Yuan Yuanyuan quietly felt the heartbeat around her. The sound was sometimes louder and sometimes softer and felt extremely unstable, like an old-fashioned radio with poor registering effect.
She closed her eyes and felt it again.
The heartbeats around her were getting closer and farther away. Although she couldn't see them with her eyes, Yuan Yuanyuan could vaguely feel the movements of the people walking on the street.
Some people's heartbeats are particularly slow and steady, and they are walking leisurely on the street. Some people's heartbeats are as fierce as drums, and they quickly fade away. They are probably running...
Yuan Yuanyuan closed her eyes and took two steps forward. Suddenly, her leg bumped into something. She took a deep breath and looked down. It turned out that she had hit the corner of the table.
She limped out from the table, rubbing herself for a long time with a grin on her face. She pushed the door open and walked out.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought that if she got closer to the street, the noise would become louder, but the moment she walked out of the door, the noise suddenly disappeared.
The only sounds were cars running on the street and honking horns.
Yuan Yuanyuan was completely confused.
She looked back at the door, went back into the room, closed the door, and stood in the room for about two minutes before the sound gradually became audible.
...What's going on?
Yuan Yuanyuan was very happy at first because she had learned a new magic trick, but then she found that the sensitivity of this magic trick could probably be classified as metaphysical... sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.
This makes the original round shape a little square.
She walked around the room. The sound was still like a broken radio, intermittent and occasionally mixed with some noise.
This shouldn't be the case. This is very different from what is written in the magic book. They are completely not on the same level.
The Blood Jade Demonic Art did not describe its effects in detail, only a simple sentence. It said, "The soul is the chess piece, the heaven and earth are the chessboard, and the chess pieces are intertwined on the chessboard, and a world can be obtained."
This magic trick doesn't have any name, but because of this introduction, Yuan Yuanyuan simply calls it the Chessboard Trick.
Otherwise, Yuan Yuanyuan would say that this Blood Jade Demon Art is awesome... People just dare to write it. This sounds extremely arrogant, but Yuan Yuanyuan just felt it and it does have some meaning.
The heartbeats of the people around...or rather the monsters, echoed everywhere. One heartbeat was like a chess piece on a chessboard. A hundred heartbeats would form the general appearance of a chessboard.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the door puzzledly.
It seemed as if the sound disappeared immediately after she pushed the door open. In other words, something must have changed before and after she pushed the door open, causing the sound to become smaller?
And now it has stabilized again... So does this mean there is a certain pattern to this?
Yuan Yuanyuan walked around the room and suddenly turned her head to the kerosene lamp in the middle of the room.
The kerosene lamp was the most common type of kerosene lamp, which had long been obsolete. This thing was not brought by Yuan Yuanyuan, but was one of the few relatively intact things left in the house.
At first Yuan Yuanyuan thought this thing was not bright enough, but later she found that it was nice to put it there to enhance the atmosphere.
This kerosene lamp looks very well made, like a combination of a long-necked vase and an alcohol stove, with a punk style of overhead machinery industry, which is different from those shabby kerosene lamps. It has been placed in a corner, and the corner has been blackened by it, which shows that it has been used for a long time.
Because this kerosene lamp is so beautiful, even though the candle is brighter than the kerosene lamp, Yuan Yuanyuan still picked up a kerosene lamp to show off, imagining that if a guest came over at night one day, she would light the kerosene lamp and sit quietly beside it...
However, there are no guests now, so this kerosene lamp seems to have no real use.
Yuan Yuanyuan found that when she got closer to the kerosene lamp, the sound became louder, and when she moved away from it, the sound began to become weaker.
What the hell...
Yuan Yuanyuan picked up the kerosene lamp and watched its small, bean-sized flame burning.
No way...
From now on...do I still have to carry a kerosene lamp with me when I go out to fight?
…
Although Yuan Yuanyuan spent a whole day in the house and didn't quite understand why the sound of the kerosene lamp became louder when she got closer to it and became quieter when she moved away from it, "Demon Records" was still updated as usual.
At twelve o'clock on Sunday night, the latest issue of "Yao Ji" was updated as scheduled. In the previous issue, Fanning successfully refreshed the readers' consistent thinking about him and turned to another magical path... Now readers are very interested in where Fanning will go next, so they come to wait late at night.
Yuan Yuanyuan was also sitting next to the kerosene lamp, holding her cell phone. She had been sitting next to it all day, practicing magic arts until her nose was black...
No matter how well-made a kerosene lamp is, it will still emit smoke, and the smoke is black. Yuan Yuanyuan felt that it was really a great honor for her to sit here.
She coughed for the umpteenth time because of being scolded. She opened her phone and watched the little daisy spinning inside. After the little daisy finished spinning, she refreshed the things inside.
Actually, I feel like Saturdays and Sundays are less fun if I don't go to work. Sister Li likes to read "Yo Ki". It's much more interesting to see her reaction when reading the comics. As long as she doesn't cry, her reaction is still a pretty standard comic fan's.
However, I have been drawing mostly Fanning recently, and Sister Li seems to be a fan of Yuan, so she may not like this part.
Yuan Yuanyuan read the contents of the comics and found that Fanning had no relatives when he was born. She knew that Fanning had no parents and had only a lame senior to take care of him since he was a child, so he had nowhere to go.
In fact, the influence of this senior on Fanning was a little beyond Yuan Yuanyuan's imagination. She originally thought that Fanning might struggle a little and pretend to obey, but who knew that he really just left with his bag and never looked back.
From this, we can see that Fanning listened to the words of his senior to a certain extent. Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she might not be so obedient even to her mother. To some extent, Fanning was still a very stubborn child.
[Fanning was walking on the road. He didn't know where he was going, nor what his future would be like.]
[As a demon hunter from a traditional sect, he received all the education from the traditional sect. However, at this moment, he suddenly changed from a traditional demon hunter to a wandering demon hunter.]
[For traditional demon hunters, being a wandering demon hunter is something that only exists in nightmares. One is heaven, the other is earth. The difference between the two is known to all demon hunters.]
[From today on, he is no longer the demon hunter of the Sanqing sect. ]
[Fanning walked on the road for an unknown number of days. He could not recognize where he was and had no clue where he was. He actually did not know how long he had been walking. He just wanted to keep walking until he could no longer walk.]
[After walking for an unknown amount of time, his vision had become blurry, and suddenly he saw a faint red.]
【“Red?” Fanning was stunned. 】
[He turned his head and suddenly saw a sea of brilliant red flowers.]
[Fanning couldn't walk anymore. Before he fainted, he was confused and wondered where did such a large field of flowers come from?]
[It was not until it was almost dark that Fanning opened his eyes again.]
Huh? Yuan Yuanyuan watched this scene and thought to herself, this is not a good place to plant such a large field of red spider lilies.
There are quite a lot of elements of the red spider lily that appear in anime, such as the Hidden King, Hell Girl, and a certain Harmony anime where it has appeared many times, because the image of this thing is indeed quite childish.
There are flowers but no leaves, and there are leaves but no flowers.
Of course, few people know that this thing has a down-to-earth name called "Chinese Lycoris".
What idiot would plant such a large patch of Chinese Lycoris in the yard...Wouldn't it scare you when you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom? It's all red.
Yuan Yuanyuan put down the phone in her hand, complained, turned around and went to sleep.
In a small dark alley, a man holding a small cell phone breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a pool of blood under his feet, with a small dead leaf floating quietly in it.
Liu An stared at the leaf in a trance. He was somewhat glad that the comic book did not include the scene where "Faning" was hospitalized. If it had been drawn, his identity would probably have been exposed.
Although his identity had been kept secret all along...thanks to Ji Qiu's deception skills, a person walking on the street in a hospital gown was too conspicuous. Apart from him who was an idiot at the time, it was estimated that few people in the world could do such a thing.
He looked at the blood-red flowers on the other shore and frowned silently.
It's so red that it's blinding. What kind of taste does Ji Qiu have?
"Xiao Liu! Are you done? Hurry up!"
"Okay." Liu An put down his phone, stood up, and walked towards the pool of blood in front of him.
There lay a dead monster, his eyes staring straight at the sky, with a hole in his chest. The moonlight shone down from above his head, and his eyes were frozen.
It is now a quarter past twelve at night.
Liu An looked at the monster and slowly opened the body bag beside him, then put the tragic monster inside. Before zipping up the bag, he gently put his hands over the monster's eyes and closed them.
The dark alley was echoed with the howling of the wind, as if there were ghosts wandering around.
City C is a place where all kinds of fights often take place, so there are a lot of corpses. Similarly, the business of corpse collectors is extremely prosperous.
Of course, they are not called corpse collectors in the local area... they are called scavengers. Although there have always been special monsters responsible for this task, as the scavenger family grows, fewer and fewer monsters are willing to do this job, and they are often short of manpower, so they often spend money to hire a large number of laborers to complete this task for them.
Even so, few monsters are willing to do this job... because it is considered the most low-level job, which happens in the dark and cannot be seen in the light.
Liu An put away the body bag, squatted on the ground, and wiped the blood on the ground with a small cloth. After the blood was wiped by the cloth, it seemed to evaporate and disappeared in an instant.
Yuan Yuanyuan woke up groggy one morning. She looked at the man who walked in through the door. He was wearing a military coat and had messy hair as before. He was holding the purchased vegetables and breakfast in his hands.
"Boss, are you awake?" Liu An said when he saw Yuan Yuanyuan drowsily getting up from the chair.
Yuan Yuanyuan nodded. She couldn't sleep last night and studied it for a long time. Finally, she understood the secret of why the chessboard trick sometimes worked and sometimes didn't.
It wasn't the kerosene lamp, nor her spiritual power, nor the weather, the scenery, or the flowers and plants outside.
It's smoke.
