Four days ago.
The bureau began to investigate a new case.
Although it is also the case of disappearance, it is not the same as the case of the skinned girl.
The victims this time have no special preference. Except for the elderly, there are men, women, and children. They disappeared without a trace overnight. The room was as clean as ever, and the doors and windows were not damaged. As if it disappeared out of thin air, the police did not connect these cases at first, until one day, an overlooked clue entered their field of vision.
There are always strange traces in the homes of the missing.
Dark, corroded wood, climbing marks in dark corners, and fecal eggs left on the ground.
After days of arduous investigation with no results, the police contacted the Bureau of Occult Investigations with one last ray of hope.
And Zhao Dong was the unlucky one who was sent there.
"... I went to the crime scene with the instrument, it was clean and there was no problem." Zhao Dong said slowly: "However, as soon as the instrument approached the evidence, it started to alarm wildly. I have never seen such a high level. At first I thought it was a problem with the instrument, but after changing it, it was still the same."
"I hurriedly reported it, and the above also attached great importance to it and said that someone would be dispatched to deal with it soon..."
Cheng Cezhi's face was blank: "Then... where is the problem?"
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly: "There is no problem anywhere."
- That's the weirdest part.
On the night of the mission, Zhao Dong went home to rest as usual.
In the middle of the night, he was awakened from sleep by the itch on his ankle. While scratching in a daze, he felt that the skin under his fingers became swollen, soft, and lost its elasticity, as if something was squirming under the skin.
Zhao Dong woke up suddenly, hurriedly turned on the light, and then he was horrified to find that his ankle had become what it is now.
Cheng Cezhi listened to Zhao Dong's retelling in horror, his face turned white:
"That, that, what to do with that! You can't let them really, really get out of your body... crawl out!"
"I have already contacted the above, they sent the A-level team of the Central Combat Section down, and they should be able to arrive in two days." Zhao Dong sighed: "Alas, I hope they can find a way..."
Ye Jia, who was standing on the side, didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if he didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two at all. His eyes drooped slightly, and his eyes fixed on Zhao Dong's two On the terrifying leg, the look in his eyes was unprecedentedly solemn.
—Yes, he knew what it was.
Even in the game, this is one of the most difficult and intimidating monsters to deal with.
Ghost-faced spider.
At this time, an evil and terrifying creature, living in groups, will be hundreds of thousands when they are dispatched, and they will kidnap humans back to their lair as food and eggs for the mother.
During the breeding season, the mother's children will only be born in carefully selected healthy human bodies, while ordinary spider soldiers are not so picky, they will leave their own eggs in various places where they walk, and these eggs will have nearly A week of dormancy, after the dormancy period, will randomly look for surrounding human hosts, and then develop and grow in their bodies, slowly eating the hosts from the inside.
Just a worm mother, in the game, it belongs to B+ or above, even A+ level monsters.
And the entire worm nest adds up, that is, a disaster close to S-level.
They reproduce so quickly that they can eat up an entire city in a matter of weeks.
To make matters worse, if a person is parasitized by worm eggs, the worm eggs cannot be forcibly removed by ordinary methods, otherwise the larvae will be provoked and the host will die.
Apart from taking the secretory glands in the belly of the female worm and using its scent to lure the larvae out, there is almost no solution.
This is absolutely a big hassle.
And he can't pin his hopes on the newly dispatched combat team, who have no understanding of the habits of these creatures, and may instead further slide the situation to the brink of out of control.
Ye Jia glanced at Zhao Dong lying in the isolation ward and sighed in his heart.
Forget it, after all, this is for a revolutionary comrade-in-arms who often helps him to leave sooner or later as a cover, and an honest man who will deal with the redundant documents he has pushed to him without complaint.
- This is probably the sympathy between the social animals.
·
The first step for insecticidal mothers to get their glands is to find their nests.
Ye Jia opened the ghost and went to the police station. He first destroyed the eggs that had not hatched in the evidence room, and then roughly scanned the place where the disappearance happened, and had a general scope in his mind.
In the entire swarm, except for the worm mother, the rest of the spider soldiers have low IQ tool spiders. They never take into account the serial killer law of "rabbits don't eat grass on the edge of the nest". Also eat well.
Ye Jia's gaze fell on an abandoned construction site on the map and made a rough estimate.
It's probably here.
The next steps are left to the little black hand to complete—
Ye Jia stood on the edge of the abandoned construction site, and his iron hand ruthlessly pulled the little black hand off his shoulders: "Go, find."
The little black hand frantically resisted: "Ah, ah, I don't want the ghost-faced spider. It's too scary woo woo woo woo-"
Ye Jia: "I'll let you play with your phone tonight."
"… "
The little black hand suddenly became energetic: "Okay boss! Thank you boss! I'll go to the boss now!"
Soon, with the help of the little black hand who was extremely sensitive to yin, Ye Jia found the entrance to the worm's nest without much trouble.
This is an abandoned building.
It seems to be an unfinished project left over from the rapid construction of the city, and because it is on the edge of the city, it has been ignored for at least five or six years.
The ground is overgrown with weeds, the dirty rough walls are painted with messy graffiti, the window frames and door frames that are not secure are like empty eye sockets, staring absently at the gray sky in the distance, surrounded by the towering sky. The suffocating energy, even ordinary people without spiritual vision would feel inexplicable fear and trepidation standing here.
The ground had collapsed due to age, revealing a large black hole.
Ye Jia stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down.
A rotten and rotten smell diffused from it, and the faint sound of rustling crawling was vaguely heard.
That's it.
"How are you going to get in?" Little Black Hand leaned out from Ye Jia's shoulder and asked curiously.
Ye Jia did not answer its question, but stared thoughtfully at the dark cave in front of him.
This is the most critical second step - entering the nest.
It is also the hardest step.
Ghost-faced spiders have poor vision, but their sense of smell is amazing. They are especially familiar with the fresh and warm smell of living people. In addition, the nest must be covered with spider webs—that is the extended sensory organs of ghost-faced spiders. They want to sneak in and kill them. Losing the mother insect under the protection of thousands of spider soldiers is simply as difficult as reaching the sky.
However, it is not impossible.
Ye Jia slowly put on the hood and pressed down the brim.
The next second, a wisp of cold ghostly energy slowly spread out from his body, quickly wrapping him in it.
In just a few seconds before and after, the aura on his body was completely the same as that of Li Gui.
The little black hand stared at the youth in front of him in shock
Not only the breath, but from the appearance, the young man in front of him is completely a real ghost. The dark hood completely covers his face, and only half of his pale and sharp chin is exposed. The dark smoke and dust made his figure hazy and distant, like a layer of realm that could not be penetrated by sight.
"This... this..." Little Black Hand was stunned: "This is too strong!"
It circled Ye Jia in disbelief: "Are you really human?"
Ye Jia: "..."
Even though there was a layer of gloomy black air, the little black hand could still feel the threatening gaze of the other party, it shivered a bit, and quickly rushed back to Ye Jia's shoulder, and said nonchalantly: "Cough, um, let's lets go!"
The cave of the ghost-faced spider is dark and deep.
Ye Jia carefully walked down the entrance of the cave, the road under his feet was slippery and rough, and the sticky spider silk covered with dust covered the narrow passage like a net, making his walking more and more difficult.
Walking out of the passage, the eyes suddenly opened up.
Ye Jia raised his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him in amazement.
After so many years of fighting in the game, his night vision ability has become very strong. With a shimmer of light penetrating from the hole behind him, Ye Jia can clearly see the panorama of the cave in front of him.
The ghost-faced spiders have emptied the entire ground below.
The cave in front of you is astonishingly large, and countless strange passages are densely shuttled through it. It is dark and I don’t know where it leads. From the ground to the top of the cave is covered with layers of cobwebs, and everywhere is filled with a rot. The stench of corpses.
This is the largest ghost-faced spider nest Ye Jia has ever seen.
It's hard to imagine how these monsters sneak into reality, and then quietly dig under the ground to create their own huge kingdom, prey, multiply, invade...
Like a malignant tumor growing under the skin of the city.
In such a huge lair, there are at least spider soldiers and insect mothers above A-rank.
The strange thing is that he has not encountered a single spider soldier so far.
But that's a good thing for him.
Ye Jia's fingertips had a faint blue ghost fire. He bent down and brought the ghost fire close to the spider web on the ground.
A little bright red trace appeared on the cobweb.
That is the vitality of human beings.
- All living humans are the reserve food and nursery of the insect mother. If you find a human, you will find the insect mother.
Ye Jia followed the little bit of vitality forward.
After covering up all the human odors on his body, his existence was almost dissolved in the entire cave. As long as the spider soldiers did not deliberately search, it was almost impossible to distinguish his footsteps from the breeze blowing the spider web.
His figure is like an erratic shadow, following the tortuous passages in the cave, quietly sneaking to the depths,
The further forward, the more terrifying the coverage density of the spider webs. Layers of sticky spider silk covered the entire cave airtight, and the rancid smell in the air became stronger and stronger, making it almost breathless.
Suddenly, Ye Jia's hand touched something.
Soft, sticky and covered in spider silk.
He turned his head to look beside him.
The dim ghost fire reluctantly dispelled the darkness by more than an inch. Under the weak light, an upside-down pale face was directed at Ye Jia, a pair of turbid and gray eyes were half-closed, and the twisted lips were wide open. The whole face is like a melting wax figure.
Ye Jia narrowed his eyes slightly.
He cautiously distanced himself from the face in front of him, and then ignited the ghost fire at his fingertips.
In front of him was a huge lair. The cobwebs on the ground were full of rotting corpses, some of which had been devoured and incomplete, and some had only a handful of bones left.
Countless human beings were wrapped in spider silk like cicada chrysalis, hanging upside down in the cave, every face was equally pale, sluggish, and stiff. In their stomachs, they could faintly see the wriggling bulge, as if there was something Something grows inside their bodies.
This is the nursery of the ghost-faced spider.
The worm mother should be nearby.
Ye Jia was about to put out the ghost fire at his fingertips, but he saw a huge dark shadow suddenly appeared in the cave not far away, and six feet covered with dark and long hair stretched out, on the huge brown body On top, with an ugly face, six eyes staring viciously at him, sharp claws sticking out of his lips.
Oops, spiderman.
A touch of cold light appeared on Ye Jia's fingertips.
However, unexpectedly, the spider soldier did not intend to attack him.
Its chelic feet open and close, making a clicking sound, and a hissing guttural sound escapes from it: "Participating in a meeting?"
Meeting
Ye Jia's fingertips flickered coldly, and he silently said "um".
"You went wrong." Spider Soldier hissed, "Follow me."
"The Queen has been impatient to wait."
After finishing speaking, it turned around and drilled back into the cave where it came from.
Being taken directly to the mother of insects is like a pie in the sky.
Ye Jia hooked his lips.
He put away the ghost fire and followed.
