Chapter 199: The Iron-Faced Man

"Screech—" The tires screeched against the ground when braking.

By the time the Alien Insect reacted, the motorcycle front that resembled a YellowBee had already slammed into the Alien Insect's body, sending the Alien Insect flying.

The YellowBee's silhouette reappeared above the motorcycle.

He flicked the bee tail on his right hand, and the YellowBee insect apparatus flipped over, and the powerful electric hum caused the motorcycle to begin transforming as well.

In the instant the metal fragments vanished, the ordinary ZECT members nearby witnessed a surprising sight.

In Knight form, the YellowBee, using its formidable strength, blasted away the surrounding Alien Insects that hadn't yet had time to molt.

The continuous sound of Alien Insect explosions rang out around them.

Meanwhile, the motorcycle also underwent a massive change.

The outer shell disappeared entirely, and two yellowish wings unfolded, resembling an enlarged metallic YellowBee.

This motorcycle is linked with the YellowBee Wristband, and devices such as Jia Dou and Steel Bucket share a similar system.

"RiderSting (Knight Thrust)"

The sharp spikes coalesced as Kagami continuously swung his right hand, charging toward the surrounding Alien Insects.

At the same time, the YellowBee motorcycle, after Molting, raised its high rear tail spike, turning into a yellow beam that completely sealed off the Alien Insects.

Under the dazzling green flames, the YellowBee motorcycle drifted slowly above Kagami.

The Miying Squad that rushed over with Kagami only formed a single formation, and the Alien Insects were already annihilated.

YingShan looked at Kagami, noting that this YellowBee differed from the one Yiche had become.

This combat was stronger, the physique more robust, and the speed of eliminating Alien Insects unusually rapid.

Obviously, under Kagami's control, the YellowBee's combat ability became even greater.

Perhaps it is because the wearer of the YellowBee's gear has changed that the Miying Squad lost its intended effectiveness.

"Is this really Kagami?"

JiaYouYue sat in the mobile command vehicle, gazing at the virtually indestructible YellowBee, murmuring.

This YellowBee is far tougher than Yiche; with so many Alien Insects, it can't even buy any time.

One punch per child—truly overwhelming.

JiaYouYue thought this.

The YellowBee insect apparatus flew off his wrist, revealing Kagami's now hardened face.

"Clear the battlefield," Kagami ordered the surrounding Ant Soldiers.

"Yes, Captain."

"I finally can transform!"

I finally succeeded in becoming a Knight too; turning into a Knight to slay Alien Insects is such a thrill.

"Later, I'll proudly show Jiang Xia my record of slaughtering Alien Insects, and have him cook a feast for me."

Kagami let out an excited howl in his mind.

Although he felt ecstatic to death, he still kept a captain's authority on his face.

His gaze appeared very calm as he began inspecting the Ant Soldiers' performance.

Shegu, Area X.

"Master, a considerable number of Alien Insect Eggs are stored here."

Ye Ji wore a coat, covering all her tattoos, looking like a diligent tour guide.

She began introducing each attraction here.

"The scale of the Alien Insect Eggs here isn't large; each Alien Insect is a very precious treasure.

However, over the past seven years, a huge number of Alien Insects have already integrated into human society, so I still need a little more time."

As Ye Ji finished speaking, Jiang Xia stood before this batch of Alien Insect Eggs.

The scene here can cause psychological discomfort for most ordinary people.

Even if photographed, a mosaic would cover the entire picture.

However, Jiang Xia smiled, noting that inside each egg, one could faintly see an unhatched Alien Insect.

He doesn't suffer from trypophobia or anything; on the contrary, the number of these Alien Insect Eggs met his expectations.

"Well done, Ye Ji, not in vain that I created you."

Jiang Xia's eyes flashed a red light, then, like petting a kitten, he gently stroked her head as a reward.

He had no real reward for Ye Ji, only this symbolic gesture; he rarely pays wages.

Still, that's enough; rewards among monsters are at most like this.

Otherwise, catching a person as an appetizer? Obviously impossible.

"By the way, I also found an amusing person here," Ye Ji said, raising her head with a hint of bragging.

As Ye Ji opened a room, Jiang Xia raised an eyebrow; this was indeed an unexpected find.

"There were apparently guards here originally, but I drove them away; however, I followed the master's orders and didn't harm them.

After all, harming humans is only permissible if humans strike first."

"Clang clang, the toy makes its entrance."

Suddenly, a person stood before Jiang Xia, staring up at them viciously.

The posture of standing up was perfectly normal, but anyone seeing this would instantly think Jiang Xia a pervert.

The person whined, continuously emitting mournful cries.

He wasn't standing here voluntarily; both of his arms were bound by iron chains.

The chain ends were fastened to the wall, locked securely.

Both legs were likewise restrained by wire, spread apart, with ankles nailed to the floor.

His head wore an iron mask, only his two eyes exposed, and his mouth seemed to be blocked by something.

Deprived of his ability to speak, but Jiang Xia had already figured out this person's true identity.

Or rather, he shouldn't be called a person; he and the Alien Insect are actually related.

Based on the surrounding dust and the desolation here, the iron-masked person has been in this lightless place for a considerable time, and Jiang Xia concluded it was seven years.

Although one could roughly glimpse the torment he endured in the Original Insect project and the original timeline,

But only after Jiang Xia finished a detailed review of the iron-masked person's data did he realize what this person had actually endured.

Jiang Xia said, "Let him out."

"Okay, Master."

Ye Ji gripped the iron bars with both hands; with just a little force she bent the originally solid steel prison.

revealing a large hole big enough for a person to pass through.

Seeing the woman before him actually bend the iron bars bare-handed, the iron-masked person instantly fell silent.

His eyes behind the iron mask narrowed; obviously he knew.

These two were not sent by Neigan to torture him, nor were they deceiving him; they truly wanted to set him free.

Click—

Ye Ji bare-handedly severed the iron chains binding the iron-masked person, restoring his freedom.

The previously bound body suddenly burst forth with a green light, shaking open the iron mask covering his head.

The revealed face, which Jiang Xia could see every day now, was that of the Heavenly Dao Chief.

However, compared to the Heavenly Dao Chief's usual overflowing confidence and smile, this face now looked utterly disheveled.

If they weren't twins, the only possibility was mimicry—and not an ordinary mimicry.

The Heavenly Dao Chief before them, clad in rags, was originally just an ordinary human.

Many years ago, he was captured by the Original Insect radical faction led by Neigan, subjected to inhumane experiments attempting to turn humans into Original Insects.

In the long-term experiments, the human test subject's memories were erased, and the remaining body was successfully transformed into an Original Insect.

And he mimicked the youthful appearance of the Heavenly Dao Chief, and has been kept here by Neigan all along.

He is essentially another Heavenly Dao Chief.

Because their upbringings differed greatly, although they share the same memories, their personalities differ markedly.

"Who are you?" the mimicked Heavenly Dao Chief asked, barely managing to straighten his body.

Although he is an Original Insect, having been imprisoned here and tormented, even an Original Insect's body cannot endure it.

Moreover, with the joy of just being released and regaining freedom, and the hatred toward those Original Insects that tormented him,

After the mimicked Heavenly Dao Chief finished speaking, his eyes rolled back, he collapsed to the ground and passed out.

"Include him in the plan; the Original Insect's scientific capability is also quite important."

Jiang Xia looked at the fainted mimicked Heavenly Dao Chief and said.

The Black Jia Dou that Jiang Xia originally possessed was originally the mimicked Heavenly Dao Chief's, a one-to-one replica of what the Heavenly Dao Chief possessed.

Including his abnormal obsession with his sister's feelings—of course not Shuhua, but an obsession with Rixia Bu Xi.

"Okay, Master, I will clean it and then deliver it intact before you."

Ye Ji licked her lips, looking at the mimicked Heavenly Dao Chief and said.

Jiang Xia directly ignored Ye Ji's ambiguous remark.

"I don't know how Master will modify this Original Insect."

Ye Ji, while thinking, grabbed the mimicked Heavenly Dao Chief's arm and dragged him along; since Original Insects aren't human, at least their vitality is stronger than humans', so dragging him won't cause injury.
