Before she finished reading the comic, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly heard a knock on her door.

As soon as she opened the door, she found Xiaoying outside. She was holding a big bag of snacks in her hand and standing at the door looking at Yuan Yuanyuan.

"I saw the lights in your house were on, so I guessed you were back." Xiaoying said, "Let me in."

Yuan Yuanyuan made way for her and watched Xiaoying quickly come in and land on the sofa.

"What are you doing here?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked.

"My mother took my phone away. I want to finish watching Monster Chronicles before going to bed, otherwise I won't be able to sleep," said Xiaoying.

"...Then don't watch it." Yuan Yuanyuan was a little speechless, but she still threw the phone to her, "Hurry up and watch it. Finish it in half an hour, and then go back to sleep."

She turned around and went to the bathroom, picked up a rag, and wiped the dust in the house. She had to go to work again tomorrow, and now she went home less and less often.

"Sister Yuanyuan." Xiaoying's voice suddenly rang out in the room, "Monster...what is your daily life like?"

In the dim little room, her voice was so soft that it sounded like she was talking in a dream.

Yuan Yuanyuan was wiping the windowsill, saying as she did so: "The life of a monster? Well... the life of a monster is actually not much different from that of a human. They just get up in the morning, work hard for a meal, and go back to sleep at night. You can tell by how sad I am... there aren't so many things that destroy the world. I don't think they can even beat a ninja. The three-dimensional world has nothing to do with the two-dimensional world."

"Are there any monsters like the ones in Natsume?" Xiaoying half-lay on the sofa, "Then there are those very warm monsters, and they look very beautiful, like tree monsters or elves, fairy-like and beautiful..."

"There must be monsters like that." Yuan Yuanyuan said, "There are many beautiful monsters, and there are also many handsome monsters. If they are good at transforming, then it would be beautiful... But monsters like that have nothing to do with little monsters like me."

"..." Xiaoying turned around and looked at Yuan Yuanyuan, "Sister Yuanyuan, are you monsters born with all those magic skills? The kind in the comics... the ones that can set fires and spread rumors?"

"Setting the fire and setting the alarm?" Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why, but she suddenly wanted to laugh. She threw the rag aside, sat back on the sofa and asked, "What do you want to ask? Tell me."

The room suddenly became quiet again and Xiaoying closed her mouth again.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Xiaoying. She could tell that Xiaoying must have something on her mind, otherwise she wouldn't be so hesitant.

"I just..." After a long while, Xiaoying sat up on the sofa, "I think the monsters in the monster book are so handsome... like powerful monsters, that Yu Wu, that Yuan, that little brother in white, and the latest one in a red sweater, it seems like they can destroy the world with just a wave of their hands, I'm a little... jealous."

"Why... are you jealous of this?" Yuan Yuanyuan was silent for a full minute before finally saying this.

"Just... do you think I'm handsome?" Xiaoying suddenly didn't want to say anything more. She pushed Yuan Yuanyuan out and said, "Go clean the cupboard quickly and leave me alone."

Yuan Yuanyuan sat on the sofa in a daze for about two minutes before she answered in a daze, "Oh." Then she turned around and went back to cleaning the cupboard.

She wiped the cabinet for a while and heard no sound behind her. She turned around and saw that Xiaoying had fallen asleep.

Xiaoying's breathing became a little heavier at some point. Yuan Yuanyuan looked back for a while, took a blanket and covered her, then quietly turned off the lights and picked up her cell phone.

The comics below the Monster Records talk about some things related to monster customs. Every monster will "pay tribute" to the big monsters during the Chinese New Year. This tribute is not mandatory, but most monsters will prepare such a gift. Every year, the big monsters will receive many "gifts" at this time, and some big monsters will even compete in this.

In fact, not only the big monsters will compete, but even the small monsters will talk about it behind their backs. These are like topics of conversation that can be talked about for several days.

Which big monster received the most, what he received this year, and which monster did not receive anything this year, these are all good bargaining chips.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the contents of the comic. It showed many examples of offerings received by monsters this year. Yuan Yuanyuan glanced through it quickly, but one of them caught her attention. It was about the offerings received by City C this year.

There were many offerings in City C this year, and they were all sent to different big monsters. Yuan Yuanyuan saw a lot of good things. They were piled up in various places, some in luxurious cabinets, some in quiet bamboo huts, and some piled in huge squares.

These offerings are all drawn in the comics, with some blurring, but not much.

At the very least, Yuan Yuanyuan could tell at a glance that the first one piled in the luxury cabinet belonged to her boss... That kind of cabinet with a nouveau riche style was really very recognizable.

The New Year scene in the painting looked really lively, and Ji Qiu's introduction was quite detailed. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many things written about the New Year of monsters, she wouldn't know much about them.

In recent years, she has always been confused about every Spring Festival, because she is not well-equipped to celebrate the Spring Festival of humans, and she is not very good at celebrating the Spring Festival of monsters. In previous years, she saw those monsters preparing something during the New Year, but she never understood what it was.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the things in the comics and had an idea for the first time - should she learn to prepare like the monsters?

But who could she give it to? It seemed like she didn't have any monsters she wanted to give it to.

Yuan Yuanyuan continued reading, and what happened next was all related to Fanning. A new girl appeared in this issue. She was very beautiful and had an exceptional temperament.

Despite this, Yuan Yuanyuan's eyebrows wrinkled when he saw this girl for the first time.

She didn’t know why, but this girl’s facial features always gave her a particularly familiar feeling…but she just couldn’t remember where she was. The two new characters that appeared in the comics recently gave her the same feeling.

This feeling of wanting to remember something but being unable to do so... is so painful that it is hard to describe.

Oh my god! Is there something wrong with my brain? I don’t have money to see a doctor at the end of the year!

Yuan Yuanyuan tapped her head, put the phone aside and went to sleep. At the same time, Liu An, who was far away on the other side of City C, looked at his phone, sighed, and scratched his head with a headache.

He felt even worse when he read the comments under the comics, such as "Ahhh! What a pretty girl! Get her now!"

What the hell are you doing? You just want to collect a girl when you see her... You think the girl is an SSR and he is Qingming.

Today's readers... Liu An really doesn't understand sometimes. Not to mention comics, even in novels, if there's a peerless martial arts skill, you'd shout "Collect, collect, collect"; if there's a girl, you'd shout "Collect, collect, collect". It's just like playing some stamp collecting game.

Liu An now has a headache whenever he thinks of that girl. It’s not that he doesn’t like pretty girls, but the girl that day was really a headache.

That day he was dealing with a corpse, and before he could send it to the "incinerator", he was suddenly caught up by a girl.

The girl was wearing a white dress, no shoes, and her feet were bleeding. She ran over in a hurry. At first, Liu An was quite polite to her, until the girl saw Liu An sewing up a corpse on the ground with a needle. Suddenly, she went crazy and rushed to grab him, crying and cursing at him...

Liu An was a little confused by the girl's move. He was holding a big needle in his hand and watched the girl snatch the corpse from his hand. Suddenly, he shivered.

Big sister, don't you need to sew up your wound? There's blood all over the floor. And don't shake it like that, or your brains will pop out.

After the girl finished crying, she said a lot of things to the corpse.

Liu An just sat aside and listened quietly.

From what she said...the guy on the ground is her ex-boyfriend, and they eloped together.

Oh...a gender-reversed version of Legend of White Snake, but still a BE version of Legend of White Snake.

To be honest, a monster dared to fall in love with a human being, and even dared to elope, and now even dared to cry while holding his corpse. It showed that it was true love. Liu An really admired him.

But he didn't know why... He just felt something strange...

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked down at the three shallow bloodstains on the back of his hand.

That was when he was accidentally scratched by the girl's nails during the fight for the body. The specific process was that he was unwilling to hand over the body at first, and the girl whimpered and grabbed him with her claws...

Ji Qiu, you are biased. You didn't draw this. Also, you didn't seem to draw those words that girl said that made people feel cold behind their backs. You only drew her running over and crying tenderly while holding the corpse. You didn't explain their relationship. The readers thought it was a girl crying because her good friend passed away...

Of course readers will be excited if you draw like this! Isn’t this little white flower hanging there for no reason?

Liu An closed his phone in a depressed mood. Even though today's comics didn't contain anything that made him happy, he still learned something.

For example, this strange custom... Liu An had heard about it from the old Taoist priest before, but he only thought it was a small-scale custom. However, today, he realized that it was actually a very important thing, even as important as the Chinese New Year for humans.

Should I... adapt to the local customs? Liu An suddenly thought, what if people think I'm too weird?

He looked at the man with three scars sleeping soundly beside him and began to think, then... who should I give it to?

…

Yuan Yuanyuan casually flipped through the comics on the website and actually found quite a few fan works of Yao Ji.

She flipped through the pages and found that there were quite a few fan fictions, including romance, BL, and even some yuri...

Before we knew it, the fan community of Yao Ji has grown so large. After all, this comic is suitable for both homosexuality and YY.

These people have such wild imaginations that after Yuan Yuanyuan saw the unpopular cult couple of Hongxiu and Ran Niang, she felt that she had nothing to fear. She even thought that the boss's drawing was pretty beautiful...

Calm down, calm down. Yuan Yuanyuan patted her head and said, "Calm down! Don't go astray!"

It's the end of the year and you don't have money to see a doctor!

After flipping through the pages for a while, she suddenly saw a fan comic with a very fresh style. She was attracted by it, not only because the style was quite close to the original, but also because its subject matter was very interesting.

This comic tells the story of an ordinary human being who travels through time and space to become the body of the character "Yuan". The name of the comic is "When I Became Yuan".

When Yuan Yuanyuan saw this, she clicked on it and read a few issues.

The first few issues were all very normal, just describing the various emotional fluctuations after traveling through time and space to Cheng Yuan. This artist is very talented, she discovered many hidden threads in the comics. At least in her comics, she drew out the possible hidden story behind the character Yuan.

Huh? Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the painter's name.

Gao Ling is a female painter.

Very sensitive.

Then I looked at the following developments and found that Gao Ling drew a lot of small things about Yu Yuan in his past.

Gao Ling drew many kinds of speculations. For example, she "expanded" the part where Yuan was on trial. In her painting, she vaguely revealed the feeling that Yuan might have been wronged. Yuan Yuanyuan was shocked when she saw it.

How should I put it... this person is extraordinary. The way she draws him is equivalent to drawing Itachi as a tragic figure before he was redeemed... It's simply a god's prediction. It's a fan comic that people can take out and worship him many years later.

However, Yuan Yuanyuan still felt a little uncomfortable reading it for two reasons. First, this comic... inexplicably portrayed Yuan as being very tragic, so tragic that it seemed as if the whole world had betrayed him.

He is very tragic... However, this comic is drawn from Yuan's first-person perspective, so it is equivalent to seeing all those tragic feelings from Yuan's perspective.

How should I put it... Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why, but she couldn't stand it. Another reason why she couldn't stand it was that the character Yuan was drawn too big.

After the protagonist traveled through time and became Yuan, he could destroy the sky and the earth with a wave of his hand. That grand scene... was simply like a naked mockery of Yuan Yuanyuan, who was reciting the Demonic Secret Book every day and ascending to heaven on the spot.

But most time-travel works are done this way... If they don't do it this way, the plot won't go on, so it might be more fun this way.

Just think about it... traveling through time and space to another person's body, pretending to be a big shot without any effort, how cool it would be.

Just like what Xiaoying asked her this morning - are the abilities of monsters innate? When she asked this question, the look in her eyes was really envious.

She wanted to have that ability.

…

【I looked at the people across from me, and there was a hint of red in their eyes.】

[Stripe after strand of blood flowed from my body, gathering into a small pool of blood, and a strand of hair stuck to my head.]

【I heard them whispering.】

[They want to execute me, I know.]

[At that moment, it seemed as if all the voices around me disappeared, and only I and this chair were left in the world.]

…

Yuan Yuanyuan shuddered for no apparent reason.

This is the description of Yuan in the fan comic before he turned evil. The artist's setting was that Yuan turned evil after being judged.

...and then he traveled through time.

…and then he started to talk nonsense.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the plot in the comics: today Yuan killed someone, tomorrow he wiped out a family, and the day after tomorrow he killed someone.

She spent a long time reading the comics about Yuan, who seemed to be running around the world destroying families every day, and she couldn't help but start to wonder what she was doing in her daily life.

Monday, go to work, practice.

Tuesday, work, practice.

Wednesday, work, practice.

…

On weekends, I catch up on sleep, read comics, and practice martial arts.

For a moment, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly felt a sense of guilt...

Oh my god, I'm so sorry for being so salty and failing to live up to everyone's expectations.

But... to be honest, isn't this how everyone in this world lives? Even if it's [Yuan]... is he any different?

Yuan Yuanyuan shook her head and went to memorize her notes, but she didn't pay attention to the fact that the comic book was the fan comic with the fastest increasing number of collections.

…

Some things are really ridiculous.

But everyone likes it this way, and everyone thinks that the truth is like this, right?

Cool, cool, cool. Everyone likes tragedy and everyone likes heroes.

Everyone likes to put someone on a deity... and especially likes to guess about his psychology and how he actually lives, just like Korei guessed in the comics how desperate Yuan was, and drew him flying around every day to kill his enemies.

Yuan Yuanyuan is sometimes like this too, but she herself is not aware of it.

And when everyone thinks something is like this...regardless of the mood of the person involved, the thing itself is very interesting.
