The mysterious silk...

It is something that runs through this world and the entire storyline.

And just like its name suggests.

It's something as thin as a spider's thread; even if you spray it with a sponge and have the ability to see ghosts, you might not be able to see it.

Because it is too thin and too small.

In the original story, after Su Yuan accidentally saw Chen Yaoxi, a strange thread connected the two of them between their eyebrows. Then, Chen Yaoxi activated a materialized strange hand and killed Su Yuan, which was witnessed by Ye Qidong.

Because Ye Qidong was a sniper, his eyesight was far superior to that of ordinary people, but this was the first time he had discovered it. When he shouted it out, Hu Shouren and Dong Hemei, who were standing next to him, were asking, "Where is the silk?"

Because ordinary people simply cannot see the size of a spider silk thread a meter away.

Zhang Yue had been paying attention to the strange silk all along, so he saw it.

This means that Chen Yaoxi told Zheng Chun about his arrest. With the bond between mother and son, once Zheng Chun dies, he will immediately transform into the Evil Mother and begin a killing spree...

「ひどい!」

「ひどい……」

Hashimoto, his eyes blazing with fury, collapsed to the ground, repeatedly pressing a counter in his hand—once, twice, three times…

Clearly, his anger had reached its peak.

"Wait, what's this?"

Ye Qidong is a sniper in the police force. He noticed that everyone present was now connected to the web and immediately shouted, "Everyone, check yourselves to see if you are connected to this web."

"Silk?" Dong Hemei looked completely bewildered.

But Hu Shouren noticed, "He Mei, your feet, there are silk threads on your feet."

"Oh, wait, you have one too?"

"What's this? What happened?"

Dong Hemei waved her hand, but couldn't touch the eerie thread. Her arm passed directly to it and she could even move back and forth on it, giving her a chilling feeling, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Hu Shouren asked in horror, "What is this thing...?"

Dong Hemei asked in a trembling voice, "What... what is this?"

"The Cursed Silk, perhaps this is the rule that allows it to materialize and kill..." Zhang Yue's calm voice came from the side.

"Silk?" Ye Qidong looked at Zhang Yue with a questioning expression, but at the same time seemed to have guessed something.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the opportunity that led it to kill foreigners, and also the rule."

Zhang Yue explained, "Previous experiments have proven that it is unaffected by external sounds and images, as if it lives in its own world."

"In other words, to us, it may be no different from the birds, insects, stones, or flowers and trees by the roadside. Only when we are connected by this thread will a rule of mutual visibility be created."

"The foreign photographer didn't spray the sponge into his eyes, so he couldn't see it. But at the moment of eye contact, a connection was formed, causing both of them to see each other. That's the rule."

Ye Qidong said in a deep voice, "You mean, we're being targeted by it? But wasn't Chen Yaoxi taken away by Meng Jie Sponge?"

Zhang Yue calmly said, "Don't forget, it also has a mother..."

"If a child is bullied outside, shouldn't they tell their mother?"

Ye Qidong frowned. "But wasn't it strangled to death by Zheng Chun herself, and wasn't it filled with extremely intense hatred? How could it still..."

"It might not be hate, it could be love." Zhang Yue smiled. "We can't look at ghosts from a human perspective, especially not from a child's..."

At this moment, Hashimoto had already stood up, limping, and walked out step by step.

Seeing this, Zhang Yue quickly went over to help him up, saying, "Dr. Hashimoto, let me see you off..."

Hashimoto glanced at Zhang Yue with a complicated expression. "Zhang-san, do you know where I'm going?"

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Yes, I know, so I plan to give you a ride."

Dong Hemei, standing to the side, asked in confusion, "Captain Hashimoto, where are you planning to go...?"

"Of course..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Yue's pupils suddenly contracted, for he saw a woman dressed in white, with a pale face, slowly rising from the ground...

Zheng Chun!

Chen Yaoxi's mother, that wicked mother.

How could it be so fast? He just died; even if he had taken a car, he couldn't have gotten here this quickly…

But reality is cruel. From the moment Chen Yaoxi showed his pain to the moment the minister snatched Meng Jie's sponge and all the computer data in the laboratory, it all happened in less than an hour.

"Run! It's coming!"

Zhang Yue shouted and immediately picked up Hashimoto and ran. Hashimoto was in the late stages of a serious illness and his body was so thin that it was not heavy to carry him.

"What is it? Who's here..." Hu Shouren hadn't finished speaking when he felt a chill run through his body, because Zheng Chun's first target was him, simply because he was the closest to Zheng Chun.

Before he could finish speaking or even react, Zheng Chun had already locked eyes with him and then reached out to grab his throat.

"Ugh... Ugh..." Hu Shouren struggled in terror, waving his hands wildly, but he couldn't touch Zheng Chun at all. Instead, Zheng Chun was tightly gripping his neck.

"Ah—" Dong Hemei screamed in terror.

Bah!

Ye Qidong grabbed the gun in terror and instinctively fired a shot at Zheng Chun's head.

The bullet pierced its head but had no effect whatsoever; instead, it regenerated at a visible speed.

"Run!" Ye Qidong shouted, his face showing reluctance, and pulled Dong Hemei along as they ran.

"Help me...help me—" Hu Shouren reached out his hand to them, but he was powerless to help.

Zheng Chun watched Ye Qidong and Dong Hemei escape with expressionless eyes, her white pupils filling the air. Only after Hu Shouren had completely stopped breathing did she slowly release her hands, gradually sinking into the ground, and chase after them.

……

……

"It, it's catching up..."

As soon as they ran downstairs, they saw Zheng Chun chasing after them with a blank expression. Compared to them running up the stairs, Zheng Chun, who could pass through walls, was obviously much faster.

"My leg, my leg is cramping! Shouren, did it kill Shouren?"

Dong Hemei's legs went weak with fear, and she even had a spasm, while Ye Qidong glanced at her with a hesitant expression.

If he runs, he and Mei are doomed, but he's a policeman and has to protect the people; if he doesn't run, he'll stay and die with her.

Nourishes—

Just then, a car sped past and braked to a stop in front of them.

An anxious voice came from inside the car, "Get in the car quickly."

Ye Qidong's eyes lit up; it was truly a case of "after the darkest hour comes the dawn." He quickly helped He Mei and the other woman into the car.

Before they could even settle in, Zhang Yue stepped on the gas and sped off.

But Zheng Chun transformed into a blur, crawling on all fours like an animal, catching up with them at incredible speed, and then slowly passing her hands through the car...

Dong Hemei screamed, "Ah—it, it's in!"

"Calm down, don't panic!" Zhang Yue whispered, slamming the accelerator to the floor...
