Yuan Yuanyuan folded her arms around her shoulders and looked at Tang Shi in the distance.
The crowd was very crowded, with several male monsters crowding in front of Yuan Yuanyuan. It was just like visiting lantern fairs on the Lantern Festival.
But during the Lantern Festival, people look at the lanterns, while here, people look at the people.
"There are so many people, can you see clearly, boss?" Liu An asked.
"Yes..." Yuan Yuanyuan tiptoed silently.
At this time, height is still quite an advantage, at least it allows her to breathe some fresh air.
She saw that a narrow path had been cleared in the middle for female students to pass through, and there were crowds of people around.
Each monster held a lamp in its hand. The lamps were of various colors. Yuan Yuanyuan saw blue lamps, which were the most numerous. There were also purple, green, and gold lamps dotted among them.
Seen from a distance, this flowing "creek" must be very beautiful.
Before Yuan Yuanyuan could figure out why they chose to hold the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons on the ground, she suddenly saw something that terrified her.
"Hey! Hey! Look over there." Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly patted Liu An's shoulder.
Liu An looked in the direction Yuan Yuanyuan pointed. There were also a lot of people there, but they all looked very different. At least the monsters here were wearing less and less, while the people over there were actually wearing down jackets.
Those guys over there aren't monsters... they're humans.
Liu An's eyes suddenly widened.
Yuan Yuanyuan was confused for a moment. She wanted to go over and pull those humans out, but the place was as crowded as dumplings in a hot pot.
Liu An seemed to want to go over as well, and they both started to squeeze towards that direction at the same time. Before they could squeeze over, they suddenly found that the monsters over there had made way one after another, leaving a path for the humans.
That group of humans actually passed through the group of monsters so smoothly, although Yuan Yuanyuan saw that their expressions were more terrified than the other.
...Will these people be able to see these monsters that are running wild?
Yuan Yuanyuan broke out in a cold sweat when she thought of this, but it seemed that those humans were not in any danger of life except for their frightened expressions.
...What the hell, yes, today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there must be people on the streets!
Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little angry for a moment, but she quickly suppressed the emotion.
She looked at the group of people desperately squeezing forward, then looked at the messy people around her, and suddenly said something silently in her heart. Liu An hadn't reacted yet, and when she looked back, she didn't know when the boss disappeared.
Yuan Yuanyuan was "walking" back and forth in the air. She saw a faint red smoke behind her being pushed around by the crowd and soon melted into the air.
Fortunately, there are a lot of people here... Yuan Yuanyuan complained, and then "walked" forward with all her heart.
She felt herself passing through the gaps in the crowd. It was a strange feeling, hard to describe, but when she came to the group of people, she suddenly heard what they were saying.
"Do you think we are stuck in a maze?"
"Don't be funny... If you want to build a wall, you need a wall. Where is the wall?"
"But we have been walking here for such a long time and have not yet gotten out... We have been walking on this road forever and there is no end in sight."
After listening to what they said, Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why, but she felt like laughing and wanting to laugh at the same time.
Before she came, she was wondering if these people could see anything strange, but now she realized that they couldn't see anything and just couldn't get out of this street.
Fool, of course you can't get out... You are squeezed in a bunch of monsters, like the meat in a meat bun.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the ball-shaped monster in front of them, with a huge belly, no legs or arms, and floating in the air. He was looking down at the humans, because one of them had already walked into his belly, pushing against the flesh on the belly, and was still struggling to get in...
The monster stared at the people below with his soybean-sized eyes, forcing his small eyes to be as bright as spotlights. No one knew what he felt.
Yuan Yuanyuan held back her laughter, walked over to the man who was drilling fiercely, and whispered, "Turn around, you bumped into someone's stomach."
…
At that moment, the man who was trying hard to move forward suddenly stopped. Yuan Yuanyuan saw that the hair on his neck suddenly stood up and became furry.
…
Yuan Yuanyuan whispered in his ear again, "Turn around and follow me."
…
She performed the duties of a guide dog perfectly. By the way, those people were brave enough to follow her out. The moment they walked out of the group of monsters, they suddenly found their minds clear and the whispering voice just now disappeared.
"Mr. Ghost?" A man whispered, "Handsome, handsome? Are you still there?"
"These students are really... they just do whatever they want." Yuan Yuanyuan returned to Liu An's side with a face full of anger. "Damn, many people are visiting relatives and friends today to wish each other a happy new year. In two days, everyone will have to go to work. What's the point of blocking other people's roads?"
"...Boss, when did you come back?" Liu An said silently.
"Just now." Yuan Yuanyuan patted her clothes.
"By the way...Boss, when did you leave?" Liu An asked.
"Oh, don't ask so many questions about these things." Yuan Yuanyuan smiled and patted his shoulder. She looked at the long line of monsters and said, "Look at that monster with a big belly and no arms or legs. Isn't he very interesting?"
"That... isn't it a Tuan Yao?" Liu An took a look and then looked away. "We actually lured him here. This is a monster that likes lively places. It will go wherever there is a lot of excitement. It is a very gentle monster."
"No wonder... I was wondering why he looked so festive." Yuan Yuanyuan asked again, "Do you think there will be a lot of monsters that accidentally bump into us today?"
"I don't think so. The evil spirit here is so strong that most people can sense it, so they naturally won't go this way." Liu An said, "Those few people just came in accidentally, it's their own bad luck."
The two of them stood there. Yuan Yuanyuan had originally planned to go back after a while, but she just saw those humans who accidentally broke into the group of monsters. For some reason, she felt a little uneasy.
Of course, she also knew that those people were just unlucky, but if someone even more unlucky came along, she was afraid that something bad would happen. These students were just crazy. For thousands of years, everyone had been playing the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in the sky. Obviously, there was a reason for that.
In fact, there was a reason why Yuanyuan didn't turn around and go back immediately. She felt uncomfortable as soon as she went out the door just now, and always wanted to escape back. As a result, she stayed here for a while and gradually integrated into this atmosphere.
And to be honest, Yuan Yuanyuan originally thought that she would appear strange when she came here, and would be stared at by a group of monsters. But after arriving, she found that everyone was very natural to her, and no monster looked at her with strange eyes.
On the contrary, she received flirtatious glances from several girls...
Yuan Yuanyuan stood among the monsters and suddenly thought... the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons... was actually quite interesting?
That night, Yuan Yuanyuan rescued several humans... In addition to the first group of people, many others were later trapped among the monsters. Thanks to Yuan Yuanyuan's help, otherwise they would have been trapped here for the entire night.
There are many trapped humans here, and their spiritual energy is much higher than that of ordinary people, otherwise they would not come here. Although the monsters in the larval area are relatively kind, she is still afraid that if a monster is tempted to have bad intentions, those people may be in trouble.
After all, humans with high spiritual energy...are also quite attractive in the eyes of monsters.
…
"Mom, let's... wait here for a while."
"Why wait a moment? It's all frozen to death." said a woman who was dressed very richly.
Gao Ling looked at the large group of monsters in front of him, his palms full of sweat.
The monsters were wearing antique clothes and high shoes with embroidered flowers, and they walked past them without looking back. Gao Ling heard that the monsters who passed by her spoke in ancient language, which sounded a bit like a costume drama.
There seemed to be a thin layer of mist on the street, leaving only a few twinkling lights.
Gao Ling suddenly grabbed her mother's hand and said, "Hurry up, Mom. If you don't leave soon, it will be too late."
Her mother was a little confused by being pulled by Gao Ling. The various gift boxes in her hands bumped into each other. Her mother got angry and scolded Gao Ling a few words.
Gao Ling had no intention of arguing with her mother. She looked around and could only run backwards. However, the team behind her looked slow but was walking at an alarming speed. After a while, Gao Ling found herself trapped inside, surrounded by monsters.
"Xiao Ling, why am I suddenly so cold?" The mother standing next to Gao Ling shivered suddenly and touched her arm with her hand.
Gao Ling looked around and a bitter smile appeared on her face. She thought to herself, this is it, where should I hide?
The speed of the monsters was amazing... at least more amazing than what humans could see with their naked eyes. She thought about adding this to her comics next time, but the most important thing at the moment was how to get her mother out.
"Mom, let's go in that direction." Gao Ling pointed to a direction where there were fewer monsters. Her mother felt a little panicked for some reason at this moment. After listening to Gao Ling's opinion, she did not argue much and followed her.
To humans, monsters are as beautiful as a dream... At least the scene before them, in the eyes of high spirits, is something that only appears in dreams.
As Gao Ling walked along, she saw all kinds of monsters. This place was like a grand costume ball.
The texture of everyone's clothes was surprisingly good, and the dark patterns on them suddenly became dazzling under the moonlight and the light of the lantern.
The makeup on their faces is indescribably exquisite. Their movements, words, and even their eyes are so attractive.
Each of them exudes their own charm, and each of them looks so proud.
Everyone's face was incredibly delicate. Gao Ling felt that there seemed to be very few monsters that were not delicate, just like the ones in the movies, with their faces carefully made up.
It's like everyone has a built-in beauty function... a terrifying racial talent.
Even that legless, armless, dumpling-like monster over there looks like a giant, well-made pillow.
The faces of these monsters all look like they have had plastic surgery... No, it should be said that even if they had plastic surgery according to this method, they would not necessarily look like this.
She forced herself not to look at the monsters. She and her mother walked among the crowd, like two travelers passing through the forest.
This way?
...Can’t get out, here?
She was dizzy from walking among the monsters, and finally came to a place with fewer monsters. Just as she took a breath and was about to turn around to look at her mother, she suddenly heard a man's voice from behind, "How did you get here?"
Gao Ling was so frightened that he turned his head sharply and saw a man smoking.
He didn't use that kind of incense, but a very traditional pipe... The mouth of the pipe was red agate. He took a puff, and a light smoke floated up and slowly disappeared in the black night sky.
…
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the girl in front of her. She was still quite surprised why she met her here.
Although Yuan Yuanyuan may not remember other people, she remembered this girl very clearly. After all, she was the only customer who had patronized her shop...
Cough cough.
Yuan Yuanyuan put aside the complaints in her mind and asked, "Can't you get out? Come with me."
…
"Your aura seems to be very powerful... I saw you when I came here just now. If you keep wandering around here, something might happen to you."
Gao Ling listened to what the monster in front of her said. She looked from behind and saw that the monster was wearing a black fork shawl.
When he walked, his shoulders were very steady, without any shaking at all, yet Gao Ling felt that he walked in a swaying manner for some reason.
Although the black training suit looked very plain, when it was illuminated by the moonlight, she suddenly felt as if she saw silver light all over her eyes.
"If you have enough spiritual energy, it's best not to get close to monsters." The monster took another puff of cigarette and said slowly, "Although there are only small monsters here and not many tough guys... it's still very dangerous."
He turned his head, and Gao Ling suddenly took a breath of cold air.
In the night, Gao Ling suddenly remembered something for some reason.
I don’t like smoking, and I don’t like others smoking...but I like watching beautiful people smoking.
But if I think about it carefully, maybe what I like is not the fact that he smokes... but the lazy and addicted look on his face when he smokes.
The person in front of her noticed that she had been silent for a long time and didn't say anything, but just turned her head away again.
