I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo
Chapter 22 West Office Manor
After living in Pei Yan's house for a week, Gu Chaoxi finally adapted to their lifestyle.
Before, she always thought she was an expert at staying up late, but it was not until they started living together that she realized that Qin Wei was the one who really liked staying up late.
Qin Wei is the kind of person who is always excited and stays up late. Every night, she wants to drag them to play games in various ways.
However, Gu Chaoxi really cherishes the night.
Now that she is no longer working, she can finally adjust her work and rest schedule to be healthier, so naturally she doesn't want to stay up late anymore.
Qin Wei had no choice but to give up after being rejected several times.
But this guy can still play single-player games for a whole night.
For Gu Chaoxi, waking up early and breathing fresh air is like drinking a large glass of water when you are thirsty. It is really satisfying.
She tilted her head and stood on the balcony of the room doing morning exercises.
Many people probably think that people like her who used to stay up late often wouldn’t care about exercise.
In fact, it was just the opposite. It was because of staying up late and having an irregular schedule that she used to exercise in the afternoon every time.
However, the effect of her fitness is at most to strengthen the body, and it cannot be considered as deliberate body shaping.
Tilting his neck, Gu Chaoxi suddenly saw a milky white display screen pop up in his sight.
【Dear players】
[Next plane location: Xishu Manor]
[Opening time: 11:8 am, July 9]
[Players must arrive on time, otherwise they will be punished]
As soon as she finished reading these words, the display screen gradually disappeared.
I couldn't help but curl the corners of my mouth. This thing is really simple and crude now!
She sighed, went back to her room, changed into home clothes, and then went downstairs with her cell phone.
Qin Wei was probably still asleep. After all, she had been sleeping during the day and active at night these days.
Pei Yan was sitting in the living room watching the news on TV when he saw Gu Chaoxi coming down the stairs and turning down the volume of the TV with the remote control.
"Saw?"
He leaned on the sofa, his long legs crossed, and there was a hint of concern in his eyes when he looked up at her.
Gu Zhaoxi nodded: "Should we go early?"
"No need. For a place as famous as Xishu Manor, you can find out a lot of information about it even if you don't go there in advance."
Pei Yan shook his head, put his legs down, leaned forward, and rested his elbows on his knees.
The sunlight shone in from outside through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and seemed to cast a layer of light on his silver hair.
At that moment, Gu Chaoxi felt that Pei Yan was like someone who walked out of an anime.
She walked over slowly, just enough to block the sunlight.
At this time Pei Yan raised his head and looked at her.
The bright girl was standing there, with the sunlight shining behind her. He narrowed his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
He seemed to hear some different sounds.
Gu Chaoxi sat down on the sofa, nodded, and simply took out his mobile phone to search.
Xishu Manor, even she had heard of this name.
A manor located in the suburbs of Chengnan City was once a very famous place.
I heard that a wealthy man from a Western country lived in that manor a long time ago.
The owner of the manor was attracted by the abundant strawberries in the area, so he moved his home here from afar.
This manor retains the European architectural style, which was considered extremely luxurious at that time.
Unfortunately, wars broke out later and Chengnan City could not escape the possibility of being attacked.
Because the manor owner had a huge amount of money, he escaped the disaster by bribing with money and still lived a happy life in the manor.
However, a group of homeless desperadoes set their sights on him.
Perhaps all tragedies begin like this. On a rainy night with thunder and lightning, a group of robbers broke into the gate of the manor.
They broke in, burned, killed, looted and took away all the money and valuables.
From then on, the manor fell into decline.
I heard that the former government also tried to rebuild the manor or sell it to other people, but every time this happened, some incredible things would happen in the manor, causing panic among the people.
After a long time, it was left unresolved.
To this day, the manor remains sealed and abandoned.
"Pei Yan, why don't you buy this manor? I think it's quite beautiful!"
Gu Chaoxi held up his mobile phone and reached over. On the screen was a photo of the manor taken a long time ago. It was magnificent and truly desirable.
However, Pei Yan just glanced at him, as if he was looking at a fool.
"Our family is business people, not philanthropists."
In short, there were too many negative reviews about Xishu Manor, and buying it would not bring them much benefit.
So, there is no need.
Feeling Pei Yan's contempt, Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and touched his nose.
If she had known this earlier, she would not have said this. It felt like she was offending Pei Yan.
"What Baidu said is not complete. I have another version. Do you want to listen to it?"
Qin Wei didn't know when she woke up. She was wearing a red and white shirt dress, half leaning on the railing on the second floor, looking down at them.
Her long hair hung naturally in front of her, and her drooping eyes were filled with passion.
Gu Chaoxi took a look and lowered his head to look at Pei Yan.
"There must be a lot of people who like her, right?"
"Click, click..."
It was the sound of Qin Wei coming down the stairs.
Pei Yan tilted his head to look at her, somewhat puzzled: "Why do you ask that?"
"I feel like she's particularly good at seducing people."
She had barely finished her words when the man hugged her neck from behind and gave her a very intimate kiss.
Gu Chaoxi felt that her cheeks must be getting hot. She pursed her lips, raised her hand and poked Qin Wei's arm.
"Let me go first and talk properly."
"Okay, my little cutie!"
Qin Wei let go of her with a smile, but still held her arm and sat beside her.
She lowered her eyes, glanced, and sighed secretly.
Okay, it’s okay, let her be.
"In fact, there is also a saying that the West Office Manor was abandoned not after it was burned, killed, robbed and abused by robbers, but ten years after the incident."
“Personally, I agree with this view.”
When Qin Wei had been traveling around with his mentor earlier, he had also investigated the Xishu Manor out of curiosity.
At that time, she heard people say that the owner of the manor's daughter actually survived the disaster.
So, she investigated with this as a premise, and found out that the manor had been requisitioned once ten years ago.
It is said that an extremely luxurious banquet was held at that time.
At the banquet, the organizer suggested playing an exciting game, but after that, no one walked out of the banquet alive.
"Do you know who went to that party?"
Qin Wei asked this question while looking at Gu Chaoxi, but she didn't wait for her to speak and gave the answer herself.
"It is said that all of them are bandits who have transformed themselves into celebrities in the past ten years."
