Chapter 129: Chapter 45 Are you awake? The surgery was very successful

"Is this Zhuchen?"

Before he could marvel at the orange cat’s miraculous methods, this exhausted-looking man’s attention was drawn to the architectural style of this place.

Originally, when he first heard from Lord Bai Fa that he was to meet his "master," the Queen of the Insect Clan, he thought he would be taken to some kind of Blood Flesh nest to see a horrifying and ugly insect.

But upon arriving here, all he saw was a courtyard styled in the Zhuchen manner, filled with plants, as well as a little girl tending to the plants?

"Please..."

"Master, I’ve brought the person you asked for, his name is Shang Ji."

Shang Ji wanted to ask this "little girl" where this place was, but then he heard Bai Fa’s voice behind him and immediately choked back his question.

Ha ha, so this is the Queen of the Insect Clan...

Shang Ji chuckled awkwardly in his heart, not expecting the Queen of the Insect Swarm he imagined to be so fearsome to actually be such a cute little girl.

The environment here was also very different from what he had expected – there was neither the undulating Blood Flesh that resembled Fungus Blankets, nor was there a lack of pretty little flowers and trees.

And from the looks of this environment, could this Queen be a person from Zhuchen?

Shang Ji subconsciously analyzed the surroundings, trying to gain the upper hand in the upcoming conversation.

"Shang Ji? That’s a nice name. Are you from Zhuchen?"

The little girl didn’t turn around, still busying herself with something, not a clear view.

Shang Ji’s eyes lit up, his conjecture seemingly correct, and he hastily made a connection to Zhuchen:

"My ancestors were from Zhuchen, and later, during the chaos of war, fled to Crete and established our family business there.

Our family has always maintained cooperation with Zhuchen, offering help to the people from Zhuchen who came to Crete..."

Shang Ji felt as if his memory was being drained dry, trying to grasp at and glorify every connection his family had with Zhuchen.

After speaking, Shang Ji did not receive a response from Bai Yi for a long time and mustered the courage to ask:

"May I ask, are you asking me to serve Zhuchen from now on? If so, I believe my family can do even more for you, and I earnestly request that you spare my family. I am willing to be at your service, to work like an ox or horse for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Ji was about to kneel with a thud, but was restrained by Bai Fa from behind.

What a joke, in front of Bai Yi, how could Bai Fa possibly allow him any special actions, in case he was planning to conceal his own intentions to harm the master?

"It is and it isn’t. Oh dear, I wanted you to stay a bit longer, but who knew you were so eager to join us.

Alright then, let him come over. Once you become one of us, you’ll understand everything."

What does it mean to become one of us?

Shang Ji sensed something ominous, but clearly, Bai Fa behind him had no intention of giving him more time to think.

Suddenly, Shang Ji felt a barbaric power from behind, firmly grabbing his hands while another hand pressed against his back, forcing his upper body down, and with his head barely able to reach the girl’s chest level.

He was brought in front of the little girl as if he were a prisoner being escorted.

The little girl turned her head, her brows furrowed, and Shang Ji felt the pressure on the back increase once more, pushing his head down a few notches to the height of her abdomen, and the girl’s face instantly resumed its satisfied smile.

But he had no desire to appreciate that cute smile any longer; he could now clearly see what the little girl was fiddling with in her hands.

It was, they were white flesh worms that, under the control of tender branches piercing through heads, intertwined into a Banyan Tree-like structure!

"Come on, don’t worry, it’ll be over soon, soon you’ll become one of us for real..."

Shang Ji felt like he understood what the little girl meant – this becoming, could it be like these insects, to be controlled through parasitism?!

Sure enough! How on earth could the Queen of the Insects be a kind person!

Even if she seems beautiful, perhaps it’s just that layer of disguise!

No! Maybe even the woman pressing her from behind is an Insect in disguise!

Shang Ji felt he had touched upon the truth, but reality left him powerless to resist.

His peripheral vision fixated on the little girl’s pale, delicate hand reaching towards him, and Shang Ji let out a loud, agonizing scream.

"Ah ah ah ah—"

.........

"Phew, finally got that sorted.

The Parasite hasn’t been cultivated yet; it’s just the integration of a Swarm Consciousness, not the beginning of a parasitism. What’s there to scream about!

Really now...

Speaking of which, the name ’Parasite’ still seems a bit lacking. Should I call it a ’Facehugger’?"

Bai Yi’s thoughts unconsciously drifted, recalling a name from a sci-fi movie she had seen.

Her hand made a grasping motion in the air, and she pulled out a Hero Conversion Certificate from the panel.

Although Shang Ji could now be considered one of her territory’s after the fusion with the Swarm Consciousness, Bai Yi wasn’t going to skip any necessary precautions.

As for the parasitism of the Insect Clan, research would require more time, and the parasitism could only begin after its successful completion.

But now, after being branded with the Swarm Consciousness, does it mean that even Humans will carry the Insect Swarm tag?

On Bai Yi’s panel, Shang Ji, lying on the ground, had already become [Insect Swarm·Shang Ji].

It wasn’t just Shang Ji; in fact, after transforming the ginkgo into a Tree-man, it too was labeled with this tag.

Bai Yi had thought at the time that this ginkgo, which already looked like a tree on the outside and had been transformed into a half-plant, half-animal being, deserved the Insect Swarm tag as an ordinary unit.

But it seems that’s not the case now.

The earlier Potato Mines that were fused did not carry this tag. Maybe there’s a need for certain blood and flesh transformation?

Bai Yi temporarily noted down this possibility, planning to experiment further later on.

She could already feel through the Swarm Network that Shang Ji, the new member of the Insect Swarm lying on the ground, had regained consciousness and was about to wake up.

"Are you awake? The surgery was very successful, and now you are an honored member of the Insect Swarm!"

Shang Ji opened his eyes to see the blinding Sunshine and a little girl standing beside him, observing him with curiosity.

He felt as if he had been dizzy for a moment, and afterward, it was as if he was reborn, carrying indescribable changes.

Although he was still Shang Ji, he felt that he was no longer his former self.

For instance, he now knew very clearly that he had been dizzy for 1 minute and 13 seconds, and the white-haired little girl in front of him was named Bai Yi, whom he would need to loyally serve as his "Insect Swarm Queen" henceforth.

And all of this stemmed from something referred to as the "Swarm Network" in his mind.

After a deep synchronization with the network, he finally understood his situation and the Strength of the Insect Swarm.

The master he was to serve came from beyond this world!

And the Strength of the Insect Swarm was so formidable!

All the information in the network made him feel as if he had stepped into a new world, understanding why the Insect Swarm had treated them that way before, realizing what kind of opportunity he had got.

Rising from the ground, Shang Ji proactively bowed down, half-kneeling:

"My Queen!"

It seems that the effect of the Swarm Consciousness is pretty good.

Bai Yi nodded in satisfaction and handed out the card-like Conversion Certificate:

"From now on, just call me Master like Bai Sheng and the others. Come, now that you’ve successfully connected to the Swarm Network, officially become one of us!"
