Yuan Yuanyuan could tell at a glance that the man in red was probably going out to attend the Hundred Demons Festival... Why was she so sure? Because the man in red always wore a red sweater all year round, and he rarely changed the style.
So if you suddenly dress so formally, you must be going out to attend something important.
Just like her...
Yuan Yuanyuan watched the man in red in the comic go out, and Fanning sat alone in the room in a daze. After a while, he suddenly thought, why don't you go out and take a look? Although he is a newcomer and doesn't know anything, he doesn't need to go far, just walk around the neighborhood a few times.
Then Fanning went out and began to walk aimlessly on the street, watching the different New Year customs of the nearby monsters.
[Fanning looked at the monsters dressed in all kinds of strange ways. They were wearing solemn and luxurious clothes, holding small lights or some strange things in their hands, wandering around the street.]
[He thinks this is a bit strange... After all, it is very different from humans, so naturally he feels a little uncomfortable.]
[But it was still very interesting. He looked up at the sky, watching a long dragon-like team passing in front of him.]
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the pictures in the comics. It was indeed quite exciting, at least much more exciting than she had imagined.
Although she really wanted to see what the Demon Festival was like, she was floating in the sky the entire first day of the festival and didn't see anything. Now that she saw it in the comics, her wish was somewhat fulfilled.
The screen is filled with gold, blue and purple, which is indeed more attractive than just red. It looks like the painter spilled the paints and smeared countless paints on the dark grey background.
Yuan Yuanyuan likes this kind of picture very much. Although she has always been more like a human, in this case, she still has to say that monsters are much better than humans in this respect.
They are born to suit those brilliant colors.
[Fanning stared blankly at the sky. He didn't know who was sitting in the car flying in the sky. He just felt that it would be a very cool and majestic scene to sit in the car and overlook the city.]
[In those cars sat huge monsters. Fanning had heard that there would be a lot of monsters coming tonight, so he couldn't help but imagine how gorgeous and charming each of those monsters would be.]
...bullshit.
Yuan Yuanyuan was very upset.
Look, this is caused by the information asymmetry between monsters and humans... You can't see a ghost sitting there, you can only see a bunch of car exhaust.
In fact, the only thing that could be seen on it was the exhaust gas of a carriage... She seriously suspected that the bluish-purple thing was actually the exhaust gas of a carriage.
But the car was still very comfortable, Yuan Yuanyuan had to be honest about this. Apart from this, the snacks provided were delicious and the tea was tasty.
Yuan Yuanyuan feels that she can see the effect of thunder drama by watching this thing...that is, the plot itself is not important, the essence is to complain.
She began to secretly wonder how much she would complain after reading today's update.
[Fanning looked up at the sky, and suddenly he felt something incredible.]
[He thought of countless things in his mind, and one thing that concerned him the most was how his predecessors defeated these talented people in the past?]
[Back then, it was not like today, where you can fly into the sky on a plane or fight with cannons and tanks... it was a real fight with flesh and blood.]
Liu An covered his face silently.
Okay...why did you draw something like this?
This was what he complained about in his mind when he went to watch Tang Shi's Night Parade of a Hundred Demons that day... In fact, he was saying it was unscientific while watching the show with great interest.
After all, he didn't go out at all on the day of the Hundred Demons Festival. But Ji Qiu might have done it for convenience, or maybe to conceal his identity, so he simply painted his thoughts when he went out that day.
But this question... he thinks it's actually easy to answer. It's just that humans are more courageous... Wasn't it the same way when they fought against the U.S. and aided Korea?
As Liu An was thinking, he suddenly became absent-minded. He turned around and looked at Yuan Yuanyuan sitting on the chair with a subtle expression on her face.
It’s hard to describe the subtle expression on “his” face. Anyway, the distribution of muscles on his face seems a little bit wrong. It looks like he’s smiling and crying at the same time.
"What's wrong, boss?" Liu An asked.
“…No, nothing.” Yuan Yuanyuan said.
She discovered that Ji Qiu really liked to include some personal opinions in his comics... Many of these personal opinions were described using the protagonist's inner thoughts.
After all, for readers, this world of monsters is seen through Fanning's eyes. Fanning has a certain freshness about this world, just like the readers themselves.
However, in the process of popularizing the world of monsters... Ji Qiu particularly likes to bring in his own personal opinions, many of which are related to the history of monsters.
But there is no other way, right? If you want to learn about a completely unfamiliar place, in addition to understanding its current situation, you will also get to know some of its history.
——So here comes the point, what is the history of monsters?
Yuan Yuanyuan herself didn’t quite understand what happened a long, long time ago, but in modern times, she still knew a lot about the history of monsters.
It is inseparable from several key words - war, blood, and army.
Ji Qiu's arrangement in this regard was quite clever. The general background he set was exactly the war of that year. Even the big boss and the male supporting role were characters in the war of that year.
So this way of telling the story is like listening to an ancient and mysterious story from the grandfather's generation, and it also feels a bit like when Naruto was running for village chief and discovered the awesome identities of [his father], [his mother], [master], [master's gay friend], [senior brother], [senior brother's gay friend], [his own gay friend], and [himself]...
Take Fanning for example...this time he discovered the awesome identity of the BOSS he was about to face.
Yes, I am talking about Yuan.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the comic with dead eyes. He thought to himself, I sit in the car all day, oblivious to what's happening outside, and only want to go home and sleep. What can you see from this?
This time, what happened actually started when Fanning suddenly thought of what he had learned in the sect.
…
[While Fanning was walking down the street, he suddenly remembered this incident.]
[This is something he learned when he was still in Sanqing. It is a story about the monsters and humans of the past.]
[Legend has it that when the war started, humans had the upper hand at first. During that time, many monsters were killed and wounded, so their morale was low.]
[However, just when humans wanted to hold a celebration ceremony, a sudden action disrupted their plan.]
[It was a completely unexpected Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, and also the most famous Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in the history of monsters. ]
[It was a night parade of a hundred demons organized by an army of demons, led by countless great demons. They led an arrogant and powerful demon army, passed by the edge of the battle line, and then flew back. Those who saw that scene that day will never forget it for the rest of their lives.]
[On that day, humans did not understand the meaning of this action. They were simply shocked by the spectacular scene. Later, when the monsters on the battlefield suddenly became more motivated, they finally understood that there was a deeper meaning behind this action.]
[It is like a ritual between monsters, through which they strengthen their cohesion and fighting power. ]
【After that incident, the term "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" was finally taken seriously by humans.】
Yuan Yuanyuan silently took out her little notebook.
Then she began to take notes frantically in "Yao Ji".
Write it down, write it down! Look at Ji Qiu's ability to express himself. It can be written into the textbook as a definition.
[Fanning walked down the street and saw many people wearing masks and hoods.]
[Their masks are all embroidered with a newborn moon, and they look like masks.]
[“What are they…doing?” Fanning asked an acquaintance nearby. He knew that these were the monsters responsible for protecting safety, but the fact that so many of them came at once…still made him a little unbelievable.]
[“They?” the old man next to him said, “They are here to protect this place… It’s not very peaceful here recently.”]
【“Not peaceful?” After hearing this, Fanning felt nervous again. 】
[He is now very afraid of unrest... because if there is unrest, his identity may be exposed.]
[“What’s wrong? Hasn’t everything been pretty peaceful lately?”]
【“No way.” The old man said, “Didn’t we open the protective shield a while ago… It was not peaceful at that time. Recently, everyone wants to step on us. But this year, I heard that they brought a lot of big monsters. Didn’t you see that the scene this year is much more lively than last year? They will go to the edge of the city later.”】
[“Sorry… I’ve only been here for a few months…” Fanning said a little embarrassedly, “Which big monsters did you invite?”]
[The old man said, "Most of the big monsters in East City have come, and some of the big monsters who were hiding in seclusion have also been dragged out... I heard that a very powerful big shot has been called in to shake up the place."]
[“Big shot?” Fanning wondered. “Who is that big shot?”]
[“Who knows? The higher-ups didn’t tell us. How can a little monster like us know? That’s all for the other big monsters to see.” The old man laughed.]
【Fanning rubbed his head, thanked him, and turned away.】
[He has been wondering all along the way... who is this important person? ]
No way...
When Yuan Yuanyuan saw this, she had a premonition for some reason...
She flipped the page and saw a very spectacular team. Even though this team was drawn on paper, its momentum could be felt through the paper.
It's so domineering and majestic that it's hard to describe.
There were blue and purple lights all around, as well as patches of silver light. In addition to their majestic appearance, this team also had a bit of mystery.
Seeing this, Yuan Yuanyuan felt that it was not the case...
She thought to herself that it definitely wasn't... the place she went to that night wasn't that awesome. The whole time it was just the sound of chanting. She just stared at the wheels in a daze. How could there be such a magnificent and luxurious scene? It was just like an emperor on tour.
When she turned another page, she suddenly saw someone in the car at the front of the line asking a question.
[“Where are we?”]
【“We’ve returned to the city.”】
The car's window curtain was opened a corner, and one could see two people sitting inside. The one asking the question was an old man, and there was another person sitting opposite him.
There was a faint blue light burning inside the car.
The beam of light fell on the chin of the man opposite the old man, casting a shadow over his nose.
He had a furry white cape around his neck, which seemed to cover his entire body, yet made his skin look very white.
The old man lowered the car's window curtains, and the scene inside the car flashed by and could no longer be seen.
