From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 90 Because I Like You

"snort."

Livia sneered, gripping the knife tightly against Ye Xiao's throat.

"Don't you think it's too late to say something like this now?"

"You dare not kill me."

Ye Xiao calmly looked down at Livia and said, "This ship has already left port, and a lot of FBI agents have infiltrated it."

"Agents, if I die, your mission will fail, and you'll all be captured."

"hateful!"

Livia's cold, pretty face suddenly changed. She roared and grabbed Ye Xiao's collar, angrily saying, "This is what you forced me to do! What else could I do but kill you! Were you just going to let me kidnap you like this?! Huh!"

Livia was so anxious that she was almost incoherent, and even the corners of her eyes began to twitch.

If she could, she wouldn't want things to have come to this point.

Livia originally only wanted to take advantage of Ye Xiao's lustful nature to gain his protection and sneak off the ship.

But she didn't expect that Ye Xiao had discovered her whereabouts. If she let him go back like this, more people might suffer.

Livia was helpless; she was also desperate!

"Calm down, you can't afford this loss."

Facing the agitated Livia, Ye Xiao calmly looked at Blade.

"How about we collaborate?"

"What?"

Livia froze, staring wide-eyed at Ye Xiao.

"Although you may not believe it, I don't actually have a good impression of the FBI. I'm here to investigate Savely and find the source of that virus."

"I'm a medical student, and I've dealt with similar viruses before in Seattle."

Livia retorted angrily, "Then why didn't you say so before, and then did that kind of thing to me!"

"I never imagined you were a nun."

"You bastard!"

Livia glared angrily at Ye Xiao, gritting her teeth as she spoke.

She hadn't expected that Ye Xiao actually thought that way.

Ye Xiao ignored Livia and stared intently at the priest he had met in the banquet hall earlier.

The white-haired priest, though full of energy, also stared intently at Ye Xiao.

To be honest, he was indeed tempted.

After all, if they act now, none of them will be able to escape.

The Vatican's arrangements in America may suffer a devastating blow.

"You've convinced me."

The old priest slowly closed his eyes and shook his head: "But you don't believe in God, so how can I believe in you?"

'

'

Damn it, is it wrong not to believe in God?

Ye Xiao even felt that the old priest was a lot like those silly short-term girlfriends he used to have, always asking these inexplicable questions.

correct!

Ye Xiao glanced at Livia and suddenly spoke.

"Because I like you."

"What?!"

Livia's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

That bastard! He knows I'm a nun, and he still dares to insult me ​​like that!

Isn't he afraid of divine retribution?

Damn it, Livia really wanted to stab Ye Xiao in the back and teach him a lesson about disrespect.

"Father Joseph, don't listen to his nonsense!"

Livia shrieked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and looked urgently at Father Joseph: "Please kill him quickly and punish his disrespect!"

'

'

Joseph was also somewhat surprised, but after looking at Ye Xiao for a moment, he suddenly realized something.

If that's really what Ye Xiao thought, then his previous actions can be explained; he wasn't lying to them.

"Kid, is that really what you think?"

Father Joseph frowned slightly and asked, "She's a nun. Do you know what that means?"

"So what? Isn't it better?"

Ye Xiao shrugged, which only made Livia feel even more disgusted.

That damn bastard, is he thinking about something even more disrespectful?!

"Hahaha!"

To Livia's surprise, Father Joseph simply smiled, waved his hand, and told everyone to put down their weapons.

Huh? This...this isn't right, is it?

Livia asked, her face full of confusion, "Father, what's going on?!"

"I think this kid can be trusted."

Joseph explained.

"How is that possible!"

Livia exclaimed indignantly, "He... he's completely brainwashed with lewd nonsense, practically beyond redemption, and he has absolutely no faith in God! How could anyone trust someone like that?!"

"Listen to me, Livia."

Joseph swept his kind gaze over the two of them.

"He's just an ordinary young man who doesn't understand our doctrines, so he likes you because you're pretty. This is normal, and we shouldn't have any prejudice against it."

"This, this————"

Livia watched the scene unfold before her with anxiety, unable to find a rebuttal.

Her round, full chest rose and fell with her heavy breathing, and a glimpse of black lace and her fair, plump breasts were clearly visible through her dress.

Perhaps only Livia knew in her heart that Ye Xiao was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

He's a master at playing dumb; he always manages to win people over, lower their guard, and take advantage of their trust.

Father Joseph holstered his revolver, placed one foot on the railing, and looked down at Ye Xiao.

"Young man, you can continue to pretend to be Livia's boyfriend while you're on the ship, but you can't do anything inappropriate to her."

"In exchange, we will also do our utmost to assist you in finding that demon's accomplices, how about it?"

"no problem."

Ye Xiao took the opportunity to put his arm around Livia's slender waist, which startled her so much that she froze.

"Father!"

"Please, Livia, these are necessary sacrifices."

Joseph looked at Livia with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, I'm incompetent, I couldn't think of a better way."

"No, that's not right, that's not correct!"

Upon hearing this, Livia panicked, but she didn't know how to respond.

She bit her lip and struggled for a long time before finally saying, with a wronged expression, "I understand, Father Joseph. I... I will try my best."

"Thank you for your sacrifice and dedication."

Father Joseph nodded and quickly left with his men.

The balcony, which was originally fraught with danger, instantly returned to calm.

Livia's eyes were still red, her face looked aggrieved, and she was still holding a small knife in her hand.

"Now you can cooperate properly, right?"

Ye Xiao casually sat down in the chair, raised an eyebrow and looked at Livia.

"What exactly did you do when you went to Savely's cabin?"

This interrogation-like tone made Livia uncomfortable.

But remembering Father Joseph's instructions, she reluctantly put away the knife and said sullenly, "I didn't do anything. When I went into the balcony, I just happened to see him taking a shower."

"After he finished showering and came out, I suddenly appeared from the side, strangled him with a rope, hung him from the ceiling, took his things, and jumped back from the balcony."

"Um?"

After listening to Livia's account, Ye Xiao couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

Goodness, how can a nun be more professional than an assassin?

Are churches now starting to promote Assassin's Creed?

What kind of bipolar reversal is this?

"He was the only one in the cabin? No other accomplices? Was he one of those people from the Yersin Society you mentioned?"

Ye Xiao asked casually.

"no."

Livia stared at Ye Xiao, a slight smile playing on her lips: "We had already done our research before we came. Savely didn't bring anyone with him this time. We originally planned to start with the things he carried with him, but those devices have already been sent back to the Vatican."

"Looks like you're not as stupid as I thought."

Ye Xiao smiled calmly, which infuriated Livia.

"Don't look down on me! I also have a seminary diploma!"

"Mmm, that's great."

Ye Xiao nodded casually, then suddenly remembered something: "Wait, are you sure you really killed Savely?"

"What do you mean?"

Livia was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Xiao as if he were an idiot.

"I've killed more people than you've read books. Don't let your naive ideas question my expertise!"

specialized?

Is it an assassin major at a seminary?

That's quite a contrast.

Before Ye Xiao could speak, Livia slammed her hand on the table with a serious expression, puffed out her chest, and declared proudly, "Saveri is absolutely dead! No one can survive against me, absolutely no one!"

"But have you ever thought about this question?"

Ye Xiao retorted without backing down, "What if Savely used that virus and survived? What do you know about that virus?"

When Ye Xiao went to the cabin earlier, he tentatively touched Savely's body, but he did not gain anything or have any reaction to the extraction of the seed.

At that time, he thought it was just bad luck that he hadn't been able to extract it.

It now appears that Savery may not be dead.

"What?"

Livia was shocked and leaned closer in disbelief, saying, "How is this possible? How can someone survive such a dangerous viral infection?"

"We encountered a tribe in Africa before, where everyone died from this virus. They were only able to barely control the epidemic by using ultraviolet lamps."

Before Livia could finish speaking, Ye Xiao's phone rang.

He suddenly reached out and covered Livia's mouth, which angered her again.

But before Livia could react, she heard a gasp from Ye Xiao's phone.

"Ye, something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong?"

All that could be heard was Guy's urgent cry: "Saveri's body is gone!"

Are you sure?

Ye Xiao feigned surprise.

"Of course! I hid him in the freezer in the cabin. Otherwise, why do you think the captain would treat everyone to ice cream tonight?"

"Holy shit—"

Ye Xiao cursed, expressing both his shock and his dissatisfaction with Guy.

"Come to the restaurant's freezer right now, I need you!"

"it is good."

Ye Xiao hung up the phone and looked at Livia, who was almost touching him, looking completely shocked.

"Did you do this?"

"How is that possible!"

Livia angrily punched Ye Xiao: "Father Joseph brought everyone here to deal with you; we didn't have time to get there!"

"Alright then, you stay here and I'll go check it out."

"What?"

Livia only realized what was happening after Ye Chi had left.

We had agreed to cooperate, but he ran away as soon as he got a lead!

That despicable guy.

Livia gritted her teeth, changed into a long dress, and followed him out.

Outside the restaurant's freezer, Guy and a group of agents stood with grim expressions.

Seeing Ye Xiao walking quickly over, Guy's face immediately lit up with joy.

"Ye, you've finally arrived."

The other unfamiliar agents were somewhat surprised, not understanding why Guy, who had previously clearly disliked this guy, was now so agitated.

"Just as I thought."

Ye Xiao glanced at the freezer and said, "Saveli isn't dead. He's been faking his death, waiting for us to let our guard down so he could escape from here."

"He didn't actually have any allies on the ship, because he was his own allies."

"absurd!"

One of the detectives couldn't help but exclaim, "How is this possible! I personally examined his body. His cervical spine was broken, and he had stopped breathing. Who could fake death to this extent?"

"And this cold storage is a full minus sixty degrees Celsius! How could a living person survive inside for several hours?"

The other agents looked at him with disdain when they heard him say that.

It seems Agent Guy has poor judgment; how did he end up hiring such an outrageous person?

"Even if we take a step back and say the cold storage is completely sealed, and we checked the surveillance footage, no one except the chefs who were getting ingredients ever went in or out. How do you explain that?"

"Isn't that simple?"

Ye Xiao shrugged and said, "You can make room for an ice cream cone to hide a corpse, but can't you allow someone else to make room for a steak to hide inside?"

WTF?

Upon hearing this, many of the detectives who had eaten steak that evening felt their stomachs churning.

Guy waved his hand excitedly: "Quick, check the whereabouts of the cargo that left tonight!"

"Can't find out, boss."

One of the detectives said with an embarrassed expression, "There are quite a few blind spots in the surveillance cameras along this route."

"Then investigate thoroughly! As long as he's still on this ship, you must find him!"

"yes!"

Everyone immediately began searching for Savely's whereabouts.

"Ye, your idea is really too bold."

Guy was still somewhat surprised: "I really didn't expect that to be possible."

"Now is not the time to consider this issue."

Ye Xiao, who was usually calm, now had a faint bitterness on his face.

"Think about it carefully. If you were killed once and couldn't find out who did it, what would you want to do after you came back to life?"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Guy froze, feeling a cold sweat break out on his back.

Damn it!

If that's the case, wouldn't everyone on the ship be...?

Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

"leaf!"

The two turned around at the same time and saw Livia running towards them anxiously.

"I finally found you! How did you suddenly disappear? I was so worried."

Livia feigned a worried expression.

Even though it was fake, Guy still looked extremely envious.

In such a dangerous situation, that bastard Ye Xiao still has people worried.

And what about him?

All I could do was watch them show off their love from the sidelines!

hateful!

"Why are you here?"

Ye Xiao frowned and said with displeasure, "It's dangerous here. You should go back first."

"No, I want to go back with you."

Livia was still acting coquettishly when suddenly a loud bang came from the stern of the ship.

Immediately afterwards, the entire ship began to rock violently.

Livia lost her balance and fell straight into Ye Xiao's arms.

What the hell is going on?

Logically speaking, the surrounding waters are not dangerous, and such a large cruise ship should not be rocking so violently.

Did it hit an iceberg?

Guy's face turned pale, and he rushed out immediately.

Livia's expression changed drastically. She wanted to ask something, but then she saw a figure flash before her eyes.

Ye Xiao, expressionless, picked up a crowbar and quickly left in another direction.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Livia, disregarding her confusion, hurriedly chased after them.
