I am an insect

Lin Ya didn't notice Ji Ye's somewhat unpleasant expression when she spoke. Although he knew Lin Ya didn't mean it, he still felt something was off. This was because he had lived for over a hundred years, and the dog that had lived for over twenty years was equivalent to him in human terms.

"If it weren't for the coincidence that we chose this couple, the groom you're now in wouldn't have lived long either." Lin Ya said, looking up at the wedding photo hanging on the bed, her expression somewhat somber.

This creature, of unknown origin, not only possessed and devoured the bride's consciousness, but it wouldn't be long before it drained the groom dry. Thinking of this newlywed couple, the man handsome and the woman gentle and lovely, a perfect match, yet they met such an end, Lin Ya, being sentimental, felt a pang of sadness.

Ji Ye didn't know what to say, he just hummed softly and looked around. Fortunately, the bedroom was not damaged. The smoke had blocked out the sound, and the neighbors next door didn't know what was happening here.

Although the groom was physically weak and had a low level of consciousness, he would gradually recover as he continued to strengthen his body. At least his life was saved, which was a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.

"Should we go see your teacher next?" Ji Ye wasn't as sentimental as Lin Ya. He was more concerned about whether he would encounter the same thing again when choosing a body in the future. It seemed that the number of hidden spiritual entities among humans was more than he had imagined.

Lin Ya seemed somewhat disinterested and sat down on the bed, saying, "I don't know why, but seeing what this newlywed couple went through, I kind of understand the meaning of those people's existence."

Ji Ye's heart skipped a beat. He looked at her and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Ya smiled wryly and said, "Isn't that right? If these people didn't exist, and these wandering ghosts were left unattended, wouldn't even more people suffer?"

Ji Ye thought for a moment and said, "Firstly, we are not wandering ghosts, but another form of life. From the perspective of insects, we are now the true form that humans should have. We are the adults, while ordinary humans are just a stage in our growth process, the larval stage that has not yet matured."

Lin Ya said, "We are the adults, and they are the larvae, but why can we only survive by attaching ourselves to the bodies of larvae?"

Ji Ye shook his head and said, "It's not that we can only survive by relying on their bodies, but that we have evolved to a higher level. If we want to stay in this material world and communicate with it, we can only do so by using the bodies of larvae of a lower level."

He paused slightly before continuing, "I've found similar records of the Five Insects in many ancient books. It's safe to say that this phenomenon isn't new; it has existed since ancient times. And I have a feeling that our use of the larvae's bodies is only temporary, probably because we haven't evolved strong enough yet..."

As Ji Ye spoke, he raised his right hand, revealing the black hook, and said, "As long as we can continue to evolve, I believe that sooner or later we will be able to get rid of our dependence on human bodies and live entirely on our mental bodies. At that time, we will be considered truly evolved and mature adults."

Hearing Ji Ye say this, Lin Ya smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps what you said makes sense. I just felt a bit emotional after seeing what this newlywed couple went through. I always felt that if similar situations were not restrained, they would become a devastating disaster for humanity. That's why I felt that the existence of those people who wanted to eliminate us was necessary."

Ji Ye knew Lin Ya's resolve was wavering. He thought to himself that this woman was indeed quite sentimental; no wonder she was deceived by her gambling-addicted husband back then. He patiently explained, "Like that monster that possessed the bride's body just now, such adult insects naturally need to be found and eliminated to prevent them from continuing to harm humanity. But whether it's humans or adult insects like us, there are good and bad distinctions. We can't generalize. The bad ones, of course, must be eliminated, but what about the good ones? Why should we also deprive them of their right to live?"

"You're right..." Lin Ya perked up a bit and said, "Besides seeking revenge on that bastard, I haven't harmed any other ordinary humans, but if they knew I existed, they would definitely kill me."

Ji Ye nodded and said, "Yes, even among adult insects, there is a distinction between good and evil. Those who cannot distinguish between good and evil are not on the right path. We just want to survive, and there is nothing wrong with that."

He paused slightly at this point and continued, "Let's go, take me to meet your teacher."

At this moment, the memories of the original owner of this body kept appearing in his mind. He knew that the original owner's name was He Longtao, a physical education teacher at Ancheng No. 7 Middle School, and that his wife's name was Ye Xuan, an English teacher at Ancheng No. 7 Middle School.

The two have been married for less than two months, and He Longtao is so infatuated with his wife that he doesn't even realize that his wife is no longer the real Ye Xuan. The once strong man has been almost completely drained in less than two months. If Ji Ye and Lin Ya hadn't accidentally barged in and tried to take over their bodies, He Longtao wouldn't have lasted long before he died from exhaustion.

Lin Ya was also getting used to Ye Xuan's body. Hearing Ji Ye's words, she looked at the sky outside and said, "No rush. Teacher won't be free until at least nine o'clock. Let's go have breakfast first. I feel a little hungry." She rubbed her stomach as she spoke.

Upon hearing Lin Ya's reminder, Ji Ye felt extremely hungry. He Longtao's body had been almost completely drained by that monster, and he urgently needed a lot of nutrition to replenish it, so he nodded.

After getting dressed, the two went out for breakfast together, appearing to be a loving young couple who had recently gotten married. Little did anyone know that two new souls had taken over their bodies.

Lin Ya and Ji Ye walked out of the residential area and followed an alley. As the sky gradually brightened, more and more pedestrians appeared on the alley.

The alleyway they were passing through was the very place where they had left the nurse and Wu Zhi's bodies last night. However, the nurse and Wu Zhi were no longer there. Ji Ye was wondering what Wu Zhi's reaction would be if he woke up, and whether the White Hat organization would go looking for him.

Fortunately, the giant dog that could smell the aura of the mind-body had already been killed by him. Without special means, these people would not be able to trace He Longtao and Ye Xuan. For now, Lin Ya and he should be considered safe.

Wu Zhizheng had just arrived home and his mind was in complete disarray.

After Ji Ye possessed his body, he had only a few scattered, blurry fragments in his mind. Now, when he thought back on it, it was like a dream, but he couldn't remember many of the scenes from that dream.

When he woke up, he felt extremely panicked. Relying on a vague memory, he found his sports car and drove it home.
