Yuan Yuanyuan could tell at a glance that the man in red was probably going to attend the Hundred Demons Festival... Why was she so sure? Because the man in red always wore a red sweater all year round, and he rarely changed the style.
So if he suddenly dressed so formally, he must be going out to attend something important.
Just like her...
After Yuan Yuanyuan watched the man in red in the cartoon go out, Fanning sat alone in the room in a daze. After a while, he suddenly wondered why he didn't go out to take a look. Although he was a newcomer and didn't know anything, he didn't need to go far, just walk around a few times nearby.
Then Fanning went out and began to walk aimlessly on the street, watching the unique New Year customs of the nearby monsters.
Fanning looked at the monsters around him who were dressed in all kinds of strange ways. They were wearing solemn and luxurious clothes, holding small lights or some strange things in their hands, and wandering on the street.
He thought this was a bit strange... Generally speaking, it was very different from humans, so naturally he would feel a little uncomfortable.
But overall it was still very interesting. He looked up at the sky and watched a long dragon-like team passing in front of him.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the pictures in the comics. It was indeed quite exciting, at least much more exciting than she had imagined.
Although she really wanted to see what the Hundred Demons Festival was like, she was floating in the sky the entire first day of the festival and didn't see anything. Now that she saw it from the comics, she was able to fulfill her wish a little.
The screen is full of gold, blue and purple, which is indeed more attractive than just red. It looks like the painter spilled the paint and smeared countless paints on the black and gray background.
Yuan Yuanyuan likes this kind of scene very much. Although she has always been more like a human, in this case, she still has to say that monsters are much better than humans in this regard.
They are born to suit those brilliant colors.
Fanning stared at the sky in a daze. He didn't know who was sitting in those cars flying in the sky. He just felt inexplicably that it would be a very cool and domineering scene to sit in the cars and overlook the city.
Sitting in those cars were big monsters. Fanning had heard that there would be a lot of monsters coming tonight, and he couldn't help but imagine how gorgeous and charming each of the monsters sitting in those cars would be.
…bullshit.
Yuan Yuanyuan was so upset that her face was filled with black lines.
Look, this is caused by the information asymmetry between monsters and humans... You can't see a ghost sitting there, you can only see a bunch of car exhaust.
In fact, the only thing that could be seen on it was the exhaust gas from a carriage... She seriously suspected that the blue-purple thing was actually the exhaust gas from a carriage.
But the car was still very comfortable, Yuan Yuanyuan had to be honest about this. Apart from this, the snacks provided were delicious and the tea was tasty.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she could see the effect of a bad drama by watching this... that is, the plot itself is not important, the essence is to complain.
She began to secretly wonder how much she would complain after reading today's update.
Fanning looked up at the sky, and suddenly he felt a little surprised.
He thought of countless things in his mind, and the one that concerned him the most was how his predecessors defeated this group of talented people in the past
In those days, it was not like today, where you can fly into the sky on a plane or fight with cannons and tanks... That was a real fight with flesh and blood.
Liu An covered his face silently.
Okay... Why did you draw something like this
This was what he complained about in his mind when he went to watch Tang Shi's Night Parade of a Hundred Demons that day... In fact, he was watching the show with great interest while saying it was unscientific.
After all, he didn't go out at all on the day of the Hundred Demons Festival, but Ji Qiu might have done it for convenience, or maybe to help conceal his identity, so he simply painted his thoughts when he went out that day.
But this question... He thinks it is actually easy to answer. It's nothing more than that humans are more courageous... Didn't they just win the war against the US and aid Korea
As Liu An was thinking, he suddenly became absent-minded. He turned around and looked at Yuan Yuanyuan sitting on the chair with a subtle expression on her face.
It’s hard to describe the subtle expression on “his” face. Anyway, the distribution of muscles on his face seems a little bit wrong. It looks like he’s smiling and crying at the same time.
"What's wrong, boss?" Liu An asked.
“…No, nothing.” Yuan Yuanyuan said.
She discovered that Ji Qiu really liked to include some personal opinions in the comics... Many of these personal opinions were described using the protagonist's psychological activities.
After all, for readers, this world of monsters is seen through Faning's eyes, and Faning has a certain freshness about this world, just like the readers themselves.
However, in the process of popularizing the world of monsters... Ji Qiu particularly likes to bring in his own opinions, and many of these opinions are related to the history of monsters.
But there is no other way, right? If you want to learn about a completely unfamiliar place, in addition to understanding its current situation, you will also get to know some of its history.
—So here comes the point, what is the history of monsters
Yuan Yuanyuan herself was not very clear about those things that happened a long, long time ago, but she still had a good idea of the history of monsters in modern times.
It is inseparable from several key words - war, blood, and army.
Ji Qiu's arrangement in this regard was quite clever. The general background he set was exactly the war of that year. Even the big boss and the male supporting role were characters in the war of that year.
So this way of telling the story is like listening to an ancient and mysterious story from the grandfather's generation, and it also feels a bit like when Naruto was running for village chief and discovered his father, his mother, his master, his master's gay friend, his senior brother, his senior brother's gay friend, his own gay friend, and his own awesome identity...
Take Faning for example... This time he discovered the awesome identity of the boss he was about to face.
Yes, I'm talking about Yuan.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the comics with dead eyes. He thought to himself, I sit in the car all day, oblivious to what's happening outside. All I want is to go home and sleep. What can you tell from that
What happened this time actually started when Fanning suddenly thought of what he had learned in the sect.
…
As Fanning was walking down the street, he suddenly remembered something.
This was something he learned when he was still Sanqing. It was a story about monsters and humans back then.
Legend has it that when the war started, humans had the upper hand at the beginning. During that time, the monsters suffered many casualties, so their morale was low.
However, just when humans wanted to hold a celebration ceremony, a sudden action disrupted their plans.
It was a completely unexpected Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, and also the most famous Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in the history of monsters.
It was a night parade of a hundred demons organized by an army of monsters, led by countless big monsters. They led an arrogant and mighty monster army, passed by the edge of the battle line, and then flew back. Those who saw the scene that day will never forget it for the rest of their lives.
On that day, humans did not understand the meaning of this action. They were simply shocked by the spectacular scene. Later, when the monsters on the battlefield suddenly became more motivated, they finally understood that there was a deeper meaning behind this action.
It is like a ritual among monsters, through which they enhance their cohesion and fighting power.
After that incident, the term "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" was finally taken seriously by humans.
Yuan Yuanyuan silently took out her little notebook.
Then she began to take notes frantically on "Yao Ji".
Write it down, write it down! Look at Ji Qiu's ability to express himself. It can be written into the textbook as a definition.
Fanning walked down the street and saw many people wearing masks and hoods.
Their masks are all embroidered with a rising moon, making them look like facial masks.
"What are they... doing?" Fanning asked an acquaintance nearby. He knew that these were the monsters responsible for security, but the fact that so many of them came at once... was still a little unbelievable to him.
"They?" said the old man next to him, "They are here to protect this place... It's not very peaceful here recently."
"Not peaceful?" Fanning felt nervous again after hearing this.
He is now very afraid of unrest... because if there is unrest, his identity may be exposed.
"What's wrong? Hasn't everything been pretty peaceful lately?"
"No way." The old man said, "Didn't we open the protective shield some time ago? It was not peaceful at that time. Recently, everyone wants to step on us. But this year, I heard that they brought a lot of big monsters. Didn't you see that the scene this year is much more lively than last year? They will go to the edge of the city for a walk later."
"I'm sorry... I've only been here for a few months..." Fanning said a little embarrassedly, "Which big monsters did you invite?"
The old man said, "Most of the big monsters in East City are here, and some of the big monsters who have been hiding have also been dragged out... I heard that a very powerful person was called in to shake up the place."
"Big shot?" Fanning wondered, "Who is that big shot?"
"Who knows? The higher-ups didn't tell us, so how can little monsters like us know? That's for the big monsters to see." The old man laughed.
Fanning scratched his head, thanked him, and turned to leave.
He was wondering along the way... Who is this big shot
No way…
When Yuan Yuanyuan saw this, she had a premonition for some reason...
She flipped the page and saw a spectacular procession. Even though this procession was drawn on paper, its aura could be felt through the paper.
It's so domineering and majestic that it's hard to describe.
There were blue and purple lights all around, as well as patches of silver light. Amidst their majesty, this team also had a bit of mystery.
Seeing this, Yuan Yuanyuan felt that it was not the case...
She thought to herself that it definitely wasn't the case... The place she went to that night wasn't that awesome. The whole time it was filled with the sound of chanting. She just stared at the wheels in a daze. How could there be such a spectacular and luxurious scene? It was like an emperor on patrol.
And when she turned another page, she suddenly saw someone in the car at the front of the line asking a question.
"Where are we?"
"We've returned to the city."
A corner of the car's curtain was opened, and two people could be seen sitting there. The one asking the questions was an old man, and there was another person sitting opposite him.
There was a faint blue light burning inside the car.
The light fell on the chin of the man opposite the old man, casting a shadow above his nose.
He had a furry white cape around his neck, which seemed to cover his entire body, yet made his skin look very white.
The old man lowered the curtains of the car, and the scene inside the car flashed by and could no longer be seen.
