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

Chapter 597 Strange Ghost

The meal was eaten in silence, but Gu Chaoxi didn't care about that. The most important thing was to have enough food to eat.

Anyway, there is not much key information that can be learned from their words. As for the secrets of the clock tower, they may have to explore and understand them by themselves.

After dinner, the people in Ji Ze's yard helped him back, and the others dispersed on their own.

Several concubines walked out while talking, and the eldest lady was also helped back.

However, a few of Ji Ze's children were sitting in the hall, not moving.

Gu Chaoxi glanced at Pei Yan, and Pei Yan's gaze moved around between the other three people.

The eldest young master stood up from his chair, walked around to the side of the fifth young lady, and looked down at her.

"Fifth sister is not feeling well. You should go back and rest early. I will take you there."

The fifth young lady did not refuse and stood up from the chair obediently. Then one of her arms was supported by the eldest young master.

It’s not entirely true to say that he was being supported.

Gu Chaoxi glanced over and saw that the young master's hand was holding her arm tightly.

The Fifth Miss has been in poor health for many years and is thin and small, so the force was almost like pinching her arm.

But looking at her expression, there was no change, as if she didn't feel anything.

After both of them had left, the fourth young master snorted coldly.

Gu Zhaoxi glanced away, and the fourth young master muttered to himself: "Sima Zhao's intention, huh."

Before she had the time to ask the Fourth Young Master what he meant, he walked out of the hall quickly with his fists clenched.

Now only she and Pei Yan are left.

The two looked at each other, then walked out slowly.

"What's inside the bell tower?" As she spoke, she looked in the direction of the bell tower and could see part of the spire.

Pei Yan was also thinking about this question.

Also, why did the eldest young master just talk to the fifth young lady alone and even send her back?

"Let's go and take a look." Gu Chaoxi blinked, pulled Pei Yan's arm and followed.

It was easy to guess the route the young master would take when sending the people back, so they followed the two of them in a short while.

The mansion had many twists and turns, and every time they were just a corner away from the eldest young master's position.

This way he wouldn't notice them and he could still hear them talking.

Gu Chaoxi listened carefully, but the two men didn't say anything along the way.

It was not until the Fifth Miss reached the gate of her own courtyard that the Young Master let go of her hand.

"Since Fifth Sister has returned to the courtyard, you should rest early. There are some things that will distract Fifth Sister."

"Brother, do you think I am being overly suspicious?"

The fifth young lady smiled and looked at the eldest young master.

The man's expression darkened a little. He stared at the Fifth Miss for a while, then raised his hand and slightly gathered the cloak on her shoulders.

"Whether you are too suspicious or not, Fifth Sister should know it in her heart."

After saying that, he patted her on the head gently with a smile on his face, looking like a good brother.

"Fifth sister knows that I always say what I think. If Fifth Sister is unhappy, please bear with me."

After saying that, he patted the corner of his clothes, turned around and strode away.

Fortunately, the direction of departure was not towards Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing to bump into the eldest young master.

The fifth young lady stood at the door and watched until the eldest young master had turned the corner, then she turned and walked towards her own yard.

It seems that there is some secret between the two of them that only the other party knows.

"Go back, it's useless."

From what I heard, it's not something that can be told to anyone casually.

Therefore, there will be no breakthrough from these two people.

Gu Chaoxi waved his hand, turned around and took Pei Yan away.

"Let's go check it out at night. After all, it's haunted at night. There might be a lot of interesting things."

"Yeah, okay." Pei Yan responded.

The two of them returned to their own yards.

After washing up, Gu Chaoxi lay down on the bed. She felt a little sleepy, so she decided to go to bed early before any strange noises were heard.

She didn't sleep for very long, only about two and a half hours, before she was awakened by a noise.

I tilted my head to listen, and it seemed to be coming from the third concubine's side.

It is quite simple to explain why we judged that the message came from the third concubine.

Gu Chaoxi was not very far from the third concubine's yard, and it was quiet at night, so he could hear the sounds coming from there.

Moreover, I just heard the third concubine's voice during dinner, so it is not difficult to judge now.

Without hesitation, Gu Chaoxi rolled over from the bed, bent down to put on his shoes, and then stood up from the ground on his knees.

After a brief dizziness, she ran outside.

After passing by your own yard, you will see the third concubine's yard.

The yard was pitch black and I couldn't see anything clearly.

The lights in the house were on, and through the light that came through, you could roughly see the outlines of some buildings.

But in Gu Chaoxi's eyes, most of them were just black shadows.

There was the shouting of the third concubine in the room, as if she was driving away something, but nothing else could be heard.

But I couldn't see anything from the light from the window.

She was thinking when she heard footsteps approaching from behind. When she turned around, she saw Pei Yan and Shen Yao.

Pei Yan raised his hand and placed it in front of his index finger, signaling her to be quiet, and quickly moved closer.

The three people looked into the yard and saw nothing unusual.

Just when I was wondering, I saw a dark shadow rushing through the house quickly, and then the door was opened, and the dark shadow rushed out straight away.

"Ah!" After the third concubine's scream, there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

The black shadow quickly rushed out of the yard and went in another direction right in front of Gu Chaoxi.

She couldn't tell what the rustling sound was.

Without caring about all that, she raised her hand, patted Pei Yan's arm, and immediately followed.

Pei Yan didn't hesitate and followed.

Instead, Shen Yao hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran into the yard.

The third concubine was wearing a cotton coat and lying on the ground with a pale face. She had fainted.

Shen Yao patted the person twice, but there was no response.

After thinking about it, he moved the third concubine to the bed, then chased out again, chasing in the direction where Gu Chaoxi and the others had just gone.

The shadow ran very fast. Gu Chaoxi gritted his teeth and followed closely. Before they knew it, they arrived at the old lady's mourning hall.

I don't know what blows up the white flags in the room, but they are swaying.

On the altar where the seats were arranged in rows, the candles on both sides were swaying left and right, which looked a bit strange.
