Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Tang Shi, and Tang Shi looked at Yuan Yuanyuan. Tang Shi had just handed Yuan Yuanyuan a cup of warm tea. Yuan Yuanyuan took a sip and then held it in her hand.
The atmosphere between the two people was inexplicably awkward.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt that there was only a slight difference between her face and her former boss's face, and the difference was basically negligible. But in Tang Shi's eyes, the difference seemed huge.
Yuan Yuanyuan took another sip of milk tea. Actually, she was still worried that some big monster would follow her. But after calculating the time, six or seven hours had passed and no big monster had followed her. She guessed that everything was really fine.
She glanced at Tang Shi again. Tang Shi had been playing with her phone with her head down. She would never look up at her unless she was talking to Yuan Yuanyuan. Yuan Yuanyuan called Tang Shi's name, and Tang Shi looked up as if he was suddenly awakened.
This won't do... Why does it always seem like Tang Shi is a bit of a coward? Yuan Yuanyuan didn't want to be so awkward with this little brat who seemed to be her apprentice, so she decided to say something that she often said to Tang Shi when she was the boss.
She said, "Is there anything to eat? I'm a little hungry."
Tang Shi exclaimed, "Ah!" and quickly put down her phone. She said, "Yes, yes, yes. Wait a minute. I'll get some for you right away."
She turned and walked out, and Yuan Yuanyuan followed her down. She felt her legs were a little weak and her body was a little inflexible, so she walked along the wall.
After leaving the bedroom, there is their living room. Yuan Yuanyuan had been here before, so she recognized it at a glance. Tang Shi's home is decorated very warmly. The windows are closed at this time, and the curtains are also drawn, blocking the scenery outside the window.
Yuan Yuanyuan lifted a corner of the window to look at the scenery outside. It was almost dawn, but the red color in the sky was still so scary, and combined with the early morning sunlight, it looked extremely weird.
Wouldn't this scare ordinary people? Yuan Yuanyuan thought.
But she remembered that there were countermeasures for this kind of situation... It was not the first time that monsters had fought and the streets were covered with mosaics. The next day, the monsters in charge of this area would immediately clean up the place. There was even a department in City C that was specifically responsible for this kind of thing.
This is what Yuan Yuanyuan heard when she was working in City C. However, she felt that the monsters might not be able to come out to clean up today because the fight has not been completed yet.
The only good news was that the war took place in the air, so there were not many obstacles to pedestrians on the ground. Although she felt that this was not good news.
Maybe the fighting will stop temporarily when day comes... Monsters don't like to expose their things in the daytime.
Yuan Yuanyuan let down the curtains and smelled a pleasant aroma. She walked over and saw that Tang Shi had cooked a bowl of instant noodles with eggs, ham and other things in it and placed it on the table.
Smelling the food, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly felt energetic. She walked over and started to eat voraciously.
While eating, Tang Shi, who was standing next to her, looked at Yuan Yuanyuan silently. He wanted to say something several times, but then he held it back.
"You closed the curtains? That's smart." Yuan Yuanyuan said, "But why did you light mosquito coils in this weather?"
"I was wondering if I could cover up your scent..." Tang Shi said, "I heard that the demonic aura on the big monster is very strong..."
"I'm a special monster. I don't have any smell on me." Yuan Yuanyuan said, "Turn it off quickly. Who would light this now?"
"Is it so powerful?" Tang Shi came over and asked. Yuan Yuanyuan was still biting the egg in her mouth. She said, "Look, have you smelled anything from just now until now?"
"I thought only big monsters could smell that smell." Tang Shi said in a low voice.
Yuan Yuanyuan now felt that there was a bit of past feeling between the two of them. She finished a full bowl of food but still felt hungry and not full. She wanted to ask for something more to eat, but suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
While I was struggling, Tang Shi got up to get something. When she came back, she took out a plastic bag and dumped it on the table. A bunch of puffed food poured out...
Then the two of them sat in front of the table and ate potato chips. Each of them opened a bag and ate facing each other.
"Where's your dad?" The two chatted about random things while eating. Yuan Yuanyuan asked where Lao Niu was, and Xiao Niu said, "My dad is not at home."
"I told you your dad isn't home... If he was, why would I let you carry me back? You're simply asking for your life." Yuan Yuanyuan said while licking her fingers.
"Your original face is more handsome than the boss's face." Tang Shi said, "It seems that there is not much difference, but this face looks... a little scary."
"What's the connection between being handsome and scary?" Yuan Yuanyuan said. Tang Shi asked, "Boss, how have you been lately?"
“It’s still the same old thing.”
"Same old... Are you still reading comics and drinking Coke every day?"
"That's about right."
"Just bragging..."
The two chatted for a while, and then the sky got bright. Yuan Yuanyuan looked over again, and the fighting was temporarily suspended, but after the sky got bright, it seemed as if there was a layer of blood mist in the sky...
Yuan Yuanyuan felt terrified watching this. She wondered if this scene could be explained by air pollution. It seemed a bit far-fetched.
"Boss, why did you suddenly collapse on the street yesterday?" Tang Shi asked, "Did you suddenly become ill?"
"You're the one who's having a seizure." Yuan Yuanyuan said. She looked at the height where Tang Shi's house was and suddenly thought of something. She turned to ask Tang Shi, "Hey, did anyone come over here yesterday and take something? Was it a long, thin thread?"
"What is that? A thin thread?" Tang Shi asked, "How can I see something like a thread? I'm not an eagle..."
"I thought that since you live at a high place, you might be able to see it." Yuan Yuanyuan said.
The thin thread she was talking about was the one that happened a long time ago when they went to a comic convention. That person took out a short, thin silver thread. As soon as he took it out, Yuan Yuanyuan fell to her knees... It's been almost a year, and she still doesn't know what that thing is.
But she was terrified for a while, then she relaxed. First, she was injured but still able to fight, and second, there was only one thing at the time, and it was carefully put away, so it seemed that there should not be many.
Yuan Yuanyuan knew that Tang Shi didn't see anything, so she stopped asking. She thought that she should go home quickly while she still had some strength, otherwise she would not be able to go back if that thing came out again at night.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Tang Shi suddenly said, "I suddenly remembered... A few strange monsters came yesterday, but I didn't see what they took. They burned something on the roof of our house."
"What's burning?" Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and looked at Tang Shi, wondering what was burning? That silver thread
That's unlikely... Isn't that just one thing? But what on earth is that thing? Why is it so powerful
"I feel like they are burning something," Tang Shi said, "because after they burned it, they created a gust of wind... It seems like they are spreading the wind into the city."
Yuan Yuanyuan, who was not very interested at first, suddenly paused when she heard this. She turned her head and said "Huh", and quickly asked about the details of the Tang poem.
…
After returning home, Yuan Yuanyuan felt groggy and ate an apple while lying on the bed. The fat cat tried to get close to her but Yuan Yuanyuan threw him away. She didn't want him to notice that there was something wrong with her.
She lay in bed and began to think about the specific details of that night... It seemed that a group of people came from the other side, stood on top of the tall building, set something on fire, and then used witchcraft to blow the emitted powder to the whole building.
City.
How much of that stuff did these people use? Was it just one place in the city? Or was it in many places
But what exactly was that silver thread? Yuan Yuanyuan could still remember what it looked like. It was not very long and was thin.
Yuan Yuanyuan was thinking hard about this question. The fat cat came over persistently, and Yuan Yuanyuan held down the cat's head. "Tell me what this silver thread is?"
"Silver threads? Three thousand silver threads?" Fat Cat was stunned. "What kind of rubbish ancient idol drama have you watched recently that has made you crazy... Why did you suddenly ask such a sour question?"
Yuan Yuanyuan paused as she was touching the cat's head.
hair…
By the way, the silver hair looks like white hair...
The fat cat over there continued to complain, "You suddenly asked me what silver hair is... How should I answer this question? Oh... But I suddenly remembered the little cat next door that I loved when I was still a little cat... When she got married, she really wanted to go to the enemy monks, but she was afraid that she would be killed by them first... By the way, if a cat shaves its head, will it have a bald spot..."
She sat up suddenly, and the fat cat next to her was startled. Yuan Yuanyuan quickly put on her clothes and ran towards the tavern. She wanted to find the proprietress and ask her what was going on.
Before entering the door, she had to clock in and tell the pub that she had taken the female students home yesterday. Yuan Yuanyuan came over from the kitchen first and saw Siqun squatting there. She greeted Siqun, who looked up at her and then kept staring at her.
Yuan Yuanyuan was afraid that Siqun would be able to see something. In fact, her health was not that good yet. There were many bruises on her skin, which were quite painful to touch.
She quickly cut her face, left the kitchen, and went to the place she usually went to.
However, today, before she even entered the door, she saw the proprietress waiting anxiously outside. When the two met, the proprietress suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
What happened? Yuan Yuanyuan stood at the door, a little at a loss. Did she also know about her tragic experience last night
