When there was a knock on the door, Gu Chaoxi slowly opened his eyes.

She couldn't remember when she fell asleep.

In front of her was Pei Yan's face. Now that he had his eyes closed, she could see the length of his eyelashes more clearly.

The silver hair hangs down softly like a well-behaved puppy.

She was so close that she could almost feel the warmth of Pei Yan's breath.

The knocking on the door did not stop, and was accompanied by a questioning voice: "Pei Yan, are you awake?"

The sound was partially blocked, and when it came through it was no longer loud.

The eyelashes of the person in front of me trembled, as if he was about to open his eyes.

Gu Chaoxi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously stepped back, only to find that someone was holding his hand.

She looked over and saw Pei Yan's hand holding hers tightly.

She swallowed and looked up to see Pei Yan staring at her.

Perhaps because he had just woken up, there was no emotion in Pei Yan's eyes. It took a while before he smiled leisurely.

"Good morning, Chaoxi."

"Good morning." She nodded.

He let go of Gu Chaoxi's hand and turned over and got up first.

Before she could react, Pei Yan had already walked over and opened the door.

Qin Wei was standing outside, and when he finally opened the door, he blurted out a lot of words.

"Why did you just wake up? Did you know that it was the little cutie who went out last night?"

"I went to her room just now to look for her, but no one was there. What should I do?"

"Isn't she in trouble? Hey, can you please be more careful with the people you brought with you?"

"Pei Yan, I'm talking to you, are you awake?"

Feeling a little helpless, Pei Yan leaned against the door.

"Very sober."

Gu Chaoxi felt a little embarrassed. He sat up and tidied up his messy hair, then climbed off the bed and walked towards the door.

"Weiwei, I'm fine."

When her voice came, Qin Wei's gaze shifted from Pei Yan, and then he slowly raised his hand to cover his mouth.

"you!"

A light flashed in her eyes, as if she had discovered something shocking.

Realizing that she had misunderstood, Gu Chaoxi smiled helplessly and raised her finger to point at Pei Yan's bandaged arm.

"Pei Yan was injured last night. I'm worried. Please take care of him."

Glancing at the bandaged arm with a light layer of blood, Qin Wei quickly put away his joking expression.

"What happened last night?"

Pei Yan walked out and looked towards the corridor. Shen Yao was standing at the end of the corridor, and no one else was there.

"It's time for breakfast now. The woman has called us."

"Let's go to the restaurant first, and we'll talk in detail later."

"Ah."

Several people came to the restaurant together, and the woman was indeed standing near the door, just smiling slightly.

Li Zhihai was eating his breakfast in a hurry. When he saw them coming down, he snorted, as if he was very disdainful.

"You're all okay, that's great!"

When Shen Xi saw Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan come in, he immediately laughed.

They walked to their seats and sat down, nodding.

Today's breakfast is toast and milk, and there are still strawberries as after-meal fruit.

After eating a few bites of toast, Qin Wei couldn't help but ask.

"Pei Yan, tell me what happened last night."

"Then tell me about it."

He nodded, his eyes sliding across the faces of the other people, a little distracted.

Then, his eyes fell on the woman at the door.

"She would choose a sheep as her nightly game victim, and of course, the sheep was capable of attack."

"You can't kill this sheep the usual way. You need to chop its head off completely."

"You can't kill sheep by mistake. If you do, you will be punished. We don't know what the punishment is at the moment."

"In addition, we found a secret passage in the reception room that leads directly to the fourth floor, which is filled with gold, silver and treasures."

As soon as he said this, Li Zhihai's eyes lit up and he seemed impatient.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go to the fourth floor!"

His excitement seemed particularly strange compared to others.

Pei Yan ignored him and continued talking.

“As it stands, exploration of the estate is lacking.”

"In addition to the main building, we should also explore the buildings on the other two sides of the manor, but I don't know when we can go out."

Gu Chaoxi finished eating a piece of toast and drank a sip of milk before he felt a little stronger.

She took another piece of toast and took a bite, then turned to look at the woman. The smile on her face was faint, and she looked different from last night.

"Let's check if the door can be used to exit first, and then go to the fourth floor. I think everyone should find something to protect themselves."

She lowered her head to look at the dagger on her waist, then opened her mouth and took a bite of the toast.

"Well, in the box on the fourth floor, you can find some daggers and short swords. These things are good for beheading."

Pei Yan said the latter part with a smile on his face.

Qin Wei shuddered unconsciously and nudged Shen Yao with her elbow.

"Hey, do you think Pei Yan is a little abnormal now?"

Shen Yao shook his head.

Gu Chaoxi laughed. Qin Wei's voice was loud and almost everyone could hear it.

Pei Yan just raised his eyebrows and ate his toast, ignoring the words.

After everyone finished their meal, the woman at the door left leisurely and headed towards the room on the second floor.

The purpose of her presence seemed to be to supervise them while they were eating.

Gu Chaoxi took a few strawberries in his hand and ate them while walking towards the door.

The huge door was still closed. She walked over and pushed it, but it didn't move.

"It seems that it is not the right time yet."

Pei Yan touched his chin and recalled in his mind what he had seen since entering the main building.

It seems like he didn't overlook anything?

The reception room remained the same as it was yesterday. Gu Chaoxi walked over with ease, squatted down and directly lifted the brown carpet.

He felt around on the wool blanket, found the mechanism and pressed it.

Yesterday's secret passage was revealed again, and everyone looked over.

Qin Wei opened her eyes wide: "Yesterday Mingming?"

She looked towards Pei Yan, but saw him looking at Gu Chaoxi.

Li Zhihai was particularly excited and rushed over first, but when he reached the secret passage, he stopped again.

Turning around, his eyes moved back and forth between Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi, and then he looked at Gu Chaoxi steadily.

"Hey, you, come here and lead the way!"

After all, he was still afraid that something strange would rush out.

Gu Chaoxi just smiled and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Pei Yan saw her looking at him, and his eyes softened: "Let me lead the way."

"Yeah." She nodded happily, with curved eyebrows.

Seeing him coming, I immediately followed him.

Pei Yan walked in front, found the switch and turned on the light.

She leaned forward and tugged at Pei Yan's clothes on his waist: "Pei Yan, do you think that thing is still there?"

"Maybe not."

After all, when they came down, they didn't see those other things.

But I'm not sure about the sheep that have already died.
