Chapter 154 Tragedy of the Past
If the twenty-seventh person really exists, then where is she?
I looked around and counted the number of people on the boat, there were exactly twenty-five.
"Including the captain, there are only twenty-six people in total. Where are the others?" Mu Wanwan became more and more anxious when she saw Qu Yanbai being beaten half to death by that group of people.
"The outside reports say there are 26 people, but we haven't searched the cabin yet."
Qin Muxue seemed to realize something, "Let's quickly check the situation inside the cabin!"
The cabin was empty; they had searched it thoroughly.
Qu Yanbai was almost unable to hold on, but as a man, he still roared and used his last bit of strength to knock the man who hit him to the ground.
"Young Master Sun, is this really necessary? Someone is about to die." One of the men suddenly spoke up.
"Why, you can't stand it? How about you be the next one?" His cold words made the man tremble all over.
"No, that's not what I meant. I just think that beating him like this will leave the deck covered in blood and will affect your mood." The man immediately thought of a reason.
"I don't think it affects me. I just like this kind of scene." He was in high spirits, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something. "Stop fighting. Give that woman some medicine. I want to let Li Ziping see how his woman caters to me. Li Ziping, this game is to see if you can endure it. If you can, I will let you and your girlfriend leave here safely. If you can't, then..." He laughed grimly.
Regardless of whether Li Ziping wins or loses this game, it will be a great shame for him.
Memories of Li Ziping flashed through Qu Yanbai's mind. He was born in a poor family and was an upright person. Because of his excellent grades, he was very popular among teachers in school.
On the contrary, although the rich second-generation Sun Shao is rich and powerful, he is unruly, has poor grades, and often bullies others. Although teachers and students hate him, they dare not speak out.
One time, Sun Shao bullied a girl. Li Ziping couldn't stand it anymore, so he stopped him and beat him up severely. From then on, the two of them had a grudge against each other.
Sun Shao targeted him everywhere and Li Ziping treated him like air.
After graduation, Li Ziping did not stay in this city, so Sun Shao's reach naturally could not reach so far. By chance, he discovered that Li Ziping was actually working in a subsidiary of their group, so he immediately transferred Li Ziping to the headquarters.
Li Ziping originally thought that this was a promotion, but he didn't expect that this was the beginning of a nightmare.
He couldn't afford to lose his job. The elderly in his family was seriously ill and he had to pay the mortgage. If he lost his job, the family's expenses would not be enough. So in the face of Sun Shao's bullying, he could only swallow his anger.
He could tolerate the targeting in the beginning, until Sun Shao actually started to approach his girlfriend and sent people to harass her, then he began to become unbearable.
But Sun Shao's family was big and powerful, and he couldn't defeat the other party at all.
Sun Shao told him that if he went on a sea trip with him, everything between them would be written off, so he boarded the ship, but he didn't expect to face such a thing.
Sun Shao felt that this was not heartbreaking enough, "Do you know why your girlfriend came here?"
"Why?"
"Because, I told her that I would let her go as long as she came to sleep with me on the boat. Hahaha, I didn't expect that she would really come."
Young Master Sun showed a sarcastic expression, "She is really a good woman, but can you still be together without any grudges in the future?"
Cong Ning shouted, "Don't look, please, Zi Ping, don't look at me!"
At this time, Qu Yanbai couldn't stand Sun Shao, the scumbag, and he felt the same way, which made him feel very painful inside. He absolutely could not agree to such a thing, as his conscience would not allow it.
So he wiped the blood off his face and said, "Kill me. If you hate me so much, just kill me. Don't hurt innocent people."
"What's the point of you saying that? We live in a society ruled by law. Why would I kill you? I just want you to suffer a little."
Qu Yanbai's mind was racing, trying to come up with a plan that would satisfy both sides. It seemed that showing weakness to him was of no use, and he couldn't resort to violence now.
After hearing what Li Ziping said, Cong Ning started to cry, "Ziping, don't worry about me, just agree to him."
"That's impossible." He didn't know what others would do, but he would never do that. Since he is Li Ziping now, he must not give up an innocent person.
Cong Ning had originally made up his mind to jump off the boat and commit suicide, but he didn't expect that Li Ziping did not give up despite such an insult. Instead, he felt that he had made the right choice of the right person, and he was not so desperate.
While the man next to her was talking to Sun Shao, she staggered free, picked up a fruit knife beside her, stood near the beach, dragged a woman and put the knife to her neck.
"Quickly release Zi Ping, or I will kill her."
Sun Shao's eyes showed a cold look, and soon he began to sneer, "If you want to kill her, just kill her. Anyway, you are a murderer and have nothing to do with me. I don't care about the life or death of this woman."
They were just women, he didn't take them seriously at all. Even if one died, there would still be thousands more. Besides, they were just his playthings.
Cong Ning's hands were shaking. She didn't know how else she could threaten this disgusting rich second generation.
Qu Yanbai shouted anxiously: "Don't do this, you will hurt yourself."
"Ding Dong", a sound rang in Qu Yanbai's ears.
"The time is up. You lost. You didn't find me, and you didn't save Cong Ning and Li Ziping. But I don't feel disgusted by this man's actions. I can give you another chance."
Such a voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
Qin Muxue just searched the entire ship but didn't find any trace of other people, but there is definitely a 27th person on the ship. Where is this person hiding?
"This is the last chance. If you still can't satisfy me, then you will stay in this space and die with them!"
In the blink of an eye, they returned to the situation when they boarded the boat.
Qu Yanbai still played the role of Li Ziping and relived everything that had just happened. This time he was not confused. Instead, he picked up the golf club beside him and hit the men in front of him directly.
Qin Muxue also knew that not a single moment could be wasted.
After resuming their work, they immediately searched the cabin again.
"Where exactly will it be?" Qin Muxue closed her eyes, looking back at everything she had just seen, and suddenly a detail popped into her mind.
"There's still one place left to search!"
She and Shi Yan shouted out in unison.
Mu Wanwan was still a little dazed, "Where are you talking about?"
"It's their luggage."
As they rummaged through the suitcases and finally walked into Cong Ning's room, they had a very strong feeling.
There must be something in that big black box. Mu Wanwan's heart was already in her throat.
Shi Yan slowly approached the box, and after opening it, everyone saw a thin boy about eighteen years old curled up inside. He raised his head, and Shi Yan immediately wanted to grab the other's arm, but he didn't expect that the boy's figure disappeared immediately.
"You found me, but you didn't touch me."
"You cheated!" Mu Wanwan couldn't help but complain.
We had clearly found him, but he found a loophole.
"The time is not up yet, we should still have a chance." Qin Muxue glanced at her watch. It took two hours last time, but this time they only took one hour, which means they still have one hour to look for the boy.
"But who is this boy and why did he appear in Cong Ning's suitcase?"
Shi Yan picked up the student ID card in the suitcase and said, "Cong Ning's younger brother, Cong Jie."
The three of them didn't have time to think about it. Since they already knew that the superpower user was Cong Jie, they just needed to find that person.
Qu Yanbai's situation was much better than the last time. Although Li Ziping's strength was not enough to defeat so many people, Qu Yanbai had a strong observation ability and was good at using clever force to maneuver among the crowd. He was able to barely protect Cong Ning.
His current condition was extremely bad. There was a hole in his head and his face was covered in blood.
"Cong Ning, please leave here quickly, go..."
"But, Ziping, what are you going to do?"
"It's okay with me, just run away."
At this time, Young Master Sun was extremely angry, "None of you can escape."
He actually took out a gun from his waist. This time he wanted to try out the effectiveness of the gun.
"Everyone present, if you meddle in other people's business, I will not let you go, including your family members."
The people around took a few steps back, and no one was willing to step forward to stop Sun Shao.
"You know nothing about what happened here today."
This pair of bastards didn't even take him seriously until they were on the verge of death. He would definitely teach them a lesson.
"Li Ziping, I'm giving you two choices now. Either you kill your girlfriend, or I kill you."
He wanted to see what choice this pair of mandarin ducks would make when faced with life and death.
Who knew that Qu Yanbai wiped the blood off his face and said viciously: "I won't choose either of them, I want you to die!" Then he rushed towards Sun Shao.
Despite being nervous, Sun Shao finally pulled the trigger.
When Qin Muxue and the others arrived, they saw this scene.
The bullet went straight through Qu Yanbai's body. Li Ziping fell down, but Qu Yanbai did not.
All the phantoms began to disappear. Congjie walked out of the cabin next to him while laughing loudly. "I am very satisfied with this ending. I will let you go!"
"I didn't expect that there would actually be someone willing to die for my sister. Li Ziping chose the wrong method, so he deserves to die. Everyone on this ship, except my sister, deserves to die!" he said viciously.
It was not until the originally luxurious ship began to show mottled marks and dry bones were found on the deck that Mu Wanwan realized that they had finally emerged from that reincarnation space.
Qu Yanbai breathed a sigh of relief. Lying on the deck, he could still vaguely feel the pain of the bullet piercing his body.
He had originally felt that since the people here were all phantoms, even if the gun really hit him, it would not be possible to really kill him.
It took a lot of courage for him to make this decision, and he won the bet in the end.
Qu Yanbai covered his chest and almost couldn't see Manman.
Cong Jie stared at Qu Yanbai and said, "You meet my requirements. Why don't you stay here and accompany my sister? I will make you my real brother-in-law."
Qu Yanbai quickly stood up and hid behind Shi Yan, "I think you chose the wrong person."
"You were obviously willing to die for my sister. You protected her." Cong Jie's tone softened.
This was just a way for Qu Yanbai to take advantage of the situation. He was very sad about what happened to Li Ziping and Cong Ning, but he only had Manman in his heart and no one could shake his heart.
"That doesn't mean I have to be with your sister. Besides, isn't she dead?"
"She is not dead, she just became a vegetable. The person I chose will not let you escape!"
Cong Jie stepped forward and was about to grab Qu Yanbai, but at this time everyone had already left the illusion, so there was no need to shrink back.
Qu Yanbai's vines immediately entangled Zong Jie, but Zong Jie was not afraid at all. Instead, he laughed loudly, "Why, do you think you can trap me like this?"
A lot of black silk suddenly appeared in the cabin behind him.
"Isn't this the one we saw on the ocean floor?"
The black silk threads spread towards them as if they had life. Qin Muxue's water ability had no effect on them at all. Once they touched the water, the black silk threads spread even more crazily.
Relying on Shi Yan's extremely fast swordsmanship, after cutting off these black threads, other black threads still continued to emerge.
"Give up resistance! If you can listen to me obediently, I may consider letting you go. But if you insist on doing so, neither you nor your ship will be spared." He twisted his neck and smiled, revealing his white teeth. He looked harmless, but Qin Muxue knew that this boy was very dangerous.
This was the first time that Mu Wanwan had seen such a battle. She only had the ability to understand the language of other animals, but had no actual fighting power, so she could only shrink aside in fear.
Shi Yan was struggling with the black silk, while Qin Muxue was thinking about how to break through the hair.
She knew that superpowers were mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. The black silk seemed to be of the wood attribute, while her water superpower was of the water attribute. They should be mutually reinforcing, so she could not deal with the black silk.
Fire overcomes wood, so let her use fire attack!
Fortunately, she still had a space with a flamethrower in it. She sprayed it wildly at the black silks, finally forcing them to retreat.
After seeing this scene, Cong Jie screamed crazily, "You can't do this, no! Sister, sister! You can't hurt her."
Seeing that the fire was about to spread to the cabin along the direction of the black silk, Cong Jie was extremely excited and tried hard to break free from the restraints.
He found that the more he struggled, the tighter the vines wrapped around him.
"I give up, I give up. There are still people in the cabin. Please put out the fire quickly!"
"Is that your sister, Cong Ning, in the cabin?"
Cong Jie nodded hesitantly, "I asked my sister not to hurt you, please don't hurt her either, okay?"
"How can you promise?" Shi Yan placed the sword on his neck coldly, as if this guy would be beheaded in the next second.
"You are not afraid. If I lied to you, you can continue to kill us." His voice was trembling.
Qin Muxue used water to put out the fire doubtfully, "Now tell us why this ship has become like this."
Cong Jie saw that the fire had gone out and he calmed down. "This all started with that disgusting Young Master Sun. He hated Li Ziping and found out about Li Ziping's girlfriend, my sister Cong Ning. He wanted to start with her to completely humiliate Li Ziping. Li Ziping was almost tortured to death by him, but my sister never gave up on him and stayed by his side. That day, my sister received a call. I saw her serious expression and knew that something serious must have happened. When I saw her packing her luggage to go out, I wanted to go out with her, but my sister didn't want to. When I saw her packing her luggage, I secretly hid in her trunk.
You saw what happened later. She knew I followed her and didn't stop me. She let me hide in the black suitcase and boarded the ship together. I realized how much my sister had suffered. My sister and I were orphans since we were young and depended on each other. She took great pains to raise me, but when she was insulted, I was locked in the suitcase by her and was powerless.
Cong Jie still remembers the scene at that time. On the day he arrived on the ship, at night, a man knocked on the door of the room, and he heard a quarrel outside. Later, the man said, "As long as you are willing to sleep with me for one night, I will let Li Ziping go, and you will both be safe."
Cong Ning compromised. She loved Li Ziping very much, but she didn't expect that the man would start to take advantage of her directly.
"Don't do it here, can you go to your room?" Cong Ning resisted and turned his head away.
Unexpectedly, the man slapped her in the face. "You stinky bitch, you still dare to resist. It's your honor that I want to have sex with you. I didn't want Li Ziping's second-hand goods in the first place. If it wasn't because I wanted Li Ziping to have a taste of the feeling of being cuckolded, do you think I would be interested in a piece of shit like you?"
The slap caused Zong Ning to have tinnitus in her ears and bruises on the corners of her mouth. She tried her best to break free from the man who was pressing on her, but she was no match for him and could only let him do whatever he wanted.
Congjie heard the whole process in the suitcase. His lips were almost bitten until they bled, but he was unable to come out to stop it from happening.
After the man succeeded, he revealed a smug expression, "Will Li Ziping be mad to death? Hahaha."
Looking at Cong Ning lying on the bed with no hope in life, he took out his cell phone and said, "Just like that, let me take a few photos."
"No!" Cong Ning frantically tried to grab the phone, but was slapped several times by the man. "If you listen to me, I can still let you go. If you dare to resist again, I will let you taste other men."
Cong Ning burst into tears. She thought that she only had to endure it once, but she didn't expect the other party to become even worse. But now there is no turning back.
The man forced her to take a few photos with him. "I can't wait to see Li Ziping's reaction after seeing the photos!"
After opening the hatch, he said to the men outside, "I'll leave her to you. Take good care of her!"
The only sound left in the room was Cong Ning's screams...
Cong Jie heard the whole process. He was so sad that he almost died. This was more sad than killing him.
What followed was the scene that happened in the cabin. Sun Shao forced Li Ziping to make a choice. He resisted at first, but facing the crushing strength of the opponent, Li Ziping was helpless.
He compromised. He had a seriously ill elderly person at home and could only watch Cong Ning suffer humiliation.
Cong Ning never expected that this man would just watch him being insulted without saying a word.
Cong Ning closed her eyes and shed tears. It was her own choice, who could she blame?
If she were given another chance to choose, she would definitely not choose this way again.
So she crashed hard into the cabin and passed out.
At that time, just before the natural disaster was about to come, after Ning fell into a coma, his superpowers were stimulated and his hair began to grow wildly.
"Fuck, where did this monster come from?"
In the blink of an eye, the hair brutally slaughtered everyone on the deck.
Regardless of whether they were men or women, perpetrators or bystanders, the most disgusting one was of course Young Master Sun. He was the most miserable. Strands of hair were inserted directly into his body, pulling out his internal organs.
He was not yet dead, and he watched helplessly as his internal organs were thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
Seeing this scene, Li Ziping fell to his knees and burst into tears, "Cong Ning, I have failed you, I have failed you, but what should I do?"
He was forced into a desperate situation, and he didn't want to live the moment Cong Ning fell to the ground.
The hair surrounded Li Ziping, hesitating and wavering. Li Ziping was so scared that he dared not move.
It was not until Cong Jie, who was struggling frantically inside the suitcase, finally opened it and was immediately panicked when he saw the river of blood on the deck.
The hair did not hurt Congjie. Congjie hugged his sister's body and cried bitterly, and found that she was still breathing.
With his back to Li Ziping, Cong Jie asked, "Why didn't you protect her? Do you know how much he has done for you?"
Seeing his sister's hair surrounding Li Ziping and hesitating to take action, Cong Jie suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and he activated the supernatural power of the reincarnation space.
In the reincarnation space, he watched everything that had happened before over and over again.
"Sister, you are still reluctant to kill this man even though you are in this state? Since you are reluctant, let me help you!"
Just when Congjie was about to take action, he found that Li Ziping had hanged himself on the boat pole.
The corpse swayed slightly in the sea breeze.
His nose was filled with a strong smell of blood.
