Yuan Yuanyuan entered the house and searched the house as usual to see if there was anyone hiding. After finding no one, she ran upstairs, opened the box that Tang Shi gave her, found a knife, and cut the box open.

There were a bunch of things in the box. After Yuan Yuanyuan opened it, she found that it was actually Tang Shi’s textbook...

Yuan Yuanyuan was shocked the moment she saw it.

My mom...what the hell? Why is this the first gift she received during the Chinese New Year?

She picked up the bunch of leaves with various patterns on them.

…

"I gave my textbooks to my boss." Tang Shi called Qiu Ling.

"Pfft...why did you give him the textbook?" Qiu Ling asked.

"Just to tease him... Do you think what I'm doing is similar to giving five-three gifts on birthdays?" Tang Shi asked.

"I don't think... the boss will be angry..." Qiu Ling said, "The boss likes reading."

"I don't know why he always reads my textbooks." Tang Shi said, "I think he may not have used this kind of textbook before, so he finds it strange."

…

Yuan Yuanyuan thought for a while, then realized that she always took Tang Shi's book to read before, and she probably saw it, so she gave these books to her this time. She was a little amused, in fact, most of the things on it were in her blood jade magic book, and she was just flipping through these things to see the signature of Yiqi at the back.

But now that Tang Shi had taken it, she just flipped through it. Although there was nothing else in it, she was quite interested in the introduction to the various monsters in the demon world.

This was a part of the magic book. It was the only piece of blood jade in the magic book and it was very rare, so Yuan Yuanyuan kept it. She turned to the end and, as expected, there was the familiar "17" mark on it.

Being able to write with Arabic numerals in that era, and as a monster... definitely one of the most advanced monsters. If he were a human, he might be one of the first talents to return from studying abroad.

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably emotional.

She sat on a chair and waited. To be honest, Jiang Taigong was confident when it came to fishing, but Yuan Yuanyuan was not.

To be precise, there were some before she came from home, but now it's the second day of the Chinese New Year and there's not a single person to be seen. All the bamboo she had was gradually cut down.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked up at the sky. The monsters were more lively today. Many little monsters came out with small lanterns in their hands.

Looking at the street, from a normal human perspective, it was simply a chaos of demons, and for some reason it felt a bit like a comic exhibition... Yuan Yuanyuan turned her head back, picked up the phone next to her, flipped through the dream comics on it, and prepared to see tonight's update.

She actually didn't have any expectations for tonight's update... The last issue had some shocking news, so naturally the following ones would be a little dull. She estimated that the next issue would be about something related to Fanning.

While waiting for the comics, Yuan Yuanyuan flipped through the comments section of the previous issue. There were all kinds of comments online. This was the moment to witness the diversity of human species.

For the last comic, most readers were wondering who had brought Yuan to the court and who had grabbed his hair. Yuan Yuanyuan thought that Yuan was probably tricked by someone he knew... and this person was probably his brother-in-law.

And the phrase "for loyalty"... Even Yuan Yuanyuan herself couldn't figure it out. For loyalty? Why did everyone say that? Did Yuan Yuanyuan really do something disloyal back then?

It doesn't seem like it... If Yiqi really did something to betray her, then she really doesn't know what to say. But he has done so much for the demon world, how could he betray? He betrayed the demons?

There are many things that don't make sense here, and there is a sense of weirdness everywhere. Although Yuan Yuanyuan feels that her logic is not very good, she still knows some basic common sense.

For example, she knew that if a person really gave everything for a group with all his heart and soul...there was no reason for him to betray, right?

Yuan Yuanyuan thought this was very confusing... or maybe she was confused. The audience in the comment area had another opinion. They thought the truth of what happened back then was this - Yuan might have done something to betray the monster, and he was caught.

A small number of readers think that Yuan is likely to be whitewashed, so this "betrayal" is likely to be a misunderstanding, but Yuan Yuanyuan herself knows that it is not...

One big monster said so, two big monsters said so, and even many old monsters said so... This is not a real fictional comic. To some extent, this is reality. How could everyone unanimously call someone a traitor?

The comments section fully proves two points. The first point is that there is an information asymmetry between monsters and humans. At least everyone is discussing the traitor Yuan, and no one knows about the glorious past of "Yi Qi". The second point is that there are really few monsters who go online.

[Do you think that this monster Yuan... could be a humanoid? ]

[Of course. His attitude in the previous issues shows that he is friendly to humans.]

[Hmm... How should I put it? He is indeed a very free-spirited person. It is very brave to be close to humans during wartime, but I like him very much.]

[I feel like he's unwilling to leave... He seems to have the same attitude now. He's so lazy when dealing with other monsters. If nothing happened to him during the war, he would probably be even more powerful now.]

[The victorious king defeats the bandits, this has been the case since ancient times. There is nothing to say if the betrayal is discovered. However, I still like his bitchy personality. He is still a playboy after being discovered... Most people are not so careless. ]

[You know he's a bitch and you still like him. I think you're a bitch too.]

[Hey, can the person above you speak more cleanly? Did I provoke you? ]

Yuan Yuanyuan found that Yuan's character was inexplicably prone to quarrels, and she didn't know why. Anyway, there were many quarrels in the comment section because of Yuan.

Speaking of which, among all the two-dimensional characters that Yuan Yuanyuan has seen, Yuan is one that is quite easy to cause quarrels. Some two-dimensional characters are born with this condition, which is largely related to the character's values ​​and experiences.

Yuan Yuanyuan had quarreled with others because of this kind of situation before... Such characters are usually quite magical in the two-dimensional world, and can be called the king of war. She didn't expect that the character [Yuan] would become such a being now. How should I put it... Her feelings are quite complicated.

But she didn't look at it for long before the update was released. She put down what she was doing and went to look at the comics.

The comic book cover finally returned to normal this issue, with a picture of Fanning. Today his picture has evolved again... based on the gray-clothed, sleazy handsome boy in the previous issue, there is something else.

That is a demon mark.

Huh?! What happened? Yuan Yuanyuan was shocked, thinking that she had missed something. She quickly turned the page to take a look, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that the monster pattern was painted on. Fanning felt that he was a little strange among all the monsters, so he painted one on himself.

This operation was exactly the same as what she did back then. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why she remembered the time when she had painted her face with clown paint.

Before painting, Fanning recalled the monster patterns he had seen so far. Although he was a rookie at Sanqing Temple, a rookie was just a newbie. The monsters he had seen in the first twenty years were not even as many as those he had seen in the past two months. So he hesitated for a while before painting and started to paint a monster according to his memory.

Yuan Yuanyuan watched him draw two small crescent moons, then added some messy things on them. As he was drawing, she covered her face...

This thing... is really the "mark in memory". Isn't that her mark?

After finishing the drawing of Fanning in the comic, he added a few more strokes, looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, blurted out "Why so effeminate", and left.

Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly heard a huge firework being set off outside, which seemed to be endless. She turned around and saw that the firework was blue this time. She wondered which big monster's firework it was.

She looked up and saw another convoy passing by the window.

Yuan Yuanyuan involuntarily opened the window and walked out. The moment she went out, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

With the corner of her eye, she seemed to catch a glimpse of some black shadows at the edge of the fireworks.

Yuan Yuanyuan's mind was slightly confused.

Oh shit, is anyone there?

She quickly used the chessboard technique to explore the surroundings, but to her surprise, she could not find any signs of life.

No...something is not right...

Yuan Yuanyuan investigated again and felt that it was getting weirder and weirder, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

That's not right... She clearly saw a moving shadow just now. With her eyesight, she couldn't be wrong.

Could it be that she saw it wrongly? Yuan Yuanyuan thought. She leaned her head out of the window and pretended to touch a fake leaf outside that was created by magic.

In that instant...she suddenly heard a "bang bang" sound in front of her.

...The scene was so dramatic that Yuan Yuanyuan watched helplessly as the "dark sky" in front of her suddenly turned black and everyone stepped back.

Honestly speaking, Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned by this outrageous move.

Yuan Yuanyuan watched the "black sky" background in front of her suddenly recede, revealing the starry sky behind it.

She thought, what the hell, I was just wondering why it was so dark today and I thought it was a cloudy day... Holy shit it’s actually sunny today?

Damn, there is a moon over there!

Damn, there are stars over there!

It was at that moment that she suddenly remembered the time when she saw Liu An sitting under the tree... It was at that moment that she realized that someone might have surrounded the area with an illusion.

Shit... She just said that half-baked chess trick was unreliable.

Yuan Yuanyuan was frantically doing something in her heart that was commonly known as hindsight... She used the chessboard technique to explore the surroundings, feeling the parts that the silk illusion might reach, to guess how many monsters had come.

Then she looked around...and it was all black.

Speaking of which, you accidentally exposed yourself in the dark just now... Are you still hiding now?

This... could it be that there is some meaning to this that she doesn't know?

Yuan Yuanyuan's hand trembled, and she pulled down a whole branch. She looked at the green and tender branch in her hand, silently felt sorry for her tree, and then retreated back into the house.

There was a sentence that Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know whether she should say it or not... Then she thought about it and decided that swearing was not good behavior, so she didn't say it.

But what should I do now? How about… how about I play a few rounds of Landlord to put pressure on others?

Facts have proven that when people in the 21st century encounter something scary, their way of dealing with the stress is to play with their cell phones.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that if there weren't a group of people watching her outside, she would definitely be playing with her phone... But with so many people watching her outside, she felt it would be a bit shameless to take out her phone to play with it, as if she was calling on others to fuck her.

Then what should I do?

Yuan Yuanyuan unconsciously fiddled with the branch in her hand, twisting it into a ring.

By the time she came to her senses, the branch in her hand had been twisted into a small wreath.

This was the only thing she knew how to weave with twigs.

The branches created by the magic were particularly beautiful. The magic had not yet dissipated, and the woven headband was particularly beautiful. There were also various small tender teeth on it.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at it for a long time and silently put the ring on her head.

The "dark sky" outside was agitated for a second, but then it returned to calm.
