Luke waited patiently, and didn't push the door open until Mike said that he could come in.
Mike looked at him in surprise. "What … What are you doing here?"
Luke said with a smile, "Can I sit down?" He pointed at a stool in the room.
Mike nodded.
Luke sat down and smiled at Mike, who was a little nervous. "I have a sister who's in high school and a five-year-old brother. He's as smart as you."
Mike nodded and looked at him with a clever look in his eyes.
Luke said, "I'm good friends with your sister, Lisa. I'm here because she told me that you found something strange. I happen to be interested in those things, so I came to take a look. "
Mike grew alarmed. "What is it?"
Luke chuckled and didn't give a direct answer. Instead, he said, "Did you know? My uncle is an entomologist and a forensic expert. He works at a research institute in Las Vegas, and his favorite snack is fried bugs."
Mike was lost for words. Then your uncle better not like dogs.
Looking at his face, Luke chuckled. "You know that there are many kinds of people who like things. My favorite food is also one of them. "
Mike was lost for words.
Luke said, "So, can you show me your big discovery? If it's interesting, I can ask my uncle to analyze it. He's very interested in all kinds of strange bugs. "
Mike hesitated.
Luke said, "Hey, kid, your sister asked me to help you. You don't want Mom to think that you're lying, do you? "
Mike's trust in his sister and his vague sense of danger finally overwhelmed the sense of unfamiliarity. He rose and took out something from a corner of his desk. "This is it."
Narrowing his eyes, Luke accepted the item and sniffed. "You told your sister that you found a terrible monster?"
As he asked the question, he observed the item in his hand.
Mike hesitated, but still nodded. "Yes, it's too big. It's like a moving cabin."
Luke nodded, deep in thought. "Do you mind if I show it to my uncle?"
Mike: "Huh?"
Luke said, "Just take a picture and send it to him."
Naturally, Mike didn't have a problem with that.
Elizabeth had already said that her brother was an insect lover, which was why Luke had used Old Greyson as bait.
He sent a photo of the object and a message to Old Greyson. Very soon, Old Greyson called him back. "What did you send me? Don't tell me it's a movie prop? "
Luke said, "No, I'm holding it right now. I've confirmed that it's real."
Old Greyson asked, "Where are you?"
Luke said, "Boom Town, Arizona, a small place."
Old Greyson asked, "Boom Town? Wait, I think I know someone over there. "
Luke asked, "Who?"
Old Greyson said, "Joshua Taft. He's an expert on spiders and their breeding."
Mike exclaimed, and Luke turned his head. "What's wrong?"
Mike said, "I found this in Joshua's spider farm when I went to look for him."
After a brief silence, Old Greyson asked, "Is there someone next to you?"
Luke said, "You heard him. He was the one who discovered it. I only took it from him."
Old Greyson asked, "Did something happen to Joshua?"
Luke looked at Mike.
The boy shook his head. "I don't know. Mom won't let me go to the spider farm, especially after what happened. I called Joshua just now, but he didn't answer. "
Luke said, "Did you hear that, Greyson?"
Old Greyson said, "… Try to help if you can. But don't put yourself in danger. I don't want Robert to scold me. "
Luke said, "Got it. It's hard to say what's going on here. Two people are already missing. Don't come here. I'll let you know if anything happens. "
After a brief silence, Old Greyson heaved a sigh. "Fine, be careful. Right, send me a high-definition photo of the object. It'll be best if there's a ruler next to it. "
Mike interjected, "I have the data on my computer. I can send it to you if you want. If you have an email, Mr. Greyson. "
Luke: "…
Old Greyson said, "… Okay. Thank you very much. Oh, what's your name? "
Mike said, "Call me Mike."
Old Greyson said, "Thank you, Mike. I'll send you my email address. That's all. "
After he hung up, Luke gave Mike the email address that Old Greyson had sent him. He then watched the boy skillfully operate the computer and send the data over.
Luke couldn't help but ask, "Can I take a look at the data?"
Mike said, "Just don't tell Mom."
Luke raised three fingers. "I swear."
As he spoke, he bent down and flipped through the data on the computer.
A moment later, he was surprised. "Did you do this yourself?"
Mike didn't seem proud at all. "Yes. I like studying them, so I've been making reports on them. But Mom always says that it's dangerous, and I can only go there once in a while. "
Luke, on the other hand, agreed with Samantha. Joshua might be in trouble now, right?
As a mother and a police officer, Samantha was much more concerned about safety than a kid like Mike.
It was all thanks to his mother that the little guy was still alive and kicking here.
Luke frowned and asked, "How many spiders are there in Joshua's spider farm?"
Mike thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm not sure. He often trains new spiders. But the last time I went there, I counted some of them, and there were already more than two hundred of them.
Luke was lost for words. Are you kidding me?
Looking at the analysis data again, there was a spider model crawling next to a human. The comparison between the two sizes made his hair stand on end.
Would you be scared of a spider the size of a basin?
Arthropods had always been one of Luke's least favorite creatures, including but not limited to spiders, scorpions, and centipedes.
Now, he felt uncomfortable when he thought that he might have to deal with some giant spiders.
Luke was rather helpless.
Calling for help? What right did he have to call for help? Just based on the small piece of spider exoskeleton in Mike's hand?
If a guess could summon a lot of police officers, all the police officers in America would've died from overwork.
