Chapter 530: Taking Haibara Ai to the Amusement Park

Takeda Chie stood in front of the puppet warehouse, watching the departing vehicle.

Takeda Shinichi and Takeda Ryuji stood behind her.

"Mother, what did that Onmyoji say? Why are you so distracted?"

"He said the cycle of Heaven is absolute, and retribution is swift—that we haven't passed our trial yet."

Takeda Chie stared blankly at the bronze statue in her hands.

"Heh, the Spider Immortal is gone, what else do we have to fear?"

Takeda Shinichi took the bronze statue and smashed it onto the ground with a *thud*.

The bronze statue wasn't a single piece to begin with, but rather assembled from individual copper plates; upon hitting the ground, it immediately scattered into fragments.

Judging by the quantity, there were likely over a thousand pieces.

As the statue shattered, a sinister aura flew out.

In the distance, the mountain where Misa was buried suddenly went silent.

All sounds on the entire mountain vanished.

Countless round eyes looked toward the same direction.

Then, suddenly, a dense, rustling sound erupted.

Countless spiders crawled out from trees, soil, under rocks, and various other places.

Like a flood, they crawled toward the mountainside, burrowing into caves and arriving at the Spider Immortal's nest.

Guided by the scent of some aura, they rushed into a mud hole on the cave wall.

This mud hole was originally small, only large enough for one person to crawl through.

But as countless spiders rushed in, they widened the hole in an instant.

Countless spiders crawled along the tunnel, expanding the passage as they went, until they finally reached the end.

"Huh? What's that sound?" Standing in front of the puppet warehouse, Takeda Shinichi was slightly stunned.

He looked at his mother and brother, then shifted his gaze downward to his feet.

There, the ground was slightly bulging, forming a small mound of dirt.

*Pop. *

The mound broke.

A spider the size of a fist crawled out, grabbed a fragment, and ran.

"Eh? What's going on? Where did these spiders come from?"

Takeda Shinichi asked, puzzled.

Takeda Chie's heart skipped a beat; looking at the fragments covering the ground, her pupils dilated involuntarily.

"No, it can't be..."

On the ground, one mound after another suddenly rose up, as if the earth itself had been startled and broken out in goosebumps.

Then, countless spiders crawled out.

Some fought over the bronze fragments, while others crawled toward Takeda Shinichi and Takeda Ryuji.

The surrounding ground was boiling, churning with waves of spiders.

A loud *boom* echoed.

An area of several dozen meters suddenly collapsed, sinking into the ground.

Takeda Chie and her two sons screamed loudly as they vanished into the deep, dark hole.

"Huh, did you hear something?"

Toyama Kazuha looked out the window.

The car was just passing the mountainside, offering a view of the entire Takeda estate.

"Eh, why is there a big hole at the Takeda place?"

"Really? Where?"

Akaso Kaze, sitting in the back row, leaned over to ask.

"Right there, look..."

As Toyama Kazuha spoke, she turned her head back.

Akaso Kaze's face was right in front of hers, smiling, and he suddenly captured the girl's small lips.

Toyama Kazuha's eyes immediately turned into dots.

At that moment, the driver was focused on the road, and Hattori Heiji was staring in shock at the disappearing Takeda estate; no one noticed the two in the back were kissing.

However, although no one saw it, two souls were watching.

"Daughter, Lord Akaso seems to like young girls. You have a chance," Kinuyo said with a beaming smile.

Misa blushed, "But, I... I have no experience."

"It's alright, Mother will help you."

Kinuyo patted her high chest, causing the black mist to ripple and sway.

On the weekend, at Haibara's biological research laboratory, Akaso Kaze rang the doorbell.

Not long after, the security door gave a soft *creak*.

Haibara opened the door, saw Akaso Kaze, and let out a signature yawn: "Mm, why are you here?"
