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

Chapter 458 The Bride's Head Moves

"What are you looking at? I'll take a look too."

Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan walked over and heard them talking about this.

Shen Yao looked up and saw that two people had walked over to the side. Gu Chaoxi still had one leg on the steps, his hands on his knees, looking at them.

"In the room, well, you can see for yourself if you take a look."

Shen Yao knew their ability to withstand stress, which was a little stronger than others, so he didn't know how to summarize it for them.

Gu Chaoxi raised his eyebrows, it looked like there was something strange inside.

Her hearing was so good that she could actually hear their voices when she walked out of the house on the other side of the ancestral hall and into the yard.

Naturally, he didn't miss that sentence, and Luo Zhenxian fainted.

This aroused her curiosity, and she wanted to go in and see what was inside.

Qin Wei handed the box in her hand to Shen Lan, and followed Gu Chaoxi into the house.

When Pei Yan raised his foot and walked inside, Shen Yao sat on the ground without moving, just raised his hand and pointed towards the house.

"The foot of the bed!"

His voice was quite loud, so Gu Chaoxi and Qin Wei, who walked into the room, naturally heard it.

So, when Gu Chaoxi, who was walking in front, approached the bed, he reached out and lifted the curtain.

"Hiss!" Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still a little scared.

After all, this posture, this state, and this, um...

In short, Gu Chaoxi turned around and prepared to walk out the next second.

When she missed Pei Yan, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

After turning around, she was pulled by Pei Yan to lean against him: "How can we find clues if we don't look?"

Gu Chaoxi had a blank expression on his face: "Shen Yao and the others have looked for it, but I guess they can't find it."

"Look again."

As he spoke, he also glanced in the direction of the woman, and it felt like something that would give him a nightmare.

Qin Wei sighed, slowly raised his hands to cover his eyes, and then put his hands down.

It’s a good thing that Shen Lan and Su Zhaoran didn’t come in just now, otherwise, would they have been frightened to death?

Qin Wei began to carefully look at the woman who was hung in front of him. There were no visible wounds on her body, at least on the part that was exposed.

Where did the blood on his body come from?

Qin Wei was a little confused. She stretched out her hand and wanted to look at the woman's body, but before her hand touched it, the three people saw that the woman's head moved slightly and turned towards Qin Wei.

Her hands froze for a moment, and she raised her eyes and slowly looked into the woman's eyes.

There was no luster in those eyes, not even a hint of light.

Gu Chaoxi slowly took a step forward, and seeing that the woman had no other reaction, he immediately reached out and pulled Qin Wei to his side.

The woman's head did not move or return to its original position.

Although the amplitude of this turn of the head is not very large, it is scary enough.

Pei Yan looked upwards along the line that was pulling his head, only to find that all the ropes disappeared at a certain height.

"There is no end. It is suspended in the air, along with the rope."

Logically speaking, something soft like a rope hanging in the air should hang down naturally.

But the ropes that were hanging the women were all very straight and stretched, as if they were really tied somewhere.

"Will she move suddenly?" Qin Wei was a little worried and took a step back.

Gu Chaoxi was not quite sure, but it was obvious that this woman did not want anyone to touch her.

"Let's find other clues and figure out why this woman died."

"Ah."

Pei Yan took two steps back and walked out of the house with them.

The people outside the house were now sitting on the ground. Shen Yao saw the three of them coming out and looked up.

The three people looked a little heavy. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat and he asked quickly, "What happened just now?"

Pei Yan looked at Shen Yao who was sitting on the ground. It was obvious that he had no idea that the woman would do this.

"Her head moved."

As soon as Pei Yan finished speaking, Shen Yao stood up from the ground in shock.

When he and Qi Chuzhao were checking inside, the woman didn't make any movement.

"how come."

He murmured, somewhat incredulously.

Qin Wei glanced at him and waved her hand: "Maybe you didn't trigger the key, because I wanted to touch her just now."

Shen Yao was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Indeed, because it was a female body, he and Qi Chuzhao had just been observing the bride and had not thought of touching her.

Fortunately, Gu Chaoxi and Qin Wei went in again to check, otherwise this would have gone unnoticed.

"By the way, Ah Yan and I found a secret passage in the ancestral hall over there."

Qin Wei raised her hand and pointed at the box on Shen Lan's legs: "Why don't we take a look at what's in this box first."

Gu Chaoxi lowered his eyes and looked at the black box. It didn't look like anything special on the outside.

However, there are occasionally square depressions around it, with objects of the same size inserted inside. It looks like a Luban lock.

"Can you solve it?"

She squatted down, turned the box around, and after looking at it, put it back on Shen Lan's lap.

Qin Wei squatted down and looked at Gu Chaoxi. She seemed to be in deep thought and shook her head after a while.

"I'm not very good at it. Shouldn't you be better at it?"

"Oh." Qin Wei responded and began to carefully observe the wooden box in front of him.

but......

"What if the mechanism inside is the kind that shoots randomly once it's opened? What should I do?"

Shen Yao chuckled: "Didn't you find it from the beam? Would a normal mechanical weapon be placed so high?"

"That's right." Qin Wei nodded seriously and raised his hand to poke one of the dents.

After she poked the stick that was inserted inside, a little head popped out from the other end.

Qin Wei reached out and pulled out the wooden stick, then reached out to another one on the side.

After both of them were pulled out, the box that was originally tightly fastened suddenly loosened.

The lid on top slowly slid to one side along with several wooden sticks inserted in it, and Qin Wei directly reached out and opened the lid.

Inside the box was a square handkerchief, which seemed to be wrapped with something.

Qin Wei slowly opened the handkerchief and saw a bracelet and a key inside.

"No, this box only holds this little bit of stuff."

She sighed, reached out and picked up the bracelet and key along with the handkerchief, and then she saw that there was a folded envelope underneath the handkerchief.

"what is this?"

Gu Chaoxi was sharp-eyed and reached out to take out the folded envelope from the box.

She opened the envelope and inside was a half-page letter.

But she only glanced at it, and then handed the letter to Qin Wei: "You can take a look."
