Chapter 348 The Secret of the Island Lord's Mansion
Since we can't avoid it, let's just confront it head-on.
Xia Yue stepped out and faced Ellie directly.
Ellie's eyes widened in surprise, "It's you again!"
It was this ugly woman who caused her to fall into the Thousand Carp Pond.
Ellie remembered this debt perfectly.
Now that she has the chance to retaliate, she certainly won't hold back.
Ellie immediately said to the men in black sent by Gu Chen, "These two know our secret; we must kill them."
"I know that without you saying it." The man in black pulled out a silenced pistol.
The servant who was leading the way was so frightened by this scene that he was completely stunned.
He immediately begged for mercy, pleading, "Spare me! I don't know anything! I didn't hear anything! Please, let me go! I'm willing to give you all my money!"
After saying this, the servant leading the way took out a large pile of gold and silver coins from his pocket and then scattered them on the ground!
Ellie's eyes lit up instantly.
This amount of money was so large that even the people Gu Chen sent were tempted.
The two immediately went to pick up the money from the ground.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the servant leading the way quickly left via a side path.
Seeing this, Xia Yue also took the opportunity to prepare to leave.
However, Ellie's gaze never left her.
As soon as Xia Yue made a sound, Ellie quickly reminded her, "Kill this woman!"
The man in black also realized what was happening and immediately pointed his gun at Xia Yue.
But just as he was about to fire, he suddenly found that he couldn't move his fingers.
It turned out that Xia Yue had shot out golden needles and pierced the acupoints on the man's body as soon as he lowered his body, causing him to lose his strength.
"Hey! What's wrong with you!" Ellie shouted at the man in black.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xia Yue picked up the silenced gun from the man in black and turned the tables, aiming it at Ellie's head.
This is an American M9.
It's quite amazing that this island has no internet or cell phone signal, but it has advanced firearms.
"What...what are you going to do? I'm the person Qin Yeting cares about the most. If you kill me, he definitely won't let you off!" Ellie was terrified, but she still didn't forget her persona and used Qin Yeting as a shield.
Xia Yue sneered, "I heard it clearly just now. You are Gu Chen's man, and you even tried to poison Qin Yeting. Why would Gu Chen choose such an idiot?"
"Who—who exactly are you?" Ellie couldn't help but ask the same question as Qin Yeting.
Xia Yue was too lazy to answer, so she simply took out a bottle of antidote.
That was something she carried with her, something she could use to remove the disguise liquid.
She sprayed it directly onto Ellie's face!
"Ah!!!" Ellie screamed.
Within seconds, her face returned to normal.
The scream naturally attracted the attention of the other guards.
Seeing this, Xia Yue put away the silenced gun and quickly left.
She believed that she had done so much, and with Qin Yeting's intelligence, he would definitely be able to see through this imposter.
Xia Yue continued to walk through the island lord's mansion.
She wanted to get out of there quickly, but without the guide she had just met, she was disoriented.
There were no landmarks here, so she could only rely on her sense of direction to find her way out.
In the end, Xia Yue realized she was lost.
She felt that she was going further and further astray and couldn't tell which way was which at all.
Not only that, she also felt a chill for no apparent reason.
I had a bad feeling.
She became more and more careful as she walked.
Even so, I still accidentally stepped into the air.
"Thump—"
Xia Yue fell into a dark cave.
It was very dark all around, and I couldn't see anything.
It took her a long time to get used to it and slowly stand up again.
Although she couldn't see, she could feel the wind.
There are other passages inside.
Moreover, it must contain the secrets of the island lord's mansion!
Xia Yue's intuition told her that the next move was dangerous, and the best course of action was to return the way she came and not be so curious.
However, she couldn't help but keep walking forward.
She wanted to find out what secrets the island lord's mansion held.
After walking for about ten minutes, the underground passage gradually became lit, and the outlines of the surroundings became clear.
But after seeing it clearly, Xia Yue became even more frightened.
She then realized that she was surrounded by glass, which shimmered with a purplish-red light.
She had the illusion that she was heading towards the underworld.
The further you go in, the colder it gets; Xia Yue was so cold she got goosebumps.
After walking nearly a hundred meters more, Xia Yue arrived at a place that resembled an underground freezer.
There are dozens of glass ice coffins stored here!
In each ice coffin lay a woman.
These women, ranging in age from their teens to their thirties, all appeared to be quite attractive.
Without exception, none of them had a brain.
Yes, their heads appeared to have been neatly sliced open with a laser cutter.
The entire brain was removed, which looked extremely gruesome!
Their appearances are all very well preserved; some look so lifelike that they appear to be asleep.
Xia Yue smelled the strong odor of formaldehyde again.
It was even more intense than the place where Gu Chen conducted human experiments.
Even though Xia Yue was a renowned physician who had seen countless deaths, she still felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the corpses of these young women.
How could such a thing be in the island lord's mansion?
Is it related to drug organizations?
Why were these women's brains removed?
Were these all failed experiments?
Xia Yue suppressed her discomfort and walked to an ice coffin, where she saw that there were time markings on the ice coffin.
