My evil self is completely unable to exert its power in the Zerg.

The shadow of the abandoned school building, like thick ink, swallowed the last ray of moonlight.

The air was filled with a damp, musty smell.

Morpheus, like a true ghost, clung silently to the cold, peeling wall. His pale face was blurred in the darkness, but his scarlet vertical pupils gleamed with the cold, focused light characteristic of a predator locking onto its prey.

The spider's fingertips, like those of a fighting dog, were caressing the lower jaw of a female insect curled up in a corner.

"Tell me..." Morpheus's voice was low and husky, with a hypnotic rhythm, each word like a cold snake's tongue licking the other's nerve endings, "The address."

His red pupils narrowed slightly, and his mental energy, like an invisible needle, precisely probed the most hidden corner of the other's consciousness.

The female insect trembled violently, her eyes were unfocused, and drool uncontrollably dripped from the corners of her mouth, clearly deeply influenced by Morpheus's powerful mental suggestion.

A hissing sound escaped his throat, his pupils contracted and dilated violently, and broken words spilled out uncontrollably: "Blessings... Blessings..." His voice grew softer and softer until finally his head lolled to the side and he completely lost consciousness.

Morpheus clicked his tongue softly, slowly withdrew his hand, and frowned as he wiped the cold sweat remaining on the other person's skin from his fingertips with the corner of his clothes.

Then, in a fit of frustration, she tore off the piece of clothing—she couldn't let her clothes get dirty, in case the male insect touched it and it would get him dirty.

Morpheus kicked the fallen female insect again, a cold, knowing glint in his crimson eyes.

Just like before, this guy becomes mentally impaired simply by being asked about related secrets.

"So it seems it doesn't matter whether I help or not." Isaac stepped out from the corner.

His ability is to read thoughts and memories, but this female insect's memories have all been destroyed, so it's useless.

Morpheus shook his head, and seeing this, Isaac shrugged helplessly. He had only just been assigned to assist with the mission and had only just learned that Morpheus was a general, and an old man of similar age to a field marshal…

No wonder he looks so old; he always said this guy doesn't have any youthful vigor.

The blond vixen's eyes darted around: "General, why don't we take him back and lure the snake out of its hole?"

Knowing that the black-haired female insect was a taciturn person, Isaac took the initiative to tell her the plan, which was highly approved by the female insect—the corners of her pale, almost transparent mouth twitched upwards very slowly, showing Isaac a cold and emotionless arc.

Morpheus spent three years lying in wait at the Imperial Military Academy in order to uncover an underground black market network codenamed "Blessing" that traded a banned drug for artificial insemination.

Learning from past mistakes, the Empire has extremely strict regulations on insect-based insemination. All female insects desiring offspring must undergo rigorous screening and strict mental state testing before being allowed to use this technology.

Each female insect that registers for insect-working technology at the Imperial Hospital will be monitored until she lays her eggs and is registered.

But four years ago, a similar drug suddenly appeared on the black market. Its side effects were even more severe than those of the insect-working technology, and it could even cause female insects whose mental sea was within the threshold to collapse and go crazy.

The empire listed it as a banned drug and cracked down on it severely, repeatedly publicizing that without the help of male insects, female insects could only produce female eggs.

Unfortunately, female insects still fall for the deceptive promise of "male insect eggs," spending their entire fortune to purchase this drug at exorbitant prices on the black market, ultimately ruining their lives.

The military initially suspected the drugs had leaked from the hospital and investigated numerous medical staff, but ultimately found nothing. The source of the drugs even pointed to the military, which made the investigation difficult.

After layers of covert investigation, it was discovered that they were operating in a very secretive manner, using students to carry out this illegal activity.

Within the Imperial Military Academy, some of these elite female cadets had even used drugs to become insects. Of course, they didn't believe in the idea of ​​conceiving "male insect eggs"; it was merely a way to illegally increase their combat effectiveness for exams and internships.

The military academy made repeated attempts to arrest them, but all their efforts ended in failure. No one would believe there wasn't an inside accomplice involved.

Left with no other option, Morpheus was sent to infiltrate the military academy to investigate. After three years of lying in wait, he finally managed to catch a glimpse of the truth. All of this was thanks to his consistent "lone wolf" persona and his "only wanting to get stronger" insect-like persona.

Initially, Morpheus had suspicions about Freya Vincent, who had become the school doctor five years earlier. The production of the medicine required specific conditions; the military academy planet was isolated, and even packages underwent multiple layers of scanning, so it could only be produced on-site.

The insects with the means to carry out this task were the staff members of the school clinic. Apart from Freya, the other school doctors were all long-time employees with decades of experience and had no motive to commit the crime.

Freya's yearning for the military and her sharp and assertive manner perfectly fit the image of a bug that "wants to increase its combat power by carrying eggs," making her a likely member of their group.

However, Morpheus later refuted this, because the school doctor seemed to have a strong aversion to the "egg theory" and offspring, which was different from the mission of the "Blessed" organization.

Later, he heard a rumor that some organization had gathered at night and staked out the area for a day. It turned out to be some kind of Red Sugar Society organized by Klein...

Fortunately, the mission made some progress after that. Among the female insects that spied on Su Tang every day, there were actually insects from this organization.

Meanwhile, a few streets away, the atmosphere was completely different. Su Tang was leading his elite gang of "Red Sugar Society" thugs on their weekly "routine street patrol" and "protection fee collection" activities.

The male insect wears a "ring" on its tail hook, which symbolizes the "Demon King". This ring was specially made by Lancelot at Su Tang's request. The ring also contains powder made from fusion star cores that are harmless to insects. In addition to its basic functions such as positioning and defense, what Su Tang is most satisfied with is its fancy function - it can light up at night.

That's right, just like the light-up sneakers that some children often play with, the "ring" emits colorful and dazzling light when it is vibrated.

As long as the young male swishes its tail, it becomes the brightest (in terms of physical brightness) creature on the street all night.

"Get your act together! When you patrol at night, make sure you exude an imposing aura, immersing these fools in the terrifying, night-like rule of our Red Sugar Society, so they'll forever tremble in fear! Hehe!"

Su Tang stood with her hands on her hips, her chin held high, exuding an aura like a mafia boss.

Behind him stood the main members of the "Red Sugar Society," Adlaud, Lancelot, and the "Chief Evil Mentor" Li Heng—a truly impressive lineup.

The underlings of the Red Sugar Society watched their leader show off quietly, then habitually let out a noisy whine.

This is also a signal that the night patrol is about to begin.

Of course, in the understanding of the members of the Red Sugar Society and the "victims" who voluntarily and passionately cooperated, the "night patrol" was more like the male insect taking everyone for a night walk after he had eaten his fill, and incidentally accepting the "voluntary" offerings from the protected underlings.

Abbreviation: "Idol autograph session without autograph signing".

"Tangtang, I saw something in the latest news from 'Intelligence Hall' that says something like... there are bugs provoking us in the old campus?" Li Heng tugged at Su Tang's sleeve and shared the information on the smart device with him.

"I told you to call me 'plant' when we're out!" Su Tang said, hands on her hips, puffing out her cheeks at Li Heng. "Call me Boss!"

"Ahem, Bao, boss, it's nothing serious. It's just that there have been some new faces around the old campus lately. They don't seem to know the rules and haven't reported to our Red Sugar Association." Adlord whispered in Su Tang's ear.

Several henchmen stood up straight and pricked up their ears, pretending not to hear, trying to make the operation sound more convincing.

In fact, the Red Sugar Society had already investigated and found that these so-called "new faces" were probably just a few students who liked to conduct nighttime astronomical observations in the old campus.

But upon hearing that there were still insects daring to defy her, Su Tang's tail immediately stood on end in alarm: "Oh? They dare to disregard me? Let's go! Let's go meet them! Let them know who's in charge of this neighborhood!"

He waved his little hand, trying his best to make a fierce expression.

Behind him, a dozen or so carefully selected members, mainly the strongest fighters from the original fighting club, immediately straightened their backs and assumed the posture of bodyguards clearing the way.

"Boss is awesome!" Adrod was the first to respond, his tongue stud flashing excitedly in the dim emergency light, almost wagging his tail on the spot.

Lancelot glanced at him with disdain at his nonchalant attitude, rubbed his forehead, and his violet eyes swept across the depths of the alley, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

Li Heng seemed somewhat absent-minded; his blond hair still shone brightly in the shadows, and his emerald eyes were filled with disgust and wariness towards the female insects around him.

The male insect disagreed with Su Tang's enthusiasm for certain activities, but understood and respected them, and was always willing to waste his evening study time to fool around with him.

The group of insects abandoned their original night patrol route and headed towards the old campus in a grand procession.

Su Tang walked at the front, head held high, feeling majestic and imposing, as if she were truly a powerful figure going to conquer all directions.

"Boss, we've gone the wrong way. The old campus is on the left..." a clueless member of the Red Sugar Society whispered a reminder.

Su Tang glared at him, her amber eyes filled with accusation, almost suffocating her underling.

That wasn't enough to vent the little male's anger, so he started whipping it around with his little tail hook, which was adorned with the "Demon King's Ring."

Only after leaving a barely visible pale mark on the female insect's arm did Su Tang finally calm down, panting, and let out a soft snort, "Mind your own business! Do you think I don't know how to get there?!"

Having learned its lesson, the female insect's blockhead finally caught on and became more astute, realizing she should take the initiative to lead the way for her boss.

The old campus is not completely abandoned, but it is not used very often.

The area was near an energy transfer station, dimly lit and overgrown with weeds, with only a few old, dilapidated streetlights casting a faint glow.

A little further ahead, there was only a simple building that looked like an abandoned tool shed, standing there all alone. There was a faint shadowy insect moving around at the doorway, as if waiting for something.

But in Su Tang's view, this was simply a standard "anti-red sugar society underground organization"!

"Sneaking around...they're definitely plotting how to overthrow the Red Sugar Society!" Su Tang's eyes lit up; he felt he'd found a golden opportunity to amplify the Red Sugar Society's infamous reputation. "Brothers! Follow me! Surround them!"

Thanks to the military training he received at the Imperial Military Academy, at his command, the members of the Red Sugar Society immediately and skillfully dispersed, forming a semi-encirclement as they approached the tool shed.

The insect that was keeping watch at the entrance of the tool shed obviously did not expect such a large group of insects to appear at this time and place, and it looked like... they were up to no good.

He paused for a moment, then a look of panic flashed across his face, and he instinctively tried to shrink back into the shed.

This flustered behavior only confirmed in Su Tang's eyes that the other party was "guilty-minded"!

"Stop!" Su Tang shouted, leading Adlord and several members to rush forward and block their path. "Where are you from? What are you doing here? Did you pay protection money?!"

Just as Su Tang was loudly collecting protection money, no one noticed that in a very hidden shadow on the side of the tool shed, a figure that was almost blending into the darkness suddenly froze.

Morpheus's blood-red eyes narrowed abruptly as he stared in disbelief at the dazzling figure that had suddenly entered his field of vision.

Su Tang?! What's he doing here?!

As for the group of members of the Red Sugar Society with their peculiar style, he simply ignored them.

Morpheus felt his temples begin to throb.

He had planned everything perfectly, but he never expected to run into his "key target of observation and avoidance" here, in this way!

And judging from the little male's rant... collecting protection money?! They're even collecting all sorts of protection money from the black market contact points?!

Morpheus's investigation had just gotten off to a good start, and he was preparing to play the long game, finding out the source of the drug and the connection to this contact point.

Today, Su Tang's outburst has alerted the enemy, and the entire clue might just be lost!

Most importantly, who knows if these trainees, who are acting as subordinates, have any sense of decency? What if they hurt the little guy?

Isaac, who was lying in ambush with him in a distant tree, was also taken aback, not expecting that his male insect had found this place. The two insects looked at each other from afar, their expressions filled with disbelief and fear.

Morpheus immediately wanted to strike first against the insects, but at this moment the commotion outside seemed to have alerted the tool shed. There was a faint sound of objects colliding and rustling as someone hurriedly hid something.

The lookout insect's face darkened further, its eyes darting around. Forcing itself to remain calm, it said to Su Tang, "You... what kind of insects are you? We're just... conducting an astronomical observation group activity here!"

"Astronomical observation?" Su Tang tilted her head suspiciously, the tip of her tail swaying. The "Demon King's Ring" emitted a dazzling light that almost blinded the eyes of the wind-releasing insects.

"You're kidding me! It's pitch black, what are you observing? Are you looking for ghosts?"

Su Tang felt she had seen through the other party's lie, and became even more smug. She put one hand on her hip and extended the other hand, her white palm outstretched, towards them: "Enough nonsense! Hand over all your valuables! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
