Chapter 37

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The two ants were a little confused at first. They had no idea what happened, especially Shadow No.2. She was the most confused one.

She had stretched in Chen Momo’s shadow earlier before going back to sleep. She was being dragged out by force when she was sleeping soundly.

It was already terrifying enough that she had been dragged out. Never had she thought she would be placed in an ant.

She had a mental breakdown!

Both ants moved their antennae, which was the sensing organ for smell. Ants would communicate through smell. However, the duo had never used such a strange manner of communication. Therefore, they failed to communicate anything.

To outsiders, the ants’ moving antennae was the signal of the two shadows communicating. However, they were the only ones that knew that their antennae moved because they were terrified.

In the next second, when Ke Meng dangled his huge finger mid-air, a strong wind was generated from the gigantic finger. It panicked the two ants even more.

“You guys might die as soon as I press my finger on the both of you.” Ke Meng’s voice came from above.

‘Devil, devil. He’s a devil!’

Shadow No.2 controlled the ant and began crawling on the floor while crying inside. She was trying to write her name.

However, it was too difficult to control an ant. She was a human and thus was familiar with the way humans walked. She needed some time to get used to walking with the ant’s six legs now.

“Stop trying to buy yourself time, nobody can save you guys here. I can capture you even if you escape.”

Ke Meng’s voice came from above again.

Both ants walked in an odd manner. Sometimes, they moved their front legs without moving their middle or rear legs.

However, both ants were trying their best to familiarize themselves with their bodies since the threat of death was hanging above them.

Curiosity filled Chen Momo’s tiny face as she watched both ants staggering to walking sturdily.

Of course, the fear in her remained.

‘The two strange shadows really came alive, and they continued to live when they became parasites on the ants!

‘What a terrifying species!

‘I suppose they won’t die instantly even if Brother Meng squeezes them.’

Chen Momo was thinking nonsense in her head. Two minutes later, both ants began walking in a neat, straight line on the table.

Ke Meng got a piece of paper and a signing pen from his room to get the two ants to write.

Soon, both ants stopped. They seemed to be waiting for Ke Meng’s order.

“Go ahead and write,” Ke Meng said.

Both ants were shaking lightly. They began walking at the same time.

They would stop for two seconds each time they finished a stroke. They would then adjust their positions and write again.

The strokes connected on the paper one after another and two Chinese names were formed.

Wen Yushan.

Mi Jingyun.

‘Sounds like girls’ names,’ Ke Meng thought.

“Gender,” Ke Meng said.

Chen Momo glanced at Brother Meng and then watched the bugs writing.

To be honest, her fear diminished as she noticed the two ants dared not disobey Brother Meng and let him do whatever he wanted on them after watching for a couple of minutes.

They could not revolt as long as Brother Meng was there.

Two ‘female’ words appeared on Ke Meng’s paper ten seconds later.

“When did you guys sneak into the mother and daughter’s bodies?”

Soon, both ants answered, “Ten days ago.”

Ke Meng looked at Chen Momo and asked, “Where did you guys go ten days ago? Did you guys feel unwell? Did you guys encounter anything strange?”

Chen Momo thought and said as she looked at the information the two ants gave. “My mom and I drove to Octopus City to purchase merchandise ten days ago. There was a period of time I fell asleep in the car because I felt extremely sleepy. Most importantly, my mom was very sleepy too. She parked her car by the street at a temporary parking spot and took a nap. I’m not sure if that was something strange.”

Octopus City was the neighboring city of Whale City. It was an even bigger city. The Chen family got most of their products for the convenience store from Octopus City.

Just casually mentioning this, the continent Ke Meng lived in was the Koi Continent. The cities with more population would be named after aquatic animals, while occasionally some had non-aquatic animal names.

“Do you guys know anything about that?” Ke Meng asked the two ants.

The two ants collaborated as they wrote. One was responsible for writing ‘we’ while the other wrote ‘do’.

“Did you guys do that?”

At that moment, both ants hesitated a little. However, they wrote ‘yes’ anyway.

Chen Momo could not help but stare with her eyes wide open. She did not expect that the two strange human shadows were the reason why she had fallen asleep back then.

“How did you guys leave the human body?” asked Ke Meng.

The more he asked, the more he realized it was something unusual. There seemed to be more of the same species behind them.

“No idea!” This time, both ants wrote that.

“Do you really not know, or you guys are lying?” asked Ke Meng, but he figured such a threat would not work. He needed to find out their fatal flaw for his interrogation. Therefore, he asked another question.

“Can you guys transfer to another body and continue to leave if I kill your ant bodies? Answer yes or no.”

An extremely grim atmosphere covered the two ants’ heads as soon as the question was asked.

The two ants’ antennae shook—they were shuddering.

They could sense Ke Meng’s character from his cold tone.

He seemed like he would really not hesitate to kill both ants.

He would not show mercy even though two human shadows were living in both ants.

Humans had inexplicable fear toward aliens. That might be caused by their genes or the brain’s mental intuition, making them think that foreign species should be killed. Due to such influences, Ke Meng currently thought the two shadows were aliens instead of pure humans.

Later on, both ants wrote ‘yes’ under Ke Meng’s threat!

They dared not write ‘no’. If they did, Ke Meng might really squeeze them to test if they would really die.

As long as they were still alive, he would torture them for lying to him.

His hand was extremely strange. They had been sucked into his palm, and they had been restricted when they had tried to run.

Ke Meng would still capture them even if they escaped to another body. He would then shove them into the ants’ bodies.

They did not want such an ending.

“I suppose you guys will die if you leave a body for too long? Otherwise, why did you live in someone else’s bodies as parasites? Isn’t it great to live as a shadow? Isn’t that immortality?” Ke Meng asked another fatal question.

“Will you guys die if you leave a body for too long? Answer yes or no,” said Ke Meng.
