Yuan Yuanyuan quietly felt the heartbeat around her. The sound was sometimes louder and sometimes softer and felt extremely unstable, like an old-fashioned radio with poor cash register effect.
She closed her eyes and felt it again.
The heartbeats around her were getting closer and farther away. Although she couldn't see with her eyes, Yuan Yuanyuan could vaguely feel the movements of the people walking on the street.
Some people's heartbeats are particularly slow and steady, and they walk leisurely on the street. Some people's heartbeats are as fierce as drums, and they quickly fade away. They are probably running...
Yuan Yuanyuan took two steps forward with her eyes closed. Suddenly, her leg bumped into something. She took a breath and looked down. It turned out that she had hit the corner of the table.
She limped out from the table, rubbed herself for a long time with a grin on her face, and pushed the door open and walked out.
Yuan Yuanyuan wondered if the sound would become louder if she moved closer to the street, but the moment she walked out of the door, the sound suddenly disappeared.
The only sound was the sound of vehicles running on the street and honking their horns.
Yuan Yuanyuan was completely confused.
She looked back at the door, went back into the room, closed the door, and stood in the room for about two minutes before the sound gradually became audible.
…What’s going on
Yuan Yuanyuan was delighted at first that she had learned a new magic trick, but now she discovered that the sensitivity of this magic trick could probably be classified as metaphysical... sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.
This makes the original round shape a little square.
She walked around the room, and the sound was still like a broken radio, intermittent and occasionally mixed with some noise.
This shouldn't be the case. This is very different from what is written in the demon manual. They are completely on a different level.
The Blood Jade Demonic Art did not describe its effects in detail, only a simple sentence. It said, "The spirit is the chess piece, the world is the chessboard, the chess pieces are interwoven on the chessboard, and a world can be obtained."
This magic trick has no name, but because of this introduction, Yuan Yuanyuan simply calls it the chessboard trick.
Otherwise, Yuan Yuanyuan would say that this Blood Jade Demon Art is awesome... People just dare to write it. This sounds extremely arrogant, but Yuan Yuanyuan just felt it and it is indeed quite interesting.
The heartbeats of the people around... or rather the monsters, could be heard everywhere. One heartbeat was like a chess piece on a chessboard. A hundred heartbeats would form the general appearance of a chessboard.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the door in confusion.
It seemed as if the sound disappeared immediately after she pushed the door open. In other words, something must have changed before and after pushing the door open, causing the sound to become smaller
And now it has stabilized again... So does this mean there is a certain pattern to this
Yuan Yuanyuan walked around the room and suddenly turned her head to the kerosene lamp in the middle of the room.
The kerosene lamp was the most common kerosene lamp, which had long been phased out. This thing was not brought by Yuan Yuanyuan, but was one of the few relatively intact things left in the house.
At first Yuan Yuanyuan thought this thing was not bright enough, but later she found that it was quite good to put it there to enhance the atmosphere.
This kerosene lamp looks very well made, like a combination of a long-necked vase and an alcohol stove, with a punk style of an overhead mechanical industry, and is different from those tattered kerosene lamps. It has been placed in a corner, and the corner has been blackened by it, which shows that it has been used for a long time.
Because this kerosene lamp is so beautiful, even though candles are brighter than kerosene lamps, Yuan Yuanyuan still took a kerosene lamp to show off, imagining that if a guest comes over at night one day, she will light the kerosene lamp and sit quietly by the side...
However, there are no guests now, so this kerosene lamp seems to have no substantial use.
Yuan Yuanyuan found that when she got closer to the kerosene lamp, the sound became louder, and when she moved away, the sound began to become weaker.
What the hell…
Yuan Yuanyuan picked up the kerosene lamp and watched its small, bean-sized flame burning.
No way…
From now on... do I still have to carry a kerosene lamp with me when I go out to fight
…
Although Yuan Yuanyuan spent a whole day in the house and didn't quite understand why the sound became louder when she got closer to the kerosene lamp and became quieter when she moved away, "Monster Records" was still updated as usual.
At twelve o'clock on Sunday night, the latest issue of "Yao Ji" was updated as scheduled. In the previous issue, Faning successfully refreshed the readers' usual thinking about him and turned to another magical path... Now readers are very interested in where Faning will go next, so they come here to wait late at night.
Yuan Yuanyuan also sat next to the kerosene lamp holding her phone. She had been sitting next to it all day, practicing magic skills, and she had even blackened the inside of her nose...
No matter how exquisitely made a kerosene lamp is, it will still emit smoke, and it is black smoke. Yuan Yuanyuan feels that she is really working hard to sit here.
She coughed for the umpteenth time because of being choked. She opened her phone and watched the little daisy inside spin. After the little daisy finished spinning, she refreshed the contents inside.
In fact, it feels like Saturdays and Sundays are less fun if I don't go to work. Sister Li likes to read "Yo Ki". It's much more interesting to see her reaction when reading the comics. As long as she doesn't cry, it's still a pretty standard reaction of a comic fan.
But I’ve mostly been drawing Faning lately, and Sister Li seems to be a fan of Yuan, so she may not like this part.
Yuan Yuanyuan read the contents of the comics and found that Faning had no relatives after he came out. She knew that according to the background setting, Faning had no father or mother, and had only been brought up by this lame senior since childhood, so he had nowhere to go.
In fact, the influence of this senior on Fanning was a little beyond Yuan Yuanyuan's imagination. She originally thought that Fanning might struggle a little and pretend to obey, but who knew that he really just left with his bag and never looked back.
From this we can see that Faning listened to the words of his senior to a certain extent. Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she might not be so obedient even to her mother. To some extent, Faning was still a very stubborn child.
Fanning was walking on the road, he didn't know where he was going or what his future would be like.
As a demon hunter from a traditional sect, he had received all the education from the traditional sect. However, at this moment, he suddenly changed from a traditional demon hunter to a wandering demon hunter.
For traditional demon hunters, being a wandering demon hunter is something that only exists in nightmares. The difference between the two is known to all demon hunters.
From today on, he is no longer the demon hunter of the Sanqing sect.
Fanning didn't know how many days he had been on the road. He couldn't recognize where he was and had no clue where he was going. He didn't even know how long he had been walking. He just wanted to keep walking until he couldn't walk anymore.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, his vision became blurred, and suddenly he saw a faint red color.
"Red?" Fanning was stunned.
He turned his head and suddenly saw a brilliant sea of red flowers.
Fanning really couldn't walk anymore. Before he fainted, he wondered in a daze, where did such a large field of flowers come from
It was not until it was almost dark that Fanning opened his eyes again.
Huh? Yuan Yuanyuan watched this scene and thought to herself, this is not a good place to plant such a large field of red spider lilies.
There are quite a lot of elements of the red spider lily that appear in anime, such as Inui, Jigoku Shoujo, and it has appeared many times in a certain censored anime, because the image of this thing is really quite childish.
There are flowers but no leaves, and there are leaves but no flowers.
Of course, few people know that this thing has a down-to-earth name called "Chinese Lycoris".
Which idiot planted such a large patch of Chinese Lycoris in the yard... Wouldn't it scare you when you get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night? It's all red.
Yuan Yuanyuan put down the phone in her hand, complained, and turned around to go to sleep.
In a small, dark alley, a man holding a small cell phone breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a pool of blood under his feet, with a small dead leaf floating quietly in it.
Liu An stared at the leaf in a trance. He was a little glad that the comics did not include the scene where "Faning" was hospitalized. If it had been drawn, his identity would most likely have been exposed.
Although his identity has always been hidden... thanks to Yu Jiqiu's deception, a person walking on the street in a hospital gown is too conspicuous. Apart from him who was an idiot at the time, there are probably not many people in the world who can do such a thing.
He looked at the blood-red flowers on the other shore and frowned silently.
It's so red that it's blinding. What kind of taste is this Ji Qiu
"Xiao Liu! Are you done? Hurry up!"
"Okay." Liu An put down his phone, stood up, and walked towards the pool of blood in front of him.
There lay a dead monster, his eyes staring straight at the sky, with a hole in his chest. The moonlight shone down from above his head, and his eyes were frozen.
It is now a quarter past twelve at night.
Liu An looked at the monster, slowly opened the body bag beside him, and put the tragically dead monster into it. Before zipping up the bag, he gently put his hand on the monster's eyes and closed them.
The dark alley was filled with the howling of the wind, as if there were ghosts wandering around.
City C is a place where all kinds of fights often occur, so there are a lot of corpses. Similarly, the industry of corpse collectors is also extremely prosperous.
Of course, they are not called corpse collectors in the local area... They are called scavengers. Although there have always been special monsters responsible for this task, as the scavenger family grows, fewer and fewer monsters are willing to do this job, and there is often a shortage of manpower, so they often spend money to hire a large number of laborers to complete this task for them.
Even so, few monsters are willing to do this job... because it is considered the most low-level job, which happens in the dark and cannot be seen in the light.
Liu An put away the body bag, squatted on the ground, and wiped the blood on the ground with a small cloth. After the blood was wiped by the cloth, it seemed to evaporate and disappeared in an instant.
Yuan Yuanyuan woke up feeling groggy early in the morning. She looked at the man who walked in at the door. He was wearing a military coat, with the same messy hair, and holding the purchased vegetables and breakfast in his hands.
"Boss, are you awake?" Liu An said when he saw Yuan Yuanyuan drowsily getting up from her chair.
Yuan Yuanyuan nodded. She couldn't sleep last night and studied it for a long time. Finally, she understood the secret of why the chessboard trick sometimes worked and sometimes didn't.
It wasn't the kerosene lamp, nor her spiritual power, nor the weather, the scenery, or the flowers and plants outside.
It's smoke.
