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

A few minutes ago, Mingyue and Lei, who were originally on the seventh floor, heard a familiar melody at the same time. They quickly ran to the stairwell and returned to the fourth floor of the cruise ship along the winding stairs.

When they arrived, the announcement was just beginning: "The prelude is on."

"The prelude has begun." Lei pricked up his ears and listened carefully to every word of the lyrics.

"After wasting so much time, how are you going to compensate me?" Mingyue smirked, her chest heaving violently from running. "You even suspected I'd swapped bracelets with someone else? Don't you think about it carefully? If I wanted to swap, wouldn't it be easier for me to just come to you guys?"

Lei followed Mingyue, keeping an eye on the surroundings. "Sorry, I'll find you a chair."

"If you knew about the chair, you wouldn't have been eliminated in the last round." Mingyue crossed her arms and exhaled, "There's something I don't think is necessary to hide from you."

"Hmm?" Lei looked at Mingyue.

"I'm just a passerby, so if you want to help, go help the other two."

"Oh?" At this moment, Lei couldn't tell whether what Mingyue said was true or false, but he knew in his heart that Mingyue didn't want him to follow, but there were frequent murders on the cruise ship and the situation was not clear.

"Applause breaks out loud." The clear child's voice echoed in the cabin.

Suddenly, Mingyue stopped and looked up at Lei. "You won't tell everyone that I've become a passerby, will you? After all, I still want more bargaining chips."

"Then why are you telling me this?"

"Give me one of your chips and I will tell you the reason." Mingyue smiled with her eyes curved like a cunning little fox.

Lei looked at the little hand that was extended to him, his eyes darkened, and he chuckled softly. He took out one of his chips and placed it in Mingyue's palm, "My chip can't help you advance."

"It doesn't matter. As long as I have yours, I will find a way to get theirs." Mingyue put away the chip engraved with the letter "R" carefully.

"Where are your chips?" Lei always felt that there was something fishy going on, but he couldn't predict Mingyue's next move.

Mingyue tilted her head, a puzzled expression on her face. "Don't you know? All my chips were taken away by the owl, so I can only ask for them, not exchange them."

Lei lowered his eyes slightly, guessing that this must be Bourbon's plan, and said nothing more.

"Aren't you planning to eliminate me?" Mingyue's lips curled slightly, "If you want to eliminate me, you have to give it your all."

Lei's face remained tense as he pondered Mingyue's next move. Suddenly, a clear and pleasant child's voice entered his ears: "Please draw the curtains, the show is about to begin."

When Mingyue looked up, she saw the hedgehog-haired man on a white horse who had just hidden in the corner. His crimson hair made him stand out in the crowd.

Lei took Mingyue's hand and prepared to take her away from here, but the hedgehog-haired man on the white horse suddenly jumped out from his hiding place, which made Lei feel something was wrong.

"Are you two looking for chairs too?" The hedgehog-haired man on the white horse stopped them.

Mingyue noticed the calculation in the hedgehog-haired white horse man's eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "You want to take our chair?"

"Oh, how can you say that?" The hedgehog-haired white horse man gave a friendly smile, "I just wanted to borrow it. I think you should have some extra."

Lei glanced at Mingyue, then locked eyes with the hedgehog-haired man on the white horse. "Sorry, my chair was destroyed last round, so I have to continue looking for a chair on the cruise ship."

"If one chair is destroyed, there should be other chairs." The hedgehog-haired white horse man looked up and down at the black wolf in front of him, "Unless you are already a passerby?"

Mingyue and Lei looked at each other, and no one responded.

The hedgehog-haired man on the white horse curled his lips slightly, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with becoming a passerby. After all, that's the rule of the game. It's just that perhaps you two don't know what I've experienced."

Lei looked at the white horse man in front of him warily, silently protecting Mingyue behind him, "Time is running out, I'm afraid we don't have time to listen to Mr. Bai Ma's experience."

"Really? I heard that Mr. Black Wolf, you are now a passerby, and this Miss Gray Rabbit..." The hedgehog-haired man on the white horse shifted his gaze to the Gray Rabbit behind Black Wolf.

Lei blocked the spiky-haired man's gaze from his gaze, "It's true that I'm a passerby, but she needs a chair."

"That's easy. I know the whereabouts of a chair, but..." The hedgehog-haired man on the white horse stopped talking halfway and instead looked at the black wolf in front of him.

Lei was about to refuse when Mingyue's voice came from behind him: "Just what?"

Mingyue poked her head out from behind Lei and said, "Mr. Baima, if you knew where the chair was, why didn't you sit on it yourself instead of telling us?"

The hedgehog-haired white horse man looked at the gray rabbit, a smile on his lips, "Because I can't afford to offend the guy who moved the chair. But if it's you, maybe you can succeed."

"lion?"

"Miss Gray Rabbit is indeed very intelligent."

Lei's brows knitted slightly. "Who was the boss in the last round?"

"I don't think Mr. Black Wolf would have guessed that." The hedgehog-haired man on the white horse raised his chin slightly and said with a smile, "Baboon, he deleted chair number 5, and chair number 17 was just sat on by a lion."

"So you think the lion sent someone to steal your chair?" Lei understood and continued, "Then how do you know if we can get the chair back?"

The spiky-haired white man glanced back and forth at the black wolf, then chuckled, "You probably won't get it, but Miss Gray Rabbit is different. After all, she's a winner, so she must have a plan to ensure her advancement."

"Didn't the host explain the promotion method very clearly? What's more, there are people who hope that I will be eliminated because of this." Mingyue glanced at Lei beside her.

"Mr. Bai Ma, we still have to continue looking for chairs. I wish you a successful promotion." After Lei said this, he pulled Mingyue and prepared to leave.

However, the spiky-haired man on the white horse couldn't let them leave like that. He immediately stepped forward and blocked their way. "Hey! Don't go. You have to listen to what I have to say..."

"Please move aside, we still need to find a chair." Lei didn't want to get entangled with the other party, and looked at the hedgehog-haired white horse man with a cold face.

The icy green eyes startled the spiky-haired man on the white horse. If he hadn't seen the long black hair, he would have thought he had met that person. "You two know that time is running out, and most of the chairs have been hidden. No matter how hard you try, it will probably be in vain. Why don't you listen to my plan?"

As the hedgehog-haired man on the white horse finished speaking, new lyrics emerged from the melodious music: "The swan wields its sturdy pick and shovel, digging three feet of soil beneath its feet..."

"Sorry, I'm busy." Lei wanted to take Mingyue away again, but the hedgehog-haired man on the white horse's next words successfully stopped him.

"Speaking of which, there seems to be someone missing from that underworld princess's side. Do you know where he went?"
