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

Chapter 423: Little cutie, have you ever cried?

The disappearance of daylight was expected, as observers would be recalled immediately after being discovered by players.

Being able to have a brief conversation with Bai Zhou is probably the result of the other party's efforts.

Gu Chaoxi lowered the curtain, remained silent for a long time, and finally turned around and walked towards the dormitory.

The tear marks on her face had long dried. She raised her hand and wiped her face twice, walked into the yard, and strode quickly towards her room.

The first thing I did after opening the door and going in was to wash my face.

After calming down, Gu Chaoxi let out a long sigh and buried himself in the quilt.

Although I had my suspicions about this matter, the moment I heard others admit it, I still felt a throbbing pain in my heart.

She suddenly remembered a long time ago when she was still in school and Gu Chenyang came to her school to see her.

He is usually busy with various things and can hardly spare time to accompany her.

But after class that day, she saw Gu Chenyang standing in the corridor holding a small cake.

He lowered his head and looked at his phone, not knowing what he was doing, with his brows slightly furrowed.

It wasn't until she ran in front of him that he put away his phone and gave her a gentle smile.

Then tell her, happy birthday!

She herself forgot that it was her birthday, but Gu Chenyang remembered it and went to see her specially.

Later, they sat together under the shade of a tree, eating cake and listening to Gu Chenyang muttering to her.

At that time, Gu Chenyang probably didn’t know what the other world was.

At that time, he was just thinking that he must earn more money so that his sister could do what she likes in the future without worrying about having no money to spend.

Time flies, things change and people change.

Gu Chaoxi closed his eyes, turned over in bed, and stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

Just as she was about to fall asleep again, there was a knock on the door.

"Chaoxi, are you awake?"

It was Pei Yan's voice.

She blinked, her mind gradually becoming clearer, and she responded while sitting up in bed.

"Wake up, wait a minute."

After tidying up his clothes that had become messy due to rolling around, Gu Chaoxi raised his hand to smooth his hair and walked towards the door.

Qin Wei was leaning on the railing on the second floor, looking down, while Pei Yan was standing at the door waiting for her.

The door opened, Qin Wei heard the sound, stood up and turned sideways to look over here.

Seeing that the corners of her eyes were slightly red, he raised his hand and pointed at the corners of his own eyes.

"Little cutie, have you ever cried?"

"Hmm?" She was slightly startled and subconsciously raised her right hand to cover the corner of her eyes.

I did cry at that time, but after such a long time, are my eyes still red?

Shaking his head, Gu Chaoxi didn't want to admit it.

"I didn't sleep well and rubbed my eyes."

Qin Wei looked at her, as if trying to determine the truth of this sentence.

However, Pei Yan in front of them did not give them much chance to think about this and directly interrupted the two of them.

"Okay, time to go to work."

This sentence really attracted Qin Wei's attention. She looked at Pei Yan with a playful look and joked at him.

"You don't really think of yourself as a worker here, do you?"

As they were talking, Gu Chaoxi had already locked the door, and then several people started walking downstairs.

"How is that possible?" Pei Yan just retorted softly and said nothing more.

It is absolutely impossible to consider themselves as workers here, but they still have to go to the construction site in the afternoon.

After all, some things are still unclear, and only by going to crowded places can we perhaps find clues.

The three of them went downstairs and walked towards the front yard when they happened to meet Shen Yao and Qi Chu.

Shen Yao's gaze swept across Gu Chaoxi, his mouth moved but he didn't say anything.

But then she pursed her lips and shifted her gaze.

His actions were not very covert, so Gu Chaoxi naturally noticed them.

The two of them understood each other tacitly and did not mention it.

Shen Lan and Zhou Youyou arrived at the construction site early and had already started working.

It couldn't really be said that they were working. The contractor and the leader were not at the construction site today, and there was no one to supervise them. The two of them simply sat on the steps together.

Seeing a few people coming from afar, Zhou Youyou straightened up and waved at them.

Only when they got closer did they start talking.

"Don't have to work?" Qin Wei took a glance and found that not only the two of them were not working, but there were many people who were not working either.

When Zhou Ze walked over from the side, he saw that they were all gathered here, so he followed them and sat down on the steps.

Shen Lan nodded: "Because of Wang Chao's matter."

At this point, Zhou Ze spoke up: "I saw the two leaders enter He Mei's room, and then drove Yaya out of the room to He Xing's room to play."

It was probably at noon when everyone was taking a nap. He came out to the bathroom and saw two leaders entering He Mei's room.

Then Yaya ran to He Xing's room and knocked on the door.

At first, after He Xing opened the door, he wanted to carry Yaya back to He Mei's room.

But when he saw He Mei walk over and close the door and shake her head at him, He Xing turned around, carried Yaya into his room and closed the door.

In fact, Zhou Ze couldn’t see much. When he came back from the bathroom, He Mei’s room and windows were tightly closed.

He couldn't see what was going on inside and didn't hear any sound, so he thought the leaders had all left.

"Looking for He Mei, should it be to discuss compensation?"

Shen Shijie's family was not at the construction site, so his death could be covered up as being caused by his own mistake at the construction site.

If the other side had negotiated a little more, perhaps even compensation could have been saved.

Gu Chaoxi pursed her lips, said nothing, and just turned to look at the other building.

At the location of the big pit next to it, some workers are trying to fill it up.

Faintly, she seemed to see Brother Qiang among them.

He is here too. Is he preparing for the next move?

"I think we should consider some new ideas, such as exchanging killings."

When Pei Yan said this, he didn't look at Chaoxi, he was just thinking seriously.

"Brother Qiang's hatred for Wang Chao is even stronger. If he can kill Shen Shijie, it proves that he can also kill Wang Chao."

"But Wang Chao was killed by Zhao Zhifa."

"If the positions were reversed, Zhao Zhifa would help Brother Qiang kill Wang Chao, and Brother Qiang would help Zhao Zhifa kill Shen Shijie."

"If this is true, we need to find out the relationship between Zhao Zhifa and Shen Shijie."

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence among everyone.

Shen Lan hesitated: "But Shen Shijie is dead, Zhao Zhifa may not tell you."

"Go to Shen Shijie's room and look for clues."

If the relationship between Shen Shijie and Zhao Zhifa has reached the point where Zhao Zhifa wants to kill him, then Shen Shijie must have some evidence in his hand.

"Then shall we go now?"

Gu Chaoxi turned around and felt that some things were better dealt with earlier.
