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

"Let me take a look!" Qin Wei took the vessel from Gu Chaoxi's hand, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then thought about something.

"I heard that the villages that worshipped this mountain god in the past were mainly descendants of the Su family. This should be one of them, right?"

While the two were still pondering, Pei Yan walked to the main hall door and shouted, "I found a notebook."

Gu Chaoxi raised his eyes and walked out first.

In his hand was a thread-woven booklet, which looked to have only about a dozen pages in total.

The words on the cover are still clearly visible: "Strange Stories".

The three of them walked to the courtyard, sat on the ground, and spread out the booklet.

The text recorded inside is different from the cover, and with the passage of time, most of it has become a little blurry.

"Look at what's written." Pei Yan said this directly to Qin Wei.

The other party rolled his eyes, somewhat unhappy: "I will do whatever you say, don't I have any face?"

Although she complained, Qin Wei still started to identify it seriously.

Seeing that she was studying it carefully, Gu Chaoxi couldn't help but move closer.

In addition to text, this booklet also contains some interspersed pictures.

She looked at them one by one, and finally stopped at the last one.

The lines outline the statue of the goddess in the main hall, but in addition to the jade ruyi in her arms, the goddess also holds a sharp blade in her right hand.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the goddess statue. In the silence, the pair of black and white eyes seemed to see through her.

After shuddering for a moment, Gu Chaoxi came back to his senses and patted his face.

Pei Yan seemed to glance at her, but quickly looked away.

After a long while, Qin Wei straightened up and said with a sigh: "It's a rather sad story."

"Just say it." Pei Yan really didn't want to listen to her nonsense at all.

"Generally speaking, this recorder came to this village that believed in the mountain goddess, and happened to encounter the village chief marrying his daughter."

"According to the customs of this village, marriages must be reported to the mountain goddess, so the village chief came to the mountain temple to seek the goddess's consent."

"This recorder came here with the village chief out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, the goddess was furious and sent down a heavenly punishment. The village chief and his entire family died tragically."

"After that, the whole village was cursed. Anyone who tried to escape would die mysteriously. However, this recorder escaped the curse because he was an outsider, and then he wrote down what he saw and heard."

"Are there really ghosts and gods in this world?" Gu Chaoxi couldn't help but ask.

The other two were silent.

She paused, as if realizing how stupid her question was, and simply lowered her head without looking at anyone.

After a while, Pei Yan's voice rang out: "In fact, before I entered the other world, I didn't believe in ghosts and gods in this world."

Hearing the voice, Gu Chaoxi slightly tilted his head and looked at Pei Yan through the gaps in his scattered hair.

His silver hair was hanging down, the wound on his nose had scabbed over, and he looked a little tired.

At the beginning, they should have been as confused as Gu Chaoxi is now.

"Okay, it's okay!" She jumped up suddenly, full of energy again.

Qin Wei stared at her with eyes wide open, then looked at Pei Yan, and couldn't help but said, "Pei Yan, where did you find this little cutie?"

"Then we can eat first. I'm a little hungry." Gu Chaoxi looked at the time. There were still three hours until 5:30 in the afternoon!

She wants to make up for her fear by eating happily.

"Okay, I brought hot pot, let's eat together!" Qin Wei also cheered up.

Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and had no choice but to follow them.

He did not take the book of strange stories away, but put it back.

After all, it is better to have some awe in a place like this that is filled with the aura of gods and ghosts.

"Hey, how did Pei Yan find you? Why did you listen to his lies?"

Qin Wei seemed to be very dissatisfied with the fact that Gu Chaoxi followed Pei Yan.

She looked back at the people following behind her and smiled: "Money makes the world go round."

"Huh?" Qin Wei rolled her eyes and silently categorized the two of them into the same type.

After eating and drinking, Gu Chaoxi began to think about another question: "Is the other world entered the same way as the game?"

"If you understand it that way, it's actually not wrong." Qin Wei nodded.

As the time was approaching half past five, she couldn't help but become nervous.

Pei Yan took a cup of hot water and placed it in front of her, pointing at the steam.

"You can stare at it and relieve some of the tension."

She stared at the ball of heat, and gradually, a thick fog seemed to rise in front of her eyes, gradually covering everything in the world.

When the fog cleared, Gu Chaoxi was already standing on a muddy path. It seemed like it had just rained, and there was a fishy smell in the air.

She looked down and saw that she was wearing a pair of cloth shoes and a coarse linen shirt.

Maybe to fit the scene?

As I was thinking about it, the milky white display screen appeared in front of me again.

[Player: Gu Zhaoxi]

【Enter successfully】

[Game rule 1: Help the villagers complete the sacrificial ceremony]

[Game rule 2: Explore Longan County and find the truth]

[Note: All items outside the inner world have been blocked]

【Wish you a happy game】

The display faded away again.

Gu Chaoxi pursed his lips somewhat unhappily and looked ahead, seeing a village in front of him.

Looking further away, she seemed to be able to see a temple with candles burning inside. The faint candlelight made the statue flicker.

It feels like perspective.

"Let's go." Pei Yan came to her side at some point and patted her shoulder lightly.

Qin Wei was waiting for them just a few steps away.

There is a crooked locust tree at the entrance of the village. It has died, but its roots are still there.

As the three approached, a middle-aged man stumbled over, looking panicked: "There's a ghost, there's a ghost!"

He bumped into Pei Yan's arm and was so scared that he fell to the ground. He looked up and saw Pei Yan's face clearly, and immediately hugged his legs as if he had found a relative.

"Let's go, don't go there, there are ghosts in there, there really are ghosts!"

Seeing that the man was crying and about to touch Pei Yan, he raised his hand and pressed the man's shoulder.

"Ah!" With a howl, the man let go.

Pei Yan took two steps back and received a compliment from Qin Wei: "As violent as ever."

Only Gu Chaoxi was stunned. After all, this man looked to be around 40 years old, it shouldn’t be possible, right?

However, when I think about the fact that Pei Yan is a person who can come out of the other world, it is not surprising that he has some abilities.

The man sat on the ground crying, looking particularly miserable.

"Should we ignore him?" Seeing that Pei Yan and Qin Wei had already walked forward, she couldn't help but ask.

Qin Wei looked back, somewhat helplessly: "Little cutie, we are not strong enough to save everyone."

She thought about it, and said to the middle-aged man: "If you don't want to die, I suggest you come with us."

After saying that, she didn't care whether the man heard her or not, and quickly caught up with Pei Yan and Qin Wei.

"You know, helping the weak in the other world is useless, because in the next dimension, you can't guarantee that you can save him again."

Pei Yan had no expression when he said this, even his eyes were cold.

She was a little scared by being stared at, so she lowered her eyelids and whispered, "I know."

Qin Wei touched her shoulder and gave her a comforting look.

She just smiled and said nothing more.
