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

Chapter 651: Just a Hypocritical Liar

The theme of the exhibition hall on the third floor seems to be darkness and light. The overall light is relatively dim, with only the lights in front of each work on.

In such a dark exhibition hall, you can't even see the faces of the people around you, you can only see their rough outlines.

The wall seems to be covered with embossed wallpaper. You can feel the obvious unevenness when you touch it with your hand, but because the color is consistent, it is not that clear to the naked eye.

Gu Chaoxi walked along the edge of the exhibition hall, so that with the help of the lights above the works, he could at least see them more clearly.

After stamping according to the clues on the activity page, they walked out of this exhibition hall and followed the flow of people to the next exhibition hall.

To be honest, the game in this activity is not very difficult. You just need to read the clues given on the activity page carefully, find the corresponding works and stamp them to complete it.

Probably because it was expected that people of all ages would come to participate in the activity, so it was not difficult to set up the game.

The number of people in the exhibition hall on the third floor is basically the same, with just enough people to fill the hall and still have room for people to leave.

Coming out of the exhibition hall on the third floor, Gu Chaoxi looked up and walked towards the stairs leading to the fourth floor.

Shen Yao and the other two quickly followed. There were much fewer people on the fourth floor than before.

However, when entering the first exhibition hall, Gu Chaoxi's gaze stopped on a person.

She had short hair, braided in front of her head, the hair on her forehead looked a little messy, she was wearing a long floral dress, and was staring at the painting in front of her silently.

Shen Liao? The image described by Du Yuzhao seemed to match.

However, Gu Chaoxi did not immediately assume that this person was Shen Liao. He just took a closer look at him out of the corner of his eye as he walked past.

Then, he missed the woman and stood in front of the painting next to him.

The painting the woman was looking at was a chaotic black mass with a flame rising from a log in the middle.

There are several colors in the flame, which looks a bit mysterious.

The thin smoke rising from the flames rushed upwards along with the flames, wisping towards the top until it dissipated.

In the darkness, nothing could be seen except this cluster of flames.

The middle of the burning wood was almost burning into bright charcoal, and there seemed to be something mixed in it, but because of the bright flames, nothing could be seen clearly.

"Is there anything special about this painting?" In the darkness, it seemed as if nothing was seen, and yet there seemed to be a huge hand.

"Are you asking me?" The woman next to me turned her head.

Gu Zhaoxi nodded: "Well, I see you have been looking at this painting for a long time. Maybe you have a unique understanding of this painting?"

"Are you from outside this place?" the woman tilted her head and asked suddenly.

She nodded and did not deny it: "Yes, I came here specially for the activities of the art museum."

"Is that so? No wonder." The woman looked understood, narrowed her eyes, and looked Gu Chaoxi up and down.

She can now basically confirm that the person in front of her is Shen Liao.

The emotions revealed in those squinted eyes were so similar to what Du Yuzhao described.

It's like this person really wants to see through others.

But it doesn’t matter. What Gu Chaoxi just said was the truth. She was originally an outsider in this dimension.

"There's nothing special about it, except that I feel like the world is just like this cluster of fire."

As Shen Liao spoke, his gaze returned to the painting.

"Why?" She didn't say anything, so Gu Chaoxi followed up with a question.

The man's eyes seemed to be fixed on the painting, and he said in a low voice: "Because the world is so dark. People can only see where the light shines, but ignore what is in the darkness."

"It's just like this painting. In fact, in the darkness, there are all these greedy eyes, but if you don't look carefully, you can't see them."

"You don't know that the eyes in the darkness are watching you, waiting for your end. How terrifying it is."

Gu Chaoxi looked at the painting in front of him again as she spoke. In the black paint around it, there seemed to be something with black paint applied on top of each other, and it was not very smooth.

Looking closely, it really looked like the half-closed eyes were looking at something.

But if you are a little further away, because the color is consistent, you can't see the uneven painting method, and you will just feel that everything around you is black.

She pursed her lips, suddenly not knowing what to say.

Because she herself didn't notice this carefully just now, she just glanced at it and asked Shen Liao.

Even when asking Shen Liao, it was because of the name of this painting, called "Liao Yuan".

Isn't it strange? There is only a fire in the painting, without even any description of the surrounding environment.

A single spark can start a prairie fire, but how does this painting start a prairie fire?

After Shen Liao finished speaking, he stopped talking. His expression looked a little intriguing, as if someone had finally asked him about his understanding of the painting.

It was an expression of pride, or perhaps someone could understand her.

When Shen Yao came from behind, he raised his hand and gently poked Gu Chaoxi's arm, reminding her that the clues in this exhibition hall had been found.

She nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but then stopped.

This time, the look he gave Shen Liao was not as casual as before, but contained a hint of inquiry.

"Is there any grudge between you and Du Yuzhao?"

The question was very direct, so Shen Liao turned around almost instantly, with a little surprise in his eyes, and then disgust.

"He's just a hypocritical liar. What grudge could there be between him and me?" After saying that, Shen Liao turned around and walked to the other side.

Hypocritical liar?

Gu Chaoxi raised his eyebrows. If he was a hypocritical liar, why did he look a little angry after saying this?

What's more, in the eyes of others, Shen Liao is the madman who doesn't want to be talked to.

really interesting.

"She doesn't want to talk about it." She smiled, turned around and followed Shen Yao outside.

Shen Liao shouldn't leave the exhibition hall so soon. After all, the exhibition hall was just opened today. She probably came here to appreciate one of the paintings here, right?

To be honest, some of the paintings in the exhibition halls on the third floor do not have a very abstract feeling in terms of color composition and so on.

But many of the paintings and names seem a bit strange, as if they were randomly given names just to hang the paintings.

Entering the next exhibition hall, Duzhou and Luo Yu were already quite familiar with the process that Shen Yao had just led them to.

This time, Shen Yao didn't even need to mention it, the two of them were able to work together to say the answers to the clues on the activity page, and then find the corresponding paintings and chapters according to the answers.

"Well, it feels good to have the ability to work." Shen Yao finally freed his hands.
