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

"The game is about to begin."

This sentence was like a switch. Those people who originally had normal appearance began to shake their heads again, and the goat horns appeared again.

Gu Zhaoxi frowned: "It seems a little more exaggerated than yesterday."

Yesterday she saw those people growing goat horns, which were thin and long.

But today, it felt that the horns grown from these things were much more symmetrical and slightly thicker than yesterday.

Pei Yan went downstairs first, while Gu Chaoxi stood still, still looking down at the scene below.

After all, the person who drew the Queen card today was Pei Yan, so even if she didn't go down, it wouldn't affect the continuation of the game.

Sure enough, when Pei Yan walked to the first floor, everyone's attention shifted to him.

Those originally lifeless eyes locked onto him as if they had found their target.

The little princess still smiled and pointed to the only empty seat in the circle.

"Dear guest, please take a seat."

As if he could guess, Gu Chaoxi smiled and leaned on the railing, bending slightly.

After Pei Yan sat down, those people withdrew their gazes and looked straight ahead, with their eyes focused on the center of the circle.

The little princess slowly walked two steps around the circle, with her hands hanging down and intertwined in front of her.

"I think everyone has played the game of Drop the Handkerchief. We use this method to choose the two sheep tonight."

One more than yesterday?

Gu Chaoxi frowned when he saw the little princess slowly raising a handkerchief.

The handkerchief fluttered down in front of one of them.

It almost turned its entire head behind it and looked at the little princess with some confusion.

"You throw it. The next person you choose needs to pick up the handkerchief and chase you."

“If you get caught up by the next person, you’re the sheep for the night.”

"If the person who picked up the handkerchief didn't catch up with the person in front of him, he would need to choose someone to throw the handkerchief to."

"When two people are caught up, the handkerchief game ends."

"do you understand?"

She explained it very clearly, and except for Pei Yan, everyone else nodded blankly.

"Pei Yan, this game has nothing to do with you."

It’s just a choice of sheep, no one will throw a handkerchief to Pei Yan.

He looked up at Gu Chaoxi. Her hair was a little loose. She had already untied it herself and it was now draped loosely behind her.

A few strands of shorter hair disobeyedly slipped from her shoulders and hung in front of her body.

As she lowered her head, her hair swayed slightly.

He smiled and agreed with her.

The first person who picked up the handkerchief had already stood up. He stood there for a moment, then began to walk around in a circle, as if thinking about who he should throw the handkerchief to.

As the handkerchief fell, the man quickly ran to his position.

The person who picked up the handkerchief did not hesitate and immediately got up and chased after him.

However, it was a second late, and the first person had already sat down.

Gu Chaoxi looked and seemed to see a hint of confusion on the face of the person standing there.

But soon, he continued to walk in circles, looking for his target.

She watched for a long time, but no one was caught.

The little princess was not in a hurry either. She just stood there watching, motionless.

Pei Yan turned his head to glance at the person who was throwing the handkerchief. He quickly threw the handkerchief down and ran towards his position.

During this time, the person who picked up the handkerchief started chasing him.

But their speeds, to some extent, are converging.

If this continues, it seems that the people behind will never catch up with the people in front.

He stood up from the ground and looked up at Gu Chaoxi on the second floor.

She straightened up, pursed her lips and walked downstairs.

The handkerchief was thrown down again. This time, Pei Yan picked up the handkerchief before the person on the ground turned around and rushed over quickly.

The person sitting there turned around, saw that there was nothing behind him, and turned his head back again.

Pei Yan was fast enough and grabbed the man's collar just as he was about to sit down.

Due to inertia, the man fell backwards.

The slender goat horn slid in an arc in the air, and Pei Yan turned sideways and dodged it.

"First person, you can quit the game temporarily."

The man who was caught by Pei Yan looked a little annoyed. He glared at Pei Yan slightly, then walked aside after listening to the little princess' words.

There was only one person left, but now it was Pei Yan who was thrown away.

He casually threw it behind someone and quickly ran towards his own position, so naturally no one could catch up with him.

When the person who picked up the handkerchief threw it away, Gu Chaoxi understood.

These people excluded them from their games, so Pei Yan would not be thrown handkerchiefs at, and might even be ignored to some extent.

But, being caught by him is also effective.

so......

Gu Chaoxi simply followed the man holding the handkerchief, following closely.

When the handkerchief fell, she reached out with her left hand to catch it, and at the same time reached out with her right hand to grab the person who was about to escape.

The handkerchief was in her hand, and the rules of the game stood.

"The second person is chosen, and the handkerchief game is over."

The rest of the people were still sitting on the ground, still looking forward.

The force in his hand loosened, and the person who was being grabbed broke free.

The two selected people seemed to have received some kind of instructions and suddenly rushed upstairs.

The little princess looked at them and smiled.

"If a wolf kills the wrong sheep, it will be punished!"

"Let's get started. I'm already looking forward to the dawn."

As she finished her words, the scene seemed to change a lot.

The sound of clinking glasses gradually began to be heard around them, the hall became lively, and figures walked past them.

Everything became clearer, people in evening gowns were walking around with smiles on their faces, holding wine glasses.

But without exception, these people all have goat horns.

"Wait, those two people just now."

There were quite a few people coming down the stairs from the second floor, which meant that the two people who had just been selected were also among them.

Pei Yan nodded: "Do you remember what those two people were wearing just now?"

Gu Chaoxi took out the dagger from her waist and nodded. She remembered it.

The one caught by Pei Yan was wearing a black tuxedo with a white lily pinned on his chest.

Her hair was combed back and she wore a small round hat with a gold rim.

As for the man she caught, he was wearing a blue tuxedo, a tie-dyed scarf around his neck, and a gold ring on his right ring finger.

Both of them have average build, nothing special.

There were far more people in the hall than just twelve.

Pei Yan frowned and tightened his grip on the dagger.

"Chaoxi, please be safe."

The other people who appear can be touched, so they are not just illusions.

In such a crowded situation, it is easy to accidentally hurt others.

"I know, you too."

She had seen the blue tuxedo.
