3. Chapter 3
Who is this new guy? Why do I see him for the first time?
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the guy in black clothes with a confused look on his face. She looked at the table of contents again and realized that she had turned the page too far. She quickly turned back.
She turned to the top and then connected the plot. It turned out that this chapter was about the hero chasing a very evil monster. This monster was very cunning. He hid in the crowd during the day and no one noticed him. He came out every night to kill ordinary humans.
In order to track down this monster, the painter has drawn four or five issues... He is also very talkative. Yuan Yuanyuan became a little interested. It seems that this is finally the trace of this monster.
Yuan Yuanyuan turned over this page and looked at the plot above. The hero followed the monster to a place commonly known as "Chaos City". It was full of all kinds of monsters, all kinds of people, and it was a very chaotic city. Few ordinary monsters came here. Most of the monsters living here were extremely evil or desperate.
As the male protagonist, the demon hunter rarely comes here. To be precise, this is not a place suitable for demon hunters. This is a place suitable for those monsters living in the marginal world.
Yuan Yuanyuan nibbled a piece of dried fish and thought, this painter knows a lot. There is indeed such a place in the monster world, and I am staying here now.
Well... seriously, where is this? Meteor Street in the monster world? Or Rukongai 8 [To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple are OK. ] District?
Yuan Yuanyuan was almost convinced by her own imagination. In fact, this is still a very prosperous city. Although it is not famous, the population is quite dense. For humans, it is still a good place to live.
It’s just a little messy for monsters.
She continued to flip down. The demon hunter’s aura on the male protagonist was like a night light in this city. Of course, he knew this, so he carefully avoided everyone’s sight and waited until noon to come out.
This male protagonist is really skilled and daring... He dares to run around alone in such a city. Yuan Yuanyuan shook her head again. This plot seems a bit nonsense to her. Apart from anything else, if there is really a demon hunter who dares to come to this place alone, he must be a very powerful person.
Well... How powerful is he? Anyway, Yuan Yuanyuan has never seen a Taoist priest of this level.
That's right, Yuan Yuanyuan doesn't have to be afraid of creatures like demon hunters, but she also needs to be careful of the "demon hunters" in the real world - Taoist priests. However, Taoist priests are not threatening to her, after all, she is a half-demon.
Taoist priests in this era are still more open-minded than monsters. After all, the lifespan of humans is there, and the renewal is very fast. The thoughts of each generation will be very different. Yuan Yuanyuan met a few Taoist priests, all of whom were very open-minded. Seeing that there was no blood on her body, they let her go.
Ordinary Taoist priests are still unwilling to embarrass these little monsters, but it may not be the case for Taoist priests from big families... However, Yuan Yuanyuan did not think that she could offend those people. She had her own way to deal with Taoist priests from big families.
She slowly pulled down the screen and watched the plot on it bit by bit. Not long after the male protagonist came to this city, he found the monster hiding here, so he made sufficient preparations in advance.
[Recommended, chasing books is really useful, download it here, everyone can try it quickly. ]
On a rainy night, the male protagonist went out. The rainy day can well cover the smell of the demon exorcist on his body. He followed the monster for a long time, but he lost it halfway, and he was anxious.
At the critical moment, he suddenly remembered a place where the monster often hid, so he turned back immediately, wanting to see if the monster felt threatened and hid himself there.
Just when the demon hunter arrived, he suddenly saw a black figure falling from the sky and landing directly on the monster's head--
Seeing this, Yuan Yuanyuan spurted out a mouthful of milk.
...
She looked at the picture with a look of "What the hell!" on her face.
The figure that fell was wearing a black windbreaker, with short black hair scattered on his forehead, and there was no emotion in his black eyes.
The sky was full of red, as if it was going to cover the entire screen, and every red was a beautiful bright red.
The figure in black jumped into the air, then turned around and landed on the monster's head, and then a silver light flashed, and the thing in his hand went straight into the monster's crown--
A pair of black slender phoenix eyes looked down quietly, as if there was no emotional fluctuation. Through the thin screen, it seemed that this person was looking at the reader opposite.
The monster roared, and the man in black could only move one hand, but he was not panicked at all.
He had been holding a girl whose face he couldn't see clearly in his arms. With a sharp twist of his waist, he pulled out the knife that had been inserted into his forehead, and then landed steadily on the ground.
The whole fighting scene was extremely smooth. Just looking at these static pictures can make people's blood boil. Whether it was the action of leaping into the air, the action of inserting the knife, or the action of drawing the knife, they were all drawn very beautifully.
The screen was full of black, white, and red.
The black was the clothes and hair of the man in black.
The white was the knife in his hand and his bloodless face.
The red ones are the red lines all over the sky.
…
Yuan Yuanyuan's hands trembled when she looked at these pictures, especially when she looked at the face on the screen.
She felt that her heart was really beating wildly, the kind that was about to jump out of her throat, and even her ears could hear her heartbeat.
For a full five minutes, she was flipping through those pictures, without any sound, just flipping up and down nervously.
Five minutes later, she suddenly stood up, walked around the room blankly for several times, picked up the phone on the table, looked at it, put it back, and opened the curtains to look at the scenery outside.
The streets were busy with traffic.
She closed the curtains again.
…
Yuan Yuanyuan forced herself to finish watching the remaining plot. She wanted to see what happened to the demon hunter in the end, whether he left or stayed, or followed the man in black all the time.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in her heart, and flipped down with a trace of despair.
After the man in black landed, the demon hunter could clearly see the person in his arms. The demon hunter was stunned because the person in his arms was obviously a little girl, still wearing a school uniform, with her face buried in the man in black's arms, so he couldn't see clearly.
He was a little stunned. You know, although he is a demon hunter, he doesn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. The current situation is very confusing. He doesn't know who the little girl is, nor who the man in black is. But looking at the current situation, it seems that the man in black is saving the little girl.
The man in black has an unknown origin and unknown strength, and he doesn't have the smell that monsters often have. If it weren't for the red lines all over the sky, he would have thought that the monster in front of him was a human.
He wondered if he should follow up to take a look, but who knew that the man in black didn't notice him at all, but turned and ran forward, and quickly disappeared into the night with the little girl...
The demon hunter wanted to catch up to see, but the man in black ran too fast, and he didn't catch up. It was raining heavily, covering their traces.
The smell of the black monster was very faint to begin with, and after being washed away by the rain, it was even more impossible to find. The demon hunter searched everywhere but to no avail, so he had to give up.
Yuan Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the end, and felt that her heart and lungs were about to be scared out of her. She took out the black windbreaker, picked up her knife, cut the windbreaker into strips, and finally lit a brazier and burned the strips of cloth bit by bit.
The red flames slowly climbed up along the strips of cloth. Yuan Yuanyuan was lost in thought while burning. She thought about the scene and wondered what was going on.
The scene was definitely painted according to the scene three days ago. The appearance of the alley and every detail were almost exactly the same. Yuan Yuanyuan could recall the action three days ago just by looking at these paintings.
At that time, she did change her appearance, disguised her voice, and put on a black windbreaker that she would never wear normally.
Yuan Yuanyuan had been wandering for so many years, and she suffered a lot at first because she didn't know how to disguise herself. But then she learned to change her appearance. Simply changing her appearance can easily make people find her out. Yuan Yuanyuan gradually began to learn to change her age, clothing, and even gender.
It has to be said that gender is really a killer for disguise. If someone pretends to be a boy, few people would guess that this person is actually a girl.
After burning the strips of cloth, Yuan Yuanyuan opened the window to let in some air, then picked up her phone and flipped through the comics again. If she guessed correctly, the painter named "Ji Qiu" was indeed a monster. He was standing nearby at the time, secretly recording the whole process, and then drawing it on his comics.
But what was the intention of this painter? What was his purpose in drawing this thing?
Has she been exposed now? Did the painter know that the man in black was her?
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the large picture and had to say that the painter's skills were really good. The painting was particularly vivid, and every detail was taken into consideration.
...Then it seemed a bit ridiculous that she had praised the painter's "real" painting before. According to this painting method, she could also paint very realistically.
Yuan Yuanyuan took a deep breath, walked into the bathroom, filled a basin with water, and buried her head in it.
She couldn't let anyone come looking for her, absolutely not.
She was very satisfied with her current stable life and didn't want anything to destroy it.
