Chapter 289



Before the next comic strip came out, Yuan Yuanyuan made a special effort to observe Fanning and Yuan Yingli. They both seemed to be very calm. Even when something that happened some time ago was drawn, they were still as calm as if it had never happened.

This made Yuan Yuanyuan start to wonder if she had read a fake comic book... Later she thought about it and realized that she was also like this when she was on the comic book page. No matter how nervous or ashamed she was in her heart, she still looked calm on the surface...

At this moment, Yuan Yuanyuan calmed down.

She looked at the two people across from her through the curtain, and sometimes she found it quite interesting. She kept wondering what was going on in these two people's minds... At the same time, she thought that these two people should have already explained what they saw to each other, and she wondered what they were feeling in their hearts?

Yuan Yuanyuan had all sorts of thoughts in her mind. When the next comic was published, she read it as soon as possible. The content of the comic was exactly as she had guessed. Fanning and Yuan Yingli compared the content they saw in Hongshajing and found many different things.

[Fanning found that what he saw was about Yuan's past, while Yuan Yingli saw what was happening in Yuan's present. Yuan Yingli woke up earlier than Fanning, so he saw less.]

[The two men ran back with Changsheng's large Guandao in their hands, and when they reached their destination, they each breathed a sigh of relief.]

[“Now I think Changsheng is really amazing.” Yuan Yingli said, “Can he see these things every day?”]

[“I don’t think so. Didn’t we put the talisman on it again? Let’s go back early tomorrow morning.” Fanning said.]

[After the two of them cleaned up, they compared what they had seen. Fanning described the scene he had seen truthfully. After hearing this, Yuan Yingli was silent for a long time and said, "Is this the scene back then?"]

[“It should be.” Fanning said with a lingering fear, “I was wondering why I could see the weapons but not the bodies? It turns out they were all thrown into that well. How deep is that well?”]

[“I don’t know how deep the well is, but I know it’s very strange.” Yuan Yingli said, “You don’t know that the well broke down once before, and it was Yuan who repaired it then.”]

【“He fixed it? When?” Fanning asked casually. 】

[“A long, long time ago, to be exact, it was the first battle he won on the battlefield.” Yuan Yingli said unhappily while packing up his things and trying to put the knife away.]

[“…And then he was thrown into the well in the end?” Fanning suddenly felt like complaining, “Why did they throw him somewhere else but at the place where they won their first battle? How deep of a grudge is this? They wanted to leave a psychological shadow on him, didn’t they?”]

[“Anyway, the specific process is still quite disgusting, but fortunately, I was thrown into the Red Sand Well. I have always speculated that when Yuan was repairing the Red Sand Well, he might have discovered some secrets of the Red Sand Well, so when he was thrown in, he also found a way to stay alive.”]

【“Hey, what’s the solution?” Fanning suddenly became interested and went over to ask.】

【“You want to listen?” Yuan Yingli’s eyes were dead. 】

【Faning nodded with sparkling eyes.】

[“Then why don’t you jump down and try it yourself.” Yuan Yingli said, “It’s easy to say, but I’ve never been down there, so how would I know what he found? Besides, who would do this unless they were forced to do it?”]

Yuan Yuanyuan nodded silently. What the head of the Li family did back then was really too sour. She was shocked when she heard it.

Ordinary people would never do such a thing. Only someone with a unique way of thinking like the head of the Li family would do it.

【Fa Ning suddenly remembered something and asked Yuan Yingli what he saw beside the well. Yuan Yingli thought about it and said that he saw Yuan from half a year ago.】

[Half a year ago... Fanning thought to himself, at that time Yuan had not yet disappeared, and his reputation was also rotten to the streets, but later, they found that things were not that simple at that time.]

[At that time, there was some conflict between Yuan and humans, and the conflict seemed to be quite serious. I don’t know how the two sides calmed down, but they must have reached some agreement in the end.]

[At that time, neither Fanning nor Yuan Yingli knew what the agreement was, but this time Yuan Yingli felt that what he saw from the wellhead should be the agreement reached by both parties.]

[Fanning heard Yuan Yingli talk about the situation at that time - he also vaguely heard about the fate of the seven monsters at that time, which seemed not so good, but as a monster hunter, he could not find out much.]

[So when he heard that the seven monsters were thrown into the well, he was so shocked that his mouth remained open for a long time, "You monsters... are you all so crazy?"]

[“Actually, this is a very normal decision…” Yuan Yingli said, “The war regulations at that time caused too much damage to the monsters, basically cutting off the monsters’ way to harm humans without reason. Even if the seven monsters went back at that time, it would not be legitimate, so this can be regarded as a waste of resources.”]

[Fanning turned his head silently and looked at Yuan Yingli, thinking that he was indeed a monster... After all, he was different from humans, and his whole body smelled of blood.]

[Yuan Yingli didn't notice what Fanning was thinking. He continued, "Actually, I think this is still very strange... Why do you want Yuan to go over there? What use is Yuan?"]

[“And they took him to that place…” Fanning continued. Yuan Yingli said, “It doesn’t make sense. No matter how I think about it, it doesn’t make sense. Why did they take Yuan there?”]

【“Test?” Fanning asked. 】

Yuan Yuanyuan, who was in front of the comic, was startled and thought, "Are you testing me?" Shit, why didn't I see that?

She thought back to the situation at that time, and it really became more and more strange. There was no need for her to go, but she went anyway...

Why is this happening?

Half a year later, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly started thinking about this matter. Although it seemed a step late, she thought about it more seriously than anyone else...

[“Actually, I thought Yuan’s expression was a little strange at the time.” Yuan Yingli said, “There was an indescribable feeling.”]

Yuan Yuanyuan began to recall what her expression was at that time...it didn't seem like she had any strange feelings?

[Yuan Yingli and Fanning talked for a long time. Finally, Yuan Yingli said something that caught Fanning's attention. "When those people were thrown into the well, Houmian Yuan's eyebrows wrinkled."]

Yuan Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. So that was it... Then she understood. It was normal to frown. Anyone would frown when seeing several living people being thrown in.

What's more, the well was so weird that it exuded an evil aura. Yuan Yuanyuan felt a little scared subconsciously.

[“Then I thought about it again and realized that among all the people, only Yuan frowned.” Yuan Yingli said, “The others around him had no expression on their faces.”]

[“That may be because Yuan had a deep impression of Jing.” Fanning said with understanding, “So he frowned. Otherwise, a person like him probably wouldn’t change his expression at all.”]

[“…But I always feel that the people next to him are peeking at him.” Yuan Yingli said, “I don’t know if my feeling is right…but I just feel that the people next to him are peeking at him, although the extent of the peeking is very small, but they are definitely watching, these people are observing Yuan’s reaction.”]

Yuan Yuanyuan, who was reading the comic, suddenly felt creepy.

When she saw this, she stood up suddenly. She felt like she couldn't suppress the goosebumps all over her body. She was in a completely confused state of "What the hell, what's going on?"

This is what they call "fools have good fortune"... Half a year ago, Yuan Yuanyuan didn't realize that these people were testing her. Half a year later, she found out and suddenly felt that she could do nothing except being confused.

【“Why would you test him on this?” Fanning really didn’t understand this time.】

[“There are humans and monsters among that group of people…” Yuan Yingli said in a low voice, “So this group of people must have not only been tempted by humans, but also by monsters. Maybe this time… they were specially created for Yuan.”]

Yuan Yuanyuan: “Ah?”

[“These people are also trying to test whether it was Yuan himself who entered Hongshajing that year.” Yuan Yingli said. “If he entered in person, then his expression might change when he saw this scene. If he didn’t enter, then he would most likely remain indifferent.”]

[“So…” Fanning suddenly realized, “No wonder… they knew about Yuan’s poor health so long ago, and we were the only ones kept in the dark.”]

[“Yes, so now let’s calculate what forces those people who went there at that time belonged to?” Yuan Yingli asked.]

Yuan Yuanyuan stared at the comic in amazement, and suddenly understood why when she first joined the Mask Organization, everyone there knew that she "would not live long"... She thought it was a little strange at the time, but did not think much about it. Now, she figured it out all of a sudden.

So among that group of people at that time... were there people from the Mask Organization?

So what about the people in city C?

What about the people in the tavern?

Yuan Yuanyuan's mind started to work inexplicably faster. She racked her brains to recall how many people had gone there at that time, but she didn't remember it well at the time, and now it was even more vague. She couldn't remember how many faces there were at all.

In the middle of the night, Yuan Yuanyuan took her clothes and went out. She didn't even care about Fatty Cat who was woken up.

She took her luggage and rushed to the tavern to find the proprietress.
