"What are you looking at?" The thick foot that was carved with human faces stabbed at Chen Ge. It stopped right before his eyes. The boy seemed to hate being stared at like that.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure." Chen Ge pulled his gaze away from the spot where the boy's stomach was connected to the spider's body.
If the 'door' to White Dragon Cave Tunnel was really inside the boy's body, he would definitely not tell Chen Ge. If that was the case, there was no point in dwelling on it. Therefore, Chen Ge decisively ended the topic. "If you don't want to tell me, I'll ask you something else."
Chen Ge turned serious. "This is my last question, and it concerns all of our safety, so I hope you won't hide anything from me on this question."
"Go ahead." The boy pulled back his scary front foot.
"Over the past few nights, have you seen a shadow enter White Dragon Cave Tunnel?"
The mention of the shadow caused the boy's expression to shift. "You're here because of him?"
"Looks like you know something." Chen Ge was excited. He had finally found someone who knew more about shadows.
The temperature in the tunnel dropped, and the howling wind rushed out from the deeper part of the tunnel. Neither the boy nor the woman said anything.
They were silent for a long time. In the end, the boy jumped down from the wall. He used his legs to support his body, and he looked down at Chen Ge.
The monster was very large, and its posture gave Chen Ge a strong sense of pressure.
"Go back. The more you know, the deeper you'll sink into fear." When the boy said that, his voice shook slightly.
"Are you afraid?"
"No!" The boy suddenly became agitated. He raised his foot to sweep at Chen Ge's chest.
With his arms before his chest, countless human faces rushed out from the foot, but they stopped at the last moment.
"We have a common enemy. I can help you, from any angle." Chen Ge looked at the approaching footsteps and slowly lowered his arm. If the boy wanted to hurt him, he would have been sent flying just now.
After a long time, the boy slowly lowered his body until he was level with Chen Ge. "The man is a madman. This is not his first time coming to White Dragon Cave Tunnel."
"He came here before? Was it several years ago? " Chen Ge recalled the strange scene he had seen in the White Dragon Cave Tunnel. His young self had been killed by someone.
"Do you know why my mother and I have been hiding in the tunnel and never stepped out of this place?" Anxiety flashed across the boy's eyes.
"Could it be because of the shadow? Did he want to hurt you? "
"Who knows? That guy comes here once a year, and he gets stronger each time. I can only use my own ability to stop him. " The boy did not sense any threat from Chen Ge, but the shadow of the man before him made him very uncomfortable. "I hate shadows."
"I've seen the shadow a few times recently. In just one week, he has grown stronger again. I really have no idea how he did it."
Perhaps the information that Chen Ge had revealed made the boy anxious. After communicating with his mother through their eyes, the boy told Chen Ge, "I can tell you everything that I know, but you have to promise me one thing."
"No problem." Chen Ge did not even ask what it was and agreed to it easily. The boy was not used to his straightforwardness.
"I want you to tie this spider thread around your neck." The footsteps under the boy's body spread out, and a thin crack appeared where the boy's body and the spider's body were connected.
A thick stench of blood drifted out from the crack, and blood dripped down his body. As the crack widened, the boy's expression turned scary.
He reached his hand into the crack, and it looked like a person reaching into their own stomach.
"Tell me, what is your choice?" The boy's hand slowly reached out and pulled out several blood red spider threads from the crack. They stuck together, and with the boy's pull, they slowly turned into a thin red rope.
Looking at the blood that was still dripping, there was no fear in Chen Ge's eyes. His answer was still the same. "No problem."
Taking a step forward to stand before the boy, Chen Ge's movement was clean and direct.
His decisiveness aroused the boy's suspicion. He studied Chen Ge seriously, and he felt like this seemingly kind person before him was probably a demon filled with the desire to destroy himself.
Getting close to the boy, Chen Ge finally had the chance to observe the crack on the boy's body up close.
Blood, spider threads that looked like blood vessels, and the suffocating stench of blood — all these characteristics matched the 'blood door'.
Accepting the spider threads with both hands, Chen Ge smiled at the boy. He was calling Zhang Ya's name internally. He wanted Zhang Ya to see whether the spider threads would harm his life or not, but unfortunately, Zhang Ya did not give him any response.
The spider silk slowly approached his neck. Chen Ge stopped hesitating. Just as he was about to pull the spider silk around his neck, the woman from the tunnel stepped forward and pushed the spider silk aside.
Perhaps Chen Ge had left a good impression on the woman the last time he entered the tunnel, so this time, she had come to his aid.
"Are you really not afraid at all?" A trace of confusion appeared in the boy's resentful eyes. He turned around. "Come with me. I know many things about the shadow. Perhaps we can work together this once."
Initially, Chen Ge did not understand why the boy would change his mind. He followed the boy and continued to move forward. Suddenly, something brushed past his hair. When he lifted his head to look, Chen Ge's eyelids twitched.
At the center of the tunnel, on the dark ceiling, there were 'dead bodies' hanging from the ceiling.
Their necks were entwined by spider threads, and their legs dangled from the ceiling.
"If you're entangled by the spider threads, the only thing that awaits you is death. I don't know why my mother would stop me, but she respects her choice. " The boy's heart was twisted by anger and hatred. The only person he cared about in this world was his mother.
The boy climbed up the wall. This' forest of dead bodies' was his usual resting place. "I've seen the shadow a long time ago. At the time, he wasn't this strong. He was just a child slightly older than me.
"I don't know where he came from, and I don't know how he appeared. I only know that he has been searching for different kinds of children, and it appears like he wants to feed these children to something called the ghost fetus.
"He told me that he needed to build a door in Li Wan City. Initially, I didn't understand what he meant by a door, but later, I realized that the door he was talking about was this thing." The boy moved his body, and blood leaked out. A hole opened up between his upper body and the giant spider's body, and a large part of his body had caved in. "I have a deformed door, and this door is stuck inside my body. When I was burned by the fire, I slowly pushed it open."
