You Look Like You’re Drawing Me

Chapter 115

After the store was attacked by unknown people that day, Yuan Yuanyuan went home and stayed there for two days. She stayed in the house all the time, not morphing, but reading comics.

Originally Yuan Yuanyuan had a lot of things to do every day, so even though she often slacked off, she seldom could calm down and quietly finish reading a comic book or reading a novel.

Today was the day. Yuan Yuanyuan was afraid of getting into trouble, and she didn't have to go to work on the weekend, so she could sit down peacefully and watch something casually, as if she was giving herself a holiday.

Yuan Yuanyuan got up in the morning and cooked some instant noodles, then came back to clean up her room. She was actually quite worried about one thing, which was how Liu An was doing today. Yesterday she gave him two hundred yuan, which was the only spare money she had saved this month. She originally wanted to buy some snacks or something, but she was afraid that he would have no place to live, so she gave it to him first.

With two hundred yuan, you can live in a rental house for five or six days.

Yuan Yuanyuan was a little upset. She was thinking about whether she should change her appearance and secretly go out to see how Liu An was doing. She always felt that she was not qualified to be a boss. However, she reminded herself several times in her heart, "Don't go out", and then she gradually calmed down.

And now Liu An, whom she cared about, was sitting quietly alone in a small house, looking at the sky outside.

"Why did you come to see me?" asked San Dao Ba, "You have nowhere to go recently?"

"A little bit..." Liu An said, "What are you doing? What are you preparing for?"

He pointed at a large box in Three Scars' hand. The box was polished from a piece of stone and its surface looked very smooth.

Although the monsters have transformed into human form, their living habits are still quite close to those of the beast period. This can be seen from the fact that many monsters live in the wild and use stones and leaves to communicate.

It was obvious that a lot of thought had gone into this box. After seeing it, Liu An became curious as to who could be worthy of San Dao Ba spending so much time on it, so he asked him who it was for.

"It's for the regional boss." Three Scars turned around and said, "The regional boss has taken good care of us this year. You may have just arrived, so you haven't seen our boss much. But I'm sure that if you had seen him, you wouldn't be unprepared."

“…Ah?” Liu An looked at the three scars with a puzzled expression on his face.

He was mainly puzzled as to why when Sandaoba talked about this boss, his face actually turned red, similar to that of a young girl seeing her idol...

Liu An shook his head. He didn't expect that the girl with three scars could have such a girlish side.

He turned around to pack his bedding. Three Scars was still stuffing some things into a box. Then he sealed the opening and took out a note and wrote his name on it.

The monsters in City C have been busy preparing for the New Year recently. Although they have no concept of going home to reunite with their families, there is another thing that they have always followed.

Yuan Yuanyuan was eating instant noodles when she heard a buzzing sound from her phone, which made her upset. She picked up the phone and looked at what was inside, and found that the buzzing sound was actually the voice of Fat Cat and Black and Red chatting.

They posted a lot of pictures in the group. Yuan Yuanyuan sometimes didn't understand what they were talking about, so she often couldn't get a word in. But she would still peek at the screen, maybe she could figure it out after a while.

This time, as usual, they were talking about issues that Yuan Yuanyuan couldn’t understand. Yuan Yuanyuan didn’t understand what they were talking about, but she saw several very beautiful pictures.

One picture shows a huge tree that looks like it is carved out of ice and snow. It was taken at night and looks like an elf tree in the darkness.

There was another photo that left a deep impression on her. In that photo, countless black smoke rose from the ground and then gathered in the sky. It was the posture of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. However, this was definitely the largest Night Parade of a Hundred Demons that Yuan Yuanyuan had ever seen.

Group leader: This is the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons organized by our family this year. That tree represents the little monsters below.

Black and Red: Wow... This makes me want to kidnap you. Did you receive anything

Group leader: Yes, I can pretend after all. Are you underestimating my ability to pretend

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't pay attention to what they were talking about. It seemed that Fat Cat was just showing off his wealth. But no matter how he showed off his wealth, poor Yuan Yuanyuan didn't feel much, because the gap was too big, and she didn't feel any emotional fluctuations at all. If you threw a hundred yuan in front of her, she might react more strongly than this.

She opened Mengman again, then yawned, waiting for today's comic to be updated.

The previous comic strip drew the story of the man in red and Fanning, and now she really wanted to see if the next issue would draw the gay love between the two.

However, as soon as the cover of this issue came out, Yuan Yuanyuan knew that there would be no gay scenes, because the cover character of this issue was Fanning alone.

But in addition to Fanning, there is a vague background behind. That background is very beautiful. It is a huge field of monster heads, and these monster heads are crowded in a black smoke.

Huh? This black smoke is...

Yuan Yuanyuan recognized what the background was. It turned out to be the background of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.

Today's comic is very interesting. It puts a pure Taoist priest in the front and a huge picture of a hundred demons parading at night in the back.

What is this for... Are you going to draw Faning fighting against hundreds of monsters

But the plot is a bit inconsistent, isn't it a bit abrupt? Besides, Fanning is a noob. Although she doesn't despise noobs, it's impossible for a monster to be so weak.

Yuan Yuanyuan opened the comic, and the first thing that came out was not a picture of Fanning, but a bird's-eye view of a huge city.

Looking down from above, the bustling city is very quiet, yet extremely lively.

The comics are silent, but the whole city is brightly lit, with countless neon lights and colorful lights in the city.

But besides those lights, there are also quiet creatures decorating the city.

Monsters.

Although it is now the industrial age, the monsters still live according to the way of life in the old era. They shuttle through high-rise buildings just like they shuttle through the forest.

Monsters are very resilient. Even in very harsh environments, they still maintain their own way of life.

Yuan Yuanyuan paused when she saw the sentence "Monsters are very resilient". She was deeply touched by this, as monsters are really very resilient.

But she didn't dwell on it any longer and continued looking down.

Countless points of light rose from the ground and then flew into the sky. They were all monsters in this city. As the New Year was approaching, these monsters began to prepare their New Year plans.

Fanning watched the monsters coming and going. He had lived here for two months, and this was the first time in his life that he lived so close to monsters.

During these two months, he witnessed the unique lifestyles of many monsters. Although he had learned a lot from the monster exorcists before, it was not until he was there himself that he could truly understand what some of the words of his predecessors meant.

He remembered that he had read such a sentence in a book: Monsters all respect the strong, and their respect for the strong even reaches an extreme state.

This obedience to the strong is even imprinted in their bones and blood.

"Back then, our C City had big monsters that all living beings were afraid of. It was because of those big monsters that our C City was able to survive." The old man said, "But now, those big monsters have almost all fallen."

"It's not your fault. After all, it's a war." Lin Gutou said: "But do you really want to call Yuan out?"

"We kept him here because we anticipated this situation, didn't we?" The old man looked at Lin Gutou and said, "It's just that we were all worried about Yuan's condition at that time, so we didn't put too much thought on it."

"What about now? How can you be sure that he will agree to you now?"

"City C is his home after all. It's where he was born and raised." The old man said, "If I go there now, he should understand what I mean."

"Do you have any relationship with him?" Lin Gutou said hesitantly.

"It's not a close relationship. I was just his squad leader for four years when he first joined the army." The old man sighed, "But after the Blood Jade Demon Army recruited him away, there was no contact between us."

"Hey, you two actually have such a relationship?" Lin Gutou suddenly became interested. He really didn't expect that the old man in front of him had been the team leader of that person back then.

"The last time we met... No, it should be the last time I met Yiqi, was in the courtroom." The old man said, "I didn't know what happened at the time, but before that, I thought he would become a great monster unprecedented in history."

"Was he very powerful back then?" Lin Gutou asked, "How powerful was he?"

"Heh." The old man laughed in an unclear tone, "How powerful is he? You ask him how powerful he is?"

There seemed to be a hint of sigh in his voice.

"If we could go back to this time a hundred years ago... can you imagine what his door would have looked like?"

"Hmm... there are a lot of monsters?" Lin Gutou asked, "and all kinds of offerings?"

“A lot of monsters?” The old man’s voice became strange again. “No, almost all the monsters.”

"All of them."

The room calmed down for a moment. Lin Gutou was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

"Hmm..." His expression also became strange. "It sounds interesting... Those crazy people from the Southern Cult and the monsters from our C City can actually reach a consensus?"

His words obviously didn't hit the point, but the old man didn't pay too much attention to his words that were obviously just to change the subject. This is Lin Gutou's personality, and it has been like this for a long time.

"There is no monster who studies trickery who doesn't know him." The old man said softly, "Every battle of his will be recorded by the monsters using expensive jade plates, and then studied repeatedly."

"Well... But now almost every big monster will be treated like this, it's not surprising." Lin Guotou said.

"No, the concept is different." The old man said: "The monsters study each of his magic skills, not because they want to observe how a magic skill is used. However, the jade plates recorded by the big monsters now can only teach us how to use a magic skill."

"They study witchcraft because they want to learn it," the old man repeated. "They don't want to learn how to use it, they just want to learn it."

"Ah? What's the difference?" Lin Gutou asked, "Isn't it all... learning how to use it?"

"Of course there is a difference." The old man said, "Learning and using are different. Otherwise, where do you think all the tricks you have learned now came from?"

The monsters' worship of powerful forces gradually became a strange characteristic. Yuan Yuanyuan slowly thought that they were a group that was easily instigated. Once a strong person appeared, he would become the leader of the group.

In addition to the unique system of big monsters protecting small monsters, monsters will give gifts to the big monster they admire most during the Chinese New Year.

Why are you saying it so euphemistically? Isn't it just a disguised form of tribute? Yuan Yuanyuan complained.

Maybe it was because she was a half-demon, so she couldn't understand this mentality. She could understand paying tribute at ordinary times, but when it was time for them to make their own decisions, almost all monsters would pay tribute.

In her opinion, as a girl with a human mentality, some people just help a lot in daily life, so it is fine to pay tribute to express gratitude. But some people are completely like feudal slaves and slave owners, and slaves actually have to pay tribute... I don’t quite understand.

Yuan Yuanyuan complained but didn't take it seriously. She has never been interested in the sociology of monsters. However, in the kindergarten area in the distance, a little girl was led by her mother to a square.

"Tiantian, just put it there." said Mom.

"If I put it there, will the great demon senior be able to receive it?" asked the little girl.

"Sure." Mom said with a smile.

She actually didn't tell her daughter that even if she put it there, the big monster might not be able to get it because he never showed up.

However, when paying tribute this year, many monsters spontaneously prepared a portion for the big monster. Since they couldn't find him, they placed them all in this conspicuous square.

The mother led the little girl back again. The moon was very round today.

A few scattered boxes of different sizes were placed in the deserted square, reflecting silver light under the moonlight.
