90, Chapter 90 (1/2)

Yuan Yuanyuan was doing the accounts in the house that day.

This year was the easiest year for her recently. Because this year she had money, a house, and... heating.

Since she had to run back and forth between the two places, Yuan Yuanyuan simply told the pub that she would not come often on Saturdays and Sundays in the future. Although she made less money, the welfare of the pub was not bad, and Yuan Yuanyuan was used to poor life, so she could survive anyway.

Recently, pedestrians on the street were wearing thicker and thicker clothes. There was little snow this winter. Yuan Yuanyuan thought it was a warmer year, but in the last few days of the year, there were several heavy snowfalls.

Sitting in the house, Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the snowflakes outside the window and was inexplicably dazed.

She remembered the time when she had no money a few years ago... It was like using love to keep warm. That was a glimpse.

When Yuan Yuanyuan was distracted, Tang Shi, who was sitting opposite her, stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Yuan Yuanyuan, saying, "Shopkeeper, you are distracted again."

"Don't interrupt me, shopkeeper, I am having a hard time, okay." Yuan Yuanyuan put down the account book in her hand.

"Didn't my dad bring you a package of things some time ago? It was so heavy that my shoulders were sore from carrying it. And you still say you don't have money?" Tang Shi said.

Yuan Yuanyuan remembered what was in the package... She went home and secretly opened the package, looking excited, just like unpacking a box, but what she took out was a pile of stones...

A pile of dark brown translucent stones.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at these broken stones and was silent for a long time. Finally, she picked up one with trembling hands and shook it silently in her hands...

This thing looked particularly familiar, because she had a bunch of them. The traditional term for this thing is called a demon bead, which is the one that Yuan Yuanyuan handed over to the regional boss every quarter, but the one Yuan Yuanyuan had was red, and each one was n times smaller than this one...

To be frank, Yuan Yuanyuan has enough of this thing now to use for more than ten years. The demon bead is a by-product of practicing the Blood Jade Demon Art.

Because Yuan Yuanyuan wanted human blood, not demon energy, she would first condense her own blood into a demon bead, and then use the remaining blood to practice. The blood that has been processed like this is more like human blood.

As a result, who knew that she actually received such a package...

Damn, Yuan Yuanyuan doesn't know how to use this thing at all! Even if you go to the hospital to buy a few bags of plasma, it looks more reliable to Yuan Yuanyuan than this!

Yuan Yuanyuan now feels like a dumb person eating bitter herbs when she thinks about this matter. She looked at Tang Shi and didn't plan to tell her what her father brought. After all, her father seemed to be hiding it from her daughter.

She looked at Tang Shi's notebook, and there were a few lines of chat on it, which were about the experience of those tricks. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at it for a few times and felt a headache for no reason. These days, she really saw that Tang Shi really didn't like to learn this stuff.

Thinking back to the time, her favorite part of the Blood Jade Demon Art was the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil. Although she was living a miserable life when learning it, she still felt quite interesting. When learning it, she often felt excited.

Although Yuan Yuanyuan read those novels and comics back then, and the scenes of waving her hands to create a sea of ​​fire and water dragons were still very exciting, but when she really learned it, she still had to memorize those messy demon arts by herself.

How to say it... It feels like memorizing those ancient poems back then, and this one may not be learned even if you memorize it.

Yuan Yuanyuan stood up, waved her hand, and said to Tang Shi: "Come out, to the yard, I will teach you."

Tang Shi threw away her notebook and excitedly went to the yard with Yuan Yuanyuan. She had long been impatient to recite those things. Ever since she knew that the shop owner was a big monster, she had always wanted to see the shop owner show off his skills.

Yuan Yuanyuan walked into the yard, looked at the bare tree in the yard, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She slowly recited the first of the twelve little demon tricks in her heart, and saw that her figure slowly began to become illusory.

Tang Shi sat on the small corridor in front of the door, watching the boss's figure under the tree slowly become nothingness. She was still a little crooked at first, but gradually sat up straight, staring at the front.

The shop owner was always sloppy, but every time he used magic, he was inexplicably handsome.

At this time, the shop owner standing under the tree had his eyes closed, and his mouth opened and closed gently a few times.

Those two thin lips were slightly bloody, and when they whispered the little demon formula, people could not help but lean over to listen.

Tang Shi vaguely recognized that it was probably the first one of the little demon formula.

A gust of wind suddenly blew in the yard, blowing the snowflakes outside in the same direction.

…

[Guess what the next issue will be, where is Faning going? ]

[He is now going to those low-level small commissions... He can't get into the more advanced commissions. ]

[Of course, but I feel a little suffocated when I see Faning. Why can't he draw a character with us monsters as the protagonist? ]

In the school forum, this time is when students go home after school, and everyone is chatting online. After all, the latest issue of "Monster Records" will be updated in the evening. For these monster readers, the update of "Monster Records" is far more important than studying. After all, most of them don't even care about studying.

For readers of the website, chatting while waiting for the update of "Monster Chronicles" is actually something similar to a ritual.

[That little brother in white clothes, I heard recently that he is actually quite close to my home. 】

【Where? Where? 】

[In Qiuying, I heard that someone saw him there... He has always been there, but no one knows what he really looks like. 】

【Qiu Ying? Damn it, is it actually there? I remember my mother said that the water there was very deep. 】

[It is indeed deep...but I never know why I say deep, but I think the water in drinking and sex places must be deep. I heard that there are scenes in several comics that are scenes from Qiu Ying, where Yuan appeared. that scene. 】

[Hey, speaking of this Yuan, I heard some time ago that he was on the reward list at the commission office. 】

【Really? Take a look at the next picture! 】

A blurry-looking photo appeared on the website, where you can vaguely see a blurry picture, with the words written on it very conspicuously, [Weird Monster, Abyss - Bounty of three million]

The students on the website were silent for a while, and suddenly they became excited.

【Wait a minute! This name... isn't it what we said? When did it reach the Taoist priests? 】

[That photo seems to have been taken from that video too! 】

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail-300x250' , target_type: 'mix' });

[My mother...what's going on? How did it get spread? 】

[By the way, has anyone found out what the origin of this abyss is? I searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. Even if I asked my mother, she didn't know. 】

[I didn’t find out...but I think this is very confusing. Isn’t it clear that he is a traitor? Why are the Taoist priests still offering a reward for him? Isn't this a bit illogical? 】

[Maybe... this Yuan betrayed the monster before, but now he won't be on our side again? 】

[Don’t be ridiculous, look at the attitude of the previous issues, how can you say that they are on our side? 】

[That means...not taking sides? Isn't he afraid that both parties will fuck him together? 】

[Let me go, this weird monster is going to heaven. 】

[Actually, now that I think about the fact that there is such a monster around me, my scalp goes numb. A spy from that era... let alone his strength, what he has experienced before may not be what we can imagine. It may be worse than novels. It's wonderful, so sometimes when I think that such a monster actually exists... I feel panicked. 】

[I don’t know... You might want to consider beating up the enemy’s Hakka’s daily life. Although his family is not a spy, I think the level of perversion should be about the same. Otherwise, you should consider looking up the human spies of that era. What does it look like. 】

For a time, there were a lot of different opinions on the forum, and everyone was spreading rumors and there were all kinds of opinions.

In a small courtyard, a person stood quietly in the middle of the courtyard. The sky gradually turned dark and the stars lit up.

"Look, this is the twelfth one."

The man in black clothes in the yard said something in a low voice.

He suddenly moved, and his figure was as fast as a shadow. Tang Shi, who was sitting on the side, had eyes sore at this moment. She looked straight ahead, not daring to blink at all.

Because she knew that if she blinked a little, the scene in front of her would probably pass.

Not a single snowflake in the yard was picked up. Like the previous times, Tang Shi kept staring to find where the people in the yard would appear next.

Is it under that tree?

Or just like last time, standing in the middle of the yard?

Her eyes were almost sore from staring at it, but she still couldn't find it. At this moment, she suddenly felt a slight chill on her neck.

She lowered her head, and a silvery knife was placed between her neck. The back of the knife was pointed at her. As she leaned forward, it scraped a trace of skin. The blade was still cold under the dark night sky outside. .

Only then did Tang Shi realize that there should be someone standing behind her, because just now the candlelight in the room illuminated her entire back, but now, part of it was blocked by a shadow.

When did you come here?

Tang Shi turned her head and heard the shopkeeper's voice coming from behind her. It suddenly changed from the low tone to the sound of salted fish, "Oh my god, my god, please watch carefully. You dare to turn around with the knife on your neck?" I almost scratched you, the back of the knife is quite sharp."

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Tang Shi who turned her head and felt that this was really the most silly and sweet child she had ever seen. Of course, there was nothing wrong with her to some extent. Her father came that day and Yuan Yuanyuan looked at it. At a glance, he looks very much like Tang Shi.

This is probably a racial issue... Some monsters are just silly and sweet.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Tang Shi and once again guessed what kind of monster she was.

She felt even dumber than the hamster her college roommate kept that often choked when eating.

"So awesome!" Tang Shi ran over with a "da da" sound, and her eyes were filled with little stars...

She looked back and forth at the knife in Yuan Yuanyuan's hand, "Is this your weapon, the owner? How did you appear behind me just now? By the way, is the Little Demon Technique really that powerful? When I practiced it, I couldn't even walk ten meters, and I stumbled all the time. When you use it, it's just like the one in the cartoon..."

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Tang Shi jumping around her happily. Is that what kids are like... Sometimes they don't like to learn something because they think it's not cool enough. When they think it's cool enough, they will naturally crawl over it.

Tang Shi looked at the owner standing in the night. His black clothes seemed to blend perfectly into the night. If it weren't for his white and glowing face, she would have been hard to find him.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the time and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock, so she called Tang Shi to come in, "Don't stay outside, it's too cold, come in."

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, how can I be like you?"

"Learn well, memorize the twelve little demon skills first."

"Shopkeeper, how long did it take you to learn this? It seems that you are very relaxed."

"I learn this?" Yuan Yuanyuan calculated the time, "A month... right?"

Tang Shi circled Yuan Yuanyuan for a long time, and then she stopped because she was tired. She sat on the table and browsed her phone to keep warm. Yuan Yuanyuan was also waiting for time, preparing to finish reading comics and go upstairs to sleep.

The two sat quietly for a while, and Tang Shi suddenly reached out and pulled Yuan Yuanyuan's sleeve, "Shopkeeper, look at these people, their imaginations have broken through the sky."

Yuan Yuanyuan leaned over to take a look. It was a student forum. There was a post on it. The title of the post was [Predict tonight's "Demon Records"! ], but it started to go off topic later, and it got more and more off topic.

[So the spies back then definitely participated in very cruel training... Isn't that what the comics and novels all say? The spy camp in the Blood Jade Demon Army, I don't believe it's a good place. ]

[Actually, spies should be considered consumables. Back then, wars were basically meat grinders. The Blood Jade Demon Army was just a consumable with a more famous name. There are no monsters that have undergone the kind of oppressive training back then. ]

[Have you seen his trick dance steps... I think they are more standard than the video I'm learning now. Maybe they would have died if they couldn't learn it back then. They must have fought hard to learn it. ]

[It's possible that they would suffer from hunger and cold. Spies can't confide in others... It's actually very easy to become a psychopath. 】

"No way." Tang Shi said, "I think you, the owner, are quite relaxed. Although you are not as good as Yuan, you are also very good. It is not as scary as they say. You learned it in just one month. Right, owner."

After she finished speaking, she wanted to wait for the owner to respond, but found that the owner, who had always been heartless, had not made a sound, so he sat quietly opposite.

[To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple are OK. ]

His profile looked white and glowing in the candlelight. You can see his tall nose bridge and small jaw, but the upper half of his face was blocked by his bangs, casting a thick shadow under his forehead, blocking his eyes.

Tang Shi sat opposite him, but suddenly did not dare to speak to disturb him. The candle burned slowly between the two of them, and a drop of candle tears suddenly flowed down the candle.

"Ah? It's almost twelve o'clock, let's wait for "The Demon Records"." After a while, the owner suddenly came back to his senses. He raised his head and said as if he had just woken up from a dream.
