Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group
Chapter 257 Socrates’ Wheat Ears (3)
"Then I'll go in." Ooka Hongye slowly released the hands that were restraining Mingyue, and walked into Room 1, looking back every few steps. The people outside the door stretched their necks to look inside the room, but behind the door there was a dark red curtain blocking the view of the layout of the room.
The man in the red fox mask looked at Ooka Momiji's petite body being swallowed up by the red door curtain. A feeling of powerlessness filled his heart and lingered. His thoughts gradually drifted away. He had opposed it before boarding the cruise ship, but how could the head of the Ooka family, who was the former prime minister, listen to his opinion? He could only take the initiative to volunteer.
However, my power is too small.
The man in the red fox mask lowered his eyes and looked at his hands. There were a few old scars on his open palms, which were the marks left when he fought with the knife-wielding gangster.
As the five fingers closed, these marks were hidden in the palm of the hand.
The man with the red fox mask looked at the tightly closed door of Room 1 again. He originally did not believe in gods, but now he wished that there really were gods in this world who could protect Ooka Momiji and let him leave here safely.
He exhaled silently, and the noisy sounds around him brought his thoughts back to reality.
The man in the red fox mask carefully looked at the three men surrounding the gray rabbit. They had different expressions. The Siamese cat who had negotiated with him before seemed full of hostility towards the black wolf, while the black wolf seemed very relaxed about it and didn't care at all.
As for the other man wearing a gray wolf mask, he remained alert and included the gray rabbit in his circle of protection, but he was not so vigilant towards me and did not seem to worry about what I would do. The man in the red fox mask narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking while slowly retracting his gaze, trying not to attract the attention of the people around him.
He caught a glimpse of Iori Muga hiding in the crowd. He seemed to be having a good chat with the black-robed members of the Apocalypse Church. Before, those black-robed members of the Apocalypse Church often set their eyes on Ooka Momiji.
Could it be that Iori was planning to form an alliance with the Apocalypse Cult? The man in the red fox mask speculated in his mind.
The tabby cat girl has been wandering among the crowd, seemingly persuading more people to join their alliance.
But not everyone is willing to form an alliance. Some people prefer to win the final victory, or they hope to eliminate more people.
The tall lady wearing a parrot mask leaned over Miss Lion's ear and whispered something, while Miss Lion's hollow eyes were tightly knitted with eyebrows, as if she was dissatisfied with something. The elk housekeeper beside her had a tense face. The three women of the mafia formed a small group of their own, and no one dared to approach them to talk.
Similarly, the bearded man wearing a monkey mask was accompanied by Mr. Baboon with a slicked-back hair and Mr. Mouse with shifty eyes. They were discussing something in a low voice.
The tabby cat girl once invited them to join the alliance, but the monkey man called Mr. Lily flatly refused.
The woman wearing the white tiger mask walked back and forth anxiously, and Mr. Tugou seemed to be trying to persuade Miss White Tiger to calm down, but to little avail.
The sturdy brown bear, who was isolated by everyone, licked his lips and stared at the gray rabbit. No one knew what was in his mind.
After observing for a while, the Cobra woman glanced at the Black Horse woman sitting in the wheelchair, and then exchanged a few words with the Raccoon man beside her.
The black horse woman rejected the invitation of the tabby cat girl, moved her wheelchair to Mingyue's side, looked at the Siamese cat with a wary face, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Siamese cat, can we still cooperate?"
Bourbon guessed that the other party wanted him to mark the wheat ears after selecting them, but he was not prepared to cooperate with anyone other than the Ooka family, so he refused and said, "There is no benefit in cooperating with you."
“I can take out the wheat ears you marked, and you can choose one to exchange with me to ensure that you rank higher.” The dark horse woman replied with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I've already teamed up with Pink Rabbit."
The dark horse woman understood, but still didn't want to give up, and continued to persuade: "Let me tell you something, someone has formed an alliance, and they still rely on luck to choose wheat ears. After all, it's just a temporary alliance, and the trust is not high, but they have a consensus..."
Scotland and Lei frowned slightly, and they seemed to have noticed something vaguely.
The dark horse lady looked at the gray rabbit with a worried look on her face, and slowly said what she had not finished, "If the last person is in the alliance, then we cannot drag people from the alliance into the cage battle, so we have to choose one of the two rabbit ladies, and the probability of choosing the pink rabbit lady is higher, but we cannot rule out the possibility that someone will choose the gray rabbit lady."
The man in the red fox mask clenched his fists.
"I don't think you want this to happen." The black horse lady glanced at the clenched fists of the four men. "If I join you, it will be different. At least I can get more wheat ears, so the probability of getting first place will be higher. What's more, Miss Gray Rabbit and Miss Pink Rabbit have helped me before, so you should give me a chance to repay them."
Mingyue chuckled, "It seems that Sister Persephone is very concerned about our affairs, but you helped us, and we can't guarantee that you won't enter the loser's revival match."
The black horse woman looked at the gray rabbit.
"You're picking on the weak. If Pink Rabbit and I are exempted from the loser's revival match, then in order to ensure the last person wins, it is very likely that you will be chosen, Persephone." Mingyue's lips curled slightly.
Bourbon secretly wrote down the name and tried to search for relevant information in his memory. They had indeed worked together before, but neither of them told the other their name.
The black horse girl knew that it was hopeless for her to join this group, so as to avoid making the relationship too awkward, she smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Gray Rabbit has a good idea."
Mingyue took Bourbon's right hand which was bandaged with gauze and said with a smile: "This method was not thought up by me, but by my brother."
Scotland glanced at the gauze on Bourbon's hand. Fortunately, he didn't see any blood oozing out, so the wound should not have been torn a second time.
Bourbon didn't know what Mingyue was up to for a moment. He always felt that Mingyue seemed to be planning something. If he was not careful, he might be tricked by this little fox.
However, Gray Rabbit's words aroused the red fox masked man's vigilance. After all, Gray Rabbit did not have a good face towards her sister's boyfriend, but took the initiative to hold the hand of the Siamese cat. However, the Siamese cat was very repulsive to the black wolf. Could it be that the Siamese cat also opposed Gray Rabbit's sister's relationship?
For a moment, many speculations emerged in the red fox's mind, and he secretly looked at the man wearing the gray wolf mask, wondering what kind of relationship he had with the gray rabbit.
Hiding in the crowd, Sakakibara was extremely anxious. He saw the man in the red fox mask looking at Scotland all the time, and he felt something was wrong. His heart was beating wildly in his chest. In this case, how should he pass on the information?
In room number one.
As soon as Ooka Hongye entered the door, she saw a pair of scissors on the display stand.
The scissors are small but sharp and look very useful.
Ooka Momiji looked around and didn't see any wheat ears, so she reached out and picked up the scissors, thinking that this should be a tool given by the organizer to facilitate picking wheat ears.
Following the arrows marked on the ground, after passing a long corridor, display cases on both sides of the road appeared in front of Ooka Hongye. On the display cases were long and short ears of wheat, some with full grains, some with shriveled grains, some green, some golden, and some with a thin layer of paint, reflecting the metallic luster under the light.
How much is this wheat ear worth? Ooka Momiji stared at the wheat ear in front of her that was sprayed with gold paint.
At this moment, Ooka Hongye felt as if she was in a museum of wheat ears, with wheat ears of all shapes and sizes appearing on both sides of the road. Ooka Hongye had never been to Room 1, so she didn't know how big the room was. She only felt that the road under her feet was winding and seemed to have no end.
The booths were far apart, and it was impossible to compare the size of two ears of wheat standing in front of a booth. Sometimes, from a distance, the ears of wheat on the distant booth seemed very big, but when I walked over, I found that they were not as big as the ones I just saw.
Ooka Hongye looked back and felt that she had missed the largest ear of wheat. She looked at the scissors and marker in her hands with some annoyance.
After some thought, she decided to look at all the wheat ears before marking them. After all, this was related to the fate of her and Little Moon. She also wanted to exchange diaries with Little Moon after leaving the cruise ship.
She also wanted to see her grandfather who loved her the most. Obviously, this ticket was given to her grandfather by someone else, but she was stubborn and insisted on boarding the cruise ship.
She also wants to win all the karuta competitions, and she also wants to be his bride...
A large wheat ear appeared in front of Ooka Momiji, and its heavy golden color was just like a haiku poem: "The fuller the wheat ear, the more the stalk bows down."
Ooka Hongye reached out and took the heavy ear of wheat, held it carefully in her palm, threw the useless scissors on the stand, and continued walking along the route.
After walking a few steps and turning a corner, Ooka Hongye saw a larger and more drooping ear of wheat. She looked down at the one in her hand and found that it was much smaller than the one on the stand in front of her. She immediately felt that she had taken it too early.
But should I take it down now? Ooka Hongye bit her lip and stared at the wheat ears in hesitation. She looked at the road ahead. The road seemed to be very long. If she took it down now, what if there was a bigger one behind? Although she had the help of Mr. Siamese Cat, she had to try to choose the more expensive one.
Ooka Momiji looked up at the ceiling and found the surveillance camera above her head. She knew that if she went back, she would be violating the rules, and the game would fail, and she would be locked in the bloodstained iron cage.
A chilling feeling spread over her chest, as if the dark waves were swallowing her up. Ooka Momiji felt that she was sinking to the bottom of the sea bit by bit, and the feeling of suffocation gradually swallowed her up.
Ooka Hongye hugged herself tightly, moved slowly, and walked forward bit by bit, noting the location of the wheat ear. She thought that she must mark this place later and let the kind Siamese cat come and get it.
Yes, our plan is perfect, and only Mr. Siamese Cat and I can accomplish it.
Ooka Hongye took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, and walked forward little by little. When she thought she was about to reach the end, the arrow on the ground turned a corner at the end of the road.
After walking a few steps, Ooka Hongye's eyes widened in shock at the scene before her...
