17. Chapter 17

"Where is your home?"

"...Uh, do you need to call the police?"

Yuan Yuanyuan pulled the girl and felt like a mentally retarded person. She ran away from the pedestrian street covered in blood, followed by a bunch of people.

Standing on the street, she couldn't even think clearly about what she had just done. Looking at the girl next to her, her eyes were covered.

...Where are the police?

Yuan Yuanyuan thought about how tough she had just been. She felt that the tavern where she worked had been smashed so badly that she might not even recognize it. She looked at her location, took out her mobile phone, opened Sogou Maps, and searched for the public security bureau here...

The girl next to her silently watched Yuan Yuanyuan search for the location of the public security bureau with her mobile phone, and then saw an expression of sudden enlightenment suddenly appear on Yuan Yuanyuan's face, and he jumped onto another roof holding the girl.

I wonder if the girl noticed the broken phone Yuan Yuanyuan bought four years ago, and the various scratches on the screen...

I guess once this matter is related to the government agencies among humans, those monsters will stop chasing.

...

Yuan Yuanyuan returned home, carrying a bunch of medicines, hydrogen peroxide, gentian violet and the like.

Then she went into the bathroom, closed the door tightly, lifted her clothes, took the gauze left over from last year, and wiped the blood on her body.

Some places had dried up, and she had to peel off the dried blood scabs and clothes that were stuck together little by little, and then apply it on her body.

The blood on her body just now exuded a very strange smell, which she had never smelled before. When she went home and lifted the illusion, it turned back to her own smell.

After she finished applying, she looked at the time and it was past her usual dinner time.

She went out when it was just getting dark. Usually she went to work as soon as it got dark and got off work at two or three in the middle of the night. After fighting with those people today, I got home earlier than usual, at nine o'clock.

Yuan Yuanyuan still felt a little weak when she stood up. She climbed up with difficulty, threw the gauze and cotton swabs into the trash can, then went to the kitchen and found a bag of instant noodles, two eggs, and a bunch of green onions.

While cooking instant noodles, she looked across from her house. From the outside, it looked very normal, as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Yuanyuan threw the seasoning into the pot, then started to cut green onions, and poured the remaining ribs and soup into it.

I don't know if I can go to work normally tomorrow...

When she thought about this, she suddenly took out a small peace pendant from her neck.

Judging from the pattern of this peace pendant, it should be jade. When it was shone in the light, it was white.

The peace pendant was given to her by Ji Qiu. It is a very traditional way for monsters to convey information. However, Yuan Yuanyuan has only seen people using stones to spread information over the years. This is the first time she has seen a rich man using jade.

But Yuan Yuanyuan remembered that when Ji Qiu gave it to her, the jade was obviously red.

Yuan Yuanyuan stuffed the jade back, served the noodles, poured a cup of tea and ate it alone in silence, then wiped her mouth, went into the bedroom, and took out the jade again.

She didn't forget what Ji Qiu had said to her before.

[What would you do if you had another identity? ]

... I would do a lot of second-year things, really.

Before carefully checking the information in the jade, Yuan Yuanyuan thought it would be something magical, like "Ji Qiu might reveal a little about his future plans in it", "How can she survive safely", "Are you a main god or something like that? Is your original form an egg?" and other texts. As a result, when she really read the first line of words, she was stunned.

... Wow, wow, Ju, it's actually a traditional Chinese character.

...

"Yuanyuan, something happened in the tavern yesterday, don't come yet, let's talk about it in a few days." Yuan Yuanyuan got up early in the morning and heard the news from Sister Xue.

She didn't find it strange at all, and she lay back down with her pillow in her arms.

I wonder if the pub will pay her on time this month.

Maybe they will deduct the employees' wages to repair the house?

Yuan Yuanyuan turned over again. Although she didn't know what the boss would do, it was not easy for her to ask this question as she had only worked for a few days.

Maybe... the next comic will show whether the boss will deduct her wages?

Some strange things popped up in Yuan Yuanyuan's mind inexplicably... Ji Qiu drew her boss's face on the comic very seriously, and then added words next to it, "Oh, the house is destroyed, should we deduct the employees' wages..."

Well, Ji Qiu shouldn't be so idle.

The sun had risen high, but Yuan Yuanyuan still didn't get up. She stayed up until four in the morning last night to translate the first few paragraphs of that text. Excuse me, those lines of text are not only in traditional Chinese, but also in classical Chinese.

She held the traditional and simplified Chinese character converter and compared the translation. After staying up half the night, she was only able to translate a little bit. She was almost overwhelmed.

But she also saw that those words did not seem to be what Ji Qiu said, but a... what kind of magic?

"The Yin soul embraces the One, can it make a sound? It walks on behalf of the sky and returns to being an infant..."

Yuan Yuanyuan recalled the few lines of the text and felt that... all these years of reading were in vain.

However, she could still understand the meaning of the long introduction at the beginning. The main idea was that there was a very awesome monster who wrote a book and introduced some of the unique magic techniques he had created over the years. It's pretty awesome, what about "running orders for decades and acting on behalf of demons."

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that this book was like a summary of his life experiences by the unknown monster. Almost all his experiences were written in it, but Yuan Yuanyuan really couldn't understand so many traditional Chinese characters.

There are some very sensitive words in this piece of jade, which attracted Yuan Yuanyuan's attention. For example, the word "blood" has the same meaning in traditional and simplified Chinese. I have to mention it here, although This piece of jade seems to be very powerful, but there are actually very few things recorded on it. If it were put on paper, it would only be a few thin pages.

However, in just a few pages, Yuan Yuanyuan made a rough count and found that the word "blood" appeared forty or fifty times...

These traditional Chinese characters are not only common ones, but also some very biased characters, such as "k" and "", which purely challenge people's knowledge and cognition. Coupled with the classical Chinese, the translation is even more difficult. of difficulty.

...Yuan Yuanyuan turned over. She knew that it was a very silly-looking book. It was probably Jiqiu who had tricked her. After all, as a "male supporting actor", she herself was too weak. That's right. In fact, some of what Ji Qiu said last night was meaningful.

[This identity is very mysterious, very powerful, and very charming. It is much stronger than your current ability. It can do many things that you can't do now. What are you going to use it for? 】

Very mysterious, very powerful, very charming, these are actually not what Yuan Yuanyuan can achieve now.

She is just a weakling now. She knows very little about the world of monsters. She even makes jokes. She simply doesn't ask about things she doesn't understand. She has received a lot less beatings in recent years.

Ji Qiu gave her this thing because he definitely wanted her to learn from it.

The problem is...Yuan Yuanyuan now vaguely realizes that there is something evil about that thing.

From the bottom of her heart, she didn't like that thing very much.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she was actually a bit mean. To be fair, she had thought during her second year in high school that if someone put some "martial arts secret book" in front of her, she would definitely learn it.

But when she actually faced this situation, she found that it was not like this. Just like other young men who opened the secret book, the first thing they saw was the words "The most powerful, the most positive, the most good and the most pure". , the first page she opened the book was [If you want to practice this skill, you must first xx]...

Any normal person would have to think about this for two seconds.

Ahem, although this is not necessarily some strange martial arts secret book, the word "blood" appears so frequently. In addition to this word, there are also some more sensitive words, such as [disabled], [Corpse] This kind of...

...What a monstrous effect this thing must have after practicing it?

Yuan Yuanyuan hasn't translated the whole book yet, but unexpectedly she doesn't want to continue translating.

Just sleep a little longer and we'll talk about it then.

With such a broken mentality, Yuan Yuanyuan quickly fell asleep again...

…

But for some reason, after waking up in the afternoon, she unexpectedly picked up the dictionary and started translating again.

[To be honest, I have been using it recently, and it works on both Android and Apple. 】

Or she has no strength at all... If she had a powerful aunt, second uncle, seventh uncle, or something like that who could teach her some powerful methods, why would she have to secretly translate this thing by herself?

Although this thing seems very unreliable... but it is also the only thing related to sorcery that she can come into contact with now. The worst thing she can do is not learn it after the translation is finished. Just look at the life experience of this big monster over the years. Not bad.

"What does this line mean...it's about..." Yuan Yuanyuan frowned while translating. At this moment, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside. She stuffed the jade back into her neck, then walked over and pointed at the cat's eye. After looking at it, he opened the door.

Xiaoying stood at the door, looked at Yuan Yuanyuan, and asked mysteriously, "Sister Yuanyuan, have you bought this issue of "Mengman"?"

"Huh? Which issue?" Yuan Yuanyuan glanced at her small bookshelf. Since she appeared in the comics, she has developed the habit of buying two issues every month.

"There is a small card in the last issue of "Mengman". Can you give me that card?" Xiaoying asked anxiously outside.

"Okay." Yuan Yuanyuan walked over, picked up the book, and took out the postcard-style card inside.

Nowadays, most magazines have this kind of thing, and it is often used for reader return visits.

"What do you want this for?" Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly asked a question a second before taking it over. Xiaoying took it and thanked her, and then said: "This issue of "Mengman" has organized an official comic character popularity ranking. , don’t you know?”

"...Huh?" Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly made a single tone. She stood at the door, looked at Xiaoying and shouted again, "Huh?"
