Chapter 449: Chapter 321 She is the Real Murderer_2

"The children all seemed to be drugged into unconsciousness," Xiao Yi began, "and it took quite an effort to wake them all up. However, this also meant that I had even less time since those people would eventually come to take the children away for some purpose."

"So, I briefly explained the situation to the children and planned to take them away from the ship. Unfortunately, we were not on land but on a cruise ship where there were limited hiding places, and the only means of escape was the lifeboat on the cruise ship."

"Everyone on the cruise ship was an enemy. With just me and twelve children, it was very difficult to confront them head-on, so escaping was our only option. Luckily, every child was obedient and intelligent. With just a simple explanation, they understood the situation and were willing to follow my lead to escape from there."

"Not only were the children intelligent, but they were also united. It seemed that they had known each other for a while hence there were no feelings of unrest or distrust. No one threw tantrums or doubted me, which allowed us to act cohesively and without wasting further time."

"At the same time, I also realized that the main reason the children were so calm and united was that they all trusted a leading girl."

"That girl was the most intelligent and composed. After talking with me and verifying through several questions that what I was saying was true—that the company intended to harm them—she immediately trusted me and commanded the other children, doing her best to coordinate with me."

"She was an extraordinary child. In such a situation, she was still able to inspire courage in the other children and calm everyone down to act together. It made me, an adult, feel both admiration and inferiority. Also... for the convenience later during the escape, she told me her name... Ye Lianyu."

"Then, with Ye Lianyu’s assistance, I led the twelve children towards the lifeboat while avoiding the patrolling people... Thanks to her and the strength of every child, we were never discovered by the patrols and successfully reached the lifeboat."

"However, our not being found did not mean that the people on the ship were unaware of our movements. It wasn’t the children’s fault; it was all my fault. For some reason, there were hidden cameras all over the ship, and I had failed to notice them, so the responsibility was mine."

"And our actions had already been revealed. When I arrived at the lifeboat with the children, those people had already ambushed us. When we arrived, they appeared and surrounded me and the children."

"And clearly, I was no match for so many of them. I was quickly knocked to the ground, unable to move even slightly, and the children were captured once again."

"At that time, Ye Lianyu gave me a smile that seemed comforting yet somewhat helpless. Even so, she bore no resentment or blame for my incompetence."

"Watching her being taken away by those people, I was thinking in my heart—definitely... no, absolutely filled with guilt for her, and cursing my own incompetence."

"Then... I thought I was going to be chopped up and thrown into the sea, convinced I was doomed, so I loudly criticized those people’s shamelessness and cruelty, saying I’d rather die if it could at least take one of them down with me."

"But maybe it was luck; they were divided on how to deal with me. Some argued that they had to silence me to ensure this didn’t leak out, so they wanted to kill me immediately. Others thought that killing me might negatively affect the experiment, and that it was safer to wait until the experiment was over."

"They argued for a moment, and finally decided to temporarily lock me up in the ship’s storage until after the experiment was over."

"Just like that... I was confined in the storage for several days, but... I never gave up on escaping. The experiment seemed to last for some time, so I kept trying to find a way out to stop the experiment as soon as possible."

"However, they kept guarding me, so it was only a few days later that I found an opportunity. After injuring myself all over and dislocating my arm, I finally escaped. Then, after fixing my arm, the first thing I did was look for the children."

"But... I was too late. When I saw Ye Lianyu again, she was already dying. At that moment...she entrusted me to ensure the only surviving friend got out."

"Then, carrying the girl Ye Lianyu had entrusted to me, with a face full of grief and anger, I killed several people and finally managed to escape by lifeboat...That was everything I recalled."

"..."

All those present remained silent as they listened to Six recount his story. Through this, everyone began to understand some details about the Eternal Life Plan.

Six took a deep breath and couldn’t help but look at Ye Xi with guilt as he slowly said,

"Sorry, I... I wasn’t able to save your sister..."

"No..." Tears were already brimming in Ye Xi’s eyes, "I should be the one thanking you. You tried to save my sister, and that’s enough... Also, my sister, just as I remembered, was so reliable and impressive... Sister, sister..."

Ye Xi wept uncontrollably again; she did not need comforting at the moment because her tears were not just of sadness.

"...Wait." Hart couldn’t help but ask Wei’er again, "Six mentioned he had saved a girl once, and you are the only survivor of the Eternal Life Plan, which means Six is your lifesaver, and you knew that, as we can tell from the way you acted just now.

But you brought your amnesiac lifesaver back to this ship, which contradicts your earlier justification for seeking revenge against the company. What exactly is going on? What... what are you hiding?"

"..."

However, Wei’er still did not open her mouth to say anything.

Xiao Yi was also observing her, and then... Xiao Yi realized that Wei’er seemed to be waiting for something.

So, Xiao Yi could no longer let her wait; he had to find out the truth quickly!

Then, Xiao Yi looked at Six again and asked,

"Six, besides that, have you remembered anything else? For instance, what happened during the time you were confined?"

"The time I was confined?" Six thought for a moment and then said, "During that time, there’s not much to say. I was just tied up all day long, unable to move at all, occasionally beaten by some people; I was completely unaware of what was happening outside. But... I do remember, shortly after I was confined, a violent storm hit, and the whole ship was shaking intensely. I suffered a lot during that time, which left a deep impression on me."

"...A storm?" Xiao Yi frowned.

"...A storm?" Hart also said, "Speaking of which, we seemed to have encountered a storm earlier as well..."

Immediately after, Xiao Yi suddenly said, "I think... I might already know who the real culprit is."

Xiao Yi’s words immediately drew everyone’s attention.

"...Who is it!?"

Then Xiao Yi looked at Ye Xi and slowly said,

"Your sister, Ye Lianyu... she is the real culprit."
