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

This two-story study is indeed very spacious.

There is a desk near the window on the first floor, but there is nothing on it.

On the left is a bookcase, still covered with various red and green book covers.

On the right side of the study, there were several paintings hanging. One of the paintings had just been taken down and placed on the ground, revealing the safe behind it.

There is a small staircase on one side of the room that leads to the second floor. Standing in the middle of the study and looking up, you can see that the entire four walls of the second floor are covered with bookcases.

Qin Wei looked at the old-fashioned safe, which had only a twist combination lock on it.

"It is obviously unrealistic to try to break open this kind of safe now."

What's more, since it is embedded in the wall, they can't dig the safe out of the wall now.

Pei Yan walked in and looked around, holding a pen in his right hand and poking the palm of his left hand rhythmically.

Did he regard this pen as his own?

Gu Chaoxi's eyes were fixed on the movements of his hands. Pei Yan's left hand was spread out, with long and distinct knuckles.

She thought of those celebrity idols who were hyped up by their fans. Pei Yan’s looks and conditions were not inferior to theirs.

The moment when Pei Yan covered her mouth with his slender fingers, which were warm, flashed through her mind.

Her face is a little hot now.

Holding his face with his hands, Gu Chaoxi closed his eyes and cursed himself quietly in his heart.

Beauty is misleading!

What’s more, it’s this guy Pei Yan!

Gu Chaoxi, please wake up!

She bit her lip, remembering Pei Yan saying that he fell asleep listening to her piano playing, and her face became hot again.

No, no!

She was about to be led into trouble by this guy Pei Yan.

Qin Wei tilted her head, not knowing why Gu Chaoxi suddenly started patting her face with both hands.

She blinked: "Little cutie, what are you doing? Are you thinking about love?"

"You are the one who is thinking about love!"

Gu Chaoxi came back to his senses, calmed down in an instant, and mechanically turned his head and walked towards the safe.

Although she had seen in TV dramas that many agents rely on listening to the sound to open this kind of combination lock.

but......

"This is the first time I've actually seen a safe like this!"

"It's okay, you can try it."

Pei Yan's fingers moved, and the pen turned a circle on his fingertips and was held in his hand.

He walked over, his arm almost touching Gu Chaoxi's arm.

"This safe is old-fashioned and hasn't been locked yet, so you can try a few more times."

"How long do we have to try the four-digit password?"

Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and touched it. It felt icy cold and there was a little dust on his fingertips.

Pei Yan smiled: "It's very simple. Just concentrate. When you turn to the correct number, it will make a lock sound, similar to the click sound when we usually open the door."

"Then why don't you come?"

She raised her eyes and glanced at them. Some people were quite good at talking about theory.

Pei Yan shrugged and said, "I have poor hearing."

If the sound of a safe being locked was so easy to hear, it wouldn't be called a safe.

Therefore, only someone like Gu Chaoxi, who has extraordinary hearing, is the most suitable person to try to open the combination lock.

He raised his hand and gently patted Gu Chaoxi's head, smiling harmlessly.

"Chao Xi, I believe you can do it."

Qin Wei also laughed: "Little cutie, you are awesome!"

She was somewhat speechless, and her eyes slowly moved over to look at Shen Yao, who was always silent.

Staring at her, Shen Yao swallowed his saliva and slowly opened his mouth: "Come on."

Gu Chaoxi sighed helplessly, turned around and looked at the safe in front of him.

"let me try."

She actually didn't quite know what the locking sound Pei Yan was talking about was. She raised her hand to wipe the safe and put her ear close to it, imitating the scenes in TV dramas.

Holding the combination lock in his right hand, he twisted it clockwise while carefully identifying the sound inside.

This safe must be well designed. When she listened carefully to the sounds inside, the gears were still turning smoothly.

It just seems that there is no so-called lock-closing sound.

His right hand was still twisting slowly, the gears were turning more smoothly, and the sounds were becoming more continuous.

"Kaka."

It was a small sound, but she heard it.

The corners of her mouth inadvertently raised, she knew what the sound was.

It's like a tiny strip falling into the dedicated card slot, and the moment it's snapped on, there's a sound of friction.

Even though he knew what the sound was, Gu Chaoxi didn't relax.

She continued to spin, trying to get to three.

No one spoke, just waiting for her quietly.

Pei Yan's gentle gaze fell on her, with a smile in his eyes.

"Kaka."

When the last number fell, Gu Chaoxi clearly felt that the strength in his right hand was lighter, not as heavy as when he first pinched it.

She tried to pull the safe out.

With a very crisp "click", the safe door was opened by her.

There are two compartments inside, with three gold bars stacked together on the upper level and four small jewelry boxes on the lower level.

There doesn't seem to be anything useful?

Gu Chaoxi was a little depressed. He thought the owner of the manor would put some secrets in it, but it turned out to be just money.

She turned her head to look at Pei Yan and opened her mouth: "Yes!"

Qin Wei leaned over and sighed, "What's the use?"

She reached out and took out several jewelry boxes one by one and put them in her arms, then squatted down and placed them on the ground.

As for the three gold nuggets, they were so obvious that they didn't even catch her attention.

Li Zhihai's eyes lit up when he saw the gold nuggets.

Seeing Pei Yan and the others gathered around four jewelry boxes, he rushed over and took out the gold bars without saying a word.

"What a bunch of cowards, you don't even want this good thing!"

He laughed and held it tightly in his arms, afraid that someone would snatch it from him.

Gu Chaoxi looked up at him, not knowing whether to say a word, but Pei Yan's hand was already blocking her.

Without even looking up, he reached down to pick up one of the jewelry boxes.

"Take it if you want. No one will take it from you."

Blinking, Gu Chaoxi's attention was drawn to the opened jewelry box, which contained a silver bracelet.

It still looks shiny and doesn't look like it has been stored for a long time.

After hearing what Pei Yan said, Li Zhihai turned around and walked out of the study.

Few people cared where he was going. Anyway, he couldn't take the gold nuggets out, so there was no use in taking them.

Pei Yan took out the bracelet and put it on the ground, then took out the entire bottom of the jewelry box, but there was nothing inside.

"Do you think the jewelry box has small compartments?"

Gu Chaoxi knew it by looking at his actions.

Pei Yan nodded, Qin Wei and Shen Yao had already taken one and opened it each.

"Apparently not."

In the box that Qin Wei opened was a gold bracelet, which looked no different from a silver bracelet.

Inside the box that Shen Yao opened was a night-shining pearl. It seemed as if it could actually glow, making Shen Yao's hands appear light green.

Gu Chaoxi opened the last box and found a key inside.

"This should be considered a harvest."
