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

Chapter 612 He and I, childhood sweethearts

There is a rumor in folk tales that when you smear the blood of a dead person on your neck, it means that your soul is split into two halves.

That is, although your body is still alive, your soul is gone.

This is a method of confusing ghosts and can help the living escape from the persecution of ghosts for a short time.

But this method is only effective within twelve hours after you smear the blood.

In fact, when Gu Chaoxi was wiping the blood, he was not very sure whether this method would work.

However, when she went upstairs and saw the woman hanging on the beam, she was sure that this method must work.

Because of the way of death.

The dead person's blood smeared on the neck looked like a person had been cut on the neck, or like the mark left by something strangling the neck, which was exactly the way the woman died.

"You!" When the woman saw that she couldn't hurt Gu Chaoxi, she got so angry that her clothes and hair flew up.

She blinked, raised her hand and grabbed the red wedding dress: "Hey, do you want to tell me your story?"

Anyway, I can't get out of this illusion for a while, so I might as well listen to someone tell a story.

This totally unconventional approach made the woman in front of him lose her temper immediately, and she looked at Gu Chaoxi with clear eyes.

She turned her head away, not really wanting to look the woman in the eye.

The eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets, and it looked a bit physically uncomfortable.

In order to prevent myself from doing something disgusting, it is better not to look at her.

"Are you Ji Ze's fourth concubine?"

Gu Chaoxi asked the question first. The woman seemed to be lost in long thought and stood there without answering.

The blood on her fingertips dripped down, splashing small blood flowers on the ground.

"Yes, I am. He and I are childhood sweethearts."

Childhood sweetheart? Oh, this is the first time I've heard of it.

Gu Chaoxi nodded, leaned against the wall with interest, blinked, and patted the seat beside him: "Sit down and talk, it's stressful for me if you stand."

The woman was stunned for a while, but finally listened to her and sat down next to her.

As soon as he sat down, the blood on his hands stained the bed sheets.

"Eh." Gu Zhaoxi moved to the side, afraid that the blood would rub against him, and glanced at him with some disdain: "Can you control yourself?"

"I'm sorry." The woman lowered her head and put her hands in front of her.

Then she slowly began to tell her story.

She and Ji Ze were indeed childhood sweethearts, but they were not together at the beginning.

Ji Ze joined the army very early, and it took him a long time to rise from a small captain to a general.

Originally, the woman's father did not agree with the woman being with Ji Ze, thinking that Ji Ze was too poor and not worthy of her.

It was not until much later, when Ji Ze became a general, that the woman's father wanted to curry favor with him again.

At that time, Ji Ze already had a principal wife and a second concubine.

Although the woman had feelings for Ji Ze, she did not want to share them with others, nor did she want to become a tool for her father to get close to Ji Ze, so she chose to leave the city.

Later I heard that in order to curry favor with Ji Ze, my father randomly found someone to replace himself, but was harshly rejected by Ji Ze.

She was struggling to make a living outside and was having a very hard time.

How could a girl who had been a rich girl since childhood bear to sleep in a small single bed with others in a cramped corridor?

Those were the two most miserable years of the woman's life, until Ji Ze found her and offered to take her home.

At that time, the woman realized that she was not her father's biological child, so her father could no longer rely on her to get close to Ji Ze.

Although she was happy that she would not become a tool, Ji Ze already had a third concubine at that time, and the third concubine had given birth to a child for him.

She felt jealous and resentful, but she couldn't say anything.

Life was indeed good after she married Ji Ze. Ji Ze was very good to her. Perhaps it was because of their friendship since childhood. Ji Ze gave her whatever she wanted and never made her unhappy.

This favor seemed to be unique in this house, and it made her happy.

But there is a saying that goes, the friendship of young people will eventually reach the point where they are tired of each other.

Perhaps Ji Ze gave her too much love, so she began to control Ji Ze and even felt that he should go in the direction she arranged.

Although Ji Ze indulged her, it did not mean that he could always tolerate a woman telling him what to do, and she was just a concubine.

His first wife was a very nice woman who could keep the house in order and handle all matters very well.

Even when meeting outsiders, the eldest lady was very polite and gave Ji Ze every bit of face.

Later, the woman heard that the eldest lady was originally the daughter of a noble family, and when she married Ji Ze, it was considered a marriage of low status, so the friendship between Ji Ze and her was extraordinary.

As for when the woman began to be neglected, it was probably on that snowy day when she pestered Ji Ze to take her to the riverside to watch the fireworks.

At that time, Ji Ze had been in a high position for a long time. It was just a fireworks display. He only needed to give a simple order to be in the best viewing position.

But Ji Ze refused.

Once the former friendship is gone and faced with the cold feelings, anyone would want to go crazy.

So the woman smashed things in her yard like crazy, hoping to get an apology and favor from Ji Ze, but it was all in vain.

Not only did he not see anything, he even ordered the servants who took care of her not to accompany her in making trouble. If she still did not know how to restrain herself, she would be locked up in the bell tower to reflect on her behavior.

The woman had seen what a bell tower looked like, and she knew that sometimes people would be locked up here if they made a mistake.

In the past, servants who made mistakes were imprisoned here, and the concubine would be imprisoned here as well.

She had to admit that she was a little panicked at that time, but she wanted to take a gamble more, betting that Ji Ze would not treat her like this.

Sometimes, people just shouldn't bet on anything casually.

Because when you want to gamble on the victory or failure of love, you have actually already lost.

Not surprisingly, Ji Ze really locked her up in the bell tower and even told the servants that, apart from feeding her three meals a day, they were not allowed to listen to her words or go out.

Wait until she realizes her mistake and knows where she went wrong.

The woman only stayed in the bell tower for a week before she could no longer bear the oppression inside.

It’s too small here, I can’t stretch my arms and legs, and I can’t see much sunlight.

She soon became depressed and realized that Ji Ze was never joking with her and he was really cruel.

So she told the servants to call Ji Ze over and said that she knew she was wrong and reflected on it.

So that day, Ji Ze came to the bell tower and saw her lying on the bed, looking a little thin.
