I’m Really Scared -
Chapter 179: Kachi Escape Mode!
As a B-level Esper, Sun Han's explosion earlier had still inflicted damage on the "Bee Queen." Combined with the injuries caused by "Drone Bee One," half of its legs were already crippled, and its body suffered extensive damage, further being pushed underground by the mudslide.
Thus, when Guan Shan stepped into Baihe Village, he once again heard the faint voice of the "Bee Queen."
"Hungry…"
Guan Shan was speechless. This creature, the first time it contacted him, was hungry, and now it was still hungry.
Was it because the consciousness provided by Chief Li was insufficient, or was it too weak to think?
Except for providing some useful information when Guan Shan called for help earlier, it seemed to act purely on instinct, much like the ordinary bees Guan Shan had communicated with before. It seemed only when it was full did it have some rationality.
But the "Bee Queen" didn't care what Guan Shan was thinking; it only called out for food.
What to do? Chief Li's consciousness was still inside this creature, so he couldn't just let it starve to death, right?
So, the kind-hearted Guan Shan looked around and saw many fresh meals right in front of him, crying and shouting to see the "Bee God."
Anyway, wasn't it natural for believers to sacrifice themselves for their hungry god?They should be very happy, right!
Guan Shan thought he was a great benevolent person, helping the believers and their god fulfill their mutual longing.
He ran, it chased, and none could escape. The scene was quite beautiful.
This "Battle Royale" simulation's protagonist wasn't Guan Shan but the hungry "Bee Queen."
So, the believers got the chance to have intimate contact with their god, the "Bee Queen" got its food, and Guan Shan completed the simulation, a triple-win situation, perfect.
Oh, by the way.
Guan Shan had driven there, and the car's trunk was full of disinfectant.
When the simulation began, these had healing properties. Guan Shan tested it, and it was effective even on monsters.
So, to prevent the "Bee Queen" from not eating enough, Guan Shan fed it the whole car along with the disinfectant.
Those villagers, mixed with healing medicine, might last longer.
Guan Shan thought he was truly kind-hearted to the core.
Sun Han ordered the remaining villagers to be taken back to the base, then checked the area to ensure the "Bee Queen" was inactive before leaving with Guan Shan to join the main team.
The forest area would likely be sealed off for a while.
Guan Shan's lost car didn't draw much attention from Sun Han; it was likely written off due to the fire.
He couldn't have driven over someone with an off-road vehicle, right?
Lin Shuman saw Guan Shan and Sun Han returning together without being blamed, finally relaxing.
She approached, eagerly asking, "What about the kidnapped children?"
"They've been sent to the base. I'll think of a way to settle them in a few days."
Guan Shan smiled at her, quietly thanking her through their earphones.
On the way, Sun Han told him about Lin Shuman's interference, which surprised him.
He hadn't asked Lin Shuman for help, but she took the initiative to buy him time, even confronting a powerful B-level Esper.
Before this, Guan Shan always felt like an outsider in Youhao Team, but Lin Shuman's help made him feel a sense of belonging.
Lin Shuman smiled proudly, "You're welcome. It's what I should do…"
Then she realized she had acted on her own and said nervously, "I didn't mean to make decisions by myself. It was impulsive. I hope it didn't cause any trouble?"
Guan Shan laughed, "You're my customer service, not my subordinate. Technically, external personnel and team members are equal. You know the rules better than me. Besides, I really should thank you this time."
Lin Shuman hesitated, "You knew I was monitoring you?"
Guan Shan rolled his eyes, giving her a look like she was a clueless child, "Which customer service needs to watch over someone 24/7? After that late-night call, I knew your nature."
Most of his records were probably reported by Lin Shuman.
A phone call alone couldn't reveal so much.
But it made sense; in others' eyes, he was likely seen as a madman ready to draw his sword at any moment, leaving no survivors.
But it wasn't his fault. Blame the simulator and those who tried to kill him.
They started it!
Lin Shuman awkwardly laughed, "Can I help settle those victims?"
"Of course."

Guan Shan noticed Lin Shuman seemed overly concerned about the victims.
But it made sense…
From her actions of standing up for him and sending Jiang Siyen to the hospital when they first met, it seemed she had a lot in common with White Night.
Sun Han suddenly approached, expressionless, "Enough chatting. Let's head back to the base for the formalities. Since the 'Room' case's investigation period is over, we have no obligation to monitor you anymore."
"'Death Hive' is primarily Youhao Team's responsibility, so the filing has to go to Hangzhou. In other words, you can go back."
She felt relieved.
Guan Shan's nickname was entirely misleading. He wasn't a demon god but more like a plague god.
Wuhao Team had been relatively peaceful before he came. Then, three murders in a row increased their workload, and she lost a deputy captain, adding more tasks for herself.
She realized she was being unreasonable in wanting to investigate Guan Shan.
Why bother? It would only bring more trouble… Forget it, let him be, just don't cause more chaos in Wuhao Team.
With Sun Han's complicated yet relieved mood, they boarded the helicopter.
Guan Shan felt elated, finally being able to see Xiao Shen again!
Just after confessing, they had been apart for half a month, with only one phone call. With the pressure now lifted, he realized how much he missed Shen Dinghua.
Sitting in the helicopter's side seat, about to close the door, Guan Shan looked down and noticed a tentacle emerging from the charred trees, waving as if saying goodbye.
The scene was fleeting as the tentacle retracted underground.
"Bzzz…"
The [Worker Bee Pendant] around Guan Shan's neck started vibrating again.
Guan Shan was puzzled, seeing the glass container's bee fully revived, energetically tapping the container walls.
"Let me out."
The clear voice echoed in Guan Shan's ear.
He raised an eyebrow, responding mentally, "Bee Queen? How did you get into this Worker Bee?"
"I can control these Worker Bees and attach my consciousness to them. That guy used this method to control humans."
"But the difference is, where my consciousness is, so is my ability. Now, the underground body is just an empty shell, and this little thing is the 'Bee Queen.'"
"I see… So what about Chief Li? Her consciousness?"
"She is me, and I am her."
"No, you're not her."
Guan Shan shook his head, his gaze turning cold, "I can tell."
"…"
"We are indeed one, and I'm merely an extension of her consciousness. But her consciousness, without a body, is too fragile and needs to re-establish a connection with this body."
Though Guan Shan didn't understand the principle, this biological consciousness connection seemed quite advanced.
He pondered, "Since your own consciousness has formed, can Chief Li's consciousness separate and become independent?"
"That's impossible. Her body is destroyed, and without a suitable host, separating means dissipating."
This was tricky… Though it was a necessary measure at the time, how would he explain this to Chief Li's family?
Without Chief Li, would Hangzhou Evening News fall into Jiang Siyen's hands or close down?
Guan Shan frowned.
"There's a way."
The Bee Queen suddenly spoke, "Like before, when she interacted with you, she can project her consciousness into reality. Ordinary people won't notice."
Guan Shan thought it was a feasible solution.
He had been fooled for quite a while back then.
"Bee Queen" asked, "Can you let me out now? It's too cramped here."
Guan Shan nodded, opening the glass container. The unusual bee flew out immediately, disappearing from the helicopter in an instant.
"Hahaha… Human, thank you for freeing me!"
The Bee Queen's triumphant laugh echoed in Guan Shan's ear, but he remained calm.
Holding the [Worker Bee Pendant]'s glass container, he raised his hand and stored it in his backpack.
