"Where is your home?"

"… Um, do you need to call the police?"

Yuan Yuanyuan held the girl and felt like a mentally retarded person. She ran out of the pedestrian street covered in blood, with a bunch of people following her.

Standing on the street, she couldn't even think clearly about what she had just done. Looking at the girl next to her, her eyes were covered.

…Where are the police

Yuan Yuanyuan thought about how tough she had been just now, and felt that the pub where she worked had been smashed so badly that she might not even recognize it. She looked at her location, took out her phone, opened Sogou Maps, and searched for the local public security bureau...

The girl next to her silently watched Yuan Yuanyuan searching for the location of the Public Security Bureau on her mobile phone. Then she saw a look of sudden enlightenment suddenly appear on Yuan Yuanyuan's face, and he jumped onto another roof while holding the girl.

I wonder if the girl noticed the broken phone Yuan Yuanyuan bought four years ago, and the various scratches on the phone screen...

I guess once this matter is linked to the government agencies among humans, those monsters will stop pursuing us.

Yuan Yuanyuan returned home with a bunch of medicine in her hands, including hydrogen peroxide, gentian violet and the like.

Then she went into the bathroom, closed the door tightly, lifted her clothes, and took the gauze left over from last year to wipe the blood off her body.

Some places had already dried up, and she had to peel off the dried blood scabs and the clothes that were stuck to them little by little before applying it on her body.

Just now, the blood on her body gave off a very strange smell, which she had never smelled before. But when she returned home and lifted the illusion, the smell turned back to her own.

After she finished applying, she looked at the time and it was already past her usual dinner time.

She went out when it was just getting dark. Usually she went to work as soon as it got dark and got off work at two or three in the middle of the night. Today, she fought with those people fiercely and went home earlier than usual, finishing at nine o'clock.

Yuan Yuanyuan still felt a little weak when she stood up. She climbed up with difficulty, threw the gauze, cotton swabs and other things into the trash can, then walked to the kitchen and took out a bag of instant noodles, two eggs, and a bunch of green onions.

While cooking instant noodles, she looked across from her house. From the outside, everything there looked very normal, as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Yuanyuan threw the seasoning into the pot, then started chopping onions and poured the remaining ribs and soup into the pot.

I don't know if I can go to work tomorrow...

As she thought of this, she suddenly took out a small pendant from her neck.

Judging from the patterns on this pendant, it should be made of jade. When you hold it up to the light, it appears to be smooth and white.

The peace pendant was given to her by Ji Qiu. It is a very traditional way for monsters to pass messages. However, Yuan Yuanyuan has only seen people passing messages with stones over the years. This is the first time she has seen such a rich man using jade.

However, Yuan Yuanyuan remembered that when Ji Qiu gave it to her, the jade was clearly red.

Yuan Yuanyuan stuffed the jade back into her pocket, served the noodles, poured a cup of tea and ate it silently by herself. Then she wiped her mouth, went into the bedroom, and took out the jade again.

She didn't forget what Qiu said to her a few years ago.

What would you do if you had another identity

… I do a lot of stupid things, really.

Before carefully checking the information inside the jade, Yuan Yuanyuan thought it was something magical, like "Ji Qiu might reveal a little about his future plans in it", "How can she stay alive safely", "Are you a main god or something like that, is your original form an egg", etc. However, when she really read the first line of words, she was stunned.

… wow, wow, and ju are actually traditional Chinese characters.

"Yuanyuan, something happened in the pub yesterday. Don't come for now. Let's talk about it in a few days." Yuan Yuanyuan got up early in the morning and heard the news from Sister Xue.

She didn't find it strange at all and just lay back down, hugging her pillow.

I wonder if the pub will pay her on time this month.

Maybe they will deduct employees’ wages and use the money to repair the house

Yuan Yuanyuan turned over again. Although she didn't know what the boss would arrange, it was not appropriate for her to ask this as she had only been working for a few days.

Maybe... The next comic will show whether her boss will deduct her salary.

Some strange things suddenly popped up in Yuan Yuanyuan's mind... Ji Qiu carefully drew her boss's face on the cartoon, and then added words next to it, "Oh, the house is destroyed, should I deduct the employees' wages..."

Well, Ji Qiu shouldn’t be that idle.

The sun was already high in the sky, but Yuan Yuanyuan still hadn't gotten up. She had stayed up until four in the morning last night and translated the first few paragraphs of the text. Excuse me for being frank, but those lines of text were not only in traditional Chinese, but also in classical Chinese.

She held the traditional-simplified Chinese converter in her hand and compared the translation with the text. After working through half the night, she was only able to translate a little bit and was feeling overwhelmed.

But she also realized that those words didn't seem to be what Ji Qiu said, but a... what kind of witchcraft

"The Yin soul embraces the One, can it make a sound? It walks on behalf of the sky, and returns to being an infant..."

Yuan Yuanyuan thought back to those few lines in the text and felt that she had… wasted all those years studying.

But she could still understand the meaning of the introduction at the beginning. It was about a very powerful monster who wrote a book introducing some unique magic he had created over the years. The words between the lines were quite impressive, such as "He has been commanding monsters for decades and acting on their behalf."

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that this book was like a summary of the life experience of the unknown monster. Almost all of his experiences were written in it, but Yuan Yuanyuan really couldn't understand so many traditional Chinese characters.

There are some very sensitive words in this piece of jade, which attracted Yuan Yuanyuan's attention. For example, the word "blood" has the same traditional and simplified Chinese characters. I have to say here that although this piece of jade seems to be very powerful, there are actually very few things recorded on the jade. If it were put on paper, there would only be a few thin pages.

However, on these few pages, Yuan Yuanyuan roughly counted and found that the word "blood" appeared forty or fifty times...

These traditional Chinese characters include not only common ones, but also some very rare ones, such as "k" and " ", which purely challenge people's knowledge and cognition. In addition, due to the classical Chinese, it is very difficult to translate them.

… Yuan Yuanyuan turned over. She knew that it was a book that looked very impressive. It was very likely a cheat given to her by Ji Qiu. After all, as a "supporting male role", she herself was too weak. In fact, some of the things Ji Qiu said last night were meaningful.

This identity is mysterious, powerful, and charming. It is much stronger than your current abilities and can do many things that you cannot do now. What do you plan to use it for

Very mysterious, very powerful, very charming, these are actually not what Yuan Yuanyuan can achieve now.

She is now a typical weakling who knows very little about the world of monsters and even makes jokes of herself. She simply doesn't ask about things she doesn't understand, and has been beaten less often in recent years.

Ji Qiu gave her this thing definitely because he wanted her to learn from it.

The problem is... Yuan Yuanyuan now vaguely feels that the thing is a bit evil.

She didn't like that thing from the bottom of her heart.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she was actually a bit mean. To be honest, she had thought in her middle school days that if someone put a "martial arts secret book" in front of her, she would definitely learn it.

But when she really faced this situation, she found that it was not the case. Just like other young men who opened the secret book, the first thing they saw was the words full of righteousness such as "extremely strong and masculine, extremely kind and pure", the first page she opened the book was "If you want to practice this skill, you must first xx...

Any normal person would have to think about this for two seconds.

Ahem, although this may not be some strange martial arts secret book, the frequency of the word "blood" alone is so high. In addition to this word, there are some more sensitive words, such as "remnant" and "corpse"...

… What kind of weird effect would this thing produce

Yuan Yuanyuan has not yet translated the entire book, but she unexpectedly does not want to translate any further.

Sleep a little longer and we’ll talk about it later.

With such a desperate mentality, Yuan Yuanyuan quickly fell asleep again...

But for some reason, after waking up in the afternoon, she picked up the dictionary and started translating again.

Or maybe she just doesn't have any strength... If she had a powerful aunt, uncle, or other great uncle who could teach her some powerful skills, why would she have to translate this stuff secretly by herself

Although this thing seems unreliable... but it is the only thing related to witchcraft that she can get access to now. At worst, she can just translate it and not learn it. It is also good to just look at the life experience of this big monster over the years.

"What does this line of words mean... It's talking about..." Yuan Yuanyuan frowned as she translated. Suddenly, she heard someone knocking on the door. She stuffed the jade back into her neck, walked over, looked through the peephole, and opened the door.

Xiaoying stood at the door, looked at Yuan Yuanyuan, and asked mysteriously, "Sister Yuanyuan, did you buy this issue of "Mengman"? "

"Ah? Which issue?" Yuan Yuanyuan glanced at her small bookshelf. Ever since she appeared in the comics, she has developed the habit of buying two issues every month.

"There is a small card in the last issue of Mengman. Can you give it to me?" Xiaoying asked anxiously outside.

"Okay." Yuan Yuanyuan walked over, picked up the book, and took out the postcard-style card inside.

This thing is available in most magazines nowadays and is often used for reader follow-up visits.

"What do you want this for?" Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly asked before taking it. Xiaoying took it and thanked him, then said, "This issue of Mengman organized an official popularity ranking of comic characters. Don't you know?"

“…Ah?” Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly uttered a single sound. She stood at the door, looked at Xiaoying and shouted again, “Ah?”
