Chapter 78: On a dark and windy night, humans and gods compete with each other, who will win?
The night was lonely, and the waning moon hung high in the sky, emitting a faint light.

The clouds were low and the wind was cold.

A bell rang from the port of the capital, and a cold wind suddenly blew, carrying the sounds of fighting and shouting from Noxian soldiers in the distance.

Niam stood on the roof of the mansion, wrapping his robe tightly around him. The biting cold penetrated his clothes and attacked every inch of his skin.

He looked up at the sky.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Um.
It's time to take action!

"Emm, here comes another one to get killed."

"I feel like he's a little bit special. His past experiences seem a bit like the protagonist template."

"Moreover, he has the Ascended Obsidian Blade in his hand. Do you think this is a foreshadowing?"

"you mean"

"He's here to put an end to Elise?"

"I think it's possible, otherwise why would Su Shen write the latter part?"

"It's funny. A thief talks so loudly to you, but he's just a mortal after all. I'm ashamed if he can punish Iris."

"On a dark and windy night, humans and gods compete with each other. Who will win?"

""I heard.""

"The thief is approaching."

"His footsteps landed on the eaves, softly and steadily, and his footsteps were placed very carefully, but they stirred the air in the room."

""With the power of the Spider God's bloodline enhanced, my perception is so sharp.""

"From the moment he arrived at this mansion, his figure could no longer be hidden."

"At this point in time, I have just returned from the foggy island. I am physically exhausted and mentally tired."

"When I think about dealing with this ignorant little thief, my anger grows even more intense."

"But suddenly."

"When I stretched out my slender body, I smelled a different scent on him."

"It was a soul kissed by the yellow sand, with smoky skin."

""as well as--""

"He has a very fine bloodline of an ancient emperor in his body."

"Children from the Desert"

"She hired him?"

""interesting.""

"Although he will eventually be eaten alive by me, I decided to play with him for a while before that."

Amid the layers of dark shadows, bursts of light rustling sounds could be heard quietly.

There were countless tiny insect legs and hundreds of smooth bodies moving on the floor.

The moisture on the wall condensed into water droplets and slowly slid down. Thousands of eyes flickered in the darkness, these eyes were full of greed and cunning.

It was like a group of hungry beasts, waiting for the arrival of their prey.

Surrounded by this dense group of little spiders, her voice was as elegant and sticky as that of an aristocrat.

"It will be fine soon, my little cuties!"

She said softly, with a playful and cunning tone in her voice, "Let us play with this little prey for a while."

She seemed to be able to feel their greed for human flesh and blood, it was an urgent need, an irresistible impulse.

"Tsk tsk, I've been discovered!"

"Just tell me, how can a mere mortal be a match for the Spider God's Servant Iris?"

"If Iris hadn't deliberately let him go, Niamh would have become a cold corpse by now."

"Little thief, haha, you dare to anger my Spider sister, you are finished."

"Is the bloodline of this ancient emperor hinting at something?"

"And what about that sentence about her hiring someone?"

"What do you mean?"

"The plot has not been revealed yet, so keep reading."

“I don’t understand.”

“When I climbed down the chimney on the roof, the noise I made didn’t alarm anyone in the mansion.”

"And what's even weirder is this."

"It's as quiet as a tomb."

"After suppressing my uneasiness, I quickly went deeper into the room." "I found that the house seemed to be completely abandoned. The windows, tables and chairs were covered with dust, and tiles and broken wood were scattered on the floor."

"It can be vaguely seen."

"I heard a faint hissing sound around me again."

"This strange feeling makes my whole body creepy, as if I'm being stared at by some terrifying being."

"I consoled myself that it was an illusion that the cold wind was blowing through the window, and then it quickly passed through a crack in the door."

"Look what I found!"

“This is a restaurant.”

"In the middle was a long, thin dining table, on which was placed a sumptuous dinner."

““Patterned china and silverware were neatly laid out, with plates piled high with frosted, dusty fruit and steaks.”

““Gugu——”

"Seeing the food makes me feel hungry, but can I still eat these things?"

“I don’t think I’ll try.”

"After further exploration, I found a silver tray with a large lid in the middle of the dining table."

“What’s in here?”

"I'm curious and I'm going to open it and take a look."

Ding-ding-ding

Niamh reached out and knocked on the silver lid, which made a crisp sound.

"It should be empty inside."

he thought to himself.

So, there was no defense.

He reached out and lifted the lid.

A rotten smell hit Niamh's nose, and he almost vomited.

He covered his mouth and nose with disgust, but before he could take the next step.

Followed by.

A dense group of creatures spread out from the pile of rotten beef, forming a large black mass.

"what--"

He was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground.

There were hundreds of tiny spiders no bigger than his fingernail.

Startled by the sudden brightness, they spread down from the edge of the table and fled in all directions like a wriggling wave.

In panic, the dinner plate slipped from his trembling fingers and fell to the ground with a thud.

The sound of the landing echoed in the empty and silent old house, deafening.

After taking a breath, Niamh covered his pounding heart, and nervously, he immediately grasped the sword on his back with one hand.

"Stupid, your hands are really nasty."

Niamh cursed to himself.

Because he was afraid that the noise might alarm the owner of the room, he quickly hid behind a window with drawn curtains and immersed himself in the darkness.

He was on edge, waiting for the consequences of his stupid behavior.

Can.
A long time passed.

There was no change in the surrounding environment, and the whole room became even quieter.

But he had a feeling that something unknown was beside him.

Hiding in the air, watching his every move.

He glanced around nervously; the walls, the floor, the roof... everything seemed empty.

Another few seconds passed.

There was no movement, and Niam let out a sigh of relief. "It's as quiet as an ancient tomb in the desert!"

He was sure.

No one is here.

This is a completely abandoned mansion.

the other side.

Iris had crawled out of her dark cellar nest, followed by a dense swarm of small spiders, heading towards the restaurant.
