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

Chapter 354 Tomb

"I'm sorry, I know this is offensive, but we need to know the truth."

Gu Chaoxi stood in front of Mrs. Zhao’s grave, bowed, then turned to look at Shen Yao.

When they came out to bury the bodies, they did not bring tools from the temple. Instead, there were two shovels here that they could use to dig a hole at any time.

Shen Yao picked up the two shovels from a pile of weeds and handed one to Pei Yan.

The shovel is a bit old, with mottled marks all over it, and it has been left in the wild for a long time, so it looks a bit rotten.

Or maybe it had just been used recently, so it looked a little smooth where it was normally held.

After Pei Yan took it from Shen Yao, he shoveled the soil into Mrs. Zhao's grave.

When Shen Yao saw him take action, he immediately followed suit.

Gu Chaoxi just stood aside holding a fire starter. The night air was cold, and she could even see her own breath in the faint light of the fire.

It took Pei Yan and Shen Yao a while to dig away the top layer of the grave mound, and now they began to dig downwards.

She stayed on one side for a while, then took a small step back and simply sat down on the spot.

It was pitch black all around, except for the fire starter in Gu Chaoxi's hand and the other fire starters placed on the ground by two people.

Apart from these three spots of light, no other spots of light can be seen nearby.

About ten minutes later, the pit was finally dug.

But... Pei Yan looked at the pit and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing his strange expression, Gu Chaoxi supported himself with his hands and stood up from the ground, patted the dust off his butt, and took two steps forward.

There was only one set of clothes half-covered by the soil in the pit. It was the set that was salvaged after Mrs. Zhao fell into the water.

Apart from that, there were no remains at all.

So, where did Mrs. Zhao’s body go?

Even Shen Yao is a little confused now. He and the little monk buried the body together. It shouldn't have been too long, so how could he be gone?

"Is there something in the mountains?"

They had not explored the entire mountain.

Moreover, Gu Chaoxi didn’t think there would be anything in the mountains.

"Maybe it's just a trick." She thought for a moment and touched her chin.

The burial of Mrs. Zhao was fake, just to get something out.

She has not forgotten that the current background setting is that this place is not safe, with wars raging and no place to live.

There were even many people who defected, causing the failure of their original camp. In short, it was a mess.

"Dig up Master Qin's too!"

Gu Chaoxi's eyes were gloomy. While Pei Yan and Shen Yao were tinkering with another grave, he jumped directly into Mrs. Zhao's pit.

The burial pit was not very deep, only reaching Gu Chaoxi's knees.

She stood in the pit, squatted down and looked at the clothes on the ground carefully again and again.

The light from the fire stick shone on her face, bringing a cool feeling.

After a while, she slowly stood up.

This dress is not the one that Mrs. Zhao wears. Although the difference is not very big, it is definitely not the same one.

The clothes were not the same set, which means that Mrs. Zhao's body was taken away with her clothes. That person took a special set of clothes and threw it into the pit.

What is this, a cenotaph for Madam Zhao?

She sighed, stepped on it, and climbed out of the pit.

At this time, Mr. Qin's grave had been shoveled open and became flat.

Shen Yao dug with a shovel and gradually stopped moving. The two of them had been digging two holes in a row and it was really exhausting for them.

The soil here is not very loose, but rather dry and like a hard lump.

Clearly, Mrs. Zhao's body was buried yesterday, but when Shen Yao was digging the hole, he felt it was completely different from during the day.

They were relatively relaxed during the day, but they were so tired at night.

But it was just a short rest. Seeing Pei Yan frowning and still working hard, Shen Yao also lowered his head and continued.

After another seven or eight minutes, the two men dug up Master Qin's grave.

Gu Chaoxi walked over, took a look, and then looked away.

It’s nothing, Master Qin is here.

After being buried for so long, his body was covered in mud and his original appearance could hardly be seen.

Coupled with the blood and dirt on his body, he looked even worse now.

"The other two digging?"

"Dig it."

The question was asked by Shen Yao, and it was answered by Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi together.

"There should be nothing in those two graves." This is what Gu Chaoxi said.

Pei Yan didn't say anything, but nodded because of what she said.

Pei Yan thought so when there was no one in Mrs. Zhao’s pit just now. The other two pits whose names he didn’t know were probably also empty.

But this still needs to be dug up and verified.

"Why do you think so?" Although Shen Yao had some ideas, he couldn't confirm it completely.

Gu Chaoxi looked at the two people who were busy with their heads down, bent down, and moved the fire lighter closer.

"You mentioned earlier that the monks' expressions were not right. Perhaps this is a small clue."

"When I was in the temple before, I noticed what Madam Zhao was wearing. She was wearing things from the temple."

Mrs. Zhao and the two siblings of the Zhao family came to the ancient Anning Temple not because they were forced like the two siblings of the Luo family.

Therefore, they must have a lot of things from before, but they didn’t show them in public, and even their clothes were the same as those in the temple.

On the other hand, although the two brothers and sisters of the Luo family were forced here, their clothes still showed some signs of being wealthy.

Since these things were not found in the room when the room was searched, it means that Mrs. Zhao put all the valuables somewhere else.

Where was this other place? He was the abbot of the temple at that time.

All they had been looking at before were the public areas of the temple and the guest rooms on both sides, but they had overlooked one place, which was the residence of the monks in the temple.

Indeed, there seems to be no rooms for monks in the temple at present.

This is the hidden part, the part they don't know about yet.

Although Mrs. Zhao was dead, her body was no longer there.

Her money could be taken away by the temple, and her body seemed intact on the surface, so perhaps there were other unspeakable secrets.

Considering the things Luo Yu had done for Luo Zhao in the past, what if some perverts just like something a little different?

So they need to look at the other two, maybe they are just cenotaphs.

After listening to her narration, Shen Yao looked at the pit that had already begun to show its clues and nodded: "So, the temple also has its own secrets that cannot be revealed."

Indeed, this temple is not as grand as it appears.
