"Yuan!" A monster below shouted madly towards that direction.
The figure that flashed by was so fast that there was almost no trace of him. Monsters kept coming from all around to try to stop him, but all failed.
When another monster flashed by, a sarcastic smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The monsters around were all panicked, because they found that they could no longer find any trace of that person.
Many people saw traces of the Abyss around, so they cast a few spells there, but after the spells, the place was still empty.
"Where did Yuan go?"
"I didn't see it clearly. Who of you saw it clearly just now?"
"I didn't see it clearly either... He ran too fast."
"That's Yuan... Hurry up and chase him outside. Surround this place."
Countless people surrounded the area, and countless shadows appeared in the streets and alleys.
People felt an unusual sensation on the streets. Although they didn't know what was happening, they all hid in their houses and dared not go out.
Countless things on the street were disturbed, and a skinny wild cat let out a shrill cry, breaking the tranquility of the night.
No one knows what will happen here tonight, and no one knows when this farce will end tonight.
…
Yuan Yuanyuan read the comics, took out her phone, and frantically called Fat Cat, "Hurry! Hurry up Fat Cat! Watch the Monster Chronicle tonight, something big has happened!"
"Don't shout... I'm watching." Fat Cat's subtle voice came over, "Well... I feel like this Ji Qiu seems very casual, a little beyond my expectations."
"Don't be surprised... You're going to win big this time, you know that?" Yuan Yuanyuan shouted into the phone. She was now afraid that Fat Cat would also be targeted by Ji Qiu. In her mind, being targeted by Ji Qiu was synonymous with being targeted by the devil.
Fat Cat's voice sounded a little indifferent, with a sense of calmness that was not what Yuan Yuanyuan had expected. "No, this is a good thing. Let me take a look at the situation first. Don't get excited. I think I may be able to survive this time. If he doesn't say anything and kills me directly, I'll be in danger. But now he seems to want to discuss it with me."
"Discuss with you? What?" Yuan Yuanyuan didn't understand.
"Originally I thought Yuan might come to kill me, but I didn't expect Ji Qiu to save my life." Fat Cat said, "Don't worry, I won't die for the time being. I think Ji Qiu is still stronger than Yuan."
“You fucking idiot…” Yuan Yuanyuan was about to ask if he was an idiot, but when she thought that Feimao had no idea that she was behind Yuan, she didn’t want to kill him at all, so she held her words back.
She now feels inexplicably aggrieved, as if she wanted to liberate the people, but the people did not trust her and turned around and joined the enemy. This is how she feels now.
"The first 30 pages or so are all about me. Look how powerful I am. Facts have proved that Guibu is the number one magic. I have lived for decades, and I am the most proficient in Guibu, but I am still not as good as Yuan." said Fat Cat.
"After all, this guy is the real master of this stuff. But since he draws it like this, it seems that I really interrupted what Yuan originally wanted to do, so Ji Qiu just continued to draw what I did..."
"You're overthinking it. What if they didn't intend to do this at all?" Yuan Yuanyuan was a little displeased with Fat Cat now, so her tone was a little aggressive.
"You can figure this out just by calculating it." Fat Cat said, "I'm telling you the truth, the person you saw that day was the three-dimensional Yuan... Are you shocked?"
No. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at her phone and gritted her teeth.
"We ran into him when we were coming back, which means he originally wanted to go that way. But I intercepted him halfway, so he must have been a little confused, so he turned around to look for us, and then he found us." said Fat Cat.
He said with a somewhat fascinated tone: "Wow... Now that I think about it, that night was really wonderful. The two of us met one of the most terrifying monsters in the monster world. We greeted him and exchanged a few words with him. He even held me in his palm..."
Yuan Yuanyuan heard Fat Cat seem to shake his head over there, "Don't think too much. I don't dare to go home in this state now, but if it really doesn't work... let's talk about it later."
He hung up the phone right after he finished speaking, not giving Yuan Yuanyuan a chance to reply. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the call record and felt inexplicably angry. She flipped through the comics below.
From her own perspective, she could clearly tell which was Fat Cat and which was her. She believed that Fat Cat could also tell the difference easily, but apart from the two of them... there was probably no third person in the world who could tell the difference.
… No, there’s still a few more autumns.
There was no trace of Yuan anywhere, as if his existence had been erased.
A trace of cold sweat slowly appeared on the forehead of a big monster standing at the highest point of the city.
The wind was particularly strong at that height. There was another monster standing next to him. Although that monster looked to be of a lower level, there was no expression on his face. He seemed a lot calmer than the monster next to him.
Half of the city is brightly lit, and half is hidden in darkness.
The big monster took out a handkerchief to wipe it, then looked at the monster next to him and said, "You tell me... Was it right or wrong for us to take that thing over here?"
"Sir, why do you ask that?" The monster next to him bowed slightly and said, "You have successfully protected the city for fifty years... If it weren't for your decision at that time, our city might no longer exist."
“Is that so…” The big monster sighed slowly, and a demon pattern slowly appeared on his forehead, which looked like the wrinkles on an old man’s forehead.
…as if filled with an indescribable tiredness.
"Since we have decided to do this, we should not have any scruples." The monster next to him said, "There are only a few monsters left who opposed it back then. If we insist on doing this, we will still be considered as heroes. But if we give up, we will be laughed at by the people back then."
Suddenly, a shrill scream was heard from the city below.
Yuan Yuanyuan frowned and looked at the pictures in the comics.
She suddenly realized that there seemed to be a change of actors here, and the following scenes were all hers.
There is a small detail here. There were no casualties among the monsters before, but from here on, some monsters have been killed.
It was because of this detail that Yuan Yuanyuan could immediately tell that the person Ji Qiu was painting was probably her.
In this way, Fat Cat is still kinder than her. At least he didn't kill the monster. She, on the other hand, has a bit of a bad temper and basically just chopped her way through.
"Why is it so noisy over there?" Faning, who was in the chaotic city, looked towards the edge of the city. There he could see many traces of monster activities. It was not usually like this there.
He had the corpse of a monster in his hand. The monster looked dead, and its heart had been taken out of its chest.
Another girl in a white dress squatted next to him. She watched Faning's every move with great interest, which made Faning break out in a cold sweat.
"Young lady," he said, "don't you need to go home so late?"
"Why should I go home? They won't care about me even if I go home." The girl in the white dress said naively.
"But you can't... forget it." Fanning seemed to be holding back, but after thinking about it, he suddenly swallowed the words in his mouth.
This girl was the monster girl with a human friend whom he met that day... Fanning discovered these days that this girl seemed to be missing something, but a girl with a sound mind wouldn't be squatting here in the middle of the night looking at this thing.
Fanning lifted the monster up with great effort. The girl next to him didn't seem scared at all and said to him, "I'll help you too."
At that moment, Fanning felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He felt that this girl was really... He didn't know what to say. If it weren't for the fact that every time he changed his form, this girl would always find him in one unimaginable way after another, he felt that he would never see this girl again.
Fanning smiled awkwardly and said to the girl, "Let's... stop staying here and go somewhere else."
After he finished speaking, he quickly stood up and walked towards the chaotic city. He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly heard the girl behind him shout, "No! You can't go over there!"
Fanning turned his head.
"No! You can't go through there!"
"Why... can't I pass?" Fanning was a little confused.
"Over there... You can't go through there!" The girl didn't explain clearly, but her innocent little face showed an anxious look.
Fanning didn't quite understand why she said that, but at this moment, suddenly a loud explosion was heard from behind, attracting his and the girl's attention.
He and the girl turned their heads at the same time, just in time to see a fierce fire appearing at the edge of the city.
What's that over there? Fanning's eyes narrowed slightly.
He couldn't see what was happening over there, but there were already many monsters surrounding there.
…
A man stood quietly at the edge of the city and looked behind him.
The flames all around him shot up into the sky, but only illuminated half of his face.
He was dressed in black and looked ahead with a calm look in his eyes.
The explosion caused a lot of debris to fly, some of which brushed past his face. He didn't move, just stood there quietly, as if he knew that the thing would not hurt him.
…
Yuan Yuanyuan recognized it at a glance. It seemed that it was when she was standing at the entrance of City C.
She looked at Yuan in the comic book for a long time.
This seems to be the only positive picture of Yuan in the entire comic.
At other times, especially the fat cat part, it was basically just a flash, and basically only part of it was drawn, such as the upper or lower half of the face.
Drawing like this actually made Yuan Yuanyuan feel a little weird, but after thinking about it again...it seemed like there was nothing wrong with it.
She continued reading with this conflicted feeling.
"He stopped at the entrance." said a monster nearby.
"What, what should we do?" Another monster next to him said, "Should we go back and tell the adults?"
"It's too late."
"Yuan." A monster stood up and shouted at Yuan who was standing there, "You broke into our city without permission. Is this your attitude as a big monster?"
… Wait, is this what they shouted? Yuan Yuanyuan in front of the screen was confused.
It’s not her fault. Her ears were buzzing from the explosions at the time, and she couldn’t hear what the person on the other side was shouting.
“The monster in your city…” The man who was standing there with a blank expression just now suddenly chuckled, and there was something playful in that smile.
He didn't say anything, just shook his head, and then suddenly disappeared from under the eyes of the monsters.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at this ending and sat on the chair in a daze for a few seconds. This daze lasted until Sister Li Zi started howling again and Si Qun started to crawl under the table again.
She pushed the four groups aside and secretly read the message that Fat Cat sent her. Ji Qiu was really calculating... Do you think that the last sentence that Yuan didn't finish was about you monsters in City M being scum, and none of you realized that the weak monster just now was actually pretending to be me? I think he was so helpless at that time.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Fat Cat's words and thought, yes, this is exactly what I wanted to say at that time, but I have to replace the word "weak chicken" with "Fat Cat".
But why... once it was drawn, why did it seem... that it didn't mean that anymore
Yuan Yuanyuan was very conflicted. She wondered if this guy had been brainwashed by Ji Qiu... She clearly wanted to complain at that time, so why did she give her such a weird illusion
… Never mind, never mind, Ji Qiu is truly an evil person.
Yuan Yuanyuan saw that Fat Cat had sent another message, but I didn’t have to worry... My thing was not lost, it was taken away by Yuan.
Was it taken away by Yuan? Where is it? Yuan Yuanyuan asked him curiously.
It's in the comics. Fat Cat replied, look, he has a small box in his hand... That's what I stole.
Yuan Yuanyuan quickly flipped through the pages and finally found the small black box in the dark picture.
That's not right. When have I ever held this thing? Yuan Yuanyuan was a little confused.
After she returned home, she sent Fat Cat away, secretly took out the clothes she had worn that night, and searched every pocket, but she couldn't find the small black box.
I don't remember taking it... I haven't seen this thing either. If I haven't seen it, how can I take it
But Ji Qiu drew "Yuan" and took it... The Yuan at that time was definitely her, which means that this thing should be in her hands now.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't remember when she took the box... until she returned to her clothing store.
It was already three days later. Yuan Yuanyuan opened the door and as soon as she pushed it open, she smelled an indescribable odor, as if it was the smell of rotten blood.
She looked at the small black box on the table. In broad daylight, she inexplicably felt her legs shaking like a sieve.
There was also a small piece of paper next to it with a cute smiley face drawn on it in red pen.
Yuan Yuanyuan opened the box and finally saw what Fat Cat got from City M.
—It was a piece of snow-white bone.
The tiny bones are white and appear to be fluorescent. Under the light, they look like a piece of jade.
