Chapter 476 Another Killer Wynter threw all her might into the kick that sent Horace flying. His lower back hit the wall and he slumped to the floor, groaning.
A second ago, he had been holding Oliver hostage. Now, he was coughing blood on the floor.
The comment section fell silent. Dexter was on the verge of tears when he saw this and paused. "Did she just take the suspect down?" The audience was shocked.
"This has got to be the shortest hostage situation I've ever seen," someone commented.

"Yes! See, even the intepolice put up his information!" The intepolice had disclosed Horace's personal information and criminal record after the broadcast couldn't be stopped. At once, comments flooded in.
"Number five has got to be working for the cops!" "She who has done nothing wrong shall fear no evil, right?" "But the intepolice didn't say anything about knowing her. For all we know, she's just a candidate selected at random." "She's wonover completely nonetheless." "Guys, you're missing the point! If Horace isn't the douchebag who killed his twins, then Joshua is the only one who fits the profile!" Before the camera could pan to Joshua, he bolted down the stairs. Joshua barely looked older than 19. Baffled that Joshua, who was so young, could be a father of three children, Dexter glanced at the intern in askance.
The intern sheepishly adjusted his glasses. "He provided false information, apparently. If anyone guessed his identity correctly, they would get a hidden score at best." "He was chosen by you too?" Dexter thought he was going to go mad.
The intern should have verified the candidates' personal information. How could he make such a mess of selecting candidates for the show? If there were anyone who would not be affected by the Earthbound Formation, it would be the person who killed the maker of that formation.
Joshua hurtled down the stairs, his face awash with panic. He had been quiet since getting here, almost like none of this had anything to do with him.
In truth, he didn't think the haunting upstairs had anything to do with him either until Wynter and the NPC Chapter 476 Another Killer brought up the twins' story. That was when Joshua felt his palms getting sweaty.
He wondered if the production crew had dug up his past before inviting him to be a guest on the show. That would explain the high pay he was offered for each episode. The crew had been setting him up for a big reveal.
Joshua could only think of one solution-lying through his teeth. He would not confess to his crimes no matter what.
Losing his moral compass had made pretending a lot easier. There was nothing he wouldn't do to save himself.

He hadn't forgotten what the fortune teller told him-lost souls feared om those who killed them the most. As such, Joshua had nothing to be afraid of. The twins wouldn't cnear him. Just as Joshua was about to reach the landing, he bumped into someone walking up the stairs.
Startled, Joshua quickly grabbed the person's arm, saying, "Turn around, pal. You don't want to go up there where the serial killer is! It's dangerous!" The robed apprentice behind the person was convinced. "Where's the serial killer?" "Upstairs, with the others!" Joshua answered, continuing to put on an act upon seeing that the person had cwith reinforcement.
"Didn't you guys notice that your phone reception was cut off when you entered this building? This is a - strange place, and the killer has taken a hostage at knifepoint!" The person whom Joshua was grabbing onto coughed lightly. He asked quietly in a husky voice," "Sir, would you mind letting go of me?" Despite the person's polite tone, Joshua registered the withering look in the former's eyes. The gaze was so intimidating that Joshua let him go.
