Chapter 343 Infection Game [VI] Suspicion

The elk housekeeper looked at the parrot girl who was about to come into contact with Miss Gray Rabbit beside the crystal ball, with an unremovable gloom in her eyes.

Before this, she had never thought that such a thing would happen, and she didn't even believe what the raccoon man said at the beginning. She thought they just couldn't stand each other, so they threw dirty water on each other.

"Hu——" The elk housekeeper exhaled a breath, adjusted her breathing rate, slowly turned around and prepared to return to the eldest lady.

At this moment, she hadn't decided whether to tell the eldest daughter about this matter. If the eldest daughter knew about it, she would be very sad. But it seemed even worse if she didn't tell anyone. But was it appropriate to tell them now?

The elk housekeeper looked up at the eldest lady leaning on the chair, and was surprised to find that the eldest lady had her eyes closed. Suddenly, her heart beat wildly for no reason.

She took a deep breath, walked lightly, and stood beside the young lady, wondering if she was tired, but it didn't matter that it was okay this way.

The Elk Housekeeper's fingertips unconsciously stroked her cufflinks, trying to calm her pounding heart.

The waves hit the side of the ship again and again, and the muffled sound echoed in the cabin.

The cruise ship returned to normal.

The raccoon man appeared at the door of Room 3. After looking around, he slowly walked to the side of the elk housekeeper, glanced at the eldest lady who seemed to be resting with her eyes closed, and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure about that?"

"Do your own job well, and don't ask questions that are not your responsibility." The elk housekeeper's voice was low and hoarse, and her words were full of warnings.

"Okay, I won't ask." The raccoon man looked towards the crystal ball and shrugged. "Anyway, I've already done what you asked me to do. If she's slandering me..."

The elk housekeeper glared at the raccoon man with sharp eyes, "I will also find a way to find out whether you are a NOC."

The raccoon man raised his lips slightly and nodded, "Well, I feel relieved when you say that. Do you want me to think of a way to infect a few more people?"

"Don't do anything unnecessary." The Elk Housekeeper warned sternly.

"Okay." The raccoon man agreed and looked around, but his sight fell on the man wearing a black wolf mask in the crowd. A dark look flashed in his eyes.

Mafia Karen heard the two people's whispered discussion beside her, but still did not open her eyes. Pictures kept flashing in her mind as she recalled the scenes she had "seen" before.

Tens of minutes ago.

After the Parrot Girl refused to contact the Elk Housekeeper and turned into a zombie, she went to the crystal ball alone and contacted the participants wantonly, causing everyone's displeasure.

The raccoon man bent down and said to Mafia Karen respectfully, "Miss, there are some things I want to discuss with you alone. Can you give me a chance?"

"Is it about her?" Mafia Karen looked towards the crystal ball with her empty eyes.

The raccoon man turned to look at the parrot girl who had angered everyone and whispered, "Yes."

Mafia Karen's face gradually darkened, a complex expression flashed across his brows, and he slowly spoke, "She has been with me since she was a child..."

However, the words stopped abruptly, like a tape that suddenly got stuck, and Mafia Karen was unable to utter another word for a long time. The raccoon man waited quietly for a long time, but he never got the second half of the sentence.

"There are a lot of people around you, but are they sincere to you?" The raccoon man looked into Mafia Karen's empty eyes and lowered his voice to continue, "I don't think so. However, there are too many people here to talk, so why don't we find a secluded place and have a good chat."

Mafia Karen frowned and his expression became extremely ugly.

For a moment, the air around them seemed to freeze. The gamblers' noise and bustle had nothing to do with them. Deathly silence spread among them.

Mingyue drank the strawberry juice in small sips, her eyes wandering over these people.

The elk housekeeper suddenly spoke, breaking the silence, "Miss, how about I talk to him and hear what he has to say." After saying that, the elk housekeeper glanced at the raccoon man beside her.

Mafia Karen thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll sit here, you guys go and chat."

"Yes!"

Even though she knew the young lady couldn't see, the Elk Housekeeper still bowed solemnly and left Room 3 with the Raccoon Man.

"Aren't you curious?" Mingyue put the empty glass on the coffee table and tilted her head to look at Mafia Karen.

However, Maffia Karen said nothing and her face showed no expression.

Mingyue's lips curled slightly, "Why don't I help you take a look? I'm good at collecting information."

"You?" Mafia Karen frowned slightly, then sneered, "Is there any difference between listening to you retelling it and listening to others retelling it?"

Mingyue smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Of course it's different, or you don't even want to know what they will talk about. Don't you want to find the correct answers to those puzzles that linger in your mind?"

Mafia Karen pursed her lips tightly, and after a moment, she slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, "If you go, maybe they won't say anything."

This sentence seemed to be said to Gray Rabbit, but in fact, Mafia Karen knew in her heart that this was just self-consolation. If the people around her were trustworthy and kind, she would not have fallen to such a state.

"It seems that you still want to know." The girl's voice sounded in Mafia Karen's ears, but the scenery in front of her eyes changed.

Mafia Karen curled her fingers and grasped the hem of her skirt in her hands. The sense of disconnection between touch and vision made her feel as if she appeared in a different time and space. An indescribable feeling of uneasiness lingered in her heart.

Suddenly, a slightly cool little hand was placed on the back of her hand, the fingers trembled slightly, and a familiar girl's voice sounded in her ears.

"Don't be nervous, this is my reward to my partners."

Mafia Karen slowly closed her eyes and felt as if she was floating in mid-air, looking down at the elk housekeeper and the raccoon man below.

Is this a surveillance camera?

Mafia Karen guessed in her heart that although she couldn't hear the sound of their voices, she was familiar with lip reading and could "see" what they said clearly.

“I am not a NOC. She slandered me because I had information that was unfavorable to her.”

"Don't keep me in suspense." The elk housekeeper's sharp gaze fell on the raccoon mask.

The raccoon spread his hands. "I know you may not trust me, but everything I say next is true."

The Elk Housekeeper narrowed her eyes slightly, "Don't talk nonsense."

"If I say that she is the lover of the eldest lady's uncle, and that she is pregnant." The raccoon man's mouth opened and closed, like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.

Bang - Bang -

The sound of waves hitting the side of the boat was annoying.

Maffia Karen opened her eyes suddenly, and amid the roar of thunder, she could clearly hear her own frantic heartbeat.

Mingyue's lips curled slightly, "How is it? It's completely different from what you said."

However, Mingyue waited for a long time but did not receive any reply from Mafia Karen, and the conversation on the other side seemed to have come to an end.

"I have her pregnancy test report." The raccoon man dropped a bombshell.

The elk housekeeper said nothing, but just held out her hand to ask for it.

The raccoon man chuckled. "Such important evidence, I naturally won't carry it with me. I kept it in a very safe place. Originally, I wanted to hand it over to the young lady along with this report after I got the Kirima family's munitions line."

"Who arranged for you to do this?"

"Who?" The raccoon man looked puzzled. "Why should someone else arrange it? I think I am more suitable to stand by the eldest lady's side than her." The raccoon man's voice was low but powerful.

"I watched her grow up. I don't believe she would do such a thing." The clenched fists of the Elk Housekeeper trembled slightly with anger. "I will ask her."

The raccoon man put his hands in his pockets and shrugged, looking nonchalant.

click-

The dazzling lightning cut through the inky clouds, and the dull sound of huge waves hitting the side of the ship was heart-pounding.

Mafia Karen slowly opened his eyes, and his lifeless prosthetic eyes were fixed on the gray rabbit that had just come into contact with the parrot girl.

Mingyue jumped to the center of Room 3, took out a bottle of antidote, and said loudly: "I drank the antidote~"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mingyue pulled out the cork and poured all the liquid in the bottle into her mouth.

Seeing this, the smile on the parrot girl's face gradually faded, and a bad premonition lingered in her heart, "What do you mean?!"

"It's meaningless." Mingyue curled her lips and muttered "It's so unpalatable", then looked at the parrot girl with a slight curl of her lips, "Miss Parrot, you are a zombie now~"

The gamblers watching were talking about it.

"How did she become a zombie?"

“Is Gray Rabbit a zombie?”

"I don't remember her coming into contact with zombies?"

The parrot girl's eyes widened with disbelief and anger, and she asked, "How could you be a zombie?!"

"Don't you believe it?" Mingyue raised the corners of her lips slightly and shook the empty bottle of antidote in her hand. "When this round is over, you will know the answer."

The parrot girl struggled between belief and disbelief, and her thoughts gradually sank into a swamp of suspicion.

In an instant, she recalled that at the beginning of the game, they gave all the antidotes to the eldest lady, but not long ago the eldest lady gave the antidote to the gray rabbit in front of her.

If he turned into a zombie because of contact with the gray rabbit, then there is only one possibility!

I fell into the trap!

The one who led all this was not an outsider, but the Elk Housekeeper!

But why would she do that?!

No, this can't be done. No matter whether I am a zombie now or not, I must drink a bottle of antidote, otherwise everything I have done before will be in vain.

"Give me back the antidote!" The parrot girl pounced on the gray rabbit with fierce eyes, like a hungry hunting dog.

Rumbling--

Thunder roared through heaven and earth.

The three bottles of whiskey in the crowd all looked startled, their breathing became heavier, the salty vapor seeped into their nostrils, and the sense of uneasiness in their hearts increased dramatically.

Lily, the bearded man who was sipping gin, glanced at the gray wolf beside her and said, "It doesn't look good now. It seems that she has angered the mafia."

Scotland said nothing, but put the tulip glass of sparkling wine to his lips, but his eyes remained on Mingyue.

Mingyue dodged a wave of attacks from the parrot girl, turned around and rushed towards the crowded area.

"Don't run!" The parrot girl chased after the gray rabbit and shouted anxiously, "Stop her!"

However, no one made a move. The vast majority of gamblers were unwilling to get involved in this turmoil, and those who participated hoped that the parrot with the highest score would become a zombie.

Mingyue bent down again to avoid the parrot girl's outstretched hand, stuck out her tongue, made a face, and actually ran towards the stairwell.

The parrot girl was hot on its heels.

The roar of thunder and the dull sound of bullets hitting the side of the ship were intertwined.

The cruise ship moved forward among the surging waves, and the stairs under its feet swayed left and right, but it still failed to stop those troublemakers.

Relying on the advantage of her long legs, the parrot girl took three steps at a time and quickly shortened the distance between her and the gray rabbit. She reached out again to grab the gray rabbit and take the antidote from her. After all, ten minutes was a short time and there was not much time left in the blink of an eye.

However, the slippery gray rabbit suddenly changed its escape route when it was about to be caught by the collar, and turned around to run towards the outdoor deck.

"If you chase me again, I will throw all the antidotes into the sea!"

The girl's threatening voice, mixed with the whistling wind, reached the parrot girl's ears.

A wet and salty smell rushed into the cabin, and everyone saw huge waves passing over their heads.

"If you want to die, you can do that." The parrot girl held onto the wall to steady herself and shouted, "I advise you to come here and give me the antidote." After that, she walked towards the gray rabbit step by step.

"Don't come over here!" The girl's voice was swallowed by the deafening thunder.

Thunder rumbled through the clouds, the deck tilted between the waves, and the salty mist blurred the vision.

When the parrot girl saw Gray Rabbit took all the antidotes in his hand and that hand stretched out of the fence, her pupils suddenly shrank.

The waves hit the deck, and the salty sea water wet her trouser legs. She didn't care about anything else at this moment, and walked forward quickly, but the waves forced her back.

With three bottles of whiskey mixed in with a group of troublemakers, looking at the bright moon standing by the fence, his heart almost rose to his throat.

The waves hit the side of the boat, wetting Mingyue's clothes and hair.

If the waves were bigger, not only the antidote but also the bright moon would be swept into the sea.

"Come back soon!" Scotland's shouts were drowned out by the sound of thunder and waves.

Everyone saw that the antidote bottles filled with orange-red liquid were thrown into the sea by the gray rabbit, and were swallowed up by the white foamy waves.

"No!" The parrot girl tried hard to grab it, but at this moment a huge wave hit her and she was pushed far away. She struggled to grab the fence beside her to avoid being swept to the bottom of the sea by the waves.

Huge waves hit the deck and the cruise ship shook.

A flash of lightning split the dark clouds, and the pale light filled the entire world. However, the figure of the gray-haired girl could no longer be seen near the fence at the end of the deck.

The rain hit the deck coldly, soaking the clothes of the onlookers.

The cold wind whistled past everyone, spreading the bone-chilling chill to every part of their body.

The gray rabbit disappeared...
