The killer went back up using the stairs leaving the elevator wide open but Ming Yu didn't take it. It could be a trap so he'd rather wait in the morning and see what the killer had in store for them.
He regretted not suspecting his lover for such a possibility and asked him if he was the killer.
If he asked, he would answer him truthfully since he never lies to him.
[Admin: Sooooo.... you're still not convinced that he's the killer?]
No.
[Admin: But do you also not believe that he's married.]
"..."
[Admin: Didn't we have a similar conversation before?.]
Ming Yu summoned the invisible keyboard to express himself.
-
[Ming Yu: Admin. Those kind of jokes are not funny anymore.]
[Admin: I'm joking around so I won't lose my sh*t. Please understand.]
[Ming Yu: Cheating jokes are forbidden from now on.]
[Admin: If you really trusted in him, my cheating jokes won't annoy you~
┐(︶▽︶)┌]
[Admin: And also author if you didn't notice, lower right of the screen is an emoji function to fully express your feelings to me from now on.]
[Ming Yu: "..."]
[Ming Yu: 凸ಠ益ಠ)]
[Admin: What the fuc- Author. Aren't you too harsh to this FRIEND.]
[Ming Yu: That expresses my pent up frustrations that I've put aside totaling to the years and lifetimes i've spent with you.]
[Admin: HARSH! Σ(°ロ°) Such BS
ヽ( ￣д￣)ノ ]
Hours passed by with him chatting with the Admin. Sunrise came and the seas calmed. The night passed not peaceful as women's screams passed through the walls haunting the entire night. The two of them didn't need to guess too hard about what was happening upstairs.
Thanks to their screaming. The Admin eventually shut upped, spooked by the sound of running, screaming, hitting and whatever that creeped him out.
[Ming Yu: Should we go up?]
[Admin:. . . again. . . CAN WE NOT? Let's stay here AWAY from them and survive in PEACE.]
[Ming Yu: Let's go. (ﾉ'ヮ')ﾉ*: ･ﾟ]
[Admin: I should never have added this damn emoji function. . .(°ㅂ°╬)]
[Ming Yu: (ﾉ'ヮ')ﾉ*: ･ﾟ]
[Admin: F*ck you.]
-
The elevator button was lit red, meaning that it was accessible. He had intentions in taking the stairs but after imagining himself walking up all 4 flights. . .
Nah. Too lazy for that.
What if the doors were locked? Doesn't that mean he would need to go back down again?
So Nah.
[Admin: Why do I feel the frustration I felt in the last life after reading this. . .]
Memories of the lazy Ming Yu reappeared.
[Admin: My days as a mother. . .] Admin didn't like it at all.
D4. Guest Quarters R20-R30.
DING.
[Admin: WHAT THE F*CK HAPPENED HERE?!!!]
"..."
The floor was pooled with red puddles. The stench, nauseating.
[Admin: BBBbbbbleeeeeeeeeehhhh-!!! I cannot- OH MY GO-]
[Admin: This is just spilled tomato sauce on the floor. Yes, yes. Yes you, someone spilled tomato sauce, tomato-]
What caught Ming Yu's eyes was the trail of bloody footsteps that halted in front of the elevator and went around it. He wanted to follow the trail first but then something more noticeable was needed to pay more attention to.
He followed the trail from where it came from and stopped before a woman's corpse, the pool amass, the volume increasing as blood continued to trickle out her body ever so slowly.
Bea Yu. Stabbed on the stomach. Cause of death. . . Blood loss.
The body was half kneeling onto the floor, wet, the knife on her stomach keeping the corpse on knees. The room before it. . . Secretary Luo's. . .
Did she ask for help yet to no avail abandoned?
This cowardly bastard. . . was just the worst. . .
KNOCK.
"HHHHhheeeeeeeee-!!!" Secretary Luo was fine and alive.
"I-I-I-I d-din't- I-It wasn't me! I couldn't help- there's no way I could've help-!!!"
Secretary Luo knew full well what sin he committed and started defending himself even without being asked. He didn't dare open the door and like a madman, repeated the same words not to convince Ming Yu yet himself.
Another person who's mind broke.
He didn't probe further and left him be for it was useless. It was better to use the remaining time in the morning to look for the others. He used the elevator again to go down a floor.
But where's Lan Mei Ru?
D3. Guest Quarters R10-R20.
His former Deck. Also Sun Ji Man's, Lan Mei Ru's, Catrice Rogers' and Chairwoman Fan's.
Nobody was here.
[Admin: H-h-hey. . . that old lady's body. . . how did you handle it?]
We just left it there.
[Admin: What?! In the water?!!!]
Mmn.
[Admin: Didn't you know that corpses on water would soften and bloat in due time?! That's f*cking disgusting!]
"..." he didn't want to imagine it.
Maybe Wan Zhe took her out from the water. . .
CRASH!
The sound of something breaking apart was loudly heard.
[Admin: W-w-what was that?. . . where did that noise come from?]
"..."
"Hee- Hhhheeeeee-!!! AAAAAHHHH! What's going on?! WHAT'S GOING ON!!!"
"N-NO! N-NO! OPEN UP THE DOOOR!! OPEN UP THE DOOOR!!!"
BAM! BAM! BAM!
The banging on the door was too distinct that Ming Yu and the Admin easily realized where the hammering came from.
But where it was... was somewhere unexpected.
"LET ME OUT!!! OUT!! WHOEVER PUT ME IN HERE LET ME OUT!!!"
"HHHHHEHeeeeee-kk!! I-I'LL GIVE YOU WHATEVER YOU WANT S-SO PLEASE OPEN UP! I BEG YOU! I'M BEGGING YOU! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!"
[Admin: H-h-h-h-hey... f*ck autho-Ming Yu... w-why is the dead chairwoman's door making noise...]
Someone's inside.
Ming Yu pulled the handle with force but he didn't have the needed strength. The person on the other side felt that someone was pulling the door and his movements became more forceful, repeatedly hitting the door hoping to slam it down.
"H-H-H-HELP ME!!! HELP ME!! KEEP PULLING!!"
The person on the other side stepped away and used his entire weight to slam onto the door. After a few vigorous tries, the door hinges badly creaked and the door, including the person itself fell onto the ground.
Luckily, Admin quickly warned Ming Yu or he would've been crushed underneath.
A fat, naked figure solely wearing white undies which left the person some dignity was sprawling onto the floor unable to withstand his own weight. This image abusing his clear, sinless eyes. . .
[Admin: Sinless my *ss. You've seen your husband naked enthusiastically doing this and that to your-]
Cough.
[Admin: In various striking positio-]
Cough.
[Admin: Tch.]
The fatty was no one other than Chairman Hong who's been absent the entire trip.
"Chairman. . ." This fat old man clearly had been through a lot. His body was bruised and cuts was all over it, releasing him was another sick game that the killer had planned for them.
"C-C-Chris Han!!!" He rose up with all strength forcefully pulling onto Ming Yu's pants which almost made him fall.
"S-s-save me! I-i-inside- Fan Lili's dead! SHE'S DEAD!!!"
"H-h-h-help me! T-that bastard son of mine! That bitch's son did this!!!"
"Chairman Hong-" Bastard son?
"H-h-help me! A-are they after you too? Did they took over your ship? D-d-don't leave me okay? p-please! PLEASE!"
"Chairman Hong. . . please calm down. . . we are currently within your ship-"
"M-M-MY SHIP?! N-NO.... Y-YOU BOUGHT THIS SHIP FROM ME!!! IT'S YOURS!!!"
[Admin: WHAT?!!!!Σ(°ロ°) ]
"..." Ming Yu was at lost for words.
[Admin: Ming Yu! What's going on?! Whaaaaaaaat???Σ(°ロ°)]
. . . i'm as confused as you.
"Chairman Hong ... could you please explain."
"Let's go to my room and rest. . ."
"Mmn. . ." The old man suddenly started to bawl and cry.
[Admin: "..."]
"..."
Inside his room where no murder took place, he handed Chairman Hong a glass of water to drink to calm himself and let him use his blanket to wrap around his body.
This ... of course his clothes wouldn't fit.
At least the blanket wrapped around him like the ancient Greeks, he wouldn't see something poisonous loosely hanging down there and strain his sight.
[Admin: Blehhh- let me vomit.]
Putting things aside, Chairman Hong's confession and loose mouth shocked him bad, enough to even recover huge chunks of the story inside his head. Finally.
"W-w-where's Wan Zhe? T-t-that bastard son tried killing me! His own father! He-he's here out for revenge. He needs to die! DIE! If I don't kill him, he'll kill me first!!!"
"..."
[Admin: Author, are you letting him badmouth your husband scott free?]
I really want to beat him badly right now but I need to endure. . .
All these killings were fueled by revenge. Revenge on numerous meaningless deaths that were selfishly done as a result of human's dirty greed.
First thing to know about this sick old bastard was that, he's a Rapist.
Chairman Hong raped Xu Wan Zhe's mother who was a singer entertainer in a renowned 5 star hotel that he once stayed at. The Chairman later forcefully took his mother into his home to enjoy her beauty and body which eventually led to pregnancy.
The lady threatened to kill herself if he wouldn't allow him to give birth so he let her, thinking that raising a bastard wont be bad and is beneficial piece for him in the long run.
His mother became sickly after childbirth but Chairman Hong still couldn't stop his lewd desires and nightly activities. This sickly beauty was too alluring for she was 8 years younger than him.
At this time, Hong, Fan and Yu industries was still working their way onto the top. He was already working together with Chairwoman Fan.
Then suddenly, one profitable incident became the great turnaround which boosted their company straight to the heaven's
The billion-dollar business tycoon reigned by the Du family, who's chairman had been searching for his lost granddaughter found some clues which was later revealed to be the fair maiden he'd been spending the bed with.
The scheming two was drooling over riches and fame thought of the brilliant plan of taking the girl as his wife fabricating not only evidence but also a tear-jerking story of how he and the young lady fell in deep love and married despite their age gap.
Chairman Du looked at her once and new that she was his granddaughter for she strikingly looked like her grandmother. The love of his life.
The young lady could only smile with grace for the old bastard had her children hostage. Chairman Du later died and put his inheritance under Chairman Hong's name, shared and divided by the dark hands that have been supporting him from behind.
Chairman Hong only shared this, but to Ming Yu who finally remembered most of what really happened. Dark thoughts of killing this bastard was swirling on his head.
The wife and children were succumb into continuous torture and abuse after serving their purpose.
Xu Wan Zhe wouldn't lie about the scars on his back, but he was sure that he didn't explain all of what caused them.
His mother died.
His little brother died.
Beaten and abandoned, taken in by his Uncle who was innocent and did nothing wrong. Yet despite his innocence, he was forced to bow his head and die all because his older brother couldn't tolerate his face.
Xu Wan Zhe blackened with a substantial reason.
It's no wonder he wished to kill all these people off with his own hands.
Right now Ming Yu needed to tolerate this fat fool and lure him into his death. He doesn't know what his lover planned for the chairman, but he'll play along with it.
If Xu Wan Zhe was the killer, then there really was no harm to his life.
"C-C-Chris Han, l-let's kill him! Kill him before he kills us!"
"Yes. . . chairman Hong." I'll take you to your death as you wish.
[Admin: . . . Author. . . your eyes aren't smiling. . .]
[Admin: You're scary when you're mad. . .]
Reading through this text made Ming Yu smile.
[Admin: . . . that smile is scary. . . ]
"Chairman Hong. . . Hong Bing is also on-board. Would you like to look for him?"
"Bing? Tch. What use is there to find that bastard! He's useless."
"It's better if there's more of us. . ."
"Then you go! I-i-i'll stay here. . ."
"Okay."
Ming Yu went out of the room and was happy at heart to do so. He simply took the elevator back up and went into Xu Wan Zhe's room, leaving the old fool alone. All tension disappeared and Ming Yu's heart was at ease, as if he was on an actual holiday.
He summoned the chatroom again to pass time.
-
[Ming Yu: But Admin, Chris Han bought the ship. . . I don't remember why. What's his relationship with Wan Zhe?]
[Admin: I was just thinking about this too. Doesn't this mean you were in cahoots all along?]
[Ming Yu: Admin. Why didn't you give me the ability to take over the body's memories and make things easier...]
[Admin: Uhh... I can't really say why I didn't. Besides, its more interesting this way? haha]
[Ming Yu: "..."]
[Ming Yu: But if I was why did Xu Wan Zhe hid it from me?]
[Admin: He had his own plans but when you became Chris Han, he didn't want you to get involved? If it was the original Chris Han, everyone would've died in a more brutal way?]
[Ming Yu: But when we were together he was clearly worried about me. . .]
[Admin: You're husband's acting won the Oscars in this life.]
[Ming Yu: (￣_￣) Admin, learn how to read the mood. . .]
[Admin: At this point, your husband is considered a psycho right? Does he have some kind of psycho tendencies like you know. . . those in the movies.]
With the mention of this, Ming Yu's thoughts went into the deep.
[Admin: Like some split personality, or a fetish for blood, or some crazy sh*t like that.]
[Ming Yu: "..."]
The Admin's suggestions felt convincing and a thump was felt in his heart.
[Admin: You know, other than seeing blood and corpses, knowing that the killer is your husband, i'm not that scared anymore ╮(︶▽︶)╭]
[Admin: I'm happy to know that I won't see us getting chased by some crazy bastard in the dark with a knife raised high ready to strike.]
[Admin: I feel a loooooooot better now~ <(￣︶￣)>]
[Admin: Ming Yu?]
[Admin: Hello~]
[Admin: "..."]
Ming Yu who didn't get a wink of sleep last night from worrying over his lover and the fear of his life felt so eased that he knocked out.
[Admin: ♡＼(￣▽￣)／♡ Sleep well. you've work hard.]
Taking this chance, Admin went offline writing down his report.
Deep asleep, sometime later a shadow was cast on Ming Yu's body and a warm hand gently touched his face.
"I'm sorry I made you worry. . ." Xu Wan Zhe leaned down tenderly kissing Ming Yu.
"We'll finish this up real quick. . ." he mumbled with a smile. He slowly lied down on the bed, carefully taking his exhausted lover in his arms.
"Just a couple of hours. . ." He himself was a bit tired.
Tonight, a lot of things will happen.
