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

Chapter 361: The Hole on the Circular Platform

The area where he stopped was much wider than the passage just now. It could even be said that it was an empty small platform.

The three people behind him moved to the side tacitly, and everyone stood at the edge.

He stretched the fire starter in his hand forward, slowly squatted down, and saw the true face in front of him.

It is not appropriate to call it a platform. Now, after extending a few fire starters, it can be seen clearly that this is actually a large room, but it is blocked by a wide ravine in the middle.

Gu Chaoxi stood up and walked directly to the left.

She put the dagger behind her waist, moved the fire lighter to her right hand, and raised her left hand, but did not press it against the wall, always keeping a distance.

Walk slowly forward.

The fire starter in her hand could barely illuminate the path she was walking on, and she could also see what was on the wall next to her.

It is still made of bluestone blocks, and it seems to be covered with a layer of dark green moss.

When Pei Yan saw Gu Chaoxi walking to the left, he knew what she was going to do, so he also walked to the right.

After walking a few more steps, Gu Chaoxi saw a candlestick sticking out on the left.

The remaining candle on the candlestick was very short, but it looked to be about the length of two knuckles.

She pursed her lips, held the lighter and handed it over, lighting the candle on it.

As the candlelight grew brighter, this area was completely illuminated, but it was still not enough.

The gullies on the ground almost completely separate the surroundings, and there is no way to go to the center.

Pei Yan also found the candlestick and lit the candle on it.

The two of them walked around the edge and lit all the remaining candlesticks. In the end, they met together opposite Qin Wei.

"It seems that I am right. This gully is designed to prevent us from reaching the middle."

As Gu Chaoxi spoke, he squatted down, leaned forward slightly, and leaned down with a fire starter in his hand.

There was a silver light in the ravine, which was the light of mercury illuminated by the fire.

Pei Yan helped her stand up from the ground, and the two walked back to the starting point.

Since all the candles have been lit, the whole room is now illuminated.

Qin Wei looked up at the center, where there was a round platform with layers stacked up on top of it.

As for what is on top, no one knows.

But from what Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan saw when they lit the candles just now, there were no secret doors in the surrounding walls.

If this room leads to another place, the mechanism can only be in the invisible place at the top.

"Is there a hole above that leads directly to the bottom?"

Although it was a question, Qin Wei said it in an affirmative tone.

"Then we have to go over there first." Qi Chuzhao said in a low voice, glancing towards the ravine.

This ravine is not narrow at all. At least, it is definitely not the kind that can be stepped over with just one foot.

Qin Wei lowered her eyes, glanced inside, and heard Gu Chaoxi's voice sounding beside her.

"There's mercury in it, so we don't have the chance to make mistakes."

If you fall in, you will definitely die.

"Let me give it a try." Pei Yan turned his head and looked towards the passage they came from. He pursed his lips, extinguished the fire starter in his hand, covered it, and put it into his chest.

Seeing him walking towards the passage, Qin Wei and Qi Chuzhao both moved aside, while Gu Chaoxi just took two steps back in silence.

a chance.

Pei Yan estimated the distance in front of him and thought it would take him a few steps before he could jump. He had to succeed and could not fail.

Pei Yan clenched his fists, nodded, lowered his eyes, and gathered his strength.

Then, like a leopard, it rushed forward rapidly.

Pei Yan gritted his teeth and raised his leg to cross over. His eyes became more and more profound. Fortunately, his foot landed on the ground opposite.

This side was slightly wider, so he used the force of landing to roll over on the ground, then knelt on one knee to steady himself.

Gu Chaoxi had just breathed a sigh of relief when Qin Wei next to him nudged him with his elbow.

She had a smile on her face and raised her chin towards Pei Yan, her tone somewhat relaxed.

"Is he handsome to you?"

As he spoke, he winked at Gu Chaoxi.

She burst out laughing for a moment, then remembered where she was, and patted Qin Wei's arm helplessly.

"Stop it, Weiwei."

Qin Wei pursed her lips. Pei Yan was so handsome just now, why didn't Gu Chaoxi praise him?

Oh, could it be that the young couple is shy?

As she thought so, she secretly glanced at Gu Chaoxi's expression.

Seeing that she was just observing the distance of the ravine carefully at this time, he simply gave up.

After Pei Yan stood up, he clapped his hands and climbed up towards the stacked circles.

When I reached the top, it was just as Qin Wei had said, there was a hole at the top, falling straight down, and there was not even a protruding place to grab hold of around.

The pitch-black entrance seemed to swallow him, but he just took a look, pushed it open, and crawled down.

"How is it?" Qin Wei asked him.

Pei Yan nodded, then looked at Gu Zhaoxi: "Come over here, take bigger steps after the run-up."

Hearing this, she raised her hand to gesture that she understood, extinguished the fire starter in her hand, and put the fire starter away while walking towards the passage.

After about five steps, she stopped and turned around, looking at Pei Yan who was standing in the middle.

The man was looking at her, his eyes filled with unstoppable concern.

Gu Chaoxi gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and moved his left foot back a little.

She clenched her hands, and the next second, she ran forward.

She took a step, jumped, and flew forward.

Her momentum was quite strong, but luckily Pei Yan was standing over there. She had only taken two steps when Pei Yan grabbed her waist and held her in his arms.

Blinking, Gu Chaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and patted Pei Yan's arm.

"I'm fine!"

Pei Yan let go of her hand when he saw her relax, and looked towards the other side again.

Qin Wei waved her hand: "I know, please move aside."

As she spoke, she had already walked onto the aisle and was ready to run.

"Charge!" Qin Wei encouraged himself in his heart and immediately rushed to the opposite side. Fortunately, he escaped without any danger.

After jumping a few more steps forward, she raised her hands and pressed on the steps of the platform to steady herself.

After taking a breath, he turned around.

Qi Chuzhao had already gone to the passage by himself. Although he was a little scared, since the three people before him had gone through, he was sure he could do it too.

Thinking about it, before the person on the other side could say anything, Qi Chuzhao had already rushed over.

Lift your feet and jump.

"Hiss!" After rushing forward two steps, Qi Chuzhao twisted his foot and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he fell just after he came over. If he had fallen before he came over, it would have been terrible.

He gritted his teeth, got up from the ground and looked at his ankle.

"Are you okay?" Pei Yan squatted down and his eyes fell on Qi Chuzhao's ankle.

The ankles were wrapped in socks, so nothing could be seen clearly, but Qi Chuzhao shook his head.

Since he thought it was okay, Pei Yan didn't ask any more questions.

Qin Wei had already climbed up and was lying on her stomach at the dark entrance of the cave, looking at it and reaching out to pass the fire starter inside.
