Yuan Yuanyuan yawned and started to pack up to leave. Liu An asked from behind, "Boss, when did you become a civil servant?"
"Some time ago." Yuan Yuanyuan quietly packed her things. "All big monsters must be recruited. How can those who are not recruited be qualified to be called big monsters?"
In fact, she wanted to say that how could she feel at ease if the senior management was not recruited, but then she thought about the civil servants there, so she stopped talking nonsense.
She finally put on a large brown robe with two particularly large pockets and a small mask that covered the upper half of her face, leaving only her mouth exposed.
"Keep an eye on these little monsters. I'm going to work." Yuan Yuanyuan said. She held her backpack and said, "Don't go out to work today. It's dangerous."
Liu An looked outside. Dark clouds were gathering in the sky and the temperature was gradually dropping. He shuddered for no apparent reason. "What's going on outside?"
Yuan Yuanyuan explained it using the words she understood, "Uh, riot?"
According to her feeling, the monsters should not have arrived here yet and should be in the east now. However, even if they are slightly closer to here now, it is raining so heavily nearby.
This should also be a Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, but seriously speaking, this feeling is definitely not an ordinary Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. The Night Parades of a Hundred Demons that Yuan Yuanyuan has seen are all very disciplined. Even the largest-scale Night Parade of a Hundred Demons that she experienced in the northwest was full of a sense of ritual.
So the temperature in the northwest dropped directly below zero, but the chaotic Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in front of him was just a little cold, and the temperature was still above zero. According to Yuan Yuanyuan's own feeling, the demonic energy in the time and space of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons that day was very solidified, and it was not as scattered as it is now. The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in front of him was full of a violent and chaotic feeling from beginning to end. It was like a teenager who had eaten too much croton, full of the violent feeling of wanting to find a toilet.
Although the current formation looks quite scary, even scarier than the one in the northwest, but in Yuan Yuanyuan's eyes, the dark evil aura all around is scattered, and is not at all as scary as the evil aura that was about to solidify in the northwest.
She turned her head, with the upper half of her face covered by a mask, revealing only the lower half. After Liu An saw Yuan Yuanyuan's face, he was suddenly stunned, "Boss, you..."
"Ah? What's wrong?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked curiously.
"Boss, you should cover the lower half of your face." Liu An said, "You look more like a person when you cover your eyes."
"Who does he look like?" Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned at first, but she immediately understood what Liu An meant. Her boss's face was obtained by changing Yuan's eyes, so the lower half of his face was actually not much different.
"That can't be helped. This is a uniform." Yuan Yuanyuan pointed at the monster standing outside and said, "See? We are all wearing the same uniform. We can't change."
Liu An didn't say anything, and Yuan Yuanyuan got up and walked out. When he reached the door, Liu An saw the boss took a small stone from the hand of another monster standing at the door. The monster was also wearing a brown robe and a mask on his face. He held it in his hand, took a look at it, and followed the monster out the door.
He turned his head to look at the drowsy children, slowly picked them up and covered them with a quilt. He also brought a bed quilt down from upstairs and fell asleep in the hall.
…
"Where are we going?" Gao Ling felt that his heart was trembling when he asked this question.
"Uh, let me see." The voice on the other end of the phone said, "The shelter near your home is the Experimental Middle School."
"Should I, should I call my dad and mom over?" Gao Ling said tremblingly.
"No need. If your parents don't have spiritual power, then tell them not to move. Otherwise, it might attract the attention of the monsters."
Gao Ling nodded and felt that this statement made some sense. Although she herself had spiritual power, this spiritual power came from nowhere and was different from what was inherited from ordinary families. Ordinary people had little sense of existence to them, and the chances of being targeted were not great, so it would be better to let them stay at home.
Gao Ling packed a few clothes, took her cell phone and charger to school. Her mother asked from behind, "Why are you going out in such heavy rain?"
"Ah, something happened at work." Gao Ling made up a story, "I may not be back tonight. I'll call you tomorrow."
"Hey? Do you need your dad to take you there?" her mother shouted from behind. Gao Ling said no while opening an umbrella, putting on a talisman, and quickly running downstairs. She hailed a taxi, said, "Experimental Middle School," and then quickly rushed to the destination.
When she arrived at the Experimental Middle School, she saw a lot of taxis and private cars parked at the gate. They were probably all people rushing here like her. Gao Ling got out of the car and paid the fare. The driver looked at the gate and asked, "Is this a senior student coming to pick up the child? Did you finish class early today?"
Gao Ling smiled without saying anything, then turned and walked to the door. The light in the guard room was bright, and she saw a lot of people inside, queuing up to go in.
The rain was getting heavier at this time, but strangely, when it got here, the rain became much lighter and turned into a drizzle.
After her physical examination, she entered the school gate. The school was dismissed early today, and those who were still in the school were all people with spiritual powers nearby. The nearest shelter to her home was here on the map. If her group leader hadn't said so, no high-level spirit would have discovered it.
There was a light drizzle on the playground at this time. Gao Ling felt that this rain was quite comfortable, much more comfortable than the sudden rain outside, and it made her feel inexplicably better.
At this time, she happened to see a family of four, a couple, a little girl, and an old lady nearby. The hostess and host looked quite kind, so she turned around and said, "Hello, may I ask... are you all people with spiritual powers?"
"Yes." The hostess smiled, holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, "Don't be afraid, don't panic, nothing will happen, just stay here peacefully."
“Ah…” Gao Ling blushed inexplicably. Was she afraid and did she show it so obviously
"Little girl, are you alone? Someone will come to organize everyone to go in soon. Let's sleep here and everything should be fine tomorrow." The kind old lady said, "It may be inconvenient to do anything today. The monsters from the security team will come here soon. Just remember to follow us and don't be afraid."
Gao Ling felt a little relieved, so he sat on the wet grass and waited to see what arrangements would be made.
She hadn't been sitting there for long when she suddenly saw a few monsters wearing brown clothes and masks walking over and starting talking to the people on the playground.
"I'll just sit here?" Yuan Yuanyuan said.
"Yes." The monster said, "You can just sit here. If someone comes later, just let them stay here."
Yuan Yuanyuan watched the monster walk away, and then sat here alone, looking at the house silently.
The empty auditorium.
The light is bright and a bit blinding.
If you put a teddy bear here, you can play a VR horror game.
Yuan Yuanyuan shuddered and silently thought that someone should come here soon, otherwise she might scare herself to death.
Just as he was thinking this, there was a knock on the door. Yuan Yuanyuan's ears suddenly pricked up, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the first person who came in through the door.
"Hello, we are humans seeking refuge here. May I ask where is..." Several little girls' voices were heard outside the door. Yuan Yuanyuan looked around and saw several girls walking in from outside the door.
Yuan Yuanyuan sat behind the podium... just like a lecturer who was about to give a lecture, even though she knew nothing. Several girls looked over here, and Yuan Yuanyuan met their eyes.
… After a long, long time, when Yuan Yuanyuan was thinking, “Oh, why haven’t they come in yet?”, one of the girls suddenly said together, “Sorry, we went the wrong way.” Then several girls turned around and hurried out at the same time.
Huh
Yuan Yuanyuan's hands were almost shaking behind her. "No! Don't leave me alone! I'm scared!"
She sat alone in the empty auditorium, not knowing what to say.
The mission Yuan Yuanyuan accepted this time was actually a protection mission. The moment she received it, she roughly understood what was going on. It was probably the incident of the "Seven Monsters" that happened some time ago, which caused many different voices among the monsters. Some monsters felt that their attitude towards humans had always been too weak. Monsters should not have this attitude towards humans. The hunters have become prey, which has squeezed out a lot of negative emotions among the monsters. Coupled with the slight provocation of someone with ulterior motives, it naturally broke out all of a sudden.
This sentiment gradually spread to the entire monster world. Even though the matter was resolved later, there was still no way to quell the riot. It was more like someone took advantage of this time and was ready to give it a try, so they organized one Hundred Demons Night Parade after another to express their attitude by killing humans and monsters.
During this period, attacks on humans were very frequent, including the excessive number of deaths in the security team before, which was also caused by them. The main targets of their attacks are humans with spiritual power, and the monsters in the security team are second. They think the existence of the security team is an eyesore, because the security team not only protects monsters, but also humans, so they are very angry.
Taking into account the situations of the previous attacks on humans, the top leaders decided to gather together the humans with spiritual powers this time... As for this behavior, the monsters are definitely not willing to do so, but if they don't do this, the Taoists may protest, and the death toll of the security team may be higher. Moreover, if the death toll is too high, the punishment from God will be borne by everyone, and more than one person will suffer.
Yuan Yuanyuan continued to sit there, watching another person come in from the door. This time she didn't look at the other person with her sharp eyes, because she thought that the few people who had just run away were probably frightened by her enthusiasm, so they behaved a little coldly.
"Excuse me, are you the monster on duty here?" The one who came this time was a middle-aged man, and it seemed that he was preparing to take a rest here.
There are two auditoriums in the school. The auditorium on the other side has another big monster, and this side is Yuan Yuanyuan. The two auditoriums are on the fourth and fifth floors respectively.
Yuan Yuanyuan nodded coldly, with a hint of indifference on her face. If someone saw her at this moment, they would definitely think that she had a bad temper and was a very difficult person to get along with.
The middle-aged man didn't care much. He might have just come from get off work and was obviously sleepy at this time. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yuan Yuanyuan. Yuan Yuanyuan took it, stamped it, and returned it. The man walked to the back of the auditorium. Everyone was given a blanket and a pillow.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the stamp that had been stamped once, and suddenly she began to get excited.
Oh, it works! Acting indifferent works!
After being hit once, Yuan Yuanyuan instantly became full of confidence. She sat there obediently, waiting for the next person to come.
However, time passed slowly. For some reason, there were so few people on her side, but so many people upstairs. Yuan Yuanyuan could hear the sound of many people running back and forth. She counted them casually and there were only about ten people. Many people just poked their heads in to take a look, then immediately turned around and left, leaving Yuan Yuanyuan no chance to even speak.
No, no... Yuan Yuanyuan thought for a while and suddenly realized something.
Oh shit, yeah, my face... they couldn't have made a mistake!
Yuan Yuanyuan was a little flustered at the moment, but she was afraid that the dozen people in the room would be scared away by her, so she just sat there without moving.
"Why are you all going upstairs?" A voice of a monster that Yuan Yuanyuan knew could be heard faintly in the corridor outside, "Can some of you come downstairs? There's not enough room upstairs. It's so crowded. If something happens, it won't be easy for the monsters guarding it to move..."
The footsteps of many people were heard one after another from behind, and many of them were panting. Yuan Yuanyuan thought that these people were probably those who had just come up from downstairs, and they would probably be led to her side, so she sat there quietly, with little stars in her heart, and waited obediently.
"You guys stay here first." The leader pushed open the door and said, "After you come in, dry your clothes first. Don't be afraid if you see a thunder outside. Just hide here quietly and don't make any noise. The big monsters we invited to stay here are all very powerful. There will be no danger."
Gao Ling had just been brought up from the playground. She wiped her face. There were nearly a hundred people brought up together with her. She was the last person still outside. The monster was about to arrive, the school gate had been closed, and the thunder outside was becoming more and more frightening.
She looked at the auditorium in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she could finally have a good rest. But suddenly she felt something was wrong, because the people in the front suddenly stopped moving forward and stopped there, not moving a single step.
Gao Ling didn't know what was happening in front of him. When he was looking forward, someone in front of him suddenly whispered something with an indescribable surprise in his tone, "Yuan?"
"who?"
"Yuan! It's Yuan!"
"How could it be him?"
The team of a hundred people was chattering, and everyone's voice was very low. But at this time, perhaps because there were so many people, everyone couldn't help whispering to each other. Gao Ling didn't quite understand at first, but later he gradually grasped the key words from the words of the people next to him, "Yuan"
"What's wrong? Why don't you go in?" The monster in the front asked the first person. The first person opened his mouth a few times and finally said: "Can I go to the auditorium upstairs?"
"Why?" The leading monster frowned, "There are already a lot of people upstairs, there is not much room left."
“But…” The first person said two words, then suddenly stood still and immediately went to discuss with his family members next to him.
Gao Ling quietly slipped over during the chaos and took a look through the crack in the door. He saw a person sitting in the front row, looking at this side quietly. Nothing could be seen from his exposed lips and chin. However, even if he was wrapped like this, people who often read Monster Records could recognize it as Yuan at the first sight.
"Sir, please come out for a moment." The leading monster shouted into the house. Gao Ling clearly felt that the team outside suddenly stiffened, but her own eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Don't think this gentleman is scary. He is actually a very nice person. He just doesn't like to show it." The leading monster turned around and said, "He won't do anything to you. Don't panic."
His words seemed to have no effect, but instead angered some people.
"Hehe, he's a good person, then why are you so afraid of him?" An unknown voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"Yes! That's right!" Someone nearby immediately responded.
"Why do you want us to live here? One of our relatives is a Taoist priest. If you want me to live here, I will contact him right now."
The leading monster was obviously choked and didn't know what to say.
Although he kept explaining that the big monster in the house was actually a good person, the people around him didn't believe it at all, and they seemed to be getting more and more agitated, which made the leading monster very helpless, because he was just an ordinary little monster who had just joined the job.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open gently, and people looked over.
A monster wearing brown clothes and a mask on his face walked out. He was very tall and thin, and only his lips and pointed chin could be seen. The exposed chin was pale, and he looked inexplicably like a vampire.
"Sir." The leading monster asked anxiously, "Sir, this..."
"Let those who don't want to stay go." The person who came out only said one sentence.
His voice was cold and his eyes swept around like knives.
"This group of people is so noisy."
The crowd gradually quieted down.
In the eyes of the public, Yuan is a very cold-blooded monster.
He killed countless people, killed his own subordinates, betrayed the monsters, and all the people he killed turned into a sea of blood.
He is also very cunning and likes to deceive people.
... a very unlikable monster.
He had been a general on the battlefield a long, long time ago, and at that time, he was already a not very likable image.
So many people were furious when they heard it was him, and many of them simply didn't want to stay with such a monster.
Some people took a quick glance but quickly lowered their heads.
The monster in front of him had a very pale face, but his exposed lips were very red, and the evil aura on his body made people feel very uncomfortable.
Gao Ling stood in the crowd. Everyone else was in a very depressed mood, but she felt inexplicably happy.
She didn't even know Yuan was here...
In fact, for her, the most reliable monster is Yuan, because he saved her life twice.
And she always felt that... contrary to the image in the public's eyes, this monster should actually be a very good person.
"Anyone who wants to come in, come in, and those who don't, please leave." After he said that, he turned around and went back into the house. The people at the door looked at each other for a while, and a few of them went in. The rest suddenly rushed upstairs as if they were escaping for their lives.
"Well, don't mind it too much. This is how adults are. Although they are tough on the outside, they are soft on the inside." The leading monster said somewhat embarrassedly.
As he was talking, he suddenly thought of something, lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "Actually, the master is just a little hard-mouthed. Although this is just my own feeling... but every time something happens, the master will be the first to come, no matter what happened before, so I think the master is really the most responsible big monster here, you don't have to worry about offending him just now."
When he was talking, Gao Ling looked up at him. In fact, she was quite happy at this moment. With fewer people left, there would naturally be less danger. Besides, Yuan... It was stable, she couldn't wait for the others to leave as well.
Gao Ling followed the remaining few people in. The room was very quiet because there were hardly any people there.
She walked into the room, followed the dozen people behind her, found a place to sit down, and looked at the very cold person in front of her.
"Sit down and don't go out casually." He said, "Otherwise I won't be responsible if anything happens."
The family of four next door also stayed with Gao Ling. They looked at each other, sat down quietly, and prepared to spread out their quilts and go to sleep.
At this time, the people who had arrived downstairs all breathed a sigh of relief. They listened to complaints from the people next to them, such as "Why are there more people coming?" and "There's almost no room left", but they did not feel sad at all. Instead, they were very happy.
"Finally we're here." Someone sighed quietly, "Luckily I don't live down there, I would be scared to death."
"Yes." Another person also whispered, "There is actually Yuan there. Who would dare to live there with such a cold-blooded person?"
"But isn't he a relative?" a little child nearby asked in a low voice.
"A monster that loves people." A person next to him suddenly sneered, "You think a monster that loves people will be a good monster, then go ahead. Even if a monster loves people, can he still become a human?"
