Three days had passed since Fanning had talked to the little monster.
Fanning answered so confidently that day, but if you ask him again at this moment, his answer might be... a little different.
The head of the Li family died, and the king of all monsters also died. All the monsters went crazy all of a sudden.
They placed all their reliance on Yuan. In the past few days, Fanning could hear Yuan's name everywhere when he was out.
"Every monster is talking about him," Fanning said. "It drives me crazy... How can these people be like this?"
"You should be careful with him." Yuan Yingli, who was sitting opposite him, said, "I also feel that there is something wrong with him."
"Okay, that's nonsense." Fanning still retorted.
But a vague sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.
In the past three days, he has dreamed of the smile of the Li family master before his death every night. It lingers in his dreams like a ghost. He can't help but wonder, what is the Li family master laughing at?
Yuan has been very active these days. Every time Fanning went to look for him, he couldn't find him. The monster seemed to be in another kind of frenzy, which made him very worried.
…
"What is this sign? It doesn't look right." Gao Ling sat in the cafe, drinking coffee and looking at his phone.
When the King of Monsters died a few days ago, she was happy for a long time and even went out to meet up with her friends.
Of course, she knew a lot more than the average person, because she also made several Taoist friends and learned from them a lot of information about comics that have not yet been drawn.
For example, the King of Monsters is truly dead.
For example, Yuan's identity suddenly changed dramatically. He went from being a spy who could not show his true colors to a great hero.
It is said that when the door was opened, the ground was full of monster corpses. From the survivors, they heard that they were all killed by the King of Monsters. He and the head of the Li family even decided that if the number of people was not enough, they would eventually massacre the city.
Almost all the monsters sighed that they had only one life.
Gao Ling saw with his own eyes the signs that something was wrong with Yu Yuan, little by little. On the first day he was praised, but later on, things got weirder and weirder.
——Just like today.
"Where did you see Yuan saying that he was going to be king?" Gao Ling asked back, "That's nonsense, okay? The comic is almost finished, how could Yuan do such a thing?"
"The comic is about to be finished? The finishing in your dream. For a comic like Yao Ji that makes so much money, would it not give readers a preview before it's finished?" The friend next to him looked down on Gao Ling.
Gao Ling felt like she was at a loss for words. Her friend was just an ordinary person, so she naturally didn't understand why Gao Ling was so excited and called everyone at night after reading the comics a few days ago. She also didn't know why Gao Ling dared to open the curtains to sleep at night these few days. Before this, she hadn't opened the curtains for half a year.
Now, Gao Ling looked at the comic and felt that something was wrong with the direction it was taking. However, she couldn't figure out what the direction was for a moment. She just had a bad feeling.
"This is called 'The Dragon Slayer Becomes a Dragon'. It's a very powerful way to increase your fashion sense. Learn it." said the friend next to him.
"No way! How is that possible!" Gao Ling retorted decisively.
She felt that the other party's words were a bit harsh, and even a bit hostile, so she picked up her bag, paid the bill, and left alone, leaving her friends dumbfounded and calling her name from behind.
"Hey! Gao Ling, why are you so serious? It's just a comic book. I was just saying it casually!"
Gao Ling rubbed his hair in annoyance and walked out of the cafe. Suddenly, he had an idea and turned into an alley. He looked around and found a little monster there.
She didn't go forward, but just stood aside and watched quietly. As she watched, she heard the little monster talking.
"…Of course it's Master Yuan!" The little monster said in a loud voice, "Master Yuan will definitely take us back to the past! We monsters have been oppressed by humans before, but Master Yuan is different. Master Yuan has defeated human generals countless times on the battlefield!"
"I heard it! Lord Yuan might become king!"
"It would be great if Lord Yuan could become king."
Gao Ling almost bit off his tongue. He fled the alley in panic and ran back home in a hurry.
I just found a little monster and listened to a sentence...
"Monsters are really complex creatures. They are different from humans. The law of the jungle is ingrained in their nature." Yuan Yingli drank a sip of tea and rubbed his temples. "When they were ruled by the King of Monsters, they were all cursing Yuan. Now that Yuan killed the king, these people actually want to elect him as the new king?"
"Hey..." Fanning said weakly, "I always thought this was a joke. Where is your fat cat friend?"
"Lost." Yuan Yingli rolled her eyes. "We agreed in advance that he and I are different. Our personalities are very different. I still have some dignity, but he is completely shameless."
"…Can you give me a specific example?"
"If Yuan really wants to establish himself as king, I may still stand on your side, but Fatty will definitely betray Yuan." Yuan Yingli took a sip of tea and said, "Hey, actually I feel a little conflicted now. Is it right or wrong to follow you?"
"...Don't make it sound so scary!" Fanning said in horror, "You are our second-in-command. If even you are going to betray us, what should we do?"
"I was just saying it casually. Is that not enough?" Yuan Yingli and Fanning shouted, "You know I'm also a crazy fan of Yuan, okay? If it weren't for the greater good, I would have been bundled up and left right now. Why am I still here talking nonsense with you?"
"Oh, oh." Fanning nodded repeatedly after being taught. After Yuan Yingli's outburst, he calmed down again and sat back. His mood suddenly became uncontrollably depressed.
"Are you happier?" Fanning tried to make Yuan Yingli happy.
"Faning, do you know what kind of life monsters lived a long, long time ago?" Yuan Yingli suddenly asked.
"Uh...how long ago was it?" Fanning asked.
"Before the war."
Fanning was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"At that time, we didn't have to hide, and we didn't have to be herded into a small place to gather together. At that time, the identities of humans and monsters were completely interchangeable. Humans were afraid of us, and we monsters were the favorites of God." Yuan Yingli said with a dazed look in his eyes, "But I don't really remember the specific scenes, most of which I read in books."
"It sounds wonderful." Fanning could only agree with Yuan Yingli.
"Yuan was actually a very powerful Eagle Card in his past, not as peaceful as you think." Yuan Yingli said, "I know you lived with him for a period of time. No matter what he is like in your mind, you must now know that he is likely to be your enemy."
"What do you mean?" Fanning said slowly.
"You know very well what I'm talking about. Go out for a walk and listen to what the monsters say." Yuan Yingli patted Faning on the shoulder, "At this time, if I am helping you, I will be very happy." It may cause serious trouble. Although I have never liked the Yuan family, they are still connected by blood. If they attack the Yuan family, it will be bad. "
"Not really..." Fanning said.
"Just wait and see." Yuan Yingli said, "These monsters are so hot-blooded that they will do anything."
Fanning agreed with some doubt and observed for a few more days. However, many things big and small happened during these few days, many of which even happened in his barracks.
There are both humans and monsters in the barracks, and these people basically come from different forces. Some are pure Taoist priests, while others are monsters from anti-war organizations or monsters from City C.
The fight was between monsters and Taoist priests, and many people even stood aside to watch the excitement. When Fanning passed by, he saw many people standing there with their shoulders folded, looking as if they were watching with cold eyes.
"What are you doing!" Fanning shouted, and the two people who were fighting separated. They stood face to face, each with some scars.
"It seems that the Taoist priest just said something bad about Yuan..." A person next to him explained to Fanning.
"Not just one sentence, but many sentences!" said the monster on the other side who was fighting, "Do you think you can scold Master Yuan? Do you want to die?"
"You were the ones who cursed the most fiercely before. I just couldn't stand it now, so I cursed you a little." The Taoist said with a disdainful look at these monsters, "I really don't understand how your brain circuits are formed."
"Okay, stop talking." Fanning stopped them.
"I can see that even if we stay here, there is no point for us. We might as well leave here," said the monster.
"Leaving? Where are you going?" Fanning frowned.
"Don't worry about that." The monster sneered, "We were never yours in the first place. We are just returning to where we came from."
As he spoke, he walked forward. Fanning stared at his back, his eyes becoming colder and colder.
Just when the monster was about to go out of the door, a powerful force instantly pulled him back, causing him to fall heavily to the ground, instantly falling flat on his face.
"I don't care what happens outside." Fanning looked down at him, "Since you are still here with me, you should listen to me."
What's wrong with each of these monsters? It's almost impossible to communicate with them. Fanning saw that although these monsters have transformed into human form, they still have a lot of animality in their nature. They think too simply and don't use their brains at all.
Perhaps this is how they have always been?
After teaching this monster a lesson, Fanning turned around and left. He had to think carefully about how to unite these scattered people under his command, at least to prevent them from disintegrating from within when faced with such a situation.
Yuan Yuanyuan was now sitting expressionlessly on a huge, extremely large, and ridiculously large chair.
She's really getting fed up now.
