Chapter 293

At dawn, Sharon was awakened by the harsh sound of the motorcycle engine outside the window. Obviously, those motorcycles outside have been modified, and the air wave from the exhaust pipe is particularly harsh. Obviously, there are a group of ghost fire teenagers outside.

"Scarlett, stop... Come back..."

"Bye, mom, you don't have to prepare mine for lunch and dinner."

In a roar of laughter, the sound of the motorcycle engine was loud, accompanied by the deafening "sudden" sound, which quickly went away.

Sharon didn't have to guess. She knew it must be Phelan's daughter who was disobedient and secretly ran away from home and fooled around with some bad people.

"Alas, every family has a difficult Scripture to read."

Sharon sighed, pulled the quilt over her head and continued to sleep.

Filan's breakfast is very simple. Two pieces of toast with a fried egg and a layer of ketchup. Although the taste was average, Sharon ate up her share in order to be polite.

"Sharon," Mike asked Sharon as he ate his bread. "Can you accompany me to a friend this morning?"

Sharon smiled, "what kind of friend?"

"Dr. Derek, he has a lot of spiders in his family." Mike's face changed and whispered, "but because of those spiders, people in the town say he's crazy."

"Spider?" Sharon narrowed her eyes. "Aren't you afraid of spiders, Mike?"

Mike shook his head. "I think spiders are wonderful and lovely."

There's definitely something wrong with the child's psychology.

Sharon said in her heart.

Looking at Sharon's silence, Mike said carefully, "Sharon, are you still afraid of spiders?"

Sharon smiled and shook his head: "I'm an adult. You're not afraid of children. I'm even more afraid."

"Can you go with me? Mom, she doesn't allow me to go alone. I think she should agree with you. "

Sharon looked at Phelan. Phelan looked down in a panic and didn't dare to look at Sharon at all.

Sharon smiled and patted Mike on the head. "OK, when do you start?"

"Now."

"Now? Are you full? "

"I've already had enough."

Anxious Mike took Sharon out of the house, leaving only Phelan and Tina at home.

Looking at Phelan sitting there, absent-minded, her eyes constantly glancing out of the window, Tina suddenly had a strange smile on her face. Get up and walk forward. Before Phelan reacts, he reaches out his hand to lift her smooth chin and says with a smile: "deputy sheriff, I think we have to talk about something. Are you right?"

"Ha?"

Phelan looked at Tina with a strange smile on her face and subconsciously wrapped her collar.

It can be seen that Mike doesn't have many friends in town. At least those children of the same age met on the road not only ignore Mike, but even hide far away. They seem to be very afraid.

Along the way, through Mike's description, Sharon also heard that the strange man named Derek should be his only good friend.

After all, all the people in the town like spiders.

Maybe that's why other children don't want to play with Mike. After all, in the eyes of many people, spiders look very scary.

Derek lives in a remote place, on the edge of the swamp. There is no road at home, only a small path almost covered by weeds.

Sharon could only park the car on the side of the road. Under the guidance of Mike, she walked along this slippery dirt road for nearly half an hour before she saw several wooden houses.

"Derek, are you up? Come out quickly. I'll bring a new friend today. "

Mike ran up excitedly and knocked hard on the door for a long time. The mossy wooden door opened with a "creak", and a gray haired old man put his head out.

Derek's image did not exceed Sharon's imagination and was very much in line with the image of a scientist obsessed with some kind of research. His face is full of stubble, his hair is messy, he is wrapped in a nightgown that has not been washed for many years, his feet are covered with socks of different colors, and he is wearing two plastic slippers that have been opened

"Ah, it's the cutest little Mike. I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Well... Derek, we met yesterday. Did you forget?"

"Really? Ha ha... Probably, "Derek saw Sharon standing behind Mike, his face changed, pulled a shotgun out of the door, pointed at Sharon and yelled," you, stop! Say, who are you? Are you here to rob me of my research? "

“……”

Sharon was speechless. If he hadn't seen the shotgun in the old Madman's hand, the muzzle would have rusted to death. Now he had pulled out the gun and shot him in the head.

"Derek, stop. He is not a bad man, he is my friend. " Mike kicked Derek's knee hard and said angrily, "if you do this again, I'll never come to see you."

"No, I know I'm wrong." Derek quickly threw the gun behind the door and held out his hand to Sharon in embarrassment. "So you're Mike's friend. In that case, you're also my Derek's friend."

Looking at the dirty hands in front of her, even with several unknown hair palms in her fingernail cover, Sharon had no intention of shaking hands. She directly asked, "I heard from Mike that you are an expert on spiders. You raise a lot of spiders at home, so you plan to visit."

"You want to visit?"

Derek looked at Sharon incredulously. It took him a while to react. Quickly reached out and combed his hair, sorted out his nightgown, and opened the door: "OK, welcome, warm welcome... After all these years, except Mike, this is the second person to visit my little babies."

Before entering the door, Sharon smelled a fishy smell. He took out his handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, and hardened his head into the house. In the dark cabin, there was a small light bulb with a low wattage.

The yellowish light barely lit up the situation in the wooden house.

In the small wooden house, there are rows of iron shelves stacked with all kinds of large and small glass boxes. In these glass boxes, there are all kinds of spiders.

"Most of ordinary people's fear of spiders is because of their unique shape, but in fact, after understanding the habits of spiders, they should be more afraid."

Derek walked in front of Sharon and said, "don't look small. Spiders are typical carnivores, and they are very cruel and cunning in predation. According to the way of predation, spiders can be roughly divided into two categories, one is web spiders, and the other is wandering spiders. "

"Web forming spiders are well understood. These spiders use webs to set traps in the air or on the ground. Once prey intrudes, the spider will inject it with a 'digestive enzyme', which is equivalent to an anesthetic. "

"Prey with digestive enzymes will first fall into a state of coma and fake death, and then the visceral muscles begin to liquefy gradually. At this time, the spider will begin to suck the juice in the hunting object. In the end, the prey will only have a shell and nothing in it."

Listening to Derek's description, Sharon moved her neck uneasily.

"Are you afraid? In fact, this way of eating is relatively mild. At least the prey will not feel the pain of death. Wandering spiders, hunting is more terrible. "

With that, Derek pointed to a glass box nearby: "for example, tarantula, which is common in America, is a typical wandering hunting killer."
