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

Chapter 358 The Secret Passage Under the Bed

It's far from lunch time now, so naturally I'm just going to have breakfast.

The young monk who was making breakfast probably didn't expect that several people would come so early today, and it seemed that there was not enough breakfast for them.

"Donor, this may not be enough. If you still need more, we can make more."

The little monk put a few bowls of porridge and a small bowl of steamed buns on the table, feeling a little embarrassed.

Shen Yao waved his hand: "Thank you."

Several people sat down around the table and casually started to eat the steamed buns in the bowl.

The conditions in the plane are a bit harsh, but we still have to eat.

Pei Yan took a bite and looked around: "If there really is a secret passage in Madam Zhao's room, not all of us would go there."

Qin Wei raised his eyes and nodded in understanding: "Indeed, we need to sort out who goes and who stays."

"Weiwei, you follow, Shen Yao stays."

"it is good."

After Pei Yan finished speaking, Shen Yao nodded.

Compared with Shen Yao, although Qin Wei is slightly better than Shen Yao in terms of combat ability, she is a professional in ancient monument research after all.

If the secret passage in Madam Zhao's room leads to an ancient tomb, or something similarly recorded, it would be more reassuring with Qin Wei around.

"But, are you three the only ones going?" Shen Yao raised his eyes. Pei Yan had just said that he would not go, but did not say who else would go.

Although we don't necessarily pursue an equal number of people, we are still worried that they will not be able to handle anything if they really encounter something.

Pei Yan raised his eyes when he heard this.

"If we speculate based on the previous plane, the place where the secret passage leads to will not be too simple."

"Going down here means life or death is in jeopardy. Do any of you want to come with us?"

Shen Lan and Zhou Youyou looked at each other, and Zhou Youyou pulled her down with his hand.

Although Shen Lan did want to follow along, after all, she also wanted to train herself.

But he immediately remembered that he couldn't even fight, and if he really encountered something, he would still need Pei Yan and the others to protect him.

It seems that it is just causing more trouble.

Thinking of this, Shen Lan gave up the idea, held Zhou Youyou's hand back, and forced a smile at her.

As for Zhou, Qi and Chu, they were all great.

Although Zhou Ze is not so afraid of facing the plane now, he still can't help but feel timid when he thinks about facing the unknown.

Gu Chaoxi's gaze swept back and forth between several people, finally stopping on Qi Chuzhao who was silent.

He lowered his eyes, and his hoodie covered most of his face, so his true emotions could not be seen.

The hand holding the steamed bun seemed to be clenched a little, the veins on the back of the hand bulged, and the knuckles turned white.

She pursed her lips, withdrew her gaze, and casually lowered her head to drink the porridge.

After a while, Qi Chuzhao spoke to break the silence.

"I want to go with you, can I?"

As he spoke, he raised his head slightly.

Although the brim of the hat covers part of the face, one can still see the eyes beneath the shadow, which are firm and persistent.

Pei Yan coughed lightly, picked up the porridge and drank it, nodded, and said nothing.

I agree.

However, Qin Wei still looked at him: "I have to tell you, if you are in danger, I am afraid we will not have the energy to take care of you."

Although Qi Chuzhao knew this matter in his heart, Qin Wei still wanted to emphasize it again.

She didn't want to give Qi Chuzhao any illusions. If something really happened, she hoped he would be prepared for the worst.

"Yes, I know."

Qi Chuzhao nodded, then slowly lowered his head.

The brim of his hat covered his face, and no one could see his cheeks clearly.

Therefore, no one knew that Qi Chuzhao was not nervous or afraid at all at this moment, and was even relieved.

It is enough to be thankful that I have a short time to fight alongside them.

After dinner, a few people walked towards Mrs. Zhao's room.

I entered the yard and there was no one inside.

So, without having to deal with anyone, he went straight to Mrs. Zhao's room.

When I opened the door, a faint smell of dust wafted out.

It's only been a few days since anyone lived here, but it feels like centuries have passed.

Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi walked directly towards the bed.

When I lifted the quilt, I saw a gap similar to a grid.

"When we checked these rooms before, there was clearly nothing there."

Zhou Youyou bit his lip, as if reminiscing about something, his arm still around Shen Lan, holding her tightly against his chest.

"Did you check carefully before?"

Although Gu Chaoxi did not answer, he asked calmly.

Shen Lan took a look and nodded where she couldn't see.

"After careful inspection, I am quite sure that this was not there at the time."

While speaking, Pei Yan happened to bend his joints and knock on the bed board, and the sound was a little empty.

Shen Lan could still clearly distinguish between solid sounds and hollow sounds.

What's more, in the previous plane, I learned quite a lot from Gu Chaoxi and the others.

She knows that in many places, no matter whether you feel there is anything wrong subjectively or not, it is necessary to check.

So, after Zhou Youyou inspected the room that day, Shen Lan also came to check for any deficiencies and make up for any omissions.

She was very sure that when she checked Mrs. Zhao's bed, it was normal.

Hearing Shen Lan's tone, Gu Chaoxi had a general idea and nodded.

He reached out and pressed on the bed board, using some force, and it opened.

There was indeed a brocade box inside. Gu Chaoxi took the box out, opened it, and found it was empty.

Regardless of where the original contents of the brocade box went, Gu Chaoxi casually handed the brocade box to the side and Qin Wei reached out to take it.

She turned her head to glance at Pei Yan, and their hands simultaneously reached towards the edge of the bed.

Mrs. Zhao's bed is a standard couch. When viewed from the front, there is a board underneath.

There is a small step-like space in the front for placing shoes.

They groped around the edge of the bed for a long time, starting from the middle and moving toward both sides.

Finally, I found a small protrusion at the corner.

As if it was some kind of contrived mechanism, the two of them looked up and spoke at the same time.

"There is something."

After a moment of silence, the two looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.

The moment they nodded, they both pressed their hands down at the same time.

"clang!"

It was a very clear sound and everyone heard it.

The bed seemed to be moving inward, offsetting little by little.

The deviation did not last too long, as if a lock was opened, and then, under the gazes of several people, the two of them pushed upwards with their hands, and the bed board was lifted up.

The bed board was not thin at all. On the contrary, it was quite heavy and it was difficult for two people to lift it together.

Shen Yao immediately took action and helped lift it.

When the entire bed board was completely lifted up by several people, revealing a larger black hole, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

There is a staircase underneath. Although it is difficult to tell where it leads to, the staircase appears to be in good repair.

The ancient Anning Temple does have its own secrets!
