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

On the other side, Mingyue, who was looking around, suddenly stopped. Scotland, who noticed something was wrong, quickly turned around and saw Mingyue looking embarrassed.

"what happened?"

"I..." Mingyue folded her hands on her lower abdomen and said quickly, "I'm going to the bathroom first." After that, she raised her legs and ran away.

Scotland did not dare to hesitate and quickly followed, with all his attention focused on Mingyue. He guessed that Mingyue did this to get rid of him. Not to mention that the cruise ship was already full of dangers, and the game was not over yet. If Mingyue took the opportunity to leave their sight and reached some cooperation with other participants, the situation would become more complicated.

The two men made their way through the chaotic corridor, avoiding the sharp shards of porcelain and broken furniture on the floor. After turning a few corners and passing through a few crowds, Scotland saw a sign for the restroom.

Mingyue walked without stopping and rushed into the restroom in a few breaths, while Scotland stood in front of the female sign with a frown on his face. He then looked around, trying to find a sign indicating that the place was under maintenance or temporarily closed. However, there was an insurmountable gap between reality and ideals, and his plan to enter was ultimately shattered.

Scotland stood at the door, carefully observing his reflection on the white tiles of the wall, and listening carefully to the movements inside with his ears perked up. His heart was beating violently in his chest, and the uneasy feeling that the situation was out of control filled his whole body.

Suddenly, a female voice sounded like thunder from behind Scotland.

"Hey, why are you standing here? Are you trying to spy on someone?" The tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji crossed his arms and looked at the gray wolf warily.

Scotland turned aside, muttering an "I'm sorry," but his attention remained fixed on the area he couldn't enter. Seeing the tabby cat girl about to enter, he felt a surge of unease, wondering if her sudden appearance was a coincidence or a premeditated plan. He wanted to stop her, but couldn't find a good reason.

The tabby cat, Fukunaga Yuji, walked past Gray Wolf, glanced at him again, and then rolled his eyes and walked into the bathroom where Gray Wolf couldn't see him. His eyes swept over the tightly closed cubicles, and then he chuckled softly, turned around and walked out, looking at Gray Wolf. "Mr. Gray Wolf, are you looking for someone?"

Seeing this, Scotland became even more confused, but he pursed his lips and said nothing, because from the shadows reflected on the tiles and the surrounding cabin structure, he could confirm that the interior space was not large and there were no windows or other entrances and exits.

"There's no one inside." The tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji smiled brightly.

However, this sentence made Scotland's heart skip a beat and his heart beat faster, but at the same time he also doubted what the tabby cat girl said, because he was sure that he saw Mingyue enter here. Although he could not determine its specific internal structure, he was sure that Mingyue could not leave in such a short time.

Seeing that the gray wolf still ignored her, the tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji raised her eyebrows. The nursery rhyme was still playing in her ears, but the familiar part was about to end and new lyrics were about to appear.

"Oh who— killed Cock Robin? Where you should be right sad."

The child's voice is still clear and pleasant, but the originally melodious piano sound gradually becomes passionate.

Scotland felt as if the drum beats were almost coinciding with his heartbeat.

Along with the passionate music, the new lyrics came out clearly from the speakers, echoing in the bathroom: "The sighs must be sad enough, the tears must be bright enough, and in the twinkling you can glimpse a similar and sincere face."

The tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji tilted his head, looking thoughtful. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the gray wolf, and an intriguing arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Adjust the spotlight on the silent witness.”

The new lyrics seemed to predict what was happening in reality. The unconcealed gaze of the tabby cat girl made Scotland frown. For a moment, Scotland felt as if he was confused by the Siren's song, losing his reason and judgment, as if he was in a fog.

The passionate drumbeats coincided with his heartbeat. Scotland looked at the tabby cat girl and decided not to remain silent. He asked, "Miss Tabby Cat, what's the matter with you coming here so suddenly?"

The corner of Fukunaga Yuji's mouth twitched. He raised his thumb, pointed behind him, and asked in a somewhat unhappy tone, "What do you think happened when I came here? It's your presence that makes people feel strange."

Scotland thought that if he admitted that he was waiting for someone here, the person in front of him would probably guess that it was Mingyue inside, and she might do something bad to Mingyue. But if he couldn't give a reason, he would be suspected by the other party, and might be harassed by him endlessly.

"I wanted to see if there were any chairs inside," Scotland replied with a smile.

"So, you haven't become a passerby yet?" The tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji looked up and down at the gray wolf, and suddenly,

"So, you haven't become a passerby yet?" The tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji looked the gray wolf up and down. Suddenly, Fukunaga Yuji stretched out a hand, palm up, "Give me three chips that belong to you, and I will help you find a chair."

"Now that I think about it, if there was a chair inside, it would have been moved away by those black-robed men long ago." Scotland's gaze passed over the tabby cat girl in front of him and looked inside the bathroom. Unfortunately, his field of vision was limited and he couldn't confirm Mingyue's exact location. Scotland was secretly anxious.

Following the wolf's gaze, the tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji glanced behind him. He saw nothing unusual except for the tightly closed cubicle. He turned back to the wolf and said, "It seems you've never been in here before. I wonder what's inside." The tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji lifted the hair by his ear and said, "A gentleman like you..."

Suddenly, the tabby cat girl's voice stopped abruptly, and the smile on her face froze for a moment. Then, with a wry smile, she continued, "Gentlemen like you are quite rare. After all, that group of people don't care whether they can enter or not."

Scotland's eyes swept over the tabby cat girl leaning against the white tile wall, and the loud child's voice clearly reached his ears.

"As the morning approaches, the evening mist hides..."

"Morning, dusk..." the tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji softly repeated the lyrics, grumbling softly, "Is this game going to continue until tomorrow morning? If so, it would be too tiring. I haven't slept well in several nights. I'm sure Mr. Gray Wolf feels the same way."

Hearing this, Scotland felt that the tabby cat girl had come with bad intentions. "Miss Tabby Cat, you don't seem to have such a need."

The tabby cat, Fukunaga Yuji, raised his index finger and shook it gently. "I just think you have other intentions, so some things can be postponed appropriately. After all, I've become a passerby and have plenty of time to do what I want. But Mr. Gray Wolf, you probably don't have time to chat with me here."

Scotland met the scrutinizing gaze of the tabby cat girl and knew that his actions had aroused her suspicion. The passionate drumbeats seemed to resonate with his heart.

"Ring the low funeral knell as loud as you can, and listen to the clear bells echoing..." The clear singing became blurred again, and time was indeed running out.

Suddenly, there was a sound of running water in the bathroom.

The tabby cat, Fukunaga Yuji, seemed startled and quickly turned to look in the direction of the sound...
