Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

Chapter 287 - 287: Totally cuckoo

There wasn't much time for questioning.

Soon, the distraction for the real Amby in the nursery comb will end, and I will have to explain everything to her somehow. And she was the most hypnotized one.

I *knew* that I could explain to her the situation, but if I could do it without the hypnosis standing in my way, it would be much easier.

"You!" I pointed at the infiltrator. "Drop your tricks immediately, or you are dead!"

The infiltrator shook her head, staring at me with anger and stubborness despite her tied up arms.

"This is complete nonsense. Release me immediately!"

I winced and pulled on my hair.

"Dammit! Do you even understand what I'm saying? Do you?"

"Of course I do. Stop this, Nectus!"

I wasn't so sure anymore. There was no way the infiltrator was a bee. If she wasn't a bee, how would she know bee language?

I tried to read her thoughts again, hoping for a hint.

'This… this can't be happening! Did Nectus go mad? Why?! Why…'

Wincing even harder, I closed my mind shut.

"Father…" Destroyer said, looking determined but extremely uncomfortable to be here. "You shouldn't be in the presence of the infiltrator's influence. We can talk to her ourselves."

I shook my head, feeling like I was at a dead end.

Perhaps beating the infiltrator up will make her more cooperative, but what I saw so far of her intelligence didn't make me assured she was reasonable at all.

She could be like a cuckoo chick, just living in someone else's nest with no understanding of where she is and what she's doing except pushing her step-siblings' eggs out of the nest.

If this was so, then we might just kill her by accident and learn nothing.

And despite everything, there was still that irritating nagging question… What if she was the real Amby, after all?

"Screw this," I finally said. "Destroyer, you and your team will guard this cell for now and take care of the prisoner. Oh, and untie her. Keeping ropes on limbs for long doesn't help circulation…"

"Yes, Father!"

I left the cell, already sending telepathic messages. Re

It was a very restless night, and even Amby's presence at my side didn't make things much better.
