Chapter 1041: Self-Directed?! The Bee Queen Produced Royal Jelly!

Cleaner!

Suddenly, Su Yang blurted out.

"What did you say?" Zhang Tiancheng was slightly startled.

Su Yang ate the last grain of rice, let out a satisfied belch, and slowly set down his bowl and chopsticks.

He then picked up the water on the table, took a sip, and finally wiped his mouth with a paper.

Yu Guang glanced at the Bee Queen still eating, and said, "Who among you has seen the Cleaner?"

Everyone looked at each other, then shook their heads.

Su Yang fetched a toothpick, put it in his mouth, and said, "After killing a Monster, notify the Cleaner to clean the scene and handle the corpse; this is a post‑cleanup team that all Three Major Companies have."

"So the question arises: the members of this team have never shown themselves, utterly mysterious."

"Yet they are an indispensable part of the Task progression."

"If a player completes a Task without notifying them, the Task is not considered complete, and no Scoring will be generated."

"No Scoring means the Task is deemed a failure."

"The only consequence is a dead end."

"They call it soothing the populace to prevent civilian panic."

"But in reality... no one has ever seen their Silhouette."

"So the question arises: where do the corpses actually go? How do they handle the aftermath?"

"Although the Lower City District has few cameras, that does not mean there are no Enforcers."

"I refuse to believe that a Task operation involving thousands of people would not attract the attention of the relevant department."

"And the most important point..."

"The Law Enforcement Department belongs to White Bear City, is a public faction, and should be clearly separated from the Three Major Companies."

"Yet within the department there are Gene Modification warriors."

At that remark, everyone's brows knit tightly.

Indeed, the Cleaner's whereabouts are extremely mysterious.

In the players' Cognition, this department exists solely for wiping backsides.

After killing a Monster, no self‑cleanup is needed, which is very convenient.

But when Lu Junsheng and Ximen Zhirou asked this, they felt very conflicted.

At least from the motive perspective, the driving force seems insufficient.

A Company spending huge funds to create such an army could not just let them die in vain, could it?

How is that different from throwing money into the river?

Moreover, corpse handling will certainly not be done hastily.

Combining the behavior of the tentacled Monster, the big guy immediately conjured a terrifying speculation in his mind—

"Could it be that all these corpses are being fed to Monsters?!" Zhang Tiancheng shouted.

Su Yang raised his hand and pinched the Bee Queen's delicate face, provoking her displeasure; she twisted her body in protest.

"The Rejuvenation Needle's Side Effect is blood‑lust; any Monster injected with it has this flaw."

"Tentacled Monsters also have a blood‑lust desire, and it is especially strong."

"Thus it is entirely plausible to assume that breeding Gene Modification warriors is meant to fulfill a certain cultivation plan."

"Just like... her!"

After speaking, Su Yang forcibly pulled the Bee Queen down as well.

"Ying~"

The Bee Queen kept struggling in protest.

But Su Yang gave her no chance to continue feeding, and forcibly locked her back into a cage.

This time he replaced it with a larger lock to bind her tightly.

"Obey, or you won't get any food," Su Yang said seriously.

The Bee Queen, hearing that, stopped squeaking, curled pitifully in the corner, and stared at him with a pair of watery, bright eyes.

Su Yang, satisfied, nodded, turned and returned to his seat.

He immediately continued, "The Three Major Companies' technology, rather than being stolen, I would say it is a gift."

"Huichun Pavilion holds the Core technology; the Monsters they cultivate wreak havoc in the world."

"Compared to flawed Gene Modification, the Three Major Companies do not wish to see inferior coins driving out good ones."

"Thus they dispatch us to eradicate the defective goods."

"And the Cleaner's finishing work is more like some form of waste utilization."

"As for where they're used…"

Saying that, Su Yang's gaze swept over the faces of everyone.

He then smiled without speaking.

"Where are they used, Boss? You should tell us quickly," Zhuang Wu said, anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

"You mean... the Gene-Modification Technology came from Huichun Pavilion, and this Organization is the real mastermind?" Yue Lan asked.

"Mm-hmm." Su Yang nodded.

"So the tentacled Monsters are also their handiwork, and the Cleaner is actually their team?" Yue Lan asked again.

Su Yang extended a Finger and waved it, "Don't let your thinking be so rigid; look at it from another angle…"

"What if the one who gave the technology is actually a member of the Three Major Companies?"

What?!

This claim undoubtedly stirred a thousand waves in everyone's hearts.

If it is truly as Su Yang said, then wouldn't it be…

Everything is a self‑directed performance by the same person?!

He manipulated everything, treating the top executives of the Three Major Companies and all the players like dogs.

Going along with Su Yang's logic.

Suddenly, the more one thinks, the more terrifying it becomes.

"Who do you think it is?" a strange hue flashed in Yue Lan's eyes.

"It's hard to say; we need to verify it first to know," Su Yang said calmly.

"Who should we verify with?"

"Naturally, it's our dear Supervisor."

"Why her?"

Su Yang glanced at the motionless bee queen, raised an eyebrow, "When she bit, I suddenly got a line of thought and inspiration."

"All of this is related to blood‑lust, and the relationship between Huichun Pavilion and the Cleaner is especially ambiguous."

"If all this points to the cultivated Monster, then the tentacled Monster must be this Organization's real trump card."

"The Monsters we killed and the dead players could both have been dealt with by it."

"'Re-modification' time, the Supervisor favored my ability to resist strong voltage; I could see the Desire in her eyes."

"If the bee queen is a bait deliberately set out by Tenglong Company, then you and I must be the fish that took the hook."

Yue Lan understood in her heart, her gaze gradually grew solemn, "So when you set the condition, she makes you first find a test subject to prove it?"

"Yes." Su Yang smiled faintly and said, "Once this technology is implemented, she will fully show her fangs."

"What do you plan to do?" Yue Lan asked.

"Initially I wanted to bind two Monsters as Lab Mice, but I don't have that much time to waste, and the experimental results also lack more intuitive data proof," Su Yang said evasively.

Yue Lan instantly understood.

Since the mastermind behind the scenes likes to self‑direct.

Then why not have them cooperate in the performance?

Anyway, strengthening physical quality is inevitable, which conveniently saves time.

Yue Lan was just about to scout a candidate when her gaze suddenly fell on the restless bee queen.

Her pupils then tightened slightly.

"Royal Jelly is about to come out!"

"Where?!" the crowd sprang up with a shout.

"Grab something to thrust over… right, that kind of red plastic bucket," Su Yang ordered.

Wen Ran lifted the red bucket and asked, "And then?"

Su Yang pursed his lips to signal, "Place the bucket in front of the bee queen; she will produce on her own."

Saying that, he turned his back, patted the curious Zhang Tiancheng and Zhuang Wu, "Gentlemen, step aside, give others some privacy."

"Ah? Oh!" Zhang Tiancheng reluctantly shifted his gaze.

Luo Qing suddenly patted the back of his head, then ran up quickly to help.

After a short while, everyone heard a pattering sound.

Zhuang Wu tried several times to look back and investigate, but Su Yang forcibly forced him to turn away.

"Why does this sound remind me of when I urinate?" Zhuang Wu asked.

"That's absurd; how could Royal Jelly be related to urination?" Zhang Tiancheng retorted coldly.

"Hey, Xiao Wu actually was right," Su Yang suddenly said.

"Ha?" Zhang Tiancheng's face froze, looking at Su Yang in disbelief.

Su Yang met his gaze, smiled, and said, "Yes, from now on each of you…"

"... must drink!"
