The protagonist sent a messenger to call Gun over. He had always wanted to ask them the reason for delaying the wedding ceremony, and now he could finally ask carefully while he was in a hurry.

After Gun finished listening to the protagonist's question, he signaled the protagonist to receive an information packet, which contained everything Gun had experienced in those days.

After the protagonist received the information package and read the data inside, he suddenly found that the scene in front of him had changed: a slightly convex white pebble on the ground, surrounded by several Rambo and other male ants. This was clearly " The classroom underground in Dongyang City.

The protagonist was startled, and his consciousness instantly broke away from the information package and returned to reality. The protagonist saw clearly that he was still lying on the silk bed, with a roll next to him, and the legions of the God Envoy King were moving rapidly around. The sky is cloudy and windy, and the sun is getting darker and the rain is coming.

The protagonist is a little embarrassed. It seems that the content just carried in the information package is the content carried in the information package. After reading it, he can see everything he encountered these days from Gun's perspective. The protagonist, who had never received or experienced this kind of information packet before, was startled by the sudden change in the scene, and his consciousness automatically returned to reality. The protagonist was a little embarrassed because he was too surprised. Fortunately, the people around him didn't know his mental activities.

The protagonist once again uses his consciousness to read the information packet in his mind. Everything he saw in the underground classroom of "Dongyang City" appeared before his eyes again.

Except for the protagonist and the short-winged male ants who died at the hands of Mantis last time, all the 48 newly born male ants with wings in the entire "Dongyang City" gathered in this classroom. However, this time they are not here for class.

The protagonist noticed that Lao Wang was lying on his back in the middle of the cobblestones. No one who saw his appearance would think that he was asleep. Because, his head was cut off and rolled not far away. Only the headless body was lying on its back, with three pairs of jointed limbs curled up tightly in front of him.

Lao Wang is dead!

The protagonist cannot read his emotions at the time from the information packet, but the scene is still very shocking.

Lao Wang's strong soldier ants were also at the scene. They patted Lao Wang's cold body with their tentacles in a daze, as if they still didn't understand what happened. There are no traces of wounds or struggles on these soldier ants.

Gun and all the male ants communicated in panic. They knew that Lao Wang was the only king and the only person in power in "Dongyang City". He died suddenly, and even these young kings could see that the death was unusual. But the young and inexperienced Wang Wang exchanged guesses and the result was: "The enemy is attacking, there is an enemy attack."

It’s not that these young male ants who fly unmarried are not intelligent enough. It's just that in their concept, it's impossible for companions to kill each other. They can only think of the possibility of enemy attack, even if this possibility is almost impossible to occur in reality.

But the protagonist firmly believes that this is not an enemy attack, but a murder. He didn't expect that a murder would occur in the always harmonious ant kingdom. He did not suspect that there were other reasons that led to Lao Wang's death. This kind of death with his head cut off was a common result of battles between ants. In the heavily guarded underground nest, no other ants or insects can sneak in except members of the nest. Why do ants murder their own ants?

Gun was a little more organized and asked about the soldier ants. The soldier ants said that after Lao Wang brought them to this classroom, he kicked them out and left them alone here. These soldier ants guarded the entrances and exits at both ends of the classroom and found nothing strange. No enemies entered or left the classroom. However, Lao Wang did not come out for a long time and did not summon them. Although these soldier ants had doubts, due to the order, they were loyal to their duties and did not go in to see what was going on.

The first person to discover the body was a professional worker ant who was responsible for cleaning the classroom and Lao Wang's bedroom every day. As soon as she entered the classroom, she saw Lao Wang lying on the ground in his current appearance, and used her tentacles to find that Lao Wang had lost his life (had begun to appear). Oleic acid, which symbolizes death), a distress alert was issued in a hurry, and then the soldier ants outside ran in.

Afterwards, the messenger workers ran throughout the nest and told all the male and female ants the important news.

Although Gun thought of asking Lao Wang's guards for some information, he was just a slightly smart young male ant and did not understand the key points of interrogation at all. Of course, the protagonist is also a dabbler, but as he has been influenced by modern criminal investigation dramas and comics, he will definitely be able to find more clues and learn more information if he is at the scene. But now the protagonist is just reading the information package of a scene that has already happened. He has no way to go back to the past or the scene to do something or change anything.

Based on the information Gun knew, this was a typical locked room murder case. The protagonist begins to miss Conan. This guy is an expert in locked room murders!

The young male ants did not communicate with each other and achieved no results. Although they had completed all the courses taught by Professor Lao Wang, their kingship was not recognized by all the ants in "East Yang City" before they participated in the wedding flight ceremony. Even they themselves don't think they are a king now. Therefore, they were unable to order the ants in the nest to take any large-scale action. Of course, even if they dare to give orders, not many ants will follow them seriously. For these young kings, soldier ants and worker ants will be happy to obey some simple, non-critical orders, such as the protagonist asking them to dig a hole or carry a vehicle to follow them all the way to the main nest. But if it involves major decisions, such as martial law throughout the nest, organizing an army to go out, etc., these soldier ants will never listen.

Therefore, this group of male ants discussed and discussed in the classroom. Apart from being filled with doubts and fears, they did not make any effective response. Finally, the male ants each returned to their own nests to rest. The crucial piece of evidence - Lao Wang's separated body that exuded a strong smell of oleic acid - was also thrown into the garbage dump by the conscientious worker ants...

This left the protagonist completely speechless. Although the ants are less civilized and lack criminal investigation skills and experience, any fool should know that Lao Wang's body is the key to solving the mystery of his death. They are just treated like garbage by a worker ant. Lost it! The protagonist felt a little unfair to his brothers. They also realized the importance of Lao Wang's corpse. However, some male ants felt that they were not the king and were not qualified to issue orders. Some did not expect that the corpse would be cleaned up by the worker ants. In the end, there was no Any male ant gave the order to protect the corpse, which led to this result.

After returning to their own nest to rest, after completing the hunting course (the course where the protagonist encountered a mantis and escaped from death), these male ants will be assigned to separate nests. This is also the last time the protagonist went to the nest where they lived together. No reason for the rollout was found.

In the middle of the night, Gun was awakened by his subconscious, and his tentacles felt the breath of rain - it was raining, which meant that the next day they, the young male ants, had to hit the road and go to the main nest to participate in the wedding flight ceremony.
