Chapter 517: Chapter 517

"By the way, Cezar." While playing with the Black Cocoon, he suddenly asked Cezar, "Since you’re already a B-level Anecdote Envoy, which third higher-level Anecdote Fragment did you choose to bind?"

"The third Generational-level Anecdote Fragment I bound is the ’Tower of Babel’." Cezar replied with a smile while tossing a die on the map, showing no intention of hiding anything.

Based on the number rolled, he moved his game piece a few spaces forward, passed a bank, and paid some money. Then he stepped on Yaguba’s game piece head.

"Is that Anecdote Fragment really useful?" Black Cocoon continued to ask.

In his impression, the Tower of Babel Anecdote Fragment was constantly getting hit or on the way to getting hit, quite humorous.

"I think it’s quite useful, it’s just that Lewis didn’t realize its value." Cezar nodded, "If we were to cause a ruckus on the island, then the ’Heavenly Thunder’ of the Tower of Babel would be very significant."

"As long as the Tower of Babel isn’t destroyed within twenty seconds of its creation, it will bring about divine punishment, known as ’Heavenly Thunder’." Cezar explained, "Heavenly Thunder will attack everyone indiscriminately. It can clear out the worker bees of the Light-Eating Bees and can be a threat to Rainbow Wings. What do you think?"

"Makes sense." Black Cocoon said, "The premise is that you have to protect the tower for a full twenty seconds."

"That’s actually quite simple, as long as we keep the enemy’s attention away from the Tower of Babel." Cezar’s mouth curled up, "I, unlike Lewis, don’t have only one Generational-level Anecdote."

"Alright, I agree with your choice now." Black Cocoon tilted his head, "By the way, I want to conduct an experiment."

"What kind of experiment?" Cezar asked.

Black Cocoon suddenly extended a restraint belt to bind Cezar, "Try calling out the Anecdote Atlas."

Cezar was slightly stunned, then nodded, attempting to call out the Anecdote Atlas with intent. But he failed.

"Why?" He raised his eyes and looked at Black Cocoon, asking in surprise, "Does Mr. Black Cocoon’s restraint belt have such an ability?"

"Yes, my restraint belt is indeed effective against power users of any category, especially against Anecdote Envoys... Just as long as they can’t summon the Anecdote Atlas, Anecdote Envoys with their fragile bodies are nothing." Black Cocoon said with satisfaction.

"That’s amazing..." Cezar raised his eyebrows, his aquamarine eyes widening in awe, "Mr. Black Cocoon, you actually have such an ability, it truly surprises me."

"Otherwise, how do you think I earn a living?"

Black Cocoon released the restraint belt binding him. In fact, what he wanted to try was whether he could find a bug to use "superpower stealing" to pilfer Cezar’s Anecdote Fragment, but it seems it was not possible.

"A big flapping moth should survive on the north wind." Little Shark said, throwing dice with his fin.

"A useless shark." Black Cocoon turned his head, expressionlessly looking at the Shark sitting on the ground.

"Trash fish." Yaguba glared at him with disdain.

Cezar was silent for a moment, "Mr. Black Cocoon, do you think we can successfully eradicate the Light-Eating Bees?"

"In fact, in my plan that’s Rainbow Wings’ task." Black Cocoon said, "Our task, however, is to act after they have exterminated the Light-Eating Bees. By then they should be quite weakened, and we can reap the benefits from their struggle."

He spread his hands, "But, if Mr. Blue Arc really faces danger while fighting the bees, we can still lend a hand... hmm, although that’s unlikely."

Meanwhile, in a private room of a Japanese barbecue restaurant in Dotonbori.

A waitress in a kimono, with red eyeliner and a drawn-up hair bun, pushed aside the warm curtain, carrying a tray, her smile as pure and elegant as a blooming early cherry blossom.

Gu Qiye nodded, looked up, and said "Thank you" in Japanese to her, then reached out to take the beer she handed over and passed an orange juice to You Ruirui, inserting a straw.

You Ruirui sipped the orange juice through a straw while playing "Life is Strange" on a tablet. She used her superpower to condense the air, adding two more ice cubes to her orange juice—she seemed to prefer her drinks ice-cold.

Gu Qiye drank his cold beer while quietly observing the people in the room with his peripheral vision.

Garfield sat in the corner, demonstrating to Jiushijiu a nano tracker he had developed using his superpower, saying that as long as the nano machines were added to a drink and then drank by Fan Dongqing, the nano machines would assemble inside him, reporting his location 24/7.

Of course, if the nano tracker was expelled through his poop, that was a different matter.

Jiushijiu was amazed, applauding lightly with wide eyes repeatedly. She didn’t understand much else but was happy as long as it embarrassed Fan Dongqing.

Ke Qingzheng, Fan Dongqing, and Urushibara Ryuri were drinking and chatting, while the Father of Puppets was cleaning his glasses alone in the corner, his demeanor calm and restrained.

"I’m going to the restroom." You Ruirui suddenly said.

Gu Qiye nodded silently.

He looked up, watching You Ruirui leave, then carried his beer and sat beside the Father of Puppets.

"Is something the matter?" the Father of Puppets asked while polishing his lenses with a glasses cloth.

"Are you really the Father of Puppets?" Gu Qiye was silent for a moment, took a sip of beer, and asked.

"Why do you say that?" Updates are released by novel⟡fire.net

"This is the first time I’ve seen your face under the mask, it’s quite different than I expected."

With this, Gu Qiye turned to look at the refined man wearing glasses.

"I am indeed the ’Father of Puppets’, you can refer to me by my code number in Rainbow Wings." The Father of Puppets replied, his eyes lowered, speaking in a mysterious and whispered voice, though less hoarse and deep than before.
