Tang Shi looked at the words on the forum, and every word seemed to stimulate people's nerves.
[Are humans and monsters going to go to war? 】
[If a war breaks out, who will the Northwest Territory send to fight? ]
There are not many active people in this forum. At the peak, there are only about a thousand people online at the same time. However, at this moment, every time Tang Shi refreshes the page, a new post will appear. Everyone who can go online is going crazy, and all kinds of shocking posts appear in the forum.
On the other side, Yuan Yuanyuan was still talking to Qiu Ling. She was listening to every piece of news Qiu Ling said, and her brain was working frantically.
"Tang Shi said they were from the northwest." Qiu Ling said as he recalled, "The northwest is quite far from here. Does it have anything to do with us if a fight breaks out?"
"Where?" Yuan Yuanyuan tapped her aching head and took a look in her mirror. "Wait, northwest?"
"What's wrong, boss? Do you know anything?" Qiu Ling asked.
Qiu Ling and Tang Shi are different... At least Yuan Yuanyuan has experienced it herself. Tang Shi’s attitude towards Yuan Yuanyuan is "Ah, you salted fish", while Qiu Ling’s attitude is "Ah, although you are a salted fish, you are still a salted fish among the big monsters." The two are worlds apart.
So this time, Qiu Ling did not dislike Yuan Yuanyuan's usual indifferent behavior, and still came to ask Yuan Yuanyuan. This shows that Qiu Ling's IQ is much higher than Tang Shi's. At least she did not really forget the boss's identity as a "big monster"... In fact, Yuan Yuanyuan herself sometimes forgets it, but now she really has some news in her hands.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the words on the mirror and pondered for a while.
This is just a coincidence, this thing was just sent here... Actually it's not a coincidence, such a big event will naturally attract more attention.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked carefully at the words used on it.
Negotiation?
She thought about it for a moment. He said he was organizing a negotiation team, but he didn't say he was going to bring the army directly over...
Thinking of this, Yuan Yuanyuan said to Qiu Ling, "Tell Tang Shi that everything is fine, don't try to scare her... Besides, it's not her turn to go up if something happens, she's just a brat who hasn't even graduated from high school."
"It's really alright, boss." Qiu Ling's tone suddenly became relaxed. "You're not lying to me, are you? I was so scared after hearing what Tang Shi said just now."
"Is everything alright for now? If anything goes wrong, you two won't be able to help."
"Boss, where did you get this information?" Qiu Ling asked, "Is this information reliable? Will something happen to someone as smart as me?"
When people hear some news, the first thing they pay attention to is whether the source of the news is reliable.
Yuan Yuanyuan was like this before, and every time something big happened, she was very worried, because the lower-level monsters really had too little monster power, so she suffered enough from the lack of information.
But this time... Yuan Yuanyuan looked down at her small mirror.
Source: Senior official.
...without any added colorant, purely natural.
First-hand news, exclusive and explosive.
Yuan Yuanyuan stared blankly for a few seconds, not knowing how to evaluate her inner feelings at that moment.
It always feels... quite strange?
She chatted for a few more sentences, but there was no way she could tell Qiu Ling the truth. She could only keep telling her not to be afraid and that everything would be fine. Then she hung up the phone, turned around, and went upstairs, holding onto the wall.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought that the senior management must be very busy at this time...but it had nothing to do with her, and no one would call her, so she just lay on the bed and took a good sleep.
…
The situation outside was very chaotic. During this time, monsters from all over the world had already known about this incident, and everything was in an uproar.
Liu An now lives in a place where monsters live, so all he hears are the news circulating among monsters. Relatively speaking, he would rather listen to what the Taoist priests say, because he thought the news was ridiculous when he first heard it.
Why did they arrest seven people for no reason and why has there been no response yet...
The relationship between youkai and humans has always been so tense, and it's easy for something to go wrong. How come there's still no explanation until now?
Liu An inexplicably felt as if his senses were blurred. He could not hear or see many things. The method of information transmission on the monster side was indeed a bit confusing for him. Until now, he had not seen an official statement, but the little monsters below were making a lot of noise.
I always feel... there's something weird going on. Or is it that the various systems that humans always get criticized for are still quite advanced compared to those of monsters?
Liu An now inexplicably wants to go back to his hometown to take a look. In fact, the two places are not far apart and it only takes less than two days to get there by train. However, he inexplicably feels that there is a chasm between the two... a chasm as big as the Pacific Ocean.
Liu An thought about this matter for a whole day and finally decided to go back to at least find out some of the situation. He also wanted to pass on some of the things he had seen recently.
Just when he mustered up the courage the next day and prepared to tell his boss that he might be missing for a month, his boss said calmly, "Ah? You're leaving too. It just so happens that I'm going out soon too... I was wondering how to arrange for you."
"Ah? Boss, you are going out too?" Liu An was stunned for a moment, but suddenly realized, "Ah, could it be that Boss, you are also..."
"Is it about the recent incident?" Yuan Yuanyuan took out a big box, stacked two sets of clothes she made herself in it, put in a few daily clothes, and finally started to pack up toiletries... After listening to Liu An's words, she turned around and said, "Recently, a lot of people have said that they want to go home to visit. C City has been a bit restless recently. I saw that the lady selling pancakes at the door has gone home, saying that she wants to go back to see her grandson first."
"Boss, are you going home too?" Liu An asked.
"Go home?" Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, "I'm right here at home now... Are you talking about going back to my hometown? My house in my hometown has been sold a long time ago... I have nowhere to stay if I go back, so why would I go back?"
Liu An looked at Yuan Yuanyuan and checked it again, then closed the box and took out a gold bar and gave it to him, "Use it on your way back. Come back early. Don't worry too much. There shouldn't be any problems ahead. If there is any problem, I will call you. You can react to it on your own and be smart."
…
After Liu An left, Yuan Yuanyuan carried her big suitcase and sat in the house, waiting for someone to come and pick her up.
I have already taken leave from the tavern, the rent there has been paid, the water and electricity have been turned off, and there is nothing left in the refrigerator... Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why she had the illusion that she was going on vacation, even though something big seemed to be happening at the moment.
Yuan Yuanyuan seldom waited for the bus so leisurely. She had some aftereffects from her escape a few years ago. She was often in a hurry when waiting for the bus, and sometimes she didn't even have time to tell the landlord. So she found it strange that she was so leisurely all of a sudden.
The sky outside is very clear today. In the middle of the night, the moon hanging in the sky looks like an oil painting...
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the sky and thought in boredom, when can I come? A few days ago, I told her to go to the negotiation group. With Yuan's current identity, it seems a bit awkward not to go.
Yuan Yuanyuan had no reason to refuse, but she still didn't know what she was going to do...negotiate? Isn't that a job for diplomats? She wasn't a professional.
Liu An went out in the afternoon and she was the only one in the store. Now it’s almost two o’clock in the morning... When will those people arrive?
Yuan Yuanyuan kept daydreaming like this. She felt extremely bored. When she was thinking about whether she should go to bed for a while, she suddenly saw a dazzling star in the sky.
This star lit up next to the moon. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at it in surprise. They say that the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, so why is this star so bright when it is so close to the moon?
In Yuan Yuanyuan's sight, the "star" grew bigger and bigger, until it filled Yuan Yuanyuan's entire field of vision...
Yuan Yuanyuan's mouth opened wider and wider...
The grass on the ground began to shake faintly, and then it gradually became faster and faster...
Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly felt that the big trees outside were shaking, and then a huge "houseboat" slowly descended above her head.
Everything was plunged into darkness... It was pitch dark on the street.
This is because the big ship blocked out the moonlight all around.
Yuan Yuanyuan pressed her chin back. When she looked up, she could only see the wooden boards on the bottom of the boat, so she looked further away.
In the darkness, she vaguely saw countless red, purple, and green lights... and those lights were on the "ship".
The ship looked very strange. It was so long that there was no end in sight. Yuan Yuanyuan looked over there and saw that two or three nearby communities and the school next to it were all under the cover of this "giant ship".
The ship had no way of stopping because they were afraid of crushing the tall buildings below, so they only descended to the height of the nearby residential buildings. The spire of the school bell tower next to them was almost poking the bottom of the ship.
Suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door, "Please get on board..."
In the pitch-black darkness, this sound was like the cry of a ghost.
Yuan Yuanyuan had a look of “what the hell” on her face, but the moment she picked up her suitcase and walked out the door, she immediately frowned.
She looked at the height above her head where the big ship had stopped... and suddenly it turned into a ball of red mist in the air...
The door was quiet for a few seconds, and suddenly the candles in the shop were extinguished and the door was gently closed.
Because the boat was too high from the ground and Yuan Yuanyuan had never been on one before, she simply used the Disha Technique to climb up.
When she first appeared on the "deck", she was suddenly stunned.
It was pitch black underneath the deck, but above it, the lights were bright.
Everywhere is just like... a lair of demons and monsters.
There were at least a hundred monsters gathered on the board, with bright lights on everywhere.
Every monster seemed to have walked out of an ancient painting... Not far away, a half-naked female demon was dancing in the open space.
The moment Yuan Yuanyuan appeared on the deck, the other monsters all looked towards her.
At least a hundred pairs of eyes emitting red or green light looked at Yuan Yuanyuan.
For a moment, the venue seemed to be silent for a second.
…
In that instant, Yuan Yuanyuan's heart also stopped for a second.
The feeling of being stared at by a hundred red eyes is not pleasant at all...at least Yuan Yuanyuan broke out in a cold sweat at that moment.
Especially when the monsters around here seem to be more difficult to deal with than each other.
The monsters on the opposite side were all graceful and elegant, and they were all dressed more or less like the actors in ancient costume dramas.
The beautiful hair was combed into one beautiful hairstyle after another. The hairpin on the head emitted a luxurious and enchanting light under the illumination of the enchanting fire.
The woman closest to Yuan Yuanyuan was holding a long cigarette in her hand, with red glints at the corners of her eyes, and the exposed half of her shoulder was covered with red clouds.
She took a lazily puff of her cigarette and looked Yuan Yuanyuan up and down.
Yuan Yuanyuan stood aside, wearing casual clothes and a pair of sneakers, holding a box with wheels, on which was printed Crayon Shin-chan.
"Do you need me to take your box to your room?" A voice suddenly said softly from the side.
Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and saw a girl in cheongsam... She had a slanted mane on her head and a pair of red lips that showed infinite charm.
"...I'll give it to you." Yuan Yuanyuan threw the box to her.
She almost ran away, following the cheongsam girl and hurried to her own place... She didn't dare to look back along the way.
