Chapter 81 Human-Faced Spider
On the other side of the forest, Zenitsu trembled as he looked at the house suspended in mid-air by spider silk, swallowing hard.
The door hanging in the air was now directly facing Zenitsu.
The door creaked as the night breeze gently blew through it.
Zenitsu's nerves immediately tensed up. His eyes were fixed on the door, tears welled up in his eyes, and his teeth were clenched tightly together.
[This must be a lie, no kind person would leave their house hanging in mid-air!]
Zenitsu kept complaining in his mind, but his eyes remained fixed on the house without blinking.
Be constantly vigilant about what monsters might emerge from inside.
But as time passed, the house remained motionless.
Even the door to that room showed no sign of opening.
After a long time, a sparrow landed on Zenitsu's head.
"Ugh! What the hell is that?!"
The moment the sparrow touched Zenitsu, Zenitsu trembled as if he had been electrocuted, waving his hands frantically above his head.
Chutaro was also helpless against Zenitsu's appearance, and could only fly up to avoid Zenitsu's hands.
But seeing that Zenitsu showed no sign of stopping, it immediately swooped down and pecked Zenitsu hard on the forehead with its beak.
"Ouch, that hurts!!!!"
Zenitsu immediately cried out in pain, clutching his head and squatting down. After a while, he opened his eyes and saw Chutaro angrily flapping his wings and looking at him.
"Chitaro?"
Zenitsu recognized the special Kasugai crow that belonged to him and immediately grabbed Chutaro in his hands, hiding him in his arms.
"You're alright, that's great! This place is terrifying, let's get out of here!"
Chutaro laboriously squeezed out of Zenitsu's arms and landed on his head.
Zenitsu ignored him and kept looking around, preparing to leave.
But as soon as he took a step, a "plop" sound came from under his feet.
Zenitsu was taken aback, then slowly looked down. But what he saw shocked and angered him!
"Where did all these spiders come from! But excuse me, I stepped on you, could you please move aside?"
A circle of small white spiders appeared around Zenitsu's feet.
Zenitsu could only grumble, then tiptoed out of the spider's encirclement.
"Phew! My bad, I accidentally stepped on a few little spiders. I hope no one will blame me!"
Zenitsu patted his chest, mourning the spiders that had been trampled to death.
But just as he was about to lift his foot and continue walking, he felt as if something had pricked his hand.
He was about to look down at his hand when he noticed the little spiders swarming around him again, causing him to ignore the stings he had received.
Zenitsu, seeing the spiders swarming around him, had no choice but to take larger steps and carefully dodge them, but each time he dodged, the spiders would swarm around him again.
As he dodged, the spiders swarmed around him.
After repeating this more than ten times, Zenitsu quickly ran several steps and finally managed to widen the distance.
Just when Zenitsu thought he had completely escaped the spiders, he heard a "rustling" sound behind him.
Zenitsu's face darkened, his anger rising, and he suddenly turned around and shouted, pointing behind him.
"Enough! So what if I trampled a few of my own kind to death? I've already apologized, and you still want...!!!!!!!!!"
The second half of the sentence got stuck in his throat, Zenitsu's pupils shrank, and his blood seemed to freeze.
The little spider behind him was gone! It was a monster with a human head and eight spider tentacles growing from its neck, staring at him menacingly!
"Are you kidding me?! There's actually such a monstrous thing in the world?!"
Zenitsu's face was contorted with fear, his expression so exaggerated it was almost distorted, and he pointed at the monster and screamed incoherently.
"No!"
With a scream from Zenitsu, he immediately turned and ran, with Chutaro chasing closely behind him.
"This can't be real, this can't be real, this can't be real!"
Zenitsu muttered to himself, his horrified expression making it impossible for him to believe it was real!
"That's a human face! A spider with a human face! This is a dream, it must be a dream. If it's a dream, who can wake me up!"
However, Zenitsu didn't realize that he had actually been circling around the house the whole time and hadn't actually run away.
The human-faced spider just watched silently as Zenitsu ran around in circles, crying and screaming.
Just as the house was suspended in mid-air, the door suddenly opened. Zenitsu, with his keen hearing, heard the sound of the door opening and immediately stopped.
"Ugh!!! Ugh, I've been spinning around in circles here!"
Zenitsu looked at the familiar surroundings and covered his mouth in surprise, unable to believe it.
"It's so noisy!"
A lazy voice came from inside the house, and Zenitsu then turned his gaze to the house that had remained silent.
The next second, a human-faced spider, about the same size as Zenitsu, with its tail wrapped in spider silk, slowly dangled into the air, its eight hairy tentacles opening and closing at its sides, exuding a terrifying ferocity.
Zenitsu's eyes rolled back, nearly fainting on the spot, and he screamed at the top of his lungs, "Ah!!! It's so big!"
"It's so noisy," the spider-faced man snapped impatiently.
"Ah!! A talking spider with a human face!" Zenitsu's voice rose another octave.
"...Are you an idiot?"
"Ah!! The spider with a human face is calling me... Huh?" Zenitsu's scream stopped abruptly, and he froze, looking completely bewildered.
"He really is an idiot." The spider-faced man's tone was full of disdain.
[Idiot? Who is it calling an idiot? Is it talking about me?]
At that moment, several commas appeared above Zenitsu's head as he stared blankly at the human-faced spider.
After a long while, Zenitsu finally came to his senses, gritted his teeth, and pointed at the human-faced spider.
"You're the idiot, your whole family are idiots, you look like an idiot, you act like an idiot, you're a hanging spider-faced idiot!"
The spider-faced man was also stunned, his eyes widening as he stared blankly at Zenitsu.
It never expected that this terrified human would dare to point at it and curse.
An awkward silence fell over the scene.
Chutaro huddled atop Zenitsu's head, his little head bobbing up and down, his tiny eyes filled with question marks as he stared blankly at the human and the ghost.
Zenitsu froze after he finished cursing, his angry expression instantly vanished, his demeanor became extremely unnatural, and his eyes darted away, unable to look directly at the human-faced spider.
[Am I insane? I actually provoked a spider with a human face! I'm absolutely insane! Utterly insane!]
Zenitsu looked miserable, cursing himself in his heart, and then took a step and tried to run away.
However, the spider-faced man also noticed Zenitsu's change, and a mocking look appeared on his face as he spoke to Zenitsu.
"You can't escape!"
