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

Chapter 608 Lying on Jize's Wall

Pei Yan looked at Gu Chaoxi in silence, somewhat speechless.

After a while, he started talking again: "There are some discrepancies between her records and her own account."

Yes, Gu Chaoxi also noticed that, according to the Fourth Concubine's story, falling in love with Ji Ze was natural and came from the heart, and the same was true if she didn't love him.

But her records showed that she had another lover, and she herself was not very willing to marry Ji Ze.

But in the end she chose to compromise and to forget.

Just like when she jumped from the bell tower without hesitation, with a sense of determination.

It seemed that every choice she made was a relief for her in the situation at that time.

“It seems like we’ve reached a dead end.”

There are not many clues. The fourth concubine died and left behind an incomprehensible notebook. The records and her own descriptions are half true and half false. How can we tell the difference?

Elsewhere, everything seemed too normal, with almost nothing special happening.

Seeing Gu Chaoxi's worried look, Pei Yan patted her back gently.

"It's okay. Maybe there will be new clues at night."

After all, the dark shadow only appears at night, and they still have the chance to discover new things at night.

The time in this dimension doesn’t seem very long, but including today, excluding the day of the final burial, it is three days, which is probably enough.

Gu Chaoxi sighed and looked up at the sky, feeling somewhat discouraged: "God, can you give me some clues?"

But it would be useless to call upon God here, after all, we are in the same plane.

To this day, they have never touched upon the so-called other world.

This made Gu Chaoxi feel a little uneasy, and he even thought of Xiao Hechuan, with whom he had lost contact. Was he already in the so-called new world in the inner world?

Or maybe, he actually disappeared?

And ever since she met Bai Zhou in that dimension and knew that her brother was indeed dead, her desire to receive an invitation from the other world has become stronger and stronger.

If I can never reach the center of the inner world, how can I truly resist the inner world and destroy it?

The two walked back together, each thinking about something in their minds, and did not notice that someone was watching them at the end of the aisle behind them.

As night fell, the eerie atmosphere seemed to envelope the entire general's mansion again.

Everyone in Ji Ze's yard had gone back to their rooms to rest. The yard was quiet, with only him lying alone on the bed.

The moon seems very bright tonight, making the yard especially bright.

In the silence, footsteps slowly sounded in the yard.

Perhaps it was because it was too quiet, so even Ji Ze who was sleeping in bed could hear this unusual sound.

"Tap, tap."

The sound gradually came closer and seemed to stop at the door of his room.

From the position on the bed, I could only tilt my head to barely see a little bit of the situation at the door.

Although the width of the crack was only a crack, Ji Ze saw his door being pushed open from outside under the bright moonlight.

It wasn't necessarily someone who pushed the door open, because he didn't see anything related to people at all, whether it was a hand pushing the door or a shadow.

Under the bright moonlight, there was nothing in the gap of the open door, only a ray of moonlight fell on the ground.

At this time, Ji Ze was no longer sleepy and struggled to sit up from the bed.

He remembered what the third concubine had said a few days ago, and couldn't help but feel confused. Could it be that someone in the mansion was really playing tricks?

It was cold at night, so he took the coat beside the bed and put it on. He held his breath, got out of bed, and slowly walked towards the door.

After all, he is a general who has experienced hundreds of battles and has been on the battlefield. Even though he is sick now, his aura is still strong.

I walked to the door and pulled it open, and there was nothing outside.

The yard was empty and the gate was closed tightly. It didn't look like anyone had been in there.

He frowned and took two steps towards the yard.

A bleak wind blew over, and it seemed as if something was blowing over his head.

"what?"

Ji Ze looked up, but there was nothing there under the bright moonlight.

Perhaps he was too suspicious, and after a while, Ji Ze turned and walked into the room.

Gu Chaoxi looked at the closed door, breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned down against the wall.

Pei Yan was beside her and his voice was not very loud.

"He really didn't see it." The black shadow just now was clearly standing at the door of Ji Ze's room, but for some reason, it suddenly turned around and left.

When he walked out of the courtyard gate, there was no sound at all. He went out quietly and the door closed.

Shen Yao looked at the two people lying on the wall, feeling half helpless and half smiling.

"Hey, are you two here just to watch this?"

Back to two hours ago, although Shen Yao was indeed planning to go out at night to look for clues, or to see if he could encounter the black shadow.

But these two were the first to come here.

"Do you want to go and lie on Jize's wall?"

"Ah?" He was stunned at the time, wondering what crazy ideas these two people had come up with.

In the end, he had no tricks. He just lay on the wall of Jize's yard, enjoying the cool night breeze and waiting for the arrival of the shadow.

Unexpectedly, the black shadow really came, but it was slightly different from what Shen Yao had imagined.

This black shadow was clearly seen by the other concubines, so why did they miss Ji Ze and even avoid him?

Is it afraid that Ji Ze will do something to it?

Or maybe this person who is pretending to be mysterious is afraid that Ji Ze will find out who he is?

So several times, I avoided Ji Ze.

Although this idea is true to some extent, it still lacks basis. For example, since he was avoiding Ji Ze, why did he take the initiative to come to Ji Ze's yard? This doesn't make sense.

What is its main purpose?

Gu Chaoxi jumped down from the wall, supported himself on the ground with his hands, then slowly stood up and patted his palms that were stained with pebbles.

"I see, the shadow has left, let's follow it."

The black shadow seemed to be making a choice. Every time it came to a fork in the road, it would look in each direction, stay there for about two or three seconds, and then walk in one direction.

The three of them followed intermittently, and after a while, the black shadow stopped at the gate of the eldest young master's yard.

If he stopped at the eldest young master's door to ask him for something, it would not be surprising.

However, the gate was not pushed open by the shadow, but was pulled open by someone from the inside.

Gu Zhaoxi's brows froze instantly, and he raised his hand to grab Pei Yan's wrist: "Did you see it?"

"Yeah, I saw it."

It was hard not to see clearly in such bright moonlight.

A bony hand with gray cuffs stretched out from inside and waved at the shadow, and then the shadow walked inside.
