9. Chapter 9 (1/2)

Yuan Yuanyuan's steps were very urgent.

She lowered her head and walked into an alley. She listened to the footsteps behind her, and her heart was lifted.

It had been two hours since she came back from the supermarket, and the sky had completely darkened.

However, Yuan Yuanyuan still hadn't returned home.

...The voice behind her had been following her closely, and she didn't dare to leave.

Gritting her teeth, Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the time and continued to walk forward, but she had already taken out her knife.

Now she seemed to be trapped in a vicious circle.

Two hours ago, when Yuan Yuanyuan walked out of the supermarket, she rushed straight home. She knew that her current situation was very dangerous, so she deliberately chose a few remote places to walk, but even so, someone soon spotted her.

After all, there were many monsters in this area, and she was not the only monster who chose to live here.

Yuan Yuanyuan thought she had been careful enough, but there were too many sharp-eyed monsters.

She suppressed her demonic aura and tried to disguise herself as an ordinary person. Because she hid well, a few demons only stared at her for a while and then slowly left.

Yuan Yuanyuan kept paying attention to her back and was relieved when she found those people leaving. However, even so, there were still a few people who were unwilling to give up and hung behind her, not far away.

She couldn't walk straight home like this because it was very dangerous.

She was afraid that those people who were hanging behind her would follow her back home.

With this idea in mind, Yuan Yuanyuan circled around for two hours. She tried to get rid of the demons behind her, but the demons behind her not only did not get rid of them, but got closer and closer.

This couldn't go on... Yuan Yuanyuan glanced at the familiar alley not far away.

Damn it.

At this point, she really had no choice but to use the dumbest trick.

- Sprint back to her home first. According to that "Ji Qiu", she should be able to change back soon. Even if those people chased after her, she would insist that she knew nothing. After all, they were two completely different monsters and there was no evidence.

...Well, she would face all kinds of suspicion and questioning later.

That's why Yuan Yuanyuan said this was the dumbest move.

Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly ran quickly. The monster who had been following her obviously didn't expect that she had such a trick. After a moment of hesitation, he reacted and chased after her.

Yuan Yuanyuan ran all the way and soon arrived downstairs of her house. Yuan Yuanyuan was ready to climb in through the window with the feeling of being finally saved, but she suddenly froze.

She stood in front of the window with cold hands and feet.

A kind of despair that she had never experienced before filled her heart.

A beautiful symbol appeared on the window. The purple patterns intertwined to form a slightly weird totem. On the clean glass, it looked like a beautiful window grille.

...

This is an identity mark, which is a thing that Yuan Yuanyuan can only get in exchange for paying rent to Sister Xue every month.

This thing can be compared to a doorbell in the world of monsters. Anyway, it is something like this. With this, as long as a strange monster wants to enter her house, this standard will be revealed.

How can I be a stranger! I just changed my face!

Yuan Yuanyuan was so angry that he almost raised his middle finger to his window...

The shadow behind him was getting closer and closer. At this time, he also realized that the person in front of him was probably the "man in black" that had been rumored these days, so his speed became faster.

Three minutes later, a shadow suddenly passed in front of Yuan Yuanyuan's community. He turned around several times and finally stopped in front of a building.

There are very few monsters in this community, and Yuan Yuanyuan is one of them.

The shadow walked towards the place where the most monster energy remained in the air, and finally slowly came to the door of Yuan Yuanyuan's house.

He was about to push the door, but suddenly saw a purple pattern on the door.

After a pause, he put his hand down.

...

Yuan Yuanyuan lay quietly on his side in a strange place.

She had a blank expression on her face, without a trace of emotion, and her whole body was emitting cold air from the inside out.

She felt that it was a bit difficult for her to breathe, which was not good for her, because she had been holding her demonic energy for a long time, and now she was almost unable to hold on.

... The principle of holding demonic energy is different from holding a fart, but some aspects are the same, that is, once you can't breathe, you are likely to be exposed.

Yuan Yuanyuan pulled away the quilt covering her head and wanted to stick her head out to breathe, but was suddenly pressed down hard by a hand.

This was not the end. After the owner of the hand pressed her down, he was obviously afraid that she would stick her head out again. I don't know where he took out another thick quilt and covered Yuan Yuanyuan again...

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that the weight on her body was getting more and more, and there were constant sounds outside, ding ding bang bang, and it seemed that in the end, it was not just the quilt that pressed on her.

Half an hour later, she took a deep breath and prepared to stick her head out again, but the people outside tried to push her back. Yuan Yuanyuan had no choice but to say, "It's okay, the person is gone."

...The atmosphere outside was quiet. Yuan Yuanyuan finally got out of the mess. As she stood up, a bunch of things fell from her body.

Yuan Yuanyuan glanced at it with her peripheral vision. There were quilts, clothes, and books.

Well, if she read it correctly, there was even a pillow doll and a tickle...

Ahem.

She looked face to face at the two girls in front of her, one was Xiaoying and the other was Xiaoying's classmate.

At this time, the two of them looked at Yuan Yuanyuan slowly climbing up from the "hill", and the expressions on their faces were so wonderful.

…

Just when the black figure was about to catch up, Yuan Yuanyuan was still at a loss in front of her window. Unexpectedly, the window next to her was suddenly pushed open. Xiaoying, who came to open the window, tilted her head and happened to see the squatting woman. Yuan Yuanyuan on the balcony...

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and the expression on Xiaoying's face became worse and worse. At this critical moment, Yuan Yuanyuan said: "Go back, there is someone chasing me from behind."

...However, the ending was unexpected. Yuan Yuanyuan was dragged into the house by Xiaoying and hid in the bedroom with a bunch of things on her body.

Yuan Yuanyuan thought about how when she was in junior high school, if she met a strange man entering the house, the man's origin seemed to be unknown... No, it was not unknown. Her current name is "A mysterious man with seemingly unknown origin" It’s a monster creature.”

In the small bedroom, no one said anything, but Xiaoying's mother's voice suddenly came from outside, "Xiaoying? What are you and Li Xin doing in the house?"

"Nothing, nothing." Xiaoying suddenly turned around and shouted outside, "Mom, do we have anything to eat at home? I didn't have enough to eat at night."

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

"Yes, go get it yourself." Xiaoying's mother shouted again outside, and then stopped talking.

Li Xin looked at Yuan Yuanyuan for a long time, stretched out a finger, poked Xiaoying next to him and said, "He is... who is that?"

"Um."

Yuan Yuanyuan lowered her head and wanted to say something to lighten the atmosphere. She felt that in this situation, the two girls opposite would be more panicked.

Unexpectedly, before she opened her mouth, the girl opposite who was just called "Li Xin" suddenly whispered to Xiaoying: "Are you crazy? Are you still hiding him here?"

"What else can we do if we don't hide here?" Xiaoying also shouted at Li Xin in a low voice, "Someone is chasing him."

"I'm going..." Li Xin pulled Xiaoying over and whispered in her ear, "This is a monster! Monster! Don't look at him saving you, he may have killed someone! Or he may be a Dangerous person! You just want to die. Where are your mother and your father?"

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the two people biting their ears and felt that they probably didn't know that monsters had excellent ears.

She turned her head away in embarrassment, as if she hadn't heard the quarrel between the two, and looked up at her surroundings.

It was a very cozy room, mostly in pink. Although the layout was the same, it was much better than her room.

There was no way, she had no money, and the only valuable thing in the bedroom was a small yellow light.

The two people in front of her were still arguing, but Yuan Yuanyuan felt a little want to laugh inexplicably. They had greeted her in the morning, but now they started to quarrel, and their lines sounded... quite like some kind of dog In a bloody drama.

"Why don't you have some brains! Your parents are so old and you still want to get them involved in this kind of thing?"

"Ugh...what should I do?"

"It can be saved for a while, but not forever. You two are not the same person at all. And if you drag him into the house, something could easily happen. What if he always hides in your house in the future?"

Yuan Yuanyuan was sitting in the quilt, feeling like watching a play, all she needed was a handful of melon seeds...

Well, if she continues to be poor like this, she will definitely not be able to pay the Internet fee next month. There are ready-made TV series to watch, so why not...

And this reflection is so real, no amount of money can be spent to achieve this effect.

"Then, what should we do?" Xiaoying looked like she was about to cry. Li Xin slapped her on the thigh, "Stop talking and let me handle this matter."

She suddenly walked up to Yuan Yuanyuan and came face to face with her. Yuanyuan had been looking at the chandelier above her head just now, but now she also turned her head.

"Are you injured anywhere?" Li Xin said: "You...have something to eat? What do you want to eat?"

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Li Xin.

Li Xin's expression was very calm, but there was a hint of nervousness that he tried to hide.

Yuan Yuanyuan saw her own shadow in her black eyes.

A man with a very slender build, expressionless face, black hair and black eyes.

Frankly speaking, this face looks very good-looking... to use a slightly strange phrase, "it looks like it came out of a comic book."

But if Yuan Yuanyuan had put herself in his shoes, if she had encountered such a thing when she was in high school, no matter how handsome the person was, she would have been scared to death.

…

She shook her head, not wanting to tease them, and was about to get up and leave. Unexpectedly, Xiaoying behind her suddenly stood up and went to nowhere.

Li Xin had been staring nervously at the strange man in front of him. Suddenly he saw Xiaoying leaving and was startled. Before he could call anyone, he saw Xiaoying coming back.

Xiaoying held a large bag of things in her hand, which was cold and cold, and was suddenly stuffed into Yuan Yuanyuan's hand.

Her face was full of tears. I don’t know if she was scared by what Li Xin said just now, or what.

“Go… Go quickly, don’t come back…” Xiaoying stuffed the bag into Yuan Yuanyuan’s hand, and then pushed Yuan Yuanyuan out, “Go quickly!”

… Yuan Yuanyuan was confused.

“They are very dangerous, don’t get close to them.” Xiaoying hugged Yuan Yuanyuan’s waist and pushed her out hard. “Don’t believe what they say, and don’t save them. We are all bad.”

“… Wait a minute, Xiaoying, calm down.” Li Xin whispered: “… Let’s take it slowly.”

Xiaoying didn’t reply to Li Xin’s words. She saw that Yuan Yuanyuan didn’t leave, and she grabbed the tickler that had just pressed on Yuan Yuanyuan from the side, and slapped her on the back, “Go quickly! Find a place to hide, don’t show up, this is not fun, go quickly!”

Yuan Yuanyuan didn’t want to leave… She just didn’t follow Xiaoying’s train of thought.

She was driven out in a daze, broke the monster doorbell in a daze and went home, sat on the sofa in a daze, and still didn't come back to her senses.

Her appearance had changed back, from that man's face to her own face, but she still felt confused. Generally speaking, everything that happened today was very confusing.

She sat on the sofa for a long time, and suddenly remembered something at some point. She opened the plastic bag that Xiaoying had just given her, and many of the ice cubes in it were about to melt.

It was cold and red.

It seemed to be... spare ribs.

A pound of spare ribs is 20 yuan... so many should probably be about 100 yuan.

Sitting on the sofa, Yuan Yuanyuan's mind suddenly came back to her senses. She looked at the pork in her arms, was silent for three seconds, put away the plastic bag, and put it in the refrigerator.

Actually... it's not that bad.
