It was pitch black outside, and inside the room there was a small candle that flickered.
Yuan Yuanyuan was holding a small cotton ball and disinfectant in her hand, disinfecting Liu An. Liu An looked tearful. Yuan Yuanyuan threw away the red cotton ball in her hand, and then picked up another one.
Liu An has been howling since he came in. Yuan Yuanyuan was very upset because of his howling. Finally, she slapped him after Liu An howled again, "Why are you howling? People who don't know would think I did something to you. There are several children here. Can you set a good example for them?"
The five children next to them had no expression on their faces.
A little girl silently picked up the hot water and took a sip.
"No, you stabbed me as soon as I came in..." Liu An bared his teeth, and Yuan Yuanyuan looked at him with disgust, "Do you think you are still a monster? Which monster would scream like you after being stabbed? Even the lowest-level gangster monsters are not as pretentious as you."
Yuan Yuanyuan did not lie, Liu An was indeed the most pretentious monster she had ever seen. Other monsters would not scream like Liu An even if they were stabbed several times. Yuan Yuanyuan did not do that when she first became a monster.
A monster?... There is something very monster in my blood. When I get really excited, the more blood I see, the more excited I get.
Liu An opened his mouth several times, seemingly wanting to refute, but finally found himself speechless and could only say: "Boss, I suddenly realized that I want to cry..."
"… "
"Why did I come here when I was so depressed?"
"Ah, I was the one who took you in, and you say that now?"
"No, no boss would stab someone as soon as he walks in the door." Liu An looked at the sky outside the window, which looked like it was going to rain.
After Yuan Yuanyuan finished wiping him, the candle next to him suddenly went out again, and the children next to him started shaking again. It has been like this since the beginning, the candle would light up for a while and then automatically go out, and it could only be repeated again and again. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't think there was anything wrong, but the children next to them were obviously very scared.
This will happen when the evil spirit condenses to a certain degree. Of course, candles that have been specially treated will not do this. However, the candles in Yuan Yuanyuan's home are just white candles bought from the store, so they will naturally go out at any time.
Yuan Yuanyuan asked several children to form a circle and lit a candle next to each of them. There were five children in total, and they lit five candles and formed a small circle. Then she bit her finger and drew a few spells on the ground next to her. These candles never went out again.
"Wow, big monster brother you are so awesome!" said several children.
Yuan Yuanyuan sat among the talismans all over the floor. It was the first time for her to make this thing, and she actually succeeded. This was actually a small talisman for gathering evil spirits, which she had seen in a Tang poetry textbook.
The room was dimly lit. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the children sitting together, feeling a little sleepy. Liu An asked tremblingly, "Boss, what's going on outside?"
"How should I know what's going on?" Yuan Yuanyuan said with her eyes closed, lying on the ground, looking very unmotivated.
"This happened here a lot in the past few days." A little monster next to him said in a low voice.
"Every day there are a lot of dark clouds above our heads, and there are a lot of monsters walking on the streets." said another little monster.
"Boss." Liu An pointed out the window, "Look."
Yuan Yuanyuan opened her eyes and looked outside. Everywhere she looked, red eyes appeared and disappeared, flashing in the air.
She stared at the eyes above her head, in a daze. The little kids next to her whispered, "Big monster brother, we are scared."
"What should I do if I'm scared..." Yuan Yuanyuan said sleepily: "Do you want to hear a story?"
"want!"
Yuan Yuanyuan kicked Liu An next to her and said, "Go tell a story."
Suddenly, there was a loud thunder outside, illuminating the room. Yuan Yuanyuan saw a flash of white in front of her eyes, which then turned pitch black in an instant.
The candle in front of her shook violently.
"Ah!" The other little monsters instantly started screaming involuntarily.
Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly remembered.
Ah... It seems that the parents of these children died in the riots in City C some time ago, so they may be more afraid of these things.
When Yuan Yuanyuan thought about this, she felt that the children in front of her were indescribably pitiful. However, it seemed that they were pitiful but also a little bit tough, and tough but also stable, so Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know how to treat them.
She looked at the boy who had always been the leader of the children, sitting there with his legs crossed and his lips tightly pursed. Yuan Yuanyuan watched for a while and suddenly asked, "Are you hungry?"
“… I’m hungry.”
“… Then I’ll go make dinner, you guys just stay in this circle, don’t move around, and don’t go out.”
As Yuan Yuanyuan spoke, she stood up and walked to the kitchen. After a while, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and suddenly found that it was Liu An behind her.
Liu An's face turned pale and he limped. Yuan Yuanyuan was puzzled, "I stabbed his stomach instead of his leg?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu An's legs straightened and instantly returned to normal. "Boss, what's going on outside? Where did those little brats come from? Where are their parents?"
"Ah... those kids." Yuan Yuanyuan said as she brushed potatoes, "They are the children of the members of the security team who died. I feel sorry for them, so I'll let them stay for a while."
"I didn't expect that, boss... you unexpectedly have a conscience."
"Yes, I still have a conscience. So please, Lord Liu An, go to the hall and accompany the children. I'm afraid they will tear down the house soon."
Yuan Yuanyuan washed the potatoes, peeled them, cut them into strips, and then washed them. Liu An stood quietly beside her. Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and saw that Liu An had not left yet, so she asked curiously, "Hey, why haven't you left yet?"
"Boss, I have always had a question." Liu An asked quietly, "Are you really a big monster?"
"Uh, yes, why do you ask?" Yuan Yuanyuan turned her head and said.
"Because I never felt that you, boss, are a big monster... I didn't have the concept that you, boss, are a big monster."
The room was very dark. Yuan Yuanyuan did not light a candle because she could still see in such a dark place. Her pupils had gradually dilated, just like a cat's.
In the darkness, Liu An seemed to hear the boss's hand suddenly pause, but it seemed as if nothing happened. It was too dark, so he couldn't really see anything. Even if he could turn his own smell into the smell of a monster, there were some things that monsters had that he didn't have.
Because Liu An couldn't see, he didn't realize that Yuan Yuanyuan's expression was a little strange. The kitchen was so dark that Liu An couldn't see what she looked like. After a while, Liu An heard Yuan Yuanyuan say: "Do you think that every big monster... can be seen?"
"I think... it seems to be like this." Liu An said hesitantly, "I went back to my hometown some time ago and saw many big monsters. Each of them was very powerful."
Yuan Yuanyuan turned her head and glanced at Liu An, as if she knew a little about what he wanted to say.
"Anyone who is called a great monster has a special aura... Boss, you are the only great monster I have ever seen who is so indifferent. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with being so indifferent, but I always feel that a great monster should not be like this, so I always think that you are a little weird, boss."
"What's strange about that?"
"I always feel that compared to other big monsters, you are a little..." Liu An was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly froze. He shook his head and suddenly stopped talking.
The kitchen was very quiet. After a long time, Liu An suddenly heard a very faint sigh. He didn't know if it was his illusion.
"Don't look at me like this." Yuan Yuanyuan fished out the shredded potatoes, threw them into the pot, and began to stir-fry them slowly. "Actually, I'm really good."
"Hey?" Liu An's voice became a little lingering, "Boss, could it be that you..."
"I'm really powerful, okay?" Yuan Yuanyuan said. Although she herself was not sure, she had killed many monsters during this period of time, and her experience was gradually increasing.
"If you are so powerful, why do you always stay here with a little monster like me?"
"Of course there is a reason for this." Yuan Yuanyuan said, "Big monsters also have their own ways of living. If you stay here, how do you know what my purpose is?"
"What is your purpose?"
Save your life
Yuan Yuanyuan silently threw the shredded meat in her hand back into the pot and stir-fried it.
"Actually, a big monster..." Yuan Yuanyuan said in a low voice, "There are all kinds of weird things. As for whether I am a big monster, do you want to try it out?"
"How do I try this thing?" Liu An was stunned.
"Don't you want to feel what it's like to be a big monster... Then I'll give you a direct experience."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu An suddenly had a very bad premonition.
However, Yuan Yuanyuan had already turned to look at Liu An, and suddenly her eyes turned red, and the demonic patterns on her face gradually emerged.
The demonic patterns flickered little by little, first appearing on the forehead, then slowly spreading to the corners of the eyes, and finally converging, and it seemed that they were about to become a...
In the dark kitchen, a beam of red light suddenly appeared.
…
Liu An watched his boss's eyes grow redder and redder. An indescribable pressure approached him, making him suddenly feel as if his heart was being squeezed.
He suddenly felt that the boss in front of him seemed to have become a different person. After he finished speaking, his aura suddenly became stronger, causing Liu An's breathing to stop.
Liu An didn't expect the boss to come so suddenly, but the boss in front of him was indeed someone he had never seen before. It felt to him like something was slowly waking up from the darkness...
He suddenly felt like he had won a big prize. He had just casually complained about his boss's situation. In his opinion, it was quite unbelievable that a monster like his boss lived in such a small place, especially in the eyes of someone like him who knew the status of a big monster.
Liu An didn't know why he said those words just now. He always felt that... he didn't want the boss to continue to be depressed. Although he didn't know why the boss was here, he subconsciously felt that the boss was very depressed...
As a result, his words seemed to have triggered some incredible switch, seemingly exploding out all the things that the boss had been hiding deeply. He quickly shouted, "Boss, boss, I was wrong! Boss, stop it!"
Oh my god! Who on earth is this ancient god
He just said a few words casually, how could it suddenly become like this! So he has been working for such a terrifying guy
Yuan Yuanyuan released her evil aura for a while, and suddenly she heard someone knocking on the door. She was stunned for a moment, and listened carefully, and sure enough, someone was knocking on the door.
Holy shit, knocking on the door in this weather... It must be haunted.
Yuan Yuanyuan immediately removed the evil spirit from her body. Liu An on the opposite side exhaled sharply, and seemed to want to speak. Yuan Yuanyuan put her finger to her lips and said, "Shh, listen."
Liu An also heard the knock on the door.
Who is coming at this time... The last one was Liu An, who will it be this time
She doesn’t even have a second clerk in this crappy shop!
Yuan Yuanyuan walked around Liu An and quietly went out of the door. Then she heard someone knocking on the door slowly, neither hurried nor slow.
“Bang, bang.”
Before Yuan Yuanyuan went out, she used the chessboard tactics and listened to the people outside.
Is one.
A strange monster.
