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

Chapter 617 The Young Master and the Black Shadow

Two candles were lit, and Pei Yan and Shen Yao each held one.

After entering the passage, Pei Yan walked in front, Gu Chaoxi and Violet walked in the middle, and Shen Yao was the last.

After entering, Shen Yao pushed the secret door closed, and the door became tightly closed, as if no one had ever entered the room.

The passage was dark and could only be illuminated by the candles in their hands.

Violet couldn’t help but shiver; it was too cold in the passage.

The passage does not go forward;

The further down we went, the colder it seemed. After going down about one floor, the passage began to extend forward, and it seemed that we had reached a space built underground.

At first, the walls on both sides were covered with mud. Although they were hard, if you scratched them hard with your fingers, you could still get some mud.

I walked until I reached a dead end, and there was a large wooden board blocking the way.

Pei Yan stopped, and the people behind him stopped as well.

He raised his hand and pressed the wooden board twice. It looked like it could be pushed open, but there seemed to be something blocking the front.

I shook the board slightly and it swayed left and right, so I just tried pushing it to the sides.

The wooden board was cut open along the right side, and the candle light shone in front, revealing a relatively empty area.

Or rather, this place looks like a bunker.

The area blocked by the wooden board is not high, and you need to bend down to walk over it.

Pei Yan bent down and crawled in, then turned sideways and held up a candle to light up the back, and Gu Chaoxi followed closely behind.

The air suddenly became more spacious from its originally thin environment. She couldn't help but take two deep breaths and look around.

The four walls here are built with very wide stones, which is much more advanced than the tunnels simply dug out. There are even a few kerosene lamps hanging on the ceiling, which seem to be able to light up.

Violet and Shen Yao followed behind.

Gu Chaoxi raised his hand to signal, and Pei Yan understood immediately. He went over and tried to put the candle into the kerosene lamp, and it was lit.

With the light above our heads, the whole environment became brighter.

In addition to the small hole they just came from, there are two roads extending upwards, which seem to lead to the ground.

The sides and tops of the two roads are also made of stones, which is obviously original.

The road they had just walked on looked more like it had been dug by someone later, and not in a high-profile manner.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for one end of the road to be connected to the eldest young master's room, and it would be located in such a corner.

In this space, large wooden boxes are stacked up along the walls on all sides.

These boxes looked old and were covered with a layer of dust that no one had cleaned.

There is a square table in the middle of the room, with four chairs around it.

The table and chairs were incredibly clean. Of course, what surprised them the most was not this small room and passage, but the large black cloak placed on the back of one of the chairs.

Gu Chaoxi picked up the cloak and looked at it, then tried it on herself. There was no problem in covering her completely.

This should be the cloak used by the black shadow.

After all, the person who came to the eldest young master's yard later had a cloak like this, but it was obviously for daily use and was not so long and wide.

So, the young master is indeed connected to that black shadow.

Moreover, what was the significance of him building this secret passage?

The four people looked around the space for a while. Except for the table and chairs in the middle that had been used for a long time, the rest of the space was full of dust.

In other words, at most they can chat about things here or use this channel to go out, but in fact this space is not that useful to them.

But last night, there was a period of time when the room was pitch black. They should have come down to the tunnel at that time.

What can't be said in the room that requires us to go down through this tunnel?

Unless they have something to do and must go out at night, and no one else can know about it.

Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and touched his chin, then looked towards the other two passages.

“I don’t know where this passage leads to.”

Pei Yan sat down next to her, looked at the large cloak, and pursed his lips: "At least it's not in the general's mansion."

The secret passage that the young master had hidden with great effort could not possibly just connect to the general's mansion; it must be a way to leave directly from here.

Another point is about the things that Black Shadow got.

Is the relationship between the young master and the black shadow a subordinate one or a cooperative one?

"It feels like it's still too little. We can't just ask him directly, right? And where did all the things he got go?"

If Black Shadow didn't keep the thing himself after getting it, it would most likely be given to the eldest young master.

The young master would not keep these things in his hands, otherwise once the person involved finds out, the matter will be difficult to handle.

"Since there is a passage, we can just walk out of it and take a look, right?" Shen Yao pondered.

It has always been a consensus that the plane will not build useless areas.

Since both passages of the bunker were displayed in front of them, they could go through them.

Gu Zhaoxi nodded: "Shall we go and take a look?"

Pei Yan glanced back and forth between the two passages in silence.

"There probably isn't enough time." It was almost noon now, and they should go back to their own courtyard to eat lunch instead of not being in this mansion at all.

If anyone was looking for them, the people at the gate could prove that they had never left the mansion.

In this way, when the news reaches the ears of the eldest young master, he will probably know what is going on.

Don't try to fight against unknown forces in vain.

"Go back first and find a solution later."

As he spoke, Pei Yan stood up and extinguished the oil lamp. Then he took the candle on the table and walked towards the passage he came from.

Gu Chaoxi followed immediately, and Shen Yao and Violet did not hesitate either.

In the plane, sometimes if you take a wrong step, and if you make more and more mistakes, there is no way to save the situation, so it is better to be cautious.

When they came back, Gu Chaoxi stuck to the door and listened for a while, making sure that there was indeed no movement outside before he pushed the door open and let them come out one by one.

The yard was as quiet as before, and the eldest young master seemed not to have returned from Ji Ze yet.

"Let's go quickly." Staying in his yard for any longer really made people feel a little scared.

So just as the few people left the yard and turned the corner, Qi Chuzhao and two other servants came back from the other corner.

Looking at the half-open door, Qi Chuzhao guessed that they must have left, so he stepped into the yard with confidence.
