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

"How could I possibly know about their affairs? But if I think about it for a moment, I should be able to guess that he should be somewhere on the cruise ship guarding the chairs." A fine layer of sweat appeared on Lei's palms.

Mingyue felt the stickiness on her wrist, looked up at Lei, and rolled her eyes.

"Oh, you're wrong to think so. If the Mafia Princess didn't need a chair, she wouldn't have secretly moved mine away. After all, they have an agreement with me. Taking my chair away would be the same as breaking it." The spiky-haired man on the white horse's head looked at the black wolf's long black hair. "As for the raccoon, he must have been burned to death in the utility room where you hid the chair."

"I've seen that charred corpse, but how can you be sure it was him?" Lei turned and looked at the hedgehog-haired man on the white horse. "Could it be that you are his murderer?"

"Mr. Black Wolf, you can't wrongly accuse someone." The hedgehog-haired man with the white horse spread his hands and acted very innocently. "I heard that someone found half a burnt mask at the fire scene, and that mask happened to be Raccoon's."

Mingyue tilted her head slightly and asked thoughtfully, "From what you said, that person was burned to a charred corpse. How come half of the mask was still preserved and could still be recognized?"

Lei's brows were furrowed under the mask. Thinking of the cigarette with the note hidden in the cigarette box, his heart was in turmoil, but his face remained as cold as ice.

The hedgehog-haired man on the white horse looked at the gray rabbit, startled for a moment, and then said, "I don't know about that. After all, it was Mr. Black Wolf who rushed in to put out the fire. I guess Mr. Black Wolf and Mr. Raccoon have a close relationship, otherwise Mr. Raccoon wouldn't have come to Mr. Black Wolf again and again."

"It does look unusual." Mingyue curled the corners of her mouth slightly and looked up at Lei.

Lei still had a cold face. He knew that if he explained at this time, it would make Mingyue more suspicious. Although he didn't know why the hedgehog-haired white horse man said that, the current situation was not in his favor.

Mingyue's eyes rolled as she sized up the white-horse man with the crimson spiky hair. A charming smile curved the corners of her lips. "So, you suspect Mr. Black Wolf is the murderer? After all, you know I've been in some contact with Miss Lion, and it's normal for people around me to interact with each other. Or are you trying to sow discord between her and me?"

The hedgehog-haired man on the white horse frowned slightly. He had originally intended to use this incident to test the relationship between them and the mafia, but he hadn't expected the gray rabbit to admit it so frankly. This made him feel that there was something fishy going on, and he quickly replied, "No, no, no, how could I dare to do that? I only suggested this because I heard you said you wanted to find a chair."

Lei glanced at Mingyue. He also did not expect Mingyue to say that. At this moment, he was even more uneasy. He knew that once Mingyue told Bourbon about this, it would be difficult not to arouse Bourbon's suspicion. At that time, he could only find a way to escape from the organization. However, now he was in the vast ocean, and there was nowhere to escape even if he wanted to.

A melodious childish voice echoed through the cruise ship: "The crows chanted a long sutra in a loud voice, bidding her farewell."

The new lyrics made Lei's brows furrow even tighter. He always felt that there was a huge message hidden in these lyrics, but it might be that he was worrying too much. After all, there were many nursery rhymes that had been re-adapted and covered. This song might just be a prop for timing. Focusing too much on cracking the lyrics might distract some people. After all, this game was not very difficult.

Mingyue's fingers gently twisted the ends of her hair, and the corners of her lips curled up playfully. "It seems I really should thank you for the information you provided. Perhaps going to Miss Lion is indeed a good idea."

"Then I wish you both success in advancing." After saying that, the hedgehog-haired man on the white horse turned around and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Bai Ma, don't go." Ming Yue stopped him, "Why don't we go to Miss Lion's place together? Maybe we can find your chair that someone else moved away."

Lei was about to part ways with the hedgehog-haired white horse man, but unexpectedly Mingyue stopped him. Looking at Mingyue with a cold face, he suggested: "Search separately, the probability is higher."

"No," Mingyue looked at Lei, "He has shared such important information with us. If we separate like this, wouldn't it be a bit like destroying the bridge after crossing it? Besides, there's nothing wrong with working together. We can get to know each other more deeply. Don't you think so, Mr. Bai Ma?"

Lei Yi's thin lips were pressed into a straight line. If he hadn't considered Mingyue, he would have really wanted to get more information from her, especially about the raccoon man. But was the timing right now?

The hedgehog-headed man on the white horse, who was named by the gray rabbit again, felt something was wrong. He slowly turned around and looked at the gray rabbit. His eyes happened to meet the gray rabbit's, but he failed to decipher the information contained in those bright eyes.

But the hedgehog-haired white horse man knew that if he didn't agree to the gray rabbit at this time, he would most likely be targeted in the subsequent games. He had originally hoped that the black wolf would forcefully take the gray rabbit away, but at this time, the black wolf seemed to have been persuaded by the gray rabbit.

After weighing the pros and cons for a while, the hedgehog-headed man on the white horse responded with a smile: "It would be better this way. After all, I don't want to become a passerby in this round. But do you know where Miss Lion is?" The hedgehog-headed man on the white horse glanced back and forth between the gray rabbit and the black wolf, looking for an opportunity to escape.

Mingyue's lips drooped, and she shrugged, pretending to be helpless and said, "In order to prevent others from knowing the number on the chair, she will definitely not stay in Room 4. It's not easy to find her now..."

Hearing this, the spiky-haired man on the white horse's eyes lit up. He was about to suggest that they split up to search, but the gray rabbit continued, "Why don't we go for a walk together? What if we run into each other? After all, if we search separately, we may not have enough time, and even if we do meet, we won't be able to notify each other in time. So, it's better to act together."

The spiky-haired man on the white horse looked at the gray rabbit mask, trying to analyze the girl's mind under the mask, but unfortunately he was not good at this. He suddenly felt that his initial strategy was wrong, and he felt like he was shooting himself in the foot, but since things had come to this point, he could only bite the bullet.

Lei glanced at the bright moon, then looked at the hedgehog-haired man on the white horse. Noticing the other's gaze, he turned calmly to look out the window. A ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the clouds onto the sea, causing waves to surge and occasionally fish could be seen jumping out of the water.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the cruise ship, several men in black robes anxiously ran up to the Frog Leader and reported in hushed voices, "Leader, this is bad! Our chairs have been destroyed by a brown bear!"

"How many were destroyed?" The Frog Leader's heart almost jumped into his throat.
