For Yuan Yuanyuan, it was a bit confusing to receive such a message suddenly, but she still packed her things and prepared to go. After all, it was easy for her to run back and forth.
Before leaving, Yuan Yuanyuan asked where Fanning should be now. The most effective way to find Fanning's whereabouts is to look for him in the Monster Record. It was during this time that she discovered that the Monster Record had a new issue.
Shit, what day is today?
Yuan Yuanyuan checked her calendar and realized that she had remembered the wrong date. She quickly opened the comic book issue that she had not read and started reading it carefully.
……Um?
……Um!
Yuan Yuanyuan read the comic from beginning to end, and after finishing it, she fell into a state of confusion.
This doesn't feel right.
Yuan Yuanyuan also took the opportunity to read the comments below, and after realizing that she was not the only one who felt that something was wrong, but that others also realized that something was wrong, she realized that Ji Qiu had maliciously deceived her into being gay.
How should I put it... Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the person standing by the door with a look of disdain. She had no objection to you being a homosexual to gain popularity, and she didn't want to be voted out next time. But it looked like her being a homosexual was already a malicious thing, and you had to pick such a person. Look at the person you picked...
The way you are makes it impossible for her to sell homosexuality. This guy makes her angry just by looking at him. She wants to kick him from behind. How can she sell this...are you a love-hate relationship?
Yuan Yuanyuan had a look on her face as if she had stepped on shit and closed her phone again. She vaguely knew how to find out where Fanning was. Fanning was currently in a place where wandering cultivators lived. She looked at the flowers blooming all over the mountain in the comics and knew that she should run to the south. Fanning himself was a child from the south, so the possibility that he was in the south now was higher.
After buying a train ticket and asking about the larger Taoist settlements in the south, Yuan Yuanyuan went there, carrying her clothes and mask on her back. She then left a note on the door, saying she would be back in a few days.
As a boss, she basically has no time to come back. This store is said to sell clothes, but to be honest, it seems that she has only sold a few sets of clothes.
Yuan Yuanyuan fell asleep while swaying on the train... The train took her to a southern city with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It was also a relatively large and ancient Taoist settlement. Yuan Yuanyuan planned to go there first to take a look.
After two nights of sleeping in the open on the train, Yuan Yuanyuan finally got off the train. Since that place was a Taoist settlement, outsiders could not enter casually. Yuan Yuanyuan planned to see where there were more people with spiritual powers nearby, and if she found one, she would sneak in...
If you ask her if she has ever thought about killing Fanning, she will clearly say no. First, he has the halo of the protagonist. She doesn't know how powerful this thing is, but looking at all the literary works, this thing seems to be very powerful. Second, she doesn't really want Fanning to die. If he dies, Yuan Yuanyuan always feels that humans might be doomed. In this respect, she is indeed a little spy for humans, serving humans wholeheartedly.
It’s not that Yuan Yuanyuan wants to serve monsters because she is a monster now. Her idea is more like “I am a monster, but I still prefer humans in my heart. Under normal circumstances, I will serve humans as long as those humans don’t treat me as another monster and treat me as hostile.”
It was a beautiful dream that they didn't regard her as another monster, but Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she was so fast that even if these people wanted to kill her, it would be difficult. As soon as she entered this strange southern town, she felt the moist air and breathed very comfortably.
Before coming here, I heard that clothes might dry slower in this place. It was also Yuan Yuanyuan's first time stepping into the south, so she didn't have too many ideas. She first used the chessboard technique to see who was nearby, and then slowly moved forward in one direction.
Yuan Yuanyuan took advantage of the day before it got dark and came to the place where she had sensed a lot of people using the chessboard technique. Although it was indeed her first time here, she could still hear so many voices. If it was a larger market, it would be fine, but in such a deep forest... so many people were really too obvious, unless it was a black mine.
When they got there, Yuan Yuanyuan saw a faint mist between the mountain gate and the woods next to it. The mist was very strange and looked green from a distance. Yuan Yuanyuan observed carefully and found that the green color came from the stone wall next to it.
When Yuan Yuanyuan approached, she tried hard to suppress the evil spirit on her body. Although she didn't know what it was used for, it must have cat stuff in it. Only when Yuan Yuanyuan walked smoothly through the green mist did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Beyond this green mist is a mountain. It is just the beginning of summer, but the mountain is so lush and green, as if it is midsummer. Compared with the outside, it doesn’t seem like two different seasons.
Yuan Yuanyuan touched it carefully. She was not sure what level of performance she had to go to satisfy that group of people. However, since she couldn't beat them, she would just listen to them. Faning and the like... she would let Faning go when the time comes. As the protagonist of The Demon Chronicle, since she let Faning go, Ji Qiu should not be so idle as to do something to her, right?
That was Fanning, a newbie at the moment. Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she could strangle Fanning to death in a matter of minutes. Yuan Yuanyuan walked away shaking her head, wondering if the people in that mysterious group had read any comics... People like the protagonist were not to be provoked, as they would easily become cannon fodder. Although everyone had to survive in this world, so she had no choice, she felt that hiding herself was the best way now.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought to herself, what should I do now that I see Fanning? Just talk to him about his parents and steal the talisman. After all, Fanning didn't hear what the talisman spirit said in the original work, right?
The best case scenario is that Fanning is actually a non-existent person, or is just a person created by Ji Qiu. In this way, she can take the talisman and get the job done.
While thinking this, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly saw a small mirror appear on the side of the road. There were a few lines of bright red words on the mirror, but it was too far away to see clearly.
But Yuan Yuanyuan was immediately startled.
No way...
She immediately ran over, squatted there and looked at the words on the small mirror.
It had "Go Left" written on it in bright red lipstick, and a big red arrow next to it.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked in the direction of the arrow, which was pointing in a distant direction.
She stood up, her eyes full of vigilance, and the moment she stood up, the small mirror below shattered with a "snap".
Along with the broken parts, there was also the line of words written in lipstick on it.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the broken mirror on the ground with a confused look on her face. She thought to herself, why are you doing this... This is like going there knowingly to go there.
She stopped, took out a small package from her body, and pulled out a piece of clothing and a mask from it...
When the mask was stuck on his face, he couldn't see anything. It was completely dark. Yuan Yuanyuan was complaining about what to do in this situation while practicing some chess tricks.
The chessboard technique can hear the heartbeats of people around, and can also vaguely sense nearby obstacles. Yuan Yuanyuan did not put it on at first, but took the mask in her hand and ran in the direction pointed by the mirror.
I have to say that it was a very bad start. After trying a few times, Yuan Yuanyuan took off the mask again... This was such a hassle. I wonder if the person who made the mask was stupid. She simply took off the mask and her clothes together, packed them up, and threw them here.
This place seems to be close to the edge, so there probably aren't many people coming here. Yuan Yuanyuan decided to come back and get it after finishing her business.
The further Yuan Yuanyuan walked, the more small mirrors she saw. They were on both sides of the road. Yuan Yuanyuan would take a look at each one she passed. Once her sight left the mirror, it would shatter.
She was a little suspicious that this was some kind of illusion. She had thought so last time because these mirrors were placed so carelessly on the road, as if no one could see them.
And the shattering effect is a bit exaggerated.
But Yuan Yuanyuan didn't meet anyone on the way here. This is really a magical thing. The mirror was like a guide, leading Yuan Yuanyuan through the streets and alleys, and finally to a small courtyard.
This yard... doesn't look like the ones in the comics at all. There's no similarity, and there's nothing special about it. Yuan Yuanyuan thought so, so she squatted on the top of the tree and looked down. When she saw a familiar face, she was shocked.
I told you this guy really exists! What the hell are you doing? This guy is walking around with such a face and none of you can spot him!
After Yuan Yuanyuan finished scolding the others for their waste, she saw the person under the tree looking up. He might not have noticed Yuan Yuanyuan's presence, but he might have just glanced at her by chance, and then happened to make eye contact with Yuan Yuanyuan...
For a moment, the yard was very silent.
Yuan Yuanyuan silently drew out the twin swords from her sleeves. Fanning below knew at a glance that Yuan's intentions this time were not good, unlike last time, so he slowly retreated.
As he took a step back, a knife stabbed into the ground behind him with a particularly clear "swish" sound.
Yuan Yuanyuan was lying on the tree, feeling so sad...
What she was worried about was more profound. She thought that she was lured here by Ji Qiu this time, which would basically be in the comics. So the problem came. After she was in the comics, the readers would know everything that happened here. Could she reveal the fact that she had joined that mysterious organization?
Definitely not.
So what is her purpose in coming here all the way here as a big monster?
This is worth discussing in detail.
Yuan Yuanyuan needs to make a move that satisfies three parties at the same time. The three parties are the high-level monsters, the mysterious organization, and the monster record readers.
To sum up the three, she had to take the talisman away, but at the same time, she had to prevent the monster leaders from suspecting what she was doing there, and at the same time, she had to save Fanning's life.
She wanted to choose death, but she also wanted to fight. Fanning looked at Yuan below, raised his head and asked cautiously, "What are you doing here?"
"...I came to see an old friend, but I didn't expect to meet you." Yuan Yuanyuan looked at him from the tree, with no emotion visible on her face.
When she said this, the villain in her heart burst into tears.
Well done, Yuan Yuanyuan! You did it! You successfully pulled off this lie!
It is possible that Yuan came to visit an old friend! This guy used to be an undercover agent for the Taoist priest!
Fanning's expression suddenly changed. Yuan Yuanyuan said, "It's okay. Don't be afraid. I'm not here for you this time."
Thinking about the non-existent old friend, Yuan Yuanyuan continued to scratch her head. Even though she looked like this, the organization told her to take Fanning's body back after seeing him... She definitely couldn't take the body back. She felt like a traitor in her heart, but how would she report to the organization after she returned?
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Fanning below, and suddenly remembered the legendary way for all villains to seek death - talk nicely and don't use force.
She was not going to tell Fanning a lot of life lessons - because she was not good at speaking, and if she got excited and spoke incoherently, it would be a joke, so she was going to prove it with actual actions.
Maybe I can also vent my anger at the trick played on me by Ji Qiu.
She threw out another knife, which just grazed Fanning's face. Seeing him hiding in a panic, she said from the tree, "It seems that Taoist priests nowadays...are much weaker than before."
Fanning looked up at her, and a hint of anger began to form in his eyes.
But he still looked respectful to Yuan Yuanyuan.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't care what expression he had when he looked at her. After all, the protagonist and supporting characters were naturally in opposing camps...so she used two knives to play a good trick on Fanning below.
Just like a cat playing with a mouse, she scratched Fanning's body until it was covered in blood within ten minutes, and unexpectedly discovered the location of his talisman, which was right in his left pocket.
Yuan Yuanyuan casually pulled it out and took it into her own hand. "How did this thing end up in your hand?"
"Senior, what do you want this for?" Fanning said while panting. "This is a relic of one of my elders. Can you give it back to me?"
"Give it back to you?" Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the talisman in her hand and suddenly smiled. "If you can take it, come and take it."
Fanning lowered his head and remained silent.
"But I think it may be difficult to fulfill your wish in a short time." Yuan Yuanyuan said as she stuffed the talisman into her pocket. "Wait until you can come and get it yourself, little one."
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the sky again and said, "Someone is coming this way. Little one, have you called for help?"
Fanning gently took out a talisman that looked newer from his pocket.
"Put the things back. I don't mean to offend anyone." Yuan Yuanyuan got the things and was in a good mood, so she ran back to where she came from.
A hint of red appeared in the air again, and then gradually dissipated.
…
Yuan Yuanyuan, who was as scared as a dog, took her package and prepared to go home immediately without staying for even a minute longer.
She was not afraid of those who came, but she had to find a reason to save Fanning's life.
How can she tell the organization when she returns... can she just say that an old injury suddenly recurred? If they ask her why she didn't just have a quick death... can she just say that she had a brain seizure?
Yuan Yuanyuan felt a headache on the way back. Finally, she thought, if all else fails, she could just give Ji Qiu up and say that Fanning was protected by a master, so she couldn't kill him and could only slash him a few times to vent her anger.
Who is this master?
A few autumn songs.
Yuan Yuanyuan and Ji Qiu lied unilaterally, hoping that he would not give her away, or at least not let the truth be revealed so quickly... In fact, as long as Fanning was alive, the truth would not be revealed.
While thinking about this, Yuan Yuanyuan quickly ran to the train station and returned home before the weekend.
