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

She shook her head, looked at the wooden box with certainty, and said firmly: "I'm sure."

No one had ever known that when she was in a highly tense state, she could hear clearly all the sounds around her.

If she wants, she can even compare the current sound with what she has heard in the past, which is equivalent to a sound processor.

Pei Yan was silent.

Perhaps because she knew that he would always do what he decided to do, Qin Wei pulled Gu Chaoxi's hand again.

"Pei Yan, it's getting late now. We have to go back before dark. Can we come back tomorrow?"

Understanding Qin Wei's meaning, Gu Chaoxi couldn't help but persuade him.

"Pei Yan, Shen Yao and the others don't know about this secret room. If we die here, the mission will come to a standstill."

No matter what, we have to go back and share resources first.

We can't let others die with them.

Pei Yan's gaze remained on Gu Chaoxi's face for a long time before he lowered his eyes.

"Come back tomorrow."

Heaving a sigh of relief, she and Qin Wei immediately walked towards the stone steps.

But her nerves were always tense and she couldn't ignore the faint breath.

She looked back again and saw the box sitting quietly in a corner of the room.

The candlelight flickered, and the shadow of the wooden box swayed left and right on the wall.

It seemed that in the next second, the shadow would turn into a ghost and pounce on her.

She frowned, turned around and walked upstairs without stopping.

As they got closer to the exit, the space became a bit cramped, and the three were forced to bend down, constantly groping for the mechanism on the wall with their hands.

"Click"

Gu Chaoxi put his hand on a protruding stone, and the floor tiles above his head finally moved away slowly.

She climbed up, breathing in deep gulps of fresh air, feeling like she had survived a disaster.

Qin Wei helped her up from the ground and they walked out together.

The sky has turned gray and it looks like night is about to fall.

Pei Yan followed the two of them out, looked up, and this time he just pursed his lips and said nothing.

Gu Chaoxi glanced at him, wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

The three of them walked back together.

On the way back, the body that was originally covered with rags had disappeared, leaving only a pool of dried blood on the ground.

Also, a jade ring and an identity card.

Her eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, and just as she was about to ask, Pei Yan had already answered.

"The NPCs will take care of those who die in the plane."

She nodded and fell silent again.

When we walked into the house, Shen Yao and the others had already returned. One side of the house was filled with the necessary offerings.

However, the expressions of these four people didn’t look right.

On the table was the dinner that Shen Yao and his friends brought back. It was still a white flour bun and a steamed bun, but the rice soup was replaced by wild vegetable soup.

Gu Chaoxi took a sip of the wild vegetable soup and couldn't help coughing twice. It was really hard to swallow.

Pei Yan sat down and took a bite of the steamed bun. He looked dazed and his eyes wandered off.

"What's wrong with you guys? Are you all depressed?"

Qin Wei was still quite energetic and asked about the situation while eating steamed bun.

The two men were completely speechless, and the woman just looked at Shen Yao with complicated eyes and lowered her head again.

Fortunately, Shen Yao had a strong psychological quality. After hesitating for a while, he slowly spoke.

"After collecting the offerings, we went to the village chief's house to check the situation. It was simply a massacre scene."

There was blood splattered everywhere and corpses were scattered throughout the yard, all of them dead with their eyes open.

This plane preserves the tragic situation of that time.

Despite the physical discomfort, Shen Yao still led them to search for clues in the strong smell of blood.

"What's wrong?"

Pei Yan came back to his senses, drank a sip of wild vegetable soup, and looked at Shen Yao.

He swallowed and looked a little uneasy: "The village chief's daughter is missing."

At this moment, the sky outside became completely dark.

The wind blew, and the dilapidated wooden door creaked.

On such a strange night, everything was magnified countless times, even the fear in people's hearts.

The silence almost drowned everyone, but Qin Wei once again broke the mysterious atmosphere.

"Okay, let's talk about what we found today."

She drummed her hands on the table, a sound that drew everyone's attention.

"First, there was the coffin. Inside was a man's skeleton. Inside was a record book written from the perspective of the village chief's daughter, but it was incomplete."

"There are Sanskrit inscriptions around the coffin, which roughly mean to ward off evil spirits and bless a smooth reincarnation."

"The other is the mountain god temple. We found a secret room inside that houses the evil side of the mountain god."

When she said this, Qin Wei paused, took a deep breath, and was obviously thinking about the wooden box.

Seeing that she looked a little tired, Gu Chaoxi took over the conversation.

"We also found a nailed wooden box in the secret room. There were runes engraved on it to scare away evil spirits, but there were breathing sounds coming from inside."

Shen Yao almost immediately whispered: "You said there was breathing in there?"

"Yes." She nodded.

The expressions of the other people also became even uglier.

Shen Yao gestured helplessly, looking at the three of them in disbelief.

"No, breathing? How is that possible! Breathing means being alive, and I have never seen a living thing in the other world!"

Gu Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, as if she suddenly understood why Pei Yan looked at her seriously at that time.

"It's definitely the sound of breathing."

She couldn't have heard him wrong.

Shen Yao stood up and paced back and forth anxiously.

"Do you know what it means to breathe?"

He suddenly rushed to Gu Chaoxi, pressed his hands hard on her shoulders, and his eyes were a little red.

She took a breath with some pain.

The next second Pei Yan stood up and pushed Shen Yao away: "Talk nicely and don't touch me."

Shen Yao just glanced at Pei Yan and shook his head fiercely: "Too ridiculous, really too ridiculous."

Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and rubbed the shoulder that had just been hurt by Shen Yao. When he raised his eyes, he saw Pei Yan sat down again.

Qin Wei smiled bitterly and explained in a low voice in her ear: "The plane we entered before, even though there were all kinds of strange powers and gods, there were absolutely no creatures that could breathe. In other words, the current plane has exceeded our previous understanding of the inner world."

As if worried that Qin Wei's explanation was not clear enough, Pei Yan added another sentence.

"This means that the other world is getting closer and closer to the real world."

If you think about it more deeply, maybe later on, you won’t even be able to tell which are your companions and which are ghosts and gods.

It was not until this moment that Gu Chaoxi really felt sweating profusely.

If this is true, I am afraid that in the future, more and more people will enter the other world.

After all, the death rate will continue to rise.
