The old man told Fanning things he had never heard before, and he found the details very interesting.

"When we came here, this place was even more desolate than it is now," the monster said, "but there were still many monsters left at that time, because Master Yiqi was here at that time."

"Just because he's here, you all stay?" Fanning asked.

"Yes." The monster's eyes were a little confused. "At that time, the northwest was one of the most dangerous places. The settlement had not yet become an empty city. There were countless monsters behind us. If we left, these monsters might all die."

"Master Yiqi is really a good man. With him here, all humans are terrified." The monster said, "At that time, we really thought we would succeed. We were about to win the war. We were invincible. Wherever we went, everyone was afraid of us."

Fanning thought that this person really treated him as a monster. If he were a human, he would definitely not say such a thing, and even if he did, he would not use such a brotherly tone.

"But I think you and your master are really different." The old man looked at Fanning and suddenly patted his shoulder kindly. "Your master never went out like this. If he went out, he would definitely put on the most complete makeup, wear the most luxurious clothes, and bring a few beauties with him."

Fanning laughed awkwardly, using this kind of thing as a joke... He thought about the owner of the clothing store who was always dressed in black and lying on his stomach reading comics, and silently said to the monster in front of him, I'm sorry, the Yiqi of that year has now evolved into a decadent otaku...

And with his limited imagination, he really couldn't imagine how the man who always slept on his stomach in the store could be surrounded by a group of beautiful women.

After all… during the time he worked for Fanning, he had to expose a cruel thing—that person even spent the Chinese Valentine’s Day alone, maybe Tang Shi would send him a box of cookies…

Could such a person be so particular back then?

Maybe life at the bottom of the well was not easy, so after staying there for so long, he became a lot rougher.

As Fanning was thinking this, he heard the monster in front of him stop teasing and continue to recall, "What year was that? I can't remember exactly. It was shortly before the defeat. There was no sign that we would lose the war. We all thought the war would end soon, but we didn't expect it to end this way."

"Now that I think about it, there were indeed some signs back then. For example, Master Yiqi rarely chatted with the envoys who came to visit. I was a soldier standing at the door at the time. A few times when he saw the envoys coming, the smile on Master Yiqi's face disappeared, but I didn't expect..."

"So when did you learn about my master's death?" Fanning asked.

"How would I know?" The monster said, "One day I heard some commotion ahead. Within a day, someone spread the news that Yiqi was a traitor, and he had already been executed."

"I was still earning money, waiting for Master Yiqi to come back. Suddenly, many people rushed into his account and rummaged through everything."

"Then there was chaos and commotion... Lord Li Siqun suddenly showed up and took charge of the situation, but he was also seriously injured at the time, so he only stayed for a while before being taken back."

Fanning was strangely silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked with a bright face: "May I ask who was in charge of the situation at that time?"

"Lord Li Siqun." said the monster.

Fanning clenched his fists and waved them in the air for a few times, making some ambiguous movements for a while, then he calmed down and said to the monster, "Please continue."

Oh my god... He was wondering why all the monsters here were so vicious and cruel. It turned out that the leader who had been cursed by him thousands of times in recent days was Li Siqun.

Li Siqun and Yuan are well-known good friends, but for some reason, Fanning feels scared every time he sees Li Siqun. Compared with seeing Yiqi, the feeling is completely different.

It was fear, a feeling similar to the shadow of childhood. The first encounter in the pub that year left a deep impression on him. Until now, he dared not be too presumptuous in front of the four groups, even though he heard a few days ago that he had some hidden illness, he still did not dare to do so.

"Before long, this place became completely deserted, and the monsters that were originally here also left and dispersed."

"Did you fight in the latter war?" Fanning asked.

"Yes." The monster said with a wry smile, "Look at my arm."

He showed his arm to Fanning, and Fanning saw that there was a deep knife wound on the arm, almost revealing the bone.

"Almost all of the old soldiers who stayed behind at that time participated in the Second War. After all, there were still some monsters living here at that time. If we left, there would be no civilians left here now." The monster said, "In order to protect this place at that time, we also used some forbidden techniques, so now we have aged into this state, and we may not live for many years."

"Then why don't you leave now?" Fanning asked.

"We've been here for so long, we've gotten used to it," the monster said, "and Master Yiqi should be here too, we want to keep him company."

Fanning was silent for a second, bowed slightly to the old man, then turned and walked out. The spy monster who had just listened to him and seemed about to cry was stunned, and hurriedly followed him out.

"What's wrong?" asked the female monster.

"It just sounds a bit painful." Fanning said.

"It is a bit uncomfortable." The female monster nodded.

Fanning walked out, saying as he walked, "What do you think 17 means to the people living here?"

"He is a very reliable general, and he is also likely to be a kind of belief." said the female monster.

"Faith?" Fanning asked.

"Anyway, for our spy camp, Lord Yiqi is indeed a belief." The female monster said with a smile.

Yuan's image reappeared in Fanning's eyes, and he thought to himself that this person... didn't look like someone who would be involved in this matter at all. No matter from which angle he looked at it, it didn't look like that.

The other person is more like the type who stays in the house every day, finds a small place, has a book, or a cup of Coke, and thinks life like this is pretty good.

Of course, as a social animal, humans cannot live like that... The same goes for monsters. Moreover, if you think about it carefully, the money to buy books and Coke, as well as a room where you can drink Coke and read quietly, and the leisurely mood when reading, all require a lot of effort.

To achieve this goal, ordinary people may only need time, money and health, but for Yuan, it may require more.

Moreover, if a person has a stronger sense of justice, then when he sees many people suffering outside, he probably won't be able to completely calm down and close the door to drink Coke, right?

Fanning turned around and walked out, calling someone over, asking them to properly settle the monsters in the city. There were not many of them, only a few dozen in total, and these were all the old subordinates who stayed behind.

Yuan Yuanyuan kept sneezing in the house today, and her brain was about to come out. She rubbed her nose and thought, this is not good. Who is talking about her behind her back?

Layer upon layer of waves appeared on the sky cover, looking like fat on a fat man's belly... uh, this description is a bit weird.

"How come these people haven't been caught yet?" Yuan Yuanyuan was just watching the excitement at first, but she gradually discovered that these people had a terrifying tenacity. And they were definitely not simple characters. That trick was close to the top level.

Even under the siege of so many people, they were still able to escape unscathed. So far, there has been no news of the security team catching any of them.

"I don't know why they let this guy come here." The lady boss raised her head and said with some sadness, "Shouldn't they send the big guys to attack the city? Why did they think of calling in a group of sorcerers?"

"Yeah, I'm also confused." Yuan Yuanyuan sniffed, "And why have they been trying to rush in for so long?"

"Now that I think about it, our thinking was wrong from the beginning." The lady boss said, "These magic monsters can't get in at all... This is the formation you set up back then. If you set up the formation now, maybe they can still get in and play..."

"Hello."

"For ordinary monsters, I might be able to treat them as crazy, but a sorcerer of this strength would never do such a thankless task, so they must have other purposes."

Yuan Yuanyuan was shocked. "Could it be that they have figured out a way to break the cover?"

"You're overthinking this." The lady boss stood up and said, "I'll send someone to see what they're doing. Don't go out during this time."

Yuan Yuanyuan looked up at the waves in the sky. There was a particularly agile monster fiddled with something on top of a cover.

The boss lady was right to tell Yuan Yuanyuan not to go out, because her hands were itching. She looked at the monster in the sky and suddenly wanted to compete with it herself. It was at this time that Yuan Yuanyuan discovered that she was quite fond of magic.

When the cover is touched, it will react and emit a burst of light, so the person now looks like a shining little star hanging in the sky.

"Please take a look." The female monster from the spy camp took Fanning to a place, "This is the meeting hall of the monsters back then."

"It's too exaggerated..." Fanning stared at the ground in amazement.

There was a pattern made up of countless bright red jade beads, which looked like a nebula.
