Chapter 671: The truth behind the tragedy
Except for the Wilson brothers, no one present really cared about the life or death of the [prey].
It is not ruled out that those people, like Kong Xiyan and others, listened to hypnotic music before boarding the ship, and then unleashed all the evil of human nature.
The younger brother was missing, and the sister was frantically searching for him on the boat.
The nobles watched her anxiously, despaired, and collapsed with cold eyes.
During this time, only the Wilson brothers extended a helping hand to her and even wanted to help her find her brother.
But their power on the ship was still too small, not to mention that there were people deliberately trying to stop them.
Finally, the poor sister found a set of clothes belonging to her brother floating in the swimming pool and broke down.
Overwhelmed with remorse and self-blame, the sister also committed suicide.
The loss of a life became the catalyst that pushed the joy here to its peak.
Everyone cheered and laughed around the corpse.
It's like some weird and mysterious sacrificial ceremony...
Originally, it should have been like this.
But the Wilson brothers found the poor sister in time and rescued her immediately.
The newlywed wife of the young master of the Wilson family is gentle, generous, elegant, and has the ability to soothe people's hearts.
She hugged the girl, comforted her, and told her that everything was not the worst and that there was hope.
Everyone was dissatisfied with the disruption of this sacrificial celebration, so they cursed at the Wilson brothers.
At first, it was just a verbal dispute that ended in a bad mood. Some people even began to accuse the Wilson brothers of disrupting the annual ritual of sacrifice on the ship.
Yes, the entire orgy was a sacrifice of human life.
Those who participate in the sacrifice will be protected by the gods and everything will go well.
What a bargain! Just sacrificing the lives of one or two untouchables can bring stability and prosperity to so many noble families.
Sacrifice?
This was something the Wilson brothers had never heard of.
They simply couldn't stand their younger brother constantly nagging in their ears, "There are so many beautiful women on the Oriental Morning Star~The Oriental Morning Star is so luxurious and romantic~The Oriental Morning Star is perfect for my brother's honeymoon...", so they agreed to take their younger brother on board to see the world, even though the unreliable younger brother failed to make it in time for boarding - no doubt it was because of women.
That stupid brother...
But why does sacrifice sound so outrageous?
The crisis of ship hijacking occurred at this time.
The robbers were stunned when they boarded the ship.
None of these rich people were normal. They were cursing madly. Even when the robbers threatened them with guns, no one cared. They just cursed even louder.
The guests on the ship cursed the Wilson brothers for breaking tradition and bringing bad luck to the Eastern Morning Star.
The Wilson brothers protected the girl and cursed the guests for their stupidity and arrogance.
That so-called sacrifice is too outrageous.
The cursing turned into physical fighting, and even the robbers were forced to join in.
The control console received the request, knew that the ship was in trouble, and immediately sent a ship to assist.
But before that, there had been bloodshed on the ship.
Should we say that the effect of psychological suggestion was too good, so good that it was completely beyond the expectations of the ship owner?
The accumulated contradictions broke out at this moment, and everyone fought each other until everyone on the boat died.
It was also at this time that the tsunami hit.
They took away all the evidence, all the absurdity, and covered up the truth of the so-called sacrifice.
This is also why after the Eastern Morning Star incident, many people spoke out, but no upper-class aristocrats really sought justice or found out the truth.
Because that sacrifice was the secret they kept silent about.
"How ridiculous." Kong Xiyan sneered: "So many top celebrities gathered together, the rich and powerful, the information gap and interpersonal network they gained by exchanging information with each other are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The wealth gained due to information asymmetry was classified by them as so-called "sacrifices".
They drive living people crazy, drive them to suicide, and then revel next to their corpses."
"This so-called sacrifice was more like a one-time obedience test by the organizers," Luo Zhenxuan said. "The tsunami masked the failure of the test."
"Before the man-made tsunami hit, those people had already died, killed each other." Kong Xiyan said: "This is the truth I replied in the email, but it is not the only truth."
"If the answer to the turtle soup riddle in the first level is that none of this has anything to do with the Master," Luo Zhenxuan speculated, "then is the entire plot of the Aphrodite intended to prove that the Eastern Morning Star tragedy also had nothing to do with the Master?"
Kong Xiyan slowly shook her head upon hearing this: "Perhaps, Master wants to prove that those people deserved to die."
"Isn't he the one who initiated the sacrifice?" Luo Zhenxuan frowned, his face full of incomprehension.
"This is also a problem." Kong Xiyan was about to say something else when she heard her cell phone ringing.
After glancing at the caller ID, Kong Xiyan frowned and answered the call: "Hello?"
"Sister, where are you?" Kong Zhishan's voice came from the phone.
"What happened?"
"The door to our room is locked. It can't be opened from the outside, and the room card doesn't allow us to return to the room." Kong Zhishan switched hands to answer the phone. "I just contacted Xu Junzhi, and he's in the same situation. I'm going to take Yangyang to meet up with Xu Junzhi..."
"Don't go over there." Kong Xiyan frowned. "Stay away from Xu Junzhi and Boss Ye. Don't trust anyone, and if anyone dares to get close to you, hit them with a hammer."
"Sister, I'm a girl!" Zhong Yangyang muttered. She had never hit anyone with a hammer before.
"Didn't I tie a bow on your hammer?" Kong Xiyan asked her puzzledly, "Isn't that girly enough?"
“…” Zhong Yangyang’s mouth twitched. Is this the point?
"Anyway, take good care of you two. I'll meet up with you as soon as possible." Kong Xiyan said, "Keep in touch."
"Okay, sister." Kong Zhishan hung up the phone, looked around, and then found a mace from behind a nearby curtain.
This is the same as the mace and Zhong Yangyang's hammer. They are both very light and protected by soft rubber covers. They won't kill people, but they will hurt.
"Follow me closely." Kong Zhishan said as she was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Zhong Yangyang said as he pulled the straps off the curtains and tied a bow around Kong Zhishan's mace. "Well, that'll do."
Kong Zhishan looked at the bow on the mace, then looked at Zhong Yangyang who was holding the hammer tightly, and showed a helpless and doting smile.
It was like going back to the time when they first met.
Zhong Yangyang's stationery is covered with strange decorations, even her notebook is covered with small stickers.
Very cute.
