At twelve o'clock, the street lights outside were still on.
This place is different from Yuan Yuanyuan's home. After all, this is the city center, and the street lights certainly cannot be turned off at twelve o'clock. However, in the dark night, the light of the street lamps is still a little insignificant.
However, for the monsters, they have another larger "light source".
It is the eggshell cover above the head that emits a silver-blue light.
The streets were empty and snowflakes were falling heavily. Sitting in the house, one could hear the sound of the wind outside, which sounded like the devil's roar.
It's windy.
Yuan Yuanyuan sat in front of the stove and opened her phone to read today's new comics.
Tang Shi was sitting opposite her. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't quite hear what she had asked just now. Now she saw her sneaking around behind the table, secretly glancing at Yuan Yuanyuan, making her feel very uncomfortable.
She pretended not to see what Tang Shi was doing. In fact, she could feel everything Tang Shi was doing. After all, she was a monster, so her senses were always sharper than those of ordinary people.
But she didn't point it out, just like when she stood on the podium and pretended not to see the students chatting below, and just looked at her phone silently.
The Saturday and Monday issues are connected, so the plots are generally quite coherent.
In the previous issue, Fanning was still struggling in the commission office. The beginning of this issue is that Fanning encountered some troubles when working on the commission.
Compared to those traditional Taoist priests, Fanning is actually a rather partial person. He is not very good at spells and incantations, but as a protagonist, it is still unscientific to say that he knows nothing.
So Ji Qiu naturally gave him some cheats. There were two aspects where no other Taoist could compare to him.
The first one is the use of the peach wood sword. In the tavern, Fanning broke into City C holding a peach wood sword. Many years ago, there were many Taoists who could use peach wood swords well, but now fewer and fewer people like to learn this.
After all, this thing is very tiring to learn. After all, drawing talismans is always easier than wielding swords every day, so naturally fewer and fewer people learn it.
The second is the speculation about destiny... So Fanning's stall on the street was not a scam, this man really knows how to predict destiny, and his prediction is extremely accurate.
Many Taoist methods require talent, but to be honest, most of them can be mastered by people who have no talent at all as long as they work hard. This includes drawing talismans, swordsmanship, spells and so on.
Except to speculate on destiny.
This really requires talent. People who don't have this talent will never be able to get started even if they try their best. But Fanning has a wild intuition about this.
Yuan Yuanyuan saw that this guy actually wanted to make money by fortune-telling after he came down the mountain, but in the end he ended up being chased all over the street by the urban management, so he started to kill demons and monsters. For some reason, she inexplicably felt that she was a fellow wanderer in this world.
It seems that the protagonist has a hard time after coming down the mountain.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the protagonist's experience. Although readers may not seem to have much empathy, she felt that she could understand how it felt to be looking for a job while hungry.
Many things in the comics are glossed over, so Ji Qiu did not go into detail about Fanning's hardships. He suddenly changed his brush and began to draw the other side of the story.
He just swung his brush, and the scene suddenly changed from the prosperous human world to the turbulent world of monsters. This time the scene took place in a very dark corner, which looked like the place of exile to the frontier in the ancient "Lingnan".
The environment here is dark and humid everywhere. Just by looking at that forest, one can imagine how many snakes, insects, rats and ants there are. Ji Qiu's painting is very realistic, and he has vividly portrayed a rainforest style.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at this paragraph with a confused look on her face, wondering in her heart what was the purpose of Ji Qiu suddenly inserting this paragraph
She was wondering what kind of monster could be raised here, but when the camera turned, she saw a very familiar face...
“Fuck!” Yuan Yuanyuan was so scared that she cursed, which scared Tang Shi who was standing next to her. She raised her head from the table and shouted, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
"It's okay, it's okay." Yuan Yuanyuan quickly waved her hands to calm Tang Shi down.
After Tang Shi half-believed and half-doubtedly lay back down, Yuan Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the creature on the screen and thought to herself, I've seen this creature before!
Isn’t this the day when we went to the tavern and devoured four groups of those guys
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the snake, and unknowingly the flag she had just set came into effect. She had just said that only snakes, insects, rats and ants would stay in this place, but now a snake really came to her, and it was an extremely long snake.
She looked at her phone, and suddenly she had a strong premonition in her heart—she didn’t need to watch the next episode...
At this time, some people on the Internet have already read the contents of this issue of the comic in bits and pieces, and are now making comments in the comments. Tang Shi was flipping through the comic. The first part of this issue talked about Fanning's recent activities, and in the middle was a passage that was recently known to everyone in the demon world - the invasion of City C.
When Tang Shi saw this, she also sat up suddenly. When the shop owner suddenly swore just now, she also realized what he had seen, which was nothing more than this paragraph.
This was a shame for the monsters in City C, yet it was carelessly drawn in the sketchbook.
She quickly turned over to the back.
Apart from the parties involved, almost no one could see what happened on that day. Outsiders could not see the whole process of the development of the day, but now through this method, they can see it clearly.
Tang Shi was inexplicably angry when she saw this kind of thing being drawn, as if a secret guarded by the monsters in City C had been exposed. She didn't know why she was so angry, but she couldn't help but want to look down.
She saw a story made up of ink paintings.
On a rainy night, a huge group of monsters suddenly appeared above the chaotic city...
Black clouds were floating in from the horizon, rolling and looking like a puff of thick smoke. However, red and green lights flashed from time to time in these black clouds, letting people know that there was actually something inside.
As the dark cloud got closer, readers saw that the front of the cloud looked like a hideous face. When the dark cloud got even closer, readers realized that it was really a face.
A snake-like face with scarlet tongue, like an evil totem.
The snake fell straight down towards the city. In an instant, the cloud dispersed, and countless terrifying things came out of it. These things looked long, black, and twisted. They squirmed their bodies and drilled into every corner of the city like demons...
This was the beginning of the invasion of City C that day. City C is still under blockade because the invading little devils have not been caught yet. Now when you go out, you can see groups of monsters patrolling the streets, and from time to time one or two small snakes are caught.
The big white snake was not like the other little snakes. He looked at the city and walked straight to a place that he was familiar with. Although Ji Qiu didn't draw much, Tang Shi knew that it was Qiu Ying.
Sure enough... the following plot is just as the outside world knows. Up to this point, basically all the plots can be summarized by the public through the process pieced together that day, and the remaining only differences are in the details.
The white snake first frightened all the monsters in Qiuying and made them kneel down, and then began to question the monsters here.
They asked one by one, "Where is Yuan?"
Tang Shi had heard before that the monsters in the tavern that day were all asked this question, but why they were asked this question remains a mystery.
Qiuying has always been the most informed place in City C, so the monster went there to ask for news as soon as he arrived, which shows that he is quite familiar with City C. However, Tang Shi didn't understand why these people came to find Yuan in such a big way.
When she was wondering, she suddenly saw a very familiar shadow in the comics, which made her stunned.
"Bai, little brother in white?" Tang Shi also shouted.
Yuan Yuanyuan, who was dozing off at the side, was awakened by her shout. She leaned over to take a look, not seeming surprised at all. "Oh, what's wrong? You like this stuff, too?"
"My idol, he's really in Qiuying. I only heard about him before, but I didn't expect it to be true." Tang Shi suddenly became excited, "Oh! Then tell me if I can run into him when I go to Qiuying tomorrow!"
"Don't even think about it. Minors are not allowed in there." Yuan Yuanyuan changed her posture and dozed off in another direction.
The young man in white only appeared for a moment and then disappeared. Tang Shi was still looking for the young man in white, but before she found him, she saw Yuan appear in the comics.
He was still wearing the black clothes and messy bangs, and suddenly appeared on the white snake, looking at it coldly.
That look looked like he wanted to dissect the white snake.
Compared with the big white snake opposite, Yuan is just like Chihiro in Spirited Away facing the river god who hasn't taken a bath yet... Tang Shi had only seen that short video, but now seeing this scene drawn in the comics with two-dimensional brushstrokes, she was very excited.
Yuan looked at the white snake and began his own dance.
The top-level magic skills and strange fighting dances in the demon world appeared before the eyes of the world for the first time, and were even shown in front of humans.
Every movement is of textbook standard. For any monster, this section is worth studying dozens of times.
Tang Shi looked at Yuan in the comic and thought that his expression was indescribably handsome.
This kind of handsomeness is the kind of handsomeness that is very cold. Although Yuan is recognized as the number one girl in Mengman... but after seeing that video that day, Tang Shi found that this person has a feeling that no one else can imitate.
That feeling is probably what it's like to be in a spy camp, dark, but particularly attractive.
If she really met such a person in the three-dimensional world... Tang Shi thought, even though it was a scary thing to think about, she felt that she would still be crazy about him.
Yuan Yuanyuan was flipping through the comments with sleepy eyes, watching the various great writers expressing their thoughts after watching the film.
For the demon world, they have already known about this video, but for humans, this is the first time they have actually seen it.
So for them, the impact was simply unimaginable.
Yuan's strange war dance itself is a kind of profound sorcery. The feeling presented on the screen is like dancing. The various shots added together are so beautiful that it gives people goose bumps.
That snake was miserable too... He said he was looking for Yuan, and Yuan actually showed up. It will probably be traumatized for the rest of its life.
Did he put the flag too high? Why did the young man in white suddenly disappear? He appeared for a moment, and then I couldn't find him.
Ahhhh Yuan is so damn handsome! I don't know why I know this guy won't end well, but I just accepted this character without hesitation orz
This is just like Uncle Snake... Although this guy has extremely perverse values, there are still a group of people who like him, not to mention that Yuan is even more handsome than Uncle Snake.
Yuan Yuanyuan saw a lot of people licking the screen. Since she started reading this comic, she saw people licking her own screen every day. Although it was a bit strange, she gradually persuaded herself to let it go.
Despite this, she still felt a little strange when looking at the pictures in the comics, and this weird feeling could not be eliminated.
Tang Shi looked at the pictures in the comics. She licked some of them over and over again. They were the pictures related to Yuan.
The topic on the website just now about what Yuan's life was like in the past still left a deep impression on her. Now looking at these comics, it has a different flavor.
"Stop it, sir. If you continue like this, this tavern will be destroyed." Suddenly a woman's voice was heard. Yuan turned his head and looked at the woman standing behind him. She was the proprietress of this place.
Yuan turned around and saw the woman coming behind him.
His eyes were still very cold, but he slowly put away the dagger in his hand.
The comments were full of praise for this part, saying: "Ahhh this part looks really cool!" Yuan looked like a big shot!
Adults and such... I feel so handsome when I say that.
Imagination Yuan has always been quite approachable... It was only in the second volume that he started to exude his own aura of coolness. When will Faning be able to catch up with him
"Shopkeeper, this Yuan is so handsome... But I've always wondered, wouldn't he be angry when he saw himself drawn in the comics? It feels like a live broadcast." Tang Shi said.
She found that the owner was silent again, so she called out several times, "Owner! Owner! Don't be distracted all the time."
The shop owner's face was very dark, as black as the bottom of a pot... He was looking at his phone with an extremely rich expression.
"Wow... Why do you have that expression? Did I say something wrong again?" Tang Shi shrank his neck.
"No, you're right... The one who's wrong is this lousy painter." The shop owner threw his phone away, "He painted everything on it. He really wants to be famous."
"That's right." Tang Shi nodded in agreement. "You dare to draw something like this when something big happened in C City? Sooner or later, you'll be put in a sack."
At the same time, countless people were reading this comic and sharing their feelings in the comment section. In a small city on the other side, a person was sitting in front of Fanning.
He was wearing a Taoist robe, looking at Fanning, and spoke slowly.
"If you still insist on killing... then you are no longer one of us Three Pure Ones."
He raised the cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp to Fanning, "Have a drink."
