“Leah… Seed… … ?”

“What is it?”

To Pina’s question, Leah answered briefly and showed that she was not interested in what she said.

Of course, there was a request from Enic to give them some help, but the relationship was only broken up once they went to a safe place.

They didn’t even promise anything after taking them to a safe place, so there would be nothing to say even if they were to go and eat them then.

In that sense, Leah, who did not have any particular affection or meaning for them, glanced down at her when she heard Pina’s cautious call, as if she still wanted to continue talking.

“That… Thank you as expected…

I feel like I need to tell you… … ”

“I was just asked a favor.

And aren’t you just following along in the first place?

I don’t deserve any thanks.”

“Umm… … is that so… … ? Aha.. ha… …

but yet… I wanted to thank you… … ”

Pina smiled awkwardly and then gently lowered her head and began to speak.

“Humans… Because it was so cruel… …

I met him like this… There was hope that we could escape outside…

If it weren’t for Leah, it would be difficult to go outside right now… … ”

“What does it matter whether humans are cruel or not?

Do you not think that I, who am next to you right now, is something more?”

In response to Leah’s question, which had a bone in her words, Pina’s mouth, which showed a sad smile, was slowly beginning to open.

“I… I wanted to die… …

When I first got caught… Because my pet died… … ”

“……”

“So… I just waited for the day I could die…

but… I didn’t want it to end up like I was running away from death…

Even after something like this happens, you might think it’s foolish to question such things… ”

“…………”

The story is a little bit worse than expected.

Leah, whose face hardened as memories of the past suddenly surfaced, simply listened to the words in silence.

“So… The day that kid over there made a mistake and was hated by the human mercenaries…

Let’s protect that child and get cut by their swords instead…

I thought so… ”

Pina’s self-mocking smile gradually became more trembling, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

“Maybe I was thinking wrong… I couldn’t even die…

Rather, I was discovered to be in heat… …

As I receive the seeds of things I want to tear to death…

Not being able to get it out, holding it inside… .”

“Let’s stop talking about useless things.

If you don’t go to sleep now, you’ll be in trouble tomorrow.

Take care of your children yourself.”

Leah, who had carelessly fixed the upper body by roughly tying the spider web, resolutely cut off Pina’s words.

It was probably night outside now, and it was time to go to sleep for tomorrow’s schedule.

Saying that, Leah gently draped her upper body in the spider web as if lying face down on the desk and gently closed her eyes.

The sound of Pina’s footsteps quietly sobbing next to her, and then leaving for a moment to take care of the children, was gradually getting further away.

‘That and this are different.’

A pure smile that passes through your mind.

A friend of mine who couldn’t find the meaning of life and chose to die because of the pain he was left behind.

The memory of him leaving her without a chance to comfort her still filled him.

Was that why he was living like this?

.

.

.

In Chaoxing, Arachnella was usually called the widow spider.

As the atmosphere emanating from the name suggests, this was closer to a derogatory term than a nickname.

Beings who live without being able to die, even though they are pessimistic about their situation as a result of biological experiments.

Those who have hope in such a topic continue to live miserable lives in an environment where there is almost nothing to eat.

Since the female was always left alone as a widow at the end, the nickname “widow spider” was literally wiped away with tears.

Arachnella’s origins were humans, and surprisingly, their existence did not have a very long history.

‘Who are you? What’s your name?

‘When I was human.’

‘ostrich.’

‘It’s like a name from another country…’ !!

I am Yunmei. It’s Yunmei!!’

Like many of Chaoxing’s monsters, it was the result of a biological experiment combining a human body and a monster.

Like the genetically modified pigs used for organ transplants into humans, the Tang Xianlong spider that lives near the Luhe River is surprisingly highly compatible with the human body.

The experiment of manipulating its genes to make it gigantic, implanting a human upper body in it, and even modifying its genetic map to completely integrate it, initially gave the possibility of living by giving new bodies to people who lost their legs or were congenitally disabled. It was a concentrated experiment.

‘Ah~ When can I go out?

I think things are going to be okay now… … ‘

‘The researchers’ diagnosis hasn’t been completed yet…

You’ll have to wait a little longer… … ‘

‘Hehe… When it’s time to leave… Would you like to come over to my house?

me… Because I always have to lie down… You haven’t had any friends since you were young?

I wish Leah would come visit… … !!’

‘There is nothing that cannot be done. To do that, I need to get some sleep now.

‘Aren’t you tired from talking all night?’

However, technology and ethics always grow in opposite directions and in inverse proportion.

As technology developed, disregard for life and ethical laxity became more severe, and the concentration of wealth and power centered on royal family and blood relatives was gradually beginning to be used for the interests of those with vested interests rather than for its original purpose.

‘shit… ‘Why are the subjects’ hormonal responses like this?’

‘I do not know… As it became identical with the genetically modified spider, side effects may have appeared somewhere… ‘

‘How can I be used as a soldier of a great empire in this condition?!

‘Let’s come up with a solution right away!!’

‘This is a new life for people with disabilities…

Umm… … All right… Let’s try… … ‘

In this way, the experiments that were always attempted as prototypes of human body modification soldiers ultimately resulted in the disastrous result of not being able to replace or even support the transcendental ones.

Rather, it was because the subjects had become vicious, ignoring even commands, as if they had inherited the Tang Hsien Loong spider’s characteristics.

‘It’s a failure… Totally failed… … ‘

In other words, all the test subjects who had been used in numerous experiments had gone beyond being worthless and had been transformed into objects that needed to be eliminated.

‘Ahh!! ‘Who released the test subjects!!’

‘Where is the research director!!

No one but him has access rights!!’

‘No way, Director… !! Holy shit!! Ahh!! ‘Aaaah!!’

‘Forgive me… … My sin that I never knew would happen like this… …

In the next life, I will be born as a miscellaneous insect and live to atone for you… ‘

For this reason, in the process of organizing the research and ‘organizing’ the subjects, the Arachnella that were released due to an ‘accident’ escaped, turning the laboratory where they were born into a sea of fire, and thus they began to become wild.

Even though it was in ruins at first, the Arachnella people who lived around the research center, which was still touched by civilization, did not have to worry too much about their lives at first.

This is because individuals who lived as humans and had that knowledge came up with solutions to food, technology, etc. based on their knowledge.

The girls, who were still relatively small and young, who were confined in the laboratory, may have started to pass their time from this point on.

‘Nothing special, but… Let’s still enjoy it, shall we?

He said he found the farm!! The lady said she taught me how to make clothes!!

Although we are still young… If we help each other and work hard… !!’

‘There’s no way you wouldn’t know that, Yunmei.

So, first calm down your excitement and wipe the saliva from the corner of your mouth.

‘I won’t take it from you.’

However, when the superiors eventually heard the news of the Arachnella still living, they did not leave them alone.

Thus, a large-scale extermination of Arachnella began, and although a significant number of Arachnella were exterminated, some with strong physical abilities were able to escape.

However, the external environment was too harsh for those who escaped to survive, so the Arachnella had no time to rejoice that they had survived, and had to continue their struggle for life.

Especially for delicate girls to handle.

‘Hmm… Ugh… Hehehe… … Uncle… … ‘

‘He must have gone to a good place…

So before we follow you, we must pay for his life.’

‘Keuheung…’ … huh… … ‘

There was nothing I hadn’t tried in order to survive.

When they were hungry, they ate grass, and on days when they couldn’t bear it, they even swallowed dirt.

However, for them, who have the characteristics of a meat-eating Tang Hsien Loong spider, the proper food is meat protein.

The girls continued to live like that, falling from dizziness several times before learning how to catch earthworms and bugs from the ground, but the only thing left for them was each other.

Meanwhile, a small monster they came across came rushing towards them, and the two girls, who fought for their lives with the monster, were able to see that a very delicious scent was coming from the monster.

That was the moment when they realized that the food that suited them best was meat.

‘I feel sorry for the rat… … ‘

‘So are you planning on starving?’

‘ah..!! no… … !! It’s not like that… … ‘

‘Is it delicious?’

‘Yes… Hehehe… … !!’

Perhaps because they inherited the characteristics of Tang Xianlong Spider, who was originally a wild hunter, the girls’ skills were improving as they continued hunting.

They wait patiently for their prey, pursue it relentlessly, and sometimes fight to the death.

But neither of them said anything more about it.

Because they are girls who have now realized that death is always with them as they live.

That’s how the girls lived, and their bodies, growing stronger and stronger over time, were giving wings to agile and dangerous hunters in the wild.

When the two of us were together, we weren’t afraid of anything.

Just a time like this, where we sit together and share our prey.

I just wanted this moment together to last forever.

Until that day comes.
