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

Chapter 682 The Red Box in the Wardrobe

Gu Chaoxi didn't dare to think any further.

Since she was a child, she knew that Gu Chenyang was extremely intelligent. If he could have predicted so much, he still died in the other world in the end.

So, what exactly is the inner world? Do we really have the ability to see the truth of the inner world?

All of this is unknown, and there is no answer to this day.

The place they went to was a small village near the sea in Haicheng. It was the hometown of Gu Chaoxi and Gu Chenyang.

At that time, their parents were still alive and their lives were carefree.

The people in that small village were very kind. In Gu Chaoxi's memory, the villagers were very nice to them. Whenever there was any problem at home, everyone would help enthusiastically.

Gu Chaoxi's home was in that village. It was considered to be a slightly wealthier family with its own large yard and a row of rooms.

Not all of those rooms are used. Some of them serve as warehouses, and some are rooms.

Later, when his parents passed away, Gu Chenyang took the family savings and moved to the city with Gu Chaoxi.

It seems to be saying that he didn't want the death of his parents to affect Gu Chaoxi's mood, and that changing his living environment might be better.

As for the past events, she didn't remember them so clearly; they were very vague.

However, Gu Chaoxi still remembered very clearly where his home was in the village.

When Pei Yan drove into the village, she looked left and right.

Over the years, the village has changed a lot. It is no longer the one-story flat-tiled houses it used to be. Almost all of them have become two- or three-story small villas, and each house has its own yard in front of the door.

Keep walking inside and after turning two or three corners, you will see a bungalow.

It is separated from the surrounding houses by two lanes, stands alone and looks very old.

The entrance was overgrown with weeds that looked half a person's height because no one had lived there for many years.

It was naturally difficult for the car to make it through, so it was temporarily parked in an open space nearby.

After getting out of the car, Gu Chaoxi looked at the house in front of him. Most of the wall paint had fallen off, and there was a thick layer of dust in front of the door.

On the closed door, there were still couplets and the word "Fu" that had been pasted a long time ago, but it seemed that there were not many left now.

She glanced at the key in her hand and walked towards the door.

I walked through the weeds and reached the steps at the door.

The house had been uninhabited for a long time, and it seemed to be filled with a dead and gloomy atmosphere.

She took out her cell phone from her pocket, turned on the flashlight in advance, and then put the key in her hand into the keyhole.

Considering that this key had not been used to open the door for a long time, she rubbed the key with lead dust before coming back.

Although it still seems difficult to open, the key can still be inserted.

He shook it vigorously to both sides, then turned the key with difficulty and opened the door.

A cloud of dust rose up, Gu Chaoxi raised his hand to cover his nose, and subconsciously took a step back.

"Cough cough!" Pei Yan on the side raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and waved the mobile phone in his other hand, shining the light inside.

The room was not too dark, but it looked a little dim. When the light from the door shone in, a thick layer of dust could be seen.

"It looks like no one has been here for a while?" Pei Yan turned his head to look at Gu Chaoxi.

She frowned and stared at the dust on the ground without saying a word.

Since Gu Chenyang gave her the key, he must have his own intentions.

"It looks like that."

However, considering that Gu Chenyang died in an explosion a year ago, we cannot rule out the possibility that the dust started a year ago.

The two hesitated for a moment before slowly walking inside, shining the flashlights from their cell phones in their hands, fearing that their large movements would raise dust.

You know, when such dense dust is blown up, it will not only make your nose choke.

There weren't many things in the living room, just a brown TV cabinet and a sofa on the right.

The sofa looked old and worn. I didn’t know if it had been gnawed by rats, but you could already see the bones inside.

There is a map on the left wall, but because it is covered with dust, the words on it are difficult to see clearly, and you can only make out the general color.

There are two doors on the left, both leading to rooms.

There is a door on the right, which is also a room, and it is the master bedroom of the house.

On the wall facing the gate, there is a door on the right that leads to the back. Walking back is the bathroom, kitchen and other places. Walking further back, you will reach the yard.

The yard of the house was not too big, with a few fruit trees planted in it and a fence around the corner.

Gu Chaoxi walked from the front to the back, staring at the scene in the yard in a daze.

The fallen leaves and fruits of the fruit trees are all spread on the ground. As time passes, they slowly rot and turn into nutrients that are absorbed by the fruit trees.

The yard didn't look very good either. At first glance, you could tell that there was no sign of life here.

There are two small rooms on the right side of the yard, which were previously used to store tools and feed poultry.

She rubbed the key in her hand repeatedly, looked around, and returned to the room in front.

"Is there anything different?" After all, this was Gu Chaoxi's former home, so it would be more appropriate to ask her.

She tried to think and shook her head: "I can't remember."

She was too young then to remember many aspects of the place.

But Gu Chenyang gave her the key, so there must be something behind it.

Walking to the steps in front of the door, Gu Chaoxi sat down and stared at the half-man-high weeds in front of him in a daze.

What was it that she had overlooked?

There must be something that Gu Chenyang hopes she can notice.

What on earth was the thing that he deliberately put back to his hometown?

She thought about it over and over again, recalling her childhood life with Gu Chenyang in her mind.

At that time, her parents were sometimes not at home, and Gu Chenyang would take her out to play. She remembered that he often said that she could not enter her parents' room casually or touch their things.

If it gets damaged, something strange will take her away.

Mom and Dad's room? What's in that room? She tilted her head, her eyes a little blank.

What in her parents' room caught her attention? What was it? It seemed to be a red box that her mother brought with her when she got married.

When I was a child, only my mother could open that box, not even my father could touch it.

"I remembered!" She stood up suddenly from the ground, not caring about the dust on her body, and walked into the house towards the room on the right.

Pushing open the door, there was nothing but a bed and a white wardrobe inside, and you could vaguely see some grey patterns remaining on it.

She walked over with determined steps, her heart beating faster.

Pei Yan followed her in, and neither of them walked quickly.

She reached out to the third cabinet compartment. As the cabinet door creaked, she lowered her eyes and saw a red box lying quietly underneath.
