It was a Thursday night and everything was quiet, as if no one was around.
Yuan Yuanyuan walked out of the house, wearing a pure black shirt, and walked slowly on the street, looking around carefully as she walked.
She moved very carefully, just like a hamster leaving a hole. It was indeed not a good time for her to go out, but she had no other choice.
Wearing this dress, she took the subway alone, from the west of the city to the east, and then walked up from a very remote place.
Yuan Yuanyuan came out this time to show her face, because Ji Qiu's update frequency is very regular. Usually there is one update on Monday and Saturday, and occasionally there will be extra updates. This time, Saturday is approaching, and she is going to show her face before the next comic is published so that she can appear in the comic.
The comic has been published for 14 issues so far. Her only appearance in these 14 issues was when she wore a black windbreaker and killed a lizard monster, and when she saved the white-clothed female ghost. For a popular character, such appearance frequency alone is not enough.
For Yuan Yuanyuan, she actually has certain advantages. After all, it is well known that the earlier a character appears, the greater the possibility that he will become an important character.
Well... exclude those characters who may die young and those who serve as stepping stones for the protagonist in the early stages.
Yuan Yuanyuan really didn't know how to increase her role. She felt like those funny hosts in variety shows, trying hard to get more people to look at her by doing some weird things.
She lay in bed thinking for a whole day, and finally came up with a very simple solution.
… Since her current role is a monster that is inclined towards humans, she should make good use of this characteristic. After all, the people who read comics are all humans, and it is obvious which monster will be more popular, a monster that kills humans or a monster that helps humans.
Especially the comic book "Yoki" is different from the ordinary. Currently, the comics are all about cool and domineering monsters, and the relationship between them and humans is like fire and water. The monster "Man in Black" stands out in this environment, because he is the only monster with an ambiguous attitude towards humans... Maybe taking a different approach can have a good effect.
Yuan Yuanyuan came to a very remote place this time. It was actually no longer under the jurisdiction of her boss, but belonged to another person. She knew that her boss didn't get along well with the boss here, and the monsters in different jurisdictions would have different smells, so she seldom came here.
However, ever since she was blocked at the door and not allowed to enter her home last time, she discovered something magical - after she transformed, her physique would also change, and she would truly become another person.
…
Well, she is no longer surprised by anything Ji Qiu does.
Her own boss was hunting her down, but as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and maybe people here were not as sensitive to the "men in black" as they were back home.
Yuan Yuanyuan came this time to find out if there were any monsters doing evil, so that she could suddenly step forward and save humanity when the monsters were doing evil.
If that human is a girl, then this scene is called a hero saving a beauty. If that human is a man, then this scene is called... um...
Yuan Yuanyuan threw away the weird words in her mind, and then walked alone on the street, looking for the evil spirit around her.
Yuan Yuanyuan has actually killed quite a few monsters over the years. Although she always says that she is a weakling, to be honest, a real weakling would not be able to live to her age.
She was just not familiar with many of the common skills of monsters, but she had an instinctive reaction to battle.
Most monsters do not have the habit of educating their children hand-in-hand like human elders. Many monsters just let their babies fend for themselves after giving birth, so there are many things that monsters know as soon as they are born.
This is just like in the animal world, many baby antelopes can walk within minutes of being born, while many humans take a long time to complete this action.
To some extent, Yuan Yuanyuan feels that monsters and animals are actually very similar. Of course, many monsters are based on animals...
Survival instincts, or identifying objects by smell. Now, whenever Yuan Yuanyuan watches the animal world, she feels very nervous when she sees lions using urine to mark their territory, or male dung beetles using smell to find female dung beetles...
Cough cough.
Stop talking nonsense and look for her quickly. Her time is from morning to afternoon, and she has to catch the last bus at 9 o'clock in the evening to go back to her home to work.
In the city, the relationship between monsters and humans is still very delicate. Before becoming a monster, Yuan Yuanyuan had never imagined that there were so many dangerous people hidden in the city where they live every day.
Yuan Yuanyuan lowered her head and walked back and forth in the streets and alleys, trying hard to distinguish the breath coming from all directions. When she walked to some remote places, she would hear a lot of tiny sounds, and these sounds did not make people feel very good.
In this chaotic city, such things are not difficult to find. Not long after, Yuan Yuanyuan's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Her eyes were directed straight to a place where there seemed to be no one. However, Yuan Yuanyuan's fingers slowly clenched.
… Although she doesn’t want to admit it, Yuan Yuanyuan has always been afraid of getting into trouble. To put it simply, she is a coward.
That's why she has been hiding for so many years, trying hard to avoid situations that require head-on confrontation.
In her heart, she still longs for a normal human life. Over the years, she has obeyed the law. She doesn't litter, doesn't spit, and never cuts in when she sees a red light...
However, even she herself knew that blood and violence played a very important role in the daily life of monsters.
…
"Yuanyuan, there are many important people coming today, so it will be very busy. You'd better prepare well." Sister Li Zi said to Yuan Yuanyuan.
"Okay, okay." Yuan Yuanyuan panted, picked up the apron beside her and tied it around her waist, then wrapped her hair with a headscarf.
She had just gotten off the subway and ran here at the speed of wind, finally making it to the bar.
As a poor person... She still doesn't dare to be late. She may not have her salary deducted for being late, but she is not sure whether she can still work here next month.
Yuan Yuanyuan began to clean the wine caldron in front of her with hot water. As she washed, she couldn't help laughing secretly.
Yes, it's very strong during the day today.
And most importantly, she obtained information that the boss of the neighboring district did not list the "man in black" as a dangerous person.
She thought back to what happened this morning, thinking to herself, should this be okay? She had been trying so hard to look cool...
She tried her best to make every movement look good, which resulted in her accidentally getting stabbed twice... Well, that's not the point.
When she made each move, she couldn't help thinking that maybe this move would be drawn into a comic, become a big shot, and be cut out as a wonderful scene in the future, or made into a poster...
Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't see her own face, but she was always imagining her own movements in her mind.
She felt... her movements were neat and tidy, and particularly manly. After all, she spent the entire night doing it by following her idol.
This all falls within the scope of violent aesthetics. What Yuan Yuanyuan imagined in her mind was a very exciting and smooth fighting scene.
Every move is so handsome, handsome, handsome, handsome...
"Yuanyuan! Is the wine hot enough?"
“…Oh, oh, here it comes!” Yuan Yuanyuan, who was in the midst of her sexual fantasies, was startled.
She hurriedly walked over with the heated wine and almost tripped over something on the ground.
… Yeah, so don’t daydream during work hours, just work hard…
…
On Saturday of this week, the latest issue of "Yao Ji" was drawn.
Yuan Yuanyuan took a bath and burned incense early in the morning, then cooked all the remaining ribs.
She sat on the bed alone, very excited, waiting for the comics to come out.
… At this point, she actually still had a sense of excited shame in her heart. Just like a celebrity who was on TV for the first time, she kept secretly watching the part about herself and then judged her performance in her heart.
The moment the comic appeared, Yuan Yuanyuan quickly opened the latest chapter of the comic, and sure enough, she was in the scene of this chapter.
… It seems that she did a good job that day. Although she didn’t kill the monster, the performance was good enough for Ji Qiu to draw her own picture among so many monsters.
She took a deep breath and looked at the latest issue with a feeling of trepidation and excitement. In her mind, she imagined a very handsome and cold man in black, who stood up and saved the beauty when faced with a monster that was harming humans.
…I don’t know who is more handsome compared to her boyfriend.
However, as the saying goes, sometimes things don't turn out the way you imagined.
There is another saying that goes, the way you see yourself is actually different from how others see you...
When celebrities appear on TV, their facial flaws will be magnified. There are many things that we usually don’t notice, but they become extremely obvious on TV, such as their walking movements, some small expressions, and even their eyes…
This kind of comic that shows a person from all aspects is more comprehensive than what is shown on TV.
The moment Yuan Yuanyuan saw the part belonging to the man in black, her expression was extremely excited. However, as she watched more and more, her expression became more and more rigid, and finally the smile froze on her face...
In general, her goal was achieved. Indeed, because of this scene, she attracted a lot of people's attention. Just looking at the number of comments below, you can see that the comments about the "man in black" are increasing rapidly, and the top three likes are all about her.
However, the self in the comics is not quite the same as she imagined herself to be...
… It magnified all the things that Yuan Yuanyuan hadn’t noticed.
