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

Chapter 163 The Princess and the Knight

Qin Wei played with the knife in his hand, and Chen Chen beside him couldn't help but shrink his neck.

She glanced over and couldn't help but sneer.

"You're scared?"

"Swords have no eyes, I cherish my life."

He originally wanted to glare at Qin Wei, but was afraid that he would be beaten by Qin Wei, so he endured it and just silently took a step aside.

Over there, Shen Yao found another box with the three words "Shen Xiangzhi" written on the back.

The clothing inside looked the same type as those three people, except that it was a skirt with something like a small blood bag on it.

“It would be nice if we could find a relevant script.”

Gu Chaoxi sighed lightly and started looking for something in the drawer of this office.

The scripts were either placed here during rehearsal or taken back to their respective classrooms.

But they have checked the classrooms these days and there is no such thing as a script.

Of course, the script is still here.

A few people were searching for something in silence, and Gu Chaoxi actually found similar things in a pile of notebooks.

However, these printed scripts only have text on them, without even a title.

There is very little description of the scenes in the script, and it is completely supported by dialogues.

If this book wasn't performed by three boys and one girl, Gu Chaoxi would probably eliminate it first.

She took two steps back, leaned against the table, and tapped her toes on the ground.

"This story tells the tragic love story between a princess and a knight."

She spoke slowly as she flipped through the pages.

The story goes that the princess of this country has her own responsibility since birth, which is to marry the prince of another country for the sake of peace.

But the princess has always felt that peace should not be purchased by her marriage.

So, the princess has been rebellious since she was a child, and she fell in love with her knight.

This knight was originally the son of a nobleman in the country. After the nobleman died of illness, his son entered the palace to serve the king.

The knight also likes the princess, but this is an unacceptable love.

Soon, the guards around the king discovered the affair between the two and told the king about it.

The king was very angry after hearing this, so he ordered his guards to take the princess back to his bedroom, and then sent knights to guard the city.

The princess and the knight were separated like this, but this did not break up their relationship. Instead, the longing for each other day and night made them realize that they were indeed in love with each other.

Late one night, the princess set her chamber on fire and jumped out of the window.

The knight was waiting for her below, and the two of them wanted to escape.

But the guard learned the truth and ran after the knight and the princess.

As the knight refused to obey, the guards started fighting with him. In the chaos, the guard's knife pierced the knight's chest.

The knight is dead.

When the princess saw that her lover was dead, she was no longer able to resist and could only be taken back by the guards.

However, the princess became depressed after losing her lover and soon died.

At the end of the story, the king finally understood the depth of their love and buried the princess and the knight together.

"I think this princess is obviously selfish."

Qin Wei shook his head somewhat disapprovingly.

Gu Chaoxi instantly understood what she meant and just shook his head helplessly.

"As a princess, you have been living a life of luxury since childhood. You should know your responsibilities."

Since you have received a favor, you should pay for it.

To put it nicely, it is the pursuit of free love; to put it bluntly, it is a disregard for the safety of the country's people.

But it's just a storybook.

"Weiwei, the storybook says so, who would go into it?"

Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and patted Qin Wei's shoulder, then stretched out the hand holding the script forward, towards the box on the ground.

"Now I probably know why it was alcohol and knives."

"It really matches the script. It seems that this person really wants to take this opportunity to directly and blatantly let the three people kill each other."

Pei Yan nodded and looked down at the ground.

"Or rather, Zhou Jianren wanted them to be like this."

Most of Zhou Jianren's pain came from Shen Anguo's family, Qi Tao's abuse of her, and her brother Zhou Jianguo's turning a blind eye.

Although it seems that Shen Anguo can pull himself out of it, who can say for sure?

Also, there is Molly's revenge on them.

They killed their loved ones and took revenge on their own, which is understandable.

"But I think Zhou Jianren could have gotten away with it, so why did he put himself in danger?"

Chen Chen looked at several people, trying to find the answer.

Shen Yao shook his head.

"She doesn't want to be Shen Xiangzhi, but her path to being Zhou Weiyi is blocked by the Shen family. Her will to survive is actually not strong."

Being tortured and molded into another person was a very painful thing for Zhou Jianren himself.

She was originally a very outstanding girl, but she lost her parents and freedom just because of Shen's father's perverted selfishness.

When her parents died, she probably thought about dying, but the Shen family didn't give her the chance.

Under day-to-day torture, her mental state gradually collapsed and she began to transform herself into Shen Xiangzhi.

Perhaps it was because life after returning to school reminded her of the past, so she wanted to escape again.

It’s a pity that her methods seemed extremely childish in the eyes of the Shen family.

The Shen family only needs to move a finger and she will have nowhere to stay in Chengyang.

There was no way to avoid it, and coupled with the humiliation she suffered later, the last string in her heart broke.

Even if Zhou Jianren did this to take revenge on society, Gu Chaoxi felt that there was a reason for it.

But she just wanted to drag the three boys to die together, and she still had her conscience.

Lowering his eyes, Gu Chaoxi stroked the script in his hand.

"If we replay the entire incident now, the truth should come out, right?"

"Wait a little longer, there may be another battle tonight."

Pei Yan shook his head slightly.

Gu Chaoxi raised her eyes, but his gaze was not on her. Instead, he was looking at the door leading to the front of the lecture hall.

The door had just been opened by them, and now it was pitch black outside, and the door frame seemed to be melting into it.

"It's getting late, we should go back to the dormitory."

Qin Wei looked over, turned around, and reached out to Gu Chaoxi.

She held Qin Wei's hand and used the force to stand up straight.

"That's right, go back to the dormitory and rest early."

"Well, let's go."

So, several people put down their things, walked out of the office, and closed the door again.

The entire lecture hall was pitch black, and they could only grope their way outside with the help of a little dim light.

It was not until they walked out of the gate and the moonlight outside shone on the ground that they began to stride forward.

It was such a quiet night, without even a trace of wind, and there was a sense of death in the silence.
