Chapter 15
[Aa ...
[The Thai pants are so cool! I give this scene a five-star rating! ! ]
[When I first met my wife in the ruins, I felt that she was very strong! My feeling was indeed correct!]
This scene is rendered with delicate brushstrokes, with strong contrasts popping out of the paper.
The current mainstream comic style still has a sense of subtlety. Even if there are powerful characters in the comics, they will not be drawn so directly, but will be hinted at through the characters' words.
In the context of the spiritual power that can be mobilized being suppressed to almost nothing after entering the inner world, a seemingly weak green vine is used to subdue a strong beast. The contrast between strength and weakness is reversed, which naturally gives people a strong sensory stimulation.
The comic book author knows what's cool.
There was a rustling sound outside the window, Yu Tu wanted to look back, but he thought it was too hot today, so he opened the window at night to keep cool. Because he was particularly popular with birds, there were often birds staying on his windowsill at night, and they didn't disturb him, they just entertained themselves on his windowsill and left after a while.
Probably thinking it was another little bird coming over to play, Yu Tu saw that there were still ten or so pages left in the comic, so he didn’t pay much attention and turned to the next page.
After the horizontal page, the perspective of the comic turns back to Gu Hongying. At this time, through the glass on the side of Gu Hongying, you can see heavy rain covering the sky. The rain is pouring down, and the scenery outside the window has turned into blurred blocks of color.
Sanqing was so annoyed by Gu Hongying's "hundred thousand whys" that his hair stood on end, and the whole bird looked like a fluffy ball that had been electrocuted.
Gu Hongying was completely unaware and continued to "harass" her with his inner voice.
"Sanqing, are you there?"
"Are you there, Sanqing?"
"Sanqing, Sanqing, can you hear me? Why are you silent?"
"I know you can hear me!"
"Sanqing, Sanqing, Sanqing—"
The three-green bird with fluffy feathers showed a kind of numb pain that was more obvious than that of a human.
Gu Hongying didn't get an answer for a long time, so he stretched out his finger and tried to poke Sanqing's little wings. Sanqing grabbed Gu Hongying's hair with his claws and moved it to the side, his disgust was beyond words.
[Haha ...! I am dying of laughter!]
[Sanqing: What bad luck! I shouldn’t have taught you the telepathic function earlier!]
[It’s too bad to be nagging at this chatterbox for hours!]
[I don’t know if the rain is a problem, but I feel like Sanqing is going to have a problem soon~]
Amid the cheerful comments, Sanqing was overwhelmed by Gu Hongying's persistence. It closed its eyes, and the red curved feathers on its head trembled rhythmically. Bits of white light emanated from its body, passing through the seats, the glass, the rain curtain... and into the invisible air.
As the white spots of light spread, the originally noisy Sanqing suddenly became stiff. In the comic, its background turned into a light gray, as if it was about to rain.
Gu Hongying discovered something was wrong. He gently took Sanqing off his head and held it in his palm. The little fluffy ball that was so lively just now was trembling slightly in his palm, as if it had encountered some unbearable pain.
Its inner voice slowly emerged with the flat bubbles—
[The last phoenix in the inner world...left.]
As if to respond to its words, the comic's perspective turns to the outside of the window. The pouring rain gets heavier, as if heaven and earth are mourning together.
The comic's perspective rises higher and higher, gradually moving away from the car, and a blurry green slowly appears in the rain. The camera moves closer and closer, crashing into a locust tree forest.
The gloomy sky, the heavy rain, and the dense locust tree forest, these three elements should have formed an extremely depressing picture, but in the comics, the locust tree forest under the rainstorm is so quiet that the mansion hidden in the forest has a somewhat inexplicable mysterious atmosphere.
The comic is frozen on the back of a beautiful woman in a white dress. The figure is extremely slim, with long black hair draped over her shoulders. Her slender white neck is faintly visible as she walks. One can tell at first glance that she is an extremely beautiful woman.
[Huh? New character?]
The comments jumped to the next page with great interest, and the comics simply and crudely gave the readers a shock—
The back of this new character overlaps with an illusory white snake, whose body stretches for more than ten meters in the locust tree forest, making the back of the character seem as tiny as a grain of rice. It is obvious that she is not a human, but a giant snake demon.
The snake demon knocked on the door of the mansion in the center of Huailin, and pushed the door open with a shout of "Come in". The illusory snake body stretched far out from the carved doorway, looking incredibly terrifying.
After the snake demon entered the mansion, the heavy rain suddenly turned into a drizzle, slightly wetting the white stone floor.
[The rain has subsided?]
[Interesting!]
In front of her, a mist came from nowhere and filled her vision. A bridge could be vaguely seen in the mist, with intricate patterns carved on the wood, but it was too blurry.
The snake demon hesitated for a while, but still moved forward, and then... In the comic, blue and white were mixed together, and the sky was full of ice and snow. It was obvious that he was just walking on a bridge in the mist, but it seemed as if he had walked into a strange space of ice and snow.
[What is going on?]
[Where is this? It looks dangerous!]
Ice and snow filled the entire picture. The bridge beneath your feet seemed to have no end. The newly appeared characters were shivering with cold, and their eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair ends were all covered with a thin layer of frost.
In the comic, she kept walking forward in the vast white wilderness. She walked very far before finally reaching the end.
The moment she took the last step, the thin layer of frost on her body disappeared in an instant, and the ice and snow disappeared without a trace. She looked back, but there was no vast white wilderness, only a short bridge.
It’s only a few steps to the other side of the bridge, but it feels like a nightmare that I can hardly wake up from.
[Is the bridge... so short?]
[Was this just an illusion?]
“Too slow.”
The new character sitting on the ground heard the sound.
"The younger generation of the Snake Clan is really getting worse and worse."
She looked at the person who was speaking, perhaps because she was looking up at him, the comic made this scene look particularly beautiful—
Several sets of randomly placed antique wooden tables and chairs are scattered around this space. Behind the tables and chairs is a giant tree that is almost towering, with lush branches and leaves that almost cover the sky and the earth. Not a drop of rain can fall here.
Under these branches, there is a person sitting casually holding an ancient book, turning the pages slowly and leisurely. The comic deliberately blurs his features, only highlighting his temperament, as if he is walking slowly out of ancient time.
[Even though her face is blurry, I know it’s my wife!!!]
[My wife's identity is becoming more and more mysterious!]
[What book is my wife reading? Is it our love story? Let me read it too!!]
As the comic readers waited in anticipation, the secretary turned his head. He had a very handsome face, gentle eyes, and a slight smile, but he had a distant and unoffensive temperament.
The snake demon, who was so arrogant before knocking on the door, was now as obedient as a primary school student facing the dean, causing the comic readers to laugh.
From the few words that the snake demon said to him, it seemed that everything was indicating that this seemingly mysterious boss was even more unfathomable than they had imagined.
Just as readers were happily enjoying the pain of the snake demon Bai Shuang being checked for her "homework", the perspective of the comic shifted again and returned to Gu Hongying.
Gu Hongying was trying to comfort Sanqing, who looked extremely sad. He said, "Birth, aging, sickness and death, the separation of yin and yang, are all inevitable things."
"I know." The red feathers on Sanqing's head drooped down, "But... I'm still sad."
The screen fell into darkness at this moment, and then a tiny light appeared in the darkness—
It is a beautifully carved bronze lamp.
The lamp holder is a phoenix spreading its wings as if ready to fly, with a faint flame lighting up the phoenix's heart.
The flame lit up for a few breaths, then quickly dimmed and went out, and a thin layer of dust covered the lamp again.
In the darkness, someone stretched out his hand, but just as it was about to touch me, it slowly dropped.
He stared at the dusty bronze phoenix lamp for a long time, then took off his glasses, but... his eyes were slightly red.
At this point, the third episode officially ends.
Yu Tu stared at the bronze phoenix lamp that was still exquisite despite being covered in dust. He guessed that this lamp, which allowed him to deepen his connection with the teahouse, might be more important than he thought, otherwise there would be no need to put it at the end of the comic and draw it specifically.
When I withdrew my attention from the comic book, some unusual movements became more obvious. The rustling sound by the window was really too loud.
Yu Tu put down the tablet and planned to see what was going on. He turned around without any preparation—
A corpse wearing a bright red groom's suit and with a pale face was holding on to the window frame with both hands, and half of the body had already fallen into the window! They were only one or two meters apart, and Yu Tu could clearly see his two bursting eyeballs, his rotten face, and under his face there were insect-like things crawling, with mottled cracks bulging out!
When the corpse saw him turning around, the malice in his body almost doubled, and he opened his mouth and made a strange "ho ho" sound. His fangs grew longer and a foul stench came towards his face!
When people are extremely frightened, they don't react quickly, but their brains go blank.
Seeing that the corpse was about to flip in, Yu Tu finally regained consciousness. He jumped off the bed almost without thinking, picked up the stool at the end of the bed, and smashed it hard on the corpse's face!
The corpse, which was holding on to the windowsill with both hands, was smashed down like a nail by Yu Tu's sudden outburst, but the body above the shoulders was still outside the window. Yu Tu could only see the round bottle called "fine black dog blood" by the online store on the table not far away. He ran over in two steps, used the thumb of his empty hand to break open the cork, then aimed the opened mouth of the black dog blood bottle at the corpse's wide-open mouth, and quickly stuffed the bottle in, getting it stuck between the fangs!
Fearing the end of the crime, Yu Tu screamed "Ahhhhhhh" and continued to pick up the stool, smashing the bottle that looked a bit like a light bulb into the corpse's mouth. A trickle of black blood slowly flowed from the corner of the corpse's mouth, and the stench emitted a unique smell of inferior technology and ruthless life.
“Ahhhhhhh ghost————Ahhhhhh get out————Ahhhhhhh help————”
While screaming, Yu Tu smashed the corpse's head and the pair of pale hands clinging to the windowsill with a stool.
With the rhythm of "clang, bang, bang", one man and one corpse fought until dawn.
