Chapter 408
?
ver wanted to expose Melody, but time and again, she tried to sabotage me...
"Without your little tricks, let''s see how you''re gonna get out of this one." I grabbed a handful of Melody''s hair, my voice low and threatening. "You lured us here on purpose, thinking of killing me? You can try... but if you as much as think about hurting Colin, I swear, I''ll end you..."
A flicker of fear and surprise passed through Melody''s eyes as she stuttered, "You..."
Then she denied her intentions. "Impossible, you can''t be Phoebe, Phoebe is dead..."
"I didn''t lure you here, it was Annora..." Melody tried to exin, but got cut off.
"Phoebe!"
Behind me, Colin had caught up.
I let go of Melody, stood up, and turned around, shing him a reassuring smile.
Colin rushed over, pulling me into a tight embrace. "Thank god you''re okay, thank god..."
“What happened over there?" I asked.
"There''s a trap on the ground. Someone fell through, broke his leg." Colin whispered back.
I nodded. "Colin, does this amusement park look familiar to you?"
Colin took a deep breath. "Yeah... it''s a replica of the one from the old orphanage."Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.
"What''s the killer''s motive?" I wondered aloud.
"Revenge..." Colin''s gaze darkened as he nced at Melody. "Back then, at the orphanage, Dn was bullied... pushed off a moving roller coaster. His legs got caught in the tracks, snapped right off."
The kid was left without his legs, sent to a school for the disabled, and then disappeared without a trace.
Melody averted her gaze, guilt shing across her face. "The ones bullying Dn were James and his crew."
"Ding ding, the roller coaster is arriving! Everyone, buckle up, we''re about to start, 3, 2.....”
That eerie voice echoed again.
Instinctively, Colin pulled me closer, stepping onto the carousel''s tform.
As the countdown ended, the floor tiles began to shift.
Sitting on the ground, Melody was lucky enough to lift her legs just in time.
Underneath the tiles, saw des whirred menacingly...
A fall would mean instant amputation.
"Ah!"
Another scream echoed.
Colin and I rushed over, only to see a former orphanage resident with one leg caught in the trap.
“Everyone, find a safe spot, get on the carousel seats!" Robin yelled in panic, urging people to secure themselves.
The injured were dragged to a rtively safer area.
But with the blood loss and no proper medical facilities, making it to the ground floor would mean certain death for them. "Hahaha..." Laughter spilled from the speakers. "What fun."
Robin, barely in control, yelled into the void.
l
ying Show yourself, stop ! Even if they desert
games!
it, it''s not for you to decide! They''ll face their punishment!"
"So naive." The creepy voice mocked Robin. "Officer Robin, tell me, how will you punish them? Just because Dn took the front seat of the roller coaster, they secretly unbuckled his safety belt and pushed him off mid-ride."
"It''s murder, Officer Robin, how will you punish them?"
The voice screamed hysterically.
Listening to Colin''s heartbeat, an inexplicable pain gripped my chest.
These demons had gathered, and people like Colin and Carter, who didn''t fit in with them, must have lived through a nightmare.
Colin looked down, our eyes meeting, his gaze flickering, whispering, "Phoebe... they''re not innocent."
"Let''s y a game of hide and seek
Thirty seconds countdown, everyone hide , or else... you''ll die!" Th
creepy voice continued, starting the countdown.
He wanted us all to hide.
Colin, gripping my wrist, hid us both in a gap beneath the carousel.
“10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1. Ready or not, here Ie...”
Not far away, a stone wall slid open, and ten figures emerged, wearing bizarre masks and wielding chainsaws, their arms muscr, clearly hired assassins.
“Are you hidden? Hope I don''t find you.....”
