I am an insect

Just when Ji Ye thought Lin Ya was beyond saving, Lin Ya became fearless. Her mental body pressed tightly against the woman's body, trying to squeeze into her.

Ji Ye was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Lin Ya to come up with this idea in such a dangerous situation. She used all her strength to push her mental body into the woman's body, trying to squeeze out the mental body that was originally occupying the woman's body.

The original battle has now turned into a contest between two wills within this body. The winner will gain control of the body and see who has the stronger willpower to expel the other from it.

"Good." Ji Ye let out a low roar, and the energy of his mental body exploded completely. The endless power extended to every inch of flesh and blood of this newly acquired body. This weak body was strengthening at an astonishing speed. This weak body was becoming strong, and his originally limp hands and feet regained their strength.

He took a step forward and came behind the woman. With a flick of his right hand, the black hook caught the tail that was sticking out from behind the woman's buttocks.

Hooking its tail, then twisting it sharply to ensnare it, Ji Ye made a sound in his throat as he pulled it backward with all his might.

Lin Ya is now squeezing into this body. Ji Ye dares not use the black hook to attack the consciousness within this body, lest he hurt Lin Ya. However, he can destroy the woman's extension, allowing Lin Ya to successfully take over the woman's body.

Sure enough, as Ji Ye pulled the hook with all his might, the tail couldn't withstand it and immediately made a crisp sound like a tendon being torn. Now, Lin Ya's mental body was almost completely squeezed into the woman's body.

Two entities are vying for control of the body, and this struggle is arguably more dangerous and terrifying than a real battle.

As Lin Ya squeezed in, the woman emitted a series of sharp, low whistles from her throat. The sound was both human and fox-like, extremely eerie.

Ji Ye pulled on the woman's tail, gradually pulling a part of her mental form away from her body. As the part of the mental form separated from her body, Ji Ye turned his hook, and the sharp, cone-like tip stabbed down at the separated part of the mental form.

With a physical body, the black hook regained its previous strength and hardness. With a single stab, it was as easy as piercing a water ball with a needle, instantly piercing into the small portion of the mental body that had been pulled out of the body.

The woman's low growl suddenly turned into a continuous, shrill scream. The sound was extremely piercing. Ji Ye thought it would disturb the neighbors and realized something was wrong, since it was only five or six in the morning and some people were already getting up and busy.

The sudden, continuous, piercing screams would surely attract attention, and might even prompt the police to call.

He and Lin Ya wanted to switch bodies to avoid attracting attention. If what happened here alarmed the neighbors or even the police, it would be easy for the white hat organizations that wanted to investigate them to suspect him and Lin Ya. In that case, even if they changed their identities, they would be easily exposed.

Surprisingly, despite the woman's piercing screams, the surroundings remained completely silent, without a sound.

Ji Ye originally estimated that at least the neighbors next door would be woken up by the noise and would probably curse and grumble. Even if they were more civilized, they would ask why there was such a continuous and pitiful scream. How could it be so quiet without making a sound?

He suddenly realized that the yellow smoke released by the woman could not only prevent their mental entities from leaving, but also isolate their voices. No sound from the outside could get in, and no sound from inside could get out.

So they fought fiercely in the bedroom, and no sound could be heard outside.

Relieved, he hooked the woman's exposed mind completely and pulled it out with all his might.

As the woman's mental entity was pierced by the hook, its power immediately began to weaken. Lin Ya quickly squeezed completely into the woman's body, while the original mental entity within the woman's body was continuously pulled away by Ji Ye.

As the consciousness was pulled out, Ji Ye discovered that the consciousness hidden inside the woman's body was not human-shaped, but an animal with a large, furry tail.

Looking at its body, which was mostly exposed, the animal was larger than a cat but slightly smaller than an adult country dog. It was pure white, and because only its hindquarters were exposed, Ji Ye could not recognize its original appearance.

As the hook pierced her body, like a deflated balloon, the pulled-out half of her body rapidly withered and collapsed, and the shrill screams emanating from the woman's throat gradually weakened.

Lin Ya completely took over the woman's body, gained control, and together with Ji Ye, completely expelled the remaining half of the consciousness from the woman's body.

The small portion of the consciousness that had been expelled from the body had largely disintegrated, making it impossible to discern its true form.

As the remaining half of the consciousness completely dissipated, the yellow smoke that had enveloped the entire bedroom also dissipated. Ji Ye and Lin Ya, who had taken over the bride's body, looked at each other and then let out a long sigh of relief.

They never imagined that their simple desire to switch to a human body tonight would nearly cost them their lives.

"This thing, some kind of animal spirit, possessed the bride's body, nearly draining the groom dry and even devouring the bride's consciousness..."

She regained some of the body's remaining memories and understood why the groom had become so thin.

Lin Ya sighed softly and said, "Although this body is alive, the bride is already dead."

Ji Ye's heart trembled slightly. Unlike the others who borrowed bodies, they only suppressed the original owner's consciousness. Once they left, the original owner's consciousness could be reawakened and regain control of the body. After this non-human consciousness took over the bride's body, it directly devoured the bride's soul consciousness. It could be said that from that moment on, the bride was already dead.

"Is it a sentient animal?" Ji Ye watched as the yellow smoke around him dissipated, and finally he could see that the sky outside was gradually brightening. He could also vaguely hear some faint sounds coming from all around him. People were starting to get up and go out. Some were busy making a living and had to get up early, while others were getting up early to exercise.

Lin Ya said: "As the highest primate, humans possess the most powerful soul consciousness. After death, most humans will have a consciousness body. However, animals are different from humans. After death, most animals cannot form a consciousness body because their intelligence is insufficient and their soul consciousness is not strong enough. Only animals that have lived long enough, that is, animals that have become sentient, can form a consciousness body after death."

"Of course, once it truly becomes a spirit, the resulting mental entity will be extremely terrifying, even more so than some humans."

"Like that dog named Mantis, I heard my teacher talk about it. The lifespan of a dog is usually between ten and fifteen years, but that dog is said to have lived for twenty years. You know, a dog that can live for twenty years is equivalent to a human living for over a hundred years. A human who lives for a hundred years must be quite a spirit, so it can only pupa and develop a spiritual body after it dies."
