Chapter 433: Chapter 258: Black Cocoon’s Grandfather / The Difference Between Swallowing Silver Mice
Got to admit, this was the first time Black Cocoon saw Swallowing Silver’s face beneath the mask. Swallowing Silver had thick eyebrows and big eyes, much like a righteous black bear.
"As expected, the idol filter shatters easily once you get too close. Sir Swallowing Silver, I think you’re better off with your helmet on."
Black Cocoon said this while shaking his head and quickly removed the silver helmet from his own head.
Returning it to its owner, he strapped the helmet back onto Swallowing Silver with a restraint belt, covering his face.
"Black Cocoon, you... what the hell do you want?!" Swallowing Silver shouted furiously, "Why not just kill me instead of taunting me over and over? What’s the point of all this?"
The bitterness in his heart remained unsaid; he’d had enough of the time when each meeting meant getting mocked by this gigantic moth. Yet, this guy, who started at just a mere lieutenant rank, had grown incredibly strong within just half a month!
Black Cocoon nodded slightly, placed a hand against his chest, and said, as if reciting poetry:
"Because... I am deeply in love with Swallowing Silver mouse."
"Get lost!"
"Alright! Truth is, Mr. Swallowing Silver, I’m about to leave Li Jing City!"
"I better not see you again!" Swallowing Silver, trapped like a maggot in a cocoon, rolled around, eager to bite this shadowy fellow to death.
Black Cocoon ignored his roars and continued talking to himself, filled with emotion:
"So, I always felt that you’d greatly miss me in the days I’m not around, which is why I made time amidst my busy schedule to come and see you one last time."
At this point, Black Cocoon paused, raised a finger, "Sir often says that sometimes, those things we find noisy or annoying on a daily basis, once they disappear silently one day, you’d end up missing them... quickly spiraling into a deep melancholy."
Having said that, he gently wept, peeling out a small rag from the restraint belt.
He removed his sunglasses, wiping his eyes with the restraint belt, looking pitifully like Lin Daiyu shedding tears.
"Get out of here!" Swallowing Silver had enough, "You disgusting bug! Stop pretending to act gross!"
"I get it, it has to be that my sincerity isn’t enough." Realization dawned on Black Cocoon, "So, here’s my final artwork for Swallowing Silver mouse..."
He put away the rag, put back on his sunglasses, peeled off the restraint belt on his right hand, and pulled out a sketchbook and pencil from it, completing the rough sketch he left last time.
Swallowing Silver stared wide-eyed at him, uncertain what this huge moth was up to this time.
"Watch closely; this is the final masterpiece from Swallowing Silver’s number one fan. Even if you’re across the ocean, seeing this artwork will remind you of me."
Serious as he was, Black Cocoon slowly flipped the sketchbook around.
The setting sun tilted westward, the distant mountains turned red, and Swallowing Silver mouse, clutching a broken Blue Arc battery, stood atop a mountain, raising his furry head with resolute eyes, shedding torrents of tears while murmuring, "Invincibility is so, so lonely."
"Just die already!"
Swallowing Silver’s eyes were bloodshot with impotent rage.
Black Cocoon remained silent for quite a while before placing the artwork into Swallowing Silver’s arms, saluting him, "Oh, by the way, I’ll be borrowing your superpowers."
As the words fell, he stole Swallowing Silver’s superpower.
Frightening fangs grew on the pitch black restraint belt, making it a nightmare for anyone with trypophobia, as each mouth on the belt was yearning to feed on metal.
[Superpower Stealing has been activated, Superpower User "Swallowing Silver’s" superpower has been stored in the restraint belt, with a validity of 48 hours.]
Black Cocoon looked down at the restraint belt where the menacing mouths opened and closed, nodding with satisfaction.
"Oh wow, this is really cool, so goodbye, Mr. Swallowing Silver."
With that said, the restraint belt covering his body turned transparent again, silently blending him into the air.
"You bastard, at least set me free first—!"
Swallowing Silver froze, looking up at the empty space, powerless cries echoing from the giant cocoon restraint belt, resounding through the neighborhood.
Shortly after, Swallowing Silver, tied to the ground by the restraint belt, crawled madly like a maggot, trying to avoid the public’s gaze; this scene spread across the entire internet in just a day.
