"Two Bee Kings." As soon as this concept appeared in their conversation, the prison room fell into silence.
Ji Minghuan tilted his head, curiously looking at his ntor. But the ntor seed unwilling to say more.
"Ji Minghuan, I’ve co to play with you!" The tal door suddenly opened, and a red-haired girl dressed in a hospital gown walked in, greeting with a broad smile.
Following close behind was another girl with black hair, also dressed in a hospital gown. She didn’t speak, quietly entering.
The two girls stepped over the threshold, and the technologic tal door slowly closed, taking away the bright light that stread in from the corridor.
The red-haired girl wrinkled her nose, moved her hand from blocking the strong light off her forehead, and slowly opened her eyes;
The black-haired girl crossed her hands behind her back, squinting for a mont with her head low before gently raising it, the teardrop-shaped mole at the corner of her eye making her look like a wary little cat.
"Why did you co so early?" Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows, tilting his head towards them.
"Aren’t you happy we ca early?" Sun Changkong asked.
"Traitor..." Shang Xiaoqi muttered.
Sun Changkong suddenly blinked, realizing the room had two people. She curiously looked at the ntor and Ji Minghuan, witnessing them alone for the first ti.
"Ji Minghuan, what were you talking about with the ntor?" She asked as she walked, exposing her small canine teeth.
Shang Xiaoqi silently followed behind her, occasionally glancing at the ntor, then Ji Minghuan. Shang Xiaoqi disliked the ntor the most, she slightly frowned, lowering her face, hesitating whether to draw near or not.
"So what are you doing?" Sun Changkong asked while pulling up a chair for Shang Xiaoqi, "Hey, Little Qi, sit here."
Shang Xiaoqi saw the chair was closer to Ji Minghuan and farther from the ntor, so she sat down.
Sun Changkong saw no empty chairs were left, so she summoned the Sorsault Cloud.
The red light on her chest flashed, her hospital gown was gently blown by the wind. Then a soft white cloud descended rapidly at her feet, like a ninja always ready.
Sun Changkong sat on it, cross-legged, resting her hands on her ankles, commanding the Sorsault Cloud to align with the three.
"What exactly are you doing?" She raised her fiery red eyebrows, looking at Ji Minghuan, then at the ntor.
The two seed like statues, unwilling to speak.
Ji Minghuan rested his cheek on his hand, hung his eyes low, silently tapping his fingers on the tabletop.
The ntor took out a pack of cigarettes from his white coat pocket, pulled one out, placed it in his mouth, retrieved a lighter with his other hand, tilted his head closer to the lighter and lit the cigarette.
He took a deep drag of the cigarette and then held it between his index and middle fingers, remaining silent.
"The ntor said his stress has grown to the point he’s about to get depression, so he’s here to relieve it with ," Ji Minghuan said, "He might want to use my reality influence ability to eliminate such troubles completely, who knows?"
"If your ability really helps achieve these things, that would be great." The ntor smiled, blue smoke swirling at his fingertips.
"So you don’t deny it then?" Ji Minghuan asked, "You’re sending ssages because you want to use my ability to accomplish certain things."
"How could that be?" The ntor said, "I’m simply confiding my troubles to you."
"You might as well remove the suppressant on ; if I truly had such ability, it would only take a second to make the Light-Eating Bee disappear from this world."
"You know that’s an impossible task..." The ntor sighed, shaking his head.
"Are you referring to ’unable to remove my suppressant,’ or ’I can’t make the Light-Eating Bee disappear in a second’?" Ji Minghuan disdainfully asked.
"We’ve never doubted your ability, otherwise, there wouldn’t be a need to bring you to our base." The ntor said, then suddenly changed topic, "By the way, I’ve got so issues to attend to recently, soone will temporarily take my position."
"Who?"
"Koajenna," the ntor said.
"Koajenna?"
Ji Minghuan muttered, pretending not to know, but his heart stirred slightly.
He certainly knew the na, just not very impressed by it.
Back when the Whale Terrarium hadn’t been destroyed, Cezar had introduced his number three to Ji Minghuan, saying Koajenna was a mber of the Royal Court Team.
Moreover, she was the one who abandoned the Great Prince, Second Prince, and Empress when the White Crow Travel Brigade invaded the Whale Terrarium, fleeing alone. As he thought of this, a figure slowly erged in Ji Minghuan’s mind.
A lazy girl clad in Royal Court Team’s white gown, hair tied into a bun, constantly drooping eyelids.
The ntor nodded, "Yes, Koajenna was once part of the Royal Court Team and is the holder of the Generational-level Anecdote Fragnt ’Bermuda Triangle.’ Ever since the terrarium was destroyed, she returned to the Salvation Society."
Ji Minghuan rolled his eyes at him, "Didn’t you lie to saying, ’Because the Whale Terrarium is a closed environnt, it’s impossible to infiltrate,’ turns out that was all bluff?"
The ntor apologetically smiled.
He continued, "Then I’ll soon let Koajenna et with you all. She’ll temporarily take over my duties, chatting with you... While I settle other matters."
"Does other matters refer to the Light-Eating Bee?"
"No, this is just one of many." The ntor took a drag of his cigarette.
Shang Xiaoqi and Sun Changkong watched them curiously from beginning to end, glancing at both the ntor and Ji Minghuan.
The two of them were chatting in gibberish for ages, but they couldn’t understand a word, even though it was all in Chinese, it sounded like alien language.
"What are you two whispering about?" Sun Changkong crossed her arms, puffing up her cheeks slightly.
"A traitor... colluding with the ntor. I’ve noted it down." Shang Xiaoqi mumbled quietly, nearly on the verge of tears.
She had thought she had made real friends, but even Ji Minghuan was so close to the ntor. Perhaps Ji Minghuan was the ntor’s spy placed beside her, secretly planned all along.
"Alright, alright." Ji Minghuan raised his eyes to look at the ntor, "Two bee kings, huh? That does sound quite tricky, good luck to you."
The ntor nodded, "I’ll leave after I finish this cigarette."
Shang Xiaoqi silently sat on Ji Minghuan’s bed, laid down, and suddenly pulled the quilt over her head. "Strong people... don’t inhale secondhand smoke." Her voice slightly choked with sobs.
Sun Changkong was montarily stunned, and also silently made the Sorsault Cloud fly higher, she didn’t want to inhale secondhand smoke either.
"Letting children inhale secondhand smoke, you really are a sinful man." Ji Minghuan yawned, finally finding an excuse to attack the ntor.
"Sorry, I’m human too. Occasionally I have so bad habits." The ntor grinned with a cigarette in his mouth, looking downward.
Ji Minghuan looked at him speechlessly, pondering, "Speaking of which, how strong can a bee king really be?"
The ntor took one last drag of his cigarette, then snuffed the butt, pausing in silence, "The power of a bee king is terrifying enough to rival a Mythical Level Anecdote Fragnt holder."
"Really?"
"Of course, this is just our speculation, after all, the bee king hasn’t been born yet."
"Oh my, since things are so serious, why don’t you just send the boss and Shang Xiaoqi over?" Ji Minghuan said, "Can Rainbow Wings’ little minions really handle two bee kings?"
"No." The ntor shook his head, "Since no bee king has been born yet, it ans the Bee Princes haven’t started killing each other. Perhaps it’s because they still don’t understand the real way to birth a bee king, so... we have no need to expose ourselves yet."
"So you all can be afraid too, afraid of being discovered by the outside world." Ji Minghuan said, "Or do you only take action when the situation becos unmanageable? Can’t you show a bit of the determination you had when you captured ? I haven’t even started to destroy the world, and you were already so anxious."
"I’m leaving." The ntor put the snuffed-out cigarette in his pocket, "She’s here too."
He finished, smiled slightly, got up from the chair, and turned around to walk out of the confinent room.
The tal door opened, and the ntor glanced up at the bun-haired girl in the white coat, greeted her, and then passed her by, walking into the brightly lit hallway.
Koajenna approached slowly. Her dark circles were as heavy as ever, and a bun was still tied on top of her head.
"Little brats." She yawned lazily and said, "I’m your ntor from now on, you can consult for any psychological issues, but no puberty-related troubles."
With that, she moved closer to the table under the curious gazes of the three, sat down on the chair, and tilted her head to look at Ji Minghuan.
....
....
anwhile, it was already late at night in Japan.
In the eting room on the fifteenth floor of the Osaka Mutants Association building, there were only two figures, one was a blue-haired, blue-eyed boy wearing a black sweater, and the other was Commander Chen Qian, dressed in a uniform.
Garfield was lying on a swivel chair playing with his phone when a flash of blue light suddenly appeared in front of him.
He said, "Ah... I’ve received a notification from a few small drones I left on the island."
"What notification?" Commander Chen Qian asked.
"It says a Bee Prince has left the Naless Island." Garfield replied.
"Left the Naless Island?" Chen Qian frowned, staying silent for a while, then turned to look at him, "Which Bee Prince?"
"I checked, it seems to be the Great Bee Lord." Garfield said, creating a lens with his superpower, which replayed a surveillance video.
He enlarged the image and slowed down the playback by a hundred tis, barely capturing a black silhouette, the only one of the four Bee Princes that was entirely pitch-black, was the Great Bee Lord ’Qiao.’
"The Great Bee Lord?" Chen Qian said, "The Bee Prince you encountered before?"
"Yes... its na is ’Qiao.’" Garfield said, "Its flying speed is too fast, the drone has already lost track of it. But it seems to be heading towards Osaka."
He paused, "Which ans, it’s very likely targeting us."
Chen Qian gasped, "But given the intelligence of a Bee Prince, they shouldn’t do sothing so self-destructive, launching an attack on enemy territory alone in the middle of the night doesn’t seem logical."
"So, should we put the building in alert status?" Garfield asked.
"No, no need to rush." Chen Qian shook her head, "No need to alert them unnecessarily, let’s see what the Great Bee Lord intends to do first."
