Chapter 303 On the way to Osaka, the name of the Bee Lord, the teaching ruler (Seeking monthly votes)

After arriving at a 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, Yu Ruier, Jiu Shijiu, Karina, Garfield, and Urushihara Ruri were in one cabin; Esther, Fan Dongqing, Ke Qingzheng, Oda Hideaki, Alexandra, and the Puppet Father were arranged in the other cabin.

The two cabins were identically furnished and could be considered luxurious. They were separated by a corridor, which contained sinks and toilets.

Gu Qiye washed her face in the sink.

He dried his face with a towel, turned off the tap, and the running water stopped. He put the towel back on the rack, looked up, stared at the mirror for a while, then turned his head and saw a black coffin.

As always, the coffin lid wasn't closed tightly, as if to allow for ventilation.

Peering through the crack, one could see a dark-haired girl in a gothic dress lying motionless inside, her eyes closed.

Just then, Yuriel opened the bathroom door and came out.

"Why is it that sometimes when I see her, her hair is blonde, and sometimes it's black?" Gu Qiye stood up, arms crossed, leaning against the sink.

As Yuriel washed her hands, she answered, "Est sometimes wears wigs because she thinks blonde hair suits her granddaughter 'Alice,' who is her second personality; but she herself prefers black hair, so she doesn't dye it."

Gu Qiye nodded. "Did her granddaughter really exist? Or is it just her imagination?"

"I don't know." Yuriel turned to look at him. "Are you curious about her?"

"Just asking casually."

Gu Qiye shrugged and looked away from the coffin lid. Through the door of the next cabin, he took one last look at the Puppet Father sitting in his seat reading a newspaper, then left the passage and returned to his seat.

His seat was next to Yuriel, behind him were Tsukumo and Garfield, and further back were Urushihara Ruri and Karina.

The plane was still en route to Osaka, and outside the window stretched a vast, rolling sea of ​​clouds. The sky was clear and blue, and sunlight streamed through the window, falling on Yuriel's face.

She lowered her head and remained silent for a moment, then handed the tablet to Gu Qiye:

"This is the latest intelligence from the Japanese authorities regarding the 'Four Great Bee Lords'."

"Japanese official sources? Is the source of this intelligence reliable?" Gu Qiye asked as she took the computer and looked at the documents on it.

He was swindled by Japanese gangsters at a Tokyo auction and now finds it hard to trust organizations there.

“The intelligence was extracted from the mouths of the Light-Eating Bees by staff of the Japanese Heretic Association,” Yuriel explained. “Our people captured several Light-Eating Bees that were feeding and handed them over to the Japanese authorities. In order to save their lives, they chose to reveal the information about the bee clan to the Japanese officials. That’s how the location of the island came about.”

"They would actually betray their own kind?" Gu Qiye thought to himself. "Shouldn't worker bees be absolutely loyal to the queen bee?"

“That’s normal,” Yuriel said softly. “The Light-Eating Bees are intelligent, which is their strength, but it’s also their weakness—any creature with the ability to think will be afraid of death.”

She paused for a moment, then added, "But in the face of death, nothing else matters."

Gu Qiye silently stared at the computer.

The text above states that after the queen bee devoured a large number of humans, she gained knowledge from their minds and became proficient in human languages.

So the queen bee named her four queen bees: the first queen bee was named 'Joe'; the second queen bee was named 'Guli'; the third queen bee was named 'Cameron'; and the fourth queen bee was named 'Melvit'.

However, there were no photos in the document because the four horns of the bees were still hiding on that island and had not yet set foot in the human world.

“If I’m not mistaken, the queen bees are about to start feeding,” Yuriel said in a low voice.

"Eat?" Gu Qiye looked up 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, the four lord bees will awaken their special abilities.”

Gu Qiye was silent for a moment, then said, "Then we need to speed things up."

"Father-in-law, has Black Chrysalis replied?"

"not yet."

"To be honest, I've always wanted to ask you, do you know anything about the Black Chrysalis?"

"Do you really want to know?"

2:8 AM, August 10th, China time. Lijing, Old Jingmai Street.

The long street was dark, and every household had their doors closed. Even the supermarket across the street had closed, but Broly Bookstore was unusually open until late at night.

In the brightly lit bookstore, Su Wei was sitting behind the counter, drinking coffee and reading a book.

Gu Zhuo stood to one side, leaning against the bookshelf, head bowed, silently flipping through a photo album. Since waking up in the basement that day, he had cut his hair and shaved his beard, making him look much younger.

The two were chatting casually, as if trying to make up for the lack of everyday conversation they had missed over the years.

But when the topic of Black Chrysalis's identity came up, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Gu Zhuoan raised his head and looked at Su Wei. "You mean, you know who the Black Chrysalis is in real life?"

Su Wei opened his mouth, about to answer, but suddenly remembered that Gu Wenyu had sternly told him to keep the Gu Zhuo case a secret.

That day, Gu Wenyu said in a text message that if Gu Zhuo knew that Hei Yong was him, he would immediately jump off a building. Since his grandson had threatened to kill himself, Su Wei couldn't break her promise.

So he had no choice but to swallow his words, sighed softly, and hinted cryptically:

“Actually, I don’t know who Black Chrysalis is, but… this kid’s personality is quirky and strange, and I think he’s a bit like Su Ying.” “You say his personality is like Su Ying?” Gu Zhuo’an frowned, shook his head, and gasped, “How could that be? He’s a madman, and he has nothing to do with Su Ying.”

Su Wei was silent for a moment, then said meaningfully, "Sigh, just pretend I didn't say anything."

He thought to himself, "This foolish son-in-law, he actually let his own child fool him like this."

"Alright, then forget it." Since Su Wei had said so, Gu Zhuo tactfully didn't ask any further questions.

He lowered his head and continued flipping through the photo album.

The photo album in his hand was given to him by Su Wei. It contains many photos taken when Su Ying was a child.

In the photos that catch the eye, there is a girl as clever and cute as a rabbit. When taking pictures, she always raises her hands above her head, makes a peace sign, and shows off her bright smile with her big teeth.

As he looked at the photos, Gu Zhuo'an couldn't help but smile slightly. But every now and then, he would inevitably 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 look at her for long.

After flipping through the last photo, he closed the album, tilted his head back, and took a deep breath. The oxygen filled his lungs, and all those pent-up emotions finally poured out.

Yes, this father had seen every side of his daughter, watched her grow up, and taken so many photos. He must have cherished every smile on her face. 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 sleep. There’s no need to wait for news from Black Chrysalis.” Su Wei suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence that filled the bookstore.

“But… Hei Yong said that Qi Ye is still in a meeting at Hong Yi’s place, and I’m a little worried,” Gu Zhuo’an said in a low voice.

"Then you go to sleep first, I'll let you know when I receive it," Su Wei said.

Just as he finished speaking, his phone suddenly popped up a notification sound for a received message, which was accompanied by the soothing sound of flowing water.

Su Wei picked up her phone and took a look.

[Black Chrysalis: Grandpa, my brother's meeting is over. Rainbow Wings' movements are clear. They're heading to Osaka, Japan, to hunt down the Light-Eating Bees.]

[Black Chrysalis: Uh... I already know the location of the Light-Eating Bee's island. All that's left is to prepare. Find a time to board the plane with my dad.]

[Su Wei: Wait a minute.]

[Black Chrysalis: What's wrong?]

[Su Wei: Didn't you say there was another collaborator? Where is he?]

[Black Chrysalis: Oh, Mr. Mutaki will arrange it himself. I've already informed him, so you don't need to worry about it.]

[Black Chrysalis: After all, he's a wanted criminal, and not like my dad who hides his identity. Now the whole world knows his name is Lin Yilong, so how could he possibly fly directly to Japan like the two of you?]

[Black Chrysalis: Next, he'll probably board a human smuggling boat to cross the border.]

[Su Wei: That makes sense.]

[Su Wei: This child has had a tough life.]

[Black Chrysalis: Right? I'm actually not sure if Mr. Mutaki 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 person who clearly distinguishes between right and wrong, and should be able to prioritize what's urgent.]

[Black Chrysalis: Okay, I'm relieved that you're willing to trust him.]

"Did Black Chrysalis notify you?" Gu Zhuoan asked Su Wei, turning his head as he held the photo album.

Su Wei nodded: "Yes, he told us to go to Osaka first and wait for his next instructions."

"Osaka?" Gu Zhuoan pondered.

He obtained some information from the Japanese yakuza boss's wife, "Amamiya Chihiro".

Osaka has indeed seen a recent spate of attacks and disappearances, but because the United Nations has intervened and blocked all intelligence, the underworld has no clue whatsoever.

Now it seems that the group called "Light-Eating Bees" mentioned by the black pupa invaded Osaka.

“Yes, I’ll book the tickets. We’ll fly to Japan early this morning, just in case things change,” Su Wei said.

He paused, then earnestly instructed, "Even if we run into Rainbow Wing's people in that city, you must remain calm. Our goal is to avenge my daughter and wipe out that 'Salvation Society' group."

Gu Zhuo nodded.

“I know,” he said. “I’ve already acted impulsively once, and I won’t do it again.”

“Osaka…” Su Wei thought for a moment, “When I was young, I went to Osaka a few times in my spare time. My wife was still alive then, and not long after, we had Su Ying.”

Gu Zhuo also said, "I have been there once or twice."

He thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I only know that you are a member of the Lake Hunters, but I don't know what your Sky Chaser is specifically?"

Su Wei took a sip of coffee. "Ruler."

"A pointer?"

Su Wei smiled slightly, "I'll show you a couple of tricks when we get to Japan."

After saying that, he put down his coffee cup and stood up from the table. "Although I'm old and haven't exercised much in recent years, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to stop some of Rainbow Wing's people for you."
