Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

Akai Shuichi, who also heard the broadcast, tied up the unconscious intruder with a rope, and looked up at the pink staircase. The first person to appear in front of him was the old butler Mononobe, followed by Mingyue. Ooka Momiji hid behind Mingyue and followed him down the stairs. The last one to walk was the man with a red fox mask.

The man in the red fox mask looked at the living room that had just been cleaned up and was now in a mess again, exhaled a breath of foul air, glanced at the tied-up intruders, and became more wary of the man in front of him wearing a black wolf mask, but on the surface he still said flatteringly: "Mr. Black Wolf, you can fight three alone, you are really amazing."

"Thank you for the compliment. It was purely a coincidence that I was able to subdue them." Akai Shuichi glanced at the three invaders who were still unconscious, his expression gloomy.

"No matter what the process was, I still want to thank Mr. Black Wolf for his help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to protect them by myself." The man with the red fox mask looked at the girls who were snuggling together.

Ooka Hongye tightly grasped Mingyue's shoulders, looked around with a pair of terrified eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "I want to leave this cruise ship now. I don't want to stay here for a moment!"

"Miss, our phone lines have been taken away. Even if we can contact our head family now, I don't think they will be able to get here right away." The old butler Mononobe felt his heart clenched as he looked at the frightened Ooka Momiji.

Ooka Hongye's eyes widened and she looked around vigilantly, "I don't care, I don't want to stay here for a moment!"

"Don't be willful." The man in the red fox mask looked at Akai Shuichi, with the black wolf mask now intact on his face. "I'm sorry, these people should be coming for us, but I didn't expect to get you into trouble."

Akai Shuichi glanced at Mingyue and guessed that Mingyue might have known that this would happen, otherwise she would not have said those words when he was about to leave.

If he had returned to the room alone, he would have been attacked from both sides. Although Akai Shuichi was confident that he could control all the intruders, there was a high possibility that the enemy hiding in the dark would discover the clues.

Suddenly thinking of the restaurant Mingyue mentioned before, Akai Shuichi lay on the door with his ear pressed against the door panel, trying to hear the movement outside the house. However, the sound insulation effect of both the door panel and the wall was too good. Akai Shuichi heard nothing and frowned.

"I'll go out and take a look." Akai Shuichi looked at Mingyue with a warning look, "You stay with them."

Mingyue patted Ooka Hongye's hand, motioning for her to let go, and said softly, "Are you hungry? It's probably impossible to live here any longer in this state. Let's go to the restaurant for a midnight snack."

Ooka Hongye let go of Mingyue's shoulders, but took Mingyue's arm and shook her head gently. She was afraid that if she left the room, she would encounter something even more unfortunate. Whether it was blood or death, these were things she had never experienced before. The instinctive fear swept over Ooka Hongye's body.

The man in the red fox mask looked at Mingyue with a scrutinizing look. His attention had been on the black wolf before, ignoring the girl in the gray rabbit mask. He had previously thought that Miss Hongye just wanted to find a playmate. After all, such things had happened before, and the other party was mostly just playing around because of their status. But now it seems that Miss Gray Rabbit is more suspicious.

Shuichi Akai noticed that the man with the red fox mask noticed Mingyue, and felt a little uneasy.

"If you met a strong opponent in a karuta competition, would you be afraid and back off?" Mingyue looked at Ooka Hongye with a smile, "You just bravely pointed your back at the syringe filled with venom."

Ooka Hongye took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and looked at Mingyue in front of her, "I will become the queen of karuta, so I will not be afraid of any opponent."

Mingyue bent down to pick up the pink rabbit mask on the ground, took out a handkerchief and wiped the dust off it. "So, future queen, are you ready to face new opponents?" Mingyue reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Ooka Hongye's eyes and helped Ooka Hongye put on the mask.

"I admire you more when you were eating maple pudding, with your eyes fixed on the target and the look of determination to win." Mingyue looked at Hongye wearing a pink bunny mask and smiled softly, but what she was thinking in her heart was: It's a little late for this pampered young lady to think about leaving now.

Ooka Hongye clenched her fists, her body still trembling slightly, but she nodded seriously, "No matter what happens, you must concentrate, stay calm and take it seriously."

"Miss!" The old butler Mononobe was a little excited. Just when he was about to say something, a mask was handed to him, strangling the words he was about to say in his throat.

"Put on the mask." The man in the red fox mask stuffed the Dalmatian mask into the arms of Mononobe Butler and looked at Akai Shuichi, "Mr. Kurolang, let's go to the restaurant together. This room can no longer be occupied, and we don't know if another group of people will break in." After saying that, the man in the red fox mask glanced at Mingyue.

Akai Shuichi glanced at Mingyue, not knowing what she was up to, but Mingyue's move had already caught her attention. Akai Shuichi's eyebrows twisted into a knot, reached out to hold the door handle, and reminded: "I'm opening the door."

The man in the red fox mask clenched the playing cards in his hand, looking ready for battle. The old butler with a spotted dog stood in front of the two girls, Ooka Hongye held Mingyue's arm tightly, and Mingyue looked towards the door, seemingly fearless.

Shuichi Akai clenched his left fist and slowly turned the doorknob with his right hand. The door was opened a crack, and a pair of dark green wolf eyes looked outside the door vigilantly.

Ooka Hongye closed her eyes, her hearing was infinitely amplified, and no slight sound escaped her ears. She heard the sound of a door opening, the breathing of people around her, and it seemed as if she heard the splash of someone falling into the water, shrill screams, and the sounds of fierce fighting... Ooka Hongye nervously hugged Mingyue's arms tighter.

Mingyue glanced at Ooka Hongye beside her, felt the soft touch on her arm, and sighed slightly.

Outside the door was a quiet corridor. Unlike the chaos inside, it was very tidy and clean, as if nothing had happened.

Shuichi Akai narrowed his eyes, opened the door, walked out, looked around, there was no one on the spacious corridor, but there was a pungent smell of blood. Shuichi Akai felt that this cruise ship was more and more strange, and was alert to the surroundings.

The old butler followed Shuichi Akai out of the room. He also smelled the strong smell of blood in the air. The scene he saw in the elevator before reappeared in his mind. Fear enveloped him, and he was cautious with every step forward.

Mingyue led Ooka Hongye out. Compared with the others who were nervous and alert, Mingyue looked very relaxed. The man with the red fox mask at the end of the team was paying attention to Mingyue's every move.

"It doesn't seem to be dangerous. Should we go to the main restaurant on the fifth floor or the buffet restaurant on the ninth floor?" Mingyue patted the back of Ooka Hongye's hand soothingly.

Ooka Hongye trembled her eyelashes twice, slowly opened her eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see the bloody scene. But when she thought of the scene she saw on the fifth floor, she couldn't help but shudder. That wasn't a movie! Someone really got killed...

"No, let's not take the elevator. Let's go to the ninth floor." Ooka Hongye's voice was a little trembling, but she still pretended to be calm.

Shuichi Akai glanced at Mingyue behind him. Mingyue, who was originally weak, was now almost restricted in movement. If she encountered danger, she would probably not be able to escape. But if they didn't take the elevator, they could only take the stairs to the ninth floor. Although the distance was not far, the quiet surroundings made Shuichi Akai always feel that something would happen.

"Take the central staircase, which is wider and has a good view." The red fox masked man looked at Akai Shuichi who looked a little confused, and said kindly: "If you don't know the route, let me lead the way in front, and you and the old butler follow behind."

Akai Hide nodded and walked to the end of the team with the old butler. This was what Akai Hide expected. If he was at the front of the team, the red fox would definitely keep a close eye on Mingyue.

Regardless of the FBI's position or Lei's position, it is impossible for him to let the Ooka family discover Mingyue's true identity, let alone hand Mingyue over to the Ooka family. So in the current situation, Akai Shuichi has to find a way to make the other party not focus on Mingyue, but this also requires Mingyue's cooperation.

For a moment, Akai Shuichi felt it was very difficult. This was different from an ordinary task. The difficulty of the two people who had no coordination was almost geometrically increased when they were forced together. Akai Shuichi could only pray that Mingyue would behave better and pretend to be an ordinary girl.

The man in the red fox mask guessed that Black Wolf didn't want him to pay too much attention to Gray Rabbit. Although he doubted the identities of the two men, after all, the people who could come to this cruise ship were not simple. But the situation was urgent at the moment. In order to avoid contact with the Japanese police who were lurking in, he could only cooperate with the two men. At least they were getting along well for now.

The most important thing is that Miss Hongye has been holding on to the gray rabbit, which makes the man in the red fox mask feel a little bit difficult.

Everyone walked carefully along the corridor and passed an open door. The man in the red fox mask called on everyone behind him to be careful and take cover. He himself stuck to the wall and cautiously looked inside the room.

The glaring blood red color was particularly eye-catching against the white walls, and the criss-crossing corpses was shocking.

The woman whose hands and ears were chopped off had already lost her life, and next to her were several unrecognizable strong male corpses. A strong smell of blood wafted out of the guest room.

The man in the red fox mask glanced at the people behind him and scanned the crime scene. Now was not a good time to investigate. Even if he investigated and knew who the murderer was, how could he uphold justice and punish the murderer on this cruise ship?

"Let's get out of here quickly." The man in the red fox mask whispered.

Several people walked quickly through the room with the open door.

Ooka Hongye took a curious glance, and after seeing the situation in the room clearly, her whole body went limp and her legs and feet were almost uncontrollable. Fortunately, Mingyue supported her and prevented her from falling to the ground.

"Miss!" Monobe's old butler was concerned about Ooka Momiji's condition.

Ooka Hongye looked at Mingyue and said in a trembling voice, "I'm fine, don't be afraid, you must stay calm!"

Ming Yue nodded, "Well, we should be at the central staircase soon."

The man in the red fox mask glanced at the two girls behind him and continued to lead the way.

Suddenly, a faint female voice reached everyone's ears, and it seemed even more eerie in this quiet corridor.

"Is there anyone? Help me! Please help me, anyone can help me..."

The red fox looked at the black wolf behind him, and they both nodded slightly.

Mingyue raised her eyebrows. What did these two people agree on secretly? Did they want to rescue people? Aren't they worried that this was a trap?

However, the reality was just as Mingyue had guessed. When the team arrived at the door where the sound came from, this door was also open. There were many people lying in it, and most of them were wearing black hoods, just like the intruders who broke into the room.

A frail woman supported herself with her hands and struggled to crawl towards the door, her face was covered with blood and tears, her clothes were tattered, and most importantly, her legs seemed broken.

The man in the red fox mask held the playing cards, looked at the woman on the ground, and asked in a deep voice: "Don't move, who are you?"

However, the frail woman still dragged her unresponsive hind legs and crawled towards the red fox masked man bit by bit, begging: "Please, save me, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die..."

"Don't crawl any further!" the man in the red fox mask warned the woman and signaled the others not to get close.

Mingyue glanced at the corpse in the room, then looked at the frail woman who crawled to the feet of the man in the red fox mask, her expression gloomy.

The red fox masked man tried to dodge, but his trouser leg was tightly grasped by the hand of the slender woman. The red fox masked man growled unhappily: "Let go!"

“Please, I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to die…” The frail woman looked up at the man in the red fox mask, “I’m a passenger with a golden ticket, my family is very rich, please help me, you can give me as much money as you want, I don’t want to die…”

Ooka Hongye hid behind Mingyue and looked at the woman who was holding the trouser leg of the man with the red fox mask and refused to let go. She whispered, "She is so pitiful. I don't think she is a bad person. Let's help her."

"Please help me. Those people stole my money and jewelry, and left in a hurry after hearing the broadcast. I think they should all go to the second floor, which is safe." The frail woman looked at the two girls wearing rabbit masks behind the man wearing the red fox mask with a longing look on her face.

Akai Shuichi looked around, frowning and thinking. They had only met a living person so far, could it be that everyone else had already left the seventh floor? Glancing at the closed door, he thought, maybe someone was afraid of being hurt and was hiding in the room and didn't dare to come out.

The man in the red fox mask crouched down cautiously and looked directly at the frail woman, "You didn't lie to me?"

"Why would I lie to you?" The frail woman looked at the man in the red fox mask with wet eyes.
