Chapter 39: The Puppet Spider

Xiao Hanqian had long been accustomed to my whimsical and eccentric ideas, but the corners of Xue Qi's mouth twitched for a long time before he said: "Miss Shang is really a strange person, ordinary people hear this story either to feel human greed, or to pity the innocent villagers in the village, Miss Shang's focus is really peculiar." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

I replied rather unhappily, "I know you want to say that I have no sympathy!" Yes! I just don't! I don't have enough compassion to give to someone who has become history, and what is history? It's something for people to learn from. There is good and evil in human nature, which is why history repeats itself. Instead of feeling sad, it is better to understand what is really useful, so that you can play a role in the repetition of history and prevent the tragedy from happening again. For example, learn about the puppet spider that has appeared now! ”

After listening to my remarks, Saki clasped his fists and said, "Miss Shang's far-reaching vision and unique insights have made someone admire. I was ashamed to speculate on Miss's intentions just now! ”

As soon as he apologized, I was embarrassed, and I thought that this rogue boy was actually not bad. Scratching his head, he said, "Oops...... Don't be so polite, it makes me uncomfortable. ”

Xiao Hanqian opened his mouth and said, "Okay! Don't even stand outside, let's go into the living room and talk. Rong'er, don't you want to hear about the puppet spider? Stay too! I will send someone to inform your senior brother and sister to reassure them. "I really care about this, and of course I don't want to miss the opportunity, so I agreed. Xiao Hanqian called someone to whisper for a while, and then went into the living room with us.

In the living room, I ate snacks while listening to Sazaki talk about puppet spiders. There is a reason why puppet spiders don't directly control people, according to him, it is related to intelligence, the higher the intelligence, the more difficult it is to control, and the human intelligence is the highest in the world, and puppet spiders can't control it at all, so they can only attack humans by manipulating other animals.

Animals parasitized by puppet spiders have a characteristic, that is, the spider ribbon of puppet spiders is poisonous, and after a long time, the animal's body will be invaded by the poison and emit a rancid odor, and the eyes are blood-red and swollen, just like the crow I saw. After being parasitized by a puppet spider, once the host dies, the puppet spider will leave the original host to find the next target to parasitize. But in the end, insects are still insects, and it is also afraid of ordinary insects, but it is difficult to deal with puppet spiders with puppets.

Because the mother spider must use the human young brain as a nest, the number of female spiders in the Bounty Alliance has been drastically reduced, and it is almost extinct. But in regions and countries outside the Union, there are still people or organizations that nurture it. The world is too big, and human beings are at the middle and low end of the food chain, and they really can't compete with the natural world, and trying to eradicate a species is almost a dream. I asked him if the puppet spider would report back to his master after the crow's death, and I received a positive answer, which made me worried.

Sawasaki talked about the purpose of his visit, and he didn't even get out of touch with the puppet spider. Most of the robberies that have occurred in the city in the past few days have left animal hair, Xiao Hanqian asked Xue Qi to help identify what animal left it, this is not difficult for Xue Qi, he almost immediately determined that it is the hair of ordinary monkeys around Yuquan City. But when he smelled monkey hair, he felt a special smell, and he didn't care about it at the time, and when he got home, he accidentally remembered that it was the smell of a puppet spider that he had seen once a few years ago, so he felt that there was something wrong with this matter and came to tell Xiao Hanqi. I didn't expect to smell the smell of puppet spiders on me, and he thought that at this time, it was the time of the Beast Exorcist Competition, and there were countless rare and exotic beasts in the city, and the appearance of puppet spiders was definitely not a good thing. And he also suspects that the purpose of the theft is not simple, using the puppet spider is just to steal, so how stupid this person must be, there must be an unknown secret behind this case.

After listening to his words, Xiao Hanqian had a frosty look on his face, and his eyes were deep for a while, and he spoke after a while: "This matter is very important, please don't mention it to the public for the time being, so as not to cause panic!" ”

Sawasaki said: "Please rest assured of this! It's like somewhere where someone needs to serve, and Childe just needs to send someone to inform him. Sawasaki still has something to do at home and can't stay for a long time, so he leaves. ”

"So there is a son of Lao. Someone to see off the guests! Sawasaki got up to say goodbye and left with his attendants.

Seeing that he was far away, I hurriedly asked Xiao Hanqi: "You say...... Are they looking for the crescent pendant? But how did they target me? I was also tasked with going out after curfew at night, and I was practicing at home a few days ago, so why was I being followed when I went shopping yesterday afternoon? ”

Xiao Hanqian suddenly asked, "Have you seen the Duan Governor's Mansion?" ”

He asked suddenly, and I thought about it for a long time before I recalled: "I just came to Yuquan City for the second day, Xiaoxue took me out to play, and I saw Lord Duan's sedan chair from a distance on the street. That's right! It was when I found the crescent pendant in the things I bought that night, and I thought it was bought by Xiaoxue. ”

"Was anything special going on on the street at that time?"

"Particularly ......?"

"Or what happened or did Governor Duan do the same thing as you?"

"Hmm......" I held my arms and pondered for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration: "Ah! Come to think of it! There were a few people on the street chasing a little beggar-like boy, and the boy almost hit me, but Blaze pulled me along, but he still brushed me aside. When he ran away, he collided with Lord Duan's sedan chair again, but he reacted fast enough and ran without stopping, but the few chasing him were stopped by Lord Duan's men. …… Do you suspect that the crescent pendant was hidden from me by a little beggar? ”

"This is the most likely! Remember what they looked like? I shook my head, a little angry at why I didn't catch up to see the excitement at that time, then I would have more clues. Xiao Hanqian said: "It doesn't matter, as long as they are still in Yuquan City, they will definitely be able to find out, with me and your master here, don't worry about it." Come here! ”

I didn't know what he told me to do, but I walked over obediently. He untied a piece of jade from his waist, it was a piece of ink jade with a warm texture and heavy greasy. The side is carved with a cloud pattern, one side is engraved with a character in the middle, and the other side is a pattern of double dragons playing with pearls. He pulled me closer and hung the jade pendant around my waist, saying, "You have always ignored me, so naturally you don't have to take others seriously. From today onwards, you don't have to bow down to anyone except your master and my grandparents. And with this jade pendant, you can enter and leave the palace at will without having to report. Remember? ”

Usually my brain is very good, but as soon as I talked to Xiao Hanqian alone, I was confused, and after thinking for a long time, I said: "This seems to be very powerful, it's not suitable for me, right?" ”

He pinched the black jade he was carrying on my body and rubbed it back and forth in his hand, and said, "It's not like it's very powerful, it's really powerful!" If you let you take it, you will bring it, what I give you is what belongs to you, you only manage to bring it with you! And...... I wanted to give it to you a long time ago. As he spoke, his eyes grew confused again.

It turns out that this jade pendant was not given to me, hey...... Since I decided to be silent, let's pretend to be his sister for the time being, when I pretend to be tired and can't pretend anymore, I'll make it clear to him again. I scratched my head and hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Hmm." "Yes. Xiao Hanqian is really good to me, but has he ever liked me at all? Is it true that he will not fall in love with any woman, as he himself said? If I really don't fall in love with someone else, I still have a little hope, even if it's a sister, at least in his eyes, I'm still special, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to be a friend after I find out.

But...... It's also torturous now.,He's treating me as a sister.,Sometimes it's inappropriate to talk to me about some intimacy.,But I didn't treat him as a brother! This ambiguous relationship of being happy for a while and worrying for a while is really enough for me to drink a pot! Before, too, why did he always love to hold me? It's hard for him to always hug her sister like this? He can't have a sister complex, right? Wouldn't I be miserable! But being hugged doesn't prove anything, does it? He said that his sister was raised by him, so it should be like a daughter, saying that in my previous life, my father always hugged me and carried me on his back, and the two brothers were always angry about it! But when I think about it this way, I'm not even more playless, he treats me as his sister and then treats me as his daughter, if he knows that I like him, he can't think it's incest! Oh my god...... My future is in jeopardy!

My mind was spinning with a question on the left and a thought on the right, and there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. I don't have to argue, I can hear that it's Master! I ran to go out to meet Master, but Master stepped into the house first, and when he saw me, he grabbed me by the shoulders and looked me up and down, and asked with concern, "Rong'er, are you okay?" ”

I was stunned by the question, and replied, "It's okay, Master!" What can I do! ”

The master let out a sigh of relief and blamed: "This son doesn't speak clearly, he said that you were carried into the house by Han Yan, and Han Yan personally asked him to invite me to come to the palace quickly, Master still thinks something happened to you?" I'm so scared to death as a teacher! He turned his head and asked Xiao Hanqi: "What are you looking for me in such a hurry?" Don't tell me I came to pick up my apprentice! ”

Xiao Hanqian said: "I'm not as boring as you!" Rong'er, tell your master! ”

"Oh......" again! I knew that I had to say it twice, so it was better to wait for the master to come and say it together! I told the matter from beginning to end again, and also talked about Sakuzaki's thoughts just now and Xiao Hanqi's speculation later. Master's face was not very good after hearing this, and the fan kept beating his palm. I guess they must have something important to discuss next, and I would be ignorant to stay any longer, so I offered to go home. The master replied to his senses and said, "It's okay, go back and pack your luggage, and from today onwards, the four of us will all move to the palace." ”

"Huh? Why? "I wondered.
