Chapter 218 Listen to the story
After dinner, Gu Chaoxi went to get some food and prepared to go to the warehouse.
Pei Yan followed her, and neither of them spoke for a while.
An eerie silence filled the space between the two of them, leaving only the sound of footsteps.
Turning the corner, Gu Chaoxi saw Yi Li playing with Campbell. She had no fear of danger at all.
"Ms. Ashley."
"Sister Ashley!"
Seeing her and Pei Yan coming, Campbell and Yi Li stopped and greeted her.
She nodded and smiled, then handed the food out, which Campbell took.
He was busy distributing the food to everyone, so he left Yi Li to talk to Gu Chaoxi. She raised her head, but did not see Aesop.
"Ellie, where's your brother?"
"My brother was taken away."
Ellie tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then laughed.
Pei Yan looked towards the innermost part and found that the door was now closed.
If I hadn't been there before, I wouldn't have been able to see the location of the door in such a dim environment.
"Taken away by whom?"
As a water ghost, she was taken away by someone. Isn’t Ellie worried at all?
The little girl in front of him continued to think and smiled at Gu Zhaoxi: "It was Mr. Melton. He took my brother away."
"Do you know what it is about?"
"I don't know, but it doesn't matter, brother will be fine."
She smiled, stood up on tiptoe and touched Gu Chaoxi's shoulder as if to comfort him.
"How do you know my brother is okay?"
Gu Chaoxi was not as relaxed as Yi Li. She now wanted to know what would happen in the evening.
But at this moment, Ellie did not answer her.
Pei Yan patted her arm from behind. She turned around and Pei Yan pointed to a very deep place.
"Let's go take a look."
He felt a little strange. The door seemed to be closed, but it didn't look real.
Gu Chaoxi took a look and quickly understood what he meant.
The two of them stepped forward and walked cautiously inside.
During this period, no one tried to stop them. Even Campbell just took a look and continued to distribute food.
As they got closer, they both paused.
The scene before them made the two of them at a loss for words for a moment.
On the huge wall, there seemed to be something written in blood, but because the blood was flowing downwards, nothing could be seen clearly now.
"Where did so many come from?"
Gu Chaoxi raised his hand, and his fingertips lightly touched the wooden board.
The sticky blood stuck to her fingers. She rubbed it with her fingertips and wiped it off on the hem of her clothes with her backhand.
“It may take a long time to write.”
The fluidity of this blood has decreased and it is now in a semi-dry state.
Gu Chaoxi turned around and looked towards the stairs leading down to the warehouse.
There was no one around, and the middle area of the warehouse was also tacitly left empty by everyone.
Pei Yan found the location of the previous door, and with difficulty pressed his hand on a place without blood, and pushed hard inside.
The door was opened with some effort.
The two men walked in through the open space. The lights inside were on, but now there was nothing inside.
All the original gunpowder has disappeared.
"Morning and evening."
Pei Yan called her name softly.
Gu Chaoxi tilted her head, shook her head, and reached out to gently hold her wrist.
"Let's go. We are just spectators after all."
The plane will not allow them to change the original story. That is the rule of the other world, and they cannot break the rules.
The power of the other world is too strong, and they are just ants.
Turning around, the two of them left the room one after the other.
As the door closed, this warehouse hidden in the deepest part of the warehouse became deserted again like before.
Gu Chaoxi remained silent and let Pei Yan pull him forward.
Until Campbell suddenly came over and blocked their way.
"Ms. Aisley, no matter what Aesop does, please don't stop him, okay?"
She raised her eyes and her body trembled slightly.
The corners of his mouth suddenly curled up into a smile: "If you do this and are discovered by Wilfors, there will be no benefit."
"Of course we know, but we also want to take a gamble."
No one has counted how many people were on the cruise ship, but the only thing they know is that if the cruise ship sank, their town would become a wilderness.
Sighing, Gu Chaoxi nodded.
Campbell did not let them leave just like that. He raised his hand and pointed at those people who were staggering, with a mocking smile on his face.
"Miss Aisley has been living a wealthy life. I'm afraid she doesn't know what they've been through?"
Yi Li didn't know when she ran over and reached out to hold Gu Chaoxi's hand.
Her little face was raised, and her eyes were dark.
"Sister Aisley, shall we tell you a story?"
The night outside was getting darker.
Pei Yan tightened her grip on Gu Chaoxi's hand a little, and she naturally felt the force on her wrist.
But, with a sigh, Gu Chaoxi nodded.
"Okay, I want to hear a story, too."
In fact, the story is very old-fashioned and nothing thrilling.
It was just the development of a small town, which gradually grew larger and even began to create a gap between the rich and the poor.
In the early years, the gap between the rich and the poor in the town was not very obvious, but as outsiders moved in and the town grew larger, it became more and more obvious.
The rich people there would reserve a place for themselves to build beautiful houses, and plant many beautiful flowers in the yard.
The Wilfors family moved here from somewhere else at that time.
When they arrived, they were the richest in town.
As time went on, the villa they built on the edge of town grew larger and larger, and the number of servants they needed also increased.
It is said that the head of the Wilfors family knew a girl who was very talented in shipbuilding, so he often asked her to help design ships.
Thanks to the ship business, the Wilfors family almost accounted for half of the town's wealth.
It was probably at this time that they discovered the treasure in the sea.
However, if they went to mine by themselves, they would always be criticized by others, so they thought of letting the poor people go into the water and the rich people place bets.
This may not have much impact on the rich, but for the poor, the reward is very high.
Therefore, many people began to learn diving in order to be able to dive into the water to retrieve treasures.
But the deep sea is completely different from what people think, and there are many unknown dangers.
Even if the Wilfors family took protective measures for them, sometimes it was of no use.
Many poor people know that they may be able to earn the money but not spend it.
But when I think about my family, I am happy to do it.
In this game, the rich are always the winners.
