Yuan Yuanyuan stared at the picture that was suddenly inserted into the comic for a long time, then picked up the tea beside her and took a sip to suppress her surprise.
She now began to recall in her mind everything that had happened since she met the city lord.
From the initial invitation to the city lord's attitude when they met later.
When the two met, the city lord did not even mention why he had asked her to come, but simply told her some family matters.
"Thank you very much for agreeing to come over today."
Oh... so that's how it is... it's actually like this...
"Boss, would you like something to eat?" Liu An asked.
"I don't want to eat anymore." Yuan Yuanyuan turned over a page of the comic and continued to think about what was inside.
"Then I'll go cook some instant noodles." Liu An said and went into the kitchen, leaving Yuan Yuanyuan alone in the living room.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the picture above. This was the scene where the old man lifted the curtain and asked the people outside where they were now.
She remembered that she had complained at the time, why did they say they had just returned to the city? Did they go for a walk outside the city? But now it seems... they might have really gone around the city and come back.
Because it was clearly written in black and white in the comic that Shironaka planned to go out for a walk and then come back, which would have a deterrent effect.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn’t know whether the intimidation effect was achieved... Anyway, she broke out in a cold sweat after seeing it.
It was a blessing that no one came. If someone had come, she felt that she might not have come back alive yesterday.
"But... Fanning actually came out to watch the Hundred Demons Festival last night?" Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly realized this problem.
She still likes Fanning. He is not like some Taoist priests who make her feel disgusted. Although he is a bit evil now, he is still a very pleasant young man. And the most important thing is that he has a good-looking face.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought that yesterday was probably the first time that Fanning saw the Hundred Demons Festival with his own eyes... No matter how she thought about it, the Taoist settlement would not allow the monsters to have a revelry, especially when the monsters were in a defeated situation now.
[Fanning walked around the street and suddenly heard a very excited voice.]
[“Look! It’s the city lord! The city lord is coming out!”]
[Faning suddenly turned his head and heard a faint singing voice. He saw a long team suddenly appeared on the horizon.]
[The demon army seemed to be endless, with no end in sight. It came from far away and arrived in front of him. The sky was filled with light like the sun about to rise.]
[Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in my ears, as if thousands of drums were beating at once, there were big drums, there were small drums, this distant and ancient rhythm, every beat seemed to hit my heart.]
[Countless black clouds suddenly rose from the horizon, like an inescapable sandstorm.]
【At that moment, Fanning felt goosebumps all over his body.】
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the scene in the painting and suddenly couldn't help saying "Fuck!". She was afraid that Liu An in the kitchen would hear her, so she quickly suppressed the sound.
She looked at the demon team on the screen.
If the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons can be used as a means of shocking people, then it can definitely give people strong sensory stimulation.
Yuanyuan didn't feel any of this kind of sensory stimulation that day, but today she actually saw it in the comics.
She hadn't expected the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons to be like this... It seemed that what she saw that day was not the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons in the true sense. She saw less than what Fanning saw on the ground.
[The surrounding monsters were swarming forward like crazy. Fanning was squeezed so hard that he could hardly stand. The street suddenly lost its leisurely and relaxed feeling and became frenzied and crazy.]
[“Hurry up! Hurry up!” Fanning heard someone shouting this faintly. He grabbed a nearby electric pole and avoided being knocked to the ground.]
[“Monsters…are all monsters so crazy!” Fanning screamed crazily in his heart, “I always feel like, I always feel like I’m a fanatical fan…”]
[When the convoy passed directly above the street, Fanning felt an indescribable pressure coming from above his head. It felt like a helicopter was rising above his head. The wind kept blowing up, and Fanning's hair was blown into a tornado at that moment.]
[The monsters nearby were blown down by the wind like wheat in a wheat field. Fanning held the electric pole tighter, looking up at the convoy above him that was as tall as a skyscraper, thinking, Oh, my god!]
[The time that the convoy stayed above their heads was actually very short, but to the monsters below, it was just like a typhoon.]
[After the typhoon was over, Fanning got up and felt like his brain was blowing away.]
[…He felt that from today on, he finally understood why the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons could be used as a means of intimidation.]
[The surrounding monsters shouted frantically and chased after the car team that had already left. Fanning looked at them and touched his arm. For some reason, he felt that the monsters were overreacting.]
【But judging from their feelings, they seem to be used to it.】
[Folk custom issues - Fan Ning summed it up like this. He felt that because of his physical problems, he might become the only Taoist priest in history who can experience the life of monsters. When he goes back, he can publish a book to popularize science among Taoist priests. If any Taoist priests are willing to accept it His words. 】
Yuan Yuanyuan put down her phone and watched Liu An, who had been serving noodles to her without her knowing when, slurp the noodles and look at her. Liu An asked, "Boss, does it look good?"
"It looks good." Yuan Yuanyuan said.
"Oh..." Liu An stopped talking and lowered his head to slurp the instant noodles.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought Fanning was just overthinking... Who else could be more qualified than her to write a book about the differences between the lives of monsters and humans? But now she was still working for Ji Qiu, maybe... one day when Ji Qiu let her go, she could really write a memoir.
"Ahem." Liu An was eating and suddenly wanted to speak, but he choked himself. He coughed twice and said, "Boss... One Hundred Demons Night Parade... is really amazing."
"Didn't you go to see it?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked, and suddenly she remembered, "Oh, by the way, you were in the house the whole day..."
Liu An remained silent and sipped his soup. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at her phone again and suddenly said from the bottom of her heart, "Yes...it's really amazing."
"It must be more spectacular if you watch it from that car." Liu An suddenly said. Yuan Yuanyuan turned her head and there was a hint of envy on Liu An's face.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the envious look on his face and was suddenly stunned.
She thought of some things that happened a long, long time ago, so long ago that they were almost thrown into the trash. It seemed that a long time ago, she had thought from the bottom of her heart, "If it were like that, it would be great."
On the street outside, someone triggered the car alarm, and the "wa-wa-wa" sound was very long.
In the dim room, Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Liu An for a long time, and for some reason she suddenly said, "No, sitting up there... is actually not as fun as sitting down there."
"Huh? Why?" Liu An raised his head, still slurping instant noodles, and spoke vaguely.
"Because..." Yuan Yuanyuan frowned and said, "It looks fun to sit down there, right? But when you sit up there, you can't see anything. There's only a small curtain, and then you lie next to that small window to look... It's more boring than attending a meeting."
"Besides," Yuan Yuanyuan was inexplicably excited, as if she had finally found someone to complain to, "I couldn't feel anything up there... The sound was also very quiet, and I could listen to it as a lullaby in the car."
Liu An had a look of shattered dreams on his face. Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw his expression. She waved her hand in front of Liu An and asked, "Hey, come back to your senses. Don't look so disillusioned."
"...Then it's definitely because your demon team is not up to par." After Liu An came to his senses, he began to refute Yuan Yuanyuan's words frantically, "Of course your team heard a little less. The demon team in the comics is definitely much more spectacular."
Yuan Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "All the monster teams, big and small, behave like this. I don't believe there are any exceptions."
While they were arguing, the car alarms outside stopped and the streets returned to peace. The number of monsters on the streets had suddenly decreased since the Hundred Demons Festival, but the number of humans had gradually increased.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the instant noodles she had beaten Liu An to the point that he didn't even eat them, and a mystical smile appeared on her face.
She flipped through the last few pages of the comic, which contained Fanning's own inner monologue.
[He looked up at the demon team that had disappeared in the sky, and suddenly wanted to follow it to take a look.]
[But no... He can't fly. If he wants to fly, he has to rely on some Taoist methods. ]
[“In that car, sitting are the city lord and the man who came to help stabilize the situation today.” A person next to him said, “They just came back from the edge of the city… They are really majestic.”]
[The city lord and that important person are sitting there? Fanning looked up at the horizon.]
[Did they just come back from the city? They must have gone to intimidate the surrounding monsters...]
[Fanning looked at the convoy disappearing in the sky, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.]
[I want to be able to sit in such a convoy and have a night parade of one hundred demons, so that the little demons below can look up and be scared of the demons around me...]
[Really, they are all very remarkable. ]
