After Fanning woke up, he was in a state of dementia. He would be sad about the passing of time or look up at the sky with his legs crossed... He was very philosophical, and the people around him could hardly stand it and wanted to kick him in the face at any moment.
"Are you going to fight or not?" The people around him looked at Fanning and said angrily, "Can you be a little more gentle? After all, you are the protagonist of a popular comic..."
"You make me feel weird when you say that, like I've traveled through time," Fanning said. He got up, "and there are people next to me who keep reminding me to hurry up or I won't be able to sell my comics..."
"It's a bit putting the cart before the horse. But at this stage, we have to give you a reason to cheer up."
"I still want to talk to Yuan," Fanning said, "because I won't give up..."
"If you really don't want to give up, you can go and talk about it, but while you're talking, there's no guarantee that anything will happen outside."
…
I have to say, Yuan Yuanyuan and Fanning really have a tacit understanding.
Yuan Yuanyuan was also secretly thinking about whether she could let Fanning come over to meet her alone, because she felt that under the current circumstances, only if the two of them met alone could Yuan Yuanyuan's plan be successfully implemented.
At the end of the comic, Ji Qiu showed off his amazing painting skills. Sometimes Yuan Yuanyuan would wonder if Ji Qiu was a brush that turned into a spirit... Ji Qiu? It sounds like he was feeling sad and grief-stricken. Maybe some scholar who failed the exam spat blood on his brush, and after many years it turned into a spirit. It seems possible...
What Yuan Yuanyuan liked most about Ji Qiu was his use of colors. Now his use of colors is becoming more and more dull. It just looks dull and makes people feel uncomfortable.
What he drew in the comics was the current situation in the demon world. All the demons were cheering, but amidst the cheers, the tone he used was very sad.
When Yuan Yuanyuan was reading the comic, she couldn't help but recall something that happened a long, long time ago, which was almost the time when Yuan's identity as a spy was just revealed. At that time, the comic readers were extremely excited, and Yuan's reputation reached its peak for a while. But in reality, everyone was cursing Yuan. Yuan Yuanyuan could hear people cursing her when she went out to pour a glass of wine.
The monsters outside are now happy, but the comics are filled with a sense of mourning. Uh... is this really the same world? No wonder she sometimes feels as if she has traveled through time.
Or maybe it can be said that a bystander sees more clearly while those in power are confused. After all, comics are from a God's perspective and start from the greater good. However, in the real world, everyone starts from their own interests. Today's monsters are going crazy for possible benefits. How can such a thing as greater good be compared with the "beautiful" future that is coming?
Yuan Yuanyuan had been having dreams these past few days, dreaming of many war scenes. As the saying goes, you dream about something during the day. Yuan Yuanyuan was awakened by her own nightmares every night, and she could even smell blood in front of her nose.
It was truly a scene like purgatory on earth... Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know how she could have such a realistic dream, it was as if she had seen it before.
Yuan Yuanyuan was becoming more and more impressed with her own imagination. She could actually dream about something so real. She must be gifted. These days, she felt a little heartbroken when she saw those monsters whispering in her ears, "Let's start a war quickly." She really wanted to invite them to visit her dream world.
Come on, Master, come and play around.
After playing, you will definitely feel refreshed and your limbs will be relaxed, really.
If humans and monsters were to fight, the consequences would likely be much more brutal than a war between humans. It's a very obvious problem - wars between humans are generally avoided on their home soil, but not between humans and monsters... They would definitely have to be fought on their home soil. In today's world where monsters and humans live together, the bloody scene is likely to be much more brutal than a hundred years ago.
The agreement signed between humans and monsters after the war will naturally become invalid if the war starts again. This was recently explained to Yuan Yuanyuan by other monsters.
The reason why humans can now live peacefully in cities is naturally because of the rule - monsters cannot appear in front of humans. So in the past, when Yuan Yuanyuan was chased to death by monsters, she would hide in an apartment building for a while. It is for this reason that it is impossible for monsters to break into humans' apartments. If they dare to do so, they will be struck by a huge thunder.
But what if this rule is cancelled? All the monsters will rush into the houses of humans overnight, drag out those sleeping humans, drink their blood, bite their necks... Human blood is also a very tempting thing for monsters.
Overnight, the entire city will turn into purgatory... This is even more exaggerated than the zombie apocalypse. Zombies can be beaten to death with steel pipes, but what about monsters?
These guys are all like wolves, how could they let those humans go?
Of course, there is a clear difference in the number of humans and monsters. Monsters cannot kill so many people, so in the end some humans will survive, and after reacting, they will form a resistance alliance under the leadership of some Taoists... But that will happen a long, long time in the future. Before that, a group of humans will have to die first.
Simply speaking of modern urban combat tools, there are no obvious advantages or disadvantages between humans and monsters. Although humans have very advanced means of communication, for monsters, as long as the demonic energy is strong enough, these means of communication are as useless as paper... Guns and the like are very easy to jam when facing monsters, not to mention that most monsters are not afraid of guns.
As for the bombs with more destructive power... they can only be used in cities, because monsters are in the cities, living next to humans. If you want to die together, then please feel free to use them boldly.
One of the more important things in war is intelligence, which is also Yi Qi's forte. Although the Taoist priests have already worked out a way to make communication tools unaffected by evil spirits, they can only be used on a small scale. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is absolutely unrealistic to use it on a large scale. Moreover, human communication tools still require manpower to maintain.
...So will the war ultimately be reduced to a fight over communication tools?
Yuan Yuanyuan thought about it for a long time, and subconsciously thought that this communication tool was very important. It would be better to destroy their formation first so that they could not send any information. For the people now, it is not necessary to say anything else. Just being disconnected from the Internet for a day would be a matter of life and death. The demon power can also affect the electricity. If the electricity and the Internet are disconnected...
Huh?
Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly became alert.
She seems to be... unexpectedly gifted? Why did she start thinking about how to kill humans so naturally?
...Think of something else, think of something else.
Although Yuan Yuanyuan told herself to think about something else, at that moment, all she could think about were those things. It was as if there was a sandbox in her mind showing all the scenarios that would occur if a war broke out between humans and monsters in the next ten years.
It's simply poisonous. She really loves what she does.
But anyway...if a war really breaks out, the current human population would probably be reduced by half...Now is already the era with the highest survival rate for humans. Has there ever been an era in the past where it was so easy to survive?
Sometimes Yuan Yuanyuan feels that their era is abnormal, and those times filled with wailing and sorrow are the norm for human beings.
A beautiful, dreamlike era.
She thought about it and decided that she still couldn't go to fight the monsters... Actually, in a small corner of her mind, she did consider this little option. After all, she still had half monster blood in her body.
But she felt that the consequences of a war would be too tragic. Perhaps a war would definitely break out in the future...but she didn't want it to be at her hands, nor did she want to be the sinner.
She wanted to buy herself a small shabby house, and when everything was over, she would quietly do odd jobs, earn some money, buy a bottle of Coke and eat instant noodles every day, and she would be very content.
Yuan Yuanyuan put aside the mess in her mind. There was no right or wrong in this matter. It was just a matter of choice, a fork in the road. If you go this way, you will be further and further away from the other side.
After today, no one will know what she is thinking at this moment. Even Ji Qiu will not draw what she is thinking. After all, comics depict the coolest moment of heroes and beauties. What were they thinking in their hearts before they did the coolest thing, and how long had they been struggling... There will not be more boys' comics, because after that, sales will drop. Everyone only likes to see people showing off.
Ah...why do I suddenly feel that boys' comics are a kind of cruel comics?
But Yuan Yuanyuan doesn't want the humans to win easily; she wants to give the monsters more chips.
At the very least, let humans see that monsters are not to be trifled with. From the monsters' perspective, the more they scare humans, the more respect humans will have for them. Don't let monsters be so miserable anymore... It's also very interesting to occasionally appear in front of humans and leave behind an urban legend. Wouldn't the world become more interesting?
So what is the first step?
Yuan Yuanyuan recalled the idea she had thought of before, communication tools... This is indeed a very interesting thing. I wonder what kind of chaos would happen if humans suddenly ran out of electricity and couldn't send messages through the Internet?
It seems that humans haven't taken this matter too seriously yet...
Yuan Yuanyuan lowered her head and searched on the map. Finally, she drew a circle on it and called a few monsters over.
