Chapter 1
"Yuanyuan, you haven't paid for this season."
"Oh, wait." A person's voice came from the room, and then the door was opened with a small gap, and a white hand stretched out from inside, holding three red translucent beads in the palm , "Sister Xue, see if you can do this."
The one called "Sister Xue" was a beautiful woman with a beautiful face, snow-white skin, red lips like blood, and she was wearing a tulle on such a rainy day.
It should be very eye-catching for such a woman to come to this old community, but at this time, the voice-activated lights in the corridor were not even turned on, and the corridor was silent, as if no one was there.
Sister Xue took the beads, jolted it, and said, "Okay." She took out a brush and drew a few times on the security door.
The old anti-theft door gave off a faint light, and then slowly returned to its unremarkable appearance.
Sister Xue put the beads into a pocket around her waist, said goodbye with a smile, and left. After a while, the security door that opened with a slit was gently closed, and everything happened silently. Nearby neighbors didn't notice anything.
A few minutes later, there was a shrill scream of a wild cat outside the window, and all of a sudden, the voice-activated lights in the corridor lit up.
Yuan Yuanyuan sighed and walked back to the bedroom.
Her tense muscles suddenly relaxed, and she fell back on the bed.
She was alone in the room, and a small yellow lamp by the bedside was quietly lit, emitting a warm and faint light.
It was quiet everywhere, and the screen of the mobile phone on the bed was glowing.
The beautiful woman just now is the "second landlord" in this area, and she specially collects the "rent" from the little monsters here for the boss.
Yuan Yuanyuan moved to this place a year ago. There are all kinds of monsters here, and the law and order is not particularly good, but as long as she doesn't go out and die in the middle of the night, life here is quite orderly.
As a half-demon, Yuan Yuanyuan has spent a lot of energy trying to find a place where she can live with peace of mind over the past few years. Even if it is a place similar to the monster slum, she is very grateful to be able to settle down.
There are not too many incidents of flirting and fighting between monsters, and they have their own xenophobic attributes, and they are not very welcome to the half-demon like Yuan Yuanyuan.
The city where Yuan Yuanyuan currently lives is a city where monsters and humans live together. She jokingly calls this city the "city of freedom". The head is a good monster. His rule is that as long as you turn in a certain amount of money every month , he will protect the monsters living here.
Therefore, there are many monsters like Yuan Yuanyuan in this city that are not accepted by the outside world. The order is very chaotic, and there is order in the chaos.
Ordinary monsters don't like this city. The only ones who really like this city are some notorious monsters, indiscriminate murderers, and some monsters who are trying to avoid something.
Before she became a monster, Yuan Yuanyuan had fantasized about a lot of monsters, but in recent years, she didn't even bother to think about herself. Some things will feel different if you participate in them yourself. The blood and brutality inside are quite disgusting things, and they are not as beautiful as imagined.
This quarter's "rent" has been paid... I can probably spend three months in a safe and secure way.
Yuan Yuanyuan turned over and looked at the light rain outside. She was really satisfied with the place now. Monsters used to be active at night, but she used to be a pure-blooded human. She still insisted on human habits. Don't go out.
It's night now... It's a good time to stay up late to cultivate immortals. I just paid the "rent" for this quarter, Yuan Yuanyuan is in a very happy mood, and feels that she can stay up until two o'clock in the middle of the night today.
She opened her mobile phone that she had bought for three years, opened an app dedicated to reading comics, and pulled out a comic that she liked recently. The name of the comic is "Yao Ji", which tells the story of a little demon slayer.
"Yao Ji" was painted by a newcomer artist. The artist's name is "Jiqiu". He has never had any traces before. However, a month ago, he suddenly occupied the top of the website's popularity list like a sudden emergence.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't like to read comics related to monsters since she turned into a monster, but she couldn't bear this comic swaying on the homepage every day, creating a sense of existence. One day, she opened the comic out of curiosity, and then sank into it out of control.
If Yuan Yuanyuan likes this comic, then she can only say that the monsters drawn by this artist are very real.
Not generally true.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at this comic, and sometimes she always felt that these monsters were original. She even thought that the painter was also a monster, but she broke into the human world on a whim and took down the brush to draw such a book. comics.
In fact, there are many powerful people among the monsters. They are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After all, they have lived for so many years, and many of them have lived from ancient times to the present.
But the monsters who have lived to this age... must not be so busy, and will come to draw such things.
She looked at the phone in her hand and pouted. used to read romance novels, and the monsters in them can live in peace with humans, and they seem to be very active in integrating into human society, and even fall in love. At that time, thought that girls were not cute, but now feel more and more nonsense.
It's not that she's not romantic, okay? The key is that she didn't know what's going on here until she came here. Those famous big monsters are gods.
Seeing the beginning but not the end, the unknown little monsters are struggling for survival. The monster hierarchy is as strong as the evil feudal society. Most of the monsters are still quite hard to live.
Yuan Yuanyuan went to the kitchen to pick up a glass of milk, and when she came back, she lay down on the bed again. Thinking about some things, she was a jerk. No one knew how she, a socialist child who grew up under the red flag, suddenly returned to the feudal society within a few years.
She thought about this matter for several years, and recently she finally stopped thinking about it.
Yuan Yuanyuan took a sip of milk, and the white milk stains stained under her nose. She looked at the picture on her phone, which showed a woman in red. She fell in a pool of blood, covered in blood, black Her hair was draped over her back and shoulders.
The woman's eyes stared straight ahead, and she had a pair of deep eyes with raised corners. That red dress was like a blood cloak, it opened very beautifully, and it was defeated very quickly.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at this woman while drinking milk. It was obvious that the artist favored this woman very much. He devoted a whole page to painting her. It's thick and very textured, just like seeing the woman's death with her own eyes.
If there really is such a big monster... what kind of scene will it be when it dies.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt a little frightened when she thought about it.
She turned a page, and was about to see what happened next, when someone suddenly knocked on the door frantically outside.
"Who is it?" Yuan Yuanyuan rolled over and sat up, picked up a knife from the head of the bed, and shouted outside.
It is now close to eleven o'clock in the evening, which is usually not the time for guests to visit, so the person knocking on the door outside does not know who it is.
She got out of bed a little frightened, hesitated for a while when she approached the door, and remembered that Sister Xue had only painted a barrier on her security door an hour ago, so she bravely walked over.
Unexpectedly, the person knocking on the door turned out to be her neighbor.
"Yuanyuan! Are you there?" The door was slapped with a bang, Yuan Yuanyuan heard the familiar voice, opened the door slowly, and bumped into a woman who was wearing a black coat. His hair was covered in water, and he looked anxious. "Yuanyuan, have you seen my Xiaoying?"
"Xiaoying?" Yuan Yuanyuan was taken aback, "Is she not back yet?"
Xiaoying is the child of Yuan Yuanyuan's neighbor's family. Even though Yuan Yuanyuan has to pay rent to the monsters on time every month, she lives in a community full of humans, and her neighbors are downright pure-bred humans.
"No, I just went to pick her up from the make-up class, but I didn't get it. Her teacher also said that she would leave after class, and she couldn't get through on the phone." The neighbor's eyes were red, and he didn't know how long he had been running in the heavy rain. , trousers are wet.
"..." Yuan Yuanyuan looked up at the sky outside. Today is a rainy day, and she can smell the faint smell in the air.
"Yuanyuan, I'll go out with your uncle and look for it again. You can help auntie to look at it. If Xiaoying comes back, call me quickly." I was a little dumbfounded, "Wait! Auntie! Auntie! Come back first! It's raining outside! Call the police first!"
The neighbors are all gone now, "Already reported!"
Yuan Yuanyuan stood at the door for a while, thinking that even if she called the police, it would be useless.
The fishy smell outside was getting stronger and stronger, Yuan Yuanyuan had smelled it for a long time, but she never went out, because it is best not to mix things up with monsters, especially this kind of hunting.
The rules of this piece - you are not allowed to hunt and kill weak and innocuous monsters at will, but if there is a private fight between the monsters, the boss will not care.
She has followed this rule in the year she came here, never going out at night. After all, the barrier painted on the door is not so much for defense as it is to show her identity and prove the people who live here. Is a legal resident, with the boss covering.
But if there is a private fight...then this barrier is useless. Other monsters can easily rush into her house and hack her to death without worrying about any punishment.
As a half-demon, although she has not been in contact with the monster world for several years, Yuan Yuanyuan still knows these unspoken rules. Although she has become a monster, she will never cause trouble, but today... she met an acquaintance.
Yuan Yuanyuan closed the door and stood at the entrance. For the first time, she felt at a loss. She felt that today's incident was the worst thing she had ever encountered. The bird-faced idiot has been chasing him for most of the night.
She stood there for a long time, like a frozen statue, until the voice-activated lights in the corridor went out automatically, and then she suddenly moved.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't go back to the bedroom to continue reading the comics. She ran to her closet in three or two steps and started to look through her clothes. The clothes inside were dragged out one by one by her and thrown all over the floor.
After turning around for a few minutes, Yuan Yuanyuan finally found a black windbreaker from inside, and gestured with it on her body.
This is a dress her father wore before. It was big enough to cover her headband and body, so she couldn't tell her appearance at all.
Yuan Yuanyuan stretched out a hand to cover her face and rubbed it. After three seconds, she raised her head again.
Her appearance has changed a bit.
...take a gamble.
Yuan Yuanyuan put on a windbreaker, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and a trace of red filled the corners of her eyes.
A gust of wind blew through the window... It was as if someone slipped in quietly and saw this scene.
This scene was suddenly frozen on a piece of drawing paper, black and red, intertwined into one piece.
