135, Chapter 135
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the picture that was suddenly inserted in the comic for a long time, then took a sip of the tea next to her and calmed down.
[Recommended, Zhuishu is really useful, download it here, everyone can try it quickly. ]
She began to recall everything that had happened since she met the city lord.
From the invitation at the beginning to the attitude of the city lord when they met later.
Also, when the two met, the city lord did not talk about why he asked her to come, but simply told her some family matters.
"Thank you very much for agreeing to come today."
Oh... So that's how it is... It turned out to be like this...
"Boss, do you want to eat something?" Liu An asked.
"No." Yuan Yuanyuan turned a page of the comic and continued to think about what was in it.
"Then I'll go cook a bag of instant noodles." Liu An said and went into the kitchen, leaving Yuan Yuanyuan alone in the hall.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the picture above. This was the scene when the old man lifted the curtain and asked the people outside where they were now.
She remembered that she had complained at that time, why did they say that they had just returned to the city? Did they go for a walk outside the city? But now it seems that... they might have really gone back from outside the city.
Because it was written in black and white in the comic that the city planned to go for a walk outside and then come back, which had a deterrent effect.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know whether the deterrent effect was achieved... Anyway, she was sweating coldly when she saw it.
It's a good thing that no one came. If someone had come, she felt that she might not have come back alive yesterday.
"But... Did Faning come out to watch the Hundred Demons Festival last night?" Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly realized such a problem.
She still likes Faning as a person. He doesn't feel disgusted by some Taoist priests. Although he is a little black now, he is still a very comfortable boy overall. And the most important thing is that he has a good face.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought that yesterday was probably the first time Faning saw the Hundred Demons Festival with his own eyes... No matter how you think about it, the Taoist settlement will not allow the monsters to revel, not to mention that the monsters are in a defeated environment now.
[Faning walked around the street, and he suddenly heard a very excited voice in his ear. ]
["Look! It's the city lord, the city lord is coming out!"]
[Faning suddenly looked back, and heard a faint singing voice coming from his ear. He saw a long team suddenly appeared on the horizon. ]
[The monster team seemed to be boundless, and there was no end to it. It came from a distant place and arrived in front of him. The sky was shining like the sun was about to rise. ]
[The ears suddenly began to rumble, as if thousands of drums appeared at once, there were big drums, there were small drums, this distant and ancient rhythm, every beat seemed to hit the heart. 】
【Countless black clouds suddenly spread from the horizon, like a gust of sand that could not be avoided. 】
【At that moment, Faning felt goosebumps all over his body. 】
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the scene in the painting, and suddenly couldn't help saying "Fuck!". She was afraid that Liu An in the kitchen would hear it, so she quickly suppressed the sound.
She looked at the demon team on the screen.
If the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons can be used as a deterrent, then it must give people a strong sensory stimulation.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't feel this kind of sensory stimulation at all that day, but today she actually saw it in the comics.
She didn't expect the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons to be like this... It seems that what she saw that day was not the real Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. She didn't see as much as Faning on the ground.
【The little demons around were pushing forward like crazy. Faning was squeezed by them and couldn't stand steadily. The street suddenly lost the leisurely feeling just now, but became fanatical and crazy. 】
【"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Faning heard someone shouting this faintly, and he grabbed a nearby electric pole, which saved him from being rushed to the ground. 】
【"Monsters...are all monsters so crazy!" Faning shouted frantically in his heart, "I always feel, I always feel like a fanatical star chaser..."】
【When the convoy passed directly above the street, Faning felt an indescribable pressure coming from above his head. It felt like a helicopter was rising above his head, and the wind kept blowing up. Faning's hair was blown into a tornado at that moment. 】
【The monsters next to him were just like wheat in a wheat field, and they were blown down by the wind. Faning hugged the electric pole tighter, and he looked up at the convoy above his head with a ferocious face. It was as high as a skyscraper, and he thought to himself, my, mother, ah! 】
【The time that the convoy stayed above their heads was actually very short, but for the monsters below, it was just like a typhoon. 】
【When the "typhoon" ended, Fanning climbed up and felt that his brain was blown away. 】
【... He felt that from today on, he finally understood why the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons could be used as a deterrent. 】
[The surrounding monsters shouted frantically while chasing the convoy that had already left. Faning looked at them and touched his arm. For some reason, he felt that the monsters were overreacting. ]
[But judging from their feelings, they seemed to be used to it. ]
[Folklore issues - Faning summed it up like this. He felt that because of his physical condition, he might become the only Taoist priest in history who could experience the life of monsters. He could go back and write a book to popularize science to the Taoist priests, if there were any Taoist priests willing to accept him. ]
Yuan Yuanyuan put down her phone and looked at Liu An, who had brought the noodles to her without knowing when, and looked at her while slurping them. Liu An asked, "Boss, is it good?"
"It's good." Yuan Yuanyuan said.
"Oh..." Liu An stopped talking and lowered his head to slurp the instant noodles.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt that Faning was just overthinking... Who else could be more qualified than her to write a book about the difference between the lives of monsters and humans? But now she is still working for Ji Qiu. Maybe... when Ji Qiu lets her go one day, she can really write a memoir.
"Ahem." Liu An wanted to talk while eating, but he choked. He coughed twice and said: "Boss... One Hundred Demons Night Parade... is really amazing."
"Didn't you go to see it?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked, and suddenly remembered, "Oh, by the way, you were in the house that day..."
Liu An said nothing and slurped a mouthful of soup. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at her phone again, and suddenly said from the bottom of her heart, "Yes... It's really amazing."
"Sitting in that car... It must be more spectacular." Liu An suddenly said, Yuan Yuanyuan turned her head, and there was a faint envy on Liu An's face.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the envy on his face and was suddenly stunned.
She thought of some things that happened a long time ago, so long ago that they were almost thrown into the trash can. It seemed that a long time ago, she also thought from the bottom of her heart, "If it were like that, it would be great."
On the street outside, someone triggered the car alarm, and the sound of "wow wow wow" was very long.
In the dim room, Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Liu An for a long time, and for some reason suddenly said, "No, sitting on it... It's actually not as fun as sitting down there."
"Huh? Why?" Liu An raised his head, slurping instant noodles in his mouth, and said vaguely.
"Because..." Yuan Yuanyuan frowned and said, "It looks fun to sit down there, right? But when you sit up there, you can't see anything. There's only a small curtain, and then you lie down by the small window to watch... It's more boring than a meeting."
"And." Yuan Yuanyuan was inexplicably excited, as if she had finally found someone to complain to, "You can't feel anything up there... The sound is also very quiet, you can listen to it as a lullaby in the car."
Liu An had a look of shattered dreams on his face, and Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing when she saw his expression. She She waved her hand in front of Liu An twice and asked, "Hey, come back to your senses, don't look so disillusioned."
"...That's definitely because your monster team is not good enough." After Liu An came to his senses, he began to refute Yuan Yuanyuan's words frantically, "Of course your team heard a small sound, the monster team in the comics is definitely much more spectacular."
Yuan Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "All monster teams, big or small, are the same. I don't believe there are any exceptions."
While the two of them were bickering, the car alarms outside disappeared and the streets returned to peace. The number of monsters on the streets has suddenly decreased since the Hundred Monsters Festival, but the number of humans has gradually increased.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at how she had beaten Liu An so hard that he didn't even eat his instant noodles, and a kind of metaphysical smile appeared on her face.
She flipped through the last few pages of the comics, which were Fanning's inner monologue.
【He looked up at the monster team that had disappeared in the sky, and suddenly wanted to follow it up to take a look. ]
[But no... he can't fly. If he wants to fly, he has to rely on some Taoist methods. ]
["In that car, the city lord and the big man who came to help calm the situation today are sitting." A person next to him said, "They just came back from the edge of the city... they are really majestic."]
[The city lord and the big man are sitting there? Faning looked up at the horizon. ]
[They just came back from the edge of the city? They should have gone to intimidate the monsters around...]
[Faning looked at the convoy disappearing in the sky, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. ]
[To be able to sit in such a convoy, have a night parade of a hundred ghosts, let the little monsters below look up, and let the monsters around be scared...]
[Really, they are all very amazing. ]
