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

Chapter 187 Sailing Story

She hurried down the stairs over there, half blocking her view, and only then did she feel better.

Pei Yan followed, feeling a little worried.

"Chaoxi, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's okay." He forced a smile and shook his head. As the ship swayed violently, Gu Chaoxi raised his hand to hold on to the wall.

Pei Yan immediately held her other arm, a little afraid that she would fall.

"I just feel a little breathless. Maybe I have a fear of the sea."

She looked at Pei Yan with a smile. Under the slightly dim light, Pei Yan's silver hair was still eye-catching.

"Let me help you."

Without refusing, Gu Chaoxi leaned half of his body on Pei Yan's arm.

She was indeed a little scared, and her expression became unnatural.

Qin Wei's original intention to joke disappeared in an instant, and he just gently stroked her back.

"Little cutie, don't force yourself. Have a good rest at night and don't use your brain too much."

If this guy thinks too much again, I'm really afraid her brain will be overloaded.

When the five people reached the third floor below ground, they saw two confused people in the corridor.

It’s Zhou Youyou and Shen Lan.

The two men were standing in the middle of the corridor, leaning against the wall, and no one knew what they were talking about.

Seeing these people coming from the end of the corridor, Zhou Youyou shut up instantly.

As they approached, they saw the embarrassment on Shen Lan's face.

Gu Chaoxi was too lazy to care. With the help of Pei Yan, he took out the key and prepared to open his door.

"Hey, how do you have a room?"

Her question was impolite, but Gu Chaoxi didn't bother to answer.

Qin Wei glanced over and said unhappily: "Shut up!"

Watching Pei Yan help Gu Chaoxi into the room, Qin Wei turned around and faced Zhou Youyou.

He looked him up and down and spoke bluntly.

"Oh, Miss Zhou, you still don't know where your room is after all this time? It seems like you are really brainless."

After saying that, her gaze shifted to Shen Lan.

The other party opened his mouth and murmured, but didn't say anything.

Qin Wei is not an unreasonable person, and Shen Lan has not done anything unpleasant, so she would not scold Shen Lan as well.

"Look for keys on you. Everyone has their own room key."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Zhou Youyou again.

"Of course, it's possible that some people are stupid enough to throw away their keys as if they were trash, and then they can only sleep in the hallway and wait for death."

This sentence was just to scare Zhou Youyou, but late at night, Qin Wei found that this sentence came true.

After she returned to her room, she no longer cared about the lives of Zhou Youyou and Shen Lan.

Everyone went back to their rooms.

However, Pei Yan asked Zhao Boyi for his book.

He wanted to see if there were any useful clues in the book.

Until late at night, footsteps were heard in the corridor.

Estimating the time, it is probably twelve o'clock in the evening, which is exactly early morning.

Pei Yan didn't sleep. He finished reading the book roughly.

If there is any clue, this should be it.

That book was a sailing story written by a minor writer at the time.

It tells the story that in the Middle Ages, countries along the coast were obsessed with sea adventures, and the town where the protagonist lived was famous for shipbuilding.

With the support of a wealthy man, this small town built the largest ship ever built.

So, when the rich man went out to sea, he invited everyone in the town to join him.

They traveled very far on the cruise ship until it arrived at an unknown island, and then the rich man stopped the cruise ship.

He took the people of the town to the island and started an adventure.

This expedition actually allowed them to discover some gold and silver treasures.

These gold, silver and treasures seemed to have been looted by pirates and hidden in the cave on this small island.

So the rich man proposed to divide the treasures and take them back to the town, but the protagonist thought that he might be retaliated by the pirates.

The rich people thought that with so many people on their cruise ship, couldn’t they deal with the pirates?

What's more, they haven't encountered any pirates yet, so they can definitely return safely.

Under the insistence of the rich man, the treasures were finally divided up, and the people of the town happily returned to the cruise ship.

Everyone unanimously decided to rest for a night before sailing back.

However, something unexpected happened at night. That night, the pirates who returned to the island found that their treasure had disappeared.

And the cruise ship moored at the shore was so huge that it was impossible to ignore it.

The pirates boarded the cruise ship and found their lost treasure.

In order to vent his anger, the pirates killed all the people in the town, including the rich people, while everyone was sleeping.

But the protagonist escaped the disaster because he got up at night to look for coconuts on the island.

By the time the protagonist wanted to go back to the cruise ship, the pirates had already driven away.

He had no way to go home and could only stay on the island temporarily.

Fortunately, a small boat left behind by the pirates was still there, so the protagonist found some things on the island and drove back in the boat.

But the changeable weather caused his ship to change direction and he sailed to another country.

The country here did not allow the protagonist, an outsider, to go up, so he had to exchange the little money he had left for food and then continue his voyage.

The journey lasted for a long time, and when he returned to his town again, three years had passed.

A lot happened in these three years. The pirates settled down in the town and started business at sea.

The protagonist quietly returned to the town to explore, only to find that everything was no longer the same as it was before, and this place could no longer be considered his home.

So he sold all the things he brought back from other countries, bought a new boat, prepared enough food, and started his sailing journey again.

The whole story is actually quite plain, and it also describes some plots about the protagonist learning a skill in another country.

Like a slow healing story, he has no way of killing people for revenge, and he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately like others.

In the end, after he found that his home was completely gone, he chose to wander for the rest of his life.

Pei Yan closed the book. Apart from mentioning an unknown island with treasure, it seemed that nothing else in the book had anything to do with Chris Weimer.

He rubbed his eyelids and felt a little tired.

However, the footsteps in the corridor outside the door caught his attention, and Pei Yan, who had already lay down, sat up again.

The light above his head swayed due to the swaying of the ship, making his shadow longer and shorter on the wall.

In the corridor, the sound of footsteps was particularly regular.

Pei Yan stood up and moved closer to the door.

He had no way of seeing what was happening outside and could only rely on listening.

Apart from the sound of footsteps, there was almost no other sound.

His hand fell on the door handle, thinking about whether to open the door, and at the same time wondering if Gu Chaoxi had also heard the sound.
