The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

Everyone looked at him in disbelief. Xie Ran continued:

“There seems to be a pattern to the sum of the first letters of our deceased people’s names in the 26 letters of the English alphabet.

The first person to die was Liu Jia.

The first letter of the Chinese character 'Liu' is 'L', which is the 12th one. The first letter of the Chinese character 'J' is 'J', which is the 10th one. The sum of the two is 22.

The second person to die was Lin Yue. The first letter of the Chinese character "林" is 'L', which is the 12th letter, and the first letter of the Chinese character "跃" is 'Y', which is the 25th letter. The sum is 37.

The third person to die was Zhou Min. The first letter of the Chinese character 'Zhou' is 26th in Pinyin, and the first letter of the Chinese character 'Min' is 13th in Pinyin, so the sum is 39.

The fourth person to die was Tao Teng. The first letter of the Chinese character Tao is T, which is the 20th one. The first letter of the Chinese character Teng is also T, which is 20th one. The total is 40.”

After hearing this, everyone was shocked. Some people were terrified, and some began to calculate the number added up by the first letters of their names, worried that they would become the next target.

Tao Teng's death plunged everyone into deeper fear. Someone said in a trembling voice:

"I calculated that the sum of my initials is 40.

Could it be that I am next?"

Another person turned pale and stammered, "My sum is 41. What should I do?"

Others cried out in despair: "What is going on? Why is this happening? Is it possible that we can't escape this?" For a moment, the hall was filled with words of fear and helplessness.

"This pattern is so scary. Could it be that the murderer really kills people according to this pattern?" Someone raised this question, but no one could answer him.

"No, we can't just sit there and wait to die!" A slightly calmer man shouted, but his own eyes were also filled with fear and confusion.

Everyone was talking at the same time, and the whole hall was in chaos.

Just as people were in panic and confusion, someone suddenly said:

"I'm hungry. Aren't you hungry? We didn't eat anything yesterday at noon or at night."

This reminder made many people feel hungry and they all agreed.

Some people proposed:

"Or let's team up and go to the kitchen to find something to eat." But most people looked hesitant. After all, no one dared to leave the group easily.

Finally, some people decided to go to the kitchen to find food, while others stayed in the hall and dared not move.

Xie Xuan'an, Su Yi and Xie Ran were also in the team heading to the kitchen. The kitchen was pitch dark, and everyone could only look around with the light of their low-battery cell phones.

After a lot of effort, they found some ingredients and canned food that could be eaten raw, some cooked ingredients that could be eaten after thawing in the refrigerator, and a few packets of instant noodles.

As soon as everyone saw the food, they immediately swarmed over and started grabbing it.

Two people were fighting over a pack of instant noodles, neither of them giving in.

The tour guide hurried forward to dissuade him:

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!

The fighting we are doing now is simply an internal conflict. How do you think those murderers who murdered us will view this?

He might be secretly enjoying himself somewhere. If we kill our own people, he won't have to kill us. He won't do that just for a little food!"

After being persuaded by the tour guide, the two men finally let go of each other's hands and angrily took some food each.

Xie Xuan'an grabbed several packs of instant noodles and two cans of food, and Xie Ran and Su Yi also grabbed a lot of food.

Without hesitation, they both gave half of the food they had grabbed to Xie Xuan'an.

Xie Xuan'an was deeply touched for a moment and thanked him repeatedly, but he refused.

"You guys eat your fill first, I'm not hungry."

Then they returned to the hall with their food.

Everyone sat on their mats on the floor and began to eat voraciously.

Although the hall was filled with the sound of chewing food, everyone's eyes were still filled with fear and anxiety, and they didn't know when this terrible situation would end.

Xie Ran's whole body was shaking violently like a sieve. Xie Xuan'an hugged him tightly with pity and comforted him softly:

"Ran Ran, don't be afraid, I'm here and I will never let you get hurt."

Su Yi, who was standing aside, had a look of panic and helplessness in his eyes, his body leaning forward slightly, as if longing for the same comfort.

Xie Xu'an pulled him into his arms helplessly, as if he had telepathy, and said in a gentle but firm tone:

"Don't be afraid, both of you, rest assured that I will do my best to protect you."

Su Yi cried out with guilt:

"Xuan, it's all my fault. When the tourist village was equipped with yachts, I strongly advocated that we come here to play together. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't be in such a terrible situation."

Xie Xuan patted his back and comforted him:

"It's not your fault. Don't let your imagination run wild."

Xie Xuan'an lowered his head and concentrated on comforting the two of them.

When I looked up inadvertently, my eyes met with a man.

The man's eyes were a strange golden color, with a creepy cold light, strange and eerie.

Xie Xuan'an's heart suddenly shook, and he instantly remembered that this figure was exactly the same as the man in sunglasses he had seen before.

His body froze instantly, and a chill ran down his spine as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. Xie Xuan swallowed hard, pretending to be calm, and continued to comfort the two people in his arms as if nothing had happened.

He quietly observed his surroundings with the corner of his eye, and when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but gasp.

The body shapes of some of the tourists who came before had changed significantly. Some of them were originally about 1.7 meters tall, but now they seemed to have suddenly grown taller, almost 1.8 meters tall.

However, the people around seemed unaware and were still immersed in their own fear and panic.

Obviously, an undercover agent had infiltrated here at some point, and the people who were replaced are now in an unknown state of life or death. Perhaps they have already been thrown into the vast ocean and become food for fish.

After all, they were drifting on the boundless ocean, isolated and helpless, and full of dangers.

Just as everyone was still immersed in this horrific murder and had not yet recovered from their shock, the weather outside suddenly became extremely bad.

The wind was howling, creating huge waves that hit the yacht violently.

For a moment, there were lightning, thunder, wind and rain.

You can hear it on the yacht.

The yacht swayed violently from side to side on the rough sea, like a toy out of control. Everyone was thrown around by the sudden turbulence, and screams and cries filled the entire space.

Objects flew everywhere and the noise of collision was terrifying.

Some people were hit and had blood on their heads, while others held tightly to whatever they could find, their eyes filled with despair.

In this chaos, Xie Xuan'an held Xie Ran and Su Yi tightly. The veins on his arms bulged as he used all his strength to prevent them from being thrown out.

Xie Ran and Su Yi's faces were filled with fear, but under Xie Xuan'an's firm protection, they felt deeply comforted.

"Don't be afraid! Hold on to me!" Xie Xuan'an shouted loudly, his voice almost drowned out by the wind, rain and noise.

At this moment, the yacht seemed to be swallowed by the sea at any time, and its fate became unpredictable.
