I am an insect

Chapter 45 Scout Bees

Wu Zhi only felt at ease when he returned to his familiar bachelor apartment.

To make it easier to pick up girls and avoid being controlled by his parents, Wu Zhi didn't live with them. Instead, he rented a studio apartment outside under the pretext of needing to live independently.

I saw several missed calls on my phone, all from Qingqing, as well as messages she sent.

When he finally got through to Qingqing on the phone and learned what had happened between them at the hotel the night before, Wu Zhi was even more shocked. Although he had a vague recollection that he and Qingqing had gone to a hotel and something had happened, he had always thought it was just a dream. Now he realized that it had actually happened.

"How could this happen... I didn't drink any alcohol... Am I possessed, or am I seeing a ghost?"

As a good young man of the new era, Wu Zhi originally did not believe in these gods and ghosts, but his experiences from last night to today have made him have no choice but to believe. He thought that his father, Wu Zhengyi, seemed to know a master, who was the abbot of "Jingang Zhi Temple". He was said to be a highly accomplished monk. Should he ask him to take a look?

The more I thought about it, the more bizarre last night's experience seemed. I didn't even dare to stay in this apartment anymore, so I immediately grabbed the coat I had just taken off and prepared to go home to find my parents.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Wu Zhi was already feeling a bit uneasy, and when someone suddenly knocked on the door, his heart tightened, and he even felt a little scared.

"Who is it?" Normally, he would have opened the door long ago, but today he didn't. Instead, he asked who it was while peering through the peephole.

Through the peephole, he saw a man and a woman standing outside. Both of them were wearing glasses and looked very polite.

"Hello, excuse me, we're here to register information."

The woman spoke, her voice as sweet as her appearance.

When Wu Zhi saw a beautiful woman, his lustful thoughts arose.

He knew that the people renting in this apartment were a mixed bag, many of them with criminal records, so every now and then someone would come to register the tenants' information to ensure that he could know as soon as possible which new tenants moved in and which old tenants moved out.

He had encountered this twice before, so he wasn't surprised to see a man and a woman coming to register their rental information, and he opened the door.

He was afraid of things he couldn't understand, like what happened last night, but not of living, breathing people.

The woman was holding a form and a pen. The man asked her a few simple questions, including her name, workplace, and the length of time she planned to stay.

As Wu Zhi answered, he suddenly felt a chill run through his body, as if a gust of wind was blowing through his bones, making him feel indescribably uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a moment before it disappeared.

Wu Zhi's face turned somewhat ugly as he thought about the strange encounter he had last night. Could this be a lingering effect?

The couple didn't notice his unusual behavior. The young woman registered his answer on the form, then politely said "excuse me" and left.

Wu Zhi thought the young woman was quite pretty. In the past, he would have already asked her for her contact information, but he didn't today. Mainly, he hadn't figured out what happened last night, and he had something on his mind, so he wasn't interested in picking up girls.

Watching them leave, Wu Zhi also hurriedly left. He wanted to go home and explain what had happened last night to his parents, and he wanted to find a master to see if he was possessed by an evil spirit. In particular, the sudden, inexplicable chill that had just struck him, although it only lasted for a moment, still made him feel more worried.

Once inside the elevator, Wu Zhi suddenly remembered something.

"Strange, why did they just register my information and leave?" Wu Zhi had encountered similar registration information twice before. This apartment building had a long corridor with apartment rooms on both sides.

He recalled that in the past, several people would come to each tenant's door together. While one person registered their information, others would knock on the doors of other tenants. They would register all the tenants on each floor.

Today seems a bit strange; they only registered their own information.

"Have all the other people already registered?" He was in a hurry to get home, so he thought about it and didn't dwell on it.

The young couple who left before him got into a car after leaving the apartment; the woman drove while the man took out his phone and made a call.

"Boss, we've checked, Ji Ye is no longer inside Wu Zhi's body."

The bespectacled young man, holding the phone, continued, "I used the 'Reconnaissance Bee' to probe his body carefully, and there were indeed signs of adult parasites, but the adult parasites have already left..."

He paused slightly before continuing, "Boss, you guessed right. When I was scouting, Wu Zhi did indeed take the 'Feign Death Pill' a few hours ago. Although the effects have worn off, there will still be trace amounts remaining, which couldn't escape my 'Scout Bee'."

"Okay... then Anqing and I will go there now."

The bespectacled man hung up the phone and said to the young woman driving beside him, "The boss wants us to come over and report in person. Let's go."

The young woman, An Qing, nodded, stepped on the gas, and the car sped off.

A dozen minutes later, the car drove into an old, dilapidated neighborhood and stopped in front of a six-story old building.

The young couple, both wearing glasses, got out of the car and went inside.

The house looks dilapidated from the outside, typical of old, run-down neighborhoods in the old city. The cost of relocation is too high, so they can only upgrade the water and electricity facilities. But inside this six-story old house, which is the most inconspicuous old neighborhood, there is a hidden world.

Completely different from the dilapidated exterior, the interior was luxurious when the young couple went inside.

The interior structure of this house was clearly meticulously designed. The original brick-and-mortar structure was changed to a frame structure, and this one renovation alone was more complicated than building a new building.

It can be said that apart from the exterior still looking dilapidated, the interior is completely modern in design. It is like a six-story detached villa with the appearance of an old house.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a reception room, where the enormous crystal chandelier in the center alone is worth a fortune.

At this moment, sitting on the sofa in the reception room is the short-haired beauty who appeared last night. However, she has changed her clothes. She is no longer wearing the bodycon skirt from last night, but a set of casual clothes that looks very capable. She is also not wearing makeup, and she looks much more plain than last night.

"Sister Die." The young man wearing glasses spoke immediately upon seeing her.

The short-haired beauty, known as Sister Butterfly, nodded to them and said, "You're here too. Have you found any clues left behind by Ji Ye?"

The bespectacled man shook his head and said, "Right now, we can only confirm that he left Wu Zhi's body, and that Wu Zhi also took the 'Phantom Death Pill,' which should be related to the organization that the boss mentioned before."
