The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me Chapter 55

Bao Guangyuan was trapped in the darkness, he could not see and there was silence all around him. He went from shock, to anger and then to fear. When he realised that he could not get out no matter what, his whole being was completely thrown into despair.

He sat alone in the darkness, unaware of how much time had passed, and just when he was about to be driven mad, there was a sudden flash of light ahead of him.

A beam of light shone through the wall and fell on Bao Guangyuan’s face.

Bao Guangyuan’s eyes had already adapted to the darkness, so he felt a pain in both eyes when the light suddenly hit his eyes, and tears flowed out almost by reflex.

He quickly covered his eyes with his hands and he slowly opened them after waiting a few minutes for them to adjust to the light.

He saw a man with a torch standing in front of him.

Without thinking, Bao Guangyuan lunged to grab the torch and subdue the other man.

However, his attempt was in vain. His body passed through the man’s body and landed heavily on the ground.

Bao Guangyuan fell to the ground with a thud, and he turned back in horror. The man was still standing in the same place and he had not even made a single movement.

It turned out to be a projected dummy.

At that moment, the man’s voice, which had been specially treated with a voice changer, rang out.

“The ten most important people in Bao Guangyuan’s life are: grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, brother, sister, cousin, Meng Xinyi.”

The man’s processed voice, neither male nor female, was eerie as it rang out.

Every time he said a name, a figure appeared in front of Bao Guangyuan’s eyes. They were figures of his family and friends respectively!

As the man’s words fell, ten people stood silently in front of Bao Guangyuan, all of them looking at him with smiles on their faces.

Bao Guangyuan grew up in a happy family, he had many relatives, all of whom loved him, and he tried very hard to give back to everyone around him with love.

When it came to filling out this card, Bao Guangyuan’s first thought was to put his family on it.

As there were ten people to fill in, the family members were all filled in, and it so happened that Meng Xinyi was standing beside Bao Guangyuan at that moment, so he added her as well.

Anyway, to him, the eight people in the group were all his friends, so it didn’t matter if he put Meng Xinyi in as she also represented friendship.

On a normal day, Bao Guangyuan would be happy to have so many family members and friends looking at him, but at such a time and place, he only felt dread.

He would rather remain trapped in the darkness alone, than have his family appear. He didn’t want to see them even if he knew they were fake.

The man’s words continued.

“Bao Guangyuan was on a boat with the ten most important people in his life. It was raining and lightning flashed between the clouds. The boat drifting on the water was overloaded, one person had to leave for the remaining ten to survive.”

The man’s voice drifted into Bao Guangyuan’s ears.

“Whom do you choose?”

———-

Bao Guangyuan paused as he narrated this part, and he was silent for a moment.

Ji Mingxia glanced at Yu Ning, and they immediately guessed Bao Guangyuan’s answer.

Between nine family members whom he spent a lot of time with, and a friend whom he chatted with online, the answer was obvious.

Bao Guangyuan did not want to continue, but Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning had not yet heard the truth they wanted to know.

Ji Mingxia then said, “You chose Meng Xinyi?”

Bao Guangyuan nodded, then as if to explain, he suddenly said, “I would have chosen myself, but he told me that I was a player, that I could not choose myself and I had to choose from the ten most important people. If not, I would be stuck there for the rest of my life and would never be able to get out.”

“He said that only after making a choice would I be able to leave that room and move on to the next level!”

Bao Guangyuan added, “Both sets of my grandparents have worked all their lives, and at such an old age, it was hard to expect children and grandchildren so they doted on us; my parents loved me the most since I was a child; my brother was especially good to me. He was the smartest person in the whole family and he even took first place in every exam; my sister and cousin were both just in kindergarten at the time……”

Ji Mingxia slowly said, “You chose Meng Xinyi, so you’ve always felt guilty about it…that is why you teamed up with her after being trapped in the forest and always took care of her?”

“Mm.” Bao Guangyuan said, “I chose her out of ten people, and then, she drowned right in front of me.”

That projection was very realistic, otherwise Bao Guangyuan would not have pounced on the man earlier and caused himself to fall.

The ten projections in front of him were almost no different from having the real people standing in front him.

The whole process of drowning, every detail, was shown in front of Bao Guangyuan.

He watched “Meng Xinyi” die after struggling and failing. Her eyes stared at him before she died and Bao Guangyuan almost collapsed.

At that moment, Bao Guangyuan heard the door open with a creak.

He didn’t dare look at the “dead” Meng Xinyi again. He got up in a hurry and ran to the next room without looking back.

Bao Guangyuan fell silent once again.

Ji Mingxia had to say: “Kill a man, open a door. That place was similar to a secret escape room and since there were ten most important people in your life, there must have been ten doors.”

“You escaped from the first room, but you were still asked to make a choice in the next, right?”

Bao Guangyuan trembled. Just remembering those past events was extremely painful.

Ji Mingxia couldn’t bear to see him like that, but things had come to this point. Compared to those past memories, what was about to happen to them was more important.

They had to know the truth before they could find a way to deal with that monster.

Today was already the seventh day since Bao Guangyuan and his group had entered the forest. According to normal speculation, the monster would definitely appear today and would probably finish Bao Guangyuan and the others.

The sooner Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia knew the truth and the more details they knew, the more certain they would be when dealing with the monster.

Bao Guangyuan also knew that he would have to give a detailed account of everything.

After he had calmed down a little, he lowered his head and continued his story.

Ji Mingxia had guessed right. Bao Guangyuan had escaped from the first door, but not from the residential building.

In the second room, Bao Guangyuan was once again faced with a choice.

“Bao Guangyuan is at home on his lunch break with the nine most important people in his life when a serial killer barged into their home. The serial killer is armed with a chainsaw and is famous for his brutal murders. At the moment, the killer is hiding in a person’s room – whose bed is the killer hiding under? “

“Bao Guangyuan is at the zoo with the eight most important people in his life when the handrail malfunctions and the nine fall into the lions’ den. The hungry king of all animals must eat someone before it is willing to leave; the lion will bite off all the man’s limbs, cut his stomach open, lick the soft insides, bite the head off and suck his brains – who did the lion eat?”

“Bao Guangyuan and the seven most important people..…”

“The six most important people ……”

“Five most important people ……”

Bao Guangyuan’s expression gradually became numb as he spoke.

The cruelest part of that game was that it allowed the player to personally choose to have the most important people in his life to die one by one in front of his eyes.

Each method of death was extremely cruel.

Even though he knew it was all fake, the projection was so realistic that it was more real than a dream, and every detail unfolded before his eyes.

It was as if he had killed his closest relatives with his own hands.

Not to mention Bao Guangyuan, Ji Mingxia was a little scared just listening to it.

He simply dared not imagine what he would do if he were to encounter such a thing.

Bao Guangyuan’s expression became numb, Ji Mingxia’s face was slightly pale, and among these three, only Yu Ning looked as normal ever.

He did not have any important person in his life before he met Ji Mingxia, and after meeting him, Ji Mingxia became the only one.

Ji Mingxia was the one person he would fight to the death to protect.

He would not put himself in such a situation, and Ji Mingxia would definitely not either.

Seeing that Ji Mingxia’s face did not look too good, Yu Ning reached out and touched the back of his hand.

Ji Mingxia froze for a moment when he felt the cold touch of Yu Ning’s fingers, he froze for a moment. He saw Yu Ning looking at him and he thought that the latter was as frightened as he was by the “hide-and-seek game” that Bao Guangyuan had mentioned.

He then took Yu Ning’s hand in his and gave him a reassuring smile.

Yu Ning was stunned for a moment. That smile was like a soft warm stream that flowed into his chest and ironed out the warmth in all of his limbs.

Yu Ning’s interruption made Ji Mingxia’s mood to recover a little.

Finally, Bao Guangyuan’s narration came to its most important stage.

“The killing game suddenly stopped when only five of my family members were left. Someone had finished the ten rooms and the hide-and-seek game was officially launched,” Bao Guangyuan said.

“There would be monsters coming after us in the darkness, and all rooms that had been opened could be used as hiding places, meaning that the more people that died, the more places there are to hide.”

“The game was to last sixty minutes, and if all six players were found within sixty minutes, the players would be judged to have lost.”

Ji Mingxia looked at the intact Bao Guangyuan, and then remembered the people who had had a very smooth life over the past few years.

Ji Mingxia said, “You guys won?”

“No.” Bao Guangyuan shook his head, “We lost. All six of us were found, and it was game over.”

“When we left, the man gave us two blood red rings as a reward.” Bao Guangyuan said.

This was the last choice for that game.

Eight invitations, two blood-red rings.

It was up to them to decide who would get the rings.

Ji Mingxia came to a realization and he felt a chill at the bottom of his heart: “So, you guys handed the rings to Lin Siyun and Li Youzi who had not participated in the game, and were not even aware of it!”

Bao Guangyuan lowered his head in shame.
