A small house with a very faint yellow light coming out from inside.

Since there was no electricity in here, there was naturally no electric light. There was only a candle burning with a lampshade on it.

On a very old wooden table, a man was sleeping. He had jet-black hair and was wearing a tight black turtleneck shirt. His bangs tightly covered his face, so it was impossible to see what he looked like.

One of his hands was hanging outside. His hand was very white and thin, with long fingers, and blue veins could be seen under the skin on the back of his hand.

The room was quiet, without a sound, and the candlelight flickered. At six o'clock in the morning, the person lying on the table suddenly started and opened his eyes.

The school not far away started broadcasting at six o'clock.

The person at the table got up, yawned lazily, walked to the window, pulled the thick curtain, and instantly the sunlight shone into the room.

Great... Another night without customers.

In other words, she had another day of salting fish.

Standing in front of the window, Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the bright sunshine and felt extremely happy. However, this happiness did not last for a few minutes, and suddenly she heard footsteps coming from outside.

"Boss! Have you eaten? I brought you breakfast!"

Damn, why is this girl here again?

…

Today is the end of Yuan Yuanyuan's first month on duty here.

"You said you only come here two days a week and stay for only one night each time. How much money can you make?" The girl said as she stuffed buns into her mouth.

Yuan Yuanyuan finished a bun and went to get another one. "Uh... I didn't plan to make any money. So why are you asking so many questions?"

"I just look at this house and feel a little sad. It's such a big house...why did you buy it if you don't want to make money?" said the girl.

To be honest, she didn't buy this house, it was given to her as a gift... Yuan Yuanyuan wanted to say this, but then swallowed it back.

"I've finished eating, and I still have to do morning exercises. The rest is yours." The girl said and ran out. She was the girl who came to Yuan Yuanyuan's place on the first day of opening. She was also a little monster who had been living as a human being.

Yuan Yuanyuan finished eating the last few buns, packed up the plastic bag and prepared to go home.

She has a proper job. She works the night shift and is exhausted. She also has to teach herself witchcraft. Now she has this extra job. She sleeps during the day and works at night. How can she have the free time to look after the store?

Anyway, the monsters themselves said that she just needed to be there for show, so why should she take it so seriously?

After get off work, after get off work, another day has passed.

Yuan Yuanyuan pushed open the door and saw many students in school uniforms coming into the school next door. She was also one of those who went to school in the middle of winter. Now looking at these students, she can still recall the miserable feeling she had back then.

Ah...it seems to be very miserable now.

The small house has been tidied up and looks brand new. Although it's not bright and beautiful, it doesn't have the haunted house feeling it had at the beginning. She threw away several broken tables and chairs, and after tidying up the rest, she still could use them, so she kept them.

There was a piece of paper on the door of the house with a few small words written on it.

[The owner is away all year round, we met by chance. 】

Listen, what a willful shop owner.

It’s a good thing that Yuan Yuanyuan doesn’t rely on this for a living, otherwise she would have starved to death long ago.

Yuan Yuan's face is now in a very metaphysical state. To put it briefly, it has undergone another transformation based on the transformed [Yuan].

The face that has been transformed now is 70% similar to [Yuan], but it cannot be said to be exactly the same. It can only be said that it looks very much like the same person, but it is not.

She turned around and looked at the note on the door. She felt that the note was about to be blown away by the wind. She thought about whether she should bring a roll of tape and stick the note again.

The recent "Monster Records" can be said to be calm... Of course, compared to the calmness on the monster side, the demon exorcists are already in great trouble.

In addition to Fanning playing the pig to eat the tiger, and getting the tenth place in the sect election, just touching the edge of the elite disciple, which surprised everyone, there was also a new commotion on the demon hunter side.

It is said that a long time ago, the predecessors of the demon exorcists sealed a big monster. Now it has been too long, and recently the seal has suddenly loosened, and there are signs that it is about to break out.

In this competition, the top ten people had to go to participate in the re-sealing ceremony. Fanning was unlucky enough to be ranked tenth...

Haha, when seeing this, Yuan Yuanyuan had already covered her face and laughed awkwardly.

To be honest, Yuan Yuanyuan has read novels and animations for so many years, and has never encountered such a situation where the monster cannot be removed from the print...

Moreover, this sect is very unique. The place where he was sealed happened to be the main entrance of the sect where Fanning was located... It is said that when he was sealed, he took advantage of the terrain of the sect. There was an ancestor of the sect who set up the seal there, so he had to be sealed in that place.

That sect is a very ancient one. After reading the comics for so long, Yuan Yuanyuan has almost figured out which sect it is - Sanqing Taoist Temple.

A sect that sounds very Taoist, and actually it is. At least for many years, it has been one of the most famous Taoist sects.

The headquarters of this sect is located in K City, which is 180,000 miles away from C City. Yuan Yuanyuan is not anxious at all. What does the monster over there have to do with her? No matter what they do, it will not affect her.

In other words... it's like the fight on Meteor Street, what does it have to do with the outside world? Two groups of people who have nothing to do with each other.

So, even though the demon exorcists [Taoists] have been making a lot of trouble recently, Yuan Yuanyuan has been very free here. She hasn't appeared in eight issues in a whole month, and she is free from all worries.

This shows that Yuan Yuanyuan has been very idle recently. She has practiced some very useful magic recently. These magics are not attack magics, but some auxiliary magics. However, they are all things she has never come into contact with before.

For example, this one - a blind spot.

Yuan Yuanyuan fiddled with the leaves in her hand, thinking over and over in her mind how this thing worked... She got off work earlier today, much earlier than usual. As long as nothing serious happened in City C, the number of customers in the pub would not increase dramatically.

When it was almost one o'clock, there were only a few customers left, so Sister Li Zi waved her hand and let Yuan Yuanyuan go home.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that there was really nothing to do today, mainly because she was used to staying up all day and going out at night, and it was a bit difficult to get off work so early out of the blue.

Otherwise, let's go to that room and take a look...it's pretty boring anyway, so why not go there and make clothes?

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why, but she suddenly had an idea tonight. She first slipped underground, transformed herself into a shape-shifter with ease, and then came out again.

After opening the door, Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the snow piled at the door. When she was thinking about whether to sweep it away, she suddenly saw two people squatting at the door.

"I..." Yuan Yuanyuan swallowed the word "damn" that was about to come out of her mouth. She looked at the two people at the door. One was the girl from the daytime, and there was another girl standing next to her.

"You two...what are you doing in the middle of the night?" Yuan Yuanyuan felt her heart pounding with fear.

"We've got it!" The girl stood up suddenly, and then pulled another girl next to her to stand up as well.

Both girls were wearing thick down jackets, but it was snowing lightly everywhere, and both girls were frozen and their faces were red.

"...Come in and warm up." Yuan Yuanyuan opened the door. The two girls behind her chattered, "The owner really came today. You are awesome!"

"I predict that the others won't work... but this one is more reliable."

"The shop owner is very handsome. I didn't lie, did I?"

"No, he's really handsome! He looks a bit like an iceberg guy, very tall, and his legs are very straight and white."

Yuan Yuanyuan's room was very warm, even though there was no heating. I wonder if it was because of the spell.

When the two girls came in, the girl in front who had been there during the day was very normal, but the girl behind kept looking at the roof, as if she was studying something.

"You don't seem... to be a monster?" From the beginning, Yuan Yuanyuan suspected that her sense of smell was wrong. However, no matter how many times she smelled it, she felt that the girl behind her was a pure human.

"Qiu Ling is a human." The monster girl said: "She is psychic. She is my only friend in school and she is very powerful."

"I'm sorry, I could always see this house... I heard that someone came in here recently, so I wanted to come and take a look, and Tang Shi brought me here." The human girl said embarrassedly.

Hey, a human girl?

When Yuanyuan was making milk tea, she kept thinking about the opening words of Rurouni Kenshin in her mind.

Although this world is very realistic and fucked up, sometimes we still have to hold on to some hope.

As a half-demon herself, Yuan Yuanyuan actually wanted to see monsters and humans loving each other... But she also knew that her idea was too saintly. If something went wrong, it would be a big deal. So all along, it was just a wish that she kept in her heart.

Now seeing the two little girls, who seemed to be getting along well, she felt inexplicably a little happy.

There are still many people who can communicate with spirits. Otherwise, where do all those Taoists come from? There are always a few people who have vague spiritual perceptions.

The girl in front of me is probably a psychic... If she were in a Korean drama, she would be the heroine in every moment.

When she was about to go into the house with the tray, she suddenly heard two people talking in the house.

Yuan Yuanyuan paused and stopped.

"Be careful, this shop owner is not... not a kind person."

"What's wrong? He's a nice guy. Apart from being a little lazy, a little pretentious, and a little salty, there's nothing wrong with him..."

"...That's not what I meant. I meant...he is not as simple as he seems."

"Just say it clearly. I can't guess it even if you put it that way."

“…I saw that his body was all red.”

"……ah?"

"The red light that shot up into the sky made my scalp tingle, as if it had just been soaked in human blood. I have never seen so much red light in my life. It was like a bloody man."

"puff……"

"What the hell are you laughing at? I want to leave, do you want to go?"

"No, no... I just suddenly felt that if this person had blood, his character would be a bit like your idol. Doesn't your idol also drink blood? In fact, I have always thought that they look quite similar..."

"Damn it! That's the second dimension. How can the second dimension be the same as the third dimension? How can it be!"

Yuan Yuanyuan, who was standing outside, coughed and walked in with the tray. The two girls immediately sat up straight, and it was impossible to tell what they had just talked about.

Yuan Yuanyuan put the tray on the table and smiled at the two girls.

Damn, the girls nowadays are... really amazing.
