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

Chapter 360 Weird Stone Gate

Gu Chaoxi looked towards the torture instruments on the left wall, and his footsteps indeed followed this side.

Pei Yan, on the other hand, walked towards the burial objects on the right.

Looking at the wall of torture instruments in front of him, Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and touched his chin.

Among these torture instruments, there are whips, sticks covered with barbs, and fire tongs.

She looked at the ones with bamboo strips connected together, which were used to clamp fingers, and there were even residual dark red bloodstains on them.

These things have obviously been used.

She moved closer and saw that many of the torture instruments were already rusted, and it looked like she couldn't tell how long ago they were used.

He raised his hand and touched one of the long sticks, and his fingertips were covered with a layer of dust.

Pei Yan, on the other hand, was quite interested in the funerary objects placed nearby.

Many of these are porcelain, jars, wine glasses, ornaments, and all kinds of things, and from the appearance, they can be said to be well-made.

He lowered his eyes, reached out and picked up a wine jug from the shelf.

This wine jug is not big, only slightly larger than the palm, and can be held in one hand.

There is a small seal engraved on the bottom of the wine jug. If you look closely, you can vaguely make out the year.

Other than that, there are no other signs.

After taking a look, Pei Yan put the wine glass in his hand back down.

His eyes swept over the various things on the shelf again, and finally stopped on a plate with a broken corner.

This plate is about the size of a face, with patterns outlined on it with colorful paints, which is quite eye-catching.

Pei Yan took two steps towards that direction and reached out to pick it up.

There is a layer of dust on the plate. Turn it over and you can see the mark on the bottom of the plate.

Compared to the bottom of the wine glass just now, the bottom of this plate can be said to be very comprehensive.

In addition to the year of production, the plate also has its own mark.

"Given by the royal family?"

Pei Yan murmured, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Qin Wei heard his voice and turned to walk towards Pei Yan.

"what happened?"

He raised his eyes and just handed over the thing in his hand.

"Look at this, I'm not sure."

Although he had learned a lot from following Qin Wei before, sometimes he still couldn't confirm some things that happened a long time ago.

When Qin Wei looked at the plate in her hand, Qi Chuzhao also came over.

He didn't say anything either, he just watched along as they watched, hoping to learn something from them.

Qin Wei raised his eyebrows, turned the plate over and over twice, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"It's nothing more than a gift from the royal family. The words engraved on it are basically something like a blessing from heaven."

"But this place is strange."

After she finished speaking, she put the plate back to the empty space on the shelf, which was exactly the spot where Pei Yan had just taken it.

"Why is it strange?" Gu Chaoxi found a dagger in the torture instrument and took it in his hand to try the feel.

After hearing what Qin Wei said, she turned around and walked towards the few people.

Although the dagger in his hand looked very old, the blade was still visibly sharp.

"Let's talk about this door."

Qin Wei pointed towards the closed door, walked in, and prepared to tell them something.

"In ancient times, people said that five claws were a dragon, and four claws were a python, so the carving on this is easily a dragon."

But what's so strange? The configuration here, no matter how you look at it, shouldn't be of such a high standard.

Putting aside the question of why there are walls full of torture instruments, let’s just talk about the burial objects. They look complete and of standard, but there are too few of them and they are not valuable enough.

It is difficult to say that this room is the apse of the tomb.

It is hard to say that this room is a simple cellar or a secret room.

Furthermore, there is the message Qin Wei read from the words engraved on the door.

She squatted down and put her hand on the door.

"These inscriptions are not scriptures, nor are they ancient spells. They describe a blessing."

"To put it simply, it's a wish for a princess. It's probably that she had a very hard life in this life, and she hopes she can be happy in the next life."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Chaoxi noticed something strange.

"You mean, this place, uh, belongs to a princess?"

Regardless of whether this place is a tomb or not, based on the records on the door, this place at least belongs to a princess.

"Correct."

Qin Wei nodded.

This is very strange. If this belongs to a princess, let’s just say this is a tomb.

If it is a tomb, then why is the entrance just under the bed in an ordinary room?

Or in other words, since she was a princess, she shouldn't be buried under a temple, right?

These were also the doubts that Qin Wei had when he just interpreted it.

Pei Yan stood up straight and looked at the door in front of him.

"Can it be opened?" He asked Qin Wei, and then saw Qin Wei nodded.

The door was not locked, and there was nothing behind it.

Qin Wei had just tried this. She pushed the door and there was no obstruction behind her.

They can open the door now if they want.

After thinking about it, Pei Yan still used his strength on the door.

This was a stone door. As the strength in his hands increased, the stone door slowly turned backwards, and at the same time, a thick layer of dust fell off it.

Gu Chaoxi had already taken out a tinderbox and blew it until it lit.

It seemed as if a cold wind was blowing past her eyes. She subconsciously narrowed her eyes and clenched the dagger in her right hand.

Pei Yan tilted his head, waiting for the uncomfortable feeling to go away, then turned his head back.

With the light of the fire starter in Gu Chaoxi's hand, he could barely see that there was a passage ahead.

Qin Wei also took the fire starter and blew it up. Qi Chuzhao followed suit and blew the fire starter into the air and held it in his hand.

Pei Yan blew up the fire stick and passed some to the front.

The width of this passage is about the same as that of the door, just a little wider than the door.

The stone door opens to both sides, so you can see straight into the empty corridor.

"It's so dark." Gu Chaoxi couldn't help but mutter.

"I'm in front." As he said that, Pei Yan had already stepped in.

After him, Gu Chaoxi followed in.

It seemed a little damp inside. Apart from the dust when the door was opened, after entering, there was a fishy smell mixed with earth and dampness.

This passage is paved with bluestone on both sides, but dirt still cannot be avoided from coming out of it.

Gu Chaoxi looked at the situation on both sides while following Pei Yan's footsteps and walking forward.

The deeper we walked, the road under our feet gradually became wider.

She frowned, and although she didn't say anything, she felt something was wrong.

Qin Wei also looked around with a fire starter in hand. This passage seemed a little strange no matter how he looked at it.

Pei Yan walked and gradually slowed down.

Until the road in front of him suddenly fell downwards, he raised his hand and stopped Gu Chaoxi.
