Chapter 301 Suspicion, Operational Meeting (asking for monthly ticket)

"Black pupa?"

Gu Qinye looked up at Urushihara Ruri and slowly pronounced the name.

"Yes, black pupa."

Urushihara Ruri looked at him and smiled, "I remember when you were still a stranger in Lijing, he once met you alone? There were quite a few rumors on the Internet at that time."

With a clang, the metal door of the elevator closed.

A feeling of weightlessness came over them, and the elevator in which the four people were located made a rumbling sound, going down towards the tenth underground floor of the Empire State Building.

Gu Qiye thought for a moment and said, "He just took the initiative to pester me, and I ignored him. I haven't seen him since I faked my death as 'Blue Arc'."

"Oh? Really?"

Urushihara Ruri raised her eyebrows and looked him straight in the eyes.

Gu Qiye did not avoid her gaze, nor did he rush to respond. He knew that Qiyuan Liuli was a member of the Salvation Society, and he could not discuss the matter of Hei Pupa with her casually. Hei Pupa had also reminded him of this matter in a text message earlier.

I heard that Hei Pupa is an extremely sensitive person in the Salvation Society, but Gu Qinye is not sure about the specific reason.

At this moment, a brief silence enveloped the car, and the only sound was Esther's yawning.

The 200-year-old doll girl was looking at the two of them speechlessly, as if she was looking at two little kids with their bare butts holding branches, wrestling with each other.

"Why do I feel like our hero is avoiding the topic?" Urushihara Ruri asked aggressively, "Why is he not talking?"

"You can understand it however you want. I can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep." Gu Qinye said expressionlessly.

"I'll return your original words." Urushihara Ruri spread her hands, "Who is pretending to sleep?"

The elevator was still rumbling downwards, getting closer and closer to the tenth floor underground.

At this moment, Uriel's fingers that were playing with the tablet suddenly paused.

Without even looking up, she said, "Please don't keep chattering. It's not nice to my ears."

"What do you think?" Urushihara Ruri asked her.

Yuriel slowly raised her head and glanced at Urushihara Ruri expressionlessly. "The wanted criminal named Black Pupa also came to me in Paradise before and said he wanted to cooperate with me. It can be seen that he has no self-awareness and anyone can become a collaborator in his eyes. Therefore, I think that Gu Qiye being targeted and harassed by Black Pupa is not a special case, but a normal phenomenon."

She paused, "And you, who haven't even seen the wanted criminal, how dare you be so sure of the relationship between him and Gu Qiye?"

Gu Qinye was slightly stunned and turned his head to look at the girl who looked like an ice sculpture.

"I agree." He nodded and agreed lightly.

Urushihara Liuli looked at Yuriel, then looked at Gu Qiye, and sighed quietly, "Well, since we, the three-no girls, are protecting you so much, I won't ask any more questions."

"I'm not protecting you. I'm just telling you the truth." After saying that, Uriel retracted her gaze and continued to play with the tablet with her head down.

"Okay, okay, tell me the truth." Urushihara Ruri curled the corners of her mouth and stopped looking at the two of them.

"Get out of the way, little ones. I'm about to fall asleep in the elevator..." Esther raised her head and broke the silence, glancing coldly at the three people in front of her who were on the verge of a showdown.

With a "ding dong" sound, the elevator door slowly opened. She walked through the gap between the three people and entered the meeting room first.

Immediately afterwards, the three people behind him also walked into the meeting room in an orderly manner.

Gu Qinye stopped at the elevator door, raised his eyes silently, and looked around at the figures sitting around the long table.

When his eyes swept over the strange man in an oversized windbreaker and a bandage on his face, a barely visible chill flashed across his eyes.

The puppet father... the man who killed my mother is right in front of me, he thought.

At this time, the twelve members of Hongyi had gathered. Everyone was sitting at the table, either with their eyes closed or in a daze, quietly waiting for the meeting to begin.

Only Fan Dongqing was there, leaning lazily on the back of his chair, playing with his cell phone without even raising his head.

Gu Qinye and Yuriel sat together, their seats next to each other.

"The father of puppets... Urushihara Ruri, Oda Hideo, and the polar scholar 'Kalina'."

Gu Qinye silently recalled the list of undercover agents of the Salvation Society that Hei Pu told him, and looked up at Oda Hideo who was sitting opposite him.

The old Japanese man in a black kimono lowered his head, put his folded arms into his sleeves, and leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.

At this moment, Urushihara Ruri sat to the right of the Puppet Father, and the Gothic doll "Esther" and the twin-tailed girl "Ninety-nine" wearing a Russian military uniform sat next to each other.

Gu Qinye took another look at the blonde woman named "Kalina". The woman was wearing a white experimenter's coat and goggles.

At this moment, Kalina was looking down at a piece of anatomical data of a light-eating bee, with an excited smile on her face.

After everyone was in place, there was a "pop" and the huge projection screen at the end suddenly lit up. Then a beam of light shot out, projecting a huge human figure on the table.

The figure is a Chinese woman wearing a suit and glasses.

The woman's name was "Chen Qian", and she was one of the combat commanders of Rainbow Wing. Most commanders were just in name only, and when they arrived on the battlefield, they let the Rainbow Wing personnel play freely, but they still had to explain the work of combat meetings.

Every time a combat meeting began, the twelve members of Hongyi always had to listen to her long introduction, but this was a part that could not be skipped, so everyone had to get used to it.

Chen Qian's projection only showed her upper body. She raised her hand to adjust her frameless glasses and glanced around.

After confirming that all the people were present, she began to speak:

"Then let me introduce this battle plan. During the light-eating bee investigation mission on August 8, our personnel captured several humanoid creatures called 'light-eating bees' alive in Osaka, Japan."

"They have the intelligence of a 12- to 14-year-old teenager, so they know how to hide in the city and come out at night to look for prey."

As soon as he finished speaking, a video was projected onto the huge screen at the end of the conference room. It was a scene in an izakaya. Lanterns were emitting red light, and the clerks, the manager, and the guests were all lying on the ground.

An old song from the Showa period is also playing in the store, with a melodious melody.

At this time, a half-human, half-bee creature sat at the bar, holding a plate in one hand and a knife in the other. It tore the guest's body in half and placed it on the table, cut various organs from his body with a knife, caught them on the plate and tasted them quietly.

The twelve members of Rainbow Wing had no expression on their faces. They were used to big scenes and a mere man-eating creature was nothing. Only the Overloader "Garfield" - the thirteen-year-old boy in a black turtleneck sweater let out a sigh.

"Disgustingly ugly," he deadpanned.

Chen Qian looked at the manuscript at hand and continued, "It is currently known that light-eating bees can obtain the memories of the humans they eat, which means that they can continuously evolve their knowledge and cognition through devouring."

She paused and said, "They don't need to learn, they only need to seize. Therefore, their evolution speed is very fast. After an ordinary adult light-eating bee eats a human's brain, its cognitive level will be greatly improved, and it will far surpass this human.

“Eating humans can improve their physical fitness; and if the humans they eat are people with special abilities, they can even evolve corresponding special abilities.

“In summary, the evolutionary ability of the light-eating bee colony is extremely dangerous, and their reproductive ability is also not weak.

"In a beehive, only the 'queen bee' can reproduce, while the other bees will provide it with the nutrients it needs to reproduce.

"So after most light-eating bees finish eating, they will choose to take the remaining 'prey' back to an island on the other side of the ocean. The hive of the light-eating bees is located on that island."

Hearing this, Gu Qiye took a deep breath, thinking that this island would be the place where he and his enemy would fight to the death.

Black Pupa will pass information between several people. At that time, Gu Zhuoan, Su Wei and Lin Yilong will all come to this island and join forces to kill the four Salvation Society spies in Hongyi.

The first to be hit was naturally the enemy who killed his mother - the Puppet Father.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinye raised his head again and glanced at the man in the windbreaker and bandages sitting in the corner.

The puppet father held his shoulders throughout the whole process, like a robot, and listened to the commander's combat introduction motionlessly. Because his face was wrapped in bandages, no one could see his expression and look.

The commander's voice drew Gu Qiye's attention away. She said:

"With the help of the Rainbow Wing members who participated in the mission - Oda Hideo, Kalina, and Garfield, we successfully found the location of the nameless island."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge map appeared on the projection screen.

There is a striking red dot jumping on the map. When the location of the red dot is enlarged, it looks like an isolated island located on the sea, seven or eight kilometers away from Osaka.

What was strange was that in the satellite view, the isolated island was shrouded in pitch-black darkness. It was still daytime around, but the area close to the island seemed to be shrouded in darkness.

"The light-eating bees can absorb sunlight, so the light on the Nameless Island is extremely dim, as if it is shrouded in a dark cloud." Chen Qian introduced.

Gu Qinye looked up at the strange scene on the screen and raised his eyebrows.

After a long silence, Commander Chen Qian continued:

"There is no doubt that if the queen bee is allowed to reproduce and eat like this, then humanity will soon face a catastrophe... But just based on these conditions, it is not enough for the authorities to set the light-eating bees as the highest priority target for extermination."

She lowered her voice and said, "The reason they are so dangerous is that the queen bee recently gave birth to four 'queen bee candidates'. The bee tribe calls them the 'Four Queen Bees'."

"So far, we haven't seen any of the 'Hee Queens' in person. But we have extracted a lot of information from a captured Light Devouring Bee. From the information, we can foresee that the strength of these four Bee Queens stands out from the crowd, far exceeding the average level of the tribe, and stands at the top of the entire tribe."

"It may even have reached the intensity of a 'natural disaster'."

After hearing the word "disaster-level", the twelve members of Hongyi present still looked calm, even frivolous, as if facing disaster-level opponents was already commonplace for them.

After a pause, Chen Qian continued, "The most powerful queen bee will become the next 'queen bee', enjoying all the 'human resources' brought by the worker bees, and will continue to evolve by eating a lot, and finally lead the light-eating bee clan to rule the human world."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of sneers suddenly came from the conference table.

Everyone looked over there. It was the message from Fan Dongqing who was playing with his phone. During the meeting, he didn't even look up at the projection screen once.

Ke Qing, who was sitting next to him, hugged his shoulders and sighed softly.

In the silence, another yawn was heard.

Following the sound, I saw Esther, a girl in a Gothic skirt, holding a rabbit doll, her head moving up and down in the air, her eyelids drooping, as if she would fall asleep in the next second.

Chen Qian had no expression on her face.

She had long been accustomed to the frivolous attitude of the Rainbow Wing members, and reminded them indifferently:

"I must warn you, this is not an easy mission. After the birth of the Bee Queen, the evolution of the Bee Clan is getting faster... The longer time goes by, the stronger they will become, and they may even be unstoppable."

"So in order to prevent the situation from getting worse, the top leaders of the United Nations decided to send all members of Rainbow Wing. That is to say, you will go to Osaka, Japan within the next week to investigate the island where the hive is located, formulate a battle plan, and then..."

At this point, Chen Qian raised her eyes from the document, swept her gaze over the twelve people from Hongyi, and emphasized almost word by word:

"By August 15th, within a week, the entire Light Devouring Clan must be wiped out."
