I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 691, Sections 2.5-31: The House of Silk and the Dollhouse (Dream)

Looking at the lifeless doll with its eyes closed, the young man felt a surge of anger. He abruptly swept everything off the table, shouting, "No! This isn't it!! Why won't it work!!!"

The object fell to the ground with a loud thud. He was momentarily stunned and slumped into his chair, staring blankly at the motionless doll in front of him.

He remained silent for a long time before bending down to pick up the hammer that had fallen to the ground.

With his deep blue eyes fixed on the small hammer in his hand, he raised the hammer high with a grim face and smashed it down hard on the doll's head.

With a loud crash, the doll's head was smashed to pieces by the hammer.

He moved his thin lips, quietly looking at his 'masterpiece', then raised his hand to pile the fragments together, and then raised the hammer again to smash them.

The quiet studio was filled only with the crisp sound of hammers smashing plaster shards, which inexplicably added to the somber atmosphere.

A gentle knock sounded on the door.

Joan then slowly stopped what she was doing and said softly, "Come in."

The young butler carried in a small cage covered with a red cloth and respectfully said to the young man, "Master, I have found what you requested."

Joan paused for a moment, then looked up at Ifa, a hint of gloom in her eyes, and said coldly, "Open it."

Long, slender, white fingertips brushed across the dark red velvet cloth, and the next second the cloth floated lightly to the ground, revealing a small, round, white spider that was currently sleeping on its web.

"This?" Joan frowned as she looked at the tiny spider in the cage. Could a spider the size of a fingernail really produce the silk he needed?
"This is the Saqilan White Spider, born in the Garden of Eden, or perhaps it is the mother of all spiders," Ifa introduced with a light laugh.

“I imagined it would be bigger and scarier, but I didn’t expect it to be so small and harmless.” Joan gestured for Ifa to come closer, and he said in a low voice with a frown.

“That’s because it hasn’t eaten since it was born,” Ifa said with a slight chuckle, her eyes lowered.

His lips curved into a perfect arc, as if measured by a ruler, and his long, narrow eyes, as deep as amethyst, gleamed with a sharp and dangerous light.

He stopped in front of Qiong and reached out to open the lid.

The next second, the white spider spat out a tough silk thread and came to Joan's front, biting his face hard while Joan was stunned.

After it bit her, Joan's face felt as if something had been injected into it, causing her skin to become bumpy and uneven, followed by intense pain, "Aaaaaah—"

Joan reached out to grab it, but it seemed to be rooted to the spot and she couldn't move it an inch no matter how hard she tried.

"Iphar!!!" Joan glared angrily at Iphar, but closed her eyes after the white spider completely merged into her body and finally collapsed.

Ifa looked down at the young man lying on the ground, a perfect smile still on his lips, but his eyes were exceptionally cold, as if he were looking at a dead object.

"The Sachilan White Spider, the Mother of All Spiders, parasitizes the human body and survives on desire, while those parasitized become puppets controlled by the Spider Mother. Young Master, I came to fulfill your wish, and now it has been fulfilled."

Standing outside the door and peeking through the crack, Xin Bai was so angry he wanted to stomp his feet. He never expected that he would merge with the Spider Mother so soon after arriving, making it impossible for him to kill the Spider Mother alone. However, the good thing was that he now knew the Spider Mother's true form was inside Qiong's body, but he had no idea how to force it out.

He knew that rushing in now would be futile, and it was impossible for him to actually kill Qiong. After all, Ming Jin had warned him before coming to this instance not to even think about killing Qiong, because if Qiong died, everyone in this instance would die. Since he couldn't kill Qiong, the Spider Mother would definitely force her to do it in another way.

It's a pity the signal is down now, otherwise he would have liked to ask Ming Jin and Daolin how to force the Spider Mother out.

As he pondered, the scene slowly disappeared, and he returned to the room he had been in.

Xin Bai glanced around, and finally couldn't resist clenching his fist and punching the floor.

A crisp 'thump' sound reached my ears.

The faint footsteps grew closer, followed by a slightly mocking, cold voice, "Isn't this the kitten? What are you doing here?" "Lanlos," Xin Bai turned to look at the newcomer, wary.

Lanlos walked over to a single sofa and sat down, casually saying, "Don't be wary of me. I'm trapped here just like you."

"Are you alone too?" Xin Bai asked softly as he slowly stood up after seeing that there were no other two people.

“I wasn’t paying attention and the prey escaped. My men are chasing it now.” Lanlos looked down at his fingers, his expression cryptic.

"So you're bored right now, do you want to come inside with me?" Xin Bai said, pursing his lips.

Lanlos glanced at Xin Bai and said, "No, why should I participate in your dungeon?"

Xin Bai looked up at Lanlos, as if trying to see another expression on his face. "But I just saw Ifa behind the door."

Lanlos snorted and said, "I only brought Dionysus and Jafar with me. Ipha is still approving documents for me in the Unbelievable World. The fact that he's behind the door only means he's been here before. Don't try to pin everything on me. I won't admit to things I didn't do."

"You haven't sent Ifa here?" Xin Bai frowned and asked again.

"You're overthinking it. I've only been able to move around freely since this year. Before that, I've been sleeping the whole time, all thanks to Daolin." As he spoke, Lanlos's face grew colder and colder, his tone filled with sarcasm.

Xin Bai: "..." So, it turns out that Ifa's matter has nothing to do with Lanlos?

“I have a question. What is Eden?” Xin Bai asked again, recalling what Yifa had just said.

Lanlos frowned slightly and asked, "Where did you hear that word?"

“Just now, in Ifa’s mouth.” Xin Bai blinked her cat-like eyes innocently and said.

"Since you are also the Crown Prince of the Mysterious Kingdom, I can tell you. Mysterious beings return to Eden after death, and then return from Eden to the Mysterious Kingdom. Its function is similar to the Ghost Realm of the Gourmet Kingdom, but unlike the Ghost Realm, which is another omnipresent void, Eden is a real place on the map of the Mysterious Kingdom, and can be called the source of all life. Eden is a forbidden area of ​​the Mysterious Kingdom. Entering or leaving without my permission is a violation of the highest law of the Mysterious Kingdom. I hope you will not have any inappropriate curiosity."

At this point, Lanlos glanced sideways at Xin Bai and asked again, "Did you understand?"

Xin Bai nodded blankly to indicate that he understood, but in reality he didn't understand at all.

Lanlos: "..." How could he have such a stupid crown prince!
"Then... will life in the Garden of Eden die?" Xin Bai thought for a long time, and finally could only think of this question.

Lanlos lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "No, the nature of Eden is immortality. As long as they are still in Eden and have not truly returned to the Unfathomable, they are immortal. They can be said to have life and they can also be said not to have life. Such an ambiguous existence has no concept of death."

"Are those captured from Eden the same?" Xin Bai asked again.

"I told you that it's a forbidden area, and no creature that hasn't truly returned from Eden will die, not even those that were captured from Eden," Lanlos said impatiently, lifting his eyelids.

Then he suddenly realized something, and Lanlos stood up abruptly, saying coldly, "Something has been found out!"

Congratulations to Xinbai for acquiring a foreign player: Lanlos.

Xin Bai is the crown prince of the Kingdom of the Unbelievable. Although Lanlos is a dog, he is still good to his own crown prince (pfft!). Dao Lin is the crown prince of the Kingdom of Sin and is not included.

Previously, when Xin Bai and Lan Luosi made a deal, Lan Luosi largely agreed because both Xin Bai and Ming Jin were crown princes of the Mysterious Kingdom. If either of them had not been a crown prince of the Mysterious Kingdom, the story would have been completely different.

I've only written about one instance of the Food Kingdom, which most of you aren't familiar with. You can try to imagine it. The Ghost Realm is a specialty of the Food Kingdom. I'll explain the Ghost Realm in detail next time I write about the Food Kingdom's instances.

Only the crown prince of the Gourmet Kingdom and seasoned players know about the 'Ghost Realm', because not all dungeons are related to it; at least the Paper Cutting dungeon doesn't have any 'Ghost Realm' content.

Although it hasn't appeared, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Lanlos also said that the Ghost Realm is everywhere. You can look back at the introduction of Rongyi in the paper-cut; the title that appeared then actually hinted at it.
