Chapter 469 Conversation

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Si slowly raised his foot and gently stepped on the swarm of insects.

The instant his foot touched the swarm of insects, an invisible energy flowed out from his toes like a trickle, silently flowing into the swarm along with his movement.

This energy was like a silent command, which spread rapidly through the swarm of insects. Every insect instantly received the information transmitted by this energy—the direction they needed to move in.

After sensing Li Si's signal, the previously quiet swarm of insects suddenly became restless, as if it had been ignited.

Their bodies began to tremble slightly, and their slender legs began to move incessantly, making a buzzing sound.

Immediately afterwards, the swarm of insects surged forward as if propelled by a powerful force.

The three of them, standing atop the swarm of insects, moved rapidly forward with the swarm's surge.

The swarm moved with incredible speed, like a black torrent, carrying them straight toward the crack in the protective shield.

All of this happened so suddenly that both Lingluo and Lingyan were caught off guard.

But they soon realized the swarm's intention—the insects seemed to want to send them directly into the crack in the protective shield.

After Ling Yan, Ling Luo, and the other two quickly left, Ling Ye stood there, lost in thought.

He frowned slightly, silently pondering the ins and outs of the matter, trying to see if he had overlooked anything.

After a while, as if he had made up his mind, he lifted his foot and walked towards Meros.

Moros stood there quietly, staring in the direction Li Si and the others had left, holding the drowsy Lin Xiyue in his arms.

Lin Xiyue rested her head on Molos's shoulder, her eyes closed and her breathing steady, as if she had already entered a sweet dream.

"Meros, could you... tell me about your plans?"

Lingye walked to Meros's side, paused for a moment, and then asked softly.

His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of waking Lin Xiyue in his arms.

However, when Lingye approached Meros, she was blocked by a tangible force.

It turned out that the shields around Meros were constantly flying around, as if protecting him and Lin Xiyue.

Fei had been hovering and moving slowly, but accelerated and blocked Ling Ye's path as he approached.

The appearance of the shield surprised Ling Ye, and he couldn't help but take a step back, keeping a certain distance from Meros.

Looking at the scene before her, Lingye felt somewhat helpless.

He had wanted to get closer and have a proper conversation with Meros, but the shield clearly wouldn't allow him to do so.

Just as he was pondering how to communicate with Meros, he suddenly heard a clear "Meow—"

The meow snapped Ling Ye back to his senses. He then remembered what Li Si had said earlier—the humanoid Meros was mainly protecting Boss Lin, while the true center of their spiritual energy was actually the giant black cat.

Lingye subconsciously raised her head and her gaze fell on the cat that Meros had transformed into.

The cat was sitting quietly at Meros's feet, its big, round eyes staring straight at Ling Ye, as if waiting for his reaction.

"Meow—meow—"

Accompanied by those two soft meows, the voice of the cat, Meros, rang out again, as if urging Lingye on.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of Meros suddenly echoed in Lingye's mind.

The sound wasn't heard through his ears, but rather rang out directly in his mind, clear and vivid.

"Yes, I can tell you."

Meros's voice echoed in Lingye's mind.

"This door's formation must have been modified by Fei Bo beforehand, so that it would automatically start searching for him after his failure and launch an attack in his direction."

Meros's voice was automatically translated into a language Ling Ye could understand in his mind, as naturally and fluently as if he were thinking for himself.

"Shouldn't we kill him now?"

Upon hearing Moros's words, Ling Ye frowned deeply, his face full of confusion. He couldn't help but ask.

"Meow--"

"No."

With a clear meow, Meros answered without hesitation.

"Meow—"

“First, he is a criminal of our race, and according to our rules, he must be brought back for trial. Second, if he is killed now, the situation will become even more difficult to control.”

Meros then added a sentence.

After saying this, Meros suddenly raised the claw that was closest to Lingye and then spread it out horizontally upwards.

Above the fluffy pink cat paw pads, a round ball was floating, and a video was playing inside the ball.

Ling Ye looked closely and saw that the scene depicted was exactly what Li Si was experiencing.

From the sphere, it was clear that Li Si, Ling Yan, and Ling Luo were walking on the road, seemingly unaware that someone was secretly observing them.

"Meow--"

"To put your minds at ease, I've decided to show you what's going on their side."

With a soft meow, the voice of the cat, Melos, slowly echoed in the air.

Although Meros the cat spoke so casually, everyone actually knew exactly what was going on.

This so-called "to put your mind at ease" is nothing but a facade.

The real reason is simply to record all of this for humanity, so that they can collect more data.

Lingluo and Lingyan naturally understood this as well, after all, they were professionals.

Even without Meros the cat's action, they would definitely have recorded all the important information anytime, anywhere.

However, what they see from their first-person perspective is completely different from this third-party perspective.

A third-party perspective can often capture details and clues that are not noticeable from a first-person perspective.

"Row."

Lingye thought for a moment, then nodded, indicating her agreement with the cat Molos's suggestion.

There seemed to be a tacit understanding between him and the cat Meros; they could understand each other without saying a word.

"So what exactly do we need to do?"

Immediately afterward, Lingye asked.

"Meow—"

Melos the cat let out a short meow.

"Your primary task is not to protect him, but to ensure that he does not come into contact with that attack."

It went on to say that...

Melos the cat spoke in a very serious tone, which clearly indicated that this was very important.

Lingye listened attentively and kept those words in mind.

After explaining the main points, the cat, Meros, said no more. It deftly raised its paw and tossed a small ball from its palm toward Lingye.
