"So beautiful..." The woman in pink stood aside, holding a peach blossom, gently brushing the corners of Yuan Yuanyuan's eyes.

She stood there, just like the people in those ancient paintings that Yuan Yuanyuan had seen before, with peach blossoms flying around her like countless butterflies.

"Let me take a look." The woman leaned forward and asked, "Which monster are you?"

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the beautiful woman in pink in front of her. There was not a single part of her body that was not exquisite, even her fingertips were a beautiful light pink.

But now she couldn't say a word, she just felt as if she was bitten by ants all over her body. She could only lie on the ground, just like the girl lying in the pavilion just now.

She saw the woman’s embroidered shoes, which were also embroidered with peach blossoms, pink in color, just like the colors of spring.

In her eyes, the beautiful woman in front of her seemed like the legendary Yaksha.

"Pain is a good thing. It reminds you that you are alive." The woman in front of him chuckled. "It goes deep into your bones and soul, and brings you the deepest memories. These memories are usually unforgettable for a lifetime."

Yuan Yuanyuan believed what she said. She felt pain all over her body. The woman just took advantage of her inattention and blew a handful of light pink powder on her body, and she became like this.

She thought secretly in her heart...you damn witch.

The woman gently picked up the red jade around her neck with her hands, and her peach pink nails reflected the blood-red jade.

Her hands were warm and had a charming fragrance.

"Third Battalion, Seventh Squadron, Lieutenant General..."

As the woman was reciting, her eyes suddenly became dazed. "Team Seven of the Third Battalion?"

Yuan Yuanyuan's lips were bleeding from being bitten by herself. She knew that if she didn't react now, she might never be able to do it again in her life.

A line of words flashed through her mind almost instantly. She had memorized this line of words so well that it flashed into her mind like lightning.

The first incantation from the Ruby Hex.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt her heart was trembling, but another kind of flame began to burn in her heart, burning more and more vigorously, and finally turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Countless black and red lines seemed to appear everywhere. Yuan Yuanyuan, who was lying on the ground, looked at these lines and felt that they were as chaotic as a pipa being played randomly.

The lines slowly gathered together again, vaguely like a frame, framing the two people.

The woman was still looking at the words on the jade, but a slight smile appeared on her lips, "You are not obedient."

…

"What's going on over there?" In the tavern, Sister Li stood up and looked at a place not far away, "A red light rising into the sky..."

The pub had just closed and she was making her bed to go to sleep. As soon as she lay down, she was awakened.

Over there, a red light that only monsters can see spread across the sky.

"What's going on? Is there a big monster going to be paraded through the streets?"

"That's impossible. It's almost dawn. There's no point in parading now."

Sister Li Zi looked at the light, opened the closet, and saw that Siqun was still asleep and not awakened, so she quietly walked out and locked the door.

Almost all the monsters in the tavern were awakened. Many of them hurried over, leaned on the windows, and looked at this rare spectacle, exclaiming in amazement.

"What happened? Go back to bed quickly." A woman wearing pink gauze pajamas and with her hair loosely tied up shouted to the people in the lobby.

Although everyone was somewhat dissatisfied, they could not resist the urging of the proprietress and went back to sleep one by one. Only Sister Li was left standing in the lobby, continuing to look out of the wooden carved window.

"Auntie, what is that?" Sister Li Zi asked the proprietress behind her.

"I don't know." The lady boss shook her head. "But the red light is so strong, it's probably not a good thing. Let's close the doors and windows tightly and no one should go out."

Yuan Yuanyuan lay on the ground, feeling as if her blood was about to boil dry. An indescribable feeling of heat and emptiness came over her. She thought to herself...is this the feeling? Why do I feel something is wrong?

Just as she was thinking about it, the girl in pink opposite her picked up the peach branch again and hit her hard. This time, she felt like she was hit on the heart, and her heart ached.

She took a deep breath and continued to recite it silently in her mind.

"There are 137 people in the 7th team of the 3rd battalion. All of them were killed. Which one are you?"

She saw the woman walk around and squat in front of her, with a look of reminiscence in her expression, "Oh... Could it be that it's someone who is not mentioned on the tombstone?"

Yuan Yuanyuan could hardly hear what she said now, and she felt that her ears might have been bleeding.

She recited the formula ten times silently, then bit the tip of her tongue with her teeth and felt a sweet taste filling her mouth.

"Tell me... If you don't, I will take it as you admit it." The woman's hand gently stroked Yuan Yuanyuan's neck.

"I said..." Yuan Yuanyuan struggled and threw out a blood-red vine, which wrapped herself tightly, "I said your sister."

"Oh, so that's it." The woman pushed aside Yuanyuan's hair, looked at the skin next to her ear, chuckled and said, "I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be a painted skin ghost, a monster that only knows how to lie."

Yuan Yuanyuan did not hear the woman's last words. She wrapped herself tightly and felt as if her whole body and brain were about to burn. A feeling of discomfort she had never experienced before spread throughout her body.

In a daze, she tossed and turned countless times, trying to get rid of the heat that felt like being burned by fire. Several times she wanted to faint, but a confused voice echoed in her ears.

"Don't forget!"

"You must not forget!"

…

"Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

When Yuan Yuanyuan opened her eyes, it was already bright. She looked at the person in front of her who called her and found that it was an old lady who got up for morning exercises.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yuan Yuanyuan waved her hands quickly. She looked around and all the illusions around her had disappeared, including the peach blossom pavilion and the woman in pink.

She just lay on a bench in the park and spent the day like a homeless person.

Yuan Yuanyuan got down from the bench and stumbled. She smiled at the old lady, then turned around and looked at the pavilion from last night with a blank expression. It was empty.

Where are the people?

Yuan Yuanyuan tried hard to think about what happened last night. She vaguely remembered that last night seemed very chaotic.

After she recited the incantation, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Then, she heard what the woman said, and then she saw two more red vines appearing on her body...

Yuan Yuanyuan stumbled back home. She felt that she was in a very bad condition. Fortunately, Xiaoying was not at her house. She lay on the bed, and she felt dizzy and her dreams were filled with dark scenes and blood-red light.

When she woke up again, she was awakened by a loud knock on the door.

"Yuanyuan? Yuanyuan, are you home?"

Yuan Yuanyuan recognized that it was Sister Xue's voice. She stumbled off the bed, opened the door, and found that there were two people standing at the door.

"Sister Lizi? Why are you here? Come in." Yuan Yuanyuan quickly let the two of them into the house. Sister Xue glanced at Yuan Yuanyuan and asked, "What have you been doing these days?"

"Where have you been? I didn't do anything." Yuan Yuanyuan said.

"You know you haven't been to work for three days. I thought you were eaten by a monster." Sister Li said.

"Ah?" Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, "Three days?"

Sister Li was right, she did sleep for three days.

When she sat in the kitchen and drank the millet porridge, Yuan Yuanyuan was still a little dazed.

"It's been a bit uneasy here lately, with some big monsters fighting each other. I was afraid you'd get dragged into it, but who knew you'd slept for three days." Sister Xue said.

"When she was at work that day, I saw that she was drowsy the whole time, as if she was not feeling well. I asked her if anything was wrong, but she insisted that no," said Sister Li Zi.

Yuan Yuanyuan was drinking porridge, still thinking in her mind, three days? She is not sleeping, she is in a coma...

She drank millet porridge and listened to Sister Li Zi and Sister Xue talking about the major events that had happened in the past few days. Sister Li Zi spoke in a low voice, "In Taohua Lane, a big monster got into trouble a few days ago. He was killed by the monster that came to our tavern that day."

Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't get her porridge up, nor could she swallow it, and she almost choked to death. Sister Xue patted her on the back and said, "How did you sleep yourself into a trance?"

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't dare to say anything; her heart was filled with extreme panic.

Something has happened to the big monster... If I'm not mistaken, it's most likely the woman in pink.

What happened? Is she dead?

Although we don't know how she died, we absolutely cannot let anyone else have anything to do with her, because the big monster is different from other monsters. She is also considered an upper-class person among monsters, so the trouble is particularly big.

Big monster does not mean that the monster is very big, but it is a title. In the monster world, it means that the monster is very powerful. Only big monsters can lead other monsters to travel.

Even a monster like Lizi-sister cannot be called a big monster, because a big monster must not only live a long time and have high demon power, but also have a high status. A big monster has countless small monsters under his command.

I don’t know how powerful Sister Li is, but I estimate she’s pretty good. However, she’s just a worker in a tavern.

Yuan Yuanyuan finished the millet porridge in her bowl and asked indirectly, "How do you know who killed him?"

"It's in the picture book." Sister Xue whispered, "Something big happened these days. The tavern is going to close for a few days. The monster named Ji Qiu is really terrible. This time he has caused a big mess."

Yuan Yuanyuan's heart tightened, wondering what kind of trouble Ji Qiu had made again?
