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

The key was clean, new even, with hardly a scratch on it.

It looks like this key was just made and stored here.

She took out the key and looked at it from left to right. It certainly didn't look like it had been used.

Pei Yan took out the bottom of the jewelry box she put down, but this time, a note fell out.

"what?"

Qin Wei came over and took a glance, somewhat puzzled.

The note said "redemption" in English.

"It seems that this key is very important to this manor."

"Everyone is dead, so what's the point of it being important?"

Shen Yao suddenly said this, Qin Wei couldn't help laughing, and raised her hand to pat him on the back.

"Can you please not go off topic?"

Although what this guy said was indeed correct, regardless of how important this thing was, everyone in this manor had died in the accident.

Gu Chaoxi stuffed the key into Pei Yan's hand, glanced outside the study, and heard footsteps approaching.

"We haven't even looked at the first floor yet. Let's go check it out."

She stood up, swung her skirt, and walked towards the study door.

Li Zhihai, who came back empty-handed, happened to meet her face to face. He glanced her up and down and stepped aside to make way for her.

I guess it's because he just got some benefits and feels that they are still somewhat useful, so even his temper has been restrained a bit.

Pei Yan stood up and followed.

The same goes for Qin Wei and Shen Yao.

Shen Xi looked at the things on the ground, and saw that Qin Wei had left, so he trotted after her.

Zhou Ziyan was grabbed by Luo Hai and could only be dragged out.

Li Zhihai caught a glimpse of the jewelry they had thrown on the ground, his eyes lit up again, and he ran over to pick up all the things in his arms.

When they first arrived on the first floor, they only noticed that there was a long table and chairs inside the open door on the left, which looked like a restaurant.

There is a closed door on the right side of the hall.

After thinking about it, Gu Chaoxi went to the restaurant first.

In a restaurant that can accommodate dozens of people, there are only eight seats on the long dining table with tableware.

This means that this is indeed the place where the plane arranges food for them.

On the left side of the restaurant is an arch, which is an open kitchen.

The marble countertop was clean, and there were only a few dusty pots and a crack on the stove on one side.

She walked around the marble table, nothing special.

"Do you believe there is a mouse in the cupboard?"

Qin Wei reached out and opened the cupboard above the stove, then turned around and joked with Shen Xi half-jokingly.

Shen Xi was originally following Qin Wei. Attracted by what she said, he subconsciously looked up at the cupboard.

"what!"

After a quick and brief scream, Shen Xi buried his head in Qin Wei's shoulders, grabbing her clothes with both hands.

Several people who were frightened by her sudden scream also slowly looked up.

Then, there was a collective gasp.

This is not a rat at all, it is clearly a human skull, with two deep eye sockets staring at everyone with dark eyes.

"People will die here!"

Luo Hai, who was already in a bad mental state, was frightened even more and clung to Zhou Ziyan tightly.

Seeing that Zhou Ziyan had a bad expression on his face, Gu Chaoxi expressed some sympathy in his heart.

Qin Weixiao uttered a word and raised his hand to pat Shen Xi on the head.

"Hey, it won't come back to life."

Although that is what I said, this is the other world after all.

Ever since Shen Xi saw the transformed evil mountain god, he kept his distance from all such things.

Pei Yan walked over and opened the other side of the cupboard, and two complete skulls emerged from inside.

“It looks like there are quite a lot.”

He moved to the cupboard next to him, raised his hands and opened the cupboard door.

Gu Chaoxi took a glance and saw four skulls of different sizes neatly arranged.

"Could it be her family?"

"It's very likely." Qin Wei nodded: "After all, during the investigation, no one came to collect their bodies in this tragedy. They should have been thrown into a mass grave at random afterwards."

"Picking up the remains of your family members and putting their skulls in the cupboard? Is this some kind of fetish?"

Gu Chaoxi leaned against the marble table, looking with his head tilted.

The eye sockets of those skulls were relatively deep, and they looked dark in the cupboard.

Probably because his senses were not very good, Pei Yan raised his hand and closed the cupboard door.

Seeing this, Qin Wei also reached out and closed the cupboard door.

After being isolated by the cabinet door, Shen Xi's tension was obviously relaxed, and his shoulders even slumped down a little.

"Go over there and have a look."

Gu Chaoxi stood up straight and walked to the right side of the hall, holding up the hem of her skirt.

The big door here seems to be made of mahogany, with some symmetrical patterns carved on it. The door is the same height as the floor.

It seems that European-style luxury houses all like to build such doors, which look more imposing.

Her eyes fell on the door handle, which was made of copper and carved into the shape of wings, branching out on both sides.

It glowed coldly under the light.

She reached out and touched it, and it felt a little cold.

I pushed the door open with force, but there was no light inside.

Gu Chaoxi lowered her eyes. She really hated this dark and haunted place!

Come on, it wasn't even this dark when she was holding vigil at the funeral home!

Pei Yan saw her standing there motionless and knew what was going on.

He pushed the door open a little further, stepped inside and groped around.

It took him a while to find something that looked like a switch. As he pressed it, a light came on in the middle.

The hanging crystal chandelier is smaller than the one in the hall, and has glass balls hanging on it.

This room is similar to a huge semicircle. There are some chairs against the wall, and a small round table between every two chairs.

The entire room was covered with a wool carpet, with a round brown woven rug in the middle.

This kind of layout always feels very much like a living room, but it seems like something is missing.

She looked up and saw some broken ropes hanging from the ceiling.

But the broken part was very close to the ceiling and they couldn't reach it while standing.

"It should be just a living room."

Qin Wei looked around and felt a little disappointed.

Gu Chaoxi stared at the broken ropes in a daze.

Recalling the plot of a certain movie, she always felt that the meaning of these ropes was not simple, but she didn't know where to start now.

Pei Yan walked around, stomping the ground with his heels from time to time.

"Don't you think something is missing?"

"what?"

Qin Wei looked at Pei Yan, who was still walking slowly with his hands behind his back.

"A place to hide."

From what they had just seen when they surveyed the main building, they found that almost every floor was transparent, which was very strange in itself.

Qin Wei thought for a moment and said, "If we hide in the cellar, the cellar is also outdoors, and we can't leave the main building now."

"Not the cellar."

Gu Chaoxi shook his head. How could the robbers miss such an obvious place as the cellar?

The place where she hid must be a secret space known only to herself.
