"The weather is so strange, there's too much lightning …" Emily muttered softly as she stood in front of a telescope on the third floor of the villa, her forehead still covered in sweat. She stood in front of a telescope on the third floor of the villa and looked at the weather outside.
The rumbling of thunder reverberated throughout the entire Paris …
Paris had a temperate oceanic climate, and it was rainy all year round. However, the weather in Paris today was a little abnormal. Half an hour ago, the sky was still clear, but in the blink of an eye, the sky was covered in dark clouds. Bolts of lightning were like silver snakes, darting through the clouds. Violent torrential rain poured down, enveloping the entire Paris in a misty rain.
There was too much lightning.
The entire Paris seemed to have become a thunderstorm zone. Emily saw the top of the tall iron tower in the distance being struck by lightning from time to time. Sparks flew everywhere, and the entire iron tower seemed to have become a huge lightning rod, attracting all the lightning. Lightning struck the iron tower from time to time, and bolts of lightning danced wildly on the roof of the church not far away, illuminating the sky and earth in a ghastly white.
Some lightning struck the Seine River, and even the water in the Seine was boiling.
Although the sound of the thunder reverberated through the bulletproof glass of the windows, it was still quite loud when it reached the house.
Lightning in Paris was mostly in the summer, and the highest frequency was in April, May, and May. It was already September now, and Paris rarely encountered such violent lightning at this time of the year.
The continuous lightning seemed to be indicating something, but Emily wasn't sure. She only felt her heart palpitate a little.
"Squeak …" The sound of the door opening came from behind her. Emily turned around and saw Xia Pingan walk in.
"Teacher …" Emily called out. Her gaze lingered on Xia Pingan's face for a moment, and she was slightly surprised. Emily felt that her teacher seemed to be a little different from usual today, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different. It was just that a woman's sixth sense was particularly strong.
Xia Pingan woke up a little late today, about two or three hours later than usual. After Emily finished her breakfast, she went to the training room on the third floor to begin her training. She didn't expect the situation to suddenly change, so she went to the window and looked through the telescope for a while before resting.
The training room used to be Emily's dance studio and physical training area. There were also some tools and equipment inside, so she could train there.
After half a month of training and the effects of the Body Strengthening Pills, the current Emily had been reborn. If she were to fight, five or six ordinary men would not be her match.
Emily also knew that the Body Strengthening Pill that Xia Pingan gave her must be very precious. She had never heard of something that could change an ordinary person's physique. Because of this, Emily respected Xia Pingan even more.
"All powerful Summoners have a common trait, and that is self-control. You are very good!" Seeing Emily's sweat-drenched hair and half-wet vest, Xia Pingan smiled as he praised Emily.
"Teacher, wait a moment, I'll make breakfast for you!" Emily immediately said. Cooking for Xia Pingan had already become her habit. Moreover, Xia Pingan's appetite was astonishing. He had extremely high requirements for three meals a day.
"No need, I'm not very hungry this morning!"
"The weather in Paris today is very strange. There's actually a thunderstorm …" Emily said as she looked out the window again. She realized that in the blink of an eye, the dark clouds in the sky outside had actually slowly dissipated, and the thunderstorm had also stopped. It was really strange.
"Mm, this is for you …" Xia Pingan extended his hand. In his hand was a golden spider that was about two-thirds the size of a palm. The golden spider was very lifelike. Its legs were completely spread out, and its metal back was inlaid with a circle of small sparkling diamonds. It looked like an exquisite hairpin.
"Ah, Teacher, is this a spider-shaped wristband?" Emily happily took the metal spider. She didn't expect Xia Pingan to give her such a beautiful accessory.
"This isn't a wristband. Drip a drop of your blood on the spider's back and you'll know!"
Emily already had unconditional trust in Xia Pingan. When she heard Xia Pingan's words, Emily didn't think too much about it. She saw that the spider's pair of forelimbs were a little sharp, so she used the spider's forelimbs to prick her finger and dripped a drop of blood on the spider's back.
As soon as the blood dripped, the spider's body made a few slight cracking sounds. Then, it moved. In the blink of an eye, it became a living spider. It crawled along Emily's hand, forearm, arm, all the way to Emily's shoulder.
"It … It can actually move …" Emily exclaimed with a look of disbelief. "Teacher … This … Is this a robotic spider?"
"This isn't a robotic spider, but it's similar to one. As a summoner, I call it a puppet spider. If you encounter any danger when I'm not by your side, it can protect you!"
"Protect me?" Emily blinked in disbelief. "How can this little thing protect me?"
"You can try. Give it a command in your heart and let it attack something …"
Emily's gaze circled around the room. Her eyes immediately fixed on a five-kilogram dumbbell placed on a gym rack next to her. She gave the command in her heart to attack.
Once the command was given, the puppet spider bounced up from her shoulder instantly. Its speed was incomparably fast, and it landed beside the five-kilogram dumbbell. With a faint flash, the puppet spider bounced back and landed on Emily's shoulder. The metal rod in the middle of the five-kilogram dumbbell had already been broken into two halves, as if it had been cut by a sharp weapon.
Emily was dumbfounded. If such a terrifying weapon landed on a person's vital parts, such as the head or throat, wouldn't it be a one-hit kill?
Xia Pingan gently pointed at the puppet spider, and it crawled to Emily's left wrist. Its legs closed together, and with a click, it stopped moving. It looked like a spider-shaped metal bracelet.
"Unless it's necessary, don't let others know that you have such a thing on you. Most summoners don't have such a thing. If others know that you have such a thing on you, it will arouse jealousy and may even bring disaster!" Xia Pingan warned seriously.
Xia Pingan did not know if there were any summoners on Earth who had mastered the Mechanism Technique. In any case, none of the summoners from the Committee of Order that he had interacted with before had mastered this ability. This simple spider puppet was nothing among the summoners in the Yuanqiu world, but on Earth, it was definitely a rare item. It might even be the only one. In order to disguise this thing as a bracelet, he had deliberately embedded a diamond in it. For a summoner who had mastered the Mechanism Technique, embedding a diamond was too shameful.
Emily nodded. The longer she spent with Xia Pingan, the more she realized that her painting teacher was different from ordinary summoners. The value of the spider puppet in her hand was beyond her imagination. If such a thing could be sold, Emily felt that there would be people who would want it even if it was 100 million euros. Perhaps 100 million euros was too cheap …
"Teacher, can this thing pass the security check?" Emily looked at the spider bracelet on her hand. This bracelet did not move at all. It was impossible to imagine that it had done such a shocking thing just now.
"Yes, if it passes the security check, this thing will be a piece of jewelry. You can take it off and make it stay still …"
"Teacher, why did you think of giving me this thing?"
Xia Pingan rubbed his face. "I have to go into seclusion for a period of time. When I'm in seclusion, I won't be able to take care of you. I'll be more at ease if you have this thing on you. Don't relax during this period. When I come out of seclusion, I'll find time to guide you in fusing with the realm bead …"
…
Now that he had mastered the secret doppelganger technique, he had left the Godslaying Bug World for a period of time. It was about time for him to return to the Godslaying Bug World. After all, that was his foundation.
Xia Pingan's place of seclusion was the underground shelter in Emily's villa.
He placed the refined tortoiseshell Five Elements Inverted Eight Trigrams Sword Formation disk and two spider puppets in the underground shelter in Emily's house. He also told Emily how to contact him in an emergency. Then, after setting up the Soul Power Protection Boundary, Xia Pingan's doppelganger entered the Embryonic Breathing Realm. His spiritual body instantly left the doppelganger.
…
A few seconds later, in the conch shell dojo in the Undead Sea, Xia Pingan, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes …
