooped limply, and his mouth chewed tastelessly.

She almost forced herself to swallow everything before she could muster the strength to stand up.

"Weiwei, where are Pei Yan and the others?"

"They went to the mountain temple first."

Seeing that she was still a little unsteady, Qin Wei touched her forehead with some concern.

It's terribly hot.

"Little cutie, you have a fever!"

Immediately, Qin Wei grabbed her and stopped her from going out.

"Don't go, just stay here and rest. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on any longer!"

But Gu Chaoxi shook his head and raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face.

"Weiwei, please let me go. I'm scared to be alone."

She was now in such a trance that she could hear many sounds coming from far away, and she could even hear the rubbing sounds of the villagers walking back and forth clearly.

She couldn't be sure if any dirty creature would come to her when she was alone.

Instead of this, it is better to stay with them.

Qin Wei had no choice but to take her arm and go out together.

Before he got completely close to the mountain temple, Gu Chaoxi heard the faint breathing from yesterday.

Pei Yan and his team have already moved the wooden box out of the secret room and now place it in the yard.

Seeing two people walking slowly towards him, Pei Yan raised his eyes and looked over.

"She has a fever."

Qin Wei helped her sit down on the steps of a side hall, not really wanting her to participate.

But she raised her hand and grabbed Qin Wei's wrist, her eyes staring at the wooden box. In the sunlight shining down from the sky, she could even see the dust scattered on the box.

"He was breathing, but there was no heartbeat."

Gu Chaoxi said this while looking at Pei Yan.

Shen Yao and his companions unconsciously took a step back, seeming to be a little afraid.

Only Pei Yan was still standing there, with the fingertips of one hand gently touching the wooden box.

The college student found an axe from somewhere and handed it to Pei Yan.

She just stared at those people and waited silently.

Finally, Pei Yan raised his hand to let everyone else go away, and he picked up the axe and chopped at the wooden box.

The axe got stuck on the wooden box, so he pulled it out and tried again.

With repeated efforts, a crack was finally made on the wooden box, and the things inside gradually came out.

He seemed to have no patience, and finally kicked it.

A strange wind swept in, and the ginkgo tree in the yard trembled twice, and many leaves fell down.

Fengsha narrowed his eyes, and Gu Chaoxi subconsciously raised his arms to cover his eyes.

When she put her hand down, she saw a woman wrapped in a gray quilt lying in the broken wooden box.

Her whole body was wrapped in a quilt and tied with hemp rope, leaving only her head exposed. Her hair had long been undone, with scattered hair sticking to her cheeks.

There was a bright yellow talisman paper pasted in the middle of the quilt.

There seemed to be a booklet stuffed near the collar, but only half of it was exposed.

Gu Chaoxi stood up and walked over there.

This time, Qin Wei stood there in a daze, not even making a move to stop him.

She walked closer, slowly squatted down, and looked more carefully.

This face still looks rather childish. After all, girls in ancient times could get married when they reached the age of 15.

The whole face is pale, but it doesn't look shriveled. Instead, it has an eerily delicate feeling.

The pair of tightly closed eyes had long eyelashes and willow-shaped eyebrows, which were full of affinity.

She suddenly thought that if this girl were alive, she would probably be considered a beauty in the area.

Carefully avoiding the talisman paper, Gu Chaoxi pulled out the booklet from her collar.

"Weiwei, I need to trouble you again."

She raised her hands, her head became even more dizzy, and she simply squatted there like a mushroom without moving.

Perhaps because the wooden box had been smashed open not long ago, the stench was still quite strong.

She felt a little choked and was about to raise her other hand to cover her nose when someone grabbed her arm and pulled her up.

Pei Yan picked her up with one hand and stepped back three or four steps. Seeing that she was staggering, he simply put his arm around her waist and half-huggled her in his arms.

Qin Wei took the booklet in her hand, and she looked up at Pei Yan in a daze.

The man didn't look very good, and even seemed a little angry.

Gu Chaoxi lowered his eyes and scratched the back of his hand, then raised his hand to pull at the corner of his clothes to steady himself.

"Pei Yan, let me go."

"Do you want to fall down before you obey me?"

She choked and felt as if she was stepping on cotton, so she had no choice but to let him hold her like this.
