On the nights when Monster Records was updated, Yuan Yuanyuan would always prepare something for herself. In the past, when she had no money, she would just make a cup of tea.
Now that she had a little more money, she bought four bags of potato chips of different flavors and a bottle of milk from the store downstairs and went upstairs.
Yuan Yuanyuan has classified cola as a restricted item these days. Since I've already done sit-ups, it's okay to drink less cola. I sit on my little bed, draw the curtains, turn on a small orange light, sit on the bed, eat potato chips and watch TV series alone.
She was killing time by watching an American TV series. When her favorite supporting character in the series died, she cursed "fxxk" silently in her heart, then turned off the TV series. When she turned around, she saw that it was already half past twelve, so she turned up the lights and turned on the update of Yao Ji.
Many people have already finished reading Monster Records. Yuan Yuanyuan casually glanced at the comments below, not paying too much attention to them. She then took a look at the refreshed Monster Records, which showed that Fanning was struggling with the strange Taoist formula and trying hard to resist the influence of the formula on him.
In fact, there are many negative effects after practicing the Taoist formula, one of which is that the personality will inexplicably become brutal. As a young man who still had certain persistence even when his sect was destroyed, Faning recently found that he easily gets angry, and his anger comes for no reason.
Yuan Yuanyuan initially thought that this comic book was finally going to be a dark and bizarre style, but she realized later that she had thought too much. Fanning was even more timid than she was, so he monitored his movements more strictly than Yuan Yuanyuan herself, and could detect the slightest error.
The most outrageous thing for Faning was that he was eating beef noodles that day. After the noodles were placed on the table, he picked up the vinegar next to the chopsticks and found that the bottle was empty... Then he exploded.
… The way he fried it was also very strange, that is, suddenly everything on the table seemed to come alive.
Then the box of chopsticks in front of me grew little arms and legs, and all of them had a (._.) expression on their faces and slowly started to crawl out of the box. It felt like chopstick zombies...
Fortunately, there were not many people in the store. Faning, sweating profusely, knocked the chopsticks out one by one and put them back into the box.
Normally, Taoist priests would let ghosts possess them, or gather souls. Faning had no idea what he had attracted around him. Faning, who had never been a thief in his life, had to steal something from someone else's store for the first time in his life and take it back... It was a box of chopsticks.
This chopstick spirit with thin arms and legs... I really want it. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the "chopstick zombie" in the comics and suddenly wanted to try using her own chopsticks. However, the demonic energy is probably not as interesting as the spiritual energy. Maybe it will summon a bunch of QQ chopsticks...
Yuan Yuanyuan ate another potato chip and continued reading. She wanted to see if there would be a solution in the next few autumns. If there was no solution, she would most likely burn some paper for Fanning and herself, because if Fanning really became cruel and evil, she would probably have to face a violent mental patient in the future.
Then she found out that she was wrong. She was not facing a violent patient, but a... patient with masochism.
Faning thought that he must be really sick since he could go crazy over something like whether a bowl of beef noodles had vinegar or not, so he went to various hospitals these days to see if he could find out what was wrong with him. He first went to an ordinary hospital, and then went to see a few doctors he knew before, but none of them could help him.
Fanning was a little annoyed after his fruitless search, but he had no choice. He had to "go to work" during the day because he had spent too much money on medical treatment in the past few days. If he didn't work properly, he might not have enough money to pay for the medical expenses. So Fanning took a random ghost catching job nearby and worked while seeing patients.
However, a turning point happened at this time - one day Fanning was accidentally seriously injured by a fierce ghost on his way to work. His blood was spilled all over the floor, scaring the owner of the house next door. They thought that the master they had invited with great difficulty was going to die.
However, Fanning, whose blood was spilled on the spot, was suddenly stunned.
The irritable feeling that had been bothering him for so many days suddenly disappeared... He was suddenly stunned and felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.
…
The door to a new world was also opened to Yuan Yuanyuan in front of the mobile phone.
… This is forced masochism! This is employee abuse, bro!
What is the comic trying to express at this point
Yuan Yuanyuan was furious when she read a comic for the first time. "Brother, what new world did you open? Close it for me quickly! Don't give up!"
Fanning did not seek treatment, he gave up and began to gradually experiment with what was suppressing his inner mania, and even conducted various comparative experiments.
He first began to suspect that the reason he calmed down was because he was seriously injured, but after trying several times, he found that this statement was somewhat inaccurate. A more accurate statement was that he calmed down so quickly because he bled more when he was injured.
He tried many times... Suddenly he felt that this Dao formula was indescribable. The essence of this Dao formula was to make you constantly manic and hysterical, wanting to kill people, and then slowly lose blood due to injuries during the fight. After losing blood to a certain extent, you would suddenly calm down...
So what is the purpose of this Dao Jue? Fanning was puzzled. He vaguely thought of the creatures like orcs. After being controlled, their personalities became furious, and they turned from gentle orcs close to nature into killing machines. When swords and knives hit them, they would not feel pain, but would become more and more excited.
So Fanning had a nightmare that night... He dreamed that he had turned into a machine that only knew how to kill, with his eyes glowing red.
Then he was awakened by the shock.
Fanning woke up with a fright and got up in the middle of the night. He sat on the bed and was dazed for a while. After tossing and turning for a long time, he finally fell asleep.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know what to say when looking at Fanning in the comics... It seems that she is not too miserable, because there is someone at the bottom to support her.
She shook her head, but this evil Taoist secret should be very powerful. Maybe it was written by some great god, so Fanning can grow step by step.
With a hint of inexplicable expectation and sympathy for the protagonist, as well as a desire to kill him so that he would never come looking for her again, Yuan Yuanyuan continued reading. She saw that after Faning discovered the solution to the Taoist secret, he calmed down and began to learn the secret wholeheartedly. Yuan Yuanyuan felt ashamed of himself for his calmness.
So other people's training is to soak in ice springs and enter forbidden areas, but the weird protagonist of the comic book "Yoki" is just sitting on the bed reciting a book, and while reciting it, he stabs himself...
Yuan Yuanyuan was grinning the whole time. She could imagine what other readers were thinking when reading this paragraph. No wonder she just casually scanned and saw several comments like "It's so miserable. I like this kind of protagonist so much...?"
I had only read it through once before, so there were many things Fanning hadn't seen, and now was a good time to read it again.
Due to time constraints, Fanning had only read the first few pages. However, he flipped through the later parts and found that the more he read, the harder it became. He kept flipping to the end, and suddenly he saw a tiny signature on the last page of the book. It was nailed in the gap between the pages and could not be seen unless you looked carefully.
The color of the signature had faded and turned into a light pink, but Fanning's curiosity was aroused. He untied the thread that stapled the book and then saw the full appearance of the chapter at the back.
Editor x Seven…
Editor... probably refers to the person who edits the book, but who is this person
…
… Yuan Yuanyuan, who was sitting in front of the screen, suddenly uttered a cry.
She vaguely felt the blood rushing up and slowly flowing to her cheeks, making her face become hot in an instant.
She remembered that a third-rate health program said that this was bad for the skin on her face, so she went to the refrigerator, picked up an unopened can of Coke, poured the ice on her face, and then came back to continue reading. At this time, Fanning in the comic was still exploring.
There is a big hole at the place where the x is. This kind of ancient book is usually pierced with an awl and then strung together with a rope. Originally, the signature should be clearly visible, but because the person who stapled the book was not careful, it ended up like this.
Fanning felt it was a pity that the editor of this book had disappeared, so he wanted to know who wrote it, but finding the editor was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Especially many years ago, several Taoist sects summarized all the Taoist secrets so far and used them as textbooks. At that time, some unknown editors wrote their life's work into them. At that time, they used editor xx to replace the name. Many people didn't even have a name. Seeing that the word revealed was seven, it was very likely just a code name... Fanning thought about it and decided to forget it and just treat him as an unknown senior.
This mentality continued until he saw another book...
And what a coincidence, the author of that book is not a human, but a monster.
… Yuan Yuanyuan sniffed.
One day, Fanning accidentally got a book of tricks of the monsters. This trick book was very old, so old that the stone was full of cracks. He accidentally turned to the back and suddenly froze when he saw the last page.
On the back, there was a small handwritten word - one seven.
"Hey, where did you get this thing?" Fanning asked the Taoist who sold him the stone.
"From an old monster." The Taoist said, "When he was young, he was a famous trickster. Even when we tried to catch him, it took a lot of effort and more than ten people died."
Fanning looked at the stone in his hand. He bought it because he felt that the handwriting on it was inexplicably familiar... He took the stone back and planned to compare it carefully.
At this moment, the authors of these two books have completely aroused his curiosity, because these two books are very strange, one is a Taoist secret, and the other is a demon secret... What's going on? Fanning couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at her phone with her eyes a little straight and didn't even eat her potato chips.
She never dreamed that the first time she saw Yiqi's name appear in a comic, it would suddenly appear in this way in the Taoist scriptures read by the Taoists.
The two words lay there quietly, as if revealing a heavy past. Yuan Yuanyuan, who knew this name, felt that the two words were as heavy as a thousand pounds. However, thinking again, perhaps for most monsters who didn't know Yiqi in the first place... they might not have any fluctuations in their hearts.
Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly resumed eating potato chips and her face became calm, as if nothing had happened.
