Yuan Yuanyuan entered the house and searched the house as usual to see if there was anyone hiding. After finding no one, she ran upstairs, opened the box that Tang Shi had given her, found a knife, and cut the box open.
There were a bunch of things in the box. After Yuan Yuanyuan opened it, she found that it was actually a textbook of Tang poetry...
Yuan Yuanyuan was shocked the moment she saw it.
My mom... What the hell? Why is this the first gift she received during the Chinese New Year
She picked up the pile of leaves, which had various patterns on them.
…
"I gave my textbooks to my boss." Tang Shi called Qiu Ling.
"Pfft... Why did you give him the textbook?" Qiu Ling asked.
"Just to tease him... Do you think what I'm doing is similar to giving gifts on birthdays?" Tang Shi asked.
"I think... the boss won't be angry..." Qiu Ling said, "The boss likes reading a lot."
"I don't know why he always reads my textbooks." Tang Shi said, "I think he may not have used this kind of textbooks before, so he looks at them as something new."
…
Yuan Yuanyuan thought for a while, then realized that she always took Tang Shi's books to read before, and she must have been seen by her, so she gave these books to her this time. She was a little amused. In fact, most of the things on it were in her blood jade magic book. She was just flipping through these things to see the signature of Yiqi at the back.
But now that Tang Shi had taken it, she would just flip through it. Although there was nothing else in it, she was quite interested in the introductions to the various monsters in the demon world.
This is a part of the magic book. It is the only part in the blood jade magic book and is very rare, so Yuan Yuanyuan kept it. She turned to the end and, as expected, there was the familiar "17" mark on it.
Being able to write with Arabic numerals in that era, and as a monster... he was definitely one of the most advanced monsters. If he were a human, he might be one of the first batch of talents to return from studying abroad.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why, but she felt a sense of emotion.
She sat on the chair waiting. To be honest, Jiang Taigong was confident when fishing, but Yuan Yuanyuan was not.
To be precise, there were some before she came from home, but it was already the second day of the Chinese New Year and not a single person was seen. Gradually, all of her bamboos were cut down.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked up at the sky. The monsters were even more lively today. Many little monsters came out with tiny lanterns in their hands.
Looking at the street, from a normal human perspective, it was simply a riot of demons, and for some reason it felt a bit like a comic convention... Yuan Yuanyuan turned her head back, picked up the phone next to her, flipped through the Dream Manga on it, and prepared to check out tonight's update.
She actually didn't have any expectations for tonight's update... Since there was some shocking news in the previous issue, naturally the following ones would be a little dull. She estimated that Ji Qiu would draw something related to Fanning.
While waiting for the comics, Yuan Yuanyuan flipped through the comment section of the previous issue. There were all kinds of comments online. This was a moment to witness the diversity of human species.
For the last comic, most readers were wondering who had brought Yuan to the court and who had grabbed his hair. Yuan Yuanyuan thought that Yuan was probably tricked by someone he knew... and this person was probably his brother-in-law.
And the phrase "for loyalty"... At this point, Yuan Yuanyuan herself couldn't quite figure it out. For loyalty? Why did everyone say that? Could it be that Yiqi... really did something disloyal back then
It doesn't seem like it... If Yiqi really did something to betray her, then she really didn't know what to say. But he did so much for the demon world, how could he betray her? He betrayed the demons
There are many things that don't make sense here, and there is a sense of weirdness everywhere. Although Yuan Yuanyuan feels that her logic is not very good, she still knows some basic common sense.
For example, she knew that if a person really worked hard and gave everything for a group... there was no reason for him to betray it, right
Yuan Yuanyuan thought this was very confusing... or maybe she was confused. The audience in the comment area had another opinion. They thought the truth of what happened back then was this - Yuan might have done something to betray the monster, and he was caught.
A small number of readers think that Yuan is likely to be whitewashed, so this "betrayal" is likely to be a misunderstanding, but Yuan Yuanyuan herself knows that it is not...
One big monster said so, two big monsters said so, and even many old monsters said so... This is not a real fictional comic. To some extent, this is reality. How could it be possible that everyone unanimously called someone a traitor
The comments section fully proved two points. The first point was that there was an information asymmetry between monsters and humans. At least everyone was discussing the traitor Yuan, and no one knew about the past glory of "Yi Qi". The second point was that there were really few monsters who would go online.
Do you think that the monster Yuan... could be pro-human
Of course, his attitude in the first few issues shows that he is pro-human.
Hmm... How should I put it, this guy is really a free-spirited person. It's bold to be pro-human during wartime, but I like him very much.
I feel like I should just get out of here if I don't accept it... He seems to have the same attitude now. He is so lazy when dealing with other monsters. If nothing happened to him during the war, he would probably be even more powerful now.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, it has been like this since ancient times, there is nothing to say when betrayal is discovered. But I still like his bitchy personality, he is still a playboy after being discovered... Most people are not so careless.
You know he is a bitch but you still like him. I think you are quite a bitch too.
Hey, can the guy above you speak more politely? Did I provoke you
Yuan Yuanyuan found that Yuan's character was inexplicably prone to quarrels, and she didn't know why. Anyway, there were many quarrels in the comment section because of Yuan.
Speaking of which, among the various two-dimensional characters that Yuan Yuanyuan has seen, Yuan is one that is quite easy to cause conflicts. Some two-dimensional characters are born with this kind of situation, which is largely related to the character's values and experiences.
Yuan Yuanyuan had quarreled with others because of this situation before... Such characters are usually quite magical in the two-dimensional world, and can be called the king of instigating conflicts. She didn't expect that the character Yuan would become such a being. How should I put it... It makes me feel quite complicated.
But she didn't look at it for long before the update was released. She put down what she was doing and went to read the comics.
The comic book cover finally returned to normal this issue, with a picture of Fanning. Today his picture has evolved again... Based on the decadent handsome boy in gray clothes in the previous issue, there is something else.
That is a demon pattern.
Huh?! What's going on? Yuan Yuanyuan was startled, thinking she had missed something, so she quickly turned the page to take a look, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that the demon pattern was painted on. Fanning felt that he was a bit strange among the monsters, so he specially drew one for himself.
This operation was exactly the same as what she did back then. For some reason, Yuan Yuanyuan remembered the time when she had painted her face with clown paint.
Before drawing, Faning recalled the demon patterns he had seen so far. Although he was a rookie at Sanqing Temple, a rookie was just a newbie. The demons he had seen in the first twenty years were not even as many as those he had seen in the past two months. So he hesitated for a while before drawing and started to draw a demon according to his memory.
Yuan Yuanyuan watched him draw two small crescent moons, then added some messy things on them. As he was drawing, she covered her face...
This thing... is really the "demon pattern in memory", isn't that her demon pattern
After finishing the drawing of Fanning in the cartoon, he added a few more strokes, then looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, blurted out "Why so effeminate", and left.
Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly heard a huge firework being set off outside, which seemed to be endless. She turned around and saw that the firework was blue. She wondered which big monster's firework it was.
She looked up and saw another convoy passing by the window.
Yuan Yuanyuan involuntarily pushed open the window and walked out. The moment she went out, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
She seemed to catch a glimpse of some black shadows at the edge of the fireworks.
Yuan Yuanyuan's mind was slightly confused.
Oh shit, is anyone there
She quickly used the chessboard technique to explore the surroundings, but to her surprise, she could not find any signs of life.
No... something is wrong...
Yuan Yuanyuan investigated again and felt it was getting weirder and weirder, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
That's not right... She clearly saw a moving black shadow just now. With her eyesight, there's no way she could be wrong.
Could it be that she was seeing things? Yuan Yuanyuan thought. She leaned out of the window and pretended to reach for a fake leaf that was created by magic.
In just that instant... She suddenly noticed a "rustling" sound in front of her.
… This scene was so dramatic that Yuan Yuanyuan watched helplessly as the “black sky” in front of her suddenly turned into a dark sky and everyone retreated backwards.
To be honest, this outrageous move stunned Yuan Yuanyuan.
Yuan Yuanyuan watched the "black sky" background in front of her suddenly recede, revealing the starry sky behind it.
She thought, what the hell, I was just wondering why it was so dark today, I thought it was a cloudy day... Holy shit it’s sunny today
There turns out there is a moon over there!
There are stars over there!
It was at that moment that she suddenly remembered the time when she saw Liu An sitting under the tree... It was at that moment that she realized that someone might have surrounded the area with an illusion.
Shit... She just said that half-baked chess board tactics were unreliable.
Yuan Yuanyuan was frantically doing something in her mind that was commonly known as hindsight... She used the chessboard technique to explore the surroundings, feeling the possible areas that the illusion might reach, to guess how many monsters had come.
Then she looked around... and it was all black.
By the way, I accidentally exposed myself in the darkness just now... Are you still hiding now
This... could it be that there is some meaning to this that she doesn't know about
Yuan Yuanyuan's hand trembled, and she pulled down a whole branch. She looked at the green and tender branch in her hand, silently felt sorry for her tree, and then shrank back into the house.
There was a sentence that Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know whether she should say it or not... Then she thought about it and realized that it was not good for a child to swear, so she didn't say it.
But what should I do now? How about… How about I play a few rounds of Landlord to calm down
It turns out that in the 21st century, when humans encounter scary things, their way of calming down is to play with their cell phones.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt that if there weren't a group of people watching her outside, she would definitely be playing with her phone... But with so many people watching her outside, she felt that it would be a bit shameless to take out her phone to play with it now, as if she was calling on others to fuck her.
Then what should I do
Yuan Yuanyuan unconsciously fiddled with the branch in her hand and coiled it into a ring.
By the time she came to her senses, the branch in her hand had been coiled into a small headband.
This was the only thing she knew how to weave with twigs.
The branches created by the magic were particularly beautiful. The magic had not yet dissipated, and the headbands made from them were particularly beautiful. There were also various small tender teeth on them.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at it for a long time and silently put the ring on her head.
The "dark sky" outside was in commotion for a barely noticeable second, but then it returned to calm.
