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

The house in front of me looks more like the house of an ordinary wealthy family.

The first floor is used as a hall and restaurant, separated by a corridor.

There is a long solid wood table and sparsely placed chairs in the restaurant. Looking a little further inside, there is an open kitchen.

There are sofas in the hall, a hand-woven wool carpet in the middle, and a huge fireplace by the wall, which is great for heating in winter.

Going to the second floor, it feels like a room belonging to one person alone.

There is a huge bed with light pink curtains, two fluffy pillows on the bed, and the bedding is in warm colors.

Looking to the side, there is a round table and chairs.

The room was spacious, with a stove built into the wall opposite the foot of the bed.

Going around the wall, this side looks more like an old-fashioned cloakroom.

But now there was nothing inside, just a few petticoats scattered on the ground.

There is also a separate bathroom on the second floor. There is a small dressing table next to the door, which seems to be designed to make it more convenient for people living here.

Walking up to the third floor, it looked like a small attic with a bed.

There were several short bookcases against the wall, with a few miscellaneous books and a few bundles of newspapers scattered around.

Looking out through the round window, you can see the side building on the other side.

There were some scattered clothes on the carpet in the room, and a pair of shoes was pressed under the clothes beside the bed.

In addition, there was even a few potted plants in the slightly spare space, with some sparse ribbons hanging on them.

It must have been taken out and displayed during festivals in the past.

"This building looks more like a place where she would live."

Gu Chaoxi's hand gently touched the bed curtain. When he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see how the little princess played here at that time.

This may be her own piece of treasure.

Pei Yan squatted down and pulled aside the scattered clothes on the ground, but found nothing.

“It’s so clean here.”

What the plane presented was limited, and they did not find the key things.

He took out the other unused key and looked out into the sky.

"What does this key relate to?"

"Pei Yan!"

It was Qin Wei's voice.

The two walked to the window, opened it and looked down. Qin Wei was waving at them.

"Come down, cellar!"

The direction she pointed was the back of the building.

The two looked at each other and quickly walked down the stairs.

It was Shen Yao who first discovered the cellar, and then he called Qin Wei to go over and take a look.

The opening of the cellar was old, and weeds had grown on the large wooden boards covering it, and it seemed to be merging with the lawn next to it.

Fortunately, it was not difficult to clean up, and the original state of the entire wooden board was soon revealed.

There is a short handle on top.

Shen Yao squatted down, gripped it tightly and lifted it up. After a "creaking" sound, the wooden board was lifted up heavily.

Several people stepped forward in tacit understanding and quickly moved the wooden board away completely, revealing the stairs to the cellar entrance.

Looking down, it was pitch black.

"There should be a light. I'll go down and take a look."

Pei Yan glanced at Gu Chaoxi inconspicuously, and walked down first, holding on to the wall.

Shen Yao immediately followed behind: "I'll go with you."

"Be careful, in case there's anything weird!"

Gu Chaoxi stood by without moving, just squatting and looking deep inside.

Pei Yan raised his hand and made an OK gesture, then walked down step by step with Shen Yao.

There was a slight "puffing" sound as footsteps stepped on the steps.

Qin Wei turned his head to look at her and squatted down as well: "Did you find anything upstairs just now?"

"No." She shook her head.

"This building looks like a small, single-family home. There's nothing special about it."

"Is that so?" Qin Wei scratched his cheek and sighed: "Including this cellar, we should have explored the manor completely, right? But what is the truth?"

Gu Chaoxi has not forgotten the rules of the game in Xishu Manor.

But now that I think about it, many things still don’t make sense.

Why does it feel like this plane has given us so little?

Subconsciously, she already felt that the little princess's lover and the robbers were in cahoots with each other, but she didn't have enough evidence to prove it.

The plane seems to be hiding something.

"Weiwei, tell me, has the plane improved?"

The disappearing "flock of sheep" and the extermination of an entire family without any supporting evidence.

No matter how many robbers there are, is it really that easy to capture a manor like this?

Suddenly, a dim yellow light flashed in the cellar, and then it became bright.

Gu Chaoxi finally smiled, stood up on his knees, glanced at Qin Wei who was still squatting, and stretched out his hand.

"Weiwei, get up."

Qin Wei put her hand in Gu Chaoxi's hand and used the force to stand up from the ground.

"Okay, don't let me steal if I'm lazy."

"Go down and have a look."

Gu Chaoxi smiled, and the two of them walked down together.

When they walked downstairs, they found that the cellar was much larger than they had imagined.

This side close to the cellar entrance looks like a simple place for storing wine. If there wasn't a small doorway on the side, they would probably think the cellar was only that big.

I bent down and crawled through the doorway, and saw a slightly larger hole.

It is called this because this side does not look to be in good repair and there is a wooden door on the other side.

This wooden door has no lock, and the entire door frame is simply embedded in the wall.

There was even light from the other side shining through the cracks in the wooden door.

Pei Yan and Shen Yao were standing at the door at this time.

Turning around, I saw Gu Chaoxi and Qin Wei coming, and no one said anything.

Pei Yan reached out and gently pushed the door open. The old door made a long creaking sound, which made people's hair stand on end in the closed cellar.

Fortunately, nothing strange happened.

Inside the opened door was a cave even lower than the current one.

There were some utensils scattered on the ground, as well as fire tongs and broken iron chains hanging on the wall.

Pei Yan walked in, turned his head, and paused.

"what happened?"

Noticing Pei Yan's stubbornness, Gu Chaoxi looked in his direction and was also stunned.

Sitting against the gray wall was a skeleton dressed in a black suit, with even some short black hair left.

The skeleton was sitting with its upper body upright, its sunken eye sockets facing this side.

I didn't see it just now because I opened the door but didn't walk in. Now that I'm facing it, it makes me feel a chill down my spine.

Qin Wei slowly opened his mouth and looked away: "Is he imprisoned here?"

"It looks like it is."

There were two iron chains hanging on the wall behind the skeleton. At the end of the chains, there were handcuffs on the skeleton's wrists.

He was locked here.

Pei Yan walked closer and squatted down to observe carefully.

"The bones are not injured. It is highly likely that the cause of death was traumatic and the bones turned into white bones naturally."
