Chapter 69 Nightmare Made by the Soul of the Living

In front of Annan was a huge, translucent spider.

The highest end of its chelicerae is about 20 meters above the ground, and it is four stories high. It looked like a jasper-colored Black Widow—not the name of a god, but the name of a spider.

The spider's chelicerae and abdomen are filled with translucent turbid fluid. There are about seventy V-shaped marks on the abdomen. It looks like dense scars, exuding an ominous black air.

Annan could recognize it... it was the imprint of the Holy Light of the "Black Widow", the god of poison and spiders.

Its six eyes are staring at Annan coldly.

From the spider's eyes, Annan was very clear and felt the cold, emotional gaze from humans.

The reason there are six...because one pair is closed.

Where is the last couple?

The answer is self-evident.

"first meet."

Annan raised his head and smiled without fear.

"Should I call you Grover...or DeWard?"

【You can call me Grover】

A rustling voice resounded all around, vaguely composed of indistinct speech.

Annan turned around.

The "Messenger Grover" standing behind him had turned into a white withered bone at some point.

No, it wasn't a dead bone—it was a puppet woven from white silk threads. The only thing in its entire body that can move, the only thing that is moving, is only the pair of black spider eyes.

"I've heard of a viper that has a tail like a crawling spider. When the bird swoops down and wants a good meal...the viper will catapult and inject its venom into the enemy's body. "

When it comes to the technology of "web weaving", snakes cannot be compared with spiders.

Annan looked at the huge spider again, his right hand holding the gun drooped naturally, and his left hand was shoved into his pocket.

stared at by the gigantic spider,

He was not afraid at all.

"There is no doubt that 'Grover'..."

Annan stretched out his left hand towards the spider.

Then the right hand: "...that is, 'Deward'."

He smiled and folded his hands like hugging a giant spider on his chest.

"Do you want me to continue talking?"

Annan asked, "Do you still want to hear it, Mr. Grover?"

[please continue]

Huge spiders rustled, six quivering spider webs uneasily.

Small fluctuations were conveyed and turned into waves.

The incomparably cramped foothold beneath Annan trembled pitifully.

It was an extremely dangerous situation.

Looking down, you can see the abyss.

But Annan was not afraid at all.

Instead, he looked at the huge spider with pity and pity.

"Then, Mr. Grover... at least I have some respect for your piety.

"Let me go on and on—

"'Deward', it didn't exist from the beginning."

Annan replied calmly.

If the three players, or Neussel and Nefertari heard this answer, they would definitely be stunned.

But judging from the current situation, I am afraid that is the reality.

"Deward is a believer of the Black Widow - who said this? By the way, it is you, Mr. Messenger, who is one step late. Even if 'Deward' is determined by ritual, it cannot be positioned, only It can be judged that the other party is dead...then this is the end of the matter.

"Because in this world, the 'name' itself is the simplest contract. If you want to perform a remote ritual, you must first know the name of the target."

When Paper Ji and Alexander were chatting with Annan, they once mentioned the characteristics of "Black Widow" believers.

- Black Widow is the god of poisoning.

He was one of the very few gods who demanded a living sacrifice.

There is no need to sacrifice the victim to Himself in the ceremony, just after killing someone with a specific poison, sacrifice the "parts" with this part of the poison in the ceremony. Such as liver, hair, nails, etc.

In a region, there will only be one Black Widow believer.

Once alien spider worshipers break into the web, they will only be poisoned first by local Black Widow believers.

That is to say...

"The believers of Black Widow, it is impossible to cooperate to kill."

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Mr. Grover. You fabricated lies and created the illusion of DeWard's existence... and then sent 'Job' who didn't go to the mill to kill him. I'm afraid it was just to make up for it' DeWard's loophole.

"But since Job's corpse can be used to replace DeWard... I'm curious, what have they become?

"And... Is this person Dewald real?"

[Naturally they are all broken up]

The spider rustled, as if laughing.

[Dward is someone I've killed before, of course he existed]

So that's it... is it a real person who has been killed before?

So even if you are probed by some high-end rituals, you will not get a prompt like "The number you dialed is empty".

but……

Annan raised his brows, raised his head and questioned in a deep voice, "So were they crushed by Alice...or were they crushed by your own hands?"

The owner of this nightmare should be Alice's mother. But at its heart is clearly Alice as a daughter. According to Grover's description, it was the expanding, ground-to-mud blood and flesh that finally killed the lumberjacks.

That should be the moment when the nightmare was born.

Since Grover can serve as a witness, explain the matter to others.

It means that he is not suspected.

The messenger must have the best alibi - like when it happened, he wasn't in the Sporophyte Mill at all.

But if Job died after the nightmare was born... that is, after the ceremony was completed. How could he be used to impersonate DeWard?

Listening to Grover's words, it seems that they have all turned into mashed meat.

Why is this?

When did Job die?

"……Do not."

Annan's expression changed.

He had already guessed it.

Looking at Annan's expression, the spider gradually approached by sliding from the web.

It was close to Annan, mocking recklessly.

【What else do you want to know? I can tell you all]

[Sporocyst mill is indeed centered on Alice]

[They did die in a nightmare with Alice as the core]

[But who has stipulated—]

The spider gradually approached Annan.

Its two chelicerae, like pincers, pressed on Annan's only foothold.

The earth gradually oozes dark green light.

[——The soul of a living person cannot be used to create nightmares? 】

……Yes.

Alice is the real victim.

She is not dead at all!

Therefore, in this nightmare, the powers of [Cobweb] and [Dream] will fight against each other.

There is no doubt that the cobwebs were the result of the interference of Grover and Black Widow.

And [Dream] is Alice's own characteristic!
