Chapter 96 IF Line
Lins officially started his days of carrying spiders in the mountains.
Although this little guy is not very friendly to people.
It prefers to hang alone on the ceiling of a cave or hide in a tree hole.
"Again, when you go out to play, leave a spider silk thread at the entrance of the cave."
Lins finally dug out the spotted spider from a rotten tree hole. It changed its location every day and sometimes used dead leaves as cover.
"Seven legs can run quite fast."
Lins curled up his index finger and tapped it on the head.
Then he knocked open the other six red eyes.
"Wow, you have one more eye than legs."
【Hate. 】
Lins couldn't help but laugh when he heard Spider-Man's complaint.
Sometimes he found the little spider not by observing with his eyes, but by the sound in his mind.
Although it often curls up its legs and pretends to be a big rock, its spiritual sea is still quite active, and it pops out a few short words from time to time.
——But Spider-Man doesn't know this yet.
The connection between their spiritual seas is one-way most of the time. Lins can easily enter its spiritual sea, but the reverse is not so easy.
"Today we have grilled fish."
As Lins spoke, he piled up the dry branches he had picked up, then held the little spider in front of the pile of branches and picked up a stone and placed it at its feet.
"We're out of fire." Lins shrugged. "If you want grilled fish, you have to help."
[…I didn’t.] It didn’t want to eat grilled fish.
"Hurry up, little spider, there is no such thing as a free lunch." Lins urged.
After a while, the little spider moved its legs reluctantly.
Its hard legs scraped across the rocks, emitting tiny sparks.
"You're not aiming." Lins patted the spider's butt. "You need to shoot the spark into the weeds. They're kindling."
The spider's legs suddenly stopped, and then it hit the stone with a "clang".
This time the spark landed right in the middle of the dry grass and flames shot up.
"Very good, little Spider is awesome!" Lins praised without hesitation.
Then he found that the spotted spider had unconsciously turned twice in place.
Do you spin around when you're praised?
Lins is so cute again!
He cleared his throat slightly.
"Alas, I wonder if this firewood is enough," he shrugged. "Who knows if I can even cook these two fish?"
He went to the stream and started to cut the fish. When he came back, he found that there were many more branches next to the fire.
No way, no way, it turns out that a few words of praise are so effective?
"Did you pick up the firewood, little guy?"
Lins held the little spider squatting there like a stone in his arms and touched its hard legs.
Then he felt its four limbs, no, all seven limbs stiffen.
It was as if seven branches had replaced the original legs, and it didn't move at all.
【……no. 】
"Ah? It's not you? Then who could it be? Could there be other diligent little spiders?" Lins's voice was exaggerated, and anyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.
【Nothing else.】
But Ashley, this little spider, doesn't seem to have a very high IQ.
Lins was estimated to be about six or seven years old. His vocabulary was very limited and his sentences usually did not exceed five words.
"You're so cute."
Lins hugged it tighter and kissed its big butt.
The wound on its abdomen had long since healed, and if you didn't touch it carefully, you wouldn't be able to feel any unevenness. The brightly colored lines on its back looked like blooming flowers, extremely beautiful.
"Who is the most beautiful spider in the world?"
"You are the most beautiful spider in the world!"
【……】
Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, but Lins felt that the little guy in his arms was a little too warm.
It's strange, the body temperature of the spotted spider is always very low.
Oh, maybe it's because the fire was too close.
Seeing that the grilled fish had begun to become tender, Lins reluctantly put down the little guy in his arms and began to place the grilled fish on the broad leaves.
I also missed the spotted spider that was spinning madly in circles, almost trying to carve a hole with its legs.
In the next few days, when Lins was fishing, he found that the spotted spider would follow him stealthily.
I even went into the water twice.
Like a huge crab.
Lins didn't quite understand what it was trying to do.
Until that day, he came to the stream again.
It was already dark by then.
Lins could hear the sound of rushing water as he approached the stream, but there were many animals in this generation, and many of the little ones liked to replenish their water under the cover of night.
Through the cover of the trees, he saw a dark creature crawling out of the water.
It looks like two round balls put together, with a big head and butt, but a thin waist.
However, after Lins got used to the brightness, he found that they were not two circles at all!
But Ashley!
It was dragging something towards the shore.
The little spider finally climbed ashore, but it did not stop immediately. Instead, it dragged the thing and crawled a long way until it crawled into the woods.
Lins stretched out his spider silk and swung silently across the tree - the legs of the spotted spider were particularly agile. Although he was a sentinel with very light footsteps, he couldn't guarantee that the spotted spider crawling on the ground couldn't hear the sound.
He hid in the tree and watched the little spider carefully.
Then he finally saw clearly the package it was dragging behind it - it was a few fat fish wrapped in spider webs!
They were swinging frantically in the spider web, but the spider silk was very flexible and there was no sign of breakage.
After becoming smaller, Ashley's strength and combat power decreased a lot, and the strength of the spider silk also decreased.
But it was obviously not something that could be broken free by just a few fish.
Lins watched Ashley dragging a fish bigger than himself through the forest. It only had seven legs, which obviously caused a lot of inconvenience.
For some higher bumps, it takes some effort and even has to change direction to climb over them.
Finally, Ashley dragged the net bag of fish to the cave where they lived. It seemed that it noticed that Lins was not there, and it turned around in a circle before putting the fish down.
Then it started looking for branches again.
Lins suddenly had an idea.
He had been eating fish for several days in a row and his mouth was fed up with the taste.
Although he ate such saltless and tasteless food when he was a sentinel, his five senses were weakened after he came to the Zerg world - this meant that he could eat more stimulating food!
So he simply stopped eating fish and ate fruit for two days instead.
Foods that are more sour than sweet can make your mouth water when you eat them occasionally.
And the weather has been very hot recently, so he goes to the stream to wash more frequently.
But that stupid little spider seemed to have misunderstood something.
——It thought he couldn't catch any fish, so he always came back empty-handed when he went to the stream.
Lins felt that the sour plum he had eaten that night was finally taking effect, making his heart sore and soft. Not only was it sour and soft, but it was also bubbling with small bubbles.
so cute! ! !
Lins deliberately stepped to make a sound, and the sharp little spider really turned in his direction.
"Wow, where did all these fish come from?" Lins asked. He squatted down and happily untied the bag of spider webs. "Four in total!"
The freed fish struggled to swing their tails, and were then all strung up by Lins.
"Ashley, did you catch this?"
【Um. 】
Ashley's voice that appeared in Lins' mind was very flat, but Lins suddenly smelled an exceptionally sweet berry scent.
The aroma of the berries, wrapped in [pleasure] and [joy], entered Lins's spiritual sea, and he suddenly realized that it was the pheromone of female insects that Ome had always emphasized.
"You're such an amazing little spider!" Lins praised. "How did you come up with the idea of using a web to catch it?"
【…Because the legs couldn't hit the target.】
The berry flavor suddenly turned bitter.
Having lost one of its legs, the spider wasn't very agile, especially in unfamiliar water. Furthermore, it wasn't very big, so its legs were really short for it.
Lins heard what it was thinking and couldn't help but feel more pity for it.
He picked up the still wet little guy.
"You're the smartest little spider in the world!"
The attacked little guy nervously curled up his remaining legs.
He likes me...
"I like you the most." Lins smiled.
He had never seen such a cute little guy.
That night, Lins did not let the little guy leave his arms.
He held it tightly the whole time.
He even holds it in his arms when he sleeps.
The little spider seemed to be so shy that it crashed.
From time to time, some garbled characters that Lins couldn't understand would pop up in its spiritual sea.
Only the sweet aroma of berries surrounded him deeply until he fell asleep.
When Lins woke up the next day, he felt very heavy.
The little spider grew a lot bigger overnight.
--wrong.
Lins suddenly opened his eyes and met a pair of scarlet and narrow eyes.
"?"
Lins slowly clicked a question mark.
Who is this half-naked man who appears on his bed?
The man who suddenly appeared was shirtless, with a pair of scarlet eyes and three red marks on each cheek that slanted upwards, like a cat's whiskers.
Lins looked down and saw that below the man's waist and abdomen were not human legs, but a spider abdomen, and then seven hard and strong legs.
"Spider?"
The half-naked man looked at him silently.
Lins also returned the silent gaze.
He thought... with Spider-Man's limited vocabulary and precarious IQ, Ashley should be the image of a seven or eight-year-old child.
——But he was definitely a strong young man.
Finally, it was Lins who broke the silence.
"Two hands, plus seven legs. It seems you have an extra one now."
“…”
The half-naked man still didn't speak.
"But what are those red marks on your face?" Lins raised an eyebrow, then sat up straight in surprise. "Are they the other six eyes?!"
"Can they all see? Or do they just supplement the light-sensing function?" he asked. "What's your perspective? Why are they arranged vertically? Wouldn't horizontal orientation be better?"
Ashley still looked at him in silence.
He had heard these words when he used the Eye of Prophecy to see some trivial and confusing fragments.
This sentence should have appeared in the year he returned to school.
But he waited for a long time and the young man did not show up.
No insect dared to knock on his door.
So he knew that it was another matter in another timeline.
——That kind of luck will not come to him.
——He is the disaster itself.
—He will perish, just like millions of others.
He had seen many meaningless images, and these images appeared more frequently after his spiritual sea went completely berserk.
But his favorite protagonist is the young man in front of him with small canine teeth and a dimple on his cheek.
Sometimes, when the pain was too severe, he would deliberately open his remaining six eyes - although this action would make him go even more crazy - but with a very small probability, he would see this young man.
He had glimpsed many of 'his' happiness.
This made him feel more pain and more envious.
They are both 'him', but have completely different endings.
This young man would invite him to lie on the Internet and watch the stars together on a deserted summer night.
She would openly steal his spider silk, roll it into a very strong ball of fur, and then hang it behind her ears.
She would suddenly come closer and reach out to touch the red marks on his face. He never showed any disgust or aversion, but was full of curiosity instead.
"Your remaining six eyes have no eyelashes!"
"Your remaining six eyes have no eyelashes!"
The voices in memories overlap with those in reality.
Ashley's eyes fell on Lins, and Lins's hand had already touched her without any hesitation.
"They're so flat, you can't even feel like there are eyes inside them."
【Want to see it?】
Lins found that the young man in front of him did not move his lips, but communicated with him directly through his spiritual sea.
"Look!" Lins nodded repeatedly.
The next moment, the six red marks began to tremble.
They cracked from top to bottom, revealing the scarlet eyes within.
"Wow!" Lins suddenly became excited. He put his hands on Ashley's cheeks. He leaned so close that the tip of his nose almost touched Ashley's face.
Lins felt the skin beneath his hands begin to heat up, and he pulled away a little to look at Ashley.
However, her dark skin effectively concealed the blush on Ashley's face.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Lins asked, "Has this sudden change affected your body?"
Ashley shook her head slightly.
He just felt dizzy.
The moment Lins got closer, he smelled the spicy aroma of lemon and pink pepper.
He knew it was Lins's pheromone.
It took every ounce of strength Ashley had to keep from sniffing his neck.
[Good fragrance]
[Good fragrance]
【Want to bite him】
However, his spiritual sea had completely exposed his thoughts.
Lins raised his eyebrows: "Are you going to eat me, Mr. Spider?"
"No--"
Ashley uttered a muffled syllable.
Lins chuckled, then reached out and touched Ashley's hair.
"It's not easy to eat me." He smiled, showing his sharp teeth. "But honestly, you smell pretty good too."
"Sometimes I really want to bite you hard--"
“!”
The berries were ruthlessly crushed and could only helplessly break through their cell walls, releasing all their aroma and juice.
The sweet smell made Lins very greedy.
Lins laughed and jumped off the spider web.
"Since you have transformed, then-"
"don't want!"
"What?"
The spider, which stood three meters tall, followed Lins closely, looking at him with its scarlet eyes, but with a pleading look in its eyes.
[Don't chase me away——]
【No! 】
"No, I'm not sending you away."
Lins looked up at him.
The leg that was cut off at the root looked so pitiful.
Those beautiful red eyes are so beautiful.
This little spider, no, big spider, is so cute.
Why would Lins drive him away?
"I mean, we can clean up here," Lins explained. "You'll attract too much attention if you go out like this."
"We have to wait until you've fully recovered your human form before we can go out into the world," he added. "Your walking leg needs to be treated by a doctor. If the doctor can't fix it, we can find a mecha technician—if you trust me, I can make you a metal prosthesis."
"But it looks like it will take some time for you to return to your full human form."
"So before that, we'd better modify this cave, at least clear out the fallen leaves and rubble, and dig it deeper." Yes, lazy Lins hadn't cleaned up this place before. After all, he could sleep on the suspended spider web.
"Then weave a bigger web."
The bed he had originally planned was clearly not enough.
Half-man, half-spider Ashley is much bigger than a steering wheel.
"Then I'll get a pot and a light and something—this place is just outrageous."
"Do I make myself clear, Ashley?"
Lins spoke for a long time, then looked at Ashley quietly.
【knew. 】
Ashley pursed her lips, looking a little bewildered.
"Speak out."
"Your vocabulary is so limited. I thought you were a child, you know?"
"We will have a lot of time to communicate in the future. You can't just remain silent all the time."
Lins shrugged. In this deep forest, Ashley was the only intelligent guy. If he remained such a dull person, Lins was really afraid that he would be suffocated to death.
【good. 】
Lins looked at him speechlessly, then tapped his lips again, prompting Ashley to speak.
Ashley froze, and he suddenly remembered a clip he had seen before.
Lins in the picture also nodded his lips, and then 'he' kissed her obediently.
— “Ashley, what is the mouth for?”
--"kiss."
Ashley felt hot all over, he knew what this action meant.
He also wanted to answer this question correctly.
He also wanted to be rewarded.
——He was too eager.
So, Ashley quickly moved closer to Lins, then leaned over and gently pressed his dry lips against hers.
Lins' lips were very soft.
Very.
It smells great too.
Ashley felt weak all over, as if he would fall forward at any moment - losing one of his legs had a really big impact on him.
Even though he had suffered worse injuries in the lab, this wasn't the first time he'd lost a leg.
But Ashley felt fear for the first time.
Extreme fear.
——He was about to fall into a trap.
——The sweetest, softest, and most dangerous trap.
——He will be doomed.
