The gray-haired woman who appeared in the basement of the hotel was squatting on the ground and gently stroking the strange-looking fat insect. She also muttered a few words from time to time, as if she was having a heart-to-heart conversation with a close sister.
Feeling Wang Jue's touch, the fat insect's mouthparts that had been spitting retracted, and its fat body squirmed a few times, moving closer to the direction of the woman.
It seems that this fat insect is also very familiar with Wang Jue.
"The people who came earlier went to the growth area. Don't worry, they won't disturb your transformation."
Hearing Wang Jue's comfort, Fatty's head with a mouth raised high and twisted a few times in the air like a cobra.
"Those people can't do it. They were sent by the T organization to investigate. If we keep all of them, they will definitely arouse the vigilance of the T organization."
Wang Jue continued, but the gentleness in his words was reduced by three points, and his tone was changed to a serious tone, with a serious look, quite like he was teaching a child who was not familiar with the world.
"You can transform with peace of mind first. I will help you find a solution regarding the body. Although there are a few first-level ability users at this stage, you can still find them if you want to."
As soon as these words were spoken, the fat insect's originally raised head slowly lowered, and its mouthparts continued to inhale and contract, moving continuously in Wang Jue's palm.
"Oh? Are you about to enter the final stage? You must find a suitable body within two days..."
As the gray-haired woman murmured, the fat insect's mouthparts expanded and contracted faster.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I will definitely be able to find a suitable body. Even if I can't find it, I have a backup plan. Doesn't the woman I caught earlier happen to be a first-level ability user? If that doesn't work, I'll use her body as the body."
As she spoke, Wang Jue's face showed a hint of pride. The information and resources she controlled were far more than what appeared on the surface.
It can be said that she clearly knew that Yang Xiu was trapped in the growth zone, and she also knew clearly how to rescue Yang Xiu.
Because she is controlling everything behind the scenes.
The entire Poetic Hotel, and even the entire Yunlong Town, is more appropriately said to be Dunzhao Digu's territory, rather than her Wang Jue's territory.
As long as Wang Jue is willing, she can even directly kill the assassin team and use their corpses as nourishment for the breeding area.
But she can't do this because her identity is not just a C+ level person in T organization.
If you want to complete your mission well, you must take the overall situation into consideration.
"You mean you can't use that woman's body?"
The exchange between one person and one insect continued. The pride on Wang Jue's face had not lasted long before he was suddenly overcome by a burst of surprise.
The fat insect rolled its head twice in Wang Jue's palm, its mouthparts expanding and contracting rapidly.
"Immortal Banban, that woman is actually a dual-gene first-level ability user, you can't tell... Quick, sister, inform the 'soldier ants' in the growth area and tell them to stay away and don't really pollute the Dark Thorn team. If a suitable body cannot be found in the next two days, the captain of the Backstabbing Team may be another alternative..."
Wang Jue's thoughts were racing rapidly, and he immediately formulated a reliable plan for the fat insect in front of him.
When the fat insect heard this, he twisted his fleshy body a few times, as if he agreed with the proposal, then turned around and crawled towards the small iron door.
Wang Jue, on the other hand, watched the figure of Fatty disappear into the darkness, and then slowly closed the small iron door.
"I originally thought that I caught a first-level ability user who could be used as a body. I didn't expect that woman to be a dual-gene first-level ability user. I encountered such a low probability. I really don't know if I am lucky or unlucky..."
After Fatty left, Wang Jue still kept talking to herself, as if this chattering process could make her think clearly.

, better find solutions.
"But fortunately, the captain named Yin is also a first-level ability user. As long as the needs of the sisters are met, using him as the body is also a good choice."
Moving, Wang Jue murmured as he walked towards the passage with dim light.
With the sound of the door lock ringing, the underground space filled with large and small doors once again fell into darkness.
At the other end, the Dark Thorn team was heading to the growth area in the passage.
Not long after Yin Ji walked in the dark, he heard the sound of unlocking the door behind him, and then a little white light lit up from behind, accompanied by the running footsteps of Wu Qi and Mao Jiarui.
"Why did you two come in? Didn't I ask Wang Jue to leave a message for you to wait outside?"
Yin Ji's tone was not very good. Half of it was because he was worried about Yang Xiu's situation, and the other half was because he had a headache because the team members below him were disobeying orders.
"Brother Yin, although Weapon and I have not yet awakened our first-level abilities, we can somewhat contribute and help you. Sister Yang is not only your woman, but also our teammate!"
"Yes, boss, saving Sister Yang is not just your business. Although we are not strong enough, it is still okay to help."
Mao Jiarui and Wu Qi quickly suppressed Yin Ji's emotions that were about to explode.
In Yin Ji's mind, the proportions of each member of the Dark Assassination Team are naturally different.
As mentioned before, if the person in danger at this time was Wu Qi or Mao Jiarui, then Yin Ji would most likely not go to the rescue without hesitation.
But in the eyes of Mao Jiarui and Wu Qi, all team members have the same weight.
The word loyalty might be a bit artificial to describe them, but at this moment, their words still made Yin Ji feel warm in his heart.
"There's not much else to say. I owe you two."
The mouse's face behind the gas mask was expressionless. Yin Ji turned around and did not greet the two of them. He simply said a word and continued to move forward.
Wu Qi and Mao Jiarui looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and immediately followed.
The distance to the growth area is not long. Compared with the previous road to the breeding area, it is shortened by more than half, and there is no unpleasant sour smell in the air, only a vague smell. A musty smell wafted through it.
Although the odor in the air has been reduced by most, the three members of the Backstab team still have no intention of taking off their gas masks.
Because they didn't know what the 'failure' in Wang Jue's words was, they didn't dare to take off their protection easily.
After walking out of the dark passage, they were greeted by a vast dark space.
This underground space was wider than any other place before, because when Mao Jiarui used a flashlight to shine, he was unable to illuminate the surrounding cave walls in the first place.
"This ghost place is so big..."
After discovering that the flashlight beam could not illuminate the distance, Mao Jiarui made a quick decision and turned the direction of the flashlight in his hand to shine the beam behind him.
And he also controlled the beam to move from the wall behind, trying to find the boundary of the space below in this way.
At first, the flashlight's beam reflected a burst of white light when it hit the wall. However, as the angle of the flashlight changed, after the beam moved fifty meters away, it suddenly seemed to be swallowed by something and disappeared completely.
Only the dust swirling in the air proved the beam's existence.
"This...is this place covered with cliffs fifty meters away? How come even the light is swallowed up?"
Seeing this strange scene in front of him, Mao Jiarui's first reaction was that the surrounding terrain had changed, otherwise
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
But how could this light suddenly disappear fifty meters away?
"No, look carefully. There is something strange about the places where the lights and shadows disappear!"
Yin Ji, who was walking at the front, also noticed the clues. He squinted his eyes for a moment and said aloud.
"If it is a pure terrain change, the position where the light source disappears will not change. There is a cliff at the position of fifty meters, which is fifty meters and there will be no movement."
With that said, Yin Ji took the flashlight from Mao Jiarui's hand and swept it towards the place where it was previously illuminated.
Sure enough, as he said, the position where the light disappeared seemed to have changed, and there was a faint tendency to move forward.
Being reminded by Yin Ji, Mao Jiarui blinked his eyes hard several times, preparing to look more carefully.
Under the cover of the gas mask, no one noticed that Mao Jiarui's pupils changed in the blink of an eye. The round pupils, which were originally black and white, changed into horizontal pupils similar to those of a frog.
Mao Jiarui's first-level ability has already been awakened, but he himself is not aware of it at all.
"Fuck, I saw it!"
After observing silently for a moment, Mao Jiarui suddenly seemed to be greatly frightened. He stepped back one after another and screamed uncontrollably.
"Maozi, what are you doing? Keep your voice down!"
Seeing Mao Jiarui's reaction, Yin Ji knew that the situation was not good, but he still calmed down and shouted in a low voice.
Even if he is on the verge of danger, he must grasp the situation as soon as possible. Even if he dies, he cannot die in an unknown way.
This is where Yin Ji excels, and it is also an important basis for him to become the leader of the Dark Assassin team.
"Those, those are not cliffs! The places where the light does not shine are not cliffs at all!"
Trembling words came out of Mao Jiarui's mouth. He seemed to be a different person, completely losing his previous calmness. He was like an overly frightened chicken, panicking for a refuge that didn't exist.
"Calm down! What on earth did you see!"
Seeing Mao Jiarui's reaction, Yin Ji felt anxious.
In order to stabilize the other party's mood, the thin man stretched out one hand and grabbed Mao Jiarui's collar.
It was only when he pulled his teammates closer to take a closer look that Yin Ji noticed the change in Mao Zi's eyes.
"It's that kind of bug! It's the bug I saw on the first floor!"
Because Yin Ji grabbed his collar, Mao Jiarui could not retreat with all his strength. His horizontal pupils like frog eyes were filled with fear, making him look weird and helpless.
"Bugs? Are you talking about the weird bugs that only you can see?"
Yin Ji was not a slow-responsive person. After Mao Jiarui said this, he understood instantly.
When he entered the underground floor, Mao Jiarui found a strange bug on the wall.
Since neither Yin Ji nor Wu Qi saw it at that time, they didn't know what this insect looked like.
After listening to Mao Jiarui's description, the two of them just thought that Mao Jiarui's ability had awakened and he could capture mutant creatures that they could not see with the naked eye.
And he also subconsciously regarded the strange insect as the investigation target required by the organization.
Later, they met Wang Jue and saw the scenes on the third underground floor and the egg-breeding area. They gradually forgot that there was a strange invisible insect in this area.
It wasn't until Mao Jiarui mentioned it again that they suddenly reacted.
"Could it be that the 'failure' in Wang Jue's words refers to the strange invisible insect before, that is, the shadow in the distance that can swallow the light?"
All the details were connected in Yin Ji's mind, and finally an accurate and terrifying answer was formed...
