Chapter four hundred and eighty second: The child does not speak strangely
Zhu Tong was not called Zhu Tong in the past. She had no name, not even a fixed title.
She looks like a child now, and she has always looked like that since the distant past. But in fact, she has lived for a long time, longer than Xie Yan, who looks older. Maybe she will still be alive when Satsuki-kun is still a human.
She already existed before she was born. But she always looks like a child and never grows up.
Zhu Tong was a bad monster without a name, a very bad monster. But all bad monsters grow up from little monsters - and little monsters are not necessarily bad, just like human children are not necessarily bad.
Good. Whether a person is "good by nature" or evil in the beginning is mostly determined by what kind of people his parents are. Since we use the words good and bad in human words, then, like humans, whether a demon is born good or bad is also determined by what kind of person his parents are.
Determined by the circumstances that come into the world.
Zhu Tong has no name because she has no parents to give her a name. Without parents, there is no one to teach her what is good or bad. However, not having parents is common in the world of monsters, and it is not unusual. After all, in a country full of war, hunger and
In the age of disease, many human beings have no parents. Not to mention ordinary animals, nature is always cruel. If you are not strong, you will be eaten by the strong. Survival of the fittest is a matter of course.
Zhu Tong is lucky, but not so lucky at the same time. Her mother is a spider demon who has become a spirit, while her father is just a spider with no name and no need for a name, that is, an ordinary insect. That is why Zhu Tong
Her appearance has never been completely like a normal human being, but she has retained many characteristics of a spider. For example, her eight eyes without the whites of her eyes, and her several deformed limbs that are difficult to hide. To maintain the human form
, you need to put in more demon power than others.
Perhaps it was because her mother was not an orthodox youkai in the first place, so when choosing a mate, she would take a closer look at the class she had stayed in. Discrimination among youkai was more common, and she should have chosen a more powerful mate to
Her offspring are more adapted to this cruel nature, but if no one likes her, she can't force her. If those strong people are willing to choose weaker targets as their lovers, they probably want to take the opportunity to eat them.
In order to save her life, she chose a weak husband, a real insect - of course, he should be somewhat spiritual. But what happened after that was hard to say. She had to take care of her children alone. The habits of spiders are...
She lays her eggs in a bag woven with spider silk and waits for them to hatch successfully. During this period, she can only stay alone in the nest. There is no source of food, and even drink can only be caught in the moist air with a net.
of water. Her body was weakening day by day.
Zhu Tong was the last one to hatch, and her eggs were naturally small. But like her siblings, she grew up very quickly. After crawling out of the egg shell and bag, she was able to stand up on her eight legs and walk in the nest in a short time.
It's just that she was born too late, and her brothers and sisters had already left here and walked into the outside world. No one paid attention to her. It would be better to say that they didn't eat her unhatched body as food. It was a great blessing. Naturally, they didn't
Leave too much food for her.
In a place where their mothers didn't have much food, the only thing that could be called food was...
Although cruel, it does happen everywhere in the world. The first time she saw her mother, she was already beyond recognition and was riddled with holes by her own children. The softest human internal organs in the upper body and the cavity of the spider in the lower body were all
hollowed out
, there was not much human skin left. She could not recognize her mother's appearance at all, because her face was so soft. The remaining bones belonging to humans and spiders barely supported her final outline. There were also her long hair, and
Her threads are just as strong.
She will not be afraid of this - fear will only grow if she is taught that something is worth fearing. She only knows that this thing that is corrupt but still exudes a fragrant smell is her mother. This is the instinct of living things. She is alone
She got into her mother's skeletal arms, as if being hugged, a different kind of warmth surged from her heart. She didn't even know what this feeling was called, she just felt that the residual warmth of flesh and blood remained.
The embrace is so worth cherishing.
Then with this nameless emotion, she ate the remaining part of her mother.
Everything is a matter of course, and there should be no surprises. She will eventually leave the dark nest and go to the wider world. Then she will leave her mother - and she will only stay here.
It's just a waste. If she wants to leave, she needs more nutrients to turn into strength. After absorbing the remaining demon power, she can turn into a human appearance. Although she still looks ordinary, she
After all, he got out of the nest on two legs.
She makes a living by deceiving human children. She finds a cave similar to the place where she was born, sets up her own net, and then disguises herself as a human to approach the children who have left home. This disguise can only last for one day at most, and there are many
The demonic power of many will soon fade away when night falls, revealing her original inhuman and terrifying appearance. She plays and plays with them, and when it gets dark, she takes them back to her place of residence - and then eats them.
.
Not every child is so easy to deceive. When she gets a little older, she will develop scheming ideas and even run back to inform the adults. At that time, she has to move away from here and look for her next place to live. Generally, she can afford to leave home and move around.
There are no children who are smart enough not to be deceived by her. They are about three to eight years old, and her image does not exceed this age. Children are always full of spirituality, which makes her grow a lot.
But that's not enough for her. If she wants to live a better life, she must imitate humans skillfully. Just focusing on children is not a long-term solution. She also needs to learn more things from normal people. Because humans
There are too many of them, they are everywhere... She should find a way to sneak in and survive. Otherwise, she will be killed. She knows that
How adults deal with monsters is either clever or cruel. Even if they can't defeat those big monsters, the terrifying number of humans is enough to swamp them and make them fall apart. She feels that humans killing monsters is more terrifying than monsters killing people. They may even kill monsters.
Make the remains of the monsters into various things, trade them, and show them off. Monsters are not so cruel.
Then she came up with a brilliant idea.
Eat the adults' children first, and then pretend to be children. Learn how to be a child, learn how to play the role of an adult, and when you really can't pretend anymore or are too hungry, you can eat the adults too.
Since the demon power is strong, she can last longer. This is really a good way to have both worlds, and she can always feel happy about her cleverness.
She thought so, and did it, many times. But she couldn't hold on for a long time, because she couldn't help but expose her flaws. Or there was some expert in slaying demons and demons nearby, so she had no choice but to
Run away as soon as possible. After doing this for many years, she already knows how to be a child.
At what time is it more lovable to act coquettishly, and how to pretend to be pitiful to win sympathy... She knows the time, method, and different techniques for different people. She thought, she is already very good at being a child, but how can she
I can't even find the first feeling - the first feeling of being in the arms of my mother's remains.
Human embraces are certainly beautiful. They are soft, warm, and filled with the aroma of food. Maybe it’s because they are not her mother after all, or maybe they are her living mother. She also tried to take them away and bring them back to her nest, etc.
They rotted quietly and then got into the cold embrace again. The feeling of being worthy of nostalgia came back, but it could not last long. Even if she could bear the hunger, the body would soon be decomposed.
Those children...those happy children, they said, all grew up under the love of their mothers. She could never feel this emotion, because it wouldn't be long before these women would scream because of her extra eyes or limbs.
Scream. That scream was so harsh that it disturbed her.
It will give them a headache and cause more trouble. Taking action before attracting more people is an effective way to quiet them quickly. Then they will die, and they will never cook unpalatable meals or give food to them again.
Without a warm hug, there will no longer be whispers in the ear every night.
Living mothers cannot accept her for long, and dead mothers cannot love her for long.
Until one day, she met such a mother.
She is invisible.
The better news is that she has no husband, and she lives alone with her daughter. In other words, wandering. Her daughter is as big as she is now and is in her prime. A woman's daughter is her crutch, her eyes,
Her hope. She just deceived a girl who was fetching water at first, until at night, a somewhat crazy woman appeared by the river. The woman called a name, which was not nice and not at the level of a wealthy family. So
Then she knew that Bai
The girl Tian ate was her child. Zhu Tong thought that this was another good opportunity, so he transformed into that girl, put on her clothes and went to get close to that crazy woman.
The woman was unprepared and did not realize that the child in front of her was a monster. When Zhu Tong realized that she was blind, she was so happy that she did not even need to use a little extra strength to maintain her human appearance. This was absolutely
With the best learning opportunities, she can better understand how human mothers are mothers. The boring life in the past can finally be over, she thought. The new life can last for a long, long time, as long as she is willing, it can even last as long as
until the end of human life.
She naturally becomes a woman's new crutch, new eyes, and new hope.
