Inside the central castle.
Under the gazes of all the male insects, Han Ling raised his hand towards the west and waved hello:
"Mount Bern".
Standing in the crowd, Bern Hill immediately shouted and waved, crying, "Waaah! Boss! You're here too! I've been waiting for you downstairs!"
Han Ling nodded, turned and left the second-floor stands, walking down the stairs step by step.
The two successfully met at the top of the stairs.
Bern Mountain slightly raised his head, looked at Han Ling, and said jokingly:
"Boss, I don't know why, but I feel much more at ease since you came. Even if the sky falls, there are tall guys to hold it up, and you are now the tallest among the male insects."
Han Ling rolled up her sleeves, revealing a slight wrinkle in her impeccably tailored suit.
He stood at the edge of the dance floor, calmly observing his surroundings, and responded:
"Still poor? Did you tell your uncle that you were arranged to attend the closing ball?"
Bern Hill shrank back:
"No."
Han Ling looked at him with surprise:
"Why didn't you say so? This isn't like you. Don't you always complain to your uncle?"
Bern Hill pouted:
"This is something your uncle can't change; he's too far away to help in this situation. But I've already informed my older brother that if I'm out of contact tomorrow, he'll explain things to your uncle."
When the unknown fate becomes known, and death becomes the inevitable outcome, Bourne Mountain is able to accept it with equanimity.
Although Bernstein said he was scared, he still arrived at the ball early. He was looking forward to the ball and to his final fate.
Bern Mountain smiled and looked at Han Ling:
"This is good, otherwise I'm afraid I would live in a daze until the day I die of old age."
Lately, Bern Mountain has been coming to Han Ling's side every day to compete with the robot for work, doing unnecessary things like serving tea and water.
Whenever Han Ling was focused on writing, Bern Mountain would stand quietly behind him and watch.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that male insects could be so focused when they were doing something.
Male insects are not just waste products that provide pheromones.
They are not pets kept in captivity.
They can live independently without the support of Aphrodite.
The content they create may be liked by many female insects, thus generating value.
Thinking this through, Bernstein suddenly said regretfully:
"Boss, it's a shame your credits are all gone. We should have spent them all yesterday!"
Han Ling's lips twitched upon hearing this. What kind of time is this to be coveting his assets! He really wanted to punch Bern Hill!
However, Mount Bern is also quite pitiful.
Han Ling glanced down at Bern Mountain's golden whorl.
Golden Potato worked hard for a month, diligently completing its planting task.
As a result of eating too much food, I still ended up at the last ball. I had worked for nothing for a month. It's really ironic.
Han Ling lowered his arm, straightened his suit, and instructed:
"Stay close to me as much as possible during this time."
Bern Hill scratched his head in confusion:
"But we're going to ballroom dance. During the dance, we'll be changing partners many times. With so many people changing partners, I can't control where we end up."
Upon hearing this, Han Ling awkwardly touched his nose.
He almost forgot that this was a ball.
At that very moment.
The music in the venue suddenly changed.
The loud, hoarse music started playing, and the next moment, the hairs on Han Ling's body stood on end.
This is a sound even more unsettling than metal scratching glass, making one's mind uncontrollably agitated.
Han Ling suppressed his irritation and looked towards Mount Bern:
"Just stay close to me, this music is awful!"
Bern Hill's ears twitched:
"Is it bad? I think it's alright. It's classical dance music. Although the rhythm is slow, it sounds very comfortable."
Upon hearing this, alarm bells rang in Han Ling's mind.
He quickly contacted the system in his mind:
"Quick, quick! System, mute this sound for me. If that doesn't work, just play any song!"
This piece of music is specifically designed for mental strength!
They felt comfortable because their mental energy was weak.
Han Ling has strong willpower, which is why she strongly resists this song.
Three seconds later, a rousing electronic song began to play in Han Ling's mind.
This electronic music track has a fast tempo that makes you want to tap your foot after listening to it, completely drowning out the music at the dance party.
Han Ling breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed her brows and eyes, and looked around.
At this moment, the male insects in the lobby on the first floor had already started moving to the music.
They paired up and, keeping time with the rhythm, began to dance a soothing ballroom dance.
Han Ling turned around, intending to dance with Bern Mountain, but found that Bern Mountain had already been pulled into the center of the dance floor by the other male insects, leaving only a receding figure.
Han Ling couldn't help but sigh:
"What I said before was a waste of time."
Just then, a strange male insect walked up to Han Ling, extended his hand to her, and invited her to dance.
Han Ling hesitated for a moment, then took the hand and followed the unfamiliar male insect into the dance floor.
However, just six seconds after entering the dance floor, Han Ling apologized to her male dance partner eight times in a row.
He danced classical dance to the rhythm of a disco, and right at the start, he stepped on his dance partner's leather shoes until they were deformed.
"I'm so sorry."
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"
Han Ling lowered her head somewhat awkwardly, focusing on her footwork.
Fortunately, his dance partner was good-natured and didn't say anything.
Wait! Didn't they say anything?
Han Ling was startled. He quickly reached out, grabbed the male insect's chin, and lifted its face.
One characteristic of the Zerg is that their hair and eye colors are very similar.
But this male insect with purple hair had grayish-white, misty eyes, with the eyeball and the white of the eye completely blended together.
Han Ling's heart sank.
After dancing four eight-beat cycles, during the break between changing partners, Han Ling looked into the eyes of several male insects.
Without exception.
The eyes of these male insects all turned grayish-white.
The males are all under control!
The dance music ended.
The surrounding male insects all stopped.
Han Ling also shut down the electronic music in her mind and, imitating the male insects, stood expressionless in the center of the dance floor.
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
Footsteps, louder and louder, came from afar and drew nearer.
With his eyes closed, Han Ling used his mental power to sense that ripples were spreading across the walls of the central castle.
Countless agile female insects, with their hands on the wall, came through it.
They weren't wearing clothes, only using a towel-like covering to cover their private parts.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and strong muscles—it's the familiar look of a female insect.
But Han Ling's eyelids twitched suddenly. These things were not female insects at all!
Beneath the female insect's exterior lies a filthy and disgusting gray creature.
These creatures hunched over, squeezing themselves into their tiny skin.
An enormous head was stuck in the chest of a fake skin.
His gray skin was covered with pustules-like bumps, which were distributed on his thin limbs.
Countless of these creatures emerged from the walls surrounding the central castle, numbering over 30,000 in a short period, and their numbers continue to increase.
The space on the first floor has become larger again.
The male insects in the center of the dance floor looked like prey surrounded by enemies.
