Hidden Moth is an identity that can be inherited.
The way each Hidden Moth uses its abilities and explores the Hidden Moth Space differs, and the experiences passed down from the previous generation of Hidden Moth are also very important.
Zhou Du, while in the detention center, passed on the identity of Hidden Moth to Huang Cankui, who is Huang Si’s father. They too were childhood friends who grew up together, sowhat similar to He Kao and Huang Xiaopang today.
Huang Xiaopang didn’t know the specific process; the information he had ca from what his father told him.
At that ti, Huang Cankui was not yet the director but just a staff mber. It is said that Zhou Du seed aware that his days were numbered and revealed his biggest secret to him.
Zhou Du also entrusted Huang Cankui with taking care of his family, especially his young son.
That’s why later Huang Xiaopang’s family took special care of He Kao, even setting up a bunk bed in Xiaopang’s bedroom and leaving a bed for He Kao.
When Zhou Du died, he was imprisoned, and He Kao was only five years old, so he definitely couldn’t pass on the identity of Hidden Moth to his son, and thus gave it to his childhood friend Huang Cankui.
As for what else Zhou Du told Huang Cankui, like whether to pass on the Hidden Moth identity to He Kao in the future or to have Huang Cankui do other things, the later Director Huang never ntioned it to Xiaopang.
Perhaps there was sothing, perhaps not; when Huang Xiaopang asked Huang Cankui at that ti, Huang Cankui avoided the topic, excusing ti constraints.
In any case, Huang Cankui instructed his son to always look after He Kao in everything, as their family owed He Kao’s father a great favor.
Such favor referred not only to the inheritance of the Hidden Moth identity; before this, Zhou Du had also helped Huang Cankui a lot, even saving his life, but Huang Cankui was vague about this.
As for the way Hidden Moth is inherited, one could say it’s a kind of ritual ceremony. Huang Xiaopang has personally experienced it; it requires both formal procedures and essential content.
Formally, it involves two steps —
First, place one’s Hidden Moth Object together with the Hidden Moth Object chosen by the inheriting party, the specific thod being to use a circle to encase them, with no importance on who encases whom.
Second, the Hidden Moth inheritance ceremony must be conducted in the real world, where Hidden Moth must tell the successor the location of the Hidden Moth Gate left in the real world.
Once Hidden Moth tells the inheriting party the location of the gate they’ve left, it marks the completion of the inheritance ceremony.
The inheriting party, by entering the Hidden Moth World through the gate left by the previous Hidden Moth, signals the birth of a new Hidden Moth.
The content involves the Hidden Moth formally telling the inheriting party their identity and the abilities associated with it. This is a necessary part, and from the perspective of completing the inheritance, rely stating these is enough.
If the two have a good relationship, Hidden Moth can share more information with the inheriting party, including various personal experiences, like many things Huang Xiaopang says to He Kao at this mont.
If Hidden Moth dies before they have the chance to pass on the identity to the next person, what would happen? Hidden Moth will not disappear; another person will automatically acquire the Hidden Moth identity.
No one can pinpoint the pattern; perhaps this person obtains the Hidden Moth Object left in the world by the forr, or maybe it’s so inexplicable chance. In essence, it’s as if the Hidden Moth’s spirit finds a new host.
Zhou Du beca Hidden Moth in such a way; Huang Cankui did not explain much to his son, perhaps Zhou Du also didn’t explain it in detail.
Zhou Du only said that when he was young, he picked sothing up by the riverbank, and it seed he received so kind of call... finally finding the gate to the Hidden Moth Space deep within Bai Ma Mountain, thus becoming the Hidden Moth.
That’s why Huang Xiaopang said the Hidden Moth Object can’t be taken away, and even if others get it, it’s of no use. Should soone kill Hidden Moth, sooner or later another Hidden Moth will appear again.
But one thing is certain: killing Hidden Moth and taking the Hidden Moth Object will not make them Hidden Moth, as perhaps Hidden Moth’s spirit would never choose its enemy.
Thus, Hidden Moth has two inheritance thods: natural inheritance and designated inheritance. Zhou Du beca Hidden Moth through natural inheritance. When he passed it to Huang Cankui, it was done through a designated inheritance as per ceremony requirents.
There’s also a minor issue where the designated inheritance ceremony might fail, indicating the inheritor doesn’t gain recognition from the Hidden Moth Space, but Huang Cankui and his son didn’t encounter this situation.
Zhou Du didn’t undergo the designated inheritance ceremony, so how did he know its form and content? According to himself, at the mont he beca Hidden Moth, he seed to have undergone such a ceremony, the experience felt surreal.
Huang Cankui didn’t have experiences like Zhou Du; what he knew about the inheritance ceremony was taught by Zhou Du, and he also taught his son Huang Si.
Upon completion of the inheritance ceremony, the original Hidden Moth would lose its Invisibility Ability and the mory of being Hidden Moth, reverting back to being a regular person in the world.
At this point, Huang Xiaopang pointed towards the direction of the secret room and said: "I’ve left the Hidden Moth Gate in your house’s secret room; now that I’ve told you, the ceremony is complete."
He Kao pushed up from the table, standing: "What? The ceremony is over just after half a sentence! Is it that perfunctory?"
Huang Xiaopang gave a bitter smile: "Yes, I did it intentionally; now you’ve received the inheritance. When you can enter the Hidden Moth Space, you will beco a true Hidden Moth."
