Chapter 68: The Inquirer

Hongyue lowered her eyes and said nothing, and the two figures hurriedly left the hotel.

In the deepest night of four o'clock in the morning, they forced themselves to walk through eight streets before squatting on the corner to catch their breath.

Sitting in the alley behind a low house, Matteo moved his ankle and looked at his fellow travelers, who had been flustered all the way. Vika sat in the corner with a gloomy face, staring blankly at the air, as if thinking about something important.

Although the physical strength of the two passers-by was not bad with the increase in their physique due to their extraordinary strength, Vika's nervous pull on Mattio and his constant detour to a dark place still added a lot of psychological burden to them.

"Can't we, go straight......" Matteo exhaled heavily, carrying a rather heavy suitcase with a lot of stuff in it.

Vika, who didn't have a weight on his body, seemed much more relaxed, and the "machine" potion itself had improved the body's conditioning: "No, it's dangerous, I always feel like a shadow is chasing after us."

"Then you're still standing outside my door in the middle of the night, why don't you knock on the door and call me to go with you?"

Vika scratched the back of her head in embarrassment, "Aren't I, waiting for fate to give me a clear revelation?" Then you open the door......

"If I don't open the door, are you going to stand all night?"

"Probably not." Vika looked away, fumbled around for a moment, and finally pulled out a small cloth bag.

Matteo looked at Vika curiously, "I don't know if the boat has been repaired, and if not, are we going to rent a boat?" I don't have enough money."

"I still have a little savings on hand, and if the situation is too embarrassing, I can also ask my teacher for help." As she spoke, Vika pulled out an emerald green leaf from her cloth bag.

The green immediately caught Matteo's attention: "What is this?"

Instead of answering, Vika brought the leaf to his lips and exhaled vigorously to blow it, and in a humming sound that made Mattio mentally uncomfortable, an invisible spiritual rift opened in front of Vika, and from it flew an insect about the size of a wild cat.

Its body structure is similar to that of a bee, with a smooth hard inverted triangular head topped by two slender but curled tentacles, and its thorax and abdomen to tail are covered with dense light yellow hairs, and the short gray hairs are scattered on the outside of the abdomen, but instead of being circular, it is a large staggered vertical line with a checkerboard pattern on the edge, but an inverted triangle symbol wrapped in the middle.

The bee's legs are hovered with a streamer-like silver halo, giving it a very beautiful look, which reduces the intimidating sense of sharp barbs on its legs.

Matteo had seen the spirit creature and knew it was Vika's messenger, so he wasn't surprised.

But he remembered that when he had asked Mr. Alexander for details of the symbol, the most knowledgeable man on board the Clover had only told Matteo the famous words of Russell the Great, "Knowledge has no end."

Except for one question, Matteo didn't get any information, just remembered the pattern that made him a little concerned.

The tentacles of the large bee trembled in the air, and it shook Matteo twice before turning his head back to his summoner. Its compound eyes are floating with silvery-white phantoms, as if there are many fine snowflakes fluttering on the inside, but there is no real eyeball structure.

Soon, the thin, translucent wings behind it raised slightly, and began to vibrate rapidly, making a murmuring voice, still in the ancient Phusak language: "Eyes on the man of fate, are you going to deliver a message?"

When he was first promoted to Sequence 8 "Machine", Vika had nightmares for days on end, and the buzzing of bees echoed throughout the dream. It wasn't until early on the weekend morning, when he recited the name as he had agreed with Esther, that the strange dream vanished.

But instead, it was the bee that had been stuck in the dream, staring at Vika with wide eyes, and even Vika always felt that the bee at that time was even more confused than he was dreaming. In the end, Vika had no choice but to write down the spell that summoned the bee and made a token. There is no danger in divination in one's own teacher

and agreed to assist Vika in the ritual, and then Vika signed a contract with the other party as a "messenger".

For now, Vika feels compelled to use its peculiarities to ensure that she and Matteo arrive safely at the port, a bee with a very special ability to seek answers to its "divination" can often be extraordinarily revealed.

Vika was now trying to take advantage of the rest moment to ask the bee—at least Vika's spiritual instincts told him should, "No, I have a question for you."

The large bee rubbed its forefeet, a motion that made it look more like a fly for a moment, and it vibrated its wings again and made a sound: "The answer is the same as the price."

"I know, what I want to ask is—"

But before Vika could finish speaking, the bee snapped its wings and interrupted it: "Because there are other dependents here, I want to be paid twice."

Vika raised a hand and glanced at Matteo next to him with a helpless expression, "Wait, that's a bit excessive, it's not what you said before."

The bee's sound as it flapped its wings also became rapid, and it seemed that its temper was not very good, and Mattio could even hear its obvious displeasure: "Is there anything wrong with changing with fate?"

Vika glanced at Matteo, "Would you like to give it half of its spirituality?"

"That depends on what you're asking...... I'm at a loss right now." Matteo replied calmly.

"Then I'll take your consent," Vika said decisively, ignoring Matteo's stunned expression, and turning back to look at his strange messenger, "The shadow is on its heels, how do we escape from our doom?"

The bee shook her tentacles in confusion and turned to Matteo's place again, "Is this your problem, or his?"

Without hesitation, Vika said, "His problem, I see death in him, with his situation as the main thing."

Matteo didn't expect Vika to say this, and quickly calmed down, waiting for the bee's next move.

Once again, the giant spirit insect began to move its front legs, and no matter how many times he looked at it, Mattio felt that this movement was too much like a fly.

This time, however, a thin piece of silver light was pulled from the tip of the bee's leg, and its viscous texture resembled honey, and as the bee dripped it to the ground, it quickly expanded and swung away, forming a puddle.

However, before Matteo or Vika could see something in the puddle, the silver light had already been sucked into the mouth by the bees.

Its mouthparts slowly agitated and chewed, and the wings behind it flapped again:

"Now, head north, ...... at once The shadow of the stalker has fallen on you, and if death is to dissipate, the only way to do so is to pull the web of fate."

"I really hate the way you speak in the 'Destiny' way." Matteo said with a blank face.
