[Group leader: Hey, I just remembered something when I was falling asleep. ]
[Group leader: You said that we are not allowed to discuss even the Demon Chronicles here, so have the higher-ups decided to suppress this matter? ]
[Black and Red: I guess so. We didn't have it a few days ago, but we had it the day after you mentioned it.]
[Group leader: No one should release our group records... I will bite anyone who releases them to death. ]
When Yuan Yuanyuan returned home, she felt like she was falling apart. She threw the milk bread in her hand onto the bed and looked at the ceiling.
The cell phone on the bedside table was still on. She took the phone, turned it over, and looked at the records inside. She thought that although Fat Cat was a little weak, he was still very accurate in seeing things.
As expected... a monster came to her to silence her. Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't say that she fully understood what the monsters' intentions were, but in her understanding... that was to silence her.
The monsters didn't ask for much, at least far less than Yuan Yuanyuan expected.
Yuan Yuanyuan had been concentrating all her attention to listen to what the woman said to her. A lot of messy thoughts ran through her mind, such as whether the monsters came to her at this time to ask her to do something... to go back to her old job and be a spy or something, or to control her. Who knew that the monsters were more honest than she thought.
Or rather... not as stupid as she thought.
At that time, the woman in white almost told her directly not to spread the news about what happened in that year. She did not ask her to make any guarantees or do anything for the monster. She just begged her in a humble manner.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt a little panicked, mainly because she had never encountered such a thing before, but on the surface she still remained very indifferent.
If the monsters had asked her to continue to risk her life... or do something dangerous, she would have run away long ago, but since they were just looking for her to keep her mouth shut...
Yuan Yuanyuan sat up on the bed, tidied up, ate her meal and went to work.
…
There are a lot of monsters in City C...not just a lot.
It can be said that the most dangerous monsters in the country have all come to this city. Yuan Yuanyuan was a little doubtful about her life in the first year she came here. She couldn't figure out why she came here. But after staying for a month, she found that it was actually quite easy to get along here.
The little monsters look for backers and pay tribute every month to seek protection from the big monsters. The big monsters here are definitely the most trustworthy big monsters. Yuan Yuanyuan has been here for so long and has never heard of any big monster accepting the tribute but not protecting the little monsters.
Every big monster has a bunch of small monsters under his command, forming a pyramid structure. For example, Yuan Yuanyuan is at the lowest end of the pyramid, Sister Li is in the middle level, and Sister Xue is in the upper-middle level.
Every little monster is considered a kind of wealth. Although the lives of the little monsters here are worthless, that is only relatively speaking. The big monsters still hope that there are more little monsters under their command who don't cause trouble and are quiet, like Yuan Yuanyuan. After all, one more monster means one more contribution.
For example, for those monsters who love to cause trouble, the default rule here is to ignore them. However, if those small monsters who don't cause trouble are attacked, the big monster that he pays tribute to has to send people to solve the problem.
Every big monster has a list of little monsters under his command. Yuan Yuanyuan was registered under the name of her boss. She even signed her own name when she came in, which she jokingly called "registering".
So when the woman in white asked her to register her name, she subconsciously thought of these three words.
Once the household registration is completed, it means that they have become a community of interests. This is how Yuan Yuanyuan herself understands it. If they become a community of interests, then they will naturally keep their mouths shut and not tell anyone about this matter.
If this community of interests grows bigger, maybe they can help to do something. After all, we all wear the same pants now, so the things that happened back then are not as important as they are now.
However, Yuan Yuanyuan did not write her name on it immediately.
Because the name of a monster has magical power, it is not an ordinary thing. When you sign your name, it will restrict your actions.
Yuan Yuanyuan was not afraid of the punishment for violating the contract... She just felt it was a bit strange. This contract did have some penalties, but not much... In fact, it did not have as many penalties as the contract she signed when she was "Yuan Yuanyuan".
What's going on? A big giveaway?
As we have said before, City C is currently the largest monster city, so there must be all kinds of monsters. Since there are monsters that rely on big monsters to survive, are there any monsters that do not rely on big monsters to survive, or even those who are unregistered and have no "hukou"?
Yuan Yuanyuan can say with certainty that – yes.
She could also say with certainty that this number was extremely huge... About one-third of the monsters were not "registered".
These "unregistered" monsters have one thing in common.
Strong, very strong, extremely strong.
They don't have to rely on big monsters to survive at all. They can wander around the city freely without worrying about survival.
City C was originally made up of some monsters that could not survive in other cities. There were monsters that could not survive because they were weak, and naturally there were powerful monsters that could not be tolerated by other cities. Those monsters were all hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and they basically did not come out, and no one dared to disturb them.
Because of this, Yuan Yuanyuan did not express her opinion. She knew that her brain was not working well. She had seen many people being fooled by a piece of paper, so she simply did not say anything.
She doesn't necessarily have to express her opinion... Wouldn't it be better for her to just be a "hidden dragon and crouching tiger"? Although she is a little weak and her personality is a little different, the monsters probably won't be at ease.
The woman in white was very sensible. She said that Yuan Yuanyuan could think about it for a while and then get back to her. If she agreed, she could come to the same place next Saturday and she would treat her respectfully.
Unfortunately... Yuan Yuanyuan cannot show this thing to Fatty Cat. She thinks this guy seems to be quite sinister. If there is anything wrong, he will probably be able to see it at a glance.
Before leaving, the woman in white gave Yuan Yuanyuan a small bronze mirror. The mirror was only as big as an egg, like a smaller version of the dressing mirror used by ancient women. It was delivered on a tray. Yuan Yuanyuan picked it up and looked at the woman.
"If there's anything you want to know, please use this to contact me. There's nothing tampered with. We wouldn't dare to lie to you. You're an expert in this area," said the woman in white.
Yiqi is an expert, but I am not. Yuan Yuanyuan took the mirror and looked at it twice. She actually knew this thing. She had seen it in a biography.
Now the mirror is tucked into her chest, below the peace locket.
That mirror is a communicator between monsters, but this thing is magical. It is not a thing that can only allow two parties to communicate, it is a thing that can allow multiple people to communicate.
This may still be a bit confusing... To put it simply, this thing is not a mobile phone that can only be used for two people to talk, it is a group of penguins, and a 3D version of a group of penguins.
Its usage is the same as that of an ordinary magic book, you put your own magic energy into it, and then you will instantly enter the world in the mirror. In the mirror world, people can change their appearance, hide their bodies, and then have a conversation. Overall, it is quite interesting.
There aren't many of these mirrors, usually a few in a set. Of course there are also sets of a few hundred or even a few thousand, but the workmanship is a little worse. The constructed world is also a little rough. This is the first time Yuan Yuanyuan has got this kind of thing. She is afraid of getting into trouble, so she has never used it. In fact, she is still very curious about it.
Should I agree to them? Should I? Yuan Yuanyuan was washing the cup while thinking about what the woman in white said, to see if there was any trap.
With her own brain...she didn't see any trap, but she didn't know anything else.
If you sign this name...it actually has certain advantages, it's not all bad.
Yuan Yuanyuan was washing the cup, thinking about the other meaning vaguely revealed in the words of the woman in white this morning.
——Yuan’s existence has already posed a certain threat to the demon world.
Someone wanted to target her recently. The woman in white didn't make it clear who it was, but that person seemed to be from outside City C.
City C itself has the attribute of being fearless. As a unique city, it has a sense of independence. Although it still stands on the side of the monster in the big picture, in the small details, City C is still very willful.
And what the woman in white meant in her words this morning... was that if Yuan Yuanyuan signed her name, then City C could help her block some of the malicious intent from the monsters from the outside world.
This was a decision reached by several big monsters in City C after a long discussion, but it was based on the premise that "Yuan" would stop causing trouble.
In other words... Yuan Yuanyuan paused while brushing the cup. City C... is it planning to hide Yuan?
Don't hand it over to the monster or the Taoist priest, let him hide his identity and work for City C in secret, and City C is responsible for providing Yuan with a place to hide?
You don't have to do anything and just get a free thug. This is a really good idea.
Similarly, if Yuan Yuanyuan wanted to leave, she could leave at any time. C City itself was afraid of taking responsibility, so the contract they signed did not mention any punishment at all. C City was also afraid that she would not run away.
If the monster is really serious and insists on letting Yuan out, then it will be convenient for City C to tear its face off and turn around and become a traitor.
This is really interesting.
Yuan Yuanyuan inexplicably felt that... her brain seemed to have become smarter, for the first time in her twenty years of life.
She threw away the cup in her hand, slipped out, and prepared to contact the woman in white.
Sign, why not sign? She was afraid that the other person was being nice to her for no reason. Now she finally understood that the other person actually had bad intentions, and Yuan Yuanyuan relaxed instead.
The other person has bad intentions towards her, and her intentions towards him are not pure either. Both parties are using each other. It's fair for everyone.
But who is trying to trick her?
Yuan Yuanyuan thought for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable person, so she could only tell herself to be careful.
At the same time, "Yao Ji" was still being drawn in full swing, and the female fans of Yuan over there were constantly cheering for their male idol.
A nationally famous comic convention is about to open. Every year, many COSERs participate. Last year, the most popular one was Onmyoji, with the whole venue full of Haruaki Haruaki... Although it is a little obscure this year, the fighting power is still not small.
This year, some of the hottest anime to date will definitely have a place at the convention.
Among them, there is a Chinese animation that has suddenly risen - "Yao Ji".
