115, Chapter 115 (1/2)

After the store was attacked by unknown people that day, Yuan Yuanyuan went home and stayed there for two days. She has been hiding in the house. When she is not in disguise, she hides in the house and reads comics.

Originally, Yuan Yuanyuan had a lot of things to do every day, so although she often slacked off, she rarely calmed down and quietly finished reading a comic or a novel.

That is, today, Yuan Yuanyuan was afraid of getting into trouble, and she didn't have to go to work on weekends, so she could sit down and read something casually, just like giving herself a holiday.

Yuan Yuanyuan got up in the morning and cooked instant noodles, and came back to clean up her room. She was actually worried about one thing, that is, how Liu An was doing today. Yesterday she gave him two hundred yuan, which was also the only spare money she saved this month. She originally wanted to buy some snacks, but she was afraid that he had no place to live, so she gave it to him first.

Two hundred yuan can live in a rental house for five or six days.

Yuan Yuanyuan was a little upset. She was thinking about whether to transform into a new shape and secretly go out to see how Liu An was doing. She always felt that she was not qualified to be a boss. However, she reminded herself several times in her heart, "Don't go out", and then she gradually calmed down.

And now Liu An, who was cared for by her, was sitting quietly in a small house alone, looking at the sky outside.

"Why did you come to me?" San Daoba asked, "You have nowhere to go recently?"

"A little..." Liu An said, "What are you doing? What are you preparing?"

He pointed to a big box in San Daoba's hand. The box was polished with a piece of stone, and the surface looked very smooth.

Although the monsters transformed into human form, their living habits were still quite close to the beast period. This can be seen from the fact that many monsters live in the wild and use stones and leaves to communicate.

This box took a lot of thought at first glance. After seeing it, Liu An felt curious. Who is worth San Daoba's so much thought, so he asked him who it was for.

"For the regional boss." San Dao Ba turned around and said, "The regional boss has taken care of us a lot this year. You may have just arrived, so you haven't seen our boss much. But I'm sure that if you have seen him, you won't be unprepared."

"...Ah?" Liu An looked at San Dao Ba, and his expression was very puzzled.

He was mainly puzzled why San Dao Ba's face turned red when he talked about this boss, similar to the ruddy face of a spring-loving girl seeing her idol...

Liu An shook his head. He didn't expect San Dao Ba to have such a girlish side.

He turned around to pack his bedding. San Dao Ba was still stuffing some things into the box, then sealing the opening, and took a note and wrote his name on it in a proper manner.

The monsters in C City have been busy preparing for the New Year recently. Although they don't have the concept of going home to reunite with their families, there is another thing that they have always followed.

When Yuan Yuanyuan was eating instant noodles, she heard a buzzing vibration from her mobile phone, which made her upset. She picked up her phone and looked at what was inside, and she found that the buzzing sound was actually the sound of Fat Cat and Black and Red chatting.

They posted a lot of pictures in the group, and Yuan Yuanyuan sometimes didn't understand what they were saying, so she often couldn't get a word in. But she would still peek at the screen, maybe she would understand it after a while.

This time, they were talking about something Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't understand as usual. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't understand what they were talking about, but she saw several very beautiful pictures.

One picture was a huge tree, and the tree looked like it was carved out of ice and snow. It was taken in the dark, and it looked like an elf tree in the dark.

There was another picture that left a deep impression on her. In that picture, countless black smoke rose from the ground and gathered in the sky. It was the posture of a hundred ghosts' night parade, but this was definitely the largest scale of a hundred ghosts' night parade Yuan Yuanyuan had ever seen.

[Group leader: This is the one hundred ghosts' night parade organized by our family this year. The tree is with the little monsters below. ]

[Black and red: Wow... I want to kidnap you after seeing this. Did you receive anything? ]

[Group leader: Yes, I can pretend after all. You underestimate my ability to pretend. ]

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't look at what they talked about. It seemed that Fat Cat was just showing off his wealth. But no matter how he showed off his wealth, poor Yuan Yuanyuan didn't feel much, because the gap was too big, and there was no emotional fluctuation at all. If you took a hundred yuan and threw it in front of her, she might react more than this.

She clicked on Mengman again, and then yawned, waiting for today's comics to be updated.

The previous comics drew the story of the red-clothed man and Fanning. Now she really wants to see if the next issue will draw the gay love between the two again.

However, when the cover of this issue came out, Yuan Yuanyuan knew that there was no gay love scene, because the cover character of this issue was Fanning alone.

But in addition to Fanning, there is a faint background behind. That background is very beautiful. It is a huge monster head, and these monster heads are crowded in a black smoke.

Huh? This black smoke is...

Yuan Yuanyuan recognized what this background is. It turned out to be the background of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

Today's comic is interesting. It puts a pure Taoist priest in the front, and then puts a huge picture of a hundred demons at night in the back.

What is this for... Is it to draw the scene of Faning fighting against hundreds of demons?

But the plot is a bit disconnected, isn't it a bit abrupt. Besides, Faning is a rookie. Although she doesn't despise rookies, monsters can't be so weak anyway.

Yuan Yuanyuan clicked on the comic, and the first picture drawn was not Faning's picture, but a huge city view from above.

Looking down from above, the prosperous city is very quiet, but also very lively.

The comic is silent, but the whole city is brightly lit, with countless neon lights and colored lights in the city.

But in addition to those lights, there is also a kind of creature called Jing that decorates the city.

[Monsters. ]

[Although it is now an industrial age, monsters still live in the way they lived in the old times. They shuttle through high-rise buildings, just like shuttle through the forest. 】

【Monsters are very resilient. Even in a very harsh environment, they still maintain their own way of life. 】

Yuan Yuanyuan paused when she saw the sentence "Monsters are very resilient". She was deeply touched by this. Monsters are really very resilient.

But she didn't continue to dwell on it and continued to look down.

【Countless points of light rose from the ground and flew into the sky. They were all monsters in this city. As the New Year approached, these monsters also began to prepare their New Year plans. 】

【Fanning looked at the monsters coming and going. He lived here for two months. This was the first time in his life that he lived with monsters so closely. 】

【In these two months, he saw a lot of monsters' unique lifestyles. Although he had learned a lot from the demon hunters before, he could not really understand what some of the words of those predecessors meant until he was there himself. 】

【He remembered that he had seen such a sentence in a book-monsters all respect the strong, and their respect for the strong even reached an extreme state. 】

【This kind of obedience to the strong is even imprinted in their bones and blood. 】

…

"Back then, our C city had big monsters that all living beings were afraid of. It was because of those big monsters that our C city could gain a foothold." The old man said, "But now, those big monsters have almost all fallen."

"It's not your fault. After all, it's a war." Lin Gutou said: "But do you really want to call Yuan out?"

"We kept him here at the beginning, didn't we expect this situation?" The old man looked at Lin Gutou and said, "It's just that we were all worried about Yuan's condition at that time, so we didn't put too much thought on it."

"What about now? How can you be sure that he will agree to you now?"

"City C is his home after all, the place where he was born and raised." The old man said, "If I go there now, he should understand what I mean."

"Do you have any friendship with him?" Lin Gutou said a little hesitantly.

"It's not a big friendship. I was his team leader for four years when he just joined the army." The old man sighed, "But after the Blood Jade Demon Army recruited him, there was no contact between us."

"Hey, you two actually have this kind of friendship?" Lin Gutou suddenly became interested. He really didn't expect that the old man in front of him was the team leader of that man.

"The last time we met... No, it should be the last time I met Yiqi, it was in the trial court." The old man said, "I didn't know what happened at the time, but before that, I thought he would become a great monster unprecedented in history."

"Was he...very powerful back then?" Lin Gutou asked, "How powerful?"

"Heh." The old man laughed in an unclear tone, "How powerful? You ask him how powerful?"

There seemed to be a hint of sigh in his voice.

"If we turn back time to this time a hundred years ago... can you imagine what his door looks like?"

"Well... there are many monsters?" Lin Gutou asked, "and all kinds of offerings?"

"Many monsters?" The old man's voice became strange again, "No, almost all the monsters."

"All of them."

...

The room was quiet for a while, and for a moment, Lin Gutou was stunned, but he quickly reacted.

"Well..." His expression also became strange, "It sounds interesting... The group of lunatics from the South Sect and the monsters in our C City can actually reach a consensus?"

His words obviously didn't hit the point, but the old man didn't pay much attention to his words that were obviously just to change the subject. Lin Gutou's personality is like this, and it's not a day or two.

"There is no monster who learns tricks and doesn't know him." The old man said softly, "Every battle of his will be recorded by the monsters with expensive jade plates, and then studied repeatedly."

"Well... but now almost every big monster will be like this, it's not uncommon." Lin Gutou said.

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books at present, install the latest version. ]

"No, the concept is different." The old man said: "The monsters study each of his magic, not because they want to observe how a magic is used. However, the jade plates recorded by the big monsters now can only learn how to use a magic from it."

"They study magic to learn this magic." The old man repeated. "Not to learn how to use it, but simply to learn."

"Ah? What's the difference?" Lin Gutou asked, "Isn't it all... learning how to use it?"

"Of course there is a difference." The old man said, "Learning and using are different, otherwise where do you think the tricks you have learned now come from?"

...

[The monsters' worship of powerful forces has gradually become a strange feature. ] Yuan Yuanyuan read slowly, [They are a group that is very easy to be instigated. Once a strong person appears, he will become the leader of this group. ]

[In addition to the unique system of big monsters protecting small monsters, the monsters will give gifts to the big monsters they admire most during the New Year. 】

Why are you being so euphemistic... Isn't it just a disguised tribute? Yuan Yuanyuan complained.

Maybe it's because she is a half-demon, so she can't understand this mentality. She can understand paying tribute in normal times, but when it comes to making independent decisions, almost all monsters will pay tribute.

In her opinion, as a girl with a human mentality, some monsters usually help a lot, so paying tribute to express gratitude is fine, but some monsters are completely like feudal slaves and slave owners, and slaves actually have to pay tribute... I don't understand.

Yuan Yuanyuan complained but didn't take it seriously. She has never been very interested in monster sociology. However, in the juvenile area in the distance, a little girl was led by her mother to a square.

"Tiantian, just put it there." The mother said.

"If you put it there, will the senior monster receive it?" The little girl asked.

"Of course." The mother said with a smile.

She didn't actually tell her daughter that even if she put it there, the monster might not receive it because he never showed up.

However, when paying tribute this year, many monsters spontaneously prepared a portion for the big monster. Because they couldn't find him, they all placed them in this conspicuous square.

The mother led the little girl back again. The moon was very round today.

Several scattered boxes of different sizes were placed in the deserted square. When the moon shone on them, they reflected silver light.
