Chapter 306 The Gathering of Bees, A Feast for the Gluttons (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
On August 10th, Japan time, in a sea area near Osaka.

The sun shone brightly, and the sea and sky reflected each other brilliantly, but at this moment, an uninhabited island in the sea was shrouded in bottomless darkness, as if God had neglected the island and sent down a dark cloud that covered it alone.

This is the habitat of the light-eating bee clan. Sunlight is the bee clan's main source of nutrition, so during the day, their colony absorbs sunlight in an alternating sequence, as if performing some kind of evil ritual.

As wave after wave of bees take turns consuming the sunlight that falls on the island, the island is forced into prolonged darkness. There is not a single break in this cycle; any sunlight that reaches the island is immediately consumed by the bees.

So they stop feeding when night falls, and in this situation, only moonlight and artificial light can reach the island.

At this very moment, atop a steep mountain in the very center of the island, hangs a giant beehive.

The hexagonal honeycomb glowed, like a brightly lit sky garden, floating motionless in mid-air, rightfully becoming the most eye-catching building on the island.

Its area is so large that it's like three or four football fields strung together.

At this moment, four light-eating bees of different appearances were scattered at the entrance of the hive.

Their appearance is quite different from that of ordinary light-eating bees, but most of them have human body outlines.

The leading queen bee, "Joe," has a long tail, black skin, and facial features that are no different from those of a human. Its high-set pupils emit a captivating golden light, and it has two pairs of hexagonal wings on its back, each wing resembling a honeycomb.

The second lord bee, "Guli," has no wings, its entire body is purple, and its pupils are also purple. A giant hammer is attached to its tail. Among the four lord bees, it is the tallest, with thick limbs and a physique that is as imposing as a bodybuilding champion.

Cameron, the Queen of the Three Bees, was slender with a human female face and blue eyes. She wore a sea-blue dress, a blue bow on her short hair, and had a pair of huge wings on her back, like a bird.

The fourth bee, "Melvit," had a rather ordinary appearance, with a golden body, well-proportioned limbs, and a pair of transparent, thin wings on its back. It resembled a large, ordinary light-eating bee, but instead of a large stinger, it had the facial features of a normal human teenager.

At this moment, the two queen bees, "Joe" and "Melvitt," sat on the ground at the entrance of the hive, playing cards with one hand in each hand.

Cameron lay prone on the ground, pressing the corpse of a human boy beneath her. She rested her chin on her hand, smiling slightly, and used the boy's corpse's hand to hold a pen, drawing in her notebook.

"Guli" rubbed the stones from the honeycomb against the giant hammer attached to its tail, producing a clanging sound and sparks flying.

Melvitt looked down at the cards in his paws, scratched his head, and patted the dust off the ground with his transparent wings. "Joe, I really don't understand what's so fun about these human things."

“I don’t understand it either,” Joe said. “That’s why it’s meaningful. Something is only interesting when it’s unknown… It’s the same with humans. Once you figure them out, they become boring.”

As Guli polished his giant hammer, he said, "Aren't humans supposed to be our food anyway?"

“Joe, Guli, Melvitt, look, look! I’m painting with his corpse!” Cameron said, suddenly sitting up from the ground.

She grabbed the boy's hands and lifted his body high above her head.

The other three bee horns turned to look and saw that the boy's eye sockets were empty, with only two lines of blood flowing from them. He was holding a pencil in his left hand and a notebook in his right, and his hands were frozen stiff.

On the notebook, blood and pencil marks mingled together, forming a playful smiley face.

“What’s so fun about this?” Melvitt sighed. “You should just eat it.”

“These inferior creatures should stay in our bellies, not be used as decorations.” Guli swung the giant hammer at the end of its tail.

“But…don’t you think he’s cute?” Cameron raised her finger to her chin, looking at the boy’s blood-stained, empty eye sockets, then at Guli and Melvitt.

Joe silently withdrew his gaze from the boy's corpse and continued playing cards with Melvitt.

“I’m tired of playing with him.” Cameron suddenly said with a serious expression. “Here you go, Guli.” With that, she threw the boy’s body at Guli.

"I don't eat food that isn't fully developed yet; it's not even considered fruit."

Guli swung the giant hammer at the end of his tail, smashing the boy's corpse to pieces, turning it into a cloud of blood mist that splattered on the wall.

He turned his head and looked at Joe and Melvitt, who were playing cards. "You two should stop playing too. The queen bee has already instructed the worker bees to bring over the captured superhumans. Now we should have a big feast."

"Why do we need to eat?" Joe suddenly asked.

Cameron smirked. "According to the Queen Bee, by feeding on special humans, we can unlock our potential and gain unique abilities."

"What is the significance of gaining this ability?" Joe asked again.

Guli said, "Of course, it's about trampling inferior races underfoot and conquering the world."

"What's the point of conquering the world?" Joe glanced at his hand, took one out, and placed it on the ground.

"Why do you think so much?" Gu Li said.

"I just can't understand why we exist in this world. According to human knowledge, everything will eventually dissolve, and the universe will eventually turn into nothingness... So what is the meaning of our birth?"

At this point, Joe looked up at the other three bee lords and asked, "Aren't you curious?"

“I don’t know.” Cameron touched the bow on his head. “I only know that human clothes are very nice, and some humans are very cute. I want to make them into toys.”

"The things that give us pleasure are the meaning of our existence," Gu Li said. "Killing to our heart's content, then eating to our hearts' content, isn't that enough?"

“I don’t understand these complicated things, but I really can’t play these human games, Joe…” Melvitt said, throwing away his cards, putting his hands on the ground behind him, and sighing.

Joe slowly put down his cards, lowered his head, and quietly pondered.

He turned his head to look at the bottom of the beehive.

At the foot of a high mountain, a dense swarm of bees all raised their heads, their stingers splitting open to reveal a grotesque mouth like a carnivorous plant, opening and closing as they desperately sucked up the thin sunlight in the air.

A moment later, swarms of Light-Eating Bees flew in from the edge of the island. Each Light-Eating Bee held a human corpse in its hands, and from a distance, they looked like a dark, oppressive cloud.

"The worker bees brought those special humans with them." Guli licked his lips.

“We haven’t eaten this kind of human before, have we? The queen bee said that this kind of human is not only delicious, but also beneficial to our evolution,” Melvitt said lazily.

"In human terms, this is a 'feast for the senses,' isn't it?" Cameron laughed.

Joe gazed silently into the distance, saying nothing. The sea breeze blew in from the horizon, brushing against his face.

At the same time, near the Japanese border, a private plane was flying through a sea of ​​clouds.

The cabin was quiet. Looking out the window, there was a sea of ​​clouds, sometimes resembling galloping horses, and sometimes like a soaring dragon.

“Actually, when I think back on it, I always feel it’s a pity,” Yu Ruier suddenly said. “What’s a pity?” Gu Qiye turned to look at her.

"Back when we were still in Lijing, it seemed like I could wait until you accepted the invitation and joined Rainbow Wing before we could carry out the mission to defeat 'Ghost Bell' together."

"why?"

She looked up. "Because that way you can end the Ghost Bell yourself, and you won't have any regrets..."

Gu Qiye suddenly fell silent. He held the controller in one hand, rubbed his forehead with the other, and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

Yuriel closed the game.

Garfield yawned. "I think we could learn from the next cabin. It's so quiet there, nobody talks."

"Is it strange for kids to sit at the same table? Are you going to bother those repressed adults next door?" Ruri Urushihara teased. "But I have a feeling that someone over there is about to get restless."

Before she could finish speaking, someone suddenly opened the cabin door and walked in.

Gu Qiye looked up and saw that the newcomer was wearing a traditional Chinese jacket and had long, straight black hair. He was none other than Fan Dongqing, the "Li Qing Zhi Zhou".

Fan Dongqing put his hands in his pockets, looked up at the six people in the cabin, and sighed, "I can't stand those taciturn guys next to me anymore. Someone, come and switch seats with me."

"Me me me."

Ruri Urushihara raised her hand like a child, smiled slightly, and then stood up.

"No, don't go." Fan Dongqing grabbed her arm, preventing her from leaving.

"Why?" Ruri Urushihara raised an eyebrow and turned to look at him.

"I'm so bored without you," Fan Dongqing said. "Let Garfield go over there, isn't he going to sleep?"

"Good, good...you've been a great help." Garfield yawned, got up from his seat, and then walked past the two of them.

He didn't even bother to remove his steam eye mask; he simply made a guide dog out of metal and a leash, and slowly walked forward while pulling on the leash.

When Jiujiu saw that the seat next to him was empty, the corner of his eye twitched.

"Hey, isn't this our pink-haired little sister?" Fan Dongqing greeted her. "We're sitting together again?"

Ninety-Nine looked up and glared at Fan Dongqing, saying slowly and deliberately, "Narcissistic man, can't you sit together?" After saying that, she got up and sat down in the back, next to Karina.

Are the two of them close?

As Gu Qiye asked the question, she turned her head and glanced at Qi Yuan Liuli and Fan Dongqing out of the corner of her eye.

“According to rumors, Fan Dongqing seems to have liked her for a long time,” Yu Ruier said softly. “Please don’t misunderstand, I don’t actually know what the definition of ‘like’ is, I just heard it from others.”

"So that's how it is." Gu Qiye withdrew his gaze.

He thought, Fan Dongqing shouldn't be a member of the Salvation Society. If my father and I capture Qi Yuan Liuli together, won't Fan Dongqing have to chase after our whole family? That scene would be really strange.

He sighed, glanced at the time, and saw that the plane was about to arrive in Japan according to the schedule.

“We’re almost in Japan. How about we play that game again to pass the time?” Gu Qiye suggested.

“Sure,” Yuriel said expressionlessly, “but don’t you dislike playing?”

“Actually, it’s quite fun,” Gu Qiye said, “but don’t choose the Ghost Bell.”

She thought for a moment, then lifted her icy blue eyes from beneath her bangs and stared at him intently.
"Then I'll choose Makutaki? I think it will also help you with your psychological issues."

"Forget it, why don't you choose the Ghost Bell instead?"

The two played "The Outlaws" for a while longer, and Yuri let him win a few rounds, finally stopping her from going easy on him this time.

With focused expression, she tapped the buttons and shook the lever. The ghost clock on the screen roared and suddenly summoned the clock tower.

With a "click-clack" sound, the clock tower's hands turned up to twelve o'clock, and the whole world was covered with a layer of mercury, even the black pupa was unable to move.

Then Ghost Bell roared forward, punching the black pupa's abdomen again and again, creating large holes.

The mercury that had enveloped the world disappeared, time resumed its normal flow, the black pupa spat out a mouthful of blood, knelt on the ground, and its health bar visibly decreased to zero.

"That's so unfair, your character is just too much," Gu Qiye said defiantly. "It's not like someone with a brain would play like that. He can even pause for two seconds. Who can beat him?"

“Then… shall we try a different character?” Yuriel asked, looking up at him.

"can."

Gu Qiye looked up, met her gaze, and then paused slightly. Suddenly, the sea of ​​clouds dipped in one corner, and sunlight streamed in through the gap, shining through the window onto the Icelandic girl's face, where a faint smile seemed to linger on her lips.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"So you can laugh after all?" he asked after thinking for a moment.

Yuriel paused for a moment, then composed herself slightly, first looking away from his face, and then silently putting on her Apple headphones.

She remained silent for a long time, like a robot with a delayed response, before finally saying, "It's probably because... very few people play games with me."

Gu Qiye nodded silently.

He lowered his head, and suddenly realized that he would betray Rainbow Wing in a few days and even become their enemy. Yuriel didn't know about the Salvation Society, and she would definitely stand on Rainbow Wing's side then.

Rather, the two were never close to begin with, so it wouldn't make sense for her to consider him a friend.

What kind of expression will she give him then? Will she still be smiling like she was just now? Of course not.

Gu Qiye breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head, and pulled herself out of her jumbled thoughts.

He turned to look out the window, the blinding sunlight hitting his face. His gaze pierced through the sea of ​​clouds, and for a fleeting moment, he could vaguely make out the outline of a city. The plane had arrived in Japan and was heading towards Osaka.
