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

The deafening noise suddenly stopped, the air seemed to freeze instantly, and it was so quiet that you could clearly hear the muffled breathing in each other's chests. Even the rustling of clothes against fabric sounded particularly jarring at that moment.

About 100 meters from room number 4, the man in the red fox mask stopped, turned to look at the gray wolf beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Throw the brown bear?"

“Discuss it with them.” Scotland’s tone was calm, but his gaze unconsciously swept over Mingyue, whom he was holding tightly, and his fingertips felt the soft warmth of the girl’s small hand.

The man in the red fox mask nodded slightly, then continued walking towards room number 4. "I wonder if they found the chair yet?"

"How about we vote for Siamese Cat this round?" Mingyue suggested with a smile, but her words were met with silence. The corridor was quiet, and no one responded.

By this time, a number of gamblers had gathered at the door of room number 4, their buzzing whispers sounding like swarms of flying ants stirring in the air.

Some of them were clutching their clothes tightly, their knuckles turning white; others were leaning against the wall, their chests heaving violently, and suppressed gasps escaping their throats, as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying.

As participants approached, they seemed to be driven away by an invisible force, retreating to both sides and revealing a narrow passage. Their eyes were filled with a mixture of fear, vigilance, and a hint of barely perceptible greed.

Mingyue and her two companions made their way through the crowd and successfully entered room number 4.

Upon entering the room, Scotland cautiously looked around, his gaze quickly locking onto Bourbon and Rye, who were already waiting inside.

The man in the red fox mask scanned the room, glancing at Persephone, the black horse, not far away. He saw her take off her bracelet and place a few chips in the cobra woman's palm. After doing all this, she shrugged as if helpless.

The sharp-eyed Mingyue noticed the letter H on the chip in the cobra woman's hand. She then thoughtfully looked up at Bourbon in front of her, a cryptic smile playing on her lips.

"How is it?" the man in the red fox mask asked first.

"If we're lucky this round, we can make it to the next round," Lei said in a low voice.

“I have the ticket for the dark horse.” Bourbon waved the two envelopes between his fingers.

Upon hearing this, Scotland breathed a slight sigh of relief. His gaze involuntarily drifted to Zero's hands, which were wrapped in gauze. Seeing no bloodstains, he felt much more at ease and quietly recounted his encounter with the bearded Lily.

"Will he really throw for the Bruins?" Bourbon frowned.

Lai looked Mingyue up and down, his gaze finally landing on Scott's hand holding Mingyue's. He parted his thin lips slightly, but before he could speak, he sensed someone approaching from behind. He turned around warily and saw a bunny girl walking over with an envelope in her hand.

"Miss Gray Rabbit, here is your ballot." The bunny girl bent down and handed over the ballot.

However, before Mingyue's hand could even touch the envelope, a hand wrapped in gauze suddenly reached out from the side and swiftly snatched the envelope away.

"That's my vote, give it back!" Mingyue glared at Bourbon unhappily.

Bourbon ignored Mingyue's dissatisfaction, looked down, opened the envelope, quickly glanced at it, and after confirming that the ballot was inside, he saw a small hand reaching for his wrist. He quickly raised the envelope above his head, looked at Mingyue, and said in a tone that left no room for refusal, "I'll vote for you."

Seeing that she couldn't get it back, Mingyue pouted in dissatisfaction, shook the hand that Scotland was holding, and said in a pitiful voice, "Little Cake Brother, he bullied me."

Scotland simply smiled gently and handed the envelope she had just received to Bourbon. "What are you going to do?"

Before Bourbon could answer, a loud commotion suddenly came from the direction of the door to room number 4.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way now!" a rough voice roared.

"Why are you pushing me! You're squeezing me to death!" Someone stumbled from being pushed and complained loudly, but was quickly drowned out by even more intense shouts.

Someone whispered a quick warning: "Make way, he's coming!"

When Scotland saw who was standing at the door, the smile on his face vanished and his eyes became serious.

"They've teamed up?" The man in the red fox mask frowned slightly.

Mingyue looked towards the door. The appearance of the brown bear did not surprise her, but what surprised her was the bearded Lily standing next to the brown bear.

“It seems that the rat that once possessed the letter 'Y' died in vain.” Mingyue’s gaze swept across the crowd, and when she saw Kiriko Busujima hiding in a corner with eyes full of resentment, she smiled and continued, “Someone should still remember the deaths of the yellow dog and the black goat, right?”

The girl's voice wasn't loud, but it made the man in the red fox mask's pupils shrink suddenly. He quickly regained his composure, but then he glanced at the gray rabbit and saw it smiling at him. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away, focusing on the brown bear surrounded by a group of people. His hand, hidden in his sleeve, clenched into a fist.
