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

Chapter 205 Aesop Leaving the Warehouse

There seemed to be footsteps behind me, the sound was not loud and was deliberately suppressed.

If Gu Chaoxi's hearing wasn't exceptional, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.

She tilted her head slightly, but before she could turn it completely around, a hand rested on the back of the chair.

"Don't look back."

The sound came almost next to her ear.

The hair beside his ear moved, and the figure immediately hid.

"Mr. Aesop."

She heard it.

Her chair and Pei Yan's chair were originally very close to each other. After Pei Yan shrank on his chair just now, half of Gu Chaoxi's body was leaning to that side.

Now, Aesop squatted directly behind the two chairs and was well hidden.

Aesop was not panicked even though he was recognized.

He looked through the gap to see what was happening on Wilfors's side, then leaned on the back of his chair and asked Gu Chaoxi.

"Ms. Ashley, have you seen Ellie?"

His eyebrows raised, and it seemed that he was now openly acknowledging Yi Li's identity.

"Don't worry, Ellie is in my room."

"Thank you."

Aesop nodded and simply squatted on the ground.

"What are they going to do?"

"Set off fireworks." After a pause, he added: "That's what Vegilette told me."

In fact, Gu Chaoxi had no idea what was being said over there.

Obviously, at this distance, it's not hard to hear.

Aesop's gaze wandered for a while, then retracted.

"Ms. Aisley, Isa, where is she now?"

Maybe you want to ask where Isa is now?

Gu Chaoxi leaned towards Pei Yan and supported his head with his hand.

"Isa was locked in the room, the door was locked and couldn't be opened from the inside."

"Do you know what Wilfors wants to do?"

She stroked her chin and watched with interest.

Aesop seemed to not understand what she meant and did not respond for a while.

After a while, his voice rang out again: "Ms. Aisley, I don't quite understand."

Gu Chaoxi chuckled and lowered his eyes.

There was so much gunpowder in the compartments of the warehouse, and Wilfors still dared to put the water ghost in the warehouse.

This also explains that he has always been very confident about that compartment, or in other words, he is sure that no one will find him.

But how long had Aesop been left in the warehouse as a water ghost for him to discover gunpowder by chance?

What's more, according to him, it was Ellie who opened the door accidentally.

There are indeed some doubts on this point.

However, after discovering gunpowder, his emotions and behavior were different from those of ordinary people.

That amount of gunpowder was enough to sink this huge cruise ship, but he just turned a blind eye.

If they had used this point to threaten Melton, perhaps the two lovers could have finally gotten married.

What's worse, if he went to find Wilfors, he might be able to get out of his current predicament.

But none of that happened, and he even enjoyed staying in that warehouse.

Gu Chaoxi once thought that maybe Aesop had never thought about leaving the cruise ship alive.

His hesitation was simply because Isa was on the cruise ship.

"Mr. Aesop, do you really not know anyone in the Wilfors family?"

"Ms. Aisley, if I knew him, I might not be in this situation now."

Aesop smiled, his shadow hidden in the darkness.

Gu Chaoxi didn't say anything else, just rubbed his wrist gently.

Vegillette had finished speaking and walked towards Gu Chaoxi.

She turned her head to glance at Pei Yan. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were closed. It seemed that he would not be able to recover for a while.

There were light footsteps behind him, probably because they were afraid of being discovered by Vegillette.

Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and stroked his ear, with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Room 209, Miss Isa."

Vegillette was getting closer and closer. She heard a faint "thank you" from behind her. She pursed her lips and looked up at the person in front of her.

"Ms. Aisley, what happened to Mr. Ellor?"

"He's feeling a little unwell."

She turned her head to look at Pei Yan, who was still leaning in the same position as before.

Vegillette sighed, but soon turned his attention to Wilfors.

"Miss Aisley, maybe we can see the most beautiful fireworks tonight. I heard that Mr. Wilfors spent a lot of money on them."

"That's great." She complimented with a smile, raising her hand to press on Pei Yan's wrist.

His wrist felt a little cold, and he didn't know if it was due to the headache.

After a while, he suddenly saw someone walking towards him. Gu Chaoxi looked up and saw Wilfors.

Following behind him was Melton.

Gu Chaoxi subconsciously tightened his grip on Pei Yan's hand and frowned slightly.

Could it be that these two people are here to look for her?

"Mr. Begillette, this is Miss Aisley, right?"

"Yes."

He really came to find her.

"Mr. Wilfors, I have long heard of your name."

She sat there without moving, just looking up, bowing slightly and nodding towards him politely.

Wilfors raised his hand and waved, his eyes briefly passed over Pei Yan's pale face, and he didn't care much.

"I heard that Miss Ashley and Miss Belle have a good relationship. I saw her for the first time today. She is even more beautiful than the rumors said."

"Thank you, Mr. Wilfors."

This rumor?

So there are rumors about Ashley? I haven't heard of it before.

Her eyes passed over Melton without leaving a trace. She saw that he lowered his head and closed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"Who is this?"

Judging from her identity, she didn't seem to know Melton, otherwise Isa wouldn't have reacted that way.

Sure enough, after hearing her question, Wilfors turned his head to look at Melton who was slightly absent-minded.

"This is Mr. Melton, a close friend of mine."

"I think I've heard of it." She smiled and suddenly curled her lips: "The said talented Miss Isa, is she Mr. Melton's sister?"

"Yes." Hearing the name, Melton finally looked up at Gu Chaoxi.

The bet was right.

As for where she heard this "rumor", Melton probably didn't care too much.

However, when Gu Chaoxi mentioned this name, it was enough to make him suddenly think of this person.

Is Isa, who was locked in the room, okay now?

"But Miss Isa, don't you want to come and see these fireworks?"

She tilted her head and looked at Melton innocently, then raised her hand and gently patted Pei Yan's arm.

"I was thinking that when Elrod gets better, I'd like him to meet Miss Isa."

After all, Aisley's family is a good choice among the nobles.

Moreover, Airol should have quite a few suitors. Looking at Alice, she could probably guess it.

As expected, Melton's gaze lingered on Pei Yan for a while, and he slowly smiled.

"Isa went to bed early today. Maybe there will be a chance for her to meet Mr. Ellor tomorrow."

"That would be great, thank you, Mr. Melton."
