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

Before Gu Chaoxi could figure this out, a shout came into his ears.

"Help, help! Is there anyone here?"

That sound came from the third floor. Has the man woken up?

She stood up instantly and patted Pei Yan with her hand: "Are you asleep?"

"No, just thinking about something."

Pei Yan tightened his hand holding the pen, shook his head, and then walked towards the stairs.

The man must not run around and go into the wrong room. After all, they don’t know whether the people in the room are in normal condition.

Fortunately, the man was just shouting in the corridor.

When Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan came up, they saw him sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, looking extremely helpless.

"Are you OK?"

She asked softly, it seemed that the man's mental state was close to danger level.

When he saw Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan, he was stunned at first, then shrank back.

"You, are you human?"

"If you're not a human, you're a ghost? If you were a ghost, you would have eaten you up long ago!"

Qin Wei and a few others also heard the sound and went up to the third floor. When they came over, their eyes swept over Gu Chaoxi and they said something to the man.

The man on the ground came to his senses after being scolded by her.

His mouth opened and closed but he just nodded. He knelt on the ground and crawled over using his hands and feet.

Although he was wearing the clothes of the nobility at that time, it looked ridiculous, as if he was putting human clothes on a dog.

He cried with snot and tears.

Tears mixed with snot fell down, and he wiped them away with his hand.

"Help me, help me out, please, I beg you!"

He pretended to reach out to pull Pei Yan's trouser leg, but Pei Yan took two steps back to avoid him.

Gu Chaoxi lowered his eyes. The man's hands paused, as if he knew that he was dirty. He put his hands back on his chest, and his whole body was hunched over, almost touching the floor.

"I beg you, please help me, save me!"

Perhaps because he was annoyed by his crying, Li Zhihai, who was originally standing behind the crowd, lost his good expression and rushed up to kick the man.

"What kind of girl are you, crying? You're all cowards!"

The man on the ground was trembling, obviously very scared.

Although he didn't quite agree with Li Zhihai's approach, the man did shut his mouth and even suppressed his whimpering.

"Damn it, it's just a small matter, are you still a man?"

Seeing that Li Zhihai was about to teach someone a lesson, Gu Chaoxi took a step forward.

"What's your name?"

The person on the ground lay there without moving, and his whole body shrank again, hugging himself tighter.

Li Zhihai glanced at Gu Chaoxi and rolled his eyes viciously, but did not take any action.

"Let me ask you, what's your name?"

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gu Chaoxi squatted down and asked again.

The man finally raised his head, his face full of tear marks, and his already dark eyes now looked even darker.

"I... My name is Luo Hai. I, I don't know how I got here. I really don't know!"

Well, mentally confused.

Gu Chaoxi glanced at the ring on his middle finger and shook his head helplessly.

"Don't panic, okay? Didn't you see the content on the prompt board before you came in?"

She tried to guide this person, but it was obvious that this person was not listening now.

"Let's discuss what we just discovered."

Qin Wei bent down and reached out to touch Gu Chaoxi's shoulder.

She nodded, supported herself on her knees and stood up, not looking at Luo Hai who was lying on the ground.

Some people's ability to withstand stress is low from the beginning, so no matter how much you want to help them, it's useless.

"Let's talk first." Pei Yan turned the pen in his hand and his brows relaxed.

"Ah."

She nodded and stood quietly.

So Pei Yan began to talk about the search just now.

"The rooms on the left corridor are, in order, the studio, piano room, tea room, small study, and bedroom."

"There is a portrait of a woman in the studio, the same woman as before, but the portrait has been cut by a knife, and the face in the painting has been smeared with stains."

"In the bedroom, we found a cowhide booklet containing the confession of a suitor."

"Part of the contents of the leather manual was torn off, and no more was written after that day."

"My preliminary opinion is that the owner of the manual and the person who painted the woman's portrait are the same person."

He said, looking away from the pen in his hand.

"Well, regarding the owner of the manual and the person in the portrait, I also tend to think they are the same person."

Gu Chaoxi added a sentence from the side.

Qin Wei nodded and glanced at Shen Yao. It seemed that she should be the one to state her recent discovery.

"There are four rooms in total on the right corridor. At the end is a bedroom with a balcony. It looks more like the one where the owner of the manor lives."

"Next to it is a two-story study room. The bookshelves on the four walls are mostly filled with business books and some literary works."

“Again, it’s the equivalent of a lounge, with a couch and a closet with some unfinished crocheted sweaters.”

“The last one, near the terrace, is this one. It contains all the homemade wine.”

She paused here.

Gu Chaoxi was originally staring at Pei Yan's hand that kept stroking the pen, and now he looked at Qin Wei. She seemed to be thinking about something, with her head slightly lowered.

"In the manor owner's room, we found a key, but we're not sure what it opens."

She raised her hand, holding a long, thin metal key.

It looks very much like the long locks in classical times.

Shen Yao's eyes swept across the faces of several people, and when he saw the greed in Li Zhihai's eyes, he frowned almost imperceptibly.

Qin Wei continued, "There is a safe behind the portrait in the study, but it doesn't match this one, and the safe is not open yet."

"Pei Yan, do you have any solution?"

She looked at Pei Yan, but the latter kept his eyes on Gu Chaoxi.

"We'll have to see if Chaoxi has any solution."

"Me?" Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and pointed at himself, somewhat uncertain.

"Let's go take a look first."

After talking about this, they prepared to go down to the second floor to check the condition of the safe.

Luo Hai hurriedly got up from the ground and tried to find someone to support him, but no one paid any attention to him. He spoke in a trembling voice.

"Can you please take me with you? I'm scared. Please don't leave me!"

Gu Chaoxi looked at him, neither agreeing nor refusing, but just tugged at Pei Yan's sleeve, and then walked towards the second floor.

Qin Wei followed her in a few steps, put his arm around her elbow, grabbed her hand with one hand, and stuffed the key into it.

Feeling something extra in the palm of her right hand, she looked sideways and Qin Wei winked at her.

Thinking of Li Zhihai's appearance, Gu Chaoxi understood, clenched his palms, and put the key into his sleeve.

Qin Wei smiled and pulled her towards the study room.

"Little cutie, I'll take you to see it!"

Seeing that no one refused, Luo Hai immediately followed and grabbed Zhou Ziyan's arm.

No matter how Zhou Ziyan struggled, he held him tightly.
