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

Chapter 166 Burn Them with Fire

"matches?"

She always felt as if she had seen it before.

When Chen Chen was tripped to the ground, the puppet man kicked him right at the head.

Only Pei Yan was relatively close.

He turned his head, but still couldn't avoid the attack of the puppet in front of him. He took a punch and kicked the puppet away, then turned and moved towards Chen Chen's position.

This amount of time was not enough for him to say anything.

He squatted down, reached out to grab Chen Chen's ankle, and pulled him hard.

"bump!"

The puppet's foot kicked on the chair, and the cracked wood seemed to have trapped his foot.

For a while, the puppet couldn't get away.

But there was no time to think about it, Pei Yan simply grabbed Chen Chen's arm and pulled him up.

Pushing the man back on the chair, Pei Yan's tone was not very good.

"If you want to live, don't wait for others to save you."

He said, and instantly let go of his hand.

Chen Chen fell down a bit due to exhaustion, but he quickly caught himself on the chair and managed to stand up straight.

He gritted his teeth and nodded with a pale face.

Gu Chaoxi was looking for matches, but suddenly he was stunned.

Near the place where Molly and Zhou Jianren had tied the fishing line, she saw a small box on the ground.

In addition to the matches, there was also a roll of washed nylon rope and a dagger.

She squatted down and took out the matches, looking at the nylon rope and dagger in a daze.

Nylon rope is good for tying people up, but as for daggers, they are naturally used to hurt people.

Could it be that they planned to tie up the three people at a certain time, then kill them, make them fall from the stage like puppets, and finally burn them to death?

But suddenly, Gu Chaoxi felt that it shouldn't be that simple.

She held the matchbox in her hand, and without further thought, she quickly stood up and walked towards the bottom of the stage.

The match slid past the side of the box and a little light appeared in front of my eyes.

The clothes on the torch had long been soaked in alcohol, and now when Gu Chaoxi touched them with the match, they instantly caught fire.

"Pei Yan!"

When she looked up, Pei Yan was lying on the ground, and Qin Wei kicked the puppet in front of her away.

However, the puppet coming from the other side also knocked Qin Wei out.

Her waist hit the edge of the stage, and a pain came over her, and stars seemed to appear in front of her eyes.

Gu Chaoxi threw one of the torches in his hand towards Pei Yan. He had already stood up and stretched out his hand to grab it.

Shen Yao turned around and she threw another one over.

She was afraid that Chen Chen wouldn't be able to catch what was left in his hand, so she just ran towards Qin Wei.

A puppet seemed to be staring at Qin Wei, not giving her any time to breathe, and raised his fist straight towards Qin Wei.

The torch passed by the puppet's side, and it retreated several steps in an instant.

Only then did Gu Chaoxi help Qin Wei up and gave her a torch.

With the torches, these puppets were indeed a little scared.

Chen Chen also knew what to do now, and consciously walked over and took one from Gu Chaoxi's hand.

A few people huddled together, relying on the temporary light of the torches, and were considered safe.

The five of them formed a small circle and sat down back to back.

Qin Wei rubbed her lower back. She was still in pain from the collision.

Pei Yan was also injured in many places. He lowered his eyes and looked at the bruises on his elbows.

He used his arms to block the attacks several times, and his arms were covered with bruises.

The amount of clothes tied to the sticks is limited and they cannot burn for too long.

Gu Chaoxi looked up at the three puppets that were revolving around them, and the emotions in his eyes were not quite clear.

He took another look at the torch in his hand. The clothes were burning too quickly. I guess they would only last for a little longer.

But within a minute, Pei Yan and the others hadn't even recovered from their shock.

"Any more alcohol?"

"No more, I've used them all."

She shook her head.

Pei Yan sighed, seeming a little depressed.

"The puppets move very fast when they encounter fire. It's not easy to burn them."

"I just saw some opera clothes on it."

Gu Chaoxi's eyes lit up and he turned his head to point at the stage.

Those opera clothes are not only baggy, but also have very long sleeves.

It would be much easier if we could dress the puppets in these opera clothes and then set the costumes on fire.

"I'll go get the costume!"

Now, only Gu Chaoxi is most familiar with the things on the stage.

Pei Yan nodded and turned his head to look at her: "Be careful."

"Don't worry, the little cutie is incredibly strong now."

Qin Wei smiled beside her, but still couldn't help but look in the direction of Gu Chaoxi with a bit of worry in her eyes.

She stood up and rushed out with a torch.

There wasn't actually much time left for them, and once she left, their original circle was shrunk a little.

The puppet really didn't pay much attention to her, which gave her some free time.

Gu Chaoxi rolled up three large costumes on his arms and quickly jumped off the stage.

Pei Yan and others also stood up immediately.

"Give me!"

Pei Yan shouted at her, and she immediately understood.

She threw the costume in her hand away, and it spread out in front of her eyes in an instant.

Shen Yao and Qin Wei each took one and left. Gu Chaoxi still had one piece left in his hand, and the other end of that piece was caught by Pei Yan.

He took two steps forward and came to her side.

His eyes paused on the torch for a moment, then moved to Gu Chaoxi.

"Together."

"Ah."

The two of them simply held up one sleeve each and stared at the puppet closest to them.

"Quick victory."

Qin Wei and Shen Yao also have to protect Chen Chen, so they have to move faster.

The puppet was burned by the light of the torch and quickly retreated to the side, but was forced back by Gu Chaoxi who stepped forward and waved the torch.

That space was not very big to begin with, and after being expelled like this, it stopped right between the two of them.

They each took a step to the side, spread out their costumes, and then rushed forward.

The loose clothes completely covered the puppet.

The flames on both sides forced him in the middle, and he collided head-on with the torn costume.

Seeing this, Gu Chaoxi quickly went behind the puppet.

Pei Yan threw the sleeve in his hand over, and his colleague took the torch thrown by Gu Chaoxi.

She moved quickly, raising her legs to hold down the puppet and wrapping her sleeves around it a few times to tie it around her.

When the puppet struggled free, the costume had already been tied to his body.

When Pei Yan threw Gu Chaoxi's torch back again, he also pointed the torch in his own hand towards the puppet.

While the firelight forced the puppets to retreat, Gu Chaoxi had already taken his torch and stepped on the costume dragging on the ground.

"sieve!"

The flames spread almost instantly.

She could only see a rapidly twisting and struggling body in the bright firelight.
