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

Chapter 372 You Go Back First

Gu Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, but immediately raised his hand and put one of Pei Yan's arms behind his neck.

She held his left hand with her left hand, put her right hand around his waist, and immediately ran down.

The two of them almost fell to the ground. The pain all over his body made him groan. He wanted to open his eyes but couldn't.

It was as if people had fallen into a world of nothingness. Everything around them was white, and there seemed to be tiny snowflakes falling in the air.

There seemed to be some sound coming, but the sound was too far away and Pei Yan couldn't hear it clearly.

He walked back and forth in this boundless place, but could not find the exit or the end.

Gu Chaoxi got up from the ground, not even bothering to brush off the dust on his body, and immediately helped Pei Yan up.

She sat on the ground, holding Pei Yan in her arms, looking at his pale face, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Ayan, please, wake up."

The location was originally on a high platform, but now due to the collapse below, it has completely sunken and the original cave entrance is completely invisible.

The huge rocks have blocked the previous appearance without leaving any trace. Looking at it now, it feels like the rocks above will fall down at any time.

Qi Chuzhao raised his hands to cover his chest. Fortunately, he came down quickly, otherwise he would be buried and would never be able to get out in this life.

Qin Wei raised her hand to lift the hair that was covering her face and pursed her lips.

Gu Chaoxi stroked Pei Yan's cheek. He seemed to be suffering from hypothermia and his face felt a little cold.

But now I haven’t figured out how to cross the ravine, unless the ravine disappears by itself.

"Still not awake?"

Qin Wei moved closer to where the two of them were, glanced at Pei Yan whose face continued to be pale, and his eyes fell on Gu Chaoxi's anxious face.

She had never shown such panic in the previous times, but Pei Yan's appearance now really scared her.

Qin Wei opened her mouth, but still couldn't say some words.

She couldn't let Gu Chaoxi give up Pei Yan, right?

For a moment, it seemed that I was in a dilemma.

"You guys go back first."

Gu Chaoxi said this so suddenly that Qin Wei didn't react for a while and just stared at her blankly.

Qi Chuzhao looked at her, also a little surprised.

Her face did not look well, and there were injuries on her body. There was a lot of blood on her upper clothes, and it was hard to tell where she was injured.

But when she spoke, there was no expression on her face. She just looked at the person in her arms, and her voice was very calm.

Qin Wei could tell that Gu Chaoxi was not joking.

But......

"Do you know what you are talking about? What if we leave and there is a collapse before we come back?"

"You two will die together?"

She suddenly raised her head and looked over, the emotions in her eyes being suppressed to the extreme.

"What else? Let's all die together? Or should I leave Pei Yan here and let him die alone?"

Qin Wei took a step back and was almost unable to stand.

But Gu Chaoxi continued, "What if it was Shen Yao, what would you do?"

The slightly opened mouth finally closed, and Qin Wei could not say anything else.

She knew that since Gu Chaoxi had made up his mind, no one could change it, unless Pei Yan could get better on his own.

But looking at Pei Yan's appearance, there won't be any changes for a while.

She gritted her teeth, and although she was extremely reluctant, she still stood up straight and looked towards the other side of the passage with her eyes slightly gloomy.

"Qi Chuzhao, let's go."

Qi Chuzhao was stunned and wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.

In the end, he could only watch Qin Wei cross the ravine, and look back exhausted, leaning against the stone wall.

There was reluctance in his eyes.

Qi Chuzhao also stepped over, and when he turned around, he saw Gu Chaoxi holding Pei Yan with his head buried very low.

She didn't look up at them, she just listened.

She heard Qin Wei's low sigh and the footsteps of Qin Wei and Qi Chuzhao walking away.

In fact, if she listened more carefully, she could hear the sound of collapse still continuing under the collapsed cave entrance.

She thought, here, maybe it was just a matter of time.

She did not tell Qin Wei about the booklet she had snatched from Guard Qin, nor did she give it to her just now.

Now that Qin Wei and Qi Chuzhao had left, she took the booklet out from her arms.

The booklet looked a little wrinkled, and no one knew how long it had been in Guard Qin's possession.

She glanced at Pei Yan in her arms, slowly laid him down on the ground, and then opened the booklet.

Most of the records above are names, some of which are circled or drawn.

Considering what the princess said about the Minister at that time, it seems that these people were captured and brought to the underground palace.

Those circled should be dead, and the rest are still alive.

After the princess died, all the people in the underground palace were dealt with together, so some names were not crossed out in time.

However, the last few pages of this booklet are more like a small diary.

Occasionally, I wrote a sentence or two expressing similar feelings on it. Then I turned to the back and saw two names on the last page.

Qin Chaoan, his other name is Qin Chaoyan.

Chaoyan. This instantly reminded Gu Chaoxi of the anonymous grave from which they found Miss Qin's jade pendant. The handkerchief that wrapped the jade pendant had the word "Yan" on it.

So, everything is connected again.

But why has this booklet been preserved?

In other words, after the underground palace collapsed, Qin's guard at the time placed the booklet in a place where it would not be affected.

Later, the booklet was preserved, and she can still hold it in her hand now.

If that’s the case, there must be another exit from the underground palace, right?

Although she thought so, the entrance of the cave had collapsed and the only area she could observe was the area surrounded by the ravine.

Or maybe she crossed the ravine herself and looked around.

Thinking of this, she stood up from the ground with her elbows.

Looking back at Pei Yan who was still lying on the ground, she gathered her strength, took a few steps and jumped over the ravine.

Although due to physical reasons, he fell to the ground almost after jumping over, fortunately he jumped over.

When they came here before, their attention was mostly attracted by the cave entrance, but Gu Chaoxi also observed the surrounding walls.

When she and Pei Yan lit the candlesticks here, they felt something strange.

These candlesticks are not completely equidistant.

If you look closely now, it is still the same.

It's a bit strange that a room that basically looks symmetrical doesn't have the candlesticks placed in symmetrical positions.

People at that time should have paid great attention to these aspects.

Unless, the position of these candlesticks represents something.
