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

Chapter 219 End all this

As more and more poor people participated in this game, the Wilfors family seemed to have discovered a different kind of fun in it.

He found that if poor people died at sea, their families would just cry loudly if they were given money.

They believe that their loved ones lost their lives simply because of the dangers in the sea, and they would never think whether their loved ones were killed by someone.

So, even if a poor person died at sea, everything could be settled by paying money.

This led Wilfors to create a new game where the poor would be hunted down if they left their specific area at night.

They see this as a game to unleash their nature, playing with other people's lives at their fingertips.

None of the poor people's families knew the truth.

So, is this why the ghost on the first night was waiting for people to come out?

Because they want to make the rich pay the same price in the same way.

Thinking about it this way, it’s a good thing that Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan arrived in time, otherwise, Zhou Youyou would be the first one to be operated on.

Until Aesop stepped onto the ship.

At first, Aesop, like everyone else, knew nothing about the truth.

Perhaps it was because of his curiosity about the cruise ship that when he happened to sneak into the wealthy area that night, he learned everything from other people's gossip.

Those who do not leave their own area will be treated as water ghosts and thrown into the sea to salvage treasure after reaching the sea.

And among them, more than half of the people will be lost.

Those who survived in the end were the ones who had no idea that their companions had died and who thought they were just lucky.

Will Wilfors let them go?

Not will.

On his next voyage, he would sincerely invite these people to board the ship and come for a cruise as the winners of the last voyage.

This time, they became the hunted.

"If Aesop had not secretly left on the bamboo raft, he might have died during that trip to the sea."

When Campbell said this, Gu Chaoxi looked up.

Ellie was holding his arm, with a look of sadness on her face.

"Then why did he come back here?"

I've already escaped once, there's no need to come back.

"Because we want this to end."

The game used to be played by the previous head of the Wilfors family, and until the current Wilfors took over, he was even more paranoid.

His experiences from childhood to adulthood have made him no longer like a normal person, and his extremely paranoid heart makes him extremely destructive.

He is not obsessed with playing tricks that control people's lives, but wants everyone to be buried with him.

This is absolutely impossible.

When Aesop knew all this, he thought about living alone, but he really couldn't bear to let these poor people die in such an unclear way.

So, he still insisted on getting on the boat.

"The gunpowder?"

"That was put on the boat by Wilfors himself."

Campbell looked up, mocking in his eyes.

Perhaps he was too careless, always thinking that poor people like them at the bottom of society would not grope around on a cruise ship.

What's more, Aesop was looking for those things from the beginning.

"Wasn't Aesop brought up here by Melton?"

"That was just a legitimate reason for Aesop to stay in the warehouse for a long time."

"So, Melton knows too?"

"Yes." Campbell nodded.

It was unknown when Pei Yan's hand loosened. At this moment, he was leaning weakly on a wooden box behind Gu Chaoxi.

Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, not knowing whether he should smile or not.

All this seems like a huge joke.

"As a noble, does Melton have the same idea as Aesop?"

She sighed and thought about Isa again.

Does Issa know the truth?

What’s the point of finding time for them to meet?

As if aware of Gu Chaoxi's doubts, Campbell continued speaking.

In fact, Isa didn't know at first, so Aesop wrote everything in his notebook.

"I?"

She was the one who gave that notebook to Isa. Before that, she had roughly flipped through it, but didn't find anything?

"So you guys are going to act it out so no one else needs to know and just wait for you to figure it out?"

Campbell pursed his lips and nodded.

Perhaps for people who are not aware of this, it is indeed difficult to accept it at first.

But their original intention was also for the good of others.

"Since you are so righteous, why don't you save Helena and Brief?"

After Gu Chaoxi finished speaking, Campbell shook his head.

"That's not the case. They are not good people."

Most of Wilfors's pain came from them.

As a child, Wilfors did not receive love from his father. On the contrary, his father was extremely strict, even to the point of being perverted.

If he was not careful, Wilfors would be punished to stand in the manor for a whole day.

Whether it was windy, rainy, or snowing that day, he had to stand in the manor.

And his nominal mother never cared about him because she didn't like him.

Every time Wilfors finished his punishment, she would only tell Wilfors to study harder and learn what his father asked him to do.

In their eyes, he was just an emotionless machine.

For all this, Wilfors always suppressed himself.

Until he discovered that his father was particularly friendly and doting on the servant's son named Brief.

Many times, he saw his father bringing Brief with him, talking and laughing.

He was very jealous, so he went to cause trouble for Brief, but all he got in return was even more severe punishment from his father, even making him kneel in the manor.

But he realized that his father didn't want Brief's mother to know about this.

So later, when Brief was with his father again, he went to look for Helena.

Helena was frightened when she knew that Brief was being taken away by Wilfors, and she went to find Brief immediately.

Because of this, Helena and Wilfors's father often quarreled.

But at that time, Wilfors was still naive and did not realize why his father did not send away a servant who had quarreled with him.

Finally one day, he learned the truth during their quarrel.

From that time on, Wilfors no longer interfered in their affairs.

He allowed them to develop freely and worked harder himself.

"Was he also responsible for the death of the Patriarch?"

"Yes."

Even the nominal mother died because of Wilfors.

The reason why Wilfors had to let Helena and Brief get on the boat before dying was just because of the game they had played before and to please Helena.

If Helena didn't get on board and pretended that she knew nothing, perhaps Wilfors would really let her go this time.

But she was greedy and immoral, so her death was not a pity.

When Campbell said this, his eyes were red.

Gu Chaoxi turned his head to look at Pei Yan who was lowering his head, and was speechless for a moment.
