Suppression
[The fifth episode of the work you are following, "The Incomplete One", has been released! ]
"Nian Nian, come here quickly, the comic you recommended has been updated!"
My friend who lives with me called out from the sofa.
Chong Yu put down the scissors, carefully checked the white wig in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and said as he finished his work: "Here it comes!"
She is a freelancer who has no pressure in life and has a lot of time to develop her hobbies. Over the years, she has gained some fame on the Internet. The name of her COSER account is "祟祟念", which is a joke about her surname being often misread.
Since last week, Chongyu has a new wall, which is Sumei, a new character in the manga "The Incomplete".
Although he only appeared in one chapter and the plot was thin, the painting style was really beautiful and the character design was to his taste. After Chongyu accidentally saw the screenshot, he immediately became a reader who followed the comics. He added him to his favorite list without hesitation and saved his favorite frame as his new avatar.
The friend in thick plush pajamas squeezed on the sofa with Chongyu and clicked on the update.
The cover page of the fifth chapter of the comic is different from the previous ones in style. It is not the background of the comic world view, but is obviously set in modern times.
The street was brightly lit by sunlight. Through a retro-style coffee shop window, Xiaoman, wearing a gray-blue three-quarter-sleeved jacket with a wolf-ear-shaped hood, sat on the left side of the window. She looked out the window at a cicada perched on a lamppost, her blue eyes like a piece of falling sky.
Next to the girl was a cup of coffee with a fox pattern on it. Under the table, her slender legs were outlined by cool Martin boots and overalls. She wore a stylish black bracelet on her angular wrist and a few plain metal chain rings.
The woman opposite her was wearing a large white coat decorated with many zippers. The long cuffs covered the back of her hands. The zipper head at the center of her heart was a metal badge with a cartoon gray wolf pattern, and a white fluff ball hung under the collar on the other side.
Different from Xiaoman who was walking calmly, the boy was writing and drawing in his exercise book with his head down. His long snow-white hair was tied into a bun, and his bangs were slightly raised with a silver hairpin, revealing a small part of his forehead, making the corners of his golden eyes look even more graceful and beautiful.
The colorful books spread out or closed on the desk indicate that they are doing what their peers should be doing, doing homework or reviewing.
In the distant interior of the cafe, they could actually see a third person busy standing slightly to the side at the counter, but the artificially carved glass reflection on the title page cleverly almost completely blocked the person's appearance and even gender. All they could see was that he was wearing a common brown apron and had a fuzzy pink and purple hair hanging behind him. There was too little information, so it didn't attract much attention for the time being.
【The worry-free modern setting is great!!!】
[I really want to see Xiaoman living a peaceful and happy life.]
【Work and rest are good for little wolves; if you can't go out to play in good weather, your homework will be bad!】t
[The modern outfit is so handsome prprpr the wolf ear hood is so cute]
[A cute and smart little fox! I really like his coat, it is stylish and well-behaved, I want the same one]
"I'm fine, thank you Fanxing, draw more if you can!" Chongyu's friends repeatedly magnified the details and praised.
Chong Yu suppressed the urge to immediately search for a jacket of similar style, and instead took a screenshot and turned to the next page.
"alright."
The screen changed from a narrow black grid at the top to a bright one, and the first thing you saw was a pair of soft golden pupils.
Then, the first-person composition changes to a normal perspective. Su Mei half-knelt by the stream to wash off the remaining dust and herbal juice from her fingertips, while Xiao Man leaned forward and looked at his appearance in the water.
"Nothing ugly," she said.
"That's enough. It would be weird if it was too dirty." The boy smiled helplessly, "My skills are limited, so I can only prioritize making it look natural. If you were a better person, they would be able to paint you like a boy."
From the readers' point of view, Xiaoman's skin tone has only become slightly darker, and there are a few more smears of dust on her face, making her look a little dusty. However, she is not the kind of character who is glamorous to begin with. Disguised like this, she will only look more like a little fur ball covered in dust while trying hard to catch prey, and it will not destroy the readers' sympathy at all.
[What is this first-person perspective experience? I recommend makeup to me, and I feel happy]
[But in reality it is smearing dust on the face (farsightedness)]
[Other people's heroine: stunningly dressed up in front of the prince; little wolf cub: rubbed into tofu by the prince himself and fell into the ash pile. It is indeed an upright boy's manga...]
[What do you mean it's a shonen manga? The style is so good I thought it was a romance story [doge], even wiping the dust makes my heart flutter! ]
[The little fox is definitely better than the male protagonist in the romance comic, because he will definitely not misunderstand Xiaoman because of a mess! This is the invincible sense of trust between traditional boys' comic companions, which is especially good (delivered)]
[I will definitely not misunderstand +1. I will just slap the lousy prince who is good at exposing scars and humiliating others into the ground with one claw! ]
The barrage is full of joy, and as the characters move, the appearance of the Bronze City during the day is gradually revealed to the readers.
[The little fox's aura... is quite oppressive]
[The beautiful fox is also a carnivore (It is a carnivore) (Ah)]
[A-Flip! The gentle character is so sweet when he gets serious, I like this, I declare that I have entered the pit vertically now]
[It feels so oppressive not to take action, I look forward to seeing the combat power]
The main feature of Bronze City is the streets with railroad tracks everywhere and minecarts passing by all the time. After passing through such a prosperous area, the residential area seems much quieter and more ordinary.
Readers had expected the story to move toward the kidnapping incident that had been paved the way at the end of the previous episode, and were only pleased with some of the details.
[The feeding attribute is so cute. At this moment, I can actually see a hint of kindness in her beauty...]
[Pink Star understands the language of the camera. The street kids have snacks so the wolf cubs also have snacks. Xiaoman was silent but I laughed and couldn’t stop.]
[I want a room, I want a room! (Loudly)]
[Little Fox: Shocked]
[The atmosphere is very upright, the training camp with the characteristics of boys' comics, I am moved]
[The traditional trio is still missing a little energetic sun, right? If there is one, this part will be even more interesting. The little fox is dragging two people, hehe]
[What the little fox said is true. He is very young but he is very old.]
Friends watched Chongyu take screenshots one after another, the shutter sounds became one, and couldn't help but complain: "Why don't you just take screenshots of every page!"
"That's exactly what I meant!"
The two of them laughed and joked, and continued to turn the pages.
After Xiaoman and Sumei finally decided to move together, the comic scene then switched to another place, where another wrist was held.
In this frame of the same composition, the hand grabbing someone viciously is a man's hand with thick joints, broad and bulging lines on the palm and fingers, and scars on the back of the hand.
The captured wrist was not like the slender and well-proportioned wrist of the fox boy, but was thinner and more delicate. The fingers that were bent helplessly were so dry and shriveled that they looked a bit like chicken claws. The cracked nails at the ends due to heavy labor, the loose and wrinkled knuckles, and the dirt were all carefully portrayed one by one. The patched cuffs on the cuffs that were not long enough concisely conveyed to everyone the lowly status of the victim and the contrast between him and the bully.
Inside the dim and messy tavern, a drunk man laughed rudely, "How dare you not give me face? You are just a little girl from an abandoned tribe! You won't survive the night if you run away. Who can seek justice for you?"
[Ahhh, this is so disgusting. You are threatening people so blatantly. Is there really no one to care? ]
【Support Just Sanctions】
The woman he caught was obviously young, but her youth had been worn away by life, and even the hair on her small round ears was dull and sparse. She lowered her head in humiliation and pursed her lips, forcing a smile and apologizing, hoping that the man would let her go.
She was clearly working here, but everyone from the customers to the boss watched her go on with cold eyes, and no one came out to stop her. If she offended a customer, she would have her remaining salary deducted, or even lose her job.
The Abandoned are clearly just a tribe of beastmen abandoned by nature elves. They are also living individuals with their own joys and sorrows. The existence of the Abandoned will not cause any harm to the world. However, other so-called normal beastmen are always so keen on belittling and ostracizing their fellow Abandoned, as if they finally have the basis to prove that they are nobler than "someone" and have the opportunity to bully "someone" without being opposed by the group.
The completely unaffected intoxicated atmosphere around her seemed to be saying that she was an outcast and a weak person, so she deserved to be bullied and left alone.
The woman's mind had been numbed by similar experiences over the years, so she couldn't feel specific, intense anger towards anyone at this moment. She just looked around blindly and tearfully out of her desperate instinct to escape.
“Shh——”
Suddenly, her gray eyes were really lit up by a cluster of light.
A man covered in a cloak sat at the table, holding a long match he had just bought in his slender fingers. He gently extinguished it and watched the flame burn on the surface of the wine in the glass, illuminating a pair of golden eyes.
"It's a very strong wine," he said.
He stood up, holding the burning glass of wine, and walked towards Philer step by step.
The pair of golden eyes looked at him as if they were looking down at an ant that was destined to die, even colder than when he had just decided the woman's fate with mockery.
And Philer was like a prey stuck in a state of paralysis, unable to move, his hands and feet were cold and numb, and hopelessly out of control. He could only let the woman escape and watched in horror as this sudden man approached.
The man raised his wrist, stopped just before the flaming wine was about to spill onto Philer's hair and clothes, and slowly put it down.
"Excuse me, are you available to answer some questions now?"
The white sleeves asked politely. Except for the eyes without a smile, the curve of his mouth was almost the same as when he first asked the girl for help. The cup of dangerous fire in his hand was like a delicate flower held in front of the chest of the young man with a gentle smile.
“——”
Philer desperately rolled his eyes and tried to move his lips, but he could not make any sound due to the suppression of his blood. His head was filled with huge fear. In the invisible darkness, the man's pants quickly became wet, and he didn't know whether it was cold sweat or something else.
【Fuck!!!】
【I——】
[I knew that those who can survive in this worldview are two-faced! ! ! ]
[I like you more...more, what should I do?]
[Thinking of the part where the little fox appeared, I understood. The Abandoned Clan is definitely his first point of attack.]
[To friends, he is gentle and soft, praising them and stroking their fur. To scumbags, he is as cold as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. He is Asian but not Madame. 】
"——I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!" Under the instinct of survival, Feller was finally able to speak. He slid to the ground and knelt down, completely exhausted, screaming with a completely broken voice, "I'll tell you everything!"
"Tell me. Who is the top person in the business that you know of?"
"Yes, yes-Man-"
The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly widened, and his hateful face became ferocious. He twitched on the ground, his Adam's apple rolled rapidly, and his eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.
After a few seconds, he calmed down, and his skin quickly turned horribly pale. A snake-shaped black mark appeared on his face, and its position seemed like a real thread that completely "sewn" the man's mouth.
He is dead.
——Tsk. Cheating magic.
Yuan Qian deeply felt the limitations of physical combat characters in a world with magic, and decided that as long as he could afford it, he would give priority to the Mithril Blood branch next time, even if it meant losing everything he had.
On the surface, this clue about Philer ended there, but with this plot happening, even if no one comes to him later, there will definitely be related follow-ups in the comics. He just has to wait for the next emotional value to be credited to his account at 10 o'clock tomorrow, and then he can buy the comics directly after they are updated to get the next clue.
When Phile had just caught the outcast waiter and was full of dirty talk, he realized that it was time for him to improve his character. In fact, even if he didn't do it, Xiao Man would have stepped forward. She was not a reckless person, but at least she would not sit idly by and watch the desperate situation that forced the weak to fall deeper into the abyss.
"Okay, I heard you. May your soul rest in peace and return to the arms of the Father of Star Glory." The boy's voice was deliberately suppressed to be hoarse and low. Even though the information he should have obtained was interrupted by complications and he witnessed such a tragic situation, his tone was still calm and humble.
He leaned over and placed the glass of wine beside the dead man, then walked out of the tavern and into the night as if no one was around, passing among the frightened tavern owner and guests with the ease of a beast passing among a flock of shivering sheep.
[Comic forum detected, do you want to spend 100,000 sentiment points to unlock it?]
——After leaving the tavern, he saw this system prompt, and the mysterious man, whose hair color, fox ears and tail were covered by a hood, stumbled unnoticed. He had watched horror movies that challenged people's endurance, so he was able to remain calm in front of the dead just now, but he had never seen a system as calm and vicious as D-009.
Does it know that its own number is not as long as the price of unlocking the forum? Yuan Qian silently complained.
