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

"Is there any way you didn't say it earlier?"

Shen Yao was obviously very dissatisfied with Pei Yan's behavior, but he only complained.

Gu Chaoxi lay on the kang with her eyes slightly narrowed. Her body was warm, making her feel especially sleepy.

There is still a whole afternoon before night falls.

She knew Pei Yan would not abandon her, so she simply closed her eyes and went to sleep peacefully.

Seeing that she seemed to be asleep, Pei Yan spoke again in the silence.

"Let's all take a nap. I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep tonight."

He glanced around, and without paying attention to the surprised looks of the other three people, he lifted his legs onto the kang and lay down next to Gu Chaoxi.

Qin Wei curled the corners of his mouth, followed him onto the kang, and slept on the other side.

The two of them seemed to be competing with each other, both standing next to Gu Chaoxi.

Shen Yao glared and rolled his eyes: "I'm really impressed."

He climbed onto the kang and looked back at the person who was still standing there: "Shen Xi, you should get some sleep too. It's boring to stay here."

Gu Chaoxi’s sleep was actually not sound.

She had a dream in which she saw herself walking in a fog and could not see her hand in front of her face.

A hand appeared out of nowhere and pulled her over.

When she stood firm and saw the scene clearly, she was in the real Long'an County.

This place is different from when she came here. There are only three or four-story buildings here, and shops on both sides of the street. It is very lively with people coming and going.

She couldn't see the true face of the person who was pulling her.

But that voice sounded particularly familiar.

The man pulled her through the crowd and talked to her.

"Chao Xi, do you know? During the New Year here, everyone makes lanterns together. That means good luck!"

As we walked, the scenery around us changed again.

There were lights and decorations everywhere, and children were running past her holding firecrackers.

She lowered her head and saw that she was wearing a snow-white woolen garment and a red scarf around her neck.

Snowflakes floated past her eyes and her gaze turned to the person who was pulling her.

However, the touch on the hand disappeared, and the man rushed into the wind and snow and suddenly disappeared.

She stopped and stood alone, unable to remember for a moment why she was here.

The bustling sounds behind me gradually faded away, and the fog rose again.

Gu Chaoxi looked around. A breeze blew past her ears and she saw that the clothes she was wearing had turned into coarse linen again.

There seemed to be footsteps in the fog, but she walked towards the sound and saw nothing.

"Chao Xi, Chao Xi!"

The voice called her anxiously, but the more she wanted to know where the voice came from, the more her head hurt.

She closed her eyes and squatted on the ground in pain.

It seemed as if a hand was pressing on her shoulder, and Gu Chaoxi suddenly opened her eyes.

Qin Wei was startled by her. Seeing that her pupils were dilated, she reached out to touch her forehead.

"My dear, your fever has gone down!"

Gu Chaoxi finally came back to his senses, and his eyes gradually became clear.

It was just a dream.

As she thought about this, she raised her hand to rub her forehead, then supported herself with her arms and sat up from the kang.

The sky outside is no longer as blue as before, but has a grayish feel.

Today's dinner is still steamed buns and wild vegetable soup, nothing new.

She moved over, took a look, and although she felt a little annoyed, she still reached out and picked it up.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Pei Yan picked up the offerings on the ground, put them into several sacks and piled them up in the corner.

He clapped his hands and walked outside: "Hurry up, it's getting late."

Once night falls, the evil mountain god will be free.

"Ah."

Gu Chaoxi cheered himself up and became full of energy.

After taking several turns, they entered the yard where the coffin was placed.

There was clearly no wind now, but the funeral banners hanging on the beams were still waving like frightening little ghosts.

"No, isn't it more dangerous if we can't even close the door here?"

Shen Yao glanced around and reached out to pull at the dilapidated door.

Gu Zhaoxi raised his eyes and smiled wickedly: "Who said to stay in the house?"

Pei Yan knocked on the coffin with his hand and responded to her words very naturally.

"It's in the coffin!"

"Hey! You guys!" Shen Yao's hands were shaking as he took a few steps to the side of the coffin: "Do you want the five of us to be buried together?"

Qin Wei also smiled, but said nothing. She cooperated with Pei Yan to open the coffin lid.

The coffin was not small. Five people could squat inside it. Although it was a bit crowded, it was still big enough.

Gu Chaoxi bent down and helped take the bones out.

It was still in the shape of a human, but the bones were moved from the coffin to the yard.

The entire coffin was lifted into the air, and Pei Yan looked at Shen Yao with one hand.

"Come on, go in."

His eyes, as if he was watching a show, made Shen Yao feel uncomfortable, but he still had to obediently turn over and go in.

Five people climbed into the coffin one after another, squatting sideways and leaning against the side wall of the coffin to avoid kicking others with their feet.

Shen Yao and Pei Yan were on both sides of the coffin, Gu Chaoxi was next to Pei Yan, and Qin Wei was on her right.

After everyone had chosen a relatively comfortable position to sit down, Shen Yao raised his arm and slowly moved the coffin lid towards Pei Yan.

It was getting dark outside.

Listening carefully to the sound coming from the air, it seems that something is about to break free from its shackles.

Gu Chaoxi also reached out to help, and soon, Pei Yan pulled the last bit of the coffin lid and closed it completely.

Everything in front of me was pitch black, and the only sound in the air was the slow breathing of five people.

Shen Yao's voice came: "Are you sure that this coffin is safe?"

"That skeleton is the best proof."

When the coffin was first opened, Gu Chaoxi noticed that the skeleton was quite complete.

If she really had to discuss the cause of death, she would tend to think that the man died of starvation or fright.

After all, the bones were intact and obviously had not suffered any external injuries.

Qin Wei also agreed: "Apart from the Sanskrit characters engraved on the coffin, there are no other scratches around it, which is enough to prove that the creature can't do anything to this coffin."

"But it's still easy for him to make some noise outside to scare us."

Gu Chaoxi pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile. As long as he didn't lose his composure, it would be over if he could get through this night, right?

She hugged her knees and tilted her head on her arms.

All the sounds from outside poured into her ears without exception, and she heard the sound of soft tissue crawling on the ground.

Then something was banging, it should be the wooden doors and windows.

Judging from the distance of the sound, the thing should be going to the previous location to find them. After all, it was observing them last night.

Gu Chaoxi sighed and closed his eyes.

The person next to her moved, and his arm brushed against her shoulder.

She turned her head. Although she couldn't see Pei Yan's face in the dark, she seemed to feel that he was smiling.

Hearing the sound of fabric rubbing against each other, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. Pei Yan should have done the same thing as her.

The noise outside gradually grew louder.

Click, click...

It was the sound of a sharp blade hitting the ground.
