As soon as it was dark, Xie Lun was awakened by the harsh sound of a motorcycle engine outside the window. Obviously, the motorcycles outside have been modified, and the air waves from the exhaust pipes are particularly harsh. Obviously there are a group of wildfire teenagers outside.

"Scarly, stop for me...bring me back..."

"Goodbye, mom, you don't need to prepare mine for lunch and dinner anymore."

Amidst the roar of laughter, the motorcycle engine sounded loudly, accompanied by a deafening "burst" sound, and quickly went away.

Without guessing, Xie Lun knew that it was Feilan's daughter who was disobedient.

"Oh, every family has scriptures that are hard to recite."

Xie Lun sighed, pulled the quilt over, covered his head and continued to sleep.

Feilan’s breakfast is very simple, two slices of toast with a fried egg sandwiched with a layer of tomato sauce. Although the taste was average, Xie Lun ate up his own portion in order to be polite.

"Sharon," Mike asked Sharon while eating slices of bread, "Can you accompany me to a friend this morning?"

Xie Lun smiled and said, "What kind of friend?"

"Dr. Derek, there are so many spiders in his house." Mike's face changed and he whispered, "but because of those spiders, the people in the town call him a lunatic."

"Spider?" Xie Lun narrowed his eyes. "Then Mike, aren't you afraid of spiders?"

Mike shook his head vigorously: "I think spiders are amazing and cute."

This child definitely has a mental problem.

Xie Lun secretly said in his heart.

Seeing Xie Lun silent, Mike said cautiously: "Xie Lun, are you still afraid of spiders?"

Xie Lun smiled and shook his head: "I'm an adult, you kid are not afraid, I am not afraid anymore."

"Then can you accompany me? Mommy doesn't allow me to go alone. I think she will agree with you."

Xie Lun looked at Feilan, Feilan lowered his head in a panic, not daring to look at Xie Lun at all.

Xie Lun smiled and reached out and patted Mike on the head: "Okay, when will we leave?"

"now."

"Now? Are you full?"

"I'm full already."

Anxious Mike, dragged Sharon and ran out of the house, leaving only the two daughters of Philan and Tina at home.

Seeing Philan sitting there absent-mindedly, both eyes kept peeking out of the window, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Tina's face. He got up and walked forward. Before Feilan could react, he reached out and raised her smooth chin, and said with a smile: "Deputy Sheriff, I think there are some things. Let's talk about it. Are you right?"

"what?"

Phelan looked at Tina with a weird smile, and subconsciously wrapped her collar tightly.

It can be seen that Mike shouldn't have many friends in the town. At least the children of the same age who met on the road, not only ignored Mike, but even stayed far away, seemingly terrified.

And along the way, through Mike's description, Sharon could also hear that the weird man named Derek should be his only good friend.

After all, in the whole town, the same old and young like spiders.

Perhaps this is also the reason why other children are reluctant to play with Mike. After all, in the eyes of many people, creatures like spiders look very scary.

Derek lives in a remote place, on the edge of the swamp. There is no road at the door of the house, there is only a small road that is almost covered by weeds.

Sharon could only park the car to the side of the road, and under the guidance of Mike, walked along this slippery dirt road for nearly half an hour before he saw a few wooden houses.

"Derek, are you up? Come out soon, I'll bring a new friend today."

Mike ran up excitedly and knocked hard on the door for a long time. The wooden door that was covered with moss creaked open, and an old man with gray hair stuck his head out.

Derek's image did not exceed Sharon's imagination, and it fits the look of a scientist obsessed with a certain kind of research. His face is shaggy, his hair is messy, he is wrapped in a nightgown that I don’t know how many years he has not washed, his feet are covered with socks of different colors, and he is wearing two plastic slippers that have been glued...

"Ah, it turned out to be the cutest little Mike, long time no see."

"Um... Derek, we met yesterday, did you forget?"

"Really? Haha...probably," Derek saw Sharon standing behind Mike, his face changed, and he pulled out a shotgun from the doorway and yelled at Sharon, "You, stop. Say, who are you? Did you come to snatch my research results?"

"..."

Xie Lun was a little speechless. If it hadn't been for seeing the shotgun in the hands of the old lunatic, the muzzle had been rusted to death, and he had drawn his gun and had him headshot.

"Derek, stop. He's not a bad guy, he's my friend." Mike kicked Derek hard on the knee, and Roar Roar said, "If you do this, I will never see you again."

"No, I know it's wrong." Derek quickly threw the gun behind the door, and held out his hand at Sharon a little embarrassingly. "So you are Mike's friend. In that case, then you are also my Derek's friend. ."

Seeing that his eyes were dirty, and there were even a few unidentified hairs in his fingernails, Xie Lun had no intention of shaking hands with him. Many spiders are kept, so I plan to come and visit."

"You actually want to come and visit?"

Derek looked at Sharon in disbelief, and after a while, he reacted. I quickly reached out and combed my hair, tidyed my nightgown, and opened the door: "Okay, welcome, warm welcome... After all these years, except Mike, this is the second baby to visit me. People."

Before entering the door, Xie Lun smelled a stench. He took out his handkerchief and covered his nose and mouth, bit his scalp and entered the room. I saw a small light bulb with a low wattage in the dim cabin.

The yellowish light barely illuminates the situation in the wooden house.

The small wooden house is filled with rows of iron shelves on which are stacked various large and small glass boxes. And in these glass boxes, there are all kinds of spiders.

"Ordinary people are mostly afraid of spiders because of their unique appearance, but in fact, after understanding the habits of spiders, they should be more fearful."

Derek was happily at Xie Lun, and walked ahead and introduced: "Do not look down on spiders. They are typical carnivores, and they are very cruel and cunning in preying. According to their predation methods, spiders can be roughly divided into two categories. One is a web-forming spider, and the other is a wandering spider."

"Web-bearing spiders are well understood. This type of spider uses webs to set up traps in the air or on the ground. Once a prey breaks in, the spider will give it a shot of'digestive enzymes', which is quite For anesthetics."

"The prey caught with digestive enzymes will first fall into a state of coma and suspended animation, and then the visceral muscles will gradually liquefy, and then the spider will start to suck the juice from the prey. In the end, the prey will only be left with a shell and what is inside. It's all gone."

Listening to Derek's description, Sharon moved his neck uncomfortably.

"That's scary? In fact, this way of eating is relatively mild, at least the prey will not feel the pain of death. Wandering spiders, hunting is even more terrifying."

As he said, Derek pointed to a glass box next to him: "For example, the tarantula, which is more common in our Americas, is a typical wandering hunter."
