My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 328 The Game of the Alien Races, Countdown, Bloodshed (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
August 13, 19:00 Japan time, Osaka Port.

Night had fallen, and Osaka Bay was enveloped in a peaceful twilight, while the Tempozan Ferris Wheel in the distance lit up the night sky. Countless LED lights flowed and shifted between the steel frame, transforming this massive 112-meter-tall structure into a halo of light.

At this very moment, by the harbor fence, the twelve members of Rainbow Wing—Fan Dongqing, Ke Qingzheng, Gu Qiye, Qiyuan Liuli, Garfield, Jiujiu, Father of Puppet, Karina, Alexandra, Oda Hideaki, Yuriel, and Esther—have gathered.

Four red and blue camouflage fighter jets were parked beside them, ready for takeoff.

The "Operation Exterminate the Light-Eating Bees" will begin in five hours, at which time most of the members will board the fighter jets created by Garfield using his superpowers and head to the island at full speed.

In the task assignments, some people are responsible for eliminating worker bees, some are responsible for raiding beehives, fighting against the four queen bees, and taking the queen bee's head, while others will stay in Osaka.

Esther Doolittle, the dark-haired, red-eyed girl, lay quietly in an open coffin, the hem of her Gothic Lolita dress billowing out like a flower.

Before she went to sleep, she had instructed Oda Hideaki to wake her up before the operation began.

The reason why Oda Hideaki was the one who was instructed was probably because only Oda Hideaki in the organization would respectfully knock twice on the coffin and gently wake her up.

The other people's methods were either quite brutal, or they were freaks like Karina and the Puppet Father whose thinking was different from ordinary people. Esther would never entrust the task of waking her up to them, lest she be in a bad mood and blow up Garfield's four fighter jets at once.

In fact, Esther will not participate in the raid on the nameless island; she will stay in Osaka to prevent an attack by the bee horde—although everyone thinks that's nonsense, she just wants to sleep, and the probability of the bee horde suddenly attacking Osaka is extremely low.

The tide had come in. Under the cover of night, the sea surged and the black waves crashed against the lighthouse, breaking into white spray that rose high into the sky.

A dark cumulonimbus cloud is drifting in from afar, and it's likely to rain soon. Judging from the size of the cloud, the rain will be quite heavy.

At this moment, apart from Esther, who was resting in the coffin, the remaining eleven members of Rainbow Wing were all listening to a long speech from Commander Chen Qian on their tablets.

Gu Qiye didn't have a tablet, so he had to huddle together with Yu Ruier, arms crossed.

The two leaned against the railing, enjoying the night breeze, while silently watching the elegant woman on the tablet, their heads almost touching.

If the background in the picture wasn't a conference room, anyone would think they had turned on CCTV's News Broadcast channel; this commander's appearance was far too proper.

"Let's double-check one last time. Do you all know the tasks you've been assigned?" Commander Chen Qian asked, "Especially you, Fan Dongqing."

"What's wrong with me now?" Fan Dongqing asked, not knowing how many times he had been singled out. Today he was wearing that pure white Tang suit again, and was sitting on a public wooden bench with one arm around his shoulder and his legs crossed, holding his phone in the other hand.

"Don't let yourself get to the island and suddenly forget what you're supposed to do," Chen Qian said.

"I remember now, Garfield and I fought that Dynamaxed Zephyr, its name was something like 'Guli,' right?" Fan Dongqing tilted his head and asked irritably.

“Yes,” Chen Qian said. “Garfield’s drones are still monitoring the situation on the island. So far, neither the hive nor the worker bees on the island have shown any unusual behavior. They probably haven’t realized that we are about to launch a raid.”

Garfield sat on the fence, his sweater collar turned up to shield himself from the night wind, looking down at the drone's monitoring screen on his phone, his blue eyes devoid of emotion.

The surveillance footage on the phone switched rapidly, sometimes showing the entrance to the hive, sometimes the east, west, south, and north sides of the island, sometimes the beach at the edge of the island, and sometimes even the undulating sea around the island.

His drones patrolled every corner without missing a single one—but dared not fly into the hive itself, because it was pointless: as soon as they got close to the hive, they would be detected by the four queen bees and crushed in an instant.

"What's the point of making us wait here for five hours?" Fan Dongqing yawned.

"If the bee colony suddenly takes action before midnight, the plan may change."

"You're not going to expect us to wait at the port for five hours, are you?" Fan Dongqing asked again.

“Alright, I’ll allow you to wander around the neighborhood, but don’t go too far.” Chen Qian sighed. “Although even if I didn’t say anything, you would definitely wander around anyway… You’re always like this, not taking the mission seriously.”

"It helped a lot."

As Fan Dongqing spoke, he put his hands in his pockets and walked straight towards Urushihara Ruri.

Ruri Urushihara turned her head to the side, silently gazing at the Tempozan Ferris Wheel in the distance, lost in thought. The brightly lit giant wheel was reflected in her clear, glass-like pupils.

"What are you doing?" She curled the corners of her lips and slowly turned to look at Fan Dongqing.

"I'm asking you to go shopping," Fan Dongqing said. "What else could it be? Don't play dumb."

Ruri Urushihara tilted her head. "What did I do to make you so persistent?"

“I don’t understand you, so I want to get to know you,” Fan Dongqing said.

“There are plenty of people you don’t understand, I’m not one of them,” Ruri Urushihara said calmly.

There are many people I don't understand, but I don't want to understand them; I only want to understand you.

Ruri Urushihara paused, a self-deprecating smile curving her lips. "Sometimes... I feel like a puppet. I don't even understand myself, let alone you." "So, are you coming or not?" Hoshino pulled a hand out of her pocket and extended it towards her.

Ruri Urushihara was silent for a moment, then looked up at Hodo Ao, her gaze clear and sharp.

“I bet she won’t accept,” Jiujiu said, her pink twin ponytails bobbing up and down in the sea breeze.

“I don’t think so either,” Garfield said. “But actually, Ruri Urushibara doesn’t seem to dislike narcissistic men that much, but I don’t know why she keeps rejecting him.”

"Garfield, don't you know nothing about love?" Ninety-Nine turned her head, frowning as she stared at him.

Garfield turned up his sweater collar to cover his mouth, too lazy to continue speaking.

To their surprise, Ruri Urushihara accepted Hofuu Sei's invitation and went out with him. Tsukumo was dumbfounded, his jaw almost dropping in astonishment.

Ke Qingzheng watched this scene in silence, adjusted his glasses, and could only stand alone at the port in a daze. He usually went shopping with Fan Dongqing.

Karina, Oda Hideaki, and Alexandra pulled out a bottle of red wine from somewhere, grabbed a few glasses, and sat down on the shore to sip it.

The Father of Puppetry stood with his arms crossed, his oversized trench coat billowing in the sea breeze. He stared blankly at the distant rain clouds, a hoarse murmur emanating from beneath his bandages, but no one could understand what he was saying.

"Since they're all like this, shall we go shopping together?" Gu Qiye turned to look at You Ruier.

“The operation is about to begin, so let’s not relax now…” Yuri’er was halfway through her sentence when she looked up and met Gu Qiye’s gaze. She paused for a moment, then changed her words and said, “Okay.”

The two arrived at the harbor area, where rows of lanterns hung overhead at the night market. Smoke curled from the food stalls, carrying the aroma of grilled fish. As the stall owners wielded their spatulas, the splattering oil from the hot plate almost overlapped with the red glow of the lanterns overhead.

Gu Qiye bought a box of takoyaki and stood by the railing with You Ruier. They looked down at the river, their dim silhouettes cast on the water. A passing boat rippled through the water, shattering their small shadows and merging them into the shimmering surface.

The salty sea breeze brushed against their cheeks, and the sounds of street performers playing guitar and the tireless roar of the waves filled their ears.

“I’ve never ridden a Ferris wheel before.” Gu Qiye suddenly looked up and gazed at the Tianbaoshan Ferris Wheel in the distance.

“I can sit with you once,” Yuriel said, looking up as well. “If you’d like.”

"Let's talk about it later. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens on the Ferris wheel, we might not be able to get off," Gu Qiye laughed.

"understood."

Yuriel looked away from the Ferris wheel and followed Gu Qiye back to the brightly lit street.

However, at this very moment, directly above the Tempozan Ferris Wheel, not far from Osaka Port, a horrifying scene of blood was unfolding in one of the Ferris wheel cabins, a blood-soaked spectacle reminiscent of a B-movie.

Cameron, the Three-Bee King, tore open a man's chest with his claws. The man lost consciousness before he could even scream. At that moment, an ice-blue crystal suddenly appeared in Cameron's right hand.

This is a product of her supernatural abilities.

She used her claws to embed the crystal into the man's still-beating heart, and his heart began to pound violently. An eerie sound echoed in the silent Ferris wheel cabin, and the next moment, the man's body gradually transformed into a giant cocoon.

Looking down from above the Ferris wheel, Cameron felt as if the entire Osaka Port was unfolding in her sea-blue eyes.

A huge sightseeing boat sailed in from afar, its surface adorned with warm yellow strings of lights. It slowly cleaved through the dark sea, illuminating the surrounding waters.
If you look closely, you can see that the tourists on the sightseeing boat have all been disemboweled, but they have a strange smile on their faces. Inside their hearts, a sea-blue crystal is beating. White silk like cocoons gradually wraps around their bodies, transforming them into non-human creatures.

"The game... has begun." Cameron smirked and licked his lips.

She looked out the window of her Ferris wheel cabin into the distance, where the cables of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge stretched across the night sky like a golden string, reaching towards the undulating mountain shadows.

Further away, the skyscrapers of Umeda and Abeno wards stand side by side like luminous giants against the backdrop of the sky.

The night at Osaka Port is a breathtaking blend of light and darkness. The jubilant tourists, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, share a common understanding with Cameron, who surveys the city like a hunter: tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
