...Actually, Yuan Yuanyuan didn't really want to bring up such a depressing thing at this time, but really, after buying this bowl of instant noodles, she only had a few hundred yuan left.

Yuan Yuanyuan's life in the first twenty years could be described as normal, but in recent years it has been full of ups and downs. I remember that a few years ago, she relied on her college diploma to get a job, but just a few days after she started working, she got into trouble because of her race.

Yuan Yuanyuan was still a relative newbie at that time... Of course, she is not much better now, but that is not the point. The point is that she was scared at that time, so she quit her job and wandered around the world, and has been wandering around until now.

Yuan Yuanyuan has worked a lot of random jobs in the past few years, but they were basically short-term jobs that were paid on the same day, so that she could run away at any time.

Come to think of it, she hasn't had a formal job for a long time.

Yuan Yuanyuan covered her chin and sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking that it would be difficult for her to settle down in her current state... In the past two years, she had been living off the savings book left by her parents and the wages from odd jobs. Although she was already frugal, she still didn't have much money.

After all, even if she was a monster, she was a monster whose lifestyle was different from other monsters. Over the years, she had also summarized the lifestyles of other monsters and roughly divided them into several categories, and none of them had such a miserable life as her.

The powerful monsters occupy a certain area, or mingle among the crowd without anyone saying anything. Others may even praise them for being “good at having fun”. The weaker ones struggle among the monsters and slowly work their way up. They don’t have to worry about accommodation and food expenses. At night, they can just hide in a shabby alley. As for food… humans and monsters are also considered food, right? Maybe they can even make some fortune while hunting.

Even those monsters that are weak and don't like to cause trouble mostly have their own organizations. None of them is like Yuan Yuanyuan, who has been unable to integrate into the monster circle.

Well... everyone is doing well, except her, a weakling who is stuck between humans and monsters, and can't please anyone.

Compared to that "Ji Qiu" who was far away in the horizon, Yuan Yuanyuan still felt that...well, this month's water, electricity and internet bills posed a greater threat to her.

She bit her finger, stood up and walked to the window, opened the curtains and looked down at the lighted area, planning to go downstairs tomorrow to ask if there were any people looking for odd jobs.

The coffee shop we just visited is pretty good. The Sichuan restaurant next to it might need some people too...

…

"Is it not possible? You won't pay me if it's not a full month?" Yuan Yuanyuan said to the other end of the phone: "Oh, OK, OK, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Yuanyuan began to worry. She looked at the people coming and going on the street, and all she could think about was "money, money, money..."

Fortunately, she is a well-educated, high-quality, silly young person in the 21st century. If she had a darker mentality, she would have been considering whether to do something that violates social harmony.

Yuan Yuanyuan rubbed her head. She thought that people working in stores were required to come to work on time and be paid at the end of the month. If they left early, they would not get paid. In this situation, she did not dare to stay in one place for too long, nor did she dare to work in such a place.

After walking out of the store, Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the long street, thinking about all sorts of things in her mind. She had been walking for a whole day and her feet were numb, so she wanted to take a break.

It was getting dark by this time, and the evening sun was setting, casting a rosy red glow between the tall buildings.

As it happened, while she was walking, she came to a street where there was a large supermarket. She could go in to use the air conditioning and use the restroom at the same time.

Yuan Yuanyuan knew where the toilet was in the mall, so she walked straight in and washed her face at the sink. She had been walking around for the whole morning and her head was covered in sweat.

After washing her face, she raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror.

He was wearing a black T-shirt and jeans, with water droplets on his face and his hair scattered around his ears, which had been wetted onto his cheeks.

There was no emotion in his pair of dark eyes, and his face was expressionless.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at it for a while, then lowered her head to wash her face.

While she was washing her face, she heard a girl's voice coming from behind her, "What are we going to buy later?"

"I've bought the spareribs and bamboo shoots. What else do I need? Yogurt and mineral water?"

Yuan Yuanyuan washed her face twice and raised her head again, but suddenly she froze.

She was stunned for five or six seconds, but suddenly she heard the sound of flushing behind her. Hearing this sound, she suddenly came to her senses, turned around and rushed into a compartment, locked the door, and the sound of the door closing was very urgent, "bang!"

"Oh my god!" The girl next door seemed to be startled. Yuan Yuanyuan heard them whispering, "What are you doing? Why are you using so much force?"

Yuan Yuanyuan ignored the girls' complaints. She hid in the toilet cubicle, her heart beating fast.

…her face.

After the girls had left for a long time, Yuan Yuanyuan was still in the toilet, not coming to her senses. She covered her face and tried hard to change it back to normal.

...but somehow it can't be changed back.

Yuan Yuanyuan's heart was pounding. She looked around and saw the doors of the compartments on all sides. She whispered, "Ji Qiu, is that you?"

The bathroom was very quiet, without any sound.

She looked around carefully again and whispered, "Can I know...what is your purpose?...At least tell me, otherwise I won't know anything..."

This time, she waited for a long time, but still no one answered. Yuan Yuanyuan's heart was still beating fast.

This was the first time this had happened after she had been transformed for so long. Now she looked like the man in black that night. She was a little taller, her chest was flatter, and even her voice had become that of a man.

"No...what do you mean, do you want to draw it now? I'm not saying, it's not appropriate for you to draw it now. I'm in the women's restroom now. Are you sure the readers won't get mad after seeing the picture of the male supporting role walking out of the women's restroom?" Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know what she was saying. She was just talking nonsense, her mind was blank.

"hehe……"

Just after Yuan Yuanyuan finished speaking, she suddenly heard a very strange laugh coming from somewhere.

The sound was very strange. Yuan Yuanyuan had never heard such a strange sound in her life.

It's hard to tell whether it's a man or a woman, old or young, but it's definitely a human voice.

For a moment... Yuan Yuanyuan even wanted to rewind and listen to it again.

She looked around, but there were no humans or monsters. She couldn't sense any living creatures nearby.

The sound was like an illusion, disappearing without a trace, and it was impossible to find its source or destination.

Yuan Yuanyuan knew that everything that had happened in the past few days could finally come to an end.

She slowly pushed open the door. The restroom was empty. The light above was bright enough to just reflect a line of words written in lipstick on the mirror opposite.

【I want to play a game with you】

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the line of words that appeared out of nowhere, and then looked at the closed door of the bathroom.

The bathroom was so quiet that even the air seemed to be condensed.

She clenched her hands, then loosened them. She nodded slowly, "What do you want to play? I'll listen to you."

On the mirror in front of me, the line of red words suddenly seemed to be erased by someone, and became a blur. Another line of red words appeared below, [Increase the frequency of using this identity, so that I can complete my comics]

...Yuan Yuanyuan nodded again.

The invisible person opposite seemed very happy. The line of words he had just written was erased by an invisible hand, and the mirror was covered with bright red words.

In an instant, countless red lines crisscrossed on the mirror, one after another, in a mess, like some children's simple drawings, or some childish words written in childish handwriting.

The image on the mirror was very strange, as if many unrelated things were pieced together to form a mess.

Yuan Yuanyuan's eyes followed the movement of the red line, which was erased and drawn, and drawn and erased again.

With her eyesight, she could only see part of the information, and a lot of information was erased before she could see it.

Her mind hadn't completely digested all of this yet, but she saw a line of very clear handwriting gradually emerging on it.

[Please try to keep it like this until you get home]

…

The mirror in front of her suddenly became clean again, and the sounds outside the bathroom gradually came over.

Yuan Yuanyuan seemed to be awakened suddenly.

The last words imprinted on the mirror immediately came to her mind.

[Keep it like this until you get home]

She calmed herself down, listened to the faint sounds coming from outside, her mind raced, and after thinking for a long time, she finally turned her eyes to the window.

...No, there are too many people.

Yuan Yuanyuan sighed. Fortunately, there was no surveillance in the bathroom, but there would be surveillance once she walked out of this door.

She lowered her head deeply, then pushed the door open, walked out straight, and then walked towards a shelf according to her memory.

She remembered that it seemed to be a place that sold hats...

Although she only had a few hundred yuan on her, there was nothing she could do. Yuan Yuanyuan had been careful to avoid the crowds. But there were indeed a lot of people in the supermarket.

Walking past the cat food stall, there were relatively few people there. Yuan Yuanyuan walked past there, passed through a passage, and saw that there were only two people behind the counter in front of her.

She walked past with her head down, and just happened to hear the voices of two girls coming over.

"Should I buy this brand or that one..."

"I don't know. Isn't it said that this brand of cat food is bad for cats?"

She lowered her head and wanted to pass quietly behind the two people, but unexpectedly a girl turned her head, suddenly said "Huh", and quickly turned her head back.

"What's wrong?" asked another girl next to her.

"Look behind, behind, there seems to be a cosplayer..." the girl quietly pointed behind her and said to the girl behind her.

"Which one? Hey? The one in black?" Another girl turned around and took a look.

"It looks like a character from a new comic book."

The girl turned her head again, took a sneak peek, and whispered, "He's quite handsome..."

Yuan Yuanyuan's heart started beating fast when she heard this. She walked past the shelf where cat food was placed and went to the place where hats were placed not far away.

She picked up a baseball cap from the shelf, put it on, paid, turned around and walked out of the supermarket.
