Chapter 29: The spider wanders into a spider (4)
The smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring his vision. Li Sheng returned to his standing position, breathing heavily.
Sand——
The sound of dense footsteps came from a distance. Countless small spider monsters split into two groups and rushed into the ruins of the building to rescue the ink-colored spiders who did not know whether they were alive or dead. Another wave rushed to Li Sheng.
Li Sheng tried his best to kill, but his muscles ached, his limbs were weak, and the spider monsters seemed endless, making it difficult to move even an inch.
Click, click, click—
The giant black spider slowly stepped out of the ruins of the building, suddenly leaned forward, and raised its abdomen high toward Li Sheng.
The color of the giant spider's body changes mottledly, creating thousands of patterns in an instant.
Li Sheng's pupils were trembling violently as he was trying to break out of the encirclement. He could clearly see the shape of the giant spider, but his brain could not distinguish its category.
‘This is an organism about the size of a heavy truck, roughly divided into a front part and a rear part, and the two parts are connected by a relatively thin handle’
'The front part is inlaid with seven yellow objects'
'Under the middle, there are eight longer stick-like objects, similar to spider legs.'
'Wait, what? Is it a spider? Why can't I remember? ’
‘Wait, who am I? ’
My thoughts were in chaos and my consciousness stopped abruptly.
————
The breeze blew across my cheeks, bringing a slight coolness.
Li Sheng opened his eyes in a daze and found that he was hanging upside down in the air, with his whole body wrapped in white silk threads like a cocoon, with only his cheeks exposed.
My muscles all over my body were so weak that I couldn't even express my expression, so I had to turn my eyes and observe the surrounding situation.
This seems to be the interior of a shopping mall. The word "seemingly" is used because everything as far as the eye can see is covered with thick spider webs.
A large number of small spider monsters walked between bridges, webways, and stairs, carrying cocoons of different shapes one by one and hanging them on the web.
The cocoons can be big or small. The small ones hold mice, squirrels, and birds, and the big ones hold cats and dogs.
There are also larger cocoons containing humans. Their eyes were closed and their expressions were stiff. It was unknown whether they fell into drowsiness or were injected with a paralyzing toxin.
In a sense, it would be better not to wake up——
Higher up the spider web, there are densely packed dried cocoons hanging. The humans inside have long been sucked dry of blood and marrow, leaving only a shriveled, wrinkled skin hanging from the bones.
Whenever the wind blows, it makes a whining sound.
Surrounded by cocoons, the giant black-colored spider was entrenched in the center of the web, motionless.
Its injuries were particularly severe. In addition to the dense wounds on its limbs, its back was bloody and bloody, one of its jaws was broken, and the color on its body slowly flowed unconsciously.
Dozens of small spider monsters crawled around on it, spitting out spider webs to cover the wounds and stop the green blood from flowing out.
Li Sheng's pupils kept trembling. Just looking at the Mo Cai Spider, the feeling of confusion came to his mind.
Memories from before surfaced, and he remembered the fight on the road, but in the blink of an eye this memory became blurry and faded.
This forgetting effect even spreads further, and I can no longer remember why I am in the shadow world.
I can’t read any more.
He forced himself to shift his gaze and look down.
Through the gaps in the spider web, you can see the shopping malls in the real world, bustling and crowded with people. These people are completely unaware of what kind of devil's cave there is in the other world right next to them. Brushing——
The silk cocoon on his body felt tightening, as if something was pulling on him.
Li Sheng sighed in his heart, silently moved his mouth muscles, and tried to bite his tongue with his teeth. Always be prepared to bite the tip of your tongue and stimulate your whole body with pain to see if you can get rid of the paralysis and fight back.
The expected image of being dragged away and brought to the mouth of the Mocai Spider did not appear. The power on the feet pulled the cocoon over the railing and dragged it all the way into the dimly lit employee passage.
She was not the only cocoon in the passage. Ye Jiaying and Yuan Zhixia were also wrapped in cocoons. When they saw Li Sheng, they tried their best to blink at him and move their facial muscles.
"Don't move."
A crisp and childish human voice suddenly sounded in the employee passage, and the voice came from a small spider monster.
It is no different from the others of its kind, except that the right half of its head is covered with a layer of white gauze.
A talking spider monster?
Shasha——
The spider monster crawled next to Li Sheng's head and bit him on the neck. With the injection of a certain liquid, the toxins are neutralized, and the original numbness in the body immediately subsides.
Regaining strength in his limbs, Li Sheng immediately broke open the cocoon and stood firm.
At this time, the spider monster also bit Ye Jiaying and Yuan Zhixia on their necks, lifting their paralysis. Li Sheng helped cut the cocoons and regained their freedom.
“Keep your voice down and follow me.”
A voice came from the abdomen of the special spider monster again. It took steps and walked down the stairs.
The three of them looked at each other. They were trapped in a devil's cave and had no choice. They had no choice but to follow them slowly.
Going all the way down the employee passage, the first underground floor is the commercial street, the second underground floor is the underground ring road and parking lot, and the third and fourth underground floors are the municipal comprehensive pipe corridor layer, which is where gas, electricity, and water supply are buried. , communication and other pipelines.
The fifth underground floor is the subway equipment floor, and further down is the subway tunnel.
Li Sheng and Yuan Zhixia were right in their predictions. The spider monster tribe did use the city's subway system as a tool for hitchhiking.
The floor, ceiling, and even the train carriage are covered with spider webs. Fortunately, perhaps because the Black Spider was seriously injured, all the descendants ran to take care of it, and there were no spider monsters in the subway tunnel.
The scene was so bizarre that Li Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the Special Affairs Bureau discover such an obvious thing?!"
Yuan Zhixia raised his eyebrows and realized that this should be The name of the state agency that maintains public security.
The special spider monster in front paused and continued to lead the way. A clear voice came from its abdomen, "Because that big spider has the ability to [forget]."
" Forgetting?" Ye Jiaying looked confused, and Li Sheng immediately thought of the previous feeling of broken memory, and said hoarsely: "Agnosognosia?"
The so-called agnosia is caused by partial damage to the brain. acquired cognitive impairment.
When facing something, the patient can recognize it through other sensory channels, but only loses the ability to recognize familiar objects, self or visual space through a specific sensory channel and corresponding sense organs.
For example, in visual agnosia caused by damage to the occipital and temporal lobes, patients can clearly see the shape of an object and describe its characteristics, but the brain cannot "recognize" the object.
Describe the glove as "a container with five everted sides",
Describe the stethoscope as "a long rope with a disc at one end",
Describe the key , described as "a thin sheet of metal with defective grooves."
This is similar to Li Sheng's situation when his brain couldn't recognize the Mocai Spider.
The problem is that agnosia is caused by partial damage to the brain, but Li Sheng's head is still fine.
“I don’t know what agnosia is, but it shouldn’t be.”
The little spider monster led the three of them down the subway equipment floor to the subway tunnel floor and whispered softly Said: "The people and animals eaten by the big spider will be forgotten in reality. No one will remember them. Even if their blood or their backpacks fall to the ground, no one will notice."< br>
