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

Gu Chaoxi understood and ran to the second floor almost immediately.

The door of the studio was still open. If she could get around from this side, there would only be one way for the White Rose man to go.

Their speeds are almost equal.

When they ran to the second floor, Pei Yan was blocking the stairs over there and not letting the White Rose man leave.

His dark eyes seemed to be thinking about something. Suddenly, he kicked his legs and jumped onto the railing of the terrace.

"Oops."

Gu Chaoxi stopped and leaned against the railing. She was five or six steps away from the man.

His head swayed from side to side, looking at Gu Chaoxi and then at Pei Yan.

They almost forgot that this person is a goat, and his running and jumping abilities are far beyond those of ordinary people to a certain extent.

Seeing him swaying as if he was about to fall, Gu Chaoxi's heart was in his throat.

what can we do about it?

Is there any way to kill him directly without hurting anyone by mistake?

Pei Yan suddenly pounced forward, and the moment his hand grabbed the collar of the White Rose man, he also fell backwards.

"Pei Yan!"

She watched two people fall from the terrace together. When she bent down to look, she saw that the man just rolled on the ground and stood up quickly.

Pei Yan was kneeling on one knee on the ground. He seemed to have fallen and hurt his arm just now, and now he had his head down.

After taking a look at the distance to the first floor, Gu Chaoxi obediently walked up the stairs.

However, when she reached the first floor, she did not see the man in the crowd.

There are only a few people here, where can he hide?

"living room."

Pei Yan stood up and covered his left elbow with his right hand.

"Are you OK?"

She leaned forward to take a look, but Pei Yan just pushed her hand away and shook his head: "It's okay."

"Okay." He lowered his eyes and didn't say anything more. He just walked towards the reception room with Pei Yan.

"There's nowhere for him to hide in such an open place."

"uncertain."

Pei Yan denied this statement and met her gaze.

"I checked the floor of the living room and there is a problem."

"But you then?"

She clearly remembered that Pei Yan didn't say anything at that time.

That’s not right. At that time, the woman interrupted him and asked him to eat, so no one asked Pei Yan.

So now...

"Is there really a secret room in the living room?"

"You'll find out once you go in and take a look."

The two pushed open the door and walked in. As expected, there was no sign of anyone in the empty living room. Only a corner of the brown carpet on the floor was lifted up, revealing the white wool blanket underneath.

"Chaoxi, go and take a look."

He spoke beside her, and Gu Chaoxi obediently walked over and squatted down.

His fingers groped on the white wool blanket for a while before he felt a slight dent.

I carefully felt the depression with my fingertips, and it seemed like there were some symbols engraved on it.

If you touch a little further out, you will find a round depression.

This is?

organ?

She pressed down gently and heard a slight "click".

Then, she glanced sideways and saw that two chairs had moved along with the floor, revealing a black hole.

It's a dark place again.

She frowned, feeling somewhat resistant.

Pei Yan was already walking towards that place, and she couldn't say she didn't want to go, so she had to bite the bullet and follow him.

The walls of the secret passage seemed to be covered with something like wallpaper, and one could even feel the patterns when touching it with one's hands.

"Click!"

It was a very small sound. Gu Chaoxi's ears trembled slightly, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Pei Yan turned around and looked at her: "That's good, isn't it."

"Yeah." Gu Chaoxi nodded.

It turned out that he was walking so slowly just now because he was looking for the switch of the secret passage light?

Gu Chaoxi didn't bother to add so much drama to himself, he just quickened his pace and followed Pei Yan forward.

The road is not wide, and if two people walk side by side, they cannot fully stretch their arms.

But as they walked one in front and one behind, there was some room left on both sides.

The path initially went downwards, but after winding around for a while, it suddenly started to go up stairs.

Gu Chaoxi looked up and saw that there was a turn further up the stairs.

From this perspective, this staircase is clearly inside the main building.

But when they searched the rooms today, they didn't miss any room?

She thought about it carefully and her eyes lit up.

"Pei Yan, we have always forgotten the area."

"Ok?"

She looked up but did not stop.

"We have only been paying attention to what items in the room can be used as a basis for inferring the story, forgetting that our fundamental purpose is to explore this manor."

"If we stay in the main building and can't go out, it means that our exploration of the manor has failed."

"We can't get out of the main building, partly because we haven't finished exploring the main building yet."

"The staircase we are walking on now is inside the main building. Thinking back, the size of the restaurant and the corresponding size of the room above are actually wrong."

"The reason why it didn't attract attention before was because the number of room dividers above was inconsistent, so we didn't think to compare them."

Pei Yan paused for a moment, then continued walking upwards.

What Gu Chaoxi said was right. Because the number of rooms was not the same, they subconsciously thought that the area exposed below was the same size.

It’s like many people would think that the secret room of the reception room must be downstairs, but it happens to be up there where no one notices it.

Until the road ahead gradually became wider, Gu Chaoxi knew that they had arrived at the so-called fourth floor.

When she walked out and looked, she found that this first floor was not very high and she could reach the top with a slight jump.

No wonder people outside would mistakenly think there are only three floors.

Pei Yan groped along the wall for a while and finally found the switch.

Small circles of light lit up, and the entire fourth floor became bright.

The lights were hung on the criss-crossing beams. Looking around, almost the entire floor was filled with huge wooden boxes with red symbols printed on them.

"It's the family symbol."

Pei Yan pointed, and that symbol was the one he saw in the picture album.

Perhaps because it had been abandoned for a long time, the wooden box was covered with cobwebs and looked shabby.

She listened with her head tilted, her eyes looking somewhere.

A piece of clothing was pulled back by someone.

"found it."

Her voice was relatively soft, and she raised her finger and pointed, and Pei Yan immediately understood.

"Not urgent."

He walked to the nearest wooden box. Fortunately, these boxes were not nailed shut, but only covered.

He reached out and pushed open the lid, taking a breath.

"Morning and evening."

Pei Yan called her lightly, and when she walked over, she was also shocked.

The box was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and the utensils inside were all made of gold and inlaid with colorful diamonds.

This manor is far more wealthy than what outsiders see.
