It was midday, the sky was clear and the air was crisp. A white-haired, short-haired female insect sat casually on the wall, her right leg raised while her other leg dangled down, swinging restlessly.

The blinding sunlight blurred Ah Bing's vision, making it impossible for him to clearly see the female insect above.

A small, metallic object was thrown down from the top of the wall, and Ah Bing hurriedly reached out his hands to catch it.

The small metal piece hit my palm, causing a slight stinging pain, but Ah Bing didn't care about that little bit of pain.

"Anyway, I'm leaving this place to you." The female insect's lazy voice rang out from above, her tone full of disdain. "Don't be so stupid, like you don't have a brain. If anything goes missing or that insect gets in, I'll kill you!"

"I...I..." Ah Bing was stunned, tears still welling up in his eyes. He couldn't remember how he answered back then.

After saying this, the big bad guy nimbly jumped off the wall and went back. The next day, Ah Bing didn't see his mute brother or the big bad guy. In just one night, all the small houses in the area were empty.

Because of the threats the villains made before they left, and also out of a desire to wait for his mute brother to return, Ah Bing moved from his old little house. The nearby residents seemed to be intimidated by the villains' influence, and none of them dared to come and steal anything.

This allowed Ah Bing, such a weak little female insect, to guard the house properly in this chaotic place.

Ah Bing's gaze lingered on that wall for so long that Elijah stretched out a hand and waved it in front of him.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, his remaining memories were interrupted, and Ah Bing's scattered thoughts were pulled back. He withdrew his gaze and said, "Ah, no... nothing?"

Meeting Elijah's suspicious expression, and then seeing Mikel's cold face, Ah Bing quickly changed the subject. He said, "You...you...what do you want to see? Just...just take a look...look around."

"Hmm." Mikel nodded slightly and stepped into the house.

Elijah quickly followed, consciously walking ahead of Mikel, adopting a cautious and protective stance.

Upon entering, looking at the decorations and furnishings, one can immediately sense that the exterior and interior of this house are two completely different worlds.

From the outside, it looked dilapidated, like a dangerous building that had been neglected for years. The interior, while not luxurious, was still quite tasteful. The floors were clean and shiny, the ceilings and walls were light-colored, and all sorts of appliances were readily available.

Looking through each room, Mikel discovered that although the house looked unremarkable from the outside, it was actually a small, airtight prison from the inside, making it difficult to escape.

Every window was welded shut with solid metal, and the master bedroom door was secured with a smart lock that couldn't be easily opened. The house had only one exit; once you entered through the front door, you could only exit through it.

Elijah looked around the master bedroom, while Mikel was looking down at the door lock.

"This...is...my mute brother's...room." Ah Bing pointed to the window of the master bedroom and said, "My mute brother...always...gives...me...good food...from...through the window."

He would always sneak around to the back window when that big bad female insect wasn't around, and his mute brother would give him some treats when he saw him.

Mikel looked at the window and asked, "Did you always play with that mute male insect outside the window?"

"No...no...not all of them," Ah Bing replied. "Later...my mute brother would also...go out...and play with...me, but...every time...that big bad guy...was there, and he...was so annoying."

At first, he was always outside the window, but after it happened so many times, he was discovered by that big, wicked female insect, and then the mute brother was able to come out to sunbathe every few days.

Unbeknownst to Ah Bing, as soon as he finished speaking, both Mikel and Elijah fell silent. Elijah immediately and subtly glanced at their admiral, the meaning in the eyes of the two female insects being self-evident.

Isn't this illegal imprisonment of male insects?

Logically speaking, space pirates kidnapping and imprisoning male insects is nothing new. However, they now suspect that this space pirate is actually Admiral Aris!

Elijah joined the legion late and might not be fully aware of the situation. But Mikel, having been pursued by Aris for years, knew very well. Aris, who appeared somewhat frivolous and carefree, actually harbored extreme anti-male sentiments.

For a royal female insect to harbor such thoughts is hardly a good thing; if it were to be exposed, the effect would be no less than detonating a small cannonball. Therefore, Aris only revealed these ideas to Mikel.

Mikel often warned him not to reveal these thoughts to other insects. Aris would usually just nod perfunctorily and say he understood.

Given Aris's aversion to male insects, Mikel couldn't imagine under any circumstances that he would imprison a male insect.

Could it be that he's going in the wrong direction?

The white-haired, short-haired female insect that A Bing mentioned was not actually Aris.

At that moment, Mikel actually began to waver in his judgment.

Mikel carefully examined every corner of the room but found no useful clues.

Elijah came out of the kitchen, nodded to Mikel, and said, "General, come and see this place."

Elijah had never seen many of the things in the kitchen before. Although he rarely had time to cook for himself after joining the Legion, he had still taken cooking courses with female insects. He shouldn't be completely unfamiliar with the items in the kitchen.

Mikel did as he was told and went over. He didn't need to go inside; he could see the strange kitchen utensils just by standing at the doorway.

A-Bing, also curious, followed along and peered inside, clinging to the doorframe.

The kitchen was neatly arranged, but it hadn't been used for a long time, and a thin layer of dust had settled on the surface. Several black, semi-circular pots were upside down on the countertop; there were four of these strange pots of various sizes in this small kitchen.

The spatulas were also quite unique, with several semi-circular ones of different sizes and some flat ones. There were also several knives of different sizes.

There were many other strange-looking creatures, none of which were recognized by the three female insects present, the two adults and the small insect.

Looking at the things inside, Ah Bing didn't actually find anything strange. He hadn't touched anything here much; everything was just as it was when the big bad guy and his mute brother moved out. He hadn't even been inside the kitchen once. He would only go into his mute brother's room for a while when he missed him terribly.

Moreover, there are countless things that a little female insect like Ah Bing, who has never seen much of the world and comes from a slum, has never seen. Even if she did see something, she would only think of it as something she has never seen before, and wouldn't find anything strange about it.

Therefore, Ah Bing looked completely bewildered by Elijah and Mikel's surprise.
