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

After walking a few steps, Ooka Hongye widened her eyes in surprise at the scene in front of her. The wheat ears under the spotlight were no longer ordinary wheat ears laden with fruits in the fields, nor were they flower arrangement artworks made of artificial spray paint, but jeweled wheat ears made of gold and silver.

Although they are not as big as ordinary ears of wheat, the price of any one of them is higher than the total value of all the ears of wheat seen before.

The golden or silver ears of wheat are inlaid with red and green jewels, reflecting the colorful halo.

If the previous one was a museum of wheat ears, then the scene in front of us can be called a palace of jewelry. The winding road seemed to have no end, and wheat ears made of gold, silver and jewelry were displayed on each booth.

Ooka Hongye stood still, looking at the wheat in her hand, she felt that it was worthless. Suddenly, an idea came to her, and her understanding of the two words seemed to be more profound.

"Value... jewel merchant..." Ooka Hongye murmured to herself, as if she had understood a lot in an instant, and let out a breath. If she had not resisted the temptation and chosen the ordinary ear of wheat, she might not have been able to choose the one here.

But which of these jeweled wheat ears is the most valuable? Ooka Hongye was in a dilemma for a moment.

The wheat ear on her left hand side is made of gold wire, with exquisite workmanship, and it is not difficult to know that it is expensive. The wheat ear on her right hand side, inlaid with gemstones, emits a beautiful colorful halo under the spotlight.

After walking a few steps forward, an ear of wheat strung with pearls appeared in front of Ooka Hongye, and before that she had just seen an ear of wheat carved from jade.

The road under your feet seems very long. There is a priceless ear of wheat on each display cabinet beside the road. How to evaluate the value and how to choose become difficult problems.

Ooka Hongye frowned. Although she owned many pieces of jewellery, she did not know how to evaluate them, let alone the price of each gemstone. She stopped in front of each display case, carefully examining each ear of jewellery that shone with dazzling light.

She walked forward step by step, not missing any display case. She thought she was almost at the end of the road. After all, the road was so long, and it was estimated that few people could persist until here without taking a wheat ear. Ooka Hongye regretted again that she did not resist the temptation and took an ordinary wheat ear. Otherwise, she should have been able to choose two jewelry wheat ears here.

Ooka Hongye looked at the road under her feet and it seemed that she was about to reach the end of the road.

Do you want to pick one to take away? Ooka Hongye stared at the jeweled wheat ears on the stand and examined them carefully. The seven gems and seven colors looked like a rainbow, beautiful and valuable.

But Ooka Hongye still walked away. She wanted to keep moving forward. She believed that the most valuable ear of wheat would definitely appear at the end of the road. After all, it should be the finale treasure and would not appear early.

Each jeweled wheat ear radiated brilliant light, as bright as stars. Ooka Hongye rubbed her eyes, she could no longer remember how many jeweled wheat ears she had seen.

I don't know how long I walked or how many turns I made. Suddenly, Ooka Hongye felt as if she had come to the starting point. The wheat ears on display were no longer jeweled wheat ears, but ordinary wheat ears grown from the soil, and they were much smaller than the wheat ears in her hand.

Ooka Hongye looked back and for a moment regretted not choosing one to take away.

At this moment, the wheat ears in front of her seemed to still carry the fragrance of the soil in the field, while the jeweled wheat ears behind her were still shining brightly under the spotlight, dazzling and intoxicating.

Ooka Hongye looked at the ordinary wheat ear in her hand again, regretting why she chose it. If she had made the choice a little later, it would have been better. At the same time, Ooka Hongye also wondered if she had made a mistake in her previous judgment. After all, how many jewels made into wheat ear shapes could there be? Even if she collected all the ones behind her, it would take a lot of effort.

After sorting out his lost mood, Ooka Hongye continued to move forward. On the display cabinets on both sides of the road were ordinary wheat ears. After seeing the jewel wheat ears, Ooka Hongye had no interest in these wheat ears.

Seeing an ear of wheat with only a dozen grains on it, I wondered if it was put there just to make up the number.

Ooka Hongye continued to move forward, and after turning a corner, she saw a booth with scissors, flamethrowers, gold thread, glue... and some other tools she couldn't name. She recalled the scissors she had held in her hand before, and became confused.

What are these things here for?

Ooka Momiji picked up each tool, checked it, and put it back in place. Holding the marker given by the Siamese cat in her hand, she continued to move forward thinking about her task.

I don't know how long I walked, how many turns I made, time, distance, and space all seemed to be distorted.

However, when Ooka Hongye encountered the jeweled wheat ears again, her original feeling of loss was swept away, replaced by excitement and excitement. She quickly came to the display case, looked at the jeweled wheat ears on the stand carefully, and guessed the value in her heart.

Finally, Ooka Hongye stopped in front of a display cabinet, and after thinking carefully for a long time, Ooka Hongye chose the ear of wheat in front of her.

Ooka Hongye felt her heart beating fast. She looked down at the arrow marked on the ground, took a deep breath, looked around, and when she looked up, she found the camera above her head and realized that all her actions were under surveillance.

The room was very quiet, and Ooka Hongye could hear her own breathing. Between the two options of going back and moving forward, Ooka Hongye took two steps back, holding the wheat ears, looked up at the camera pointed at her, waited for a while and didn't hear any prompt sound, then looked down at the wheat ears in her hand and continued to move forward.

The road in the room seemed very long, as if there was no end.

Everyone outside Room 1 was staring at the closed door. They were all curious about what kind of wheat ears the pink rabbit would bring out of the room.

It has been a long time since the Pink Rabbit went in, and those who wanted to form an alliance have basically found a partner.

Mingyue looked at Bourbon and whispered, "Do you think the wheat ears marked by Pink Rabbit are the most valuable?"

Bourbon looked at the tightly closed door of Room 1 and said in a deep voice, "I'm not sure, but we will find a way to ensure that you and Miss Pink Rabbit don't enter the cage."

"Do I have to mark it too?" The red fox masked man frowned, worried about Ooka Hongye who entered the room alone. "Mr. Siamese Cat will bring out the wheat ears marked by my lady as agreed. Will you mark them and let me go in to get them?"

Three bottles of whiskey were carefully considering the follow-up arrangements.

The red fox masked man continued, "Then I will mark it and let Miss Gray Rabbit take it. Miss Gray Rabbit will mark it and let Mr. Black Wolf take it. Mr. Black Wolf will mark it and let the last Mr. Gray Wolf take it. Even if my lady makes a mistake and fails to mark the most valuable ear of wheat, we can make up for it this way."

"Except for the pink rabbit and the Siamese cat, there are also the black wolf and the gray wolf. Even if the others have made marks, there are several people in between. These people may take away the marked wheat ears, or modify the marks we made, or even make our marks on some ordinary-looking wheat ears. The wheat ears we bring out may not be the ones selected by our companions." Mingyue looked at the man with the red fox mask.

Bourbon pondered for a moment and whispered, "We can make two kinds of marks, one that we think is the most valuable, and the other mark that we think is of medium value. The mark of medium value should be as far forward as possible, and the mark we make must be small and hidden..."

"No matter how well hidden it is, it will be discovered by someone with ulterior motives. It's not safe." Mingyue interrupted Bourbon and turned to look at the door of Room 1. "So this marking plan is not suitable for everyone."

The red fox masked man frowned, looked at the gray rabbit, and repeated the rules of the game in his mind several times. In their small group of six, only he and the gray rabbit could not be connected, and the black wolf and the gray wolf were ranked at the back. He was worried that when it was the turn of the two wolf gentlemen, the most valuable wheat ears would have been picked by others. After that...

The man with the red fox mask looked at the bloodstained iron cage. It was such a small cage. If the other party tried to kill her, Ooka Momiji and she... The man with the red fox mask closed his eyes. He didn't dare to think any further.

Scotland noticed something was wrong with the red fox masked man and said softly, "Let's wait for Miss Pink Rabbit to come out first. We don't know what's in the room. Maybe the situation is not as bad as we think."

The man in the red fox mask looked at Gray Wolf and gathered his thoughts. "May I ask, what is your relationship with Miss Gray Rabbit? If it's inconvenient, you don't have to tell me."

Zhu Fu Jingguang blinked, knowing that he was suspected by the man in the red fox mask, but how to explain it now? Zero and Mingyue are both mixed-blood, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are brother and sister. Lei was originally in love with Mingyue's sister, so it is right for him to take care of Mingyue, but what identity should I use?

Bourbon's fingers gathered slightly, and after feeling the pain at the base of his thumb, he slowly loosened his fingers, glancing at Lei who still had a cold face, his heart pounding in his chest. Neither he nor Hiro could tell the red fox masked man their true identities, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Scotland was thinking frantically about the answer in his mind. He knew that if he claimed to be Mingyue's brother, it would be a bit strange and would arouse suspicion. Red Fox should have already suspected him. If he said he was Mingyue's brother's friend, would Lei think that he, a sniper in the action team, was too close to the intelligence team?

Lei glanced at Scotland. He originally thought Mingyue would call Scotland "brother", but he didn't expect Mingyue to take the initiative to hold the hand of Bourbon, a member of the intelligence team. Moreover, Bourbon had secretly investigated Mingyue before, but...

Recalling what happened not long ago, Lei glanced at Bourbon's hands wrapped in gauze. He was unable to make an accurate judgment for a moment, but Bourbon's hostility towards him seemed to increase.

"He is my little cake brother, who can make lots and lots of little cakes." Before Scotland could think of how to say it, Mingyue answered first, her lark-like voice mixed with a hint of joy.

The red fox masked man nodded thoughtfully and looked at the gray wolf. "I see, he seems to be a very gentle person."

It turned out to be Gray Rabbit's slightly older male friend. The man in the red fox mask thought so in his heart, and looked at Gray Wolf a few more times. Seeing that he was normal, he withdrew his gaze.

Just as Scotland was about to say something, the door of Room 1 was opened.

All the people who were waiting outside the door gathered together.

The brown bear man was clicking his fingers, seeming to be planning something.

Members of the Apocalypse Cult, wrapped in black robes, walked quickly towards them.

The man in the red fox mask felt something was wrong and quickly came to the door. Mingyue and the three bottles of whiskey were not slow either and followed closely behind.

Ooka Hongye walked out slowly, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but tremble.

However, everyone stared at the ears of wheat in the pink rabbit's hand. Just as they expected, they were just two ordinary ears of wheat. They did not look very big, and one of them seemed to be only half.

Ooka Momiji's heart was pounding with nervousness, but fortunately, Huitu and his group protected her.

The man in black robe wanted to get closer to the pink rabbit, but was stopped by the man in the red fox mask.

Ooka Hongye hugged Mingyue in fear and hid behind her.

Suddenly, Mingyue felt something strange behind her waist. She turned her head to look at Hongye, reached behind her back, and hid the thing that Ooka Hongye handed over into her sleeve.

A sweet voice suddenly sounded, making everyone's hair stand on end. Lily, with a beard, pretended to be gentle and whispered, "What's inside little sister?"

"There are wheat ears in there, all kinds of them." Ooka Hongye shrank behind Mingyue.

Lei stood in front of the two rabbit ladies.

Everyone looked as if they understood what was going on. After all, the name of the game was Socrates' Wheat Ears. No matter how outrageous it was, it couldn't deviate too far. The core of the game was how to get the most valuable wheat ears.

Therefore, everyone's focus shifted from the pink rabbit to how to select the largest or most valuable one from the many ears of wheat, and some people began to discuss cooperation methods and game strategies.

Bourbon squatted down and asked quietly, "How many marks have been made?"

"Only two." Ooka Hongye's voice was only slightly louder than a mosquito.

"Yeah." Bourbon looked at the door of Room 1 and prepared to get up.

Mingyue reached out and quickly grabbed Bourbon's collar to stop his action, then raised her hand to reveal the golden ear of wheat inlaid with diamonds hidden in her sleeve.

Bourbon's breathing hitched slightly, he knew the game couldn't be that simple.

Seeing this, the others gathered together, trying to use their bodies to block the occasional glances from others.

"This is not the most valuable." Ooka Hongye said nervously.

Mingyue handed the ordinary wheat ears in Ooka Hongye's hand to Bourbon, and raised her voice a few notches, "Take these two wheat ears in as a reference. The ones you bring out should be at least bigger than this."

Bourbon guessed Mingyue's intention, laughed, reached out to take it, slowly stood up, and prepared to enter Room 1 with the wheat ear.

Ooka Hongye still held Mingyue's arm, looked up at the red fox masked man, and whispered: "I... I think those two are the most valuable... I don't know if the evaluation is accurate..."

"I believe you." Bourbon smiled and slowly walked into room 1.

After passing through the dark red door curtain, the smile on Bourbon's face disappeared. He looked up at the camera hanging above his head, then lowered his eyes to look at the arrow on the floor indicating the direction, and walked forward slowly...
