After 12 o'clock, there are very few cars outside. After all, this is the north, and people rarely go out after dark in winter.

Usually, the people who dare to go out at this time are groups of people or monsters. Gao Ling looked at the cover and felt a little cold for some reason. She stood up and looked out the window, watching one or two blurry figures flying by, and pulled the curtains tightly, leaving no gap.

Turning around, Gao Ling continued to look at the cover and took a closer look at its name.

"Return from Hell".

Back from Hell?

Gao Ling felt a little cold, but it wasn't just a simple cold.

She just glanced again at the person on the cover.

The bones on half of the face did not look like real bones, but rather seemed to be painted on like the purple flowers. Every bit of the bones looked beautiful.

It may sound strange to say that a pile of bones is beautiful, but the bones on the left half of the face are really weird and stunning. Weird enough to make people feel cold all over, yet stunning enough to make people unable to take their eyes off them.

Gao Ling touched his face.

Is this a human bone?

Why does it look a bit weird?

【Is this Yuan? ! ! 】

[What's going on? Back in jail? What's going on with Yuan's face? ]

[Fuck, this face is incredible... I feel like it has surpassed the peak of my current demon memory. I have goosebumps all over my body. It's so demonic! ]

[It's a beautiful drawing... but it looks a bit evil. It feels like the type that needs to be purified by a paladin with holy water every minute.]

[Why is the drawing so beautiful? It's not scientific. I'm afraid of bones...]

Gao Ling opened the comic. The comments on today's comic were unprecedentedly fast. Many people just looked at the cover and couldn't wait to start expressing their feelings in the comments. So according to the midnight, only ten minutes had passed, and the number of comments had exceeded four figures.

The explosion of this issue may have startled the website. The page, which usually runs very smoothly, now shows signs of crashing.

In the end, only half of the people were able to enter the website. The other half looked at the 404 error on the page and simply asked on the official website, "What did you draw today? I can't enter the website."

So someone took a screenshot and posted it on the official website. Now all the readers of Monster Records who hadn’t entered the game could see it, and they wanted to enter even more.

The official website was lagging badly that night. Once you logged out, you could basically never get back in. Many people had to wait until the next day to see the day's updates.

…

"Oh my god, I couldn't get in again after I quit yesterday. I tried for 20 minutes but couldn't get in. Why did I quit when I had nothing better to do?"

"Wouldn't it be better if you didn't watch it?" Gao Ling yawned while talking on the phone. "I watched it last night and couldn't sleep for half the night..."

"Is it scary?" the person on the other end asked.

"It's not that scary..." Gao Ling took a sip of coffee.

Ah...how should I put it...last night was truly the epitome of "return to hell". Both the painting style and the plot are terrifying when one thinks carefully.

Gao Ling yawned again, thinking about going to sleep again later... She really couldn't fall asleep just now, having been tormented by all kinds of bizarre things all night.

…

Yuan Yuanyuan was eating melon seeds while flipping through yesterday's comics.

In fact, she also quit yesterday and never went back. But before she quit, she had read more than half of it and had a general idea of ​​what it was about.

This issue actually talks about what the head of the Li family said to her when he came to her store during the Chinese New Year.

Moreover, what he drew was more than what Yuan Yuanyuan knew at that time... At least Yuan Yuanyuan understood why the name of this magazine was "Return from Prison".

Because at the very beginning, the head of the Li family was sitting in his home, complaining to his subordinates, and in the middle of his complaints he made a point.

[“How did he survive?” a handsome man with red lips and white teeth asked his subordinate.]

[When he asked this question, his expression was very amused. It was as if he was discussing a trivial matter with others.]

This made Yuan Yuanyuan unhappy for a long time... Why was the old man so handsome from the beginning, and Ji Qiu had to paint him as a young man.

Although Yuan Yuanyuan knew that this was the method Ji Qiu used to hide his true identity, he had also used it on "Yuan". If Yuan did not use it, he might have been the most frustrated person in the history of Monster Chronicles.

But Yuan Yuanyuan still felt unhappy.

Anyway, at that time, this... the head of the Li family who looked like a pretty boy appeared in the painting. He was sitting in a house that looked very antique, leaning on a rocking chair, drinking tea and talking to other people.

The painting style of this issue is actually quite different from the previous ones. After all, the previous ones were all about Fanning's upgrade. Even if Fanning is a Taoist priest, he is a Taoist priest in the 21st century, so his living habits more or less have some modern style.

However, the person on the screen was different. The first second he appeared, the entire style of the painting suddenly changed from a modern drama to an ancient drama.

According to Yuan Yuanyuan herself, the painting style even has a bit of an antique feel, and she even thought it was a crossover with the light comedy comic "The Little Chef of the Tang Dynasty" which was famous for its painting style...

Of course, this is still a demon record. The reason why this place looks antique is because the heads of the Li family were active in the last century and the century before last, so it is natural to have this feeling.

Yuan Yuanyuan even suspected that, except for the old man of the Li family, all other characters in the comic were original and not changed at all. After all, the old monster could not be compared with him in this aspect.

In the comics, no one calls the old man of the Li family by his name. Everyone just calls him "head of the family". Apart from that, there is no other way to call him.

【“I’m not sure…” said a man standing next to the patriarch. 】

【“Guess.” Instead of blaming him, the man encouraged him with interest. 】

[“Maybe…” the subordinate said bravely, “He was not pushed into the well at all? Maybe… he used some method to get someone else to go down for him?”]

[“Hahaha…” The man who was called the head of the family suddenly started laughing wildly after hearing this. His laughter was very loud and it was getting louder and louder. It sounded like a laugh that could not be stopped.]

[The subordinate beside him lowered his head suddenly, and the man suddenly stopped laughing. When he raised his head again, his expression suddenly changed and there was no smile at all, "I was the one who pushed him down... How can there be someone else to replace him?"]

Damn...it turns out you were the one who pushed Yiqi down back then!

It's you who backstabbed him, it's you who pushed him, it's all your fault!

When Yuan Yuanyuan saw this, she inexplicably felt a mouthful of blood in her throat.

【“Master.” The man next to him lowered his head even more fiercely. 】

[“Forget it, I don’t blame you.” The man waved his hands, “I did push him over with my own hands back then, but now that things have come to this, I can’t believe in myself anymore.”]

【“Master, why do you say that?”】

[“Do you know how many monster corpses were buried in that well…for thousands of years?” the man asked, “How do you think he climbed out of that well?”]

【The subordinates did not speak.】

【But this does not mean that he did not know about the well. 】

[“He was able to climb out of that well…” the man said, “He is a devil, a devil from hell, that’s why he was able to climb out of that well.”]

He is a devil.

Yuan Yuanyuan shook her head, suddenly not knowing what to say.

He is not actually one of them, and he has nothing to do with evil spirits anyway... But the real Yiqi should be struggling in hell now. Once he pays for the murder, he will probably be able to go to heaven.

This is actually a very normal situation. In other people's minds, this should be the most normal development of things... But this time "Yi Qi" actually survived. I guess in the eyes of others, this is actually the most incomprehensible thing.

...Perhaps only someone who has returned from hell can do this.

That’s why the name of this magazine is “Return from Prison”.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she had roughly understood what this chapter meant. The head of the Li family described him to his subordinates as "an evil ghost who had returned from hell and wanted to kill him."

In the eyes of others, Yuan was indeed an evil ghost who returned from hell, a ghost that was completely out of the plan... All his traces and existence were erased, but at this moment he suddenly appeared in the eyes of others like a ghost, and began to make a series of high-profile actions.

For those people or monsters who wish he would disappear forever, he is indeed an evil ghost that cannot be killed.

The conversation between the Patriarch of the Li family and his subordinates in this issue was actually the inducement for him to look for Yuan Yuanyuan at that time. It was also because of that conversation that the Patriarch of the Li family went to look for "Yuan" that night.

So Yuan Yuanyuan knew what happened next, which was the conversation between her and the head of the Li family that night.

Yuan Yuanyuan flipped through her phone and thought, she is indeed a ghost... and a scapegoat among ghosts.

What kind of role is Ji Qiu?

Prince Yan?

…

[You once said that my facial expression was always hypocritical, insincere, and my smile was fake. You also said that if I wanted to kill someone, my expression would be nice, but my eyes would be ugly. ” The man laughed, and his voice suddenly became inexplicably sinister, “But now, we both smile exactly the same. 】

[Yuan, who was sitting opposite him, had a dazed look in his eyes. He had been sitting on a chair, with smoke slowly coming out of his mouth, filling the air above the room.]

Gao Ling looked at the lines and the picture, and felt numb from head to toe, as if he had been shocked.

She didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally uttered two words.

Oh my god...
