Before leaving, Xia Ye had specially reminded Aarons.

——Although Karin is strong, she is not invincible. If he encounters an enemy that cannot be defeated quickly, he must make escaping from danger his top priority.

But he completely forgot this important advice.

"This guy——"

The giant mechanical spider that had stopped moving suddenly jumped out of the pit, and its pale blue compound eyes also shot out a strange glow.

Even if one leg was broken, the spider could still move at an incredible high speed. And this time, Karin didn't even have time to react, and the huge body had already moved in front of Aarons.

As long as the opponent slashed down with the giant sword-like forelimbs, Aarons' life would end here.

... It's over.

"Beep——"

However, the giant spider did not launch a fatal attack, but let out a terrifying scream again at a very close distance.

"Damn it...!"

Aarons' spirit was instantly shattered by the sharp cry that pierced his soul, and he could no longer maintain his normal thinking ability.

And just when he was dizzy and about to fall to the ground, a crack like a mouth suddenly opened under the spider's compound eyes, and several metal pipes like tentacles shot out from it.

——After just a few seconds, those pipes tightly wrapped around Aarons' body, and then suddenly dragged him into the spider's open mouth.

And it was not until Aarons' figure completely disappeared that Karin realized what had just happened.

"Young... Master?"

...

After Aarons was swallowed into the spider's body, his consciousness slowly returned to normal.

To his surprise, there was no feeling of suffocation and oppression inside. Although there was a pitch-black darkness in front of him, the air and temperature were unexpectedly normal.

"Hmm... What on earth is this guy..."

[Confirm that the mental support individual has been captured, and start extracting relevant information. 】

The metal pipes that bound his body did not loosen their strength, and his face seemed to be covered by something - although Aarons's thinking had started again, he was completely unable to analyze the current situation.

[Scan, copy, learn - memory reading began. 】

Just as he was about to carefully analyze what the resonating sound in his brain meant, his consciousness was suddenly pulled into a huge vortex.

Countless scenes in his memory flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern - the bitterness and hard work of school in his previous life, the excitement and yearning when he was admitted to university... and the confusion and helplessness when he graduated.

At that time, he didn't know where his life should go, but just followed the ideas of others. After the best youth time was wasted, he met a person who almost changed his fate.

"...Why did you choose me?"

That was a person he didn't deserve at all.

...

Bound by the memories of the past, Aarons didn't know that something big had happened outside at this time.

After watching Aarons being swallowed by the spider, Karin's spirit collapsed in an instant.

According to common sense, the only result of humans being swallowed by monsters is to be crushed and digested, and eventually become part of the other party.

Karin had seen the monster eat her companions with her own eyes - it was that painful failure that made her lose the ability to use fighting spirit.

"——Master Aarons!!"

When the same tragedy was staged again in front of her, the wolf beauty who had just put down the painful memories completely lost her mind.

"You - a broken machine!!"

As the tragic roar pierced through the sky, a mysterious induction wave quickly spread from Karin's body. And in a flash, all the magic source stones within a few hundred meters of her center were activated without warning.

Countless dark red psychic light particles seeped out from the ground or flew from the sky, carrying incredible and terrifying heat, all flowing into Karin's body.

This huge amount of spiritual energy made her body seem to burn - the clothes that could resist magic attacks began to burn, and the ground under her feet was instantly melted by the immeasurable heat energy, turning into flowing dark red lava.

"Give the young master back to me!"

The earth trembled unnaturally again, and Karin, who had turned into an active volcano, attacked the strange enemy again.

The spider's blade-like limbs were broken by her unskilled punch, and even the silver-white fangs under the compound eyes could not hurt her body.

The mechanical limbs were broken one by one by the huge force, andThe spider's ellipsoidal body was also smashed into the boiling magma by a heavy punch.

"Spit it out!!"

But the spider, whose limbs were all broken, was still intact. No matter how hard Karin hit its shell, she could not leave any marks on the surface.

If she could still keep a bit of rationality at this time, she might be able to detect this abnormality.

Unfortunately, Karin, who had already fallen into a crazy state, only had the option of using brute force to break the opponent in her mind.

...

[Detected that abnormally abundant carbon-uranium particles are gathering - abandon the existing attack plan, start the defense enhancement mode, and start absorbing free carbon-uranium particles and excess geothermal energy. ]

Although Aarons clearly received the spiritual resonance emitted by the spider, his consciousness was still trapped in his own memories.

He remembered the girl he met when he was about to enter his thirties - meeting that person almost changed the trajectory of his life.

At that time, he was just an ordinary office worker who had no goals in life and worked for others in a daze. In order to let him start a family as soon as possible, his parents introduced many girls to him in various ways.

Although most of them were not suitable for each other, they did not communicate deeply, but the girl he met in the end was unexpectedly very suitable for him.

"Have you thought about what you will do in the future? My family is not bad. If we can get married, I can help you solve the problem of funds."

"... This is not suitable."

The girl is a kind and noble person - just like a real aristocrat, willing to devote her strength for the happiness of others.

However, Aarons in his previous life did not dare to believe that there was such luck in the world... He first suspected that the girl actually had other intentions, but later found that the other party's family conditions were indeed much better than his, and she did not intend to ask him to pay anything.

Although the two officially started dating, Aarons in his previous life still could not accept the other party's kindness.

Indirect, secretly spying, even exasperated... But no matter how he tried to test the other party, he could not find any flaws.

However, after finally confirming the other party's sincerity, he fell into a vicious circle of self-doubt.

"—— I am not worthy of you, find a better man."

He said "consider the other party" again and again, and kept denying himself.

In his previous life, Aarons never tired of tearing the relationship between the two, as if he thought that separation was the best result.

After this fragile relationship lasted for three years, the tortured girl finally showed him her cards.

"Give me a definite answer... Are you willing to marry me?"

"You are degrading yourself without dignity like this, as if you are scolding me for having a problem with my vision."

"If you really don't like me, then say it clearly, don't waste the time of both of us!"

——So, he finally chose to escape.

The person who should have been able to change his fate was pushed out of his life by his own hands. No matter how he deceived himself afterwards, he could not get rid of the pain in his heart.

When he started his own company a few years later, he finally heard the news that the girl had married someone else - she did marry someone better than herself, but she was not happy.

"At that time... what was I afraid of?"

When this memory that he didn't want to recall finally disappeared from his eyes, Aarons, who had already started his second life, still sighed heavily.

[Learning, analysis, reproduction - capturing the specific image that is saved in the target individual's memory data, and starting to combine other data features to construct a pseudo-personality. ]

[The main structure of the body begins to reconstruct, transforming into a human body simulation form according to the prescribed process, testing functions and eliminating external interference. ]

[The main database is closed, preparing to separate the captured individual, and starting to execute the final transformation program - hello, world. ]

"Uh... what are you doing!?"

- Aarons, who finally broke free from the painful memories at this time, received an incomprehensible and strange message from the spiritual resonance.
