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

Suddenly, a broadcast sounded: "All participants, please hand in your wheat ears. Ranking will be conducted soon. During this period, any use of force is prohibited on the cruise ship."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the broadcast. At least the Kirima family had taken action, and they seemed to have a chance to survive.

Looking at the brown bear and the black goat fighting each other in the field, Daliang was ready to stop them, but he had no confidence that he could subdue the brown bear alone.

Suddenly, Daliang heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw several colleagues walking towards him. He felt relieved and shouted in the direction of the brown bear and the black goat: "Stop!"

Just when everyone thought that the brown bear and the black goat would continue to fight to a standstill, and then both would be eliminated, or that the brown bear would kill the black goat and then be killed by the hosts of the Kirima family.

The brown bear man and the black goat man were separated by one blow. The two sides stared at each other, and the hostility between them did not diminish in the slightest.

"Cops?" The brown bear licked his lips with a look of unsatisfied feeling, staring at the goat man in front of him. He didn't want to be eliminated here, so he twisted his arms and guessed that he shouldn't be the last one, but he suddenly thought that being the last one was also good, so that he could choose the black goat to enter the iron cage together.

But unfortunately he was unable to kill them all. The brown bear man looked around and thought that if it weren't for the broadcast, he should have been able to kill all the people with letter name tags and become the final winner.

The black goat man stared at the brown bear man in front of him and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He was feeling nervous at this moment and didn't know what to say for a moment. Whether he denied or confirmed this situation, his situation would not be particularly good.

A voice of regret rang out from the crowd, "What a pity!"

The Black Goat Man glanced over vigilantly, but did not find the person who was speaking in the crowd.

At this time, twenty-four bunny girls holding trays slowly walked up to the owners of the existing letter name tags. The plates in their hands were all marked with letters, except for T for dog and Y for mouse.

The bunny girls stand next to the participants with letter name tags and signal the participants to put the selected ears of wheat on the tray.

The scalper girl who got nothing in room 1 received a jeweled wheat ear from the frog man who was hidden in a black robe. Three members of the Apocalypse Cult with letter name tags gathered together and whispered.

What concerned Mingyue was that the man in the raccoon mask actually got a jeweled ear of wheat from the tall parrot woman. Although the parrot mask woman seemed reluctant, Mafia Karen did not stop her, and the elk housekeeper showed a smile on her face.

Mingyue frowned slightly, wondering in her heart about the identity of the man wearing the raccoon mask. After all, there were no men in Mafia Karen's personal guard, so who was he?

"Sir..." The big-backed baboon looked sad. He was injured in the fight just now.

The fat man patted the baboon with the shaggy hair on his shoulder, looked at the ears of wheat in his hand, put away the one that was originally given to the mouse, and put the other one on the tray in the bunny girl's hand. His expression was gloomy, and the familiar drake's voice seemed to still echo in his ears.

"Mrs. Lily, I don't want to be eliminated..."

"Mrs. Lily, I will always follow you..."

"Mrs. Lily..."

The obese man looked up at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling. The dazzling light made him close his eyes. He whispered to himself, "I'll make them pay."

"Sir..." The baboon with a big back hair looked at the fat man with a calm face.

In the corner of the crowd, the ear of wheat that didn't look like an ear of wheat was quietly picked up, passed on by several people, and finally delivered to the white tiger woman.

The white tiger woman looked at the bunny girl holding the tray and asked, "Will the wheat ears given to you for ranking be returned to me?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know the details."

After the bunny girl finished speaking, the white tiger woman fell into long contemplation.

"Please put the wheat ears that you think are most valuable on the tray, and we will rank their value. If you don't put them, it will be regarded as a waiver and you will be eliminated." The bunny girl reminded kindly.

After a long time, the white tiger woman exhaled and placed the jeweled wheat ear she had obtained from the black horse woman on the tray.

The bunny girl bowed and left.

The white tiger woman looked at the wheat ear in her hand that didn't look like a wheat ear, and her eyes turned red.

The tabby cat girl looked at the tray in the bunny girl's hand and couldn't stop crying.

Sakakibara, who was wearing a white snake mask, frowned and said, "I'm sorry for putting you in danger. I'll return this ear of wheat to you." Then he handed the ear of wheat in his hand to the tabby cat girl and said, "If you are eliminated, let me be eliminated."

Although Sakakibara said this, he was unwilling to be eliminated in his heart. But if the tabby cat girl became the last one and the pink rabbit was chosen to enter the iron cage, the former prime minister's granddaughter would definitely die. He could not sit idly by and watch this situation.

"Who would you choose to put into the iron cage?" The tabby cat girl did not take the jeweled wheat ears from the white snake gentleman.

Sakakibara pursed his lips.

"I've noticed that you often look in the direction of the two bunny ladies. From your attitude when I asked you just now, it shows that you won't choose any of them. So who will you choose?" The tabby cat girl wiped the tears from her eyes. "You don't want to choose the dark horse, do you?"

Sakakibara looked at the woman sitting in the wheelchair in the corner.

The tabby cat girl continued, "Don't be fooled by her appearance. As far as I know, all the people who died in her room were invaders, and no one knows her true identity. Even her name, I think, is fake. If you choose someone else, you might get into trouble with some terrorist organization..."

Seeing that the tabby cat girl started crying again, Sakakibara handed her his handkerchief.

"And... and I don't have any organizational background. Even if I'm killed, no one will avenge me..." The tabby cat girl sobbed, "I... I shouldn't have come to this cruise ship..."

The tabby cat girl cried harder and harder.

"Are you okay?" The black goat man walked up to the tabby cat girl and showed her his two jeweled wheat ears. "Pick one. I know you don't want to be eliminated."

The tabby cat girl looked at the two ears of wheat lying in the hands of the black goat man and forgot to cry for a moment.

The black goat man smiled and said, "Let's continue to cooperate. I hope that we will be the only ones left in the end. In that case, just let me win in the end. As for the money you want, I will find a way to give it to you."

"You..." The tabby cat girl looked at the black goat man in surprise.

The black goat man rubbed his injured shoulder and said with a smile: "I need a partner. One person cannot achieve the final victory. Mr. White Snake, you think so too."

Sakakibara nodded slightly, and looked at the black goat man, understanding the information in each other's eyes.

However, the tabby cat girl hesitated, looked around, and lowered her voice and said, "You are not really a cop, are you? If you are, it will be dangerous."

The black goat man did not answer but asked: "Do you think I am a cop?"

"Yes." There was no hesitation in the words of the tabby cat. "Under that situation, no one except the police would be willing to step forward to save people, let alone to save competitors who are not related to them."

Sakaki Hara chuckled and said, "I am a doctor, and I have saved many people who are not my relatives or friends. If you judge me based on whether I saved people or not, it would be a bit biased."

The tabby cat lady was slightly stunned by what the white snake gentleman said, and rolled her eyes, "You weren't angry when I said you were a cop."

"I don't think there's anything to be angry about. What's more, I want to cooperate with you." The black goat man said calmly, "I don't have any organization behind me. I just hope to work together to achieve the final victory."

The tabby cat girl looked at the two men in front of her doubtfully and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are cops or not. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago." After that, she lowered her eyes, took an ear of wheat from the black goat man and placed it on the tray marked with the letter P.

"We are now a small team. For the sake of the final victory, you should save me." The tabby cat girl muttered softly, "I will share my intelligence with you. In exchange, I will leave my life to you."

"Okay." The black goat man agreed with a smile.

The tabby cat girl looked at the black goat man, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Sakakibara looked out the window and the dark night sky once again enveloped the cruise ship.

As night falls, the sea breeze whistles.

In full view of the crowd, the bunny girls holding trays stood in a row, and twenty-four trays were presented in alphabetical order in front of everyone.

Two trays were the most conspicuous. One contained the ordinary ear of wheat owned by the Gray Rabbit, and the other contained the jeweled ear of wheat that the Brown Bear had snatched from the Tabby Cat Girl. However, this ear of wheat had been dyed bright red with blood.

The white tiger woman held the wheat ears that the coyote had made before his death tightly in her palm and prayed silently.

The fat man Lily pinched the ears of wheat in his pocket, which he had originally intended for the mouse.

Mafia Karen, leaning on a blind stick, slowly turned her head and "looked" at each ear of wheat on the tray. The elk housekeeper beside her described the ears of wheat diligently and responsibly.

"My dear lady, the wheat ear that Miss Gray Rabbit handed in was just an ordinary wheat ear." The elk housekeeper glanced at the two protected Miss Rabbits and added, "It was the ordinary wheat ear with only a few grains. I guess she will be the last one."

However, the next second, the Elk housekeeper saw that her eldest daughter actually smiled. She frowned slightly in confusion, unable to figure out what the eldest daughter was thinking for a moment.

There was a discussion among the crowd: "The last one must be Gray Rabbit. She will definitely be eliminated. I have placed a heavy bet on her."

Someone joked: "Then you will become a billionaire immediately."

"It's too early to say this now. What if she wins the loser's revival match?" someone expressed a different opinion.

"Can she win with her small body? I don't believe it."

"I don't believe it either."

"Look!" someone pointed at the big screen and shouted, "The rankings are out!"

"what?!"

"This is impossible!"

"Oh hoo, this is going to be fun."

"It's over! I've lost everything!"

Mingyue looked at the list calmly. As expected, she was at the top. However, unexpectedly, the brown bear man was the last one.

The man with the red fox mask narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the gray rabbit, feeling a little uneasy. He thought that Ooka Momiji would be the first place, but he never expected that the first place would be the gray rabbit. What was so special about that ordinary ear of wheat?

"This is not fair!"

"Why does that ordinary guy deserve to be number one!?"

“And why is the one with so many diamonds ranked second from the bottom?”

Daliang picked up the second to last ear of wheat on the tray and said, "This ear of wheat looks very high-end, but in fact the metal part is just an ordinary alloy, and the diamonds are replaced with ordinary zircons."

"What a jeweler! He actually made a fake one!"

Daliang put the wheat ears back on the tray. "There are real and fake jewels in Room 1. This requires a pair of eyes that can distinguish the real from the fake."

"Then why can ordinary wheat ears rank first?!" someone questioned.

Someone speculated: "The reason why ordinary wheat ears are ranked first is that ordinary wheat ears are food. One wheat ear can grow a field of wheat ears. Wheat ears reproduce wheat ears indefinitely, so ordinary wheat ears must be the most valuable."

"If that's what you mean, then any ordinary ear of wheat is more expensive than those jeweled ears of wheat. What if there are two ordinary ears of wheat? How can ordinary ears of wheat be compared?"

“Then…then…” The person being scolded didn’t know how to explain for a moment, so he could only bite the bullet and say, “But no one except the gray rabbit chose the ordinary wheat ear, so your assumption is not valid.”

Just as everyone was talking, Daliang walked to the tray where Mingyue's ordinary ear of wheat was placed, reached out to pick up the ear of wheat, and gently crushed it with his fingers. The outer bran slowly fell off, revealing the golden ear of wheat. Each grain of wheat was a gem, flashing a colorful halo under the light.

All the truth is clear.

However, the brown bear man pointed at the list and asked, "Why am I the last one?"

"Because this ear of wheat is contaminated by blood." Daliang stood in front of the tray, looking at the wheat ear dyed red, and continued, "Some things can depreciate the value of originally high-priced items, and of course, they can also increase the value of originally low-priced items."

The brown bear man sneered but didn't say much.

The host Daliang looked at Mingyue and said, "Now, Miss Huitu, please choose someone who will be exempted from entering the loser's revival match with you."

The man in the red fox mask looked a little nervous, after all, he had targeted the gray rabbit before.

"I choose Miss Pink Bunny next to me." Mingyue looked at Ooka Hongye who was trembling in her arms because of what happened before.

Ooka Hongye only dared to open her eyes at this time and looked at the big screen, "Little Moon, you are so kind."

Mingyue smiled slightly and asked, "Isn't this what we agreed on?"

"Mr. Siamese Cat, thank you." Ooka Hongye lay in Mingyue's arms, as if only in this way could she feel at ease.

Mingyue raised her eyebrows and looked at Bourbon. Bourbon saw scrutiny and suspicion in Mingyue's eyes.

"Why, do you doubt that I will choose someone else?"

The man in the red fox mask looked at the gray rabbit, his expression becoming more and more solemn. He knew that the gray rabbit was talking to the Siamese cat, but he felt that the gray rabbit's words seemed to be reminding him.

However, Bourbon showed Mingyue a gentle smile and said softly: "No, I believe you."

Mingyue stared at Bourbon for a long time before adding, "I won't backstab my friends."

"Yeah, I know." Bourbon stared at Mingyue's eyes, as if recalling something.

The man in the red fox mask frowned.

The evil puppeteer wearing an owl mask glanced at the gray rabbit without saying a word, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The host Daliang's voice sounded again: "Next, we will have the loser's revival match. Mr. Brown Bear, please choose one of the remaining 21 participants with letter name tags to enter the iron cage with you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the iron cage creaked open by the bunny girl.

The brown bear man licked his lips with his scarlet tongue, and his eyes swept over everyone present. For a moment, the atmosphere was very tense...
