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

Chapter 402: There is a ghost on the construction site

The two men used sticks to pull away the weeds and started walking inside.

It rained heavily last night, and the half-man-high weeds were still covered with rain water.

When I was pulling out the weeds, I could feel a stream of water falling from them, splashing onto my calves and shoes.

His clothes were a little wet, but Gu Chaoxi didn't care about that.

The two walked deeper and deeper, and finally reached the edge of the pit.

The water at the bottom of the pit is thicker than yesterday, but the entire pit doesn't seem to be much different from yesterday.

"It seems like no one has been here." Gu Chaoxi glanced around and found that the weeds on the edge showed no signs of being destroyed compared to yesterday.

"See if there's anything hiding in the weeds."

Pei Yan said this and reached directly into the weeds.

Gu Chaoxi didn't hesitate and reached into the weeds on the other side.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, slowly moved towards the other side of the pit almost from the direction they came in.

But there was nothing but weeds.

Not even a bit of garbage was found.

They met each other on the other side and didn't notice anything unusual.

There was so much rain water in the weeds that the two men had to walk to the edge of the pit.

After shaking off the water on his body, Gu Chaoxi lowered his head and twisted the hem of his clothes.

A stream of water was wrung out and fell in front of him, splashing some mud spots.

She took a small step back with some disgust, raised her head to look at Pei Yan, and then looked around the pit again.

This pit didn't even show any signs of having been excavated recently, let alone any corpses.

"If Wang Chao is still alive but cannot be found at the construction site, it is more likely that he has been tied up and hidden by someone."

Gu Chaoxi analyzed rationally: "Maybe the other party had to let him live a little longer because of something?"

Pei Yan nodded: "It seems that we still need to find out who was the one who fought with Wang Chao."

And then again, whether there was such a person who fought with Wang Chao remains to be investigated.

After all, I heard this from Brother Qiang. What if Brother Qiang just made up a story and there was no such person at all?

Unless there is someone else who knows about this and can corroborate it.

Otherwise, they will be distracted by this matter.

The two looked at each other and instantly understood each other's concerns.

After pondering for a while, Gu Chaoxi looked at the building next to him. There should be a lot of workers going up there by now.

"Let's go back to work in the building first. We may need to think about this matter again, or go ask He Mei if there was anything unusual last night."

She didn't believe that a grown man just disappeared like that without any suspicion.

As the person closest to Wang Chao, He Mei should know something.

Pei Yan nodded, and the two of them went back the way they came.

As time passed, the sunlight seemed to shine down again, bringing a little sultry heat.

Gu Chaoxi threw the wooden stick back on the side against the wall, then walked around the wall and into the building.

The two went up the stairs and happened to meet Qin Wei coming down.

"Hey, you're back so soon?" She seemed a little surprised.

Gu Zhaoxi nodded, with a little regret: "Yeah, I didn't find anything."

Qin Wei nodded and prepared to continue walking down, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stepped back.

"The two leaders are up there. They've assigned me something to do. I have to do it first."

After she finished speaking, she continued walking downstairs.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chaoxi raised his eyes and looked at Pei Yan.

The leader who did not show up yesterday showed up today and even assigned a task to Qin Wei.

Are you showing up today because of Wang Chao’s disappearance?

"Let's go up and take a look first." Pei Yan raised his hand and gently patted Gu Chaoxi's back, his tone soothing.

In fact, she was not worried about the appearance of her leader, but was more worried about Wang Chao's disappearance.

It's the second day now. Although it seems there are still three full days left, the situation is not optimistic.

When the two men reached the seventh floor, they saw two men in hats standing there directing something, and Shen Shijie was standing beside them, nodding and bowing.

The two men were both wearing shirts and helmets, and looked relatively fair compared to the others.

I don't know why, but I suddenly looked towards Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi.

"Those two, why aren't you working quickly? What are you doing strolling around for?"

One of the leaders seemed impatient and pointed at the two of them.

Shen Shijie was watching from the side and immediately understood. He waved his hand at the two of them and said, "Hurry up and work. Stop wandering around."

"Okay." After responding, Gu Chaoxi walked towards the place where he worked yesterday.

The leader seemed to be satisfied when he saw that everyone at this level was in their posts.

He was talking to Shen Shijie again and walking downstairs.

Gu Chaoxi slowly stopped only after their figures completely disappeared beyond the stairs.

Then he glanced at the workers near him and looked at one of the men who was muttering to himself.

Gu Chaoxi raised the corner of his lips and walked towards him with the shovel in his hand.

The man heard the sound of the shovel sliding on the ground, and looked up to see Gu Chaoxi walking up to him.

He frowned, as if he was very unhappy about someone coming to disturb him: "What's going on? What's wrong?"

Gu Chaoxi looked like he was getting into a fight.

She chuckled, stuck the shovel into the ground, put both hands on it, and raised her chin towards the man.

"I just heard you mention Wang Chao. Can you tell me about him too?"

"Why should I tell you?" The man glanced at Gu Chaoxi with some disdain, and was about to move aside with the tools in his hand.

But Gu Chaoxi was quick and grabbed his arm.

She used some strength on her hands, and the man was unable to break free for a while, so he could only look at her helplessly.

"Tell me, I guess you and Wang Chao don't have a very good relationship. You should be very happy that he is missing."

"If I tell my boss, you know..."

Her words stopped abruptly, and she saw that the man's face looked a little ugly.

At this time, no one wants to be associated with such a bad thing.

Sure enough, the man stopped walking away, took a step towards Gu Chaoxi, and raised his other hand to pat the back of her hand.

"Let me go first, isn't it okay for me to tell you?"

Seeing that he was begging for mercy and didn't look like someone who would play tricks, Gu Chaoxi slowly let go of his hand.

"Tell me what you know."

The man sighed deeply, his eyes complicated: "I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you."

As soon as the man said this, Gu Chaoxi felt something was not right.

If it was a normal disappearance or being taken away by someone, he wouldn't have such a constipated expression.

But you have to listen first.

"You go ahead and say it."

The man looked around and moved closer to Gu Chaoxi's ear, speaking mysteriously.

"There's a ghost on the construction site."
