After hearing Lin An's last word, Gao Tian couldn't help but froze on the spot.
The tea cup passed to his mouth was stiff. He lowered his head to the woman sitting at the table and said nothing, but slowly raised his head to look at Lin An.
"Why do you say that?"
"Don't you think your statement is ridiculous?"
The quicksand-like spider on his body stopped, as if frozen in place.
Lin An flipped his wrist and adjusted the angle of the blade. He seemed to be gesturing in which direction he could cut off the woman's head and then slowly said:
"It's very simple."
"I believe most of what you said before is true, but there is a key flaw."
"That's Wang Teng!"
"According to your statement, you and Wang Teng became awakened after the marrow-sucking spider appeared."
"This must be wrong."
"Wang Teng may have become an awakened person after the marrow-sucking spider appeared, but you are definitely not one."
"Then the question is, why are you covering up the facts here?"
"There is only one answer."
"You want to imply that our marrow-sucking spiders appeared before you became an awakened one, and it has nothing to do with you."
"The marrow-sucking spider is hatched from the mother egg in the woman's brain, and the spider egg is bred from the marrow-sucking spider."
After hearing this, the woman couldn't help but let out a sneer, and the spiders on her body resumed their movement.
"Don't you think your guess is childish?"
"Isn't this obvious? You said before that the marrow-sucking spider must have been hatched from the mother's egg in the woman's brain, and mutated due to eating contaminated crabs."
"Why, do you think your previous speculation was wrong?"
"Furthermore, even if I became an awakened person before, what does that have to do with the marrow-sucking spider?"
Gao Tian came back to his senses and had the same doubt in his heart.
Brother Lin's conclusion that the marrow-sucking spider was created by a woman based on this alone is too arbitrary.
It's just that this time he didn't choose to ask Lin An out loud. After all, one of them was one of his own, and the other was a suspicious "awakened one."
"Of course it's relevant."
"First of all, you and Wang Teng must have known each other before the apocalypse broke out."
"You mentioned Wang Teng three times. Although you didn't explain the relationship between you, you mentioned it the last time."
"(If I hadn't helped him secretly...)"
"Would you help him if I didn't know him?"
"If you want to help him because he is also an awakened person, then why not just send him food?"
"You clearly know that there are marrow-sucking spiders in the mall, which is extremely risky for them, and Wang Teng also specially uses skills as a means of detection to guard against monster attacks."
"This shows that he is actually afraid of the danger here."
The woman picked up the tea cup, took a sip of the unknown tea, and replied with a slight sarcasm:
"I can't get out of this level, so I can't provide food to them. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Otherwise, I don't need your help. I can go out by myself. At worst, I can put on a cloak and bandages."
"Besides, as you said, it is possible that I only met Wang Teng after the apocalypse broke out."
"I'm not familiar with him, I just want to take care of him as an awakened person."
"Who stipulated that awakened people should go all out to help each other? I'm like this even myself!"
Lin An shook his head slightly.
"Why bother struggling."
"You are the restaurant owner, and Wang Teng is the salesperson. The supplier of your restaurant is the same company as the crabs in the aquatic product area on the third floor."
"That's why I guessed that you had known each other before."
"It is very likely that Wang Teng took the lead in setting up this shipment for you."
"Moreover, lies will only increase in number of loopholes."
"A very simple question, you are the first person to awaken in the mall."
"Then why was you captured by the marrow-sucking spider, and not Wang Teng?"
"You are stronger than him."
"When you talked about Wang Teng's skills, you subconsciously showed contempt. (With that guy's skills, if I hadn't helped him...)"
The woman began to explain impatiently, and the spiders on her body flowed faster:
"Okay, I admit that I am the awakened person I became before. As for the fact that I was captured by the marrow-sucking spider, it was because I wanted to protect everyone at that time."
"But I didn't expect that monster to be so powerful..."
Lin An suddenly interrupted her:
"Protect everyone?"
"Didn't you say you didn't want to take care of it?"
A lot of spiders fell into the tea in the woman's hand, and she stared at Lin An coldly:
"Now that I've become like this, I'm no longer in the mood to care about them, can't I?"
"And what does this have to do with me getting the marrow-sucking spider?"
"Don't you think you're talking nonsense?"
The woman was a little angry, and Gao Tian didn't quite understand what Lin An meant.
Lin An didn't care:
"As you said, you want to ask us for help. Why not ask Wang Teng for help?"
The woman sneered:
"Because that guy is a loser. His ability to protect himself is a problem, let alone enter the city."
"Then why didn't Wang Teng come to you for help? You are the first awakened person. As you said, you saved everyone."
"A savior who sacrifices himself for others, why would Wang Teng not seek your help?"
Lin An looked calmly and asked about the woman.
"Because he is afraid of me like this! He dare not come to see me!"
The woman stood up suddenly and smashed the teacup in her hand to the ground. She was trembling all over.
"I've had enough of your stupid and self-righteous speculations. Have you always wanted to accuse me of creating the marrow-sucking spider and killing everyone?"
"I obviously became like this because I saved everyone!"
After she finished speaking, she covered her face, looking extremely angry and sad.
Drops of "spider tears" fell to the ground, and Gao Tian felt inexplicably sad inside after seeing it.
The woman explained each of Brother Lin's questions very clearly, and I didn't know what Brother Lin wanted to do.
Lin An sighed softly and watched the woman's performance with interest.
"You're right. These are all speculations. I can't prove that the marrow-sucking spider is related to you at all."
"You explained almost everything."
"But, I don't need proof. I just need verification."
"Verify what?"
Gao Tian didn't quite understand what Lin An meant. Did Brother Lin give up the analysis and take action directly?
Seeing Gao Tian's doubts, Lin An chuckled.
"Gao Tian, remember when I told you that every word of the mission is crucial?"
"I have no intention at all that these questions will expose her lies."
"What I want is to confirm that my previous speculation is correct. What I want is for her to prove my guess personally."
"Our mission is to [find the cause of the spider eggs]."
"But we have found the cause and verified it with her."
"The spider eggs come from this "lady's" restaurant, the source of the goods is from Kesler Company, and the origin is Indonesia."
"The first mother egg is in her brain, and the second one is in the body of the woman before the marrow-sucking spider transformed."
"Subsequent spider eggs are produced after the mother egg turns into a marrow-sucking spider."
"I've obviously checked it out so clearly..."
"But why hasn't the mission been completed yet!?"
"There is only one answer."
"There is an error in the validation question."
"But the mother egg existed before the end of the world, so the origin of the mother egg cannot be wrong."
"Then the mistake can only occur because the subsequent spider eggs are not reproduced from the second female egg in the woman's brain."
(Lin An used the condition that he could complete the task by finding out the cause, and tested this problem with "it". But the task was not completed, which means that the mother egg in the mind of the third-level woman is not a marrow-sucking spider, because the subsequent spider eggs are not
As long as this marrow-sucking spider reproduces, the task will be judged as completed.)
"But Wang Teng said, (later there were spiders in the eggs that grew bigger and bigger and became marrow-sucking spiders.)"
"He made a mistake. Without the marrow-sucking spider, where would the follow-up spider eggs come from?"
"so."
"Where do the three-layered marrow-sucking spiders and the spider eggs they reproduce from appear?"
Lin An looked with cold eyes at the woman covering her face and crying.
"It hatched from the first female egg in your brain, right?"
"But you're not dead..."
"And you can still stand here and keep telling me that you were dragged away by a marrow-sucking spider and turned into this miserable state."
As soon as he finished speaking, the system prompt sounded.
"Hey, the mission is completed."
"The next stage of the mission is to kill the mutant biological symbiote: Spider Maker!"
