Chapter 170: Uncovered
As if to confirm Cheese's words, before the mage's words could fall, a dying Otlanta spider struggled out of the cellar. It was obvious that this spider was much larger than the one that had attacked the cheese house before. But even so, the giant spider's shell cracked from the intense heat, and dark green juice and melted muscle tissue flowed down the cracks in the carapace, leaving the steps leading to the cellar covered with disgusting slime.
The spider struggled to climb the steps, but it finally used the last of its strength, and a foul smell began to spread from its corpse with the sound of its massive body slamming to the ground. Cheese covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, not that the smell was poisonous, but the smell of the Aotranta spider after roasting really challenged the limits of human olfaction.
The rest of the room was less prescient than the mage, and as the terrible stench filled the house, everyone including Lothar began to vomit uncontrollably, except for the second of three children. The girl's eyes were full of anger and fear when she looked at Cheese, as if the spider Cheese had killed was some kind of pet she had kept for a long time.
"So," Cheese said, looking at the other man, his voice a little funny from the sleeve that covered his face, "you haven't answered my question yet, Miss with the human skin mask." What's your choice?"
"You will pay for what you have done. The girl gritted her teeth and said to Cheese in a deep voice, the expression on her face was hideous. This expression appeared on the face of such a young child, so that those who saw it couldn't help but have a creepy feeling.
But Cheese was not frightened by the other party's expression, in fact, looking at the other party's angry appearance, the mage's heart even had some happiness. Although he knew that the other party was probably just a hired mercenary, and that he might not actually be involved in killing the shadow, Cheese still used the paranoid method of burning all her spiders to force the opponent out. It has to be said that the thrill of revenge is indeed something more addictive than any fine wine.
"I don't think that's what you're supposed to tell me. On the contrary, blindly participating in the camp against a gray robe should think about what price you have to pay. Trust me, if I wanted to, you'll soon think that dying a few spiders is no big deal. The mage said.
"After all, it's nothing compared to the pain I can inflict on you. ”
Although Cheese didn't bring any magic when he said this, his momentum at this time was enough to make the other party breathe. Shadow's death had changed something about the mage, and Cheese would never tease his enemies with such a playful tone, which was the most annoying inefficiency of Cheese. Moreover, this practice has always been a hobby of cursed crows.
He took a few steps forward, leaving the hostess and the other two children who were still in shock. The spider tamer adjusted her breathing, and the mage's tone just now gave her a feeling that the words of the gray-robed man standing in front of her were definitely not joking. For the sake of this mercenary business, she really didn't have to lose her life. Spiders can be recultivated, but if they die here, it will be too worthless.
"I'm sorry for my gaffes, sir. Now that I've lost so badly, please give me a chance to get out alive...... You know, I'm just employed. I'm willing to tell you everything I know. The disguise was torn down, and the spiders around him were swept away, and the spider tamer knew that he now had to satisfy Cheese to get out of the room alive.
"Oh, yes. Why don't you explain how you got this human skin on you? This high-quality human skin mask and gloves must be made of fresh human skin, and I wonder what happened to the original owner of this face. In fact, when he turned on the magic vision, Cheese realized that the reason why this spider tamer was able to avoid his own inspection was because she was covered with a layer of human skin camouflage, and there were many ways to make this evil prop, but no matter which one, the process was never pleasant.
"You say I have this disguise?" the spider tamer paused slightly, she didn't expect Cheese to ask about the death of an unrelated little girl. However, caring about the death of innocent people proves that the gray-robed man is not a murderer, which is not a good thing, "This girl has a very serious lung disease, and her family threw her out of the city to die. As I passed by, she begged me to settle her pain quickly. ”
"And then, after helping her, you came up with a plan to disguise yourself as her, though a miraculous recovery would cause quite a stir among those she knew. But for this city, the life or death of a little girl is not a big deal, is it?" Cheese continued the other man's words, and made up for what the spider tamer had done.
And the truth is indeed as the master said, the miraculous recovery of the daughter made the self-blaming couple ecstatic, no one can really be cold-blooded enough to ignore the life and death of their children. They had no idea that under their daughter's face, it was a different person altogether who had been with them for the past few days. At this time, hearing the words of his "daughter", the male and female owners of the house even forgot to vomit in extreme shock.
"Yes. "Now that the camouflage has been seen through, there is no point in continuing. As the mask was torn off her face, a completely different face appeared on the girl's face. However, to Cheese's surprise, the body of this spider tamer turned out to be a young girl.
On the other hand, although they were already in shock, the rest of the room was still in great fear when they saw their "family members" peeling off their faces. As a last resort, Lothar could only quickly knock these people unconscious to prevent them from doing something crazy.
"After I left, they would only think of the events of the past few days as hallucinations caused by excessive longing for their daughter. Silently watching the "family" who had been with each other for a few days fall, the spider tamer girl said.
But this delusion only adds to their guilt. Cheese said.
"That's not something I'm going to think about. In the final analysis, it is their fault who abandoned their families. It's also a matter of course to feel guilty about this. The spider tamer said with a frown.
"Maybe. Raising an eyebrow, the mage didn't intend to discuss this topic with the other party.
So, let's talk about your employer. ”
