I am an insect

Ji Ye drove Lin Ya to her teacher's boxing gym.

After parking the car, Ji Ye noticed that the area was very quiet at night.

"It seems we're not the only ones who arrived early." Lin Ya smiled knowingly as she saw several cars already parked in front of the boxing gym. It seemed everyone was really looking forward to this gathering.

Ji Ye looked up at the boxing gym and then around, but didn't feel anything special.

His experiences over the past few days have gradually made him realize that his mental body is quite sensitive, and he occasionally has a kind of warning feeling. For example, when he was about to leave the nightclub, he suddenly felt a strange unease.

It was this unease that led him to leave through the back door instead.

Although he still doesn't know what caused that sudden unease, nor can he be sure whether the premonition was accurate.

Before coming to the gathering that the teacher had suddenly called for them, he had a strange feeling that he couldn't quite put his finger on. But now that he was at the boxing gym, he felt at peace and didn't feel any discomfort. It seemed that the boxing gym was safe.

After thinking for a moment, he followed Lin Ya to the entrance of the boxing gym.

The door to the boxing gym was ajar. Lin Ya pushed it open gently, and lights shone out from inside.

Ji Ye followed behind and immediately saw two people fighting fiercely on the makeshift ring in the center of the boxing gym.

There were two other people standing by the ring.

Of the four people, he only recognized the teacher standing below the ring.

Hearing the commotion at the entrance, the two people standing below the arena looked towards the entrance.

The teacher immediately smiled and said, "You've arrived."

"Teacher," Lin Ya called sweetly, and walked over with Ji Ye.

Ji Ye saw a thin young man standing next to his teacher. This young man had a distinctive hooked nose, which was very eye-catching. Ji Ye noticed his hooked nose first.

The young man with the hooked nose was also sizing him and Lin Ya up.

"His name is Xiao Ying." The teacher smiled and introduced the young man with a hooked nose to Lin Ya and Ji Ye.

"These are Lin Ya and Ji Ye," the teacher introduced Lin Ya and Ji Ye to Xiao Ying.

"Hello." Xiao Ying smiled, extended his hand, and shook hands with Ji Ye and Lin Ya one by one, appearing very enthusiastic.

"From now on, we'll be comrades. I hope you'll take good care of me." The eagle was very talkative and outgoing, making people feel comfortable.

Lin Ya smiled and said, "Of course, I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

The teacher clapped his hands and said, "Cheng Gang, Elephant, that's enough, come down now."

The two men fighting on the ring are tall and muscular, one slightly older, around thirty years old, and the other younger, under thirty.

Ji Ye observed their fighting skills and realized they all seemed to have practiced. They weren't using the abilities of adult insects; they were just fighting like ordinary people.

Hearing their teacher's words, they stopped. The older one chuckled and said, "Elephant, not bad, your skills have improved." Then he smiled at Ji Ye outside the ring and said, "You must be Ji Ye. I've heard about you. These past few days, you've been quite the celebrity in our circle."

The teacher smiled at Ji Ye and said, "This is Cheng Gang." Then he introduced another young man who looked honest and simple, saying, "This is Da Xiang."

Ji Ye nodded to them as a greeting.

After Cheng Gang and Elephant stepped off the ring, the teacher said, "Cheng Gang is a master of free fighting. He has won awards in the province. Ji Ye, if you are interested, you can learn from him. It will be of great help to you."

Cheng Gang laughed and said, "As long as Ji Ye is willing to learn, I am of course willing to teach him. However, Ji Ye may not be impressed with my rudimentary skills."

Ji Ye looked at Cheng Gang, knowing that if an adult insect was also a master of free fighting, the combination of these two factors would make him a force to be reckoned with.

Those who were summoned here by the teacher were not ordinary people; they all harbored adult worms within their bodies.

Lin Ya asked, "Teacher, is there anyone else?"

The teacher said, "I only called you all here tonight. Our small group values ​​quality over quantity. I called you all here tonight for two reasons: first, to let everyone get to know each other, and second, to discuss and prepare for the next step."

"What operation?" Lin Ya asked, intrigued.

The teacher said, "If we want to grow stronger and have the ability to fight against those guys, it's not enough for just a few of us. We need to have more like-minded companions."

Cheng Gang said, "Everyone understands this principle, but they are watching so closely, especially in the current environment. It is really too difficult to find an adult insect that has gone through a 49-day pupal stage without being detected by them."

Lin Ya nodded and said, "Yes, it's been almost a year, and I've only found Ji Ye. It's really difficult to develop more companions in the current environment."

The teacher said, "Therefore, we must change the current situation..."

The young eagle chimed in, "Teacher, how can we change the current situation and find more companions?"

The teacher glanced at him and said, "Adults come from larvae that have entered the pupal stage, but they must go through a 49-day pupal stage. Since passively searching was too slow before, we can actively create adults."

A look of surprise crossed Lin Ya's face as she asked, "Teacher, you mean...?"

The teacher slowly said, "We can directly find the humans who have just died, avoid those guys' eyes and ears, and store these corpses forty-nine years. As long as they can safely pass through the pupal stage, they will become adults."

Everyone was slightly startled upon hearing this.

Cheng Gang said, "But now everyone's identity information is registered. They know who died and when they died. It's very difficult for us to avoid them..."

The teacher said, "I've gathered you all here today to discuss the feasibility of this method. Please feel free to share any suggestions or opinions you may have. Don't hold back."

Xiao Ying said, "It's definitely not possible in the city, unless we go to a more remote rural area where the regulations might not be so strict, then it might be possible."

Cheng Gang said, "The countryside isn't like it used to be; it's still very strictly managed now..."

The teacher looked at Ji Ye and asked, "Ji Ye, what are your thoughts?"

Ji Ye listened quietly to their discussion. In his opinion, the teacher didn't have any opinions of his own, and these people were like a pile of loose sand, not going to amount to much. Now he even regretted coming here tonight.

When the teacher asked him a question, he replied, "The biggest obstacle to our growth and expansion is impermanence. Therefore, we need to understand this organization and know how it operates. Right now, I know nothing about this organization..."

As Ji Ye finished speaking, he suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, and a strange unease welled up in his heart. He immediately turned his head alertly and looked towards the entrance of the boxing gym.

When Lin Ya and he came in, they had already closed the door, which was slightly ajar. At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
