"Where is your home?"

"…Uh, do you need to call the police?"

Yuan Yuanyuan was holding the girl, feeling like a mentally retarded person. She ran out of the pedestrian street covered in blood, with a bunch of people following her.

Standing on the street, she couldn't even figure out what she had just done. Looking at the girl next to her, her eyes were blurred.

...Where are the police?

Yuan Yuanyuan thought about how tough she had been just now, and felt that the small pub where she worked had been smashed so badly that she might not even recognize it. She looked at her location, took out her phone, opened Sogou Maps, and searched for the local Public Security Bureau...

The girl next to her silently watched Yuan Yuanyuan search for the location of the Public Security Bureau on her phone, and then saw a look of sudden enlightenment appear on Yuan Yuanyuan's face, and he hugged the girl and jumped onto another roof.

I wonder if the girl noticed the broken phone Yuan Yuanyuan bought four years ago, and the various scratches on the screen...

I guess once this matter is linked to the government agencies among humans, the monsters will stop pursuing us.

…

Yuan Yuanyuan returned home with a bunch of medicine in her hands, including hydrogen peroxide, gentian violet and the like.

Then she went into the bathroom, closed the door tightly, lifted her clothes, and used the gauze left over from last year to wipe the blood off her body.

Some places had already dried up, and she had to peel off the dried blood scabs and the clothes that were stuck to her body little by little before applying it again.

Just now, the blood on her body gave off a very strange smell, which she had never smelled before. But when she returned home and lifted the illusion, the smell returned to her own.

After she finished painting, she looked at the time and found that it was already past her usual dinner time.

She went out when it was just getting dark. Usually she went to work as soon as it got dark and got off work at two or three in the middle of the night. Today, she fought with those people and got home earlier than usual, finishing at nine o'clock.

When Yuan Yuanyuan stood up, she still felt a little weak. She climbed up with great difficulty, threw the gauze, cotton swabs and other things into the trash can, then walked to the kitchen and took out a bag of instant noodles, two eggs, and a handful of green onions.

While cooking instant noodles, she looked across from her house. From the outside, everything there looked very normal, as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Yuanyuan threw the seasoning into the pot, then started chopping green onions and poured the remaining ribs and soup into the pot.

I don't know if I can go to work tomorrow...

As she was thinking this, she suddenly took out a small peace pendant from her neck.

Judging from the patterns on this peace pendant, it should be made of jade. When you shine a light on it, it appears completely white.

The peace pendant was given to her by Ji Qiu. It is a very traditional way for monsters to communicate. However, Yuan Yuanyuan had only seen people using stones to communicate over the years. This was the first time she had seen such a method using jade.

However, Yuan Yuanyuan remembered that when Ji Qiu gave it to her, the jade was clearly red.

Yuan Yuanyuan stuffed the jade back into her pocket, served the noodles, poured a cup of tea and ate it all by herself in silence. Then she wiped her mouth, went into the bedroom, and took out the jade again.

She didn't forget what he said to her a few autumns ago.

【What would you do if you had another identity? 】

...I really do a lot of chuunibyou things.

Before carefully checking the information inside the jade, Yuan Yuanyuan thought it would be something magical, like "Ji Qiu might reveal a little about his future plans in it", "How can she stay alive safely", "Are you a main god or something like that? Is your original form an egg?" But when she really read the first line of words, she was stunned.

…Wow, damn, “居” are actually traditional Chinese characters.

…

"Yuanyuan, something happened in the pub yesterday. Don't come for now. Let's talk about it in a few days." Yuan Yuanyuan got up early in the morning and heard the news from Sister Xue.

She didn't find it strange at all and just lay back down, hugging her pillow.

I wonder if the pub will pay her on time this month.

Maybe they will deduct employees' wages and use the money to repair the house?

Yuan Yuanyuan turned over again. Although she didn't know what the boss would arrange, it was not easy for her to ask this as she had only been working for a few days.

Maybe... the next comic will show whether her boss will deduct her salary.

Some strange things inexplicably popped up in Yuan Yuanyuan's mind... Ji Qiu carefully drew her boss's face on the comic, and then wrote next to it, "Oh, the house is destroyed, should I deduct the employees' wages..."

Well, Ji Qiu probably won't be that free.

The sun was already high in the sky, but Yuan Yuanyuan still hadn't gotten up. She had stayed up until four in the morning last night and translated the first few paragraphs of the text. Excuse me for being frank, but those few lines of text were not only in traditional Chinese, but also in classical Chinese.

She held the traditional-simplified Chinese converter in her hand and translated it by comparison. After working through half the night, she only managed to translate a little bit and was feeling overwhelmed.

But she also realized that those words did not seem to be what Ji Qiu said, but a...some kind of witchcraft?

"When the Yin soul embraces the One, can it make a sound? It walks on behalf of the sky and returns to being a baby..."

Yuan Yuanyuan thought back to the few lines in the text and felt that she had...spent all those years of studying in vain.

But she could still understand the meaning of the introduction at the beginning. It was about a very powerful monster who wrote a book introducing some unique magic he had created over the years. The words were quite powerful, such as "He has been issuing orders for decades and acting on behalf of the monsters."

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that this book was like a summary of the unknown monster's life experiences. Almost all of his experiences were written in it, but Yuan Yuanyuan really couldn't understand so many traditional Chinese characters.

There are some very sensitive words in this piece of jade, which attracted Yuan Yuanyuan's attention. For example, the word "blood" has the same traditional and simplified Chinese characters. I have to say that although this piece of jade seems to be very powerful, there are actually very few things recorded on it. If it were put on paper, there would only be a few thin pages.

However, Yuan Yuanyuan roughly counted the number of times the word "blood" appeared on these few pages, about 40 to 50 times...

These traditional Chinese characters include not only common ones, but also some very rare ones, such as “廗” and “亖”, which are purely challenging people’s knowledge and cognition. In addition, due to the classical Chinese, it is very difficult to translate them.

...Yuan Yuanyuan turned over. She knew that it was a book that looked very cool. It was very likely a cheat given to her by Ji Qiu. After all, as a "supporting male role", she herself was too weak. In fact, some of the things Ji Qiu said last night were meaningful.

[This identity is very mysterious, powerful, and 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? ]

Very mysterious, very powerful, very charming, these are actually not what Yuan Yuanyuan can achieve now.

She is now a typical weakling, knowing very little about the world of monsters, and even making jokes. She simply doesn't ask about things she doesn't understand, and has received fewer beatings in recent years.

Ji Qiu gave her this thing, definitely wanting her to learn from it.

The problem is... Yuan Yuanyuan now vaguely senses that the thing is a bit evil.

She really didn't like that thing.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she was actually a bit stupid. To be honest, she once thought in her middle school years that if someone put a "martial arts secret book" in front of her, she would definitely learn it.

But when she was really faced with this situation, she found that it was not the case. Just like other young men who opened a secret book and saw the words "Ultimately strong and masculine, utmost goodness and purity" at the first glance, the first page she opened the book was "To practice this skill, you must first xx"...

Any normal person would have to think about this for a few more seconds.

Ahem, although this may not be some strange martial arts secret book, the frequency of the word "blood" alone is so high. In addition to this word, there are some more sensitive words, such as [殘], [屍], etc...

...What kind of weird effects would this thing produce?

Yuan Yuanyuan has not yet translated the entire book, but unexpectedly she does not want to translate any further.

Sleep a little longer and we'll talk about it later.

With such a desperate mentality, Yuan Yuanyuan quickly fell asleep again...

…

But for some reason, after waking up in the afternoon, she picked up the dictionary and started translating again.

Or maybe she has no strength at all... If she had a powerful aunt, uncle, or seventh uncle who could teach her some powerful tricks, why would she have to translate this stuff by herself in secret?

Although this thing seems unreliable... it is the only thing related to witchcraft that she can get access to now. At worst, she can just translate it and not learn it. It is not bad to just look at the life experience of this big monster over the years.

"What does this line of words mean...it's talking about..." Yuan Yuanyuan frowned as she translated. Suddenly, she heard someone knocking on the door. She quickly put the jade back into her neck, walked over, looked through the cat's eyes, and opened the door.

Xiaoying stood at the door, looked at Yuan Yuanyuan, and asked mysteriously, "Sister Yuanyuan, did you buy this issue of "Dream Man"? "

"Ah? Which issue?" Yuan Yuanyuan glanced at her small bookshelf. Ever since she appeared in the comics, she has developed the habit of buying two issues every month.

"There is a small card in the last issue of Dream Man. Can you give it to me?" Xiaoying asked anxiously outside.

"Okay." Yuan Yuanyuan walked over, picked up the book, and took out the postcard-style cards inside.

Nowadays, most magazines have this thing and it is often used for reader feedback.

"What do you want this for?" Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly asked before Xiaoying took it. Xiaoying took it and thanked her. Then she said, "This issue of Dream Man has organized an official popularity ranking of comic characters. Don't you know that?"

"...Ah?" Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly uttered a single sound. She stood at the door, looked at Xiaoying and shouted again, "Ah?"
