Ever since Liu An arrived at the clothing store, Yuan Yuanyuan's life has instantly upgraded from a poor person to a wealthy one.
For some reason, she had the illusion that she had gotten a great bargain recently... or maybe it wasn't an illusion.
When Yuan Yuanyuan came home last night, she found a slaughtered chicken in her room...
She looked at the chicken and pondered for a long time. The last time she had meat was probably last Wednesday. A big guy came to the pub and called a bunch of girls to accompany him for drinks. She thought the food was good, so she secretly followed him...
Now there was an extra chicken here, Yuan Yuanyuan was a little confused. She went over to ask, and it turned out that Liu An had been helping the chicken-selling lady move things before dawn every morning, and the lady gave him the gift because she saw that he was honest.
My An is awesome.
Even though Yuan Yuanyuan's business actually consisted of a very poor boss and an even poorer clerk, when the two of them got along well with each other, it actually looked like a legitimate shop.
So... I should find a friend as soon as possible, Yuan Yuanyuan said with inexplicable emotion.
In fact, Yuan Yuanyuan has never been able to say one thing... When they first met Liu An and saw him walking down the street in a hospital gown, Yuan Yuanyuan and Tang Shi both thought he was a psychopath...
When the 15th issue of Volume 2 of "Yao Ji" was updated on Saturday, Liu An had already been here for ten days. After these ten days, Yuan Yuanyuan felt that this man really lived up to her impression of the most powerful guy.
On the tenth day, she thought about holding a welcome party for Liu An. After all, when he came on the first day, Yuan Yuanyuan didn't pay much attention to him because he made such a bad first impression.
So today, Yuan Yuanyuan specially bought a small cake from the discounted cake shop downstairs... and then sat in the house, reading comics while waiting for Liu An to come back.
According to the general time period, Liu An would set out around seven in the evening and come back at three or four in the morning with the purchased vegetables. He would sleep for a while after cooking and then get up at noon to continue working.
Yuan Yuanyuan was reading a comic book with a cup of tea in her hand. She drank tea while looking at the little chrysanthemums on the comic book, and guessed what today's content was about.
The moment the comic was refreshed, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly raised her eyebrows.
Damn, long time no see, and today’s update is about her again.
The cover of today's comic is a large picture of Yuan. Generally speaking, whoever's portrait is on the cover, most of the content of the issue is related to him.
So far, the character Yuan has been featured on the cover three times. Those two times were in the first volume, and this is the first time that Yuan is featured as the cover character in the second volume.
Because this was related to Yuan Yuanyuan, she sat up straight in an instant and looked at what was updated on the comics.
At this moment, countless readers also opened the magazine and looked at the contents inside.
…
The sky was red and the ground was covered with corpses. The corpses were piled on the ground, completely covering the exposed ground.
The color at the beginning made Yuan Yuanyuan feel like she was blind for a moment. This color combination was too blinding and it looked bloody. Every time she saw Ji Qiu painting war scenes, Yuan Yuanyuan felt terrified.
When she read the comics before and knew nothing about it, Yuan Yuanyuan could only sigh, "Awesome, well drawn, so realistic." But now, Yuan Yuanyuan is really frightened when she sees the red color. In fact, if this comics was not related to her, she thinks she would never read this kind of comics that makes her nervous all the time.
The first few pictures were all quite large descriptions of war scenes. Yuan Yuanyuan was watching them with a frown on her brow. She couldn't tell where it was just from the screen, but she had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
A thought popped into her mind—is it finally here
… In fact, a long, long time ago, when Yuan Yuanyuan first learned about the incident related to Yiqi, she vaguely realized that the subsequent comics would definitely depict plots related to the war that year.
Especially after the second volume came out, her premonition became even stronger. The tone of the second volume was so dark that it was very likely to describe something that could be considered the dark side of the demon world.
These premises, coupled with the cover of today's comics... For a moment, Yuan Yuanyuan had a feeling of "the end of fate" as described in the comics.
…Okay, that’s actually a bit childish.
Yuan Yuanyuan touched her forehead and realized that she had been sweating all over it without knowing when.
Even though she knew that cartoonists basically all used this routine, and that even those adapted from real three-dimensional events were probably no exception... Yuan Yuanyuan still felt confused at this moment.
In fact, Yuan Yuanyuan has always had an ostrich mentality, always thinking... Ah, it was not mentioned this time, which was really great, and it was not mentioned next time, which was really great. When the real thing came, she felt that her mentality was a little exploded.
She walked outside, brought in some snacks, and prepared to eat while watching.
While Yuan Yuanyuan was eating, other readers were not as sensitive as her. They opened the comic and continued reading from the part that Yuan Yuanyuan had just read.
In the blood-red sky, an indelible khaki hue emerged, which was the inherent color of the sky here.
People who live here don’t know why the sky is always this yellow, as if it is not very clean. However, it doesn’t rain very often here, but even after a downpour, the sky has never been clear.
However, today, a bloody color emerged from the usual khaki color... This inexplicable bloody color made people cautious. Looking at the indescribable bloodiness, occasionally a crow flew by in the sky, revealing its red eyes.
"Fuck... This color is so unpleasant." Gao Ling looked at the comic and said the same thing as Yuan Yuanyuan. In fact, she was also thinking about how bloody it would be if it were placed in the three-dimensional world.
She thought about the abyss on the cover today, and somehow felt that this place might be related to the abyss. But such a large area of blood red... What on earth does it have to do with the abyss? Why would such a bloody picture be related to that guy
Gao Ling continued to read with an inexplicable curiosity. To be honest, she was quite interested in this Yuan, but Ji Qiu had never mentioned some specific things. So far, everyone only knew that this Yuan was called a traitor by the demon world and had been a spy disguised as a woman. Apart from that, nothing else was known.
The next scene suddenly made Gao Ling, who was completely unprepared, scream out, "Fuck!"
"Fuck!"
In another small alley, a man in a military coat also shouted.
After he finished shouting, he suddenly covered his mouth, looked around, and felt relieved when he saw that there was no one around. He should have gone back to hand over his shift, but at this moment, he really wanted to finish watching it.
The phone in his hand was filled with a picture of a person covered in blood, half lying quietly on the ground.
The blood-covered man was wearing a red robe, with long bangs hanging down, covering half of his face.
A faceless man was dragging him, and the man on the ground was stumbling. Blood was flowing from his body, and the blood was mixed with the pile of corpses and the color of his clothes.
Damn, this is going to be a big deal. Liu An looked at this scene and felt his scalp tingling.
He didn't know how to describe this feeling, but he didn't expect Ji Qiu to really draw it... Before this, he always thought that things related to the war that year might not appear in the comics, and he always watched it with this mentality.
Because after meeting Yuan, Liu An tried every possible way to find out about the war... but what he found was not very good.
He always thought that Ji Qiu would not be able to draw this, because drawing this would be like setting off a □□.
But now, he actually painted.
Really painted...
Liu An looked at the sky in the distance. The sky was so dark and gloomy that it looked like a piece of ink that could not be dispersed.
The face of the person being dragged in the picture is the face of "Ran Niang" that appeared earlier.
However, at this time, Ran Niang's makeup should have been a little smudged, and her hair was loose, so gradually some of her own outlines were revealed.
Liu An didn't know what tiny change had happened that made two people who originally looked completely unrelated become so similar in an instant.
No... maybe that's not the case, because this is just a person.
The man who was being dragged obviously didn't have the strength to get up. He was dragged forward by his hands, which were covered in blood.
"What's wrong? Where are you taking me?" he asked in a very unclear tone.
"The Tribunal." The man who was pulling him couldn't see his face, only the words he said could be seen.
"The Court of Inquisition?" The man being dragged whispered back what the previous person had said. He asked, "Why... do we have to go there?"
"Violation of military orders."
"I didn't violate military orders..." The man on the ground seemed to be unable to make a sound. He only said one sentence at the end, "All the monsters here died in the battle. I am the only one here."
The man who was dragging him stopped talking, and the man being dragged also stopped talking. The two of them walked through the sea of corpses and headed off into the distance.
Each of their corpses on the ground had a hole on it, either in the chest or in the head. Each blow was fatal and looked as if it was caused by one person.
The scene changed, and in a hall that looked very solemn and cold, countless people with unclear faces were sitting in the judgement seat, looking at the person tied to the chair in front of them.
The light above was so dazzling that it seemed so white that it could blind people's eyes.
The man sitting on the chair lowered his head quietly. The makeup on his face had been washed off and he was wearing pure white clothes. He looked like a patient restrained in a mental hospital.
"He violated the order to retreat and stayed in the Qining battle zone as a lieutenant general, which led to the death of all the demon soldiers in the team."
A solemn and dignified voice echoed in the house.
“Have you ever done that?”
"...Yes." A faint voice suddenly came from below.
There was a sudden slight commotion from the audience.
"You violated Article 18 of the thirty laws of the human-monster agreement, which prohibits wanton slaughter. Did you violate that?"
"… yes."
The white light above my head was so dazzling that it looked like a shadowless lamp.
The charges were listed one by one... The voices in the jury became louder and louder, but the voice of the man below became quieter and quieter. He lowered his head deeply and sounded like he was asleep.
When the person in the court said "the trial is over", the screen suddenly changed from a dazzling white to a deep black...
…
A man suddenly sat up from the bed. He looked at the dark night outside and was silent for a long time. The dim light outside shone on the side of his face, making his expressionless face look like a statue.
…
"Hey, don't add to the plot later. My sleep quality has been really bad recently. I'm exhausted like a grandson every day from the magic tricks. When did I get up in the middle of the night to pretend to meditate?" Yuan Yuanyuan was silent for a long time while looking at the comics, and suddenly said something that ruined the atmosphere.
She was reading the comic, with a bunch of messy bags scattered around. Unconsciously, she had already eaten up all the little stock in the store. Only now did she calm down to read the comic.
After watching the first part... her mind was already a mess, but the last plot was still full of flaws, which made her complain subconsciously.
Just as she was watching, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Yuan Yuanyuan shouted, "Come in!" and the man walked in.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he found it was stuck. When he turned around, he saw that an empty plastic bottle was stuck.
Walking towards the house, he found chicken bones, potato chip bags, crisp bread and frozen pear cores...
He walked all the way to the middle of the room, looked at the man sitting in the middle, and said, "Boss, why aren't you asleep yet... Who is this person who has been partying here all night?"
"No... I... I can't walk anymore, so I decided to sleep here. Can you help me get a blanket upstairs... Oh, by the way, there's a cake over there for you, but I think I've only eaten half of it... Sorry... I'll see if there's any for sale tomorrow..."
After the boss said this, he quickly hooked another chair over with his foot, put the two chairs together, leaned on them, and was about to fall asleep in a crooked position...
When Liu An walked up to it and took a look, he smelled a strong odor. He lowered his head and saw several bottles.
As he went upstairs to get the quilt, he asked without turning his head, "Boss, have you been drinking?"
