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

Chapter 492: The Skull in the Elephant's Head

Qin Wei tried to pull out the sword that was stuck in the ground with his hands, but there was no response.

She had just squatted down, and now she patted her knees, and with Shen Yao holding her arm, she stood up from the ground.

When she turned around, she looked at Gu Chaoxi and shook her head at her.

Gu Chaoxi lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Shen Ran and Song Sihan didn't find anything over there, so they just started to stick to the wall to try to find any mechanism.

The two of them walked along the left side of the wall, touching here and patting there.

Suddenly, Shen Ran's hand seemed to touch something.

She seemed a little excited, with a smile on her face, and she reached out her hand and touched hard behind the black cloth.

There is a depression, and underneath is a place that can be pressed, like a square pressing mechanism.

She tilted her head, and with the encouragement from Song Sihan's eyes, she pressed down hard.

"Boom." The place where everyone was standing seemed to tremble.

Then, the light above my head flickered twice, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

Pitch-black darkness is the easiest way to magnify people's fear.

Gu Chaoxi closed his eyes, just raised his head and carefully felt the surrounding environment.

"Shen Ran, are you there?"

She shouted into the air, and then she heard a voice coming from the position near the gear door: "I'm here, I'm fine!"

Well, fortunately, the person is still here and has not disappeared now.

"Come closer, be careful." Gu Chaoxi whispered, reaching out to grab Pei Yan's hand.

They were originally standing not far away from each other, and when they heard Gu Chaoxi talking, they moved towards the direction of the voice.

Several people stand together, back to back, so that no matter which direction there is a problem, there will be someone to respond.

But after a moment, with a "click" sound, a little light came out from above the head again.

This time the light was a tiny bit brighter than before, but not much.

Several people looked around and found that the original black cloth had disappeared, and now the surroundings had revealed their original appearance.

The place that Qin Wei had checked before was indeed a demon with horns. It was sitting on a strangely shaped stone with the sword in its hand deeply inserted into the ground.

The demon's head was slightly lowered, and its two huge eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

The statue's eyes are just round balls, without clear whites or pupils.

But just like this, it makes people feel that the devil's eyes seem to be fixed on a certain place.

Next to it are various stone statues, all of which are in the form of demons.

The place that Shen Ran pressed before was not a mechanism on the wall, but a stone statue holding a huge disc.

The mechanism is in the middle of the disc.

Looking behind the disc, the demon behind him had one horn broken off, and the remaining horn was pressed tightly against the disc in front of him.

On that face with a sharp chin, the mouth was wide open, revealing sharp teeth.

The inside of his mouth was sunken and dark, and it seemed as if something would pop out at any time.

Gu Chaoxi looked back and saw that these stone statues of demons were just the front layer.

They exist completely and independently, but on the wall behind them, there are protruding reliefs.

These reliefs, without exception, are various statues of gods.

The statue of a goddess holding a scepter, the sun god holding a torch, in short, almost all the gods on the walls are positive images.

"What is this place used for?"

Su Zhaoran pointed towards the gear door.

Everyone looked over in the direction of her voice and saw that the top of the door was almost half covered by darkness.

It was a broken elephant's head, with its trunk curled upwards and its mouth slightly open.

Two long, curved tusks were exposed, extending upwards.

The elephant's eyes seem to be closed, which looks painful and not a natural state.

What is strange is what the elephant is biting in its mouth. It is a very small, intricately carved skull.

"No matter which mythology you go in, elephants are not evil, right?"

When Gu Chaoxi spoke, his eyes were slightly turned towards Qin Wei.

Qin Wei also raised her head and looked at the elephant head. Obviously, what Gu Chaoxi said was right.

"Yes, indeed."

"Elephants occasionally appear in many Western myths, but they usually serve as guardian gods."

"The general setting is that they are gentle and kind, and die to protect their master."

"It's quite rare to see someone appearing with a skull in his mouth."

At least, among the legends Qin Wei had learned during his years of schooling, there was no story that contained such an image.

And the elephant head is not just hanging there, a circle of red satin is loosely wrapped around its tusks.

The silk was wrapped around only twice and then drooped down.

But it is not very long, and the hanging part is only the distance of a palm.

Coupled with the dim light above, part of the shadow of the satin fell on the skull, making the skull look even darker.

Gu Chaoxi was silent for a while. What kind of story was this theme telling?

Shen Ran and Song Sihan looked at each other and took a step back.

This theme seems a bit strange, especially now that there are other players with them.

It would be best if you could reap the benefits while being a fisherman.

So, Shen Ran looked towards Gu Zhaoxi: "We don't seem to have found any clues, what about you?"

"Well, I'm not sure yet."

Gu Chaoxi blurted it out.

Then, she walked towards the place where Shen Ran had pressed the mechanism before, and couldn't help but look up.

The black cloth originally covered the entire wall, but after Shen Ran pressed the mechanism, the black cloth disappeared.

In other words, at least there is a large space here where the black cloth can be quickly stored somewhere.

She looked around and didn't see any obvious gaps.

Pei Yan also began to look around. On the surface, these stone statues did not seem to have anything special.

Apart from its terrifying appearance, there seems to be no other triggering mechanism.

Several people walked around the place twice, but didn't see anything else, so they turned their attention back to the gear door.

Gu Chaoxi moved closer and discovered that there was something on top of these gears.

She raised her hand and gently touched the gear. The numbers on it were engraved inwards.

"Ayan, come and take a look."

She shouted, and when she turned her head, Pei Yan and Qin Wei walked towards her together.

The light overhead wasn't very bright, so no one noticed the numbers on the gears at first.

These numbers are not very consistent, and there are even many surprises in size.

Qin Wei took a look and then looked at the elephant head above his head, feeling a little confused.
