Before she finished reading the comic, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly heard a knock on her door.
As soon as she opened the door, she found Xiaoying outside. She was holding a large bag of snacks in her hand and standing at the door looking at Yuan Yuanyuan.
"I saw the lights in your house were on, so I guessed you were back." Xiaoying said, "Let me in."
Yuan Yuanyuan made way for her and watched Xiaoying quickly come in and sit on the sofa.
"Why are you here?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked.
"My mother took my cell phone away. I want to finish watching Monster Chronicles before going to bed, otherwise I can't sleep." Xiaoying said.
“… Then don’t watch it.” Yuan Yuanyuan was a little speechless, but still threw the phone to her, “Hurry up and watch it. Finish it in half an hour, then go back to sleep.”
She turned around and went to the bathroom, picked up a rag, and wiped the dust in the house. She had to go to work again tomorrow, and she went home less and less often.
"Sister Yuanyuan." Xiaoying's voice suddenly rang out in the room, "Monster... What is your daily life like?"
In the dim little room, her voice was so soft that it sounded like she was talking in a dream.
Yuan Yuanyuan wiped the windowsill and said as she wiped: "The life of a monster? Well... The life of a monster is actually not much different from that of a human. You just get up in the morning, work hard for a meal, and go back to sleep at night. You can tell by my cowardly look... There aren't so many things that destroy the world. I don't think I can even beat a ninja. The three-dimensional world has nothing to do with the two-dimensional world."
"Are there any monsters like those in Natsume?" Xiaoying half-lay on the sofa, "Then there are those very warm monsters, and they look very beautiful, like tree monsters or elves, fairy and beautiful..."
"There must be such monsters." Yuan Yuanyuan said, "There are many beautiful monsters, and there are also many handsome monsters. If the shapeshifting is powerful, then it would be beautiful... But such monsters have nothing to do with a little monster like me."
"..." Xiaoying turned around and looked at Yuan Yuanyuan, "Sister Yuanyuan, are you monsters born with all those magic skills? The kind in the comics... the ones that can set fires and spread the wind?"
"Setting the fire and spreading rumors?" Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why, but suddenly she wanted to laugh. She threw the rag aside, sat back on the sofa and asked, "What do you want to ask? Tell me."
The room suddenly became quiet again and Xiaoying closed her mouth again.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Xiaoying. She could tell that Xiaoying must have something on her mind, otherwise she wouldn't be so hesitant.
"I just..." After a long while, Xiaoying sat up on the sofa, "I think the monsters in the Monster Record are so handsome... like the powerful big monsters, that Yu Wu, that Yuan, that little brother in white, and the latest one in the red sweater, it seems like he can destroy the world with just a wave of his hand, I'm a little... envious."
"Why... are you envious of this?" Yuan Yuanyuan was silent for a full minute before finally saying this.
"It's just... you think he's handsome." Xiaoying suddenly didn't want to say anything more. She pushed Yuan Yuanyuan out and said, "Go clean the cabinet quickly and leave me alone."
Yuan Yuanyuan sat on the sofa for about two minutes before she answered in a daze, "Oh." Then she turned around and went back to cleaning the cabinet.
She wiped the cabinet for a while and heard no sound behind her. She turned around and saw that Xiaoying had fallen asleep.
Xiaoying's breathing became a little heavier at some point. Yuan Yuanyuan looked back for a while, took a blanket to cover her, then quietly turned off the lights and picked up her cell phone.
The comics below the Monster Records talk about some things related to monster customs. Every monster will "pay tribute" to the big monsters during the New Year. This tribute is not mandatory, but most monsters will prepare such a gift. Every year, the big monsters will receive many "gifts" at this time, and some big monsters will even compete in this.
In fact, not only the big monsters will compete, but even the small monsters will talk about it behind their backs. These are like a topic of conversation that can be talked about for several days.
Which big monster received the most, what he received this year, and which monster did not receive anything this year, these are all good topics of conversation.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the contents of the comic. It showed many examples of offerings received by monsters this year. Yuan Yuanyuan glanced through it quickly, but one of them caught her attention. It was about the offerings received by City C this year.
There were many offerings in City C this year, and they were all given to different big monsters. Yuan Yuanyuan saw a lot of good things. They were piled up in various places, some in luxurious cabinets, some in quiet bamboo huts, and some piled up in the huge square.
These offerings are all drawn in the comics, with some blurring, but not much.
At the very least, Yuan Yuanyuan could tell at a glance that the first one piled in the luxurious cabinet belonged to her boss... That kind of cabinet with a nouveau riche style was really very recognizable.
The New Year scene in the painting looked really lively, and Ji Qiu's introduction was quite detailed. To be honest, if it weren't for so many things written about monsters celebrating the New Year, she wouldn't know much about these things.
Over the years, she had always spent every Spring Festival in a state of confusion, because she didn't have the necessary conditions to celebrate the Spring Festival for humans, and she didn't know how to celebrate the Spring Festival for monsters. In previous years, she had seen the monsters enthusiastically preparing something during the New Year, but she never understood what it was.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the things in the comics and had an idea for the first time - should she learn to prepare like the monsters
But who could she give it to? It seemed like she didn't have any monsters she wanted to give it to.
Yuan Yuanyuan continued reading, and what happened next was all related to Fanning. A new girl appeared in this issue. She was very beautiful and had an exceptional temperament.
Despite this, Yuan Yuanyuan's eyebrows frowned the first time he saw this girl.
She didn't know why, but this girl's facial features always gave her a very familiar feeling... But she couldn't remember it no matter how hard she tried. The two new characters that appeared in the comics recently gave her the same feeling.
This feeling of wanting to remember something but just not being able to... is really indescribably painful.
Oh my god! Is there something wrong with my brain? I don’t have money to see a doctor at the end of the year!
Yuan Yuanyuan tapped her head, put her phone aside and went to sleep. At the same time, Liu An, who was far away on the other side of City C, looked at his phone, sighed, and scratched his head in pain.
He felt even worse when he saw the comments under the comics, such as "Ahhh! What a beautiful girl! Adopt her quickly!"
What the hell, you just have to collect it when you see a girl... You think the girl is an SSR and he is Qingming.
Today's readers... Liu An really doesn't understand sometimes, not to mention comics, even in novels, if there is a peerless martial arts, the readers would shout "collect, collect, collect"; if there is a girl, the readers would shout "collect, collect, collect", it's just like playing some stamp collecting game.
Liu An now has a headache whenever he thinks of that girl. It’s not that he doesn’t like pretty girls, but the girl that day was really a headache.
That day he was dealing with a corpse, and before he could send it to the "incinerator", he was suddenly caught up by a girl.
The girl was wearing a white dress, no shoes, and her feet were bleeding. She ran over in a hurry. At first, Liu An was quite polite to her, until the girl saw Liu An sewing up a corpse on the ground with a needle. Suddenly, she rushed to grab it like crazy, crying and cursing at him...
Liu An was a little confused by the girl's move. He was holding a big needle in his hand and watched the girl snatch the corpse from his hand. Suddenly, he shivered.
Big sister, don't you need stitches on your wound? There's blood all over the floor. And don't shake it like that, or your brain will pop out.
After the girl finished crying, she said a lot of things to the corpse.
Liu An just sat aside and listened quietly.
From what she said... the guy on the ground is her ex-boyfriend, they eloped together.
Oh... a gender-reversed version of Legend of the White Snake, and a be version of Legend of the White Snake.
To be honest, a monster dared to fall in love with a human being and even dared to elope, and now even dared to cry while holding his corpse. It showed that it was true love. Liu An really admired him.
But he didn't know why... He just felt something strange...
Thinking of this, he suddenly looked down at the three shallow bloodstains on the back of his hand.
That was when he was fighting for the body that day, and he was accidentally scratched by the girl's nails. The specific process was that he was unwilling to hand over the body at first, and the girl was whimpering and scratching him with her claws...
Ji Qiu, you are biased. You didn't draw this. Also, you didn't draw those chilling words that girl said. You only drew her running over and crying tenderly while holding the corpse. You didn't explain their relationship. Readers thought it was a girl crying because her good friend died...
Of course readers will be excited if you draw like this! Isn't this a little white flower
Liu An closed his phone dejectedly. Even though today's comics didn't make him happy, he still learned something.
For example, this strange custom... Liu An had heard about it from the old Taoist priest before, but he only thought it was a small-scale custom. However, today, he discovered that it was actually a very important thing, even as important as the Spring Festival for humans.
Should I... adapt to the local customs a little? Liu An suddenly thought, what if people think it's too weird
He looked at the three scars sleeping soundly beside him and began to think, then... who should I give it to
…
Yuan Yuanyuan casually flipped through the comics on the website and actually found quite a few fan works of Yao Ji.
She flipped through the pages and found quite a few fan fictions, including romance, BL, and even a few yuri ones...
Before we knew it, the fan community of Yao Ji has grown so large. After all, this comic is suitable for both FU and YY.
These people have wild imaginations. After seeing a rare cult couple of Hongxiu and Ranniang, Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she had nothing to fear. She even thought that the boss's drawing was pretty beautiful...
Calm down, calm down. Yuan Yuanyuan patted her head and said, "Calm down! Don't go astray!"
It's the end of the year and you don't have money to see a doctor!
After flipping through the pages for a while, she suddenly saw a fan comic with a very fresh style. She was attracted by it, not only because the style was quite close to the original, but also because the subject matter was very interesting.
This comic tells the story of an ordinary human being who travels through time and space to the body of a character called Yuan. The name of the comic is When I Became Yuan.
When Yuan Yuanyuan saw this, she clicked on it and read a few issues.
The first few issues were all very normal, nothing more than the various psychological fluctuations after traveling through time and space to become Yuan. This painter is very good, she discovered many hidden lines in the comics. At least in her comics, she drew out what hidden stories might be behind the character Yuan.
Huh? Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the painter's name.
Gao Ling is a female painter.
Very perceptive.
Then I looked at the following developments and found that Gao Ling drew a lot of little things about Yuan in those days.
Gao Ling drew many kinds of conjectures. For example, she "expanded" the part where Yuan was in the trial court. In her painting, she vaguely revealed the feeling that Yuan might have been wronged. Yuan Yuanyuan was shocked when she saw it.
How can I put it... This person is incredible. The way she draws him is equivalent to drawing Itachi as a tragic character before he was redeemed... It's simply a divine prediction, and it's a fan comic that people can take out and worship many years later.
However, Yuan Yuanyuan still felt a little uncomfortable watching it for two reasons. First, this comic... inexplicably portrayed Yuan as being very tragic, so tragic that it seemed as if the whole world had betrayed him.
He is very tragic... However, this comic is drawn from Yuan's first-person perspective, so it is equivalent to seeing all those tragic feelings from Yuan's perspective.
How to put it... Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why, but she couldn't stand it. Another reason why she couldn't stand it was that Yuan was drawn too big.
After the protagonist traveled through time and became Yuan, he could destroy the heavens and the earth with a casual wave of his hand. That grand scene... was simply like a naked mockery of Yuan Yuanyuan, who was reciting the Demonic Secret Art every day and ascending to heaven on the spot.
But most time-travel works will do this... If they don't do this, the plot won't go on, so it would probably be more fun this way.
Just think about it... traveling through time and space to another person's body, pretending to be a big shot without any effort, how cool it would be.
Just like what Xiaoying asked her this morning - are the abilities of monsters innate? When she asked this question, the look in her eyes was really envious.
She wanted to have that ability.
…
I looked at the people opposite me, and there was a hint of red in their eyes.
A trickle of blood flowed down my body, gathering into a small pool of blood, and a strand of hair stuck to my head.
I heard them whispering.
They want to kill me, I know it.
At that moment, it seemed as if all the voices around me disappeared, and there was only me and this chair left in the world.
…
Yuan Yuanyuan shuddered for no apparent reason.
This is the description of Yuan in the fan comic before he turned evil. The artist's setting is that Yuan turned evil after being judged.
… Then he was crossed over.
… Then he started to daydream.
Yuan Yuanyuan was looking at the plot in the comics, where Yuan killed someone today, wiped out a family tomorrow, and arrested someone the day after tomorrow.
She had been reading the comics for a long time, in which Yuan seemed to be running around the world killing families every day, and she couldn't help but start to wonder what she was doing in her daily life.
Monday, go to work, practice.
Tuesday, work, practice.
Wednesday, work, practice.
…
On weekends, I catch up on sleep, read comics, and practice martial arts.
For a moment, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly felt inexplicably guilty...
Oh my god, I'm so sorry for being such a loser and failing to live up to everyone's expectations.
But... to be honest, isn't this how everyone in this world lives? Even Yuan... is he any different
Yuan Yuanyuan shook her head and went to memorize her notes. However, she did not pay attention to the fact that the comic book was the fan comic with the fastest growing number of collections.
…
Some things are really ridiculous.
But everyone likes it this way, and everyone thinks that this is the truth, right
Cool, cool, cool. Everyone likes tragedy and everyone likes heroes.
People like to deify someone... and especially like to guess about his psychology and how he lives, just like how Korei guessed how desperate Yuan was in the comics, and drew him flying around killing his enemies every day.
Yuan Yuanyuan is sometimes like this too, but she doesn’t realize it.
And when everyone thinks something is like this... regardless of the mood of the person involved, the thing itself is very interesting.
