In front of Annan's eyes was a huge, translucent spider.

Its chelicerae are at their highest, nearly twenty meters above the ground, and are four stories tall. Black Widow who looks like a jasper color - not the name of a god, but the name of a spider.

The inside of the spider's chelicera, as well as in the abdomen, are filled with a translucent, cloudy fluid. There are about 70 V-shaped marks on the abdomen. It looks like a dense scar, exuding an ominous black aura.

Annan could recognize it...... It was the light imprint of the god of poison and spiders, Black Widow.

Its six eyes were staring coldly at Annan.

From the spider's eyes, Annan was extremely clear, feeling the cold gaze from human beings, full of emotion.

The reason why there are six...... Because one of the pairs is closed.

Where's the last couple?

The answer is self-evident.

"First meeting."

Annan looked up and smiled fearlessly.

"Shall I call you Grover...... Or Deward? ”

[You can call me Grover]

The sound of rustling sounded all around, and the vague composition of the words was not so clear.

Annan looked back.

Behind him stood the "Messenger Grover", who had turned into white bones.

No, it wasn't dry bones—it was a puppet made of white silk threads. The only thing that can move and the only thing that moves all over its body is the pair of black hole spider eyes.

"I've heard of a viper with a tail like a crawling spider. When the birds swoop down and want a good meal...... The viper will eject and inject venom into the enemy's body. ”

And when it comes to the technology of "weaving webs", snakes naturally cannot be compared with spiders.

Annan looked at the giant spider again, his right hand holding the gun hanging down and his left hand in his pocket.

Gazed at by the giant spider, he was not afraid in the slightest.

"There's no doubt that 'Grover' ......"

Annan held out his left hand towards the spider.

Then the right hand: "...... That's it, 'Deward'. ”

He smiled and folded his hands to his chest as if he were hugging a giant spider.

"Do you want me to go on?"

Annan asked, "Do you still want to hear it, Mr. Grover?" ”

[Please continue]

Huge spiders squirmed, six whiskered limbs trembling in their webs.

Small fluctuations are conveyed and become waves.

The narrow foothold beneath Annan trembled pitifully.

That's a very dangerous situation.

If you look down, you can see the abyss.

But Annan was not the least afraid.

Instead, he looked at the giant spider with pity, compassion.

"So, Mr. Grover...... At least I have a little respect for your piety.

"Let me go on—

"'Deward' didn't exist in the first place."

Annan replied calmly.

If the three players, or Niusel and Nefertari, heard this answer, they would have been stunned.

But judging from the current situation, I am afraid that this is exactly the reality.

"Dward is a believer in Black Widow - who said that? By the way, it's you, Mr. Messenger, who is one step late. Even if the 'Dward' is determined by ritual, it is impossible to locate it, only to determine that the other person is dead...... Then that's the end of the matter.

"Because in this world, the 'name' itself is the simplest contract. In order to perform a remote ritual, the name of the target must be known. ”

When Paper Ji chatted with Captain Alexander and Annan, he once mentioned the characteristics of the "Black Widow" believers.

- Black Widow is the god of poison.

He was one of the very few gods who demanded a living sacrifice.

Instead of sacrificing the victim to Himself in a ritual, it is enough to sacrifice a "part" with that poison after killing someone with a specific poison. Such as liver, hair, nails, etc.

And in an area, there will only be one Black Widow believer.

Alien spider worshippers who break into the web will only be poisoned by the local Black Widow cultists first.

Other words......

"The believers of the Black Widow simply can't cooperate in killing people."

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Mr. Grover." You made up lies and created the illusion that Dward existed...... He also sent the 'Job' who did not go to the mill into the mill and killed. I'm afraid it's just to close the hole of 'Deward'.

"But if you can replace Dward with Job's corpse...... I'm curious, what has become of them?

"And ...... Is Dward's real person? ”

[Naturally, they were all crushed]

The spider squirmed as if it were laughing.

[Dward is the one I killed before, of course he existed]

I see...... Is it a real person who has been killed before?

So even if you are investigated by a high-end ritual, you won't get a prompt like "the number you dialed is empty".

But......

Annan raised his eyebrows, raised his head and questioned in a deep voice, "Then they were broken by Alice...... Or was it broken by your own hands? ”

The owner of this nightmare should be Alice's mother. But its core is clearly Alice as a daughter. According to Grover's description, the final killer of the lumberjacks was swelling flesh and blood that had been ground into mud.

That was supposed to be the moment when the nightmare was born.

Since Grover can be a witness to explain the matter to others.

It shows that he is not suspected.

The Courier must have the best alibi - such as when he was not in the Spore Mill at the time of the incident.

But if after the nightmare is born...... That is, after the ritual is completed, Job dies. Why could he use it to impersonate Dward?

Listening to Grover, it seems like they've all turned into meat puree.

Why is that?

And when did Job die?

“…… No. ”

Annan's face changed.

He had already guessed.

Looking at Annan's expression, the spider gradually slid from the web to approach.

It approached Annan and laughed unscrupulously.

What else do you want to know? can tell you]

[Spore Mill is indeed Alice at its core]

[They did die from Alice's nightmare]

[But who has stipulated-]

The spider gradually approached Annan.

Its two chelicerae pressed like pincers against Annan's only foothold.

The earth gradually oozed a dark green light.

[——The soul of a living person cannot be used to create nightmares?] 】

…… Yes.

Alice is the real victim.

She's not dead at all!

Therefore, in this nightmare, the power of [Cobweb] and [Dream] will be pitted against each other.

The cobwebs are undoubtedly the result of Grover and Black Widow's interference.

And [Fantasy] is the characteristic that Alice herself holds!
