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

"Chase!" Qijian Daqi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he saw the gray rabbit mask.

The circular central staircase spirals upwards, seemingly without end.

Bourbon and Lei rushed to the twelfth floor, but the Phantom Thief Crow was on the other side of the stairs, and was about to disappear at the stairs with Gray Rabbit in his arms. Even if the two of them ran fast, it would be difficult to catch him.

Rye watched as Bourbon suddenly accelerated, stepped on the guardrail, and leaped into the air.

"Hey! This is the twelfth floor!" Lei kept walking, staring at Bourbon who was rising into the air, and thought to himself: Is this guy trying to kill himself?

Scotland, who had just broken free and rushed over, saw this scene, gritted his teeth and shouted to Ley: "I'll flank from the other side."

Lei looked at Scotland who was running in the other direction and quickened his pace.

Bourbon reached out to grab the crystal lamp, and the sharp glass cut his palm. His eyes were fixed on the thief Crow in front of him. With the help of the crystal lamp, Bourbon jumped in the direction of the thief Crow, but gravity pulled him down.

The Phantom Thief Crow on the other side of the stairs seemed to be frightened by Bourbon's action. He took two steps toward the fence, wanting to see if the Siamese cat had fallen down, but saw a pair of bloody hands grabbing the railing in front of him.

Bourbon licked his lips, held the railing tightly with both hands, bent over, kicked his feet, climbed over the railing, and landed steadily in front of the Crow Thief, staring at the gray rabbit mask with only one corner exposed under the black cloak. It was dark all around, and Bourbon could not determine the true situation of the gray rabbit in the Crow Thief's arms.

The Phantom Thief Crow took two steps back, turned around and ran.

But how could Bourbon let him go? "Leave the gray rabbit here!"

Suddenly, the lights flickered violently, and the scene in front of me became unreal between light and dark. The flickering lights made people dizzy. Some people even held on to the wall, lowered their heads, and actually vomited.

Qiejian Daqi suddenly felt dizzy and closed his eyes, but the feeling did not ease. He asked in a deep voice, "Who is controlling these lights?"

"I don't know. The control system of the cruise ship has been hacked." After adjusting the headset for a long time without any results, Shi Shen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the twelfth floor. There were people patrolling that floor every fifteen minutes, but no one showed up despite the noise. The control room of the cruise ship was also on that floor. A bad premonition came over him. "Master, can I go up and take a look?"

"Where is the person in charge of that floor?" Qiejian Daqi covered his eyes with his hands, but the alternating light and dark still made him feel dizzy.

"Not sure, there's no response from the headset." Shi Shen replied truthfully.

Qiejian Daqi lowered his head, as if he couldn't stand the flickering lights. "I will be here the whole time. Please go and come back soon."

Shi Shen touched his exquisite mustache, restrained his smile, rushed up the stairs in a few steps, passed the crowd lying on the ground, and quickly rushed to the twelfth floor like an agile cheetah. The flashing lights did not seem to affect his movements.

On the twelfth floor, Bourbon bent his fingers like hooks, trying to catch the Phantom Thief Crow in front of him, but the flashing lights would affect his judgment, and the opponent would dodge him several times by relying on his flexible movements.

However, luck will not always favor the Phantom Thief Crow. As Bourbon's punching speed increases, the black cloak is finally grabbed by Bourbon.

The two men each held one end of the cloak and tore at each other for a long time. With a "sizzle", the black cloak could not withstand the pulling and was torn into two pieces.

At this time, Ley and Scotland surrounded from both sides.

The Phantom Thief Crow, trapped between three bottles of whiskey, was like a turtle in a jar.

In the flickering light, Bourbon could see the gray rabbit mask clearly, which was exactly the same as the one he had seen on Mingyue's face before.

Just as Bourbon was surprised, the strange thief Crow threw the gray rabbit in his arms to Bourbon.

The moment his palms made contact and he felt the soft touch, Bourbon's face became terribly gloomy, because what the Phantom Thief Crow threw to him was not Mingyue at all, but a life-size doll of the same size as Mingyue!

But the mask on the face of the life-size doll was indeed Mingyue's. Under the flickering light, Bourbon saw a gray hair on the mask.

"Where did you hide the gray rabbit?!" Bourbon growled angrily.

The Phantom Thief Crow chuckled and said jokingly, "Didn't I return it to you? Isn't it in your arms right now?"

Bourbon gritted his teeth and threw the life-size doll in his hand to Lei behind him, and then pounced on the Phantom Thief Crow in front of him.

The Scottish who had outflanked Bourbon instantly understood Bourbon's intention and intercepted the thief Crow on his escape route.

Lei caught the life-size doll that Bourbon threw at him. He paused for a moment, frowning, because he had checked the clothes on the life-size doll before. It was one of the clothes in the closet in his and Mingyue's room. He would not remember it wrong.

Suddenly all the lights on the ship came on.

"Gray Rabbit is there!"

“There are gray rabbits here too!”

"I saw the gray rabbit too!"

Similar sounds were heard in several places on the ship. Many people discovered the gray rabbit hiding in the dark corners, and the crowd was excited again.

The three bottles of whiskey were disturbed by the sounds and were distracted for a moment.

The Phantom Thief Crow took the opportunity to use the poker gun to escape the encirclement of three bottles of whiskey, but those burly men wearing blank masks had already rushed over, and Ross in a bathrobe was also mixed in the crowd.

A group of people rushed towards Lei, while another group who wanted to take away the Kashmir Star in the chaos continued to chase the figure of the Phantom Thief Crow.

Lei decisively took off the mask on the life-size doll and threw it into the chaotic crowd.

Bourbon and Scotland lay on the railing and looked downstairs, trying to find Mingyue in the chaotic crowd, but they saw several people on each floor holding puppets wearing gray rabbit masks.

"Pay attention to your clothes, those aren't them." Rye glanced at Scotland and Bourbon, then followed the thief Crow out of the cabin.

Scotland and Bourbon followed closely behind, and the moment they stepped out of the cabin, all the lights went out and the entire cruise ship fell into darkness again.

Bourbon was keenly aware that a pair of eyes were fixed on him, but when he looked over, he saw nothing.

Scotland noticed something was wrong with Bourbon, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Bourbon looked at the crowd rushing up to the twelfth floor, frowned slightly, and wondered if he was wrong.

In the cafeteria on the ninth floor, Mafia Karen put down the cup in her hand and raised her lips slightly. The changes in the light and darkness of the surrounding light had no effect on her "eyes". She could clearly "see" the people running around, and the movements and expressions of the people around her. Although she didn't know how she did it, this experience was simply wonderful.

The housekeeper wearing an elk mask heard the sound of cups and saucers clinking and rubbed her eyes. The dark environment made it impossible for her to see what was happening around her, but it brought back bad memories of the past. She called out worriedly, "Miss."

"What's going on?" Mafia Karen took in the expression of the Elk Housekeeper beside her, "What's going on with all the noise around us?"

The Elk Housekeeper looked around and replied hesitantly, "I think I heard someone say that Miss Gray Rabbit was found."

"Oh?" Mafia Karen seemed to be listening attentively to the surroundings. "Who found it?"

Suddenly someone cursed, "Fuck! It's all fake! They're just inflatable dolls wearing clothes, even the masks are fake!"

"They're made of paper and are very realistic. The dolls look just like real people." Another victim's voice was full of complaints.

"We've all been fooled! Gray Rabbit must still be on the twelfth floor, let's go up!"

The angry crowd pressed towards the twelfth floor, making it difficult for Shi Shen, who was originally walking very fast, to move forward.

The spiral staircase that spiraled upward was full of people. The crowded crowd broke the fence. People who were pushed down the stairs screamed and fell down. The dull sound of heavy objects falling was heard from the third deck.

The screams, shouts, pushing sounds, and the dull thud of heavy objects falling made Ooka Momiji shrink into a ball. She huddled behind the old butler Mononobe in extreme fear.

In the darkness, the pink rabbit mask on her face looked just like a gray rabbit. If the man with the red fox mask hadn't been guarding her, she would have been mistaken for a gray rabbit and taken away.

On this cruise ship without order or law, Ooka Hongye felt terrified. Listening to the chaotic crowd around her, she whispered, "Where on earth is Little Moon? I wonder if something really happened to her."

"Ms. Momiji, Miss Gray Rabbit will definitely turn the danger into safety." The old butler Monobe protected Ooka Momiji behind him like an old hen.

The man with the red fox mask kicked away a gambler who wanted to get close to Ooka Momiji, frowned, and looked at the dark night sky outside the window.

The cruise ship floating on the deep sea is like a pitch-black coffin, and the smell of blood in the air seems like a demon hidden in a dark corner.

The outdoor deck at the top of the cruise ship was crowded with people. The Crow Thief pointed the poker gun in his hand at the huge chimney of the cruise ship. As the steel wire contracted, the Crow Thief floated in the air. The billowing white smoke from the chimney wrapped the Crow Thief, like a black crow flying through the clouds.

"Get him down!"

The angry crowd threw whatever they had at the Phantom Thief Crow.

The Phantom Thief Crow slightly turned sideways to avoid all the thrown objects. The pitch-black hang glider spread out behind him, and the wind from the sea lifted him up, like a giant crow soaring in the sky.

Seeing that the Phantom Thief Crow was about to leave with the Star of Kashmir, Rose became extremely anxious. This was a mission she had asked for, and if she failed to complete it, she would be severely punished when she returned to the organization. She didn't want to go to the corporal punishment room.

Kogoro Mori looked up through the glass window on the fifth floor and saw the black hang glider in the night sky.

The lights on the cruise ship flashed twice and then all lit up, illuminating the surrounding sea.

Someone pointed a searchlight at the Phantom Thief Crow in the sky.

Under the illumination of the searchlight, the Phantom Thief Crow elegantly drew an arc in the sky. He took out the Kashmir Star from his dress uniform and said as if to show off: "I, the Phantom Thief Crow, accept this Kashmir Star." After that, he arrogantly set off a bunch of fireworks, as if to celebrate his success.

Kogoro Maori widened his eyes. If the Star of Kashmir was really taken away from the cruise ship and disappeared from his sight forever, then would Xiaolan and Eri also disappear from his life forever?

"I won't allow this to happen!" Kogoro Mouri clenched his fists, looked at the Kirima Dangi who was protected in the center by a group of burly men wearing blank masks, and ran over quickly, but was stopped by the burly men.

Seeing that he couldn't squeeze in, Maori Kogoro shouted to Kirima Daqi through the burly man: "Please, lend me a boat so that I can chase that thief!"

Qiejian Daqi looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was his former savior, his brows slightly frowned.

Maori Kogoro thought that the other party did not recognize him, and hurriedly shouted: "We met on the snowy hillside, at that time..."

Kirima Daki was worried that Kogoro Mori would reveal too much information, so he quickly asked the burly man wearing a blank mask to make way.

Maori Kogoro glanced out the window and saw the Phantom Thief Crow gliding provocatively near the cruise ship. "I promised Miss Bee to protect the Star of Kashmir. Now that it's been stolen, it's my responsibility to get it back."

"Mr. Elephant, you don't have to worry too much." Kirima Daqi didn't want Maori Kogoro to take risks for this. The gem was just one of the many collections of the Kirima family, although it was very expensive.

Maori Kogoro thought of Ross's comment that the Kirima family were all profit-seeking businessmen, so he said seriously: "I want to use all my chips to rent a ship from you so that I can catch up with the thief."

Miss Sika Deer, who had been watching the show on the fifth floor, sneered after hearing this, "Chips? Play two more rounds, and those chips will belong to the Qijian family."

Kirima Daki glanced at Miss Sika Deer who was speaking, looked around, and did not see the kidnapper who had been with Mouri Kogoro. He wanted to reveal the police information to the anxious father, but the crowd gathered around him made it impossible for him to effectively convey the information to Mouri Kogoro.

Suddenly, Maori Kogoro bowed deeply to Kirima Taki, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and said, "Please. As a detective, I will do my best for every commission. Please lend me a boat."

Kogoro Mouri looked at his toes. Only by chasing the Phantom Thief Crow could he stabilize Ross, and only then would Xiaolan and Eri have a chance of survival.

"detective!"

"Hehehe, he's actually a detective."

"As annoying as those cops!"

A series of fierce gazes pierced Kogoro Mori, making him feel uneasy.

Qijian Daqi frowned slightly. He didn't believe that the detective who had saved him from danger didn't know how much of a commotion his words would cause on the cruise ship.

If he insisted on not letting Maori Kogoro leave, the villains on the cruise ship would seize the opportunity to kill him, his savior, and he would not allow that to happen. He pretended to be in deep thought and reached out to touch the headset.

Rose, who was on the twelfth deck, suddenly felt a murderous aura, but there were too many people around her and she couldn't determine the source of the murderous aura for a while. She guessed that Kirima might have recognized her, and she felt something was wrong.

Thinking of Maori Kogoro who she had left on the fifth floor, she quickly shuttled through the crowd and ran to the fifth floor. At this time, she had to hold on to Maori Kogoro's life-saving card.

At the same time, several people in the crowd moved and followed closely behind Ross.

On the fifth floor of the cruise ship, Kirima Daqi lowered his eyes in thought, wanting to ask Feng Ming Naoko whether she had already eliminated the target, but there was still no movement in the headset.

"Honey, I'm sorry, I couldn't catch the thief and let him get away." Ross ran to Mouri Kogoro breathlessly, glanced at the Kirei-dan on the wheelchair, and reached out to hold Mouri Kogoro's arm.

Beeping Naoko finally squeezed to the fence on the seventh floor, and saw Ross had appeared in front of the machine, with his lips pressed into a straight line.

Kirima Daqi looked at Ross, who was wearing a white bathrobe over a tight leather jacket, and knew that Beehive Naoko's action had failed. "It's not impossible to lend you a boat, but you are my guest, so please allow me to arrange a helmsman for the boat. Another boat cannot be driven by only a few people, so I will arrange for sailors to go with you. After all, catching the thief is also the responsibility of the Kirima family."

"That would be great!" Maori Kogoro thanked him repeatedly. Xiaolan! Eri! You must wait for me!

Rose smiled brightly, after all, she could finally leave the cruise ship.

Soon a lifeboat was arranged by the cutter.

Kogoro Mouri pointed the searchlight at the Phantom Thief Crow gliding in the sky.

On the dark sea, a small lifeboat broke away from the cruise ship, following the vague figure in the sky, and sailed towards the unknown distance.
