Upon recognizing the four figures, Chen Xiao was immediately stunned!
These four people are all superhumans, which is not surprising. What surprised Chen Xiao was that he knew two of them!
Those two strange brothers in tuxedos and top hats!
Chen Xiao hadn't forgotten how badly he'd suffered at the hands of that perverted guy skilled in "self-harm"! It was only through Yaksha's desperate attack that he'd managed to repel the two guys!
Now, the two brothers stand at the cabin door. They are still holding hands, like Brokeback Mountain, standing quietly in the corner.
The other two, two slightly younger men, were talking, and judging from their attitude, they seemed to be arguing heatedly about something. They both appeared to be quite agitated.
Chen Xiao carefully listened, but could only vaguely hear a tiny bit of the other party's argument.
"This is...too crazy..."
"This is utterly outrageous!"
"Cold-blooded..."
"I protest...this decision...is against..."
Chen Xiao hid behind several rows of pipes, not daring to breathe.
Other superhumans were one thing... but those two perverted men in top hats really alarmed Chen Xiao! Especially their self-harm technique, which almost killed Chen Xiao last time. Although his own strength was not weak, it seemed that he really didn't have any effective way to deal with their self-harm technique.
When this abnormal power is unleashed, hitting the opponent is the same as hitting yourself! How can you fight like that?
The two people who were arguing fiercely seemed to have finally broken up.
A long-haired white man on the left took two steps back, glaring at the man in front of him, and shouted angrily, "No matter what, I cannot accept such methods! This goes against our principles!"
Standing before him was a black man, who was very thin and looked like an African refugee. He wore a strange, brightly colored robe, as if he were a native of some African tribe.
What's even stranger is that he was wearing a collar around his neck!
Not only this black man, but also the two brothers in top hats and the young white man were wearing collars around their necks!
Faced with the white man's accusations, the Black man gave a sinister smile, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, and slowly said in somewhat broken English, "It's your business if you're soft-hearted. If you want to protest, go ahead and do so when you get back. But now, if you dare to ruin our plans, do you think I wouldn't dare to kill someone?"
The young white man sneered, "Hmph, don't keep throwing around the word 'murder'! You've killed people, but so have I? Let me tell you, I've killed quite a few superhumans too. If you want to be the next one, I'd be happy to oblige!"
With that, the young white man rolled his eyes and said, "No matter what, I cannot accept such a plan!"
The black man chuckled coldly, but his eyes held a strange look.
The two men in top hats standing nearby simply stood there quietly, seemingly lost in their own thoughts, completely oblivious to the escalating argument between the two.
Chen Xiao hid behind and watched for a while, but suddenly felt uneasy!
wrong!
The detector clearly showed five superhumans!
There are only four in front of us!
And there's one more?!
disappear?!
Chapter 146 [The Fifth Person]
Chen Xiao immediately used the detector to search, but there were only four reactions left in the detector's lens!
He tried in every direction around him, but he was still missing one!
What does this tell us?
A sense of unease crept into Chen Xiao's heart—he could detect five people just now, but now only four remained! This meant the fifth person likely possessed anti-detection capabilities, or perhaps… was carrying a powerful new type of detector! They had shielded or even countered his detection radar!
Chen Xiao could no longer detect the presence of a fifth superhuman on the entire ship!
That's enough.
The man on the left among the top hats spoke up, coldly looking at the arguing white and black men: "Stop arguing. Yashin! If you object, you can leave, but just don't get in the way. Just... don't forget, this is your mission! We had an agreement."
They were speaking English, but fortunately Chen Xiao's English was quite good, so he was able to understand them.
The white man named Yashin snorted twice: "I don't think killing a ship full of people has any practical significance for this mission! You want that Japanese woman? We'll just kill that Japanese woman. Do we really have to kill the whole ship?"
Are you sure you want to quit? Or do you want to do something else?
The two brothers in top hats finally stepped forward simultaneously, standing beside the black man. The three of them subtly surrounded the white man named Yashin.
Chen Xiao hid behind a pipe, watching cautiously... His main attention was focused on the man in the top hat on the right—this guy's self-harming skills were what Chen Xiao feared most. In comparison, the freezing skills of the man in the top hat on the left were not so threatening.
Yashin was surrounded by three people, but he remained fearless.
Behind them, from the drainage hatch, the sound of rushing water continued. Yashin frowned: "Fine. I quit! My mission was to help you kill a Japanese girl, not to kill over eight hundred innocent tourists and dozens of crew members and sailors. Sorry, I'm quitting this mission!"
"Ha! What a joke!" The black man grinned, revealing his white teeth. "Innocent? Wasn't that Japanese woman innocent to you? If killing one is innocent, killing a hundred is innocent too. What's the difference? Humph! You religious guys are such a nuisance."
Yashin looked at the three men, his expression finally changing. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I know I can't stop you! But I can choose not to do it. Do whatever you want, I'm leaving!"
After saying that, he snorted dismissively and turned to leave.
He had only taken two steps when a ferocious look appeared on the face of the black man behind him. Suddenly, he reached out and silently grabbed at Yashin's shoulder.
Yasin, however, was prepared. Hearing the sound of wind behind him, he immediately moved to the side, only to see that the black man's fingernails had turned a strange dark green. The nails were as sharp as thin blades and faintly emitted a putrid stench.
