After the store was attacked by unknown people that day, Yuan Yuanyuan went home and stayed there for two days. She stayed in the house all the time, and when she didn't transform, she just stayed in the house and read comics.

Originally, Yuan Yuanyuan had a lot of things to do every day, so even though she often slacked off, she rarely had the time to calm down and quietly finish reading a comic or a novel.

Today was the day. Yuan Yuanyuan was afraid of getting into trouble, and she didn't have to go to work on the weekend, so she could sit down peacefully and watch something casually, as if she was giving herself a holiday.

Yuan Yuanyuan got up in the morning, cooked some instant noodles, and went back to clean up her room. She was actually quite worried about one thing, which was how Liu An would behave today. Yesterday she gave him two hundred yuan, which was the only spare money she had saved this month. She originally wanted to buy some snacks or something, but she was afraid that he would have no place to live, so she gave it to him first.

With two hundred yuan, you can live in a rental house for five or six days.

Yuan Yuanyuan was a little upset. She thought about whether she should change her appearance and secretly go out to see how Liu An was doing. She always felt that she was not qualified to be a boss. However, she reminded herself several times in her heart, "Don't go out", and then she gradually calmed down.

And now Liu An, who was cared for by her, was sitting quietly alone in a small house, looking at the sky outside.

"Why did you come to see me?" Three Scars asked, "You have nowhere to go recently?"

"A little bit..." Liu An said, "What are you doing? What are you preparing?"

He pointed at a large box in Three Scars' hand. The box was polished from a stone and looked very smooth.

Although the monsters have transformed into human form, their living habits are still quite similar to those of the beast period. This can be seen from the fact that many monsters live in the wild and use stones and leaves to communicate.

It was obvious that a lot of thought had gone into the design of this box. After seeing it, Liu An became curious as to who on earth was worthy of San Dao Ba spending so much time on it, so he asked him who it was for.

"It's for the regional boss." Three Scars turned around and said, "The regional boss has taken good care of us this year. You may have just arrived, so you haven't seen our boss yet. But I'm sure if you had seen him, you wouldn't be unprepared for anything."

"...Ah?" Liu An looked at the three scars with a very puzzled expression on his face.

He was mainly puzzled as to why when Sandaoba talked about this boss, his face actually flushed like a young girl seeing her idol...

Liu An shook his head. He didn't expect that the girl with three scars could have such a girlish side.

He turned around to tidy up his bedding. Three Scars was still stuffing some things into a box, then sealing the opening. He took out a note and wrote his name on it in a proper manner.

The monsters in City C have been busy preparing for the New Year recently. Although they have no intention of going home to reunite with their families, there is one other rule that they have always followed.

Yuan Yuanyuan was eating instant noodles when she heard a buzzing sound from her phone, which made her feel upset. She picked up the phone and looked at the contents, and found that the buzzing sound was actually the voice of Fat Cat and Black and Red chatting.

They posted a lot of pictures in the group, and Yuan Yuanyuan sometimes didn't understand what they were talking about, so she often couldn't get a word in. But she still peeked at the screen, and maybe she could figure it out after a while.

This time, as usual, they were talking about issues that Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't understand. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't understand what they were talking about, but she saw several very beautiful pictures.

One picture is of a huge tree that looks like it was carved out of ice and snow. It was taken at night and looks like an elf tree in the darkness.

There was another photo that left a deep impression on her. It showed countless black smoke rising from the ground and then gathering in the sky. It was the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, but it was definitely the largest-scale Night Parade of a Hundred Demons that Yuan Yuanyuan had ever seen.

[Group leader: This is the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons organized by our family this year. The tree below is for the little monsters. ]

[Black and Red: Wow... I feel like kidnapping you after seeing this. Did you receive anything? ]

[Group leader: Yes, I can pretend after all. Are you underestimating my ability to pretend?]

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't look at what they talked about. It seemed that Fat Cat was just showing off his wealth. But no matter how he showed off his wealth, poor Yuan Yuanyuan didn't feel much, because the gap was too big, and she didn't feel anything at all. If you threw a hundred yuan in front of her, she might react more strongly than this.

She opened Mengman again, then yawned, waiting for today's comic to be updated.

The previous comic book issue depicted the story of the man in red and Fanning, and now she really wanted to see if the next issue would depict the gay love between the two.

However, as soon as the cover of this issue came out, Yuan Yuanyuan knew that there were no more gay scenes, because the cover character of this issue was Fanning alone.

However, in addition to Fanning, there is a vague background behind. That background is very beautiful. It is a very large field of monster heads. These monster heads are squeezed in a black smoke.

Huh? This black smoke is...

Yuan Yuanyuan recognized what the background was. It turned out to be the background of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.

Today's comic is quite interesting. It has a pure Taoist priest in the front and a huge picture of a hundred demons parading at night in the back.

What is this for...are you going to draw Faning fighting against hundreds of monsters?

But the plot is a bit inconsistent, isn't it a bit abrupt? Let's talk about Fanning, the rookie. Although she doesn't despise rookies, it's impossible for a monster to be so weak.

When Yuan Yuan Dot started the comic, the first thing that was drawn was not a picture of Fanning, but a very large bird's-eye view of the city.

Looking down from above, the bustling city is very quiet, yet exceptionally lively.

Comics are silent, but the whole city is brightly lit, with countless neon lights and colorful lights dotted across the city.

But beyond the lights, there are other creatures that adorn the city.

【Monsters. 】

[Although it is already the industrial age, the monsters still live according to their old-time lifestyle. They shuttle through high-rise buildings just like they shuttle through the forest.]

[The monsters are very resilient. Even in extremely harsh environments, they still maintain their own way of life.]

Yuan Yuanyuan paused when she saw the sentence "Monsters are very resilient". She was deeply touched by this, as monsters are really very resilient.

But she didn't dwell on it any longer and continued looking down.

[Countless points of light rose from the ground and flew into the sky. They were all monsters in this city. As the New Year was approaching, these monsters also began to prepare their own New Year plans.]

[Fanning watched the monsters coming and going. He had lived here for two months. This was the first time in his life that he lived so close to monsters.]

[During these two months, he witnessed many unique lifestyles of monsters. Although he had learned a lot from the monster hunters before, he could not truly understand what those seniors meant until he was in their situation himself.]

[He remembered that he had read this sentence in a book: Monsters all respect the strong, and their respect for the strong even reached an extreme state.]

[This kind of obedience to the strong is even imprinted in their bones and blood. ]

…

"Back then, our C City had big monsters that all living beings feared. It was because of those big monsters that our C City could survive." The old man said, "But now, those big monsters have almost all disappeared."

"It's not your fault. After all, it's a war." Lin Gutou said, "But do you really want to call Yuan out?"

"We kept him here because we anticipated this situation, didn't we?" The old man looked at Lin Gutou and said, "But at that time we were all worried about Xin Yuan's condition, so we didn't put too much thought on it."

"What about now? How can you be sure he will agree to it now?"

"City C is his home after all. It's where he was born and raised." The old man said, "If I go there now, he should understand what I mean."

"Do you have any relationship with him?" Lin Gutou said hesitantly.

"It's not a close relationship. I was his squad leader for four years when he first joined the army." The old man sighed, "But after the Blood Jade Demon Army recruited him away, we had no contact anymore."

"Hey, you two actually have such a relationship?" Lin Gutou suddenly became interested. He really didn't expect that the old man in front of him had been the team leader of that person in the past.

"The last time we met... no, it should be the last time I met Yiqi, it was in the courtroom." The old man said, "I didn't know what happened at that time, but before that, I thought he would become a great monster unprecedented in history."

"Was he...very powerful back then?" Lin Gutou asked, "How powerful was he?"

"Ha." The old man laughed in an unclear tone, "How powerful is he? You ask him how powerful he is?"

There seemed to be a hint of sigh in his voice.

"If we could go back to this time a hundred years ago... can you imagine what his doorway would have looked like?"

"Hmm... there are a lot of monsters?" Lin Gutou asked, "and all kinds of offerings?"

"A lot of monsters?" The old man's voice became strange again. "No, it's almost all monsters."

"All of them."

…

The room was quiet for a moment. For a moment, Lin Gutou was stunned, but he reacted quickly.

"Hmm..." His expression also became strange. "It sounds interesting... Those crazy people from the Southern Faction and the monsters from our C City can actually reach a consensus?"

His words obviously missed the point, but the old man didn't pay much attention to his words which were obviously just to change the subject. This is just Lin Gutou's personality, and it has been like this for a long time.

"There is no monster who has learned the art of sorcery and does not know him." The old man said softly, "Every battle of his will be recorded by the monsters with expensive jade plates, and then studied repeatedly."

"Well...but now almost every big monster will be treated like this, it's not surprising." Lin Gutou said.

"No, the concept is different." The old man said: "The monsters studied each of his magic, not because they wanted to observe how a magic was used. However, the jade plates recorded by the big monsters now can only teach us how to use a magic."

"They study witchcraft because they want to learn it," the old man repeated. "They don't learn how to use it, they just want to learn it."

"Ah? What's the difference?" Lin Gutou asked, "Isn't it all just... learning how to use it?"

"Of course there is a difference." The old man said, "Learning and using are different. Otherwise, where do you think the tricks you have learned now come from?"

…

[The monsters' worship of powerful forces has gradually become a strange characteristic.] Yuan Yuanyuan read slowly, [They are a group that is very easy to be instigated. Once a strong person appears, he will become the leader of this group.]

【In addition, there is a unique system where big monsters protect small monsters, so during the New Year, monsters will give gifts to the big monsters they admire the most. 】

Why are you being so euphemistic... Isn't it just a tribute in disguise? Yuan Yuanyuan complained.

Maybe it's because she's a half-demon, so she can't understand this mentality. She can understand offering tributes normally, but when they can make their own decisions, almost all monsters will offer tributes.

In her opinion, as a girl with a human mentality, some people help a lot in daily life, so it is fine to pay tribute to express gratitude. But some people are just like feudal slaves and slave owners, and slaves are actually required to pay tribute... I don't quite understand.

Yuan Yuanyuan complained but didn't take it seriously. She had never been interested in the study of monster society. However, in the kindergarten area far away, a little girl was led by her mother to a square.

"Tiantian, just put it there." said Mom.

"If I put it there, will the great demon senior be able to receive it?" asked the little girl.

"Sure." Mom said with a smile.

She actually didn't tell her daughter that even if she put it there, the big monster might not be able to receive it because he never shows up.

However, when offering tribute this year, many monsters spontaneously prepared a portion for this big monster. Since they couldn't find him, they placed them all in this conspicuous square.

The mother led the little girl back again. The moon was very round today.

Several boxes of different sizes were placed in the deserted square, reflecting a silvery light under the moonlight.
