Song Lei had been living his life in poverty and taking care of his younger sister until that day. After losing his life at the hands of his drug-addict father, Song Lei was transmigrated into the city of horrors. In the city of horrors where an uncountable amount of monsters and ghosts reside; Song Lei has to use his wits to survive and find a way to go back to his sister... "Are those authentic ghost repelling talismans on the wall?" "Yes. Yes, they are." "So? Why is there a ghost standing right next to it? Do you think he is being repelled?" "Nope. Not even a little bit. Oh look, he's coming toward us." "Well, that can't be good..."
"Come. Take a look," Aston said.
Raising one of his brows, Song Lei walked to Aston's side skeptically and looked into the cut that Aston had made on the trainee's nape.
"What the fuck..?" Song Lei muttered while looking into the cut. It wasn't that deep, at most half a centimeter... However, there was a small black dot in the cut, seemingly bound to the trainee's spine.
After seeing the black dot, Song Lei got a bit closer to inspect it more carefully. After bringing his face close enough to be able to smell the faint blood smell, Song Lei was able to identify what the black dot was.
"It's a spider..?" He muttered.
In answer, Aston nodded and said, "Indeed. It's definitely a spider. One that controls the body."
"Is it like soul worms?" Song Lei said. He was about to touch the spider, however, he decided that it wouldn't be a good idea to do so. He stopped his hand and kept looking at it from far away.
