Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring his vision. Li Sheng returned to his standing position, breathing heavily.

sand--

The sound of dense footsteps came from a distance, and countless small spider monsters divided into two groups, one rushed into the ruins of the building, and rescued the Mocai Spider who did not know whether he was alive or dead. Another wave rushed to Li Sheng.

Li Sheng tried his best to kill, but his muscles ached, his limbs were weak, and the spider monsters seemed endless, making it difficult to move even an inch.

Click, click, click——

The ink-colored giant spider slowly walked out of the ruins of the building, suddenly leaned forward, and raised its abdomen high toward Li Sheng.

The color of the giant spider's body surface changes mottledly, and thousands of patterns appear in an instant.

Li Sheng's pupils were trembling violently as he was trying to break out of the encirclement. He could clearly see the shape of the giant spider, but his brain could not distinguish its category.

‘This is an organism about the size of a heavy truck, roughly divided into a front part and a back part, and the two parts are connected by a relatively thin handle’

‘The front part is inlaid with seven yellow objects’

'Under the middle, there are eight longer sticks, similar to spider legs.'

'Wait, what is a spider? Why can't I remember? ’

'Wait, who am I? ’

His thoughts were confused and his consciousness stopped abruptly.

————

The breeze blew over my cheeks, bringing a slight chill.

Li Sheng opened his eyes in a daze and found that he was hanging upside down in the air, his whole body wrapped in white silk threads in a cocoon shape, with only his cheeks exposed.

The muscles all over his body were so weak that he couldn't even express his expression, so he had to turn his eyes and observe the surrounding situation.

This place looks like the inside of a shopping mall. The word "looks like" is used because everything as far as the eye can see is covered with thick spider webs.

A large number of small spider monsters walked between bridges, webways, and stairs, carrying cocoons of different shapes one by one and hanging them on the web.

The cocoons can be large or small, the small ones contain mice, squirrels, and birds, and the large ones contain cats and dogs.

There are also larger cocoons containing humans. Their eyes were closed and their expressions were stiff. It was not known whether they had fallen into drowsiness or been injected with a paralyzing toxin.

In a sense, it would be better not to wake up——

Higher up in the spider web, densely packed cocoons of shriveled insects hung. The humans inside have long been sucked dry of blood and marrow, leaving only a shriveled, wrinkled skin hanging from the bones.

Whenever the wind blows, it makes a whining sound.

Surrounded by cocoons, the giant black colored spider was entrenched in the center of the web, motionless.

Its injuries were particularly severe. In addition to the dense wounds on its limbs, its back was bloody and fleshy, one of its jaws was broken, and the color on its body slowly and unconsciously flowed.

Dozens of small spider monsters crawled around on it, spitting out spider webs to cover the wounds and stop the green blood flowing out of it.

Li Sheng's pupils kept trembling, and just looking at the Mo Cai Spider, the feeling of confusion came to his mind.

Memories from before surfaced, and he remembered the fight on the road, but in the blink of an eye this memory became blurry and faded.

This forgetting effect even spreads further, and I can no longer remember why I am in the shadow world.

I can't watch any more.

He forced himself to shift his gaze and look down.

Through the gaps in the spider web, you can see the shopping mall in the real world, bustling and full of people. These people are completely unaware of what kind of devil's cave there is in the other world right next to them.

Swipe and pull——

The silk cocoons on his body felt tightening, as if something was pulling on him.

Li Sheng sighed in his heart, silently moved his mouth muscles, and tried to bite his tongue with his teeth. Always be prepared to bite the tip of your tongue and stimulate your whole body with pain to see if you can get rid of the paralysis and fight back.

The expected scene of being dragged away and brought to the mouth of the Mocai Spider did not appear. The power on the foot pulled the cocoon over the railing and dragged it all the way into the dimly lit employee passage.

She was not the only cocoon in the passage. Ye Jiaying and Yuan Zhixia were also wrapped in cocoons. When they saw Li Sheng, they tried their best to blink at him and move their facial muscles.

"Do not move."

A crisp and childish human voice suddenly sounded in the employee passage, and the voice came from a small spider monster.

It is no different from the others of its kind, except that the right half of its head is covered with a layer of white gauze.

A talking spider monster?

rustle--

The spider monster crawled next to Li Sheng's head and bit him on the neck. With the injection of a certain liquid, the toxins are neutralized, and the original numbness in the body immediately subsides.

After regaining strength in his limbs, Li Sheng immediately broke open the cocoon and stood firm.

At this time, the spider monster also bit Ye Jiaying and Yuan Zhixia on their necks, lifting their paralysis. Li Sheng helped cut the cocoons and regained their freedom.

"Keep your voice down and follow me."

Voices came from the belly of the special spider monster again. It took steps and walked down the stairs.

The three of them looked at each other. They were trapped in a devil's cave and had no choice. They had no choice but to follow them slowly.

Walking all the way down the employee passage, the first underground floor is the commercial street, the second underground floor is the underground ring road and parking lot, and the third and fourth underground floors are the municipal comprehensive pipe corridor layer, which is where gas, electricity, water supply, communication and other pipelines are buried. .

The fifth underground floor is the subway equipment floor, and further down is the subway tunnel.

Li Sheng and Yuan Zhixia were right in predicting that the spider monster tribe did use the city's subway system as a tool for hitchhiking.

The floors, ceilings, and even the train carriages were covered in cobwebs. Fortunately, perhaps because the Black Spider was seriously injured, all the descendants ran to take care of it, and there were no spider monsters in the subway tunnel.

The scene was so bizarre that Li Sheng couldn't help but ask, "How come the Special Affairs Bureau didn't even find something so obvious?!"

Yuan Zhixia raised her eyebrows and realized that this should be the name of the national agency that maintains social order.

The special spider in front paused for a moment and continued to lead the way. A crisp human voice came from its abdomen, "Because, that big spider has the ability to [forget]."

"Forget?" Ye Jiaying looked puzzled. Li Sheng immediately thought of the feeling of broken memory before and said hoarsely, "Agnosia?"

The so-called agnosia is an acquired cognitive disorder caused by local damage to the brain.

When facing something, the patient can recognize it through other sensory channels, but only loses the ability to recognize familiar objects, self or visual space through a specific sensory channel and corresponding senses.

For example, visual agnosia caused by damage to the occipital lobe and temporal lobe, the patient can clearly see the shape of the object and say its characteristics, but the brain cannot "recognize" the object.

Describing gloves as "five everted containers\

,"Describing stethoscopes as "long ropes with discs at one end\

,"Describing keys as "thin metal sheets with defective grooves".

This is similar to the situation when Li Sheng's brain could not recognize the black spider.

The problem is that agnosia is caused by local damage to the brain, and Li Sheng's head is still fine.

"I don't know what agnosia is, but it shouldn't be."

The little spider monster led the three people down the subway equipment level to the subway tunnel level and whispered: "People and animals eaten by the big spider will also be forgotten in reality. No one can remember them. Even if their blood and their backpacks fall on the ground, no one will notice."
