I am an insect

Realizing something was wrong, Ji Ye quickly retreated to the doorway. When he looked up, he saw a figure pressed against the security window of the living room balcony.

The figure was a young man, smiling. When he smiled, his eyes curved like two crescent moons, making him look very handsome.

He was wearing a white hat, which looked somewhat eerie in the night.

Ji Ye immediately thought of the white-hatted man he had killed before; they were wearing the exact same white hats.

Wu Yumei and Wang Qinshu fell asleep, they must have fallen for some kind of trick by this young man.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Ye opened the door and rushed out.

He knew he had been exposed. This young man must be an accomplice of the man in the white hat. His guess was right; there really was a terrifying force behind the man in the white hat.

Perhaps the white hat is their unifying symbol.

Previously, when he saw the man wearing a white hat, he thought it was just his personal habit. But now that he saw this young man who suddenly appeared also wearing a white hat, Ji Ye knew that the hat must have some special meaning.

He thought of the Black and White Impermanence from folk legends, with the White Impermanence being the one who wore a white hat.

In legends, Hei Bai Wuchang is a pair of deities and the most famous ghost messengers, specializing in capturing ghosts. Because their status under the City God is second only to the Civil and Military Judges, the Shackled General, and the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, they are also known as "Seventh Master and Eighth Master".

As a being of consciousness, he is, in folk tales, similar to a wandering ghost.

The thought flashed through his mind. At this moment, the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light. Without knowing the situation, Ji Ye's first thought was to escape from here.

Although Wu Yumei and Wang Qinshu had fallen asleep, the other party's target was themselves, and they probably wouldn't harm ordinary people like them.

He rushed out the door. Outside was a long corridor. It was completely dark now, and the lights in the corridor were out. It was pitch black. Ji Ye was about to rush to the end of the corridor and go down the stairs when he suddenly noticed two green eyes in the darkness at the end of the corridor. They looked like ghost eyes. Even Ji Ye was startled to see two such eyes in the dark.

The next moment, those two bright green eyes began to move, approaching him at an astonishing speed.

Ji Ye took a deep breath. He finally saw clearly that the owner of those two bright green ghost eyes was a giant dog.

The giant dog was larger than an adult human. At this moment, it opened its blood-red mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and spewed air from its nostrils as it pounced on him.

"How come there's a dog here? Did that young man bring it?" Before Ji Ye could think any further, the giant dog pounced on him. The passageway was narrow, and even if he wanted to dodge, there was nowhere to hide.

Fortunately, the door behind him was still open, and Ji Ye immediately retreated again.

The giant dog pounced at the doorway, almost standing upright, and looked ready to leap inside.

The young man who was originally stuck to the outside of the balcony security window was now holding onto the security window with both hands. The security window, which was not very sturdy to begin with, was slowly deforming under his hands. He would soon be able to squeeze in from the inside. At that time, he and the giant dog would attack from both sides, and Ji Ye would be attacked from both sides.

Ji Ye retreated back into the house, swung a chair, and the giant dog that was about to pounce was hit by the chair. He used all his strength this time, and with a crisp "crack", the chair shattered into pieces.

The giant dog let out a low growl, which sounded like the roar of a lion or tiger. Ji Ye added a kick, striking the giant dog in the stomach.

The giant dog's growl turned into a scream, and its 70-80 kilogram weight couldn't withstand Ji Ye's kick. Its massive body tumbled backward and crashed to the ground.

Taking advantage of the situation, Ji Ye rushed out, pulled the security door shut with his right hand, and strode out down the corridor.

His speed was astonishing; he rushed to the end of the corridor and went down the stairs.

Although the dog is huge and looks scary, it is not actually frightening. What is truly terrifying is the young man outside the security window of the balcony.

Having killed the middle-aged man in the white hat, the fact that the other party still dared to come looking for him meant that the man was more powerful than the middle-aged man in the white hat. Not knowing the other party's background or how many people the other party had brought tonight, Ji Ye didn't dare to stay.

Although he is much stronger now than he was two days ago.

Ji Ye descended the stairs at an astonishing speed, quickly reaching the bottom. There was no one to be seen outside. Despite the commotion, no one had come to watch. He guessed that they had all fallen for the young man's trick and were asleep, just like Wu Yumei and the others.

Although he didn't know what methods the other party used, these methods seemed to only work on ordinary people and had no effect on him.

"No matter how powerful the enemy is, at most they can only put the people in this neighborhood to sleep. They can't possibly infect the entire city of Ancheng. As long as we get out of the neighborhood, we should be safe."

Ji Ye could already faintly hear the sounds of vehicles driving on the road outside the residential area, indicating that the hypnotic method was only effective within this small area.

Ji Ye had just rushed downstairs when he suddenly heard another bark coming from above him. He couldn't help but look up and then showed an incredulous expression.

The giant dog that had been kicked by him earlier actually jumped down from the fifth-floor corridor.

Ji Ye knew his current strength. With Wang Yecheng's robust physique and his cultivation of the mind-body technique over the past two days, it could be said that if he had kicked out just now, even a real lion or tiger would have been injured, let alone a dog.

The dog was kicked by him, and its internal organs must have ruptured. Even if it didn't die immediately, it would be absolutely impossible for it to get up and jump from the fifth floor.

Ji Ye almost thought he was seeing things. He watched as the giant dog, barking wildly, jumped down from the air, landed in front of him, and then rolled on the ground to dissipate its momentum.

"Damn, does a dog even know how to use rolling to dissipate the impact of falling?"

To Ji Ye's astonishment, the giant dog rolled several times on the ground, then suddenly leaped into the air. Its jumping power was astonishing, and its reaction was even faster. It immediately reappeared in front of him, blocking his path.

"What kind of dog is this?" Ji Ye's scalp tingled. Looking at the dog with its gaping maw, he felt a murderous intent rising in his heart. He stretched out his right hand, revealing the black hook. Since the dog's body was so strong, he would simply erase its soul and consciousness. He figured its consciousness must be fragile. As long as his black hook swept across its body, it would surely be defeated.

Just as he revealed the black hook, the giant dog that pounced on him raised its front paw, and a strangely shaped, scythe-like weapon, entirely green and blue, suddenly extended from its front paw and slashed down at him.

The attack was sudden, and Ji Ye was taken aback. He couldn't dodge in time, so he could only raise the black hook in his right hand to block the scythe that was coming down.
