The researchers who followed behind suppressed the urge to grin wildly.

They had been childhood friends, and when Hasarin heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "After all these years, you still have the same temper."

"By the way, what brings you here?" Hasarin suddenly asked.

I came here to escape the hustle and bustle, so what is Fred doing here?

Fred, sitting opposite him, pushed up his glasses and said in a flat tone, "The project from last time was finished a few days ago. I just wanted to take a look at the exam papers that were handed in today."

Hasarin scratched his head, chuckled a few times, realizing he'd been so busy he'd forgotten. Suddenly, he frowned: "Wait, the research institute's out of bugs? Why did they send you over?"

Fred: "I came here on my own. The research institute has recruited a lot of insects recently, but their quality is not very good. This time, the institute is recruiting insects from the public, so I came to see if there are any good candidates."

Finally, Fred glanced at the leisurely female insect in front of him, and remembering the repeated instructions from the head of the disciplinary office, his eyes deepened: "Hassalin, Director Crick asked me to tell you to go back early, there are still many documents waiting for you."

Hasarin looked at the other person in disbelief, unable to imagine how Fred, who was 37 degrees Celsius, could utter such cold words. He scratched his hair in frustration.

No, why is this Creek so free? He keeps urging me to look at the documents.

Hasarin recalled the increasingly prominent bald patch on the other person's head and subconsciously shook his head: "I won't go back today. Didn't you want to go see the exam papers? I'll take you there."

Several insects darted through the brightly lit corridor, where the sunlight cast a strong luster on the floor.

A gentle breeze rustled, filling the air with a pleasant atmosphere.

Xi Yun arrived at the library of the Central Star.

It's very close to the Imperial Court, located diagonally opposite it.

A rather attractive insect pushed open the door and entered the pavilion, without attracting much attention from the other insects inside.

There aren't many insects reading in the library anymore; since the advent of quantum computers, insect users have chosen to read more on the insect network.

Xi Yun took the book and found a spot by the window at the back. The view was excellent, and the floor-length curtains blocked some of the sunlight, effectively preventing direct light from shining in.

Xi Yun took off her scarf. Although the sun was out, it was windy and quite cold.

The library was heated to its full capacity, making it much warmer than the streets where even with sunshine, the heat was barely noticeable.

Sunlight streamed through the unobstructed glass, revealing the male insect intently reading. Somewhat resigned, the insect hopped off his lap and onto the ground, then slowly hid behind the French windows, wanting to play hide-and-seek with him.

After reading for a while, Xi Yun felt his eyes getting a little sore, so he put down the book and looked out the window to relax his eyes.

But what is that thing on the corner of the table?

A mechanical spider manipulated its eight long legs, turning its body naturally, its blood-red mechanical eyes fixed on the enormous creature not far away.

Xi Yun met the mechanical spider's gaze, and both seemed startled, remaining silent and motionless.

Those ruby-like mechanical eyes darted around, their gaze passing over the male insect and looking out the window.

Xi Yun seemed to sense the mechanical spider's gaze and looked over, but he kept an eye on the creature's movements out of the corner of his eye.

Just as Xi Yun had guessed, the spider slithered over at lightning speed as he turned his head away, its aim directly at his hand resting on the table.

Xi Yun quickly took out a cup from his own space and covered it.

Suddenly trapped in a confined space, the mechanical spider crashed straight into the cup. Although its round, compound eyes revealed no emotion, Xi Yun still inexplicably felt that the other was somewhat bewildered.

Xi Yun took a closer look, and after discovering nothing else, put the cup and the spider into his spatial storage.

The moment he put the spider away, a loud bang suddenly came from not far away in the library.

Xi Yun subconsciously turned her head.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Houses not far away exploded one after another, collapsing and crashing to the ground.

Soon, many insects came out in a panic, all of them bearing some kind of injury, trying to escape this dangerous place as quickly as possible.

The sound of crying and fussing filled the air.

Upon learning of the news, the patrol team quickly arrived at the scene, rescuing the insects while comforting the frightened crowd.

In a corner, a bug dressed in a black trench coat took advantage of the fact that no other bugs had time to notice and pretended to be a victim to blend in.

Xi Yun looked at the terrible situation outside, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Could this be a diversionary tactic?

Xi Yun continued to observe and suddenly noticed a strange insect among the victims. Although the insect was also injured and seemed to blend into the scene, it gave him a strange feeling.

Soon, the suspicious insect left the scene with the victims.

Xi Yun withdrew his gaze, his eyelids drooping, seemingly lost in thought.
