Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Tang Shi, and Tang Shi looked at Yuan Yuanyuan. Tang Shi had just handed Yuan Yuanyuan a cup of warm tea. Yuan Yuanyuan took a sip and then held it in her hands.

The atmosphere between the two was inexplicably awkward.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that there was only a slight difference between her face and her former boss's, and that the difference was basically negligible. But in Tang Shi's eyes, the difference seemed huge.

Yuan Yuanyuan took another sip of milk tea. Actually, she was still worried that some big monster would follow her. But after calculating the time, six or seven hours had passed and no big monster had followed her. She guessed that everything was really fine.

She glanced at Tang Shi again. Tang Shi had been playing with his phone with his head down. Unless he was talking to Yuan Yuanyuan, he would never look up at her. Yuan Yuanyuan called Tang Shi's name, and Tang Shi raised his head as if he was suddenly awakened.

This won't do... Why does it always feel like Tang Shi is a little frightened? Yuan Yuanyuan didn't want to talk to this kid who seemed to be her apprentice in such an awkward way, so she decided to say something similar to what she used to say to Tang Shi when she was the boss.

She said, "Is there anything to eat? I'm a little hungry."

Tang Shi exclaimed, "Ah!" and quickly put down her phone. She said, "Yes, yes, yes, wait a minute, I'll get you some right away."

She turned and walked out, and Yuan Yuanyuan followed her down. She felt her legs were a little weak and her body was a little unflexible, so she walked along holding on to the wall.

After leaving the bedroom, there was their living room. Yuan Yuanyuan had been here before, so she recognized it at a glance. Tang Shi's home was decorated in a warm atmosphere. The windows were closed at this time, and the curtains were all put down, blocking the scenery outside the window.

Yuan Yuanyuan lifted a corner to look at the scenery outside. It was almost dawn, but the red color in the sky was still so scary. Combined with the early morning sunlight, it looked extremely weird.

Wouldn't this scare ordinary people? Yuan Yuanyuan thought.

But she remembered that there were countermeasures for this kind of situation... There had been cases in the past where monsters had fought each other and the streets were covered with mosaics. The next day, the monsters in charge of this area would immediately clean up the place. There was even a department in City C that was specifically responsible for this kind of thing.

This is what Yuan Yuanyuan heard when she was working in City C. However, she felt that the monsters might not be able to come out to clean up today because the fight has not yet been completed.

The only good news was that the war was taking place in the air, so it didn't cause much trouble for pedestrians on the ground. Although she didn't think this was good news either.

Maybe there will be a temporary ceasefire when day comes... Monsters don't like to expose their things in the daytime.

Yuan Yuanyuan lowered the curtains and smelled a pleasant aroma. She walked over and saw that Tang Shi had cooked a bowl of instant noodles with eggs, ham and other things in it and placed it on the table.

Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly felt energetic after smelling the food. She walked over and started to eat it voraciously.

While eating, Tang Shi looked at Yuan Yuanyuan silently, wanting to say something several times but stopping himself.

"You closed the curtains? That's smart of you." Yuan Yuanyuan said, "But why did you light mosquito coils in this weather?"

"I was wondering if I could cover up your scent..." Tang Shi said, "I heard that the demonic aura on the big monster is very strong..."

"I'm a special monster, I don't have any smell at all." Yuan Yuanyuan said, "Turn it off quickly, why would you light this now?"

"Is it really that powerful?" Tang Shi came over and asked, Yuan Yuanyuan still had an egg in her mouth. "Look, have you smelled anything from now on?"

"I thought only big monsters could smell that smell." Tang Shi said in a low voice.

Yuan Yuanyuan now felt that there was something past between the two of them. She finished a full bowl of food but still felt hungry and unfulfilled. She wanted to open her mouth to eat something more, but suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

While they were struggling, Tang Shi got up to get something. When he came back, he took out a plastic bag and dumped it on the table. A bunch of puffed food spilled out...

Then the two of them sat at the table and ate potato chips. Each of them opened a bag and sat facing each other to eat.

"Where's your dad?" The two chatted about random things while eating. Yuan Yuanyuan asked where Lao Niu was, and Xiao Niu said, "My dad is not at home."

"I told you your dad isn't at home... If he was, there's no way I would let you carry me back. You're simply asking for your life." Yuan Yuanyuan said while licking her fingers.

"Your original face is more handsome than the boss's face." Tang Shi said, "It seems that there is not much difference, but this face looks... a little scary."

"What does being handsome have to do with being scary?" Yuan Yuanyuan said. Tang Shi asked, "Boss, how have you been lately?"

"It's still the same old thing."

"Same old...are you still reading comics and drinking Coke every day?"

"That's about right."

"You're just bragging..."

The two men talked for a while, and then the sky got light. Yuan Yuanyuan went over to take another look, and the fighting was temporarily suspended, but after the sky got bright, it seemed as if there was a layer of blood mist in the sky...

Yuan Yuanyuan felt horrified watching this. She wondered if this scene could be explained by air pollution. It seemed a bit suspenseful.

"By the way, boss, why did you suddenly collapse on the street yesterday?" Tang Shi asked, "Did you suddenly become ill?"

"You're the one who's having a seizure." Yuan Yuanyuan said. She looked at the height where Tang Shi's house was and suddenly thought of something. She turned around and asked Tang Shi, "Hey, did anyone come over and take something away from you yesterday? Was it a thin, long thread?"

"What is it? Silk?" Tang Shi asked, "How can I see something like silk? I'm not an eagle..."

"I wonder if you live at a high place, so you might be able to see it?" Yuan Yuanyuan said.

The thin thread she was talking about was the one that happened at a comic convention a long time ago. That person took out a very thin, short silver thread. As soon as he took it out, Yuan Yuanyuan fell to her knees... It's been almost a year, and she still doesn't know what that thing is.

But she was frightened for a while, then she relaxed. First, she was injured but still able to stand up, and second, there was only one thing at the time, and it was carefully put away, so it seemed that there should not be many.

Yuan Yuanyuan knew that Tang Shi didn't see anything, so she stopped asking. She thought that she should hurry home while she still had some strength, otherwise she would not be able to go back if that thing came out again at night.

But at this moment, Tang Shi suddenly said, "I suddenly remembered... a few strange monsters came yesterday, but I didn't see what they took. They burned something on the roof of our house."

"What was burned?" Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and looked at Tang Shi, wondering what was burned? That kind of silver thread?

That's impossible... Isn't that just one thing? But what is that thing? Why is it so powerful?

"I felt like they were burning something," Tang Shi said, "because after they burned it, there was a gust of wind...it seemed like they were spreading the wind into the city."

Yuan Yuanyuan, who was not very interested at first, was suddenly stunned when she heard this. She turned her head and said "Huh", and quickly asked about the details of the Tang poem.

…

After returning home, Yuan Yuanyuan felt groggy and ate an apple while lying on the bed. The fat cat tried to get close to her, but Yuan Yuanyuan threw him away. She didn't want him to notice that something was wrong with her.

She lay in bed, thinking about the details of that night... It seemed that a group of people came from the other side, stood on the top of the tall building, set something on fire, and then used magic to blow the scattered powder all over the place.

City.

How much of that stuff did these people use? Was it just in one place in the city, or was it in many places?

But what exactly was that silver thread? Yuan Yuanyuan could still remember what it looked like: not very long, but thin.

Yuan Yuanyuan was thinking hard about this question. The fat cat came over persistently and was held down by Yuan Yuanyuan. "Tell me what this silver thread is...what on earth is it?"

"Silver? Three thousand silver?" Fat Cat was stunned. "Have you watched some rubbish ancient idol drama recently that has made you crazy... Why are you suddenly asking such a sour question?"

Yuan Yuanyuan's hand that was touching the cat's head paused.

Hair...

By the way, that silver thread looks like white hair...

The fat cat over there continued to complain, "You suddenly asked me what silver thread is... How should I answer this question? Oh... But I suddenly remembered the little cat next door that I liked when I was still a kitten... When she got married, I really wanted to go directly to the enemy monks, but I was afraid that I would be killed by them first... By the way, if the cat shaves its head, will it be bald..."

She sat up suddenly, and the fat cat next to her was startled. Yuan Yuanyuan quickly put on her clothes and ran towards the tavern. She wanted to find the proprietress and ask her what was going on.

Before entering the restaurant, she had to clock in and tell the restaurant that she had taken the female students home yesterday. Yuan Yuanyuan came over from the kitchen first and saw Siqun squatting there. She greeted Siqun, who looked up at her and then kept staring at her.

Yuan Yuanyuan was afraid that Siqun would be able to see something. In fact, her health was not very good yet. There were many bruises on her skin, which were quite painful to touch.

She quickly cut her face, left the kitchen, and went back to her usual place.

However, today, before she even entered the door, she saw the proprietress waiting anxiously outside. When the two met, the proprietress suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

What happened? Yuan Yuanyuan stood at the door, a little at a loss. Did she also know about her tragic experience last night?
