Yuan Yuanyuan has liked many, many two-dimensional monsters, many of which were her original favorites and have not changed over the years.
So when she first discovered that she had become a half-demon, she was secretly excited for a long time.
Her excitement continued until she saw with her own eyes the fight between monsters.
The fights between monsters are bloody and cruel.
Many of them are indeed very beautiful and very charismatic, just like the ones Yuan Yuanyuan had seen in literary works before.
Yuan Yuanyuan has seen many powerful monsters. Although she only took a sneak peek, they are all very attractive. Therefore, many people have been describing these monsters from ancient times to the present. Whether it is comics or stories, it is because they attract people that people write about them.
But Yuan Yuanyuan really couldn't fit in.
There are many, many things that, if simply taken out and put into books, would be stories with great violent beauty, and many things sound inexplicably attractive.
But to be honest, Yuan Yuanyuan is not some silly middle school girl. There are some things that you will understand once you see them with your own eyes.
When Yuan Yuanyuan saw a monster killing people for the first time, she exploded, picked up a knife nearby and rushed over, stabbing the monster directly in the waist, which resulted in a six-month-long hunt...
But now that she thought about it, she had no idea what her train of thought was.
From the perspective of monsters, it seems that monsters have done nothing wrong. The law of the jungle is their law. If you insist, you would say that she, a half-demon, is a troublemaker.
But from a human perspective... Yuan Yuanyuan has no qualifications.
She is a half-demon, half demon and half monster. As the name suggests, in addition to being half human, she is also half a monster.
Although Yuan Yuanyuan doesn't like to get involved in many things...but I have to say, she has always made herself so miserable...it seems that it is because she has always cared about some things.
She doesn't like killing people, nor does she like seeing monsters killing people.
But she is not a kind person. Sometimes Yuan Yuanyuan even thinks she is quite hypocritical. She dares not kill people and refuses to kill people, but she kills monsters as if nothing happened.
Now faced with this situation, what should she do?
Yuan Yuanyuan stood at the door, listening to the sounds coming from inside. She felt like she was stunned for a long time, but when she really counted it, it didn't seem like much time.
Just as she was stunned, a series of pictures seemed to flash before her eyes, a girl covered in blood, beautiful flower petals, and a man in white.
…
It seemed like she came here to negotiate with the "big shot".
But now, it seems that there is no need to negotiate or not.
Yuan Yuanyuan discovered that something was wrong again when she suddenly realized that there had been no moaning sounds coming from the room for a long time.
She was suddenly startled, and then her whole body shook, wondering if something had happened inside during the time she was struggling here.
Yuan Yuanyuan raised her head and looked around again, but suddenly found that she was the only one in the entire corridor. The woman in purple opposite her had disappeared at some point.
The lavender and sky-blue mist in the corridor disappeared at some point.
There was an inexplicable chill in the corridor. Just a moment ago, this place seemed like a gentle and peaceful place where one could live a life of drunkenness and dreaming, but now it had suddenly turned into a freezer.
Yuan Yuanyuan took two steps forward hesitantly, took out a knife, and pushed open the door from which the groaning sound had just been heard.
She thought she would see some bloody scene, but suddenly she found that the house was empty. It was just a model house with a large floor-to-ceiling mirror in the middle, which could just reflect Yuan Yuanyuan's full appearance.
Yuan Yuanyuan saw her face in the mirror, which had been painted in a somewhat funny way.
She was looking at him and he was looking at him.
This scene is a little different from what she imagined.
Yuan Yuanyuan walked into the house in a daze, but the door behind her suddenly closed by itself, which scared her.
Because the door behind her closed loudly, Yuan Yuanyuan turned around subconsciously. She reached out to pull it, but it didn't open.
When she turned around again, she suddenly saw that the large floor-length mirror was covered with words written in red lipstick.
[If you were given another identity now, what would you do with it? ]
Yuan Yuanyuan walked up and looked at the color of the lipstick on the mirror...it seemed to be rusty red.
She knew that this was Ji Qiu. Writing with lipstick was his style, and so was suddenly and inexplicably pulling people to another place.
She had many questions she wanted to ask that "big shot" before, but now she didn't even want to see that "big shot"'s face. She had many thoughts in her mind, and suddenly she blurted out, "Who are you?"
【I am Ji Qiu. 】
"I know... What I mean is, are you a monster, a human, a Taoist priest, or some other mess like a god..." Yuan Yuanyuan recalled the various second-year works she had watched before and guessed aimlessly.
[Is this important? After all, you can't find me. ]
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the words that seemed to appear out of thin air. She rubbed her temples and said, "Let's change the question. Why did you draw this comic? Why did you draw me in it? Besides me, are all the others like this? Uh... were they drawn into the comic with another identity?"
Another line of words appeared on the mirror opposite, "Besides you, there are many other people drawn in. Some of them are the same as you, and some are drawn in their true appearance. What does it matter? I just want to draw a good-looking comic. If you perform well, you will naturally stand out. If you don't perform well, I can arrange a proper ending for you according to the general rules of comics. 】
"...You have great ambitions." Yuan Yuanyuan said.
She had begun to understand Ji Qiu's tactics. To him, they were just "chess pieces" in the painting. The positions of the "chess pieces" were different, and what they knew were also different.
She is probably a "chess piece" in the position of "important male supporting role". The "chess piece" in this position knows a little more, but not too much.
Going further up, the "protagonist" level may know more, and the "extras" level may be kept in the dark.
In addition to her, there are many people like her, all of whom are people or monsters in this situation. Everyone is trying to show themselves, and if they don't show well, they may be put on ice or even sent to lunch.
So what is the purpose of her current role as a "male supporting actor"? To develop the plot with the protagonist? To create a tragic atmosphere? Or to add more scenes?
[Thank you for the compliment.] On the mirror opposite, it was written, [Then let’s go back to the previous question. If you were given another identity now, what would you do with it?]
What to do?
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the words on the mirror. Ji Qiu had obviously not finished writing yet. He continued to write, "This identity is very mysterious, very powerful, and very charming. It is much stronger than your current ability and can do many things that you cannot do now. What are you going to use it for?"
“……” Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the words in silence for a few seconds.
"I think... I might do something extremely childish." She finally said with some difficulty.
[I know, that's why I drew you into my comics.] Ji Qiu continued to write, [I said before, I selected a lot of suitable souls for the characters in my works.]
So I was chosen because I'm a middle school student?
Yuan Yuanyuan complained helplessly. She always felt that the scene in front of her was very familiar. Specifically, it could be compared to Lucius, Sebastian and Ciel, Luke and Lucy, Ji Qiu and Yuan Yuanyuan...
She was not surprised to see the next line written on the mirror.
【There are many people like you here. 】
Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly saw a series of strange patterns drawn on the mirror with lipstick. They all looked very uncomfortable and even funnier than the pattern on her face. They were very irregular and had an indescribable creepy feeling.
She frowned as she looked at the pattern on it, and Ji Qiu wrote again, "I drew for a month, and suddenly realized that my comics might be missing an interesting male supporting role. Although I already have quite a few, the male supporting role I liked the most before did not live to this day. He died very early."
"Ahem, let's get down to business." Yuan Yuanyuan said.
[Some of the male supporting characters in other comics are very powerful, some are very interesting, and all of them have personal charm. Even if they die, there are still many people who miss them.] Ji Qiu continued to write, [There are many such characters in my comics, but the important and tragic male supporting character I chose before died too early. I was a little caught off guard, so I had to find another one.]
"...tragic?" Yuan Yuanyuan's expression suddenly became strange.
She has spent countless efforts in the past half month to create characters that are cold, ruthless, enchanting, and handsome.
Now that the answer has been revealed, it turns out to be - tragic?
[I think you are very suitable.] Ji Qiu wrote seriously, [I really think you are suitable, so I chose you.]
…
When Yuan Yuanyuan came to her senses again, she was already in that familiar corridor.
From the room on the left, moaning sounds were heard again, and the lavender and sky-blue mist began to reappear in the air.
The purple-clad woman opposite her faced her with an ambiguous smile on her face, and the evil aura around her made her feel dizzy.
Yuan Yuanyuan recalled the last words just a few autumns ago.
[Do you think you can go in and save that girl? ]
"……almost?"
[There are many monsters in there, you will definitely not be able to save them if you go in.] Ji Qiu wrote, [How about you promise me one thing, and I will help you?]
"Fuck, if you keep saying that I won't save you. Your race is obviously the devil."
[I don't require my male supporting role to be the same, and I don't require you to be exactly the same as the previous male supporting role.] Ji Qiu wrote, [But there are still some prerequisites before that. Maybe... you agree to something first, and then I can help you?]
Yuan Yuanyuan knew that this guy had bad intentions. He was just like those salespeople who would lead you astray as they talked.
But he was right about one thing: Yuan Yuanyuan alone did not have the ability to save the girl.
How important is strength among monsters?
If Yuan Yuanyuan was more capable, would she not have left her hometown?
If Yuan Yuanyuan was a little more powerful, would some of the people she had met before be safe?
If...she could become a little stronger, right? There are many things that would not have ended up like that, right?
Yuan Yuanyuan watched the environment return to normal, then looked at the woman in purple clothes opposite her and smiled at her.
After she finished laughing, she suddenly turned around and opened the door behind her. Inside was a very weird and strange scene. Yuan Yuanyuan's eyes swept over the people in the room.
The evil spirit in the room was very strong. The moment she pushed the door open, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly felt dizzy.
Her eyes fell on the red spots on the ground and the man in white.
The man in white sat at the chief seat. He looked no different from during the day. Even in such an environment, he was still very calm and composed, as graceful as a fairy.
Yuan Yuanyuan only realized today how deceiving a monster's appearance can be.
She leaned against the door and looked at the man in white. Although the people in the room were a little surprised by her arrival, they were not panicked and waited quietly for her next move.
Yuan Yuanyuan took a last look at the house. It was completely different from when she first arrived. The house was decorated in a magnificent manner, very grand, and with a vague air of ambiguity.
"Before coming here, I was still wondering how I should treat you." The man in black suddenly burst into the room and said, "Should I treat you as a supporting role? Or should I take the opportunity to sell homosexuality and attract some traffic? The man in black and the man in white, if you think about it carefully, are they a good match?"
The man in white in the room suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"But now I understand...why you came to me." The man opposite suddenly licked his lips ambiguously, and the words he said also revealed an inexplicable ambiguity.
As he spoke, he took out a knife and walked over.
…
Yuan Yuanyuan thought, "Ah, these days, rich young men are such great cannon fodder characters..."
Maybe she just agreed to a wrong thing, but Yuan Yuanyuan felt that if she did nothing and just left, she might not be able to live a stable life.
As for this tragic supporting actor…how tragic is his character?
Before stabbing the man in white with the knife, Yuan Yuanyuan was still thinking about it, but gradually, she stopped thinking about it.
Will the boat naturally straighten itself when it reaches the bridge?
At least now, when she took the girl out of the bar and escaped on the street with her, Yuan Yuanyuan thought that she had finally followed her heart.
