Chapter 303 On the way to Osaka, the name of Feng Hou, the teaching ruler (asking for monthly tickets)
After arriving at the private airport near the Empire State Building, the twelve members of Rainbow Wing boarded the same plane.
The plane was divided into two cabins. Gu Qiye and Yuriel, Jiujiu, Kalina, Garfield, and Urushihara Ruri were in one cabin; Esther, Fan Dongqing, Ke Qingzheng, Oda Hideo, Alexandra, and the Puppet Father were arranged in another cabin.
The two cabins were identically equipped and could be considered luxurious. There was a passageway in the middle, with a wash basin and toilet on the passageway.
Gu Qinye washed his face in the sink.
He wiped his face with a towel and turned off the tap, and the sound of water stopped. He put the towel back on the rack, raised his head, stared at the mirror for a while, then turned his head and saw a black coffin.
As always, the coffin lid was not closed tightly, as if to allow for ventilation.
Looking through the gap, I saw a black-haired girl in a Gothic skirt lying motionless inside with her eyes closed.
Just then, Uriel opened the bathroom door and walked out.
"Why is it that when I see her sometimes her hair is blonde and sometimes it is black?" Gu Qiye hugged his shoulders and stood leaning against the sink.
Uriel answered while washing her hands, "Esther sometimes wears a wig because she thinks blonde hair suits her granddaughter Alice, her alter ego, better. But she prefers black hair, so she doesn't dye it."
Gu Qiye nodded. "Did her granddaughter really exist? Or was she imagining it?"
"I don't know." Yuriel turned her head and looked at him. "Are you curious about her?"
"Just asking."
Gu Qiye shrugged and looked away from the coffin. He looked through the door of the next cabin and took one last look at the puppet father who was sitting in his seat reading a newspaper. Then he left the passage and returned to his seat.
He sat next to Uriel, behind him were Ninety-Nine and Garfield, and behind them were Urushihara Ruri and Kalina.
The plane was still on its way to Osaka, and outside the window was a rolling sea of clouds. Today the sky was clear, and the sun shone through the window, falling on Uriel's face.
She lowered her head in silence for a while, then handed the tablet to Gu Qiye:
"This is the latest intelligence from the Japanese authorities regarding the 'Four Great Bee Lords'."
"Japanese officials? Is the source of the information reliable?" Gu Qinye asked as he took the computer and looked at the documents on it.
He had been cheated once by Japanese gangsters at an auction in Tokyo, and now found it hard to trust the organizations there.
"The information was dug out from the mouths of light-eating bees by the staff of the Japanese Abnormal Association," Yuriel explained. "Our people captured several light-eating bees that were eating and handed them over to the Japanese officials. In order to save their lives, they chose to tell the Japanese officials about the bee tribe. That's how we found the location of the island."
"They actually betrayed their own kind?" Gu Qiye thought for a moment, "Shouldn't worker bees be absolutely loyal to the queen bee?"
"That's normal." Yuriel said softly, "Light-eating bees are intelligent, which is their advantage, but also their disadvantage - any creature with the ability to think will be afraid of death."
At this point, she paused, "And in the face of death, nothing matters."
Gu Qinye looked at the computer in silence.
It was mentioned above that after devouring a large number of humans, the queen bee gained knowledge from their minds and became proficient in the human language.
So, the queen bee gave names to the four queens she gave birth to: the first queen was named "Joe"; the second queen was named "Guli"; the third queen was named "Cameron"; and the fourth queen was named "Melvitt".
But there were no photos in the document because the Four Great Bee Lords were still hiding on the island and had not yet set foot in the human world.
“If everything goes as expected, the bees are about to start eating,” Uriel whispered.
"Eat?" Gu Qinye raised his head and looked at her.
"Yes, the light-eating bees captured a large number of people with special abilities and brought them to that nameless island." Yuriel said, "After feeding on them, the four great bee lords will awaken their special abilities."
Gu Qiye was silent for a moment, "Then we have to speed up."
"Father-in-law, has Black Pupa replied?"
"not yet."
"Come to think of it, I've always wanted to ask you, do you know anything about Black Pupa?"
"Do you really want to know?"
China time, 2 a.m. on August 10. Lijing, the old Jingmai neighborhood.
The long street was dark, and every household had its doors locked. Even the supermarket across the street was closed, but Broly's bookstore was abnormally open until late at night.
In the brightly lit bookstore, Su Wei was sitting behind the counter, drinking coffee and reading a book.
Gu Zhuoan stood by the bookshelf, head bowed, silently flipping through a photo album. After waking up in the basement that day, he cut his hair and shaved his beard, and he looked much younger.
At this moment, the two of them were chatting with each other, as if they were trying to make up for the lack of family time over the years.
But when talking about Hei Pupa's identity, the atmosphere suddenly became stiff.
Gu Zhuoan raised his head and looked at Su Wei, "You mean, you know who the black pupa's true identity is?"
Su Wei opened his mouth and was about to answer, but suddenly remembered that before this, Gu Wenyu had sternly asked him to keep the Gu Zhuo case confidential.
That day, Gu Wenyu said in a text message that if Gu Zhuoan knew that Hei Pupa was him, he would jump off the building immediately. Since his grandson was threatening him with his own life, Su Wei could not break her promise.
Therefore, he had to swallow back what he was about to say, sighed softly, and hinted cryptically:
"Actually, I don't know who Black Pupa is, but... this kid has a clever and eccentric personality. I think he's a bit like Su Ying."
"You said his personality is like Su Ying?" Gu Zhuoan frowned, shook his head, and took a breath of cold air, "How is that possible? He is just a lunatic, and he has nothing in common with Su Ying."
Su Wei was silent for a moment, then said meaningfully: "Hey, just pretend I never said that."
He thought to himself, this stupid son-in-law was actually played like this by his own child.
"Okay, forget it." Since Su Wei said so, Gu Zhuoan tactfully didn't ask any more questions.
He lowered his head and continued to look through the photo album.
The photo album in his hand was given to him by Su Wei. The album contained many photos taken when Su Ying was a child.
In the photos that came into view, there was a girl who was as clever and cute as a rabbit. When taking photos, she would always raise her hands above her head, make a scissors gesture, and show a bright smile with her big teeth.
As he watched, Gu Zhuo'an's gloomy face couldn't help but reveal a smile. But every once in a while, he couldn't help but look away from the girl's smiling face in the album, as if Su Ying's smile was as dazzling as the sun, making it difficult for him to focus on it for too long.
After flipping through the last photo, he closed the album, tilted his head back and took a deep breath. The oxygen penetrated his lungs, and all the bad emotions finally poured out at this moment.
Yes, this father had seen every side of his daughter, watched her grow up, and took so many photos. He must have cherished this girl's smile? But in the end, he had to entrust his daughter to someone else, and that person failed to protect her.
"It's so late, you should go to bed. There's no need to wait for news from Hei Pupa." Su Wei suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the bookstore.
"But... Hei Jin said Qi Ye is still in a meeting at Hong Yi, I'm a little worried." Gu Zhuoan said in a low voice.
"Then you go to sleep first, and I'll tell you when I receive it." Su Wei said.
Just as he finished speaking, his phone suddenly popped up an incoming message notification sound, which was the soothing sound of flowing water.
Su Wei picked up the phone and took a look.
[Black Pupa: Grandpa, my brother's meeting has ended, and Hongyi's movements have been confirmed. They will go to Osaka, Japan next to defeat the Light Devouring Bee.]
[Black Pupa: Uh... I already know the location of the island of the light-eating bees. All we need to do next is to make preparations. Find a time to board the plane with my dad.]
【Su Wei: Wait.】
[Black Pupa: What's wrong? ]
[Su Wei: Didn’t you say that there was another collaborator? Who is he?]
[Hei Pupa: Oh, Mr. Makutaki will make the arrangements himself. I have already informed him, you don't need to worry about it.]
[Hei Pupa: After all, he is a wanted criminal, and he is not a wanted criminal who hides his real name like my father. Now the whole world knows that his name is Lin Yilong, so how could he fly directly to Japan like the two of you? ]
[Black Pupa: Next he should board a human smuggling ship and sneak over.]
【Su Wei: That’s right.】
[Su Wei: This child has a very hard life.]
[Black Pupa: Really? I'm actually not sure if Mr. Makutaki will suddenly attack my brother while we're fighting the Salvation Society.]
[Su Wei: I don’t think so. Zhuo An told me that Lin Yilong is a man who can clearly distinguish between good and evil. He should be able to clearly distinguish between the most urgent matters.]
[Black Pupa: Okay, I'll be relieved if you're willing to trust him.]
"Did Hei Pupa inform you?" Gu Zhuoan turned to Su Wei and asked, holding the photo album.
Su Wei nodded: "Yes, he told us to go to Osaka first and wait for his next notification."
"Osaka?" Gu Zhuoan pondered.
He got some information from the Japanese underworld boss lady "Chihiro Amemiya".
There have indeed been frequent attacks and disappearances in Osaka recently, but because the United Nations officials have intervened in the matter and blocked all intelligence, the underworld has no clue.
Now it seems that it was the group of "Light-Eating Bees" mentioned by Hei Pupa that invaded Osaka.
"Yes, I'll book the tickets. We'll fly to Japan early this morning to avoid any changes in plans." Su Wei said.
He paused, and then earnestly warned, "Even if we run into Hongyi's people in that city, you must remain calm. Because our goal is to avenge my daughter and catch all the people from the 'Salvation Society' in one fell swoop."
Gu Zhuoan nodded.
"I know," he said. "I've been impulsive once, and I won't do it again."
"Osaka..." Su Wei thought for a moment, "When I was young, I went to Osaka several times after work. My wife was still alive at that time, and we gave birth to Su Ying not long after."
Gu Zhuoan also said: "I have been there once or twice."
He thought for a moment and said, "Come to think of it, I only know that you are from Lake Hunter, but I don't know what your Sky Drive is specifically?"
Su Wei took a sip of coffee and said, "Teaching Ruler."
"Teaching ruler?"
Su Wei smiled slightly and said, "When we get to Japan, I'll show you a few more of my skills."
After saying that, he put down his coffee cup and stood up from the table. "Although I am old and haven't exercised much in the past few years, it should not be difficult for me to help you stop some of the people from Hongyi."
