The First Guardian Bee of the Hive, Faceless.
He stood straight at the door, and no one could see his face. There was only a white mask on his face. From the smell, Helig could not tell which tribe he belonged to. Every kind of demon had their own unique smell. For example, the One-horned Ghost Tribe had a strange smell similar to an old medicine, while the Draconians had a strange smell.
There was no smell on him, as if he was trying to hide it.
"Then I'll take my leave. If you have any questions, ask your captain, Faceless."
The Great Elder left the room after saying that. They still had to stay in this room for a while. It was impossible to expect a team that was formed at the last minute to have any chemistry.
Everyone sat on the chairs. Everyone's eyes were moving, but they would not meet each other. Even if they did, they would look away.
The atmosphere was awkward. Some people did not even know what to do.
Guardian Bee No.2 Yoken had his eyes closed. He was the only one sitting on the ground. His eyes were closed, and his hands were clasped together as if he was meditating.
Guardian Bee No.9 Wind Crane was combing his feathers. He was one of the few people who had something to do. No.14 Busie still had her hands crossed. Her chin was slightly raised. She did not seem to want to talk to anyone.
While Hailig was observing, he suddenly saw a pair of eyes with very large pupils. He was immediately startled. It was a girl from the Goat Tribe. Her appearance leaned towards the sweet and weak type. She was short and did not look threatening at all.
However, she looked at Helig with a smile. For some reason, Helig felt like his heart was being grabbed by someone.
Helig did not dare to underestimate the Fifth Guardian Bee, the Enchantress Sia. But why was she staring at him?
Just as he was feeling very confused and uncomfortable, the other party spoke first.
"Hey, why are you here?"
She suddenly asked. Helig immediately understood what she meant.
He was the only one here who was not a Guardian Bee, but a Hunter. A Hunter was definitely not as strong as a Guardian Bee, so she might be thinking that Helig would be a burden.
"I …"
Helig was about to explain, but he was interrupted by another voice.
"He is an important member of this mission. The success or failure of this mission has a lot to do with him."
Hearing this voice, everyone immediately turned their heads. Even the meditating giant, Yurken, could not help but open his eyes. This was because the one who spoke was the mysterious masked Faceless.
He stood in front of the crowd and looked around with his hands behind his back.
"Everyone, how much do you know about this mission?"
His voice sounded much older than he looked. Perhaps the person behind the mask was an old man.
"I know nothing. I was suddenly called to this place. By the way, I don't know anything about you either."
The short beauty Sala said carelessly.
"Where are the others?"
Faceless didn't take her words to heart. Instead, he looked at the others.
At this moment, the brawny man, Yoken, raised his hand. His action surprised everyone. After all, based on his physique, he should be a boorish person. His action was a little … overly polite.
"Please speak."
"Yes, thank you. I rushed here from the Church and learned that this is the prophecy of the prophet. Our mission this time is related to Caldera's life and death. I feel extremely honored."
After Yoken finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and nodded to everyone.
"Yes, this is indeed the prophecy of the prophet. Our mission this time is to go to the second floor and find a human girl." As soon as Faceless said this, everyone in the room except Hailig widened their eyes.
"Wait, did I hear wrong? You're saying that we have to go to the second floor occupied by the Hybrid Demons to find a human whose life and death are unknown? Don't you think this is ridiculous? "The drakonid, Busie, who had his eyes closed, frowned. The others were silent.
"This is the prophecy of the prophet. I was there too."
Suddenly, Hailig opened his mouth. The drakonid glared at him.
"I see. So you need us, right? But with just the few of us, we can't save that person. After all, things are different now." The Goat Beauty spread her hands.
"No, it's possible. If she's not heavy, I can fly her to the surface alone."
The last person, the Wind Crane, who was the only one who could fly, said. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Faceless as if he was thinking about something.
"Woah, then you'll be fine on your own?"
The Beauty turned around to look at him. The two of them didn't seem to have a good impression of each other.
"What did you say? How would I know where that human is? "
"Then you still have the nerve to say that."
"What do you mean? Am I not telling the truth? "
"If you're telling the truth, then we should be left to die, right?"
The two of them began to quarrel, filling the room with noise.
"Alright, alright, stop quarreling. This isn't good."
Faceless immediately tried to mediate, but his weak voice didn't have any effect. The two of them ignored him and continued to quarrel.
The others remained silent, including Hailig. He knew that if their leader couldn't solve this problem, then they wouldn't be able to become a team. They would be nothing more than grains of sand in the palm of one's hand.
Suddenly, just as he was feeling disappointed, a terrifying killing intent pierced into his bones like a cold ice blade.
"I don't want to say it again. Shut up!"
The terrifying voice was accompanied by a murderous aura that dimmed the light in the room. The temperature in the room instantly dropped below zero. Everyone was prepared to fight to the death. Their faces paled slightly.
Such a terrifying killing intent made them feel the fear of death. Just who was it?
A ferocious red image appeared on Faceless' mask, like the face of an angry demon. The killing intent was coming from him.
The Beauty and the Wind Crane widened their eyes and stopped breathing. They froze on the spot, unable to move.
Faceless' killing intent was directed at the two of them. Hailig was only affected by it, but his body instinctively wanted to run away. He couldn't imagine how the two of them were feeling right now.
This Faceless was a monster among monsters. Hailig had fought against Hybrid Demons for so long, but he had never felt such a terrifying evil intent.
The room was silent for a few seconds. These few seconds felt like an eternity to everyone.
"Very well, please don't quarrel. This isn't good. You should know that from now on, we're on the same team."
Suddenly, Faceless' mask turned back to its original white color. The killing intent disappeared without a trace. He returned to the Faceless who didn't have a strong presence and didn't have any scent. It was as if nothing had happened just now.
"It seems that everyone has a lot of doubts and uneasiness about this mission. I will explain it to everyone in detail later …"
All the way until night fell, everyone quietly listened to the other party speak, and no one dared to raise any objections.
