A small house with a very faint yellow light coming out from inside.
Because there is no electricity in here, there is naturally no electric light. There is only a candle burning with a lampshade on the outside.
On a very old wooden table, a man was sleeping. He had jet-black hair and was wearing a tight black high-necked shirt. His bangs tightly blocked his face, so it was impossible to see what he looked like.
One of his hands was hanging outside. His hand was very white and thin, with long fingers, and blue veins could be seen under the skin on the back of his hand.
The room was quiet, without a sound, and the candlelight flickered. At six o'clock in the morning, the person lying on the table suddenly started and opened his eyes.
The school not far away started broadcasting. It was six o'clock.
The person at the table got up, yawned lazily, walked to the window, pulled the thick curtains, and sunlight instantly shone into the room.
Great... Another night without customers.
In other words, she was idle for another day.
Standing in front of the window, Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the bright sunshine and felt extremely happy. However, this happiness did not last for just a few minutes when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.
"Boss! Have you eaten? I brought you breakfast!"
Damn, why is this girl here again
…
Today is the end of Yuan Yuanyuan's first month on duty here.
"You said you only come here two days a week and stay for only one night each time. How much money can you make?" The girl said as she stuffed buns into her mouth.
Yuan Yuanyuan finished a bun and went to get another one. "Uh... I didn't plan to make any money. Why are you asking so many questions?"
"I just looked at this house and felt a little sad. It's such a big house... Why did you buy it if you don't make money?" the girl said.
To be honest, this house was not bought by her, it was given to her as a gift... Yuan Yuanyuan wanted to say this, but then swallowed it back.
"I've finished eating, and I still have to do morning exercises. The rest is yours." The girl said and ran out. She was the girl who came to Yuan Yuanyuan's place on the first day of its opening. She was also a little monster who had been living as a human.
Yuan Yuanyuan finished eating the last few buns, packed up the plastic bag, and prepared to go home.
She has a proper job. She works the night shift and is exhausted. She also has to teach herself witchcraft. Now she has another job like this. She sleeps during the day and works at night. How can she have the free time to look after the store
Anyway, the monsters themselves said that she was just there for show, so why should she take it so seriously
After get off work, after get off work, another day has passed.
Yuan Yuanyuan pushed open the door and saw many students in school uniforms coming in from the school next door. She was also one of those who went to school in the middle of winter. Now looking at these students, she can still recall the miserable feeling she had back then.
Ah... It seems to be very miserable now.
The small house has been tidied up and looks brand new. Although it is not bright and beautiful, it no longer has the haunted house feeling that she had when she first came here. She threw away several broken tables and chairs, and after tidying up the rest, she still found them usable, so she kept them.
There was a piece of paper posted on the door of the house with a few small words written on it.
The owner is away all year round, but we met by chance.
Listen, what a willful shop owner.
Fortunately, Yuan Yuanyuan doesn’t rely on this for a living, otherwise she would have starved to death sooner or later.
Yuan Yuanyuan's face is now in a very metaphysical state. To describe it briefly, it has undergone another transformation based on the transformed Yuan.
The face that has been transformed now is 70% similar to Yuan, but it cannot be said to be exactly the same. It can only be said that they look very much like the same person, but they are not.
She turned her head to look at the note on the door. She felt that the note was about to be blown away by the wind. She thought about whether she should get a roll of tape and stick the note again.
The recent "Monster Records" can be said to be calm... Of course, compared to the calmness on the monster side, the demon hunter side is almost in full swing.
In addition to Faning pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, he got the tenth place in the sect election and was just about to become an elite disciple, which surprised everyone. There was also a hint of new commotion on the demon-killing master's side.
It is said that a long time ago, the predecessors of the demon exorcists sealed a big monster. Now it has been too long, and recently the seal has suddenly loosened, and there are signs that it is about to break out.
In this competition, the top ten people had to go to participate in the re-sealing ceremony. Fanning was unlucky enough to be ranked tenth...
Haha, when seeing this, Yuan Yuanyuan covered her face and laughed awkwardly.
To be honest, Yuan Yuanyuan has read novels and animations for so many years, and has never encountered a situation where the monster cannot escape from the seal...
Moreover, this sect was unique. The place where he was sealed happened to be the main entrance of the sect where Faning was located... It was said that when he was sealed, they borrowed the terrain of the sect. There was an ancestor of the sect who set up a seal there, so he had to be sealed in that place.
That sect is a very ancient one. After reading the comics for so long, Yuan Yuanyuan has almost figured out which sect it is - Sanqing Taoist Temple.
A sect that sounds very Taoist, and in fact it is indeed Taoist. At least for many years, it has been one of the most famous Taoist sects.
The headquarters of this sect is located in City K, which is a million miles away from City C. Yuan Yuanyuan is not anxious at all. What does the monster over there have to do with her? No matter what they do, it will not affect her.
In other words... just like the chaos in Meteor Street, what does it have to do with the outside world? They are two completely unrelated groups of people.
So, even though the demon-hunting Taoist priests over there have been making a lot of trouble recently, Yuan Yuanyuan has been very free here. She has not appeared in eight magazines in a whole month, and she is free from all worries.
This shows that Yuan Yuanyuan has been very idle recently. She has practiced some very useful magic spells recently. These magic spells are not attacking magic spells, but some auxiliary magic spells. However, they are all things she has never come into contact with before.
For example, this one - a blind spot.
Yuan Yuanyuan fiddled with the leaves in her hand, thinking back and forth in her mind about how this thing worked... She got off work early today, much earlier than usual. As long as nothing serious happened in City C, the number of customers in the tavern would not increase dramatically.
When it was almost time, there were only a few customers left, so Sister Li Zi waved her hand and let Yuan Yuanyuan go home.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt that there was really nothing to do today, mainly because she was used to activities such as hiding during the day and being active at night, and she was a little uncomfortable getting off work so early out of the blue.
How about going to that room and taking a look... It's pretty boring anyway, so why not go there and make clothes
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why, but she suddenly got the urge to do it tonight. She first slipped underground, transformed herself with ease, and then came out again.
After opening the door, Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the snow piled at the door. Just as she was thinking about whether to sweep it, she suddenly saw two people squatting at the door.
"I..." Yuan Yuanyuan swallowed the word "damn" that was about to come out of her mouth. She looked at the two people at the door, one was the girl from the daytime, and there was another girl standing next to her.
“You two… what are you doing in the middle of the night?” Yuan Yuanyuan felt her heart pounding with fear.
"I've got it!" The girl stood up suddenly, and then pulled another girl next to her to stand up as well.
Both girls were wearing thick down jackets, but it was snowing lightly everywhere, and both girls were so cold that their faces turned red.
“… Come in and warm up.” Yuan Yuanyuan opened the door, and the two girls behind her chattered, “The owner really came today, you’re awesome!”
"I can't predict anything else... but this one is more reliable."
"The owner is very handsome. I am not lying."
"No, he's really handsome! He looks a bit like an iceberg guy, so tall, and his legs are so straight and white."
Yuan Yuanyuan's room was very warm, even though the heater was not on. I wonder if it was because of the spell.
When the two girls came in, the girl in front who had been there during the day looked normal, but the girl behind kept looking at the roof, as if she was studying something.
"You don't seem... a monster?" From the beginning, Yuan Yuanyuan suspected that her sense of smell was wrong. However, no matter how many times she sniffed, she felt that the girl behind her was a pure human.
"Qiu Ling is a human." The monster girl said: "She is psychic. She is my only friend in school and she is very powerful."
"I'm sorry, I can always see this house... I heard that someone came in here recently, so I wanted to come and take a look, and Tang Shi brought me here." The human girl said embarrassedly.
Hey, a human girl
When Yuan Yuanyuan was making milk tea, she kept thinking about the opening sentence of Rurouni Kenshin in her mind.
Although this world is very realistic and fucked up, sometimes we still have to hold on to some hope.
As a half-demon herself, Yuan Yuanyuan actually wanted to see this kind of scene where monsters and humans loved each other... But she also knew that her idea was too saintly. If something went wrong, it would be a big deal. So all along, it was just a wish that she kept in her heart.
Now seeing the two little girls, who seemed to be getting along well, she felt inexplicably a little happy.
There are still many people who can communicate with spirits. Otherwise, where do all those Taoists come from? There are always a few humans who have vague inspirations.
The girl in front of me is probably a psychic... If she were in a Korean drama, she would be the heroine in no time.
When she was about to enter the house with the tray, she suddenly heard two people in the house talking.
Yuan Yuanyuan paused and stopped.
"Be careful, this shop owner is not... not a kind person."
"What's wrong? He's a nice guy. Apart from being a little lazy, a little pretentious, and a little lazy, there's nothing wrong with him..."
"... That's not what I meant. I meant... He is not as simple as he seems."
"Just say it clearly. If you put it that way, I wouldn't be able to guess it."
“… I saw a patch of red on his body.”
"… ah?"
"The red light shooting up into the sky made my scalp tingle, as if it had just been soaked in human blood. I have never seen so much red light in my life. It was just like a bloody man."
"Puff..."
"What the hell are you laughing at? I want to leave, do you want to go?"
"No, no... I just suddenly felt that if this person had blood light rising into the sky, then his character would be a bit like your idol. Doesn't your idol also drink blood? In fact, I have always thought that they look quite similar..."
"Oh my god! That's the second dimension. How can the second dimension be the same as the third dimension?! Can it be!"
Yuan Yuanyuan, who was standing outside, coughed and walked in with a tray. The two girls immediately sat up straight, and it was impossible to tell what they had just talked about.
Yuan Yuanyuan put the tray on the table and smiled at the two girls.
Damn, the girls nowadays... are really amazing.
