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

Chapter 359: Underground Palace Under the Stairs

"Huo Zhezi."

Shen Yao whispered as he took out four fire starters from his sleeves one after another, three of which were the ones they had used yesterday.

Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and pulled one out from the middle.

Qin Wei also stretched out his arm, took one out and held it in his palm.

Pei Yan and Qi Chuzhao were left. Shen Yao weighed his wrist and motioned for them to take their things.

Pei Yan glanced sideways and pulled one out, while Qi Chuzhao reached out and took the remaining one.

Several people took the tinder, opened it and blew it to light it, and then slowly stood up.

Pei Yan took the lead and took the first step towards the stairs.

The entrance was a little cramped, so he squatted down slightly and then moved down step by step.

He held the fire starter in his right hand and shone it forward, his wrist holding it very steady.

There was nothing but darkness ahead, and all I could see was the stairs below my feet.

Although it looks dusty, you can still tell that the craftsmen polished it very smoothly when it was renovated.

Although it doesn't look very smooth, it has edges and corners and is quite regular.

After Pei Yan, it was Gu Chaoxi.

She followed Pei Yan down, with one hand loosely resting on the wall and the other holding a fire starter to check the situation around her.

After them came Qi Chuzhao.

Qi Chuzhao originally wanted to go last, but the look in Qin Wei's eyes made it clear that he wanted him to go first.

He didn't act pretentiously, nor did he insist on being the last one to leave. He went up the stairs very cooperatively.

Qin Wei was the last one to come up the stairs. She walked a few steps and turned back.

Shen Yao squatted above the cave entrance, frowning slightly, his lips tightly pursed, just staring at her.

After seeing Qin Wei turn around, Shen Yao quickly forced a smile.

The worry between his brows did not disappear at all.

He seemed unaware of how hurt his expression looked in Qin Wei's eyes.

Qin Wei thought about it and smiled at him.

"You should also pay attention to safety."

At this moment, it seems that this is all I can say.

"Okay." Shen Yao nodded.

He used some strength to support the bed board, and saw Qin Wei's figure gradually disappear into the darkness, so he lowered the bed board completely.

As the bed was completely closed, Shen Yao lowered his head and sighed heavily.

Even when he was in Chengyang Middle School and entered into such a dream alone, he did not panic at all.

Why now, even though I clearly saw that they were acting together, I was still afraid that something might happen to them?

Shaking off the strange thoughts in his mind, Shen Yao stood up by the edge of the bed.

Watching him put the mattress back on the bed with an expressionless face, Shen Lan shuddered for no reason.

She shuddered and goose bumps appeared on her arms.

Raising his hands and rubbing his arms, Shen Lan turned his head to look towards the door.

The door was still closed as it had been when they came in, and nothing seemed to have changed.

But Shen Lan felt a strange feeling in her heart.

This feeling is similar to what Shen Yao felt just now.

As for the four people who went down, they are not in such a good condition now.

As Shen Yao completely covered the entrance at that time, the only light source inside was the fire lighter in everyone's hands.

The shaking movement caused the light of the tinder to shake, and their shadows began to sway left and right.

Perhaps because the space was cramped, several people could even hear each other's breathing.

As the stairs went further down, the space below began to widen, and everyone walked upright.

After about a minute or two, Pei Yan's pace slowed down.

"It looks similar to the one we went to before."

He was referring to the tomb they visited before entering the plane. Gu Chaoxi and Qin Wei naturally understood what he meant.

Although Qi Chuzhao didn't understand what they were saying, he also knew that what they said was useful.

Pei Yan stepped into the room that could be called the underground palace first, holding up a fire starter and looking around.

The light from the tinder was limited, and he couldn't see much, so he just wanted to see if there were any candles left here.

If you have candles, light them and the room will feel much better.

The four people spread out like a line, and the range of the fire starter's light was a little larger.

Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi rubbed their way forward and finally saw a table with half a candle left on it.

He stretched out his hand, and the light of the tinder and the candle merged together.

A little smoke rose and the candle was lit.

Even though the candle was not big, it still made the originally dark environment brighter in an instant.

Of course, just a few.

The room still looked dim.

After thinking about it, Gu Chaoxi put the fire lighter back on and retracted his sleeves.

She straightened up and looked around the room.

Only now could I see clearly that this place didn't look like a tomb or a cellar.

If Pei Yan just judged that this place looked like an attic, it was because he saw something on the right that looked like a burial object.

Now, I have to take that back.

With a light snort, Pei Yan raised his hand and tapped his forehead.

"It seems that there is a big gap between here and what we thought."

Qin Wei looked at it and nodded: "Indeed, there is a big gap."

If Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi were more concerned about the things in the room, such as those things on the left that looked like torture instruments.

So Qin Wei's focus is on the door facing the stairs in the room.

The door was closed, unlocked, and covered with a thick layer of dust.

Look, no one has walked through here for a long time.

Qin Wei walked towards the door and raised the fire lighter in his left hand slightly upwards.

This door is not flat. On the contrary, it is similar to a relief, with patterns that are either protruding or sunken, giving it a very textured feel.

It would have been fine if it was just a gray layer of dust, but there were also spider webs.

Qin Wei stretched out his hand and used the fire from the fire stick to burn all the spider webs, then raised his right hand and casually swept the surface of the door with his sleeve.

"Cough cough."

Dust rose up, Qin Wei couldn't help coughing twice, and simply covered his nose with his arms.

His eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the ash falling in front of him.

Most of the surface of the door was exposed. It was a stone door with carvings on it that looked like dragons playing and flying.

Looking right in the middle of the door, there is a colorful ball with tassels hanging on it.

The dragon's body is almost entirely around the colorful ball, with its claws slightly bent but generally pointing in the direction of the ball.

The dragon head's eyes drooped, and the dragon whiskers around its mouth were slightly bent and pointed upwards.

It seems that this dragon playing with the ball has a naughty personality.

But this is not the point.

Qin Wei touched her chin and frowned. To call it a dragon, she felt that it was a bit too presumptuous.

It's not quite right to say it's a python, because a python has four claws, while a dragon has five claws.

Although there is a lot of dust on this door, the position of the claws can still be clearly seen, and it is clear that there are five claws.

What Qin Wei was more concerned about was the engraving on the lower part of the door.

She squatted down and looked carefully, trying to get something from it.
