Who is this new guy? Why is this the first time I see him
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the guy in black with a confused look on his face. She looked at the catalog again and realized that she had turned the page too far, so she quickly flipped back.
She didn't catch up until she flipped to the top of the page. It turned out that this chapter was about the protagonist hunting down a very evil monster. This monster was very cunning. He hid among the crowd during the day and no one noticed him. He came out at night to kill ordinary humans.
In order to track down this monster, the artist has already drawn four or five issues... It's quite interesting. Yuan Yuanyuan has become a little interested. It seems that this monster has finally been found.
Yuan Yuanyuan turned the page and looked at the plot above. The male protagonist followed the monster to a place commonly known as the "Chaos City". It was filled with all kinds of monsters, all kinds of people, and it was a very chaotic city. Ordinary monsters rarely came here. Most of the monsters living here were extremely evil or had nowhere else to go.
The male protagonist, a demon hunter, seldom comes here. To be precise, this is not a suitable place for a demon hunter to stay. It is a residence for monsters living in the marginal world.
Yuan Yuanyuan took a bite of the dried fish and thought to herself, oh, this painter is very knowledgeable, there really is such a place in the monster world, and I am here now.
Um... seriously, where is this? Meteor City from Yokai? Or maybe Rukongai 80
Yuan Yuanyuan was almost overwhelmed by her own imagination. In fact, this is a very prosperous city. Although it is not very famous, the population is quite dense. For humans, it is still a good place to live.
It's just a bit confusing for a monster.
She continued to flip through the pages. The demon hunter aura of the male protagonist was like a night light in this city. He knew this, so he carefully avoided everyone's sight and waited until noon before coming out.
This male protagonist is really skilled and brave... He dares to run around alone in a city like this. Yuan Yuanyuan shook her head again. In her opinion, this plot is a bit nonsense. Apart from anything else, if there is really a demon hunter who dares to come to this place alone, he must be a very powerful person.
Hmm... How awesome is he? Anyway, Yuan Yuanyuan has never seen a Taoist priest of this level.
That's right, Yuan Yuanyuan doesn't need to be afraid of creatures like demon hunters, but she also needs to be careful of the "demon hunters" in the real world - Taoist priests. However, Taoist priests are not a threat to her, after all, she is a half-demon.
Taoist priests these days are more open-minded than monsters. After all, human life span is short and the generations are replaced very quickly. The thoughts of each generation will be very different. Yuan Yuanyuan met several Taoist priests, all of whom were very open-minded. Seeing that there was no blood on her, they let her go.
Ordinary Taoist priests are still unwilling to embarrass these little demons, but it may not be the case for Taoist priests from big families... However, Yuan Yuanyuan does not think that she can offend those people. She has her own ways of dealing with Taoist priests from big families.
She slowly pulled the screen down, watching the plot bit by bit. Not long after the male protagonist came to this city, he discovered the monster hiding here, so he made adequate preparations in advance.
On a rainy night, the hero went out. The rain could well cover the smell of the demon hunter on him. He followed the demon for a long time, but he lost it halfway, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head.
At the critical moment, he suddenly remembered a place where the monster often hid, so he immediately turned back to see if the monster felt threatened and hid himself there.
Just when the demon hunter arrived, he suddenly saw a black figure falling from the sky and landing directly on the head of the demon -
Seeing this, Yuan Yuanyuan spat out a mouthful of milk.
…
She looked at the picture with a look of “What the hell!”
The figure that fell down was wearing a black windbreaker, with short black hair scattered on his forehead, and there was no emotion in his black eyes.
The sky is filled with red, as if it is going to cover the entire screen, and every bit of red is a beautiful bright red.
The figure in black jumped into the air, then turned around and landed on the monster's head. Then, with a flash of silver light, the thing in his hand pierced straight into the monster's crown -
A pair of slender black phoenix eyes looked down quietly, as if without any emotional fluctuations. Through the thin screen, it seemed as if this person was looking at the readers opposite.
The monster roared, and the man in black could only move one hand, but he was not at all panicked.
He had been holding tightly in his arms a girl whose face he could not see clearly. With a quick twist of his waist, he pulled out the knife that had been inserted into his forehead, and then landed steadily on the ground.
The entire fighting scene is extremely smooth, and just looking at these static pictures can make people's blood boil. Whether it is the action of leaping into the air, the action of inserting the sword, or the action of drawing the sword, they are all drawn very beautifully.
The whole screen is black, white and red.
What is black is the clothes and hair of the man in black.
What was white was the knife in his hand and his bloodless face.
The red one is the red line all over the sky.
…
Yuan Yuanyuan's hands trembled when she looked at these pictures, especially when she looked at the face on the screen.
She felt her heart was really beating wildly, the kind that was about to jump out of her throat, and she could even hear her own heartbeat with her own ears.
For a full five minutes, she was flipping through those pictures. There was no sound, she just nervously flipped them up and down.
Five minutes later, she suddenly stood up, walked around the room in a daze, picked up the mobile phone on the table, looked at it, put it back, opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside.
The streets are busy with cars and people.
She closed the curtains again.
…
Yuan Yuanyuan forced herself to finish watching the rest of the plot. She wanted to see what happened to the demon hunter in the end, whether he left or stayed, or continued to follow the man in black.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in her heart, and turned downwards with a hint of despair.
After the man in black landed on the ground, the demon hunter could clearly see the person in his arms. The demon hunter was stunned because the person in his arms was obviously a little girl, still wearing a school uniform, with her face buried in the man in black's arms, so he couldn't see clearly.
He was a little dazed for a moment. You know, although he is a demon hunter, he does not kill innocent people indiscriminately. The current situation is very confusing. He doesn't know who the little girl is, nor does he know who the man in black is. But looking at the current situation, it seems that the man in black is saving the little girl.
The origin and strength of this man in black are unknown, and he does not have the usual smell of monsters. If it weren't for the red lines in the sky, he would have thought that the monster in front of him was a human.
He wondered if he should follow and take a look, but the man in black didn't notice him at all. Instead, he turned around and ran forward, quickly disappearing into the night with the little girl...
The demon hunter wanted to chase after him, but the man in black ran too fast and he couldn't catch up. It was raining heavily, covering up their traces.
The scent of the black-clothed monster was very faint to begin with, and after being washed away by the rain, it was even more impossible to find it. The demon hunter searched everywhere but to no avail, so he had to give up.
Yuan Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief at the end, feeling that she was frightened to death. She took out the black windbreaker, picked up her knife, cut the windbreaker into strips, and finally lit a brazier to burn the strips bit by bit.
The red flames slowly climbed up along the cloth strips, and Yuan Yuanyuan was lost in thought as she watched the flames burn. She was thinking about the scene, wondering what was going on.
That scene was definitely painted based on the scene three days ago. The appearance of the alley and every detail were almost exactly the same. Yuan Yuanyuan was able to recall the action three days ago just by looking at these paintings.
At that time, she did change her appearance, disguised her voice, and put on a black windbreaker that she would never wear under normal circumstances.
Yuan Yuanyuan had been wandering for so many years, and she suffered a lot at first because she didn't know how to disguise herself. But then she learned how to change her appearance. Simply changing her appearance can easily make people find her out. Yuan Yuanyuan gradually learned how to change her age, clothes, and even gender.
I have to say that gender is really a killer weapon for disguise. If someone dresses up as a boy, few people would guess that he or she is actually a girl.
After burning the strips of cloth, Yuan Yuanyuan opened the window to let in some fresh air, then picked up her phone and flipped through the comics again. If she was not mistaken, the artist named "Ji Qiu" was indeed a monster. He was standing nearby at the time, secretly recording the whole process, and then drawing it in his comics.
But what was the artist's intention? What was his purpose in drawing this thing
Is she exposed now? Does the artist know that the man in black is her
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the large painting and had to say that the painter's skills were really good. The painting was particularly vivid and every detail was taken into consideration.
…Then her previous praise of the painter’s “realistic” painting seemed a bit ridiculous. According to this painting method, she could also paint very realistically.
Yuan Yuanyuan took a deep breath, walked into the bathroom, filled a basin with water, and buried her head in it.
We must not let anyone come up to us, absolutely not.
She is very satisfied with her current stable life and doesn't want anything to disrupt it.
