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

"Don't make any noise," a deep voice sounded beside Mingyue's ears, "someone is coming."

Mingyue struggled twice, but was restrained even tighter, so she had no choice but to give up. Then, she heard a series of hurried footsteps.

Then, a deep and hoarse middle-aged male voice came, "Where are the people?"

"I did see the gray rabbit, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye." The person who said this spoke quickly and urgently, as if something bad would happen if he spoke a second later.

"Ok?"

"It must be another inflatable doll!"

"Ha!" The middle-aged man sneered, "Inflatable doll."

"She must be hiding in a nearby corner. I, I will definitely find her! I will definitely get the chips back. Once I get them back, I will return them to you immediately."

The imprisoned Mingyue heard that the middle-aged man was the one lending money in the casino, and the one looking for her everywhere was probably a gambler who always thought he could turn the tables but ended up owing more and more.

As for why they surrounded me everywhere, they just thought I was easy to bully and could get back the chips they bet on from me. Mingyue glanced at the man who covered her mouth and struggled slightly. She felt the force of the restraint was getting stronger and stronger. She gave up the idea of ​​escaping from him at this time. She sighed in her heart for her carelessness, but then she remembered that foxes are actually canids, just like wolves.

In the distance, Sakakibara, who was originally preparing to contact the man with the red fox mask, happened to see the gray rabbit trying to escape but being kidnapped by the man with the red fox mask. Hiding in the corner, he didn't know what to do for a moment, and now those gamblers who were looking for the gray rabbit were still searching frantically, and sooner or later they would find their hiding place.

"Are you still looking? What time is it now? We've been arguing all night, can't you let us rest?" Sakakibara said in a cold tone, and swept his face across the group of gamblers with a sneer.

A gambler stiffened his neck and looked at the White Snake gentleman with a defiant look on his face, "We are just doing our business, who cares about you..."

Snapped!

A slap landed on the head of the gambler who was stiffening his neck. The gambler slowly turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, his eyes full of astonishment and horror.

"Sorry to bother you." The middle-aged man's low and hoarse voice was full of cautious temptation. He had been in the casino for too many years and knew what kind of people he could offend and what kind of people he couldn't offend. Although he didn't know what kind of background the man wearing the white snake mask had, anyone who could get a letter name tag was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Sakakibara glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently.

"Excuse me, have you seen Gray Rabbit? We have something to discuss with her." The middle-aged man had a smile on his face, looking like he was willing to negotiate anything.

"Didn't see it."

"I really saw the gray rabbit coming this way..." The gambler who said this felt two sharp gazes falling on him, and he suddenly fell silent, not daring to say another word.

The middle-aged man noticed the displeasure of the White Snake gentleman, rolled his eyes and smiled, "It should be an inflatable doll, in that case, we should go to the other side. Sorry to bother you."

After saying that, the middle-aged man took his people away.

Mingyue lowered her eyes and thought, listening to the noisy footsteps gradually fading away and the surroundings returning to silence.

Sakakihara looked normal, but his back was soaked with sweat. He was not afraid of these gamblers, but was too nervous. Sakakihara knew they were hiding in a corner not far from him, but he could not turn around. He could only walk to his door with heavy steps, open the door, enter the room, close the door, lean against the door, and exhale a foul breath.

The room was dark, the heavy curtains were drawn tightly, not allowing any sunlight to penetrate.

In the silent corridor, the man in the red fox mask poked his head out slightly. Seeing no one around, he slowly loosened his hand that was covering the gray rabbit's mouth and said, "Those people want to catch you."

Mingyue took a deep breath and struggled a few times, but the other party had no intention of loosening the shackles. "I know. Can you let me go now?"

The red fox masked man was silent for a moment, as if trying to learn something from the gray rabbit. "Why are you on the sixth floor alone?"

"Aren't you also on the sixth floor?" Mingyue's eyes rolled around, and the corners of her mouth curled up. "Or are you ambushing me? Like those gamblers, you want to plunder my chips?"

The man in the red fox mask stared at the gray rabbit without saying anything.

There are some things that the man with the red fox mask will not tell Gray Rabbit. For example, after sending Ooka Momiji to the lifeboat, he began to look for Gray Rabbit, but found that the tabby cat girl with suspicious behavior had been wandering nearby for a long time, so he hid there, but he didn't expect to meet the lone Gray Rabbit.

When the gray rabbit saw him, it was stunned at first, then turned around and ran away. But how could he miss this opportunity? He reached out and caught this gray rabbit that was very good at escaping. As a result, the noise he made attracted the attention of those gamblers. If it weren't for Iori's help, he might have to use force to escape.

Mingyue felt uneasy when being stared at by the man in the red fox mask. Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, she whispered, "Now that there's no one around, you can let me go. Tell me how many chips you want and I'll give them to you."

"They are looking for you." The man in the red fox mask was alert to the movements around him.

Mingyue naturally knew that the "they" in the red fox masked man's mouth were referring to the three bottles of whiskey. She struggled uneasily for a moment, but did not dare to make too much noise.

"They are them, and I am me. You don't want to hand me over to them, do you?" Mingyue saw that the red fox masked man didn't speak, and her heart skipped a beat. "Don't hand me over to them, and everything else will be easy to talk about."

"Oh?"

At this moment, Mingyue couldn't guess what the man in the red fox mask wanted to do, and the shackles on his body were still intact. If he tried his best to break free, he would probably make a noise, and then it would be even more troublesome when those gamblers came around.

However, the man in the red fox mask moved. He walked out from the shadows in the corner with the gray rabbit, alert to the movements around him, and walked towards the stairwell.

Mingyue lowered her voice and asked, "Where are you taking me?" The next second, her mouth was covered by a warm big hand. Mingyue gritted her teeth and was about to open her mouth to bite the man, but her mouth was covered more tightly, making it difficult to breathe.

"Don't talk." The man in the red fox mask took the gray rabbit and walked carefully to the seventh floor.

At this time, the bright sunshine shone through the clouds onto the sea, causing ripples on the water surface, sparkling. Those were moving light and shadows, like dreamy scales, covering up the unknown horror beneath the sea.

The tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji, who was sitting by the window in the main restaurant on the fifth floor, was feeling nervous. She was supposed to wait for the gray rabbit at the designated location, but she met the man in front of her - the big-backed baboon.

"We've finished our meal, what are you thinking about now?"

The tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji picked up a tissue and gently wiped his mouth, "Gray Rabbit's information?"

"Yes." The big-backed baboon stared at the tabby cat girl across the table, "This shouldn't be a difficult task for you, right? As for the price..."

A blank check appeared in front of the tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji.

The baboon tapped the blank space on the check with his thick fingers twice. "Fill it in yourself, but the information must be true."

The tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji picked up the check, looked at it carefully, smiled, folded the check smaller, and put it in his arms, "Hey, the information I provided is all true, how could I sell false information."

"I hope what you said is true." The big-backed baboon stood up, walked to the side of the tabby cat girl, bent down, and whispered in her ear, "Otherwise, you will know what it means to live a life worse than death."

The smile on the face of the tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji froze. Although the breath beside her ears was hot, she felt as if she was immersed in cold sea water. A wave hit her, and she sank straight to the bottom of the sea.

When she came to her senses, the baboon had already left.

Outside the window was still the sparkling sea. Suddenly, a fish jumped out of the water, flew in the air for a while, and then fell into the sea, never to be seen again.

wow——

"Who! Ah~" Kogoro Mouri was awakened by a basin of cold water. He widened his eyes and looked at the bearded pirate holding a whip in front of him.

"Tell me, where is the gem? Is it on that woman?"

Ace stood up with difficulty. Although he was tied up by ropes, he still moved in front of Maori Kogoro little by little, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Snapped!

The whip hit Ace, but Ace endured the severe pain and stood in front of Kogoro Mori without retreating.

"Don't hit him!" Kogoro Mouri was anxious and tried to get up. However, his wrists and ankles were tied to his waist with ropes. Even if his muscles were strong, he couldn't exert any strength.

The bearded pirate glanced at Maori Kogoro and raised his eyebrows. "It's okay if you don't want me to fight him. Hand over the gem and I'll kill you."

"Gemstone?!" Maori Kogoro was filled with thoughts, "How do you know about gemstones?"

The bearded pirate laughed wildly, and the pirates around him also laughed.

"Aren't you on the lifeboat of the Augus cruise ship? Don't we know about Kirima Soichi, a famous jewel merchant?"

Maori Kogoro guessed that the bearded pirate in front of him was their leader, Blackbeard, and said calmly: "Even if we are on the lifeboat of the Kirima family, we may not have gems in our hands."

"Oh, it's true that you won't cry until you see the coffin." The bearded pirate waved the whip in his hand, and the surrounding pirates picked out a trembling man from the crowd.

Maori Kogoro didn't recognize this man, but judging from his clothes, he should be from the lifeboat that chased them before, which means he is from the Kirima family. However, this man is not very old, about the same age as Ace, but his skin is darker than Ace, and his clothes are wet.

The wet young man pointed at Maori Kogoro and said, "He is a distinguished guest of the Kirima family. He took away the most valuable Kashmir Star."

“The Star of Kashmir?”

The young man was trembling all over. He seemed to be afraid that the bearded pirate didn't know the significance of the gem, so he quickly added, "It's a cornflower sapphire weighing about 19.88 carats. It's quite valuable. Many people want it, but Kirigen Soichi didn't even bid for it."

Ace's eyes widened as he looked at the man who was carried out like a chicken by the pirates. His face was filled with shock. He thought of what Gus said before he died. Tears welled up in his eyes. "You?! Why would it be you?! Why did you betray us!"

"Betrayal, what is betrayal? I am like a wise bird choosing a tree to inhabit, and a wise minister choosing a master to serve."

Ace shook his head in disbelief, "Pry! We grew up together, and you..."

The man called Pri was trembling all over. He looked down at Ace and said, "I advise you to hand over the gem as soon as possible. The sooner you die, the sooner you can be reborn."

An older pirate came hurriedly and whispered something in the bearded pirate's ear. The bearded pirate glanced at Pry with a gloomy look.

Just with this one glance, Pu Lai was frightened.

The bearded pirate said in a cold voice, "We searched the entire lifeboat, but we didn't find the gem you mentioned."

"I, I definitely didn't lie to you. The priceless sapphire is in their possession, and that woman hasn't been caught yet, right?" Pry glanced at Maori Kogoro lying on the ground, "I know that woman is his wife. As long as we torture him..."

Ace swallowed nervously and shouted urgently, "No!"

The bearded pirate raised the whip and whipped Ace with a crisp sound.

Kogoro Mori wanted to break free from the ropes, but how could that be possible? He could only move a little bit at a time. He wanted to block the young sailor Ace, but he couldn't do it at all.

Ace spat out the blood foam in his mouth, looked at his former playmate, Pri, and said with a smile: "Your new monarch wants you to kill him, right? If you can't kill him, then prepare to kill someone with a borrowed knife to complete your mission."

Prie's body was shaking more and more. He didn't know if it was because of the cold, or because he was angry, or maybe because he was nervous because someone had said something to him. He pointed at Ace's nose and said, "You, you are talking nonsense and slandering me!"

"Slander?" Ace sneered, "You already know they are husband and wife. If the husband dies, will his brave and invincible wife let anyone here go? I'm afraid she will try to die with you."

The bearded pirate narrowed his eyes slightly as he thought about what happened during the night.

His men climbed onto the lifeboat along the ropes. With the cockpit surrounded by people, the woman in black leather pulled the trigger without hesitation. Although his pirates were all experienced and quickly found shelter, the number of casualties continued to increase.

They only captured the two men, but the woman slipped away right under their noses.

This was on the sea, and the bearded pirate didn't believe that the woman could grow wings and fly, but his men searched everywhere but didn't find even a single hair.

Could it be that she fell into the sea and was eaten by fish? The bearded pirate shook his head and threw this ridiculous idea out of his mind. He squatted in front of Maori Kogoro, raised Maori Kogoro's chin with a whip, and said coldly: "Your woman hurt many of my brothers, I will definitely not let her go."

Maori Kogoro knew that Rose would never risk her life for him, but Blackbeard didn't know about this. "You've seen how powerful she is. If you hurt me, she won't let you go."

Ace echoed from the side: "Yes, if you hurt him, you won't be able to get the gem, and you might even die in her hands."

The bearded pirate looked at Ace, whose mouth was still bleeding, doubtfully, and slowly stood up. "Keep an eye on them, and the rest of you keep looking. I don't believe we can't find that woman." After that, he turned and left.

The fragmented sunlight dances and sparkles on the sea surface. The boundless sea surface connects with the sky, and there is no visible boundary.

There were a few thick clouds floating in the clear sky, and the sea breeze pushed them across the sky. Sometimes the clouds blocked the sun, casting a large dark shadow on the sea.

White waves were surging at the stern of the Augsius cruise ship, and its towering chimney was spewing out billowing smoke. No one knew where its destination was.

The man in the red fox mask was not at an easy time. He had to be alert to gamblers who might appear at any time, while preventing the gray rabbit in his arms from escaping. He finally walked through the long and narrow stairs and came to the seventh floor. However, he heard the voices of gamblers talking in front of him and a series of footsteps behind him.

Are these dumplings?
