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

Chapter 469: The 2nd Floor of the Wooden House

Walking through the curtain, what you see is a pile of thick tree trunks.

These tree trunks were cut down and piled at the entrance.

A kerosene lamp hung on the forked branches of a tree near the entrance.

The kerosene lamp looked like it had been used for a long time. The glass on the outside was smoked black and the candle inside was burning quietly.

He took a step forward and stepped on the leaves, making a rustling sound.

Gu Chaoxi lowered his head and looked down, and saw piles of leaves.

When I looked up again, I could only see leaves on the ground in front of me, and I couldn't see what the original ground looked like at all.

The group walked around the stacked tree trunks and headed to the side, where a small path was left that led them deeper inside.

After passing the tree with the kerosene lamp hanging on it, the environment in front of me became open.

But the light was limited and the range they could see was not very large. Looking into the distance, they saw two bright lights hanging in the air in front of them on the right.

Pei Yan narrowed his eyes and tried his best to identify it.

It was probably the kerosene lamps hanging on both sides of a wooden door. The light inside was not very bright, and I could barely see clearly.

"It seems a bit far to walk from here to there."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed in that direction.

Gu Chaoxi looked over there and saw a light indeed.

Qin Wei took two steps forward, raised his hand to hold a tree trunk, and looked over there: "But now we have to go over there and find some tools, otherwise we won't be able to see anything."

Indeed, the entire area they were in was dark.

"Let me explore the way ahead." Shen Yao stretched out his hand and looked around.

Seeing that no one objected, he looked around on the ground, squatted down, and took out a very long branch from somewhere.

So everyone began to follow him in that direction in an orderly manner.

This time, Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan were at the bottom.

The two were not in a hurry. They followed the person in front and paid attention to their surroundings at all times.

Gu Chaoxi narrowed her eyes slightly. The environment was too dark, so she couldn't see much, but she could hear.

At least, apart from the sound of their own footsteps on the leaves and their breathing, there were no other sounds.

Shen Yao quickly approached the wooden door with the kerosene lamp hanging on it.

Only when they got very close did Shen Yao see clearly that it was a small two-story wooden house.

The door of the wooden house was a bit old, and there was a mark of a step on it, but the mark was not very new.

He walked down the steps to the door. Qin Wei behind him raised his hand to stop the person behind him and signaled him not to move forward for the time being.

Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan also stopped.

In the darkness, it seemed that something was pressing towards this side, but Gu Chaoxi tilted his head and felt that this feeling was wrong.

She blinked and looked back in the direction of Shen Yao.

Shen Yao raised his hand and gently pushed the door, and the door slid slowly and easily to the back.

Then, the whole house appeared in front of everyone.

There were several kerosene lamps lit in the room, placed staggered on the table, windowsill, corner of the stair railing, and even one on the fireplace.

In short, these kerosene lamps make the whole house bright.

The fire was also burning in the fireplace.

Shen Yao seemed to be able to feel the warmth in the room. At this moment, he felt a gust of wind blowing on his back, making him shiver uncontrollably.

So he took a step towards the house and walked in.

Nothing happened, he just stood at the entrance of the house.

Qin Wei watched for a while, and seeing him walk forward again, she was sure that nothing had happened.

She breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the house, and the people behind her followed her one after another.

Once you enter the house, you can see the interior layout at a glance.

At the end was a fireplace with a charcoal fire burning in it. On the wall next to the fireplace were a few aprons hanging, and on the ground were a few pairs of worn-out shoes placed side by side.

In the middle of the room, there is a huge wooden table. It looks like a handmade table with some scratches on it.

On both sides of the table are handmade chairs, and the quality seems to be uneven.

There were a few green clothes hanging on the chair on the right, which looked a bit like work clothes.

On the right side of the room, there was a pile of messy tools placed against the wall, including shovels, spades, steel forks...

Then looking to the left, there is a simple open kitchen with a fire-burning stove.

On the left side of the stove, near the door, there was a pile of firewood, which was about half a person's height.

There are some cooking tools on the stove.

In addition, there is a staircase leading upwards on the left side of the room.

The end of the stairs was dark, and it was obvious that there was no light source on the second floor.

As Pei Yan reached out to close the door behind him, Gu Chaoxi twitched his nose and looked around.

This room looks quite clean.

Although there are many scratches on the table top, it is not clear what the table is used for.

She looked towards the stairs and lowered her voice: "Don't you think there is a strange smell in this?"

"Strange taste?"

Hearing this, Qin Wei shrugged his nose and sniffed hard.

There is indeed a faint smell of rust in the air. Is it really the smell of rust?

"Smell of blood?" She looked towards the second floor with some suspicion. Could there be something here, a corpse?

Shen Yao also looked towards the second floor, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Let's go upstairs and take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Zhenxian waved his hands frantically: "I won't go, you go, I won't go up."

Now that he saw their frowning expressions, he knew that things were not that simple, and he would definitely not go to the second floor.

Qi Chuzhao rolled his eyes speechlessly. He had never expected much from someone like Luo Zhenxian.

Shen Yao picked up the kerosene lamp from the table and walked towards the stairs.

Gu Chaoxi looked at the kerosene lamp on the windowsill and reached out to pick it up.

Shen Yao had already stepped onto the stairs. Because he was holding a kerosene lamp in his hand, Qin Wei did not take a new one, but just walked up with him.

Gu Chaoxi glanced at Pei Yan, who had taken another kerosene lamp from the windowsill on the other side and was holding it in his hand.

The two looked at each other and walked towards the stairs together.

Qi Chuzhao took the kerosene lamp from the fireplace, followed behind, and went up the stairs.

Now only Su Zhaoran, Shen Lan and Luo Zhenxian are left on the first floor.

Luo Zhenxian sat on the chair, and Shen Lan also pulled out the chair opposite his desk and sat down, but gave Luo Zhenxian a cold look.

It was the first time she had seen such a timid man.

Su Zhaoran sat down next to her, glanced out the window timidly, and then quickly looked away.
