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

Mingyue listened to the strong heartbeat behind her and lowered her eyes slightly. This is about to be discovered, what should I do? Mr. Red Fox, those gamblers will flock to me when they see me.

The man in the red fox mask looked around. There was no fork in the long and narrow corridor, and the target room was still a long way away.

The voices in front were getting closer and closer, and the footsteps behind were getting closer and closer. Breaking through by force was not a good idea, and it was likely to attract more people.

But if I let the gray rabbit run away now, I don’t know when I will catch her next time. If I can’t solve the mystery in my heart, I will probably have trouble sleeping and eating.

When the man with the red fox mask looked around for a solution, his eyes suddenly lit up. He took two quick steps and came to a door. He whispered "Don't make any noise" again and then released his hand that was covering the gray rabbit's mouth.

Mingyue saw him take out a playing card from his pocket, insert it into the crack of the door, and push it hard, using the playing card to open the lock. Then he grasped the door handle and pulled hard, and the door opened.

The noise made during this period seemed to attract the attention of the two teams in front and behind.

Mingyue pricked up her ears and heard the footsteps and conversations getting closer and closer, and looked towards the storage room where cleaning supplies were piled up.

The utility room was small and windowless, cluttered with cleaning tools and tall shelves filled with disposable toiletries and buckets of cleaning fluids.

"Hide here and don't make any noise." The man with the red fox mask put down Mingyue and looked around.

Mingyue's feet touched the ground, and she took two steps back, distanced herself from the red fox masked man, and asked tentatively: "There should be enough space for two people to hide here."

However, the man in the red fox mask had no such plan. Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, he frowned and thought: If the two parties meet here and can't find the source of the noise, they will probably open the utility room to check. However, the utility room is small, so it is very difficult to escape, and even if they fight back, it will be limited.

"I'll find a way to lure them away, you hide yourself." The man in the red fox mask checked the door lock and found that the door needed a key to open from both the outside and the inside. He felt relieved, turned around and walked out of the utility room, closing the door.

The metal lock tongue popped out with a slight sound.

The man in the red fox mask pulled the door handle to make sure the door was locked, took out a few playing cards and hid them in his palm, then quickly moved away from the utility room and found an open place to stand.

The noisy footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it seemed that there were quite a few people coming over.

The man in the red fox mask glanced at the utility room in the distance, retracted his gaze, and threw a few playing cards on the ground. When he bent down to pick up the playing cards, the two groups of people arrived at the same time.

The gamblers noticed the man in the red fox mask picking up the cards, but no one came forward to talk to him.

The tall gambler coming from the direction of the stairs spoke first: "Did you find the gray rabbit over there?"

"No." The man who answered moved his gaze from the man in the red fox mask who was picking up the cards to the tall gambler's face.

The tall gambler's eyes darkened slightly, "You guys didn't look for it seriously, did you?"

"Sir! We have searched carefully and almost sifted the dust. This time, when we heard the faint footsteps, we rushed over immediately. No, we didn't expect to meet you, sir." The man who spoke had a flattering smile on his face.

The tall gambler looked away in disgust and glanced at the utility room beside him. "Have you checked here?"

The man in the red fox mask picked up the last card on the ground, inserted it into the poker deck, shuffled the cards casually, and stared at the tall gambler out of the corner of his eye.

"Sir, the utility room door cannot be opened without a key. The keys are carried by several waiters and are not lent to anyone. If you want to open the door, you can only call them."

The tall gambler who was in the lead reached out and grabbed the door handle, twisted it hard, and pulled it, but the door didn't move at all.

"I asked the waiter to open it under the pretext of changing the sheets. It was narrow and crowded, and there were so many things in it that it was impossible to hide anyone. The gray rabbit couldn't be in there."

Another gambler added: "Yes, yes. We checked every utility room on this floor, and the doors of the utility rooms can only be opened with a key, whether from the inside or the outside."

"Without the key, I can't get in or out?" the tall gambler muttered to himself.

The gamblers who were searching for the gray rabbit on the seventh floor nodded.

The man in the red fox mask breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the tall gambler take his hand away from the door handle. He suddenly said in a cold voice: "If you find the gray rabbit, tell me."

The tall gambler in the lead was stunned at first, then he walked up to the man in the red fox mask with a smile, "Mr. Red Fox, are you also looking for Miss Gray Rabbit?"

"Of course." The red fox masked man's voice was filled with endless chill, "Those who schemed against me will always have to pay the price."

Mingyue, who was hiding behind the door, naturally heard this and her eyes rolled.

The gamblers around looked at each other, gathered around the man in the red fox mask, and pricked up their ears with a curious look on their faces. They loved listening to these stories of calculation and betrayal the most.

The red fox masked man's sharp eyes swept through the crowd and glanced towards the utility room. However, there were too many people around him, blocking the door of the utility room. Although he felt a little uneasy, he still said in a cold voice: "Of course, if you can let me catch her, there will be a lot of benefits."

The eyes of the gamblers around lit up.

The tall gambler showed a trace of anxiety on his face, but he quickly concealed it.

One gambler asked cautiously, "How much can you give?"

Another gambler echoed: "There are many people who want the gray rabbit."

The man with the red fox mask had dark eyes and took out a few black cards from his pocket. Someone stretched out his hand to grab them, but the man with the red fox mask dodged.

Then a poker card flew past, crossed the face of the gambler who wanted to grab the black card, and embedded deeply in the wall far away from the utility room.

"what!"

A scream attracted everyone's attention, and everyone saw that the palm of the gambler who snatched the black card was cut and bleeding.

Everyone took a step back, no longer daring to look down on the man wearing the red fox mask by relying on their numbers.

The tall gambler saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "He has never seen a black card, please be generous..."

The red fox masked man glanced at him coldly, "Notify me immediately if you have any news about Gray Rabbit."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The tall gambler took two steps back, turned around and instructed the gamblers around him, "Did you hear me? Go find it quickly!"

"immediately!"

The surrounding gamblers dispersed and quickly disappeared from the sight of the man in the red fox mask.

"We've found it, and we'll definitely let you know." The tall gambler bent over and backed away little by little. He saw the poker cards in the hand of the man with the red fox mask, swallowed nervously, and when he saw that the other party didn't move, he quickly fled.

The man with the red fox mask stood there for a long time, listened to the movements around him, walked slowly to the door of the utility room, opened the door with a playing card, and his pupils suddenly dilated. The figure of Gray Rabbit disappeared in the narrow room.

He walked quickly into the room, flipped through the sheets and quilts, checked every shelf, and chuckled.

The rabbit ran away. It seems I underestimated her.

The man in the red fox mask walked out of the utility room, closed the door again, lowered his eyes to look at the marks on the floor, trying to find clues of Gray Rabbit's departure, but there were only sporadic bloodstains and messy footprints on the thick carpet.

At the same time, Bourbon, who was looking for Mingyue everywhere, was stopped by the evil puppeteer.

"Mr. Siamese Cat, can I spare you a few minutes?"
