I am an insect

Chapter 47 Interesting Phenomena

"Hello, teacher."

Hearing Ji Ye address him as "teacher," the young man smiled and said, "Ji Ye, right? Since Lin Ya brought you here, it means she already considers you a companion. Welcome to join us."

As the teacher finished speaking, Asakino reached out his hand.

Ji Ye glanced at his hands. His finger bones were large, and his palms were covered with thick calluses. Given that this was a boxing gym, Ji Ye guessed that the body the instructor was using must have belonged to a trained fighter. Such a body had excellent overall qualities and could perfectly unleash the abilities of an adult insect.

He Longtao was originally a graduate of a sports school, and later became a physical education teacher at Ancheng No. 7 Middle School. He was also in excellent physical condition. However, not long after they got married, his wife Ye Xuan was possessed by a demon.

This demon had extremely strong desires. Using Ye Xuan's body, it absorbed He Longtao's essence, and in less than two months, it almost drained him dry.

Ji Ye borrowed He Longtao's body. Although his mental body could continuously strengthen this body, it would still take some time for him to fully recover. During this process, the power he could exert would be limited by this weakened body.

"It seems that next time I need to choose a body, I should also choose a similar trained person. Only with good physical fitness can I perfectly unleash the power of the mind body."

As Ji Ye thought to himself, he reached out and shook hands with the teacher in front of him.

The two clasped hands briefly, then gently released them. The teacher looked at Lin Ya again and said, "Lin Ya, tell me the specific details."

Lin Ya hummed in agreement and said, "Teacher, didn't you tell me to visit the funeral home more often to see if there were any suitable candidates? And that's how I saw Ji Ye..."

She then recounted in detail how Ji Ye escaped the pursuit of the middle-aged man in the white hat, then fought back and killed the middle-aged man in the white hat, as well as the young man named A Yang and the "Mantis" giant dog.

The teacher initially appeared relaxed with a faint smile, but as Lin Ya continued her narration, his brows gradually furrowed, eventually turning serious. The way he looked at Ji Ye also changed constantly.

"Our original identities were definitely exposed, so we changed into two new identities. It just so happens that He Longtao and Ye Xuan are a newlywed couple, which makes it convenient for Ji Ye and me to act together. However, what I didn't expect was that this woman's body had been taken over by a demon that had become a spirit. I don't know what kind of animal it is..."

Then she briefly recounted what had happened the night before.

"It's quite a coincidence, teacher, did you know that this newlywed couple are both teachers?" Lin Ya said with a playful smile, and the teacher waited until she finished speaking before letting out a long sigh of relief.

"You killed several of them, even that 'mantis' was killed. You've stirred up a huge mess; it's at least alarmed the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court..."

"That's strange, this shouldn't be the case... You lived to be a hundred years old, how could they keep you in an ice coffin for forty-nine days before cremation? And there's only one mortuary at the funeral home..."

As he spoke, he stroked his chin, a look of confusion on his face.

Lin Ya said, "Teacher, what's so strange about that? There are always some special cases, such as when the victims in some cases are not cremated and their bodies are kept for quite a long time. Ji Ye has many prominent figures among his descendants, so it's not difficult for him to keep his body for forty-nine days before cremation."

She had been secretly tracking Ji Ye these past few days and had learned a bit about him, knowing that the Ji family wielded considerable power in Ancheng.

The teacher said, "For an ordinary person, it's nothing. Even if the adult insects go through forty-nine days to pupate, as long as it's recorded, it's just a matter of sending one or two people to easily deal with it. It's not a big deal. But if Ji Ye really lives to be a hundred years old, the situation will be different."

"Teacher, I still don't understand." Lin Ya looked puzzled.

The teacher patiently explained, "Have you noticed an interesting phenomenon? Globally, including political leaders and business tycoons, whether you are a powerful monarch or a super-rich person with immense wealth, although they have top-notch medical teams and the most reasonable and scientific dietary arrangements, you could say that they have done everything to the limit and tried to extend their lifespan as much as possible, but basically they can only live to their nineties before passing away, and it is very difficult for them to exceed one hundred years old."

Lin Ya nodded and said, "That seems to be the case, but according to online records, there are many people in the general population who are over a hundred years old."

The teacher shook his head and said, "Most of those records are inaccurate. Due to the passage of time, there are often errors in the registration of identity information. That is to say, the registered age is older than the actual age. For example, someone might be registered as living to be over a hundred years old, but their actual age may not have exceeded one hundred years."

Lin Ya said "Oh," and then asked, "Then why did Ji Ye live to be a hundred years old? Is there some exaggeration involved?" She looked at Ji Ye as she spoke.
