Chapter 376 Empty Spider Eggs
"What?!"
Gui Yu frowned and asked others to check all the spider eggs in the cave. They found that they were all empty.
Moreover, there were a pair of holes on the top of hundreds of spider eggs, which showed that the life inside disappeared before it was born normally.
If Bai Zhi saw these spider eggs, he would find that they were much larger than the eggs of his own family. Each one was at least as big as a basketball, while the eggs of his own family were only the size of gems.
"Could it be that the 'nightmare' ate it itself?"
A bad premonition spread from Gui Yu's heart. Combined with the investigation of the habits of the "nightmare" by the Secret Guard Bureau, this was not impossible.
After initially handling the battle scene, he led people to quickly return to the previous open area and re-examine the objects in the stomachs of the unconscious people.
After comparison and confirmation, the bulging "tennis balls" in these people's stomachs were also spider eggs.
But they were only the size of tennis balls, with no damage on the surface, and they were pregnant with evil life.
Gui Yu reported all the situations in the cave to Bai Zhi. After a short silence, he heard the noble and cold voice:
"I have learned about it."
"Find a chance to extract one of each type of spider egg and sacrifice it to me."
"As for the remaining intact eggs, you can do whatever you want with them, but you need to tell me the disposal plan."
"I will respond."
Could it be that Lord Bai Zhi is planning to take action himself and wait for an opportunity to rob this batch of eggs of strange creatures?
As speculation flashed through Gui Yu's mind, he heard the extremely pleasant voice:
"This matter is over. You must withdraw yourself from Jingchu City, and do not accept any tasks related to Jingchu City. Leave here as soon as possible, and so does 'Lin Bing'."
Feeling the Secret Guard Bureau's nervous attitude towards Jingchu City, Gui Yu also knew the upcoming danger and responded silently:
"I will tell her to follow your will together."
...
North District of Jingchu City
Bai Zhi was sitting in a cafe like an ordinary person, enjoying afternoon tea, and her eyes seemed to casually scan the passers-by outside the glass window.
But in fact, she was carrying out the task of patrolling the North District and preparing for accidents that might happen at any time.
Just now, she finished listening to the voice from Gui Yu.
"There are spider eggs in the cave? I thought that spider followers don't have the skill of 'laying eggs' and need to rely on opposite sex to produce the next generation..."
"However, 'Nightmare' seems to have broken this limitation. In addition, it has awakened the abilities of 'stand-in' and 'anti-divination and anti-prophecy', which should be mutations caused by devouring its own kind..."
"Hundreds of spider eggs that big... are all empty?! It can even eat its own offspring? I seem to have missed something..."
"Assuming that the life that disappeared in the big spider eggs was eaten by 'Nightmare', it should be much stronger than it is now, and it would not be seriously injured by Gui Yu and others, and it would not have escaped back to the cave..."
"Under this assumption, it should know that there is nothing worth risking in the cave, except for those unformed small spider eggs in human bodies..."
"However, those unformed small spider eggs are intact. Damage... It can be seen that it cannot help Nightmare out of trouble, otherwise it would have been eaten before Guiyu and the others entered the cave. "
"However, Nightmare still chose to return to the cave. "
"Therefore, the assumption is not true, and the large spider eggs were not emptied by the "Eater of Parents". "
"Then, there is another possibility..."
"——Nightmare actually didn't know that the spider eggs were empty! "
"And the reason why it has been keeping the large spider eggs is that it intends to wait for them to be born before swallowing them, so as to gain greater benefits? "
"Its original purpose of returning to the cave was to swallow the unborn offspring to heal the wounds and even evolve... When it discovered the true situation of the large spider eggs, it immediately started the substitute plan. "
"So, who ruined Nightmare's plan? Is there an outsider? "
"Bai Zhi suddenly realized that the "Eater of Parents" incident may not be completely over, and the situation is more complicated than she imagined.
Next, she can only wait for Guiyu to quietly sacrifice two kinds of spider eggs,
and then she will enter the spirit world for divination, or ask the Nine Palaces Deer Spirit to divination the secret behind it.
Just as she was thinking hard, her spirit was suddenly touched, and her eyes looked towards a corner of the coffee shop.
In the perception amplification room, her ears received the voice of the people there:
"Recently, the video content industry has become more and more popular. Even beauty and food broadcasting require extraordinary abilities to become popular."
"For example, some beauties edited clips of themselves growing animal ears and four legs and four arms in their cross-dressing videos, and they also called it the effect of makeup and post-processing. Non-professionals please do not imitate it. It's so scary, but it hasn't been censored yet."
"I know, but that's nothing. What's more cruel is that a girl who looks pure and cute is following the music, and suddenly her mouth... no, it's a big mouth, stretching out two rows of dinosaur-like fangs, and there are dense mouthparts on her tongue... This is extremely scary!"
"I think the most outrageous thing is that there are more and more outdoor anchors visiting weird houses, and they are all risking their lives for traffic."
"When you mention it, I remember the one who was on the hot search a while ago but was quickly removed. He was a test sleeper in a haunted house. When he was chatting with fans in the live broadcast room, a figure in red clothes suddenly appeared behind him, with his feet on the wall. The number of people in the live broadcast room suddenly increased tenfold, but it was quickly blocked."
"Ah?! Then...then he didn't die?" A girl with a bun asked nervously, holding her chin with fists.
"Well, the gossip says that the anchor is currently in a stable mood and sleeping peacefully in the coffin...but his tongue and eyeballs are gone..."
"Stop! Stop here, don't go off topic."
At this time, Allen, who has brown hair and brown eyes and looks good, said to his colleagues in the creative team at the same table:
"Looking through the phenomenon to the essence, we can also try to introduce extraordinary factors, such as holding a sacrificial ceremony pointing to a mysterious existence, so as to achieve program effects."
"Don't even think about it." A sweet and youthful girl on the opposite side refused:
"Now the federal government has relaxed its supervision of the live broadcast industry a lot. Although it gradually allows extraordinary abilities and the exploration of weird content, it will still ban mysterious sacrificial content."
Alan smiled bitterly, "What should we do then?"
The sweet young girl thought for a while and said:
"Your idea has inspired me. Although mysterious rituals cannot be involved, there are so many mysterious existences. We can choose relatively neutral and recently popular ones to hype."
