Spider of the Moon

A full hour passed.

Red's face was haggard, weak and powerless, as if she had been drained dry.

She had already gone all out, risking her life. The stockpile in her belly was used up in the first half hour, and the rest was produced on the spot through her conversion ability.

But now, she had used every ability she had and tried every method she could think of. She truly didn't have a single strand of spider silk left.

What was despairing was that she couldn't see the end of the required amount at all.

How far was the Eternal Moon from the world?

Nobody knew, including Chen Miemie.

It could be infinitely far, the kind of far that meant they weren't even in the same world.

Therefore, even if Red were ten or a hundred times stronger, her silk volume still wouldn't be enough to connect.

So, was she doomed to die?

No.

Just as in the breakthrough from [Mystery] 5 to [Mystery] 6, the arrival of a [Blessing] brought a miracle.

For Red at this moment, Chen Miemie beside her was her [Blessing].

Chen Miemie came to the side of the exhausted Red.

"Red, I am very satisfied with your strength and will. Are you willing to follow me?"

Red was already too tired to think.

If she still had the energy, she might have shouted: "I'm about to die, what difference does it make if I follow you or not? Wait, you're the one who caused me to die!"

But at this moment, with her exhausted eyelids drooping, she didn't let go of any chance of help and voiced weakly:

"I am willing."

"Good."

The Moon's Invitation, complete.

The completion of the Moon's Invitation brought Red a gift.

An incredibly precious gift—the Knot of the Eternal Moon.

The standard procedure was for a yellow silk thread to descend from the sky and tie onto Red's heart.

This time, the yellow silk thread did more than that. The yellow thread coming from the Eternal Moon connected with the thread Red released at the very top of the endless sky.

The yellow, white, and red threads connected.

In this special way, Red connected to the Eternal Moon.

At this instant, the aura around Red's entire body skyrocketed, her red eyes burned like torches with divine light, and her whole body was enveloped in the light of the Eternal Moon.

After a long while, the anomaly gradually subsided.

Red looked at her hands. Not only had her strength fully recovered, but it had also grown much, much stronger. Moreover, she could feel that she could control her passive ability.

Chen Miemie waited for her with a smile not far away.

Red walked over on her eight legs, approaching Chen Miemie. She lowered her spider chassis, bowed, and lowered her head: "Praise the Eternal Moon."

The circle of anomalies who had been watching for a long time finally swarmed up to greet their new companion.

Red quickly learned how to use the yellow subtitles.

She called up her panel.

[Red / Moon Spider [Mystery] 6.8 [Immortality] 6.9 Abilities: Spider Silk, Red Thread, Moon Spider, Eternal Moon Kin]

[Under the interference of the Lord of the Eternal Moon, in a cheating manner, achieved an impossible miracle, becoming the first spider to descend into the world from the Eternal Moon.]

Chen Miemie also saw Red's panel.

How should he put it? Her [Mystery] was very strong, even higher than the currently strongest Pure Water, but her [Immortality] was relatively average, making it seem like she couldn't take much of a beating.

The problem was that this panel didn't meet Chen Miemie's expectations.

He had put in so much effort, and this contract even included a good creative idea, yet she didn't seem overwhelmingly powerful.

Chen Miemie shook his head. Forget it, at least with the bonus of the Eternal Moon Kin, Red was the first to break through 7 in [Mystery].

He wondered what level [Mystery] 7 was.

Red quickly figured out her new abilities.

[Spider Silk] and [Red Thread] were abilities she originally had.

"[Spider Silk] is my white physical silk thread. It is thin, dense, tough, sharp, silent, and can also form a large web."

"[Red Thread] is my red ethereal thread. As long as two people are connected, feelings will be generated between them—family affection, friendship, or romantic love. Moreover, the one connected later will be willing to sacrifice for the former."

Bobo wiggled its butt: "Is that the ability that stopped us from attacking you just now?"

"Yes. Having feelings doesn't mean absolute control. Right after connecting the thread, the most I can do is make you not hurt me. I can't manipulate you into doing things that further violate your own will, like killing each other.

But if the connection lasts long enough, it can eventually make someone act recklessly without regard for anything."

"Then couldn't you act as a matchmaker, connecting men and women?"

"Yes, but the red thread also has a side effect."

"What side effect?"

"If I tie a red thread for a man and a woman, the one connected later will gradually fall for the former, willingly sacrifice, and eventually they will come together. However, when the two tie the knot, the latter will eat the former."

"What do you mean by 'eat'?"

"It means exactly what it says. Eat them through the mouth."

"What kind of hellish ability is this? I thought you were a matchmaker, but it turns out you make people love and kill each other!"

"That's very normal. We spiders have the habit of eating our mates."

Good heavens, it turned out this red thread followed the mating values of spiders.

"This ability called [Moon Spider] is something I didn't have before. I felt it a bit, and it allows me to ignore any restrictions, letting me spin webs and drop down on silk anywhere."

"It doesn't sound that impressive."

"The webs spun and the silk dropped in this way are indestructible."

Qinghua was a bit doubtful: "Red, you used overly absolute words a few times—'ignore any restrictions,' 'anywhere,' 'indestructible.' It can't be that absolute, right?"

Red nodded: "There are indeed no absolute things in the world. However, according to my perception, as long as their [Mystery] does not exceed mine by a major tier, it is relatively 'absolute'."

Chen Miemie waited for them to chat for a long time before asking the question he cared about:

"Red, you are too big and too conspicuous. Can you shrink a bit?"

"Yes, I can shrink to the size of an ordinary spider."

"Good, this is good." Chen Miemie was overjoyed. He now had one more daily personal bodyguard.

Tonight's goal was successfully achieved, and Chen Miemie's group returned home.

They no longer needed to fly to go back.

Origami released its ability, established a spatial wormhole, folded space, and instantly returned to the living room of Room 1803 in the South District building.

However, this time, the teleportation distance was a bit far, and Origami seemed to struggle a little.

Arriving at a new home, Red was very curious about the surrounding environment.

She observed each room one by one.

"Chen Miemie, can I find a place around the house to spin a web and sleep?"

This request was reasonable, and Chen Miemie casually agreed.

Chen Miemie had just fallen asleep not long ago.

Joker, who went out early in the morning, came out of Room 1805.

He left home at this time every day and returned at night.

Joker's vigilance was extremely high.

Just one step out of his door, playing cards appeared in his hand, and he immediately entered a combat state.

He looked seriously at the corridor.

He saw that the ceiling of the corridor, which was normal last night, was now covered with several thick layers of spider webs after just one night.

The entire corridor looked as if it had been sealed in dust and abandoned for decades.
