Chapter 475 Do they want to die?
They were initially just searching individually, but as time went on, more and more families were unable to find the insect, and the nature of the matter changed.
This unusual situation quickly caused a commotion, even drowning out the melodious music.
"Your Majesty! Our family's Lord Hader has disappeared!"
"Mine is too!"
"And our family's..."
Several anxious family insects finally couldn't contain themselves and crowded around the insect king, chattering away.
After all, the royal family was to blame for losing a male member of their clan at a royal banquet.
The Insect King's eyes swept over the anxious faces before him, and then he raised his hand in a reassuring gesture. "Please be calm, everyone. The palace is heavily guarded, and there will be no security issues. Perhaps you gentlemen were out having fun and went somewhere else."
His deep, authoritative voice calmed the previously chaotic insects considerably.
The Insect King then issued another order: "Servants, retrieve the surveillance footage from the banquet hall and surrounding areas, and immediately locate the whereabouts of the gentlemen."
With the insect king's order, insects quickly went to retrieve the surveillance footage.
But when the surveillance footage was shown, the situation became even stranger.
The surveillance footage showed that the missing male insects were not forced to leave; they did leave the banquet hall voluntarily at different times.
It was as if they had planned it together; they left the banquet hall almost one after the other, and in the same direction.
For a moment, the insects from these families became a little uneasy.
Based on their understanding of the male insects in their home, they must have come up with some way to harm the other insects and then put it into practice together.
Now that they've been exposed by the royal family's surveillance, they're unsure whether to continue the search.
In particular, they almost always left in the direction of the guest lounge area.
"It's like they planned it together? Could they be doing something together?"
"How about we look in the guest lounge? Maybe it's there?"
"Could it be... that they went to a lounge together?"
"Who cares which lounge he went to? Just look for him, right?"
...
This guess was immediately echoed by most of the insects.
And so, a large group of nobles surged toward the guest lounge.
The commotion attracted many guests who were chatting in the banquet hall, and the queue grew larger and larger like a snowball.
When we got to the corridor leading to the rest area, the entrance to the lounge was already packed with people.
They searched each room one by one, and finally stopped at the end of the corridor.
Because we've already searched all the other rest rooms, and there's no trace of those insects.
Therefore, this luxurious lounge belonging to the Thomas family became their hope.
However, the door to this luxurious lounge was tightly closed, and no matter how much the insects outside knocked, there was no response from inside.
"What's going on? Could something be wrong inside?"
"Exactly! How could we not hear such a loud noise? Something must be wrong!"
"Does anyone have a key to this room?"
"This is the private lounge for each family. Unless the insect in front opens the door, it can't be opened at all."
"How about we use force? What if the male insect inside is actually in danger?"
...
Just as a group of insects were about to force their way through the door, the mechanical insects appeared at the perfect moment in front of the door.
"Abnormal clustering and tapping behavior detected. Do you need assistance?"
The Insect King was somewhat surprised that the mechanical insects would appear at this time.
He nodded, his tone serious: "Scan this room to confirm if there are any other insects inside, especially those missing male insects."
The mechanical insects immediately began a deep scan of the room as instructed by the insect king.
Soon, a clear report echoed in the suddenly quiet corridor.
"Scan complete. Six insects have been identified in the room, including both males and females. Based on the patterns of their vital signs and energy radiation, they are engaged in high-intensity biological communication."
Then the mechanical insect changed its previous seriousness and circled in place, saying, "The lords inside are making insect offspring, so it is not appropriate to enter directly."
"Building XX?!"
"What?! Six insects?! Both female and male?! This isn't just creating sex, it's creating a disaster!"
"They're in the Thomas family's lounge?! Which family's female insect went in?"
...
This earth-shattering scan result was like a thunderbolt thrown into a calm lake, instantly triggering the nerves of all the insects!
The faces of the family members who had lost their male insects instantly turned grim.
These little rascals actually put on this kind of show at a royal banquet?
Do they want to die?
"Open the door! Open the door right now!"
"Listen up, you insects inside! Stop what you're doing right now!!"
"Open the door!"
...
The commotion outside was so loud that the media crew who had come to film the palace banquet heard it and immediately started live streaming.
The titles of the live streams on StarNet were instantly changed to all sorts of sensational headlines.
[A royal palace banquet featured both male and female insects? They openly engaged in sexual intercourse at the banquet! Is this a distortion of insect instinct, or a moral decay?]
The number of people watching the insects increased exponentially!
Amidst the chaos, the mechanical insects opened the door at the insect king's signal.
The scene inside the door was like a frozen close-up shot, instantly assaulting the visual nerves of all the insects outside.
By the God of Insects! What are these things they're seeing?!
In that instant, even the surrounding air seemed to freeze!
The luxuriously decorated lounge was now a mess, with clothes scattered all over the floor and the smell was appalling.
The air was filled with various pheromones, and what astonished the insects even more was that...
There's also a bug inside, a bug from the Thomas family—Simon Thomas!
He was the busiest insect in the entire room.
The other insects on the ground were clearly not doing well!
The impact was already strong, but the scene beside it was even more shocking, making the insects present want to split open.
Because there are more next to it!!!
Ah!!! Why can male insects be so ruthless?!
And that insect that was being... was none other than Had Thomas!
The insects standing at the door were unsure whether to be shocked by Simon's "bravery and skill in battle" as a female soldier, or by the "intimate" relationship between Lord Hader and the other males!
This is so much information, it's absolutely mind-blowing!
The moment the image became clear, the barrage of comments on the StarNet live stream erupted into a frenzy.
