When a bee hive was threatened, the bees would attack the enemy with their stingers.

A honeybee attacking with its sting was suicidal, since the sting would tear the bee’s abdomen apart if the sting was stuck in the enemy’s body.

The Enforcement Union had named this Seal Bee Sting. It meant the Enforcer had stuck her stinger into the enemy’s body secretly. However, her life would come to an end the moment she pulled out the stinger!

“She’s an Enforcer with the codename Bee Sting, the only person who would never betray the Enforcement Union,” Zhu Meng declared.

Mo Fan wavered and took a few steps back.

Everything he had discussed with Mu Bai was only mere speculation, but it had been proven true after Zhu Meng verified Blue Bat’s ident.i.ty with the Supreme Enforcement Union. Mo Fan felt like something was stuck in his throat..

“Bee Sting was one of the earliest Enforcers to infiltrate the Black Vatican. The high-ranking authorities in the Enforcement Union have changed since then, so the Enforcement Union basically had no idea of her existence anymore.” Zhu Meng stared at Blue Bat’s remains.

“Which is why she was able to go so deep into the Black Vatican,” Mo Fan murmured.

“Exactly. Even the Black Vatican believed she was one of them. She even became one of the nine disciples, the closest people to Salan!”

“Mo Fan, Mu Bai, do you still remember Operation Guillotine?” Zhu Meng asked them.

The two nodded.

Operation Guillotine was when Han Ji was informed Salan was among them, yet he was unable to confirm her ident.i.ty among the ten high-ranking officials.

The government decided to launch Operation Guillotine. They would even sacrifice nine innocent officials, just to kill Salan!

“Do you know who the informer was during Operation Guillotine?” Zhu Meng said.

Mo Fan shook his head. He remembered Asha’ruiya mention that she had provided the Enforcement Union with some information, but Mo Fan had never believed her.

Asha’ruiya would have provided information related to Salan’s past at most, so who was the person who told Han Ji that Salan was among the ten officials?

“If I’m not mistaken, Bee Sting was the one who provided us with the information. The Enforcement Union only found out Bee Sting was still alive and had successfully infiltrated the Black Vatican back then,” Zhu Meng informed them.

Even a Councilman like Zhu Meng, who was in charge of the Tianbei Enforcement Union, was unaware of Bee Sting’s existence!

“Did…did I really kill an honorable Enforcer by mistake?” Mu Bai asked in disbelief.

Mo Fan shook his head and said, “The fact that she is dead meant she had no other option left. She chose to kill herself by provoking you.”

If Bee Sting did not die, no one would ever know her true ident.i.ty, nor would anyone believe her.

The fact that Blue Bat had chosen to die at Mo Fan and Mu Bai’s hands was because she had only trusted them.

There were traitors in the Enforcement Union! As one of the nine disciples, Blue Bat clearly knew about the existence of the traitors.

Therefore, she could not afford to reveal her true ident.i.ty. Even if she did, no one would believe her, since she was one of the nine disciples.

Only death could prove her sincerity!

Mo Fan and Mu Bai had fought the Black Vatican for a long time, but they were not from the Enforcement Union. Her true ident.i.ty would only be revealed to the right people if she died at their hands.

“Wu Ku has long been suspicious of Blue Bat. After all, she was the one who lured us to the Aorus Sacred Inst.i.tute. Blue Bat not only died to reveal her ident.i.ty to us, but she was trying to regain the Black Vatican’s trust…” Mo Fan was trying his best to withhold his emotions as he a.n.a.lyzed the things that Blue Bat had done.

“To regain the Black Vatican’s trust?” Mu Bai was confused.

“Normally, if we tried to kill her, she would have revealed her true ident.i.ty as an Enforcer to prevent us from killing the wrong person,” Mo Fan said.

Mu Bai immediately understood what Mo Fan was saying.

The Black Vatican was already suspicious of Blue Bat. Wu Ku had betrayed Blue Bat by telling Mo Fan, Mu Bai, and Zhao Manyan how to track her down. He had also made sure she was not going to have any backup.

That way, Blue Bat was forced to fight Mo Fan and his friends to her death!

Blue Bat had to kill Mo Fan, Mu Bai, and Zhao Manyan to prove she did not lure them to the Aorus Sacred Inst.i.tute on purpose. Otherwise, she would end up dying to Mo Fan, Mu Bai, and Zhao Manyan as a glorious sacrifice for the Black Vatican.

As long as Blue Bat was still alive, her only way out was to kill Mo Fan and his friends. Otherwise, if she somehow escaped after their operation failed, the Black Vatican would still execute her!

Mu Bai felt even worse when he recalled the fight between him and Blue Bat.

He had a feeling Blue Bat was acting strangely during their fight. It turned out that she had already decided her ending!

“Now that she’s dead, she could regain the Black Vatican’s trust and reveal her true ident.i.ty to us. There’s only one reason why she would do so.” Mo Fan stared at Blue Bat as he spread the Dark Material into her body.

If her codename was Bee Sting, she would have dealt a serious blow to the enemy prior to her death.

Her sting must have inflicted serious damage on the Black Vatican!

It was definitely not as simple as the list of names he had found at the abandoned church. Blue Bat was willing to use her death to regain the Black Vatican’s trust because she did not want the Black Vatican to wipe out the information she had left for Mo Fan and his friends.

She had also hinted to Mu Bai to autopsy her before she died, so there must be some important clue on her body, in addition to the Seal of the Enforcement Union!

An important clue that was comparable to the piece of information that Salan was hiding among the ten officials! But where did she hide it?

Mo Fan checked Blue Bat’s organs thoroughly with the Dark Material, but did not discover anything useful.

Mo Fan took his time. He recalled everything that Blue Bat had done in detail.

He suddenly thought of something.

Blue Bat had spared Jiang Bin’s life when she saved the Evil Herbalist, yet she had dug Jiang Bin’s eyes out.

Why did she dig out Jiang Bin’s eyes? Was she only trying to inflict fear on them?

Everything she did had been in accordance with her way of doing things, yet her actions were also according to the Black Vatican’s goals.

If she had done that in accordance with the Enforcement Union’s code, the reason she dug out Jiang Bin’s eyes would be…

Mo Fan placed his attention on Blue Bat’s eyes and asked Mu Bai, “Did you check her eyes?”

“No, her eyes have been closed since she died,” Mu Bai replied slowly.

Mo Fan opened Blue Bat’s eyelids. He stared at the hollow eyes for a long time.

“Don’t you think that eyeball looks like the crystal orb that Wu Ku gave us?” Mo Fan asked Mu Bai.

Mu Bai was startled. He immediately went up to take a closer look.

It really was!

It was the same crystal orb imbued with the Chaos Element that was used for surveillance, but this one was about the same size as a human eyeball!
