"There is an old lady in the basement. According to Bai Jingjing's description, the old lady may have killed Jiang Xiaoge."

Chen Mu silently speculated in his heart that the "basement is very dangerous" in his mother's rule should refer to the old lady.

After explaining the whole story, Bai Jingjing slowly regained his composure.

After she looked through the peephole and saw that there was no one outside the door, she prepared to leave.

After all, this is Chen Mu's room, and staying here all the time is not a good idea.

Bai Jingjing said, "Chen Mu, thank you for helping me. It's getting late. I'll go to Pengjun's room first and tell him about the situation in the basement."

Chen Mu nodded and did not stop him.

He knew very well that Bai Jingjing, Jiang Xiaoge and Peng Jun were actually in the same team.

Now that Jiang Xiaoge is dead, Bai Jingjing will definitely look for his teammates, that is, Peng Jun, to discuss the next countermeasures.

Chen Mu saw through it but didn't say anything. He opened the door and let Bai Jingjing leave.

Fortunately, the old lady in the basement did not catch up. My parents did not come out either, so the corridor was safe for the time being.

Bai Jingjing quickly ran to Pengjun's door and shouted twice inside. Pengjun opened the door and Bai Jingjing quickly hid inside.

After closing the door, Peng Jun asked:

"Jingjing, what's going on? Where's Xiaoge? Where's my brother?"

The younger brother that Pengjun mentioned is Jiang Xiaoge. Jiang Xiaoge was originally called Peng Xiaoge, and he is Pengjun's younger brother. Bai Jingjing is Peng Xiaoge's girlfriend.

After the three of them entered the Guimen, Peng Xiaoge changed his name to Jiang Xiaoge and pretended not to know Peng Jun.

Their real purpose was just as Chen Mu guessed - to keep a backup plan.

Now that Jiang Xiaoge hasn't come back, Pengjun is naturally very anxious.

Bai Jingjing repeated to Peng Jun what she had just said to Chen Mu.

After listening to this, Pengjun frowned deeply and couldn't help but sigh.

"Xiao Ge was still careless, but it's better to leave. If you leave, you won't have to suffer in the Guimen."

Pengjun said these words to comfort himself, and his expression was a little sad.

After all, he was his own brother. He was fine when we had dinner together, but now he is gone. No matter how you look at it, it is still a pity.

But soon, Pengjun adjusted his state.

Everyone had already prepared themselves when they entered Guimen.

"Jingjing, it's late at night, you shouldn't go back alone. We are both alone, so we can sleep together to take care of each other.

Everyone has their own destiny. Xiaoge is dead, but we both have to work hard to live on."

Pengjun comforted her a few times, and Bai Jingjing nodded with tears in her eyes. Her weak look made people feel a little pitiful.

Seeing Pengjun's somewhat lonely back, Bai Jingjing sighed secretly.

Just as Chen Mu saw through, Bai Jingjing did conceal part of the truth.

When Chen Mu let her in, she hid in the corner and trembled, but it actually took her only ten seconds to adjust herself.

In the next few dozen seconds, she was not trying to overcome her fear, but her brain was working rapidly, weaving lies!

She lied about the first half!

In fact, Jiang Xiaoge was not very courageous. When she reached the first floor and looked at the dark room, Jiang Xiaoge was already a little hesitant.

He said to Bai Jingjing:

"Jingjing, why don't we stay in the living room for a while and then go upstairs. Just tell them that we've gone to the basement."

This is the safest suggestion, but Bai Jingjing is not satisfied with it.

The fact that she has Jiang Xiaoge means that if she operates properly, she can use Jiang Xiaoge's life to detect a key clue.

Although it sounds cold-blooded to say this, anyone who has entered the Guimen is a desperado.

Your own life is a gamble, let alone other people’s lives, which are an even more profitable gamble.

Bai Jingjing has entered the strange door twice, and she has already become aware of this.

Jiang Xiaoge had only entered this time, and he had not yet realized the cruelty inside the strange door - the cruelty of friendship, family affection, and love, which were all not fully trustworthy.

Of course, Bai Jingjing didn't want to kill Jiang Xiaoge.

She just wanted Jiang Xiaoge to take the risk for her and search for relevant information.

After all, they are boyfriend and girlfriend, and Bai Jingjing will not give up Jiang Xiaoge unless there is real danger.

So with this mentality, Bai Jingjing encouraged Jiang Xiaoge, and the two of them went to the basement together to see the situation.

According to Bai Jingjing, "The rules in Guimen are sometimes wrong, so the basement is not that scary. Based on my experience, Mom is just trying to scare us."

Jiang Xiaoge chose to believe Bai Jingjing, and the two of them walked down the stairs to the basement, one in front and one behind.

As we were about to reach the basement, it was pitch black and cold all around, with an uneasy feeling in the air.

Jiang Xiaoge was a little scared. He really wanted to retreat and run back to the first floor.

But now that it has come to this, how could Bai Jingjing give up?

The two got into an argument.

Bai Jingjing walked behind. She stood on two steps higher, a little taller than Jiang Xiaoge.

During the argument, Bai Jingjing wanted to act coquettishly and pushed Jiang Xiaoge to continue moving forward.

She didn't control the strength of the push well, and the steps were a bit slippery, so she pushed Jiang Xiaoge down the steps and rolled into the basement.

What happened next was what Bai Jingjing said.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaoge’s death is closely related to Bai Jingjing.

In order to avoid being blamed by other teammates and to avoid being excluded, Bai Jingjing made up a lie, saying that Jiang Xiaoge was walking in front to show off, and then accidentally slipped and rolled down.

Bai Jingjing completely denied all his responsibilities.

Chen Mu saw through it, but he didn't say it out loud.

As for Peng Jun, he did not have as sharp a vision as Chen Mu, and did not see through Bai Jingjing's lies.

But this is not important. The other players don’t care who killed whom.

The dead cannot speak, and no one wants to speak for the dead.

Jiang Xiaoge's death proved that there was indeed something dangerous in the basement.

With Jiang Xiaoge’s previous experience as a lesson, none of the remaining players dared to go to the basement on their own initiative.

Even Chen Mu doesn't have the courage to do this.

Although he had life-saving props, who knew how strong the old lady in the basement was? Or whether there were other dangers.

In Pengjun's room, after he settled Bai Jingjing down, he put on his shoes and looked ready to go out.

"Brother Jun, what are you doing?"

Bai Jingjing had just done something wrong, and when she saw Peng Jun was about to go out, she asked in a panic.

Pengjun smiled at her, “Both of your teams are gone, and I’m going to the master bedroom too.

Remember what I said, I'll go to the master bedroom at 3 a.m.?"

Bai Jingjing said worriedly, "Go to the master bedroom? Isn't it too dangerous? If mom finds out, she might kill you."

Bai Jingjing's worry was not fake.

Again, Bai Jingjing didn't want to kill Peng Jun, she just liked to use others to explore the way at critical moments.

If Peng Jun died, Bai Jingjing would really be left without a teammate.

Peng Jun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm going to do something big tonight. If everything goes well, we can escape tonight."
