Chapter 207: Division of Labor

Jiang Xia pushed open the big door, stepped inside, and various items were scattered messily throughout the shop.

Things wrapped in transparent packaging were thrown everywhere, along with these cardboard boxes and beverage bottles scattered on the floor; the radio buzzed amid the clutter.

It seemed that a fight had broken out here, and someone accidentally knocked over the shelf holding the clutter.

In Jiang Xia's view, all sorts of items seemed to reverse, and the metal parts scattered on the floor and the porcelain shards broken into pieces reformed here.

That wasn't difficult for him; if he chose to change careers, he could become the greatest detective in this world.

Jiang Xia crouched, picked up a small metal fragment, held it before his eyes; it had a circular hole that perfectly pierced the shell of the metal artifact.

"Three Molting Alien Insects, their Mimicry targets are all members of the Miying Squad; an insider leaked information, it seems Kagami will be missing for a long time this time."

Jiang Xia only thought for a moment, and had already roughly pieced together the whole incident.

How to put it, Kagami's overly formidable combat power and the effectively defunct Miying Squad finally made some people dissatisfied.

While Jiang Xia was pondering, Rixia Bu Xi obediently followed him; seeing this shop that looked like a fight scene, she simply tightened the small bag in her arms.

Crack! Jiang Xia pushed open the inner room, and a compact metal pistol came into view.

It had a white metal finish, about the size of a palm, could greatly boost combat power, and its barrel was aimed at his forehead.

A slight pressure on the pistol's grip would fire a scorching bullet at close range toward him.

If Kagami were here, he would be very surprised by the person pointing the gun at Jiang Xia.

Because he was the former captain of the Miying Squad and a former YellowBee Adept, Yiche thought.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Yiche thought, looking at the calm Jiang Xia who showed no fear of the barrel, and said.

"I'm just here to buy olive oil; everyone around here uses this shop's olive oil."

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he brushed the gun from Yiche's hand aside, then walked straight toward the back warehouse, where the three Alien Insects were hiding.

This kind of gun can't even pierce his skin; it's basically scrap metal.

Yiche looked at Rixia Bu Xu following behind Jiang Xia, his expression hardened, and said to him:

"This place is dangerous; if you want to buy something, it's advisable to come back in a few days."

He has been investigating the mysterious murders of Miying Squad members these past few days.

After he returned the YellowBee Wristband to the organization, he became a behind-the-scenes personnel responsible for monitoring Alien Insect activity.

From the initial intel of Alien Insect appearances to the discovery that Miying personnel were killed, he has been investigating continuously.

He would not allow Alien Insects to kill his comrades, even though he is no longer a YellowBee.

The back of this warehouse originally belonged to a Miying Squad member.

He had just arrived here, saw the chaotic shop, and already knew the Alien Insects' goal was to exterminate the Miying Squad.

"Actually, the one who should have left is you, not me," Jiang Xia said, looking at Yiche.

Yiche, who has lost his YellowBee, can't even defeat a larva; trying to take on three adult insects with just a pistol will only waste his life.

"What does that mean?" Yiche asked.

"Nothing special, just stating the fact plainly."

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, a YellowBee insect device appeared from the air and circled around Jiang Xia.

It still held a lingering affection for Jiang Xia; even Kagami and Yiche hadn't changed its fondness for him.

The YellowBee now flying beside Jiang Xia isn't his but Kagami's, indicating that Kagami is nearby.

"YellowBee insect device, you are the captain of the Miying Squad!"

Yiche, looking at the YellowBee that once belonged to him showing unusually affectionate behavior toward the man before him, exclaimed in surprise.

"No, I'm not; he is."

As soon as the words fell, Kagami's distinctive loud voice came from outside the door, "Jiang Xia, Xiao Xi, are you both alright?"

"Mr. Yiche, how did you end up here?"

Kagami looked at Yiche, who was wearing a black suit, and asked.

"It's really lively here."

Just as Kagami was puzzled, Tiandao, arriving right behind, also appeared here.

"Are you the Heavenly Dao Chief?" Yiche said, looking surprised at the Heavenly Dao Chief.

What's happening today? Not only is there a new YellowBee, but Jia Dou is also present here.

Just as Kagami was about to speak, Jiang Xia pointed to the back of the warehouse and said, "We are already surrounded by Alien Insects."

But the YellowBee insect device reacted even faster than Kagami and the others; a few larvae that had just emerged were instantly knocked away by it.

"Let's assign tasks; there are three adult insects," Jiang Xia said, looking at the Alien Insects that flew out.

"Let's see who kills the most," Tiandao said, standing upright.

Each adult insect per person, and the larvae began counting.

Kagami pulled up his sleeve, revealing the YellowBee Wristband, and placed it directly in the middle of the road.

This is a great chance to show off.

Jiang Xia, however, pulled Rixia Bu Xi ahead, letting the Alien Insects go to the two of them first.

The people beside Yiche were stunned; what on earth were these three doing, using Alien Insects to compete?

Even when he was a YellowBee, it wasn't this inflated.

Also, where did the Miying Squad go? Shouldn't they be cooperating with the YellowBee?

Perfect harmony, then?

"Stay right here, don't run around."

Jiang Xia pulled Rixia Bu Xi and placed her in a safe spot.

"Mm." Rixia Bu Xi nodded.

Strange, she wasn't scared at all this time; in fact, when she just left, she even felt a little excited.

Moreover, she felt a hint of curiosity about his fighting style.

And above Rixia Bu Xi, there was also a blue dragonfly, carrying a gun handle, floating in the air.

Peng!

Yiche hid behind a pile of junk, watching YellowBee and Jia Dou transform one after another, but he could only hold a small pistol, truly making him feel indignant and helpless.

This is totally not his style; he should be the one acting as Commander.

Boom!

The explosion's sound rang directly in Yiche's ear, and the surrounding larvae were all blown apart.

When Jiang Xia arrived, the larvae had already been blown apart.

"The desire to win can actually greatly boost their efficiency in killing Alien Insects,"

"It seems they both have a competitive fire burning inside."

Jiang Xia looked at Heavenly Dao Chief and Kagami, who had left him only one adult insect, and spoke slowly.

Both of them want to win; Heavenly Dao Chief needs no saying—he's been winning since childhood, not only never losing, but also having an abnormal obsession with victory.

Kagami is the standard hot-blooded male lead who, through his own effort, began to grow stronger; his growth path is very clear, and likewise he has repeatedly fought and lost, lost and fought again.

"henshin (transformation)"

Jiang Xia grabbed Jia Dou's insect device, placed it at his waist, and instantly entered Knight mode.

"Really, it's even sparked my competitive spirit a bit." Jiang Xia looked at the Alien Insect before him and spoke slowly.

Now all three are in acceleration mode.

Kagami and Heavenly Dao Chief were also surprised seeing Jiang Xia's transformed Jia Dou, but afterward they felt no need to question it further.

Black Jia Dou, surpassing Jia Dou, this is the third set they've seen; moreover, Kagami knows Jiang Xia can also transform into YellowBee, making Jia Dou the fourth set.

Compared to Kagami, who is already used to Jiang Xia wearing different Knight Armor, Heavenly Dao Chief is not the same.

He felt a sense of relief, as this would guarantee complete fairness—under identical armor, who truly has the stronger combat power.

Jiang Xia gestured, and the Hundred Insect Sword instantly appeared in his hand.
