Monster, come to my bowl

Dang~

Dang~

Dang~

Just after finishing the meal, a bell rang outside.

The bell rang neither fast nor slow, but Cai Ji and the other two immediately became nervous when they heard it.

why?

Because this is an early warning bell!

It indicates that danger is about to come, reminding everyone to be prepared in advance.

"I'll go ask what happened!"

Lan Lan reacted quickly. Without waiting for Cai Ji's instructions, she stood up, opened the door, and ran downstairs.

As nimble as a monkey.

And in less than a moment, she was back.

"Boss, please look outside!" After Lan Lan came back, she did not rush to explain what happened, but opened the rear window directly.

The window opened and a rosy red sunlight poured in.

Why does sunlight turn rose red?

According to mythological records, although the saints shattered the Demon Moon ten thousand years ago, the influence of the Demon Moon has not been completely eliminated.

Every time the moon is full, the normal moon will turn into a red blood moon.

Under the shining of the blood moon, the monsters left in the world will become manic and restless. The monsters that originally kept a certain distance from humans will actively attack human towns.

The intensity of attacks is lower in winter and spring and greater in summer and autumn.

Especially on August 15th when the moon is the fullest, the intensity of the attack will reach its peak.

At that time, the monsters will go crazy and carry out massive destruction without regard for life or death. If the human race in various places does not take defensive measures in advance, they are likely to suffer a catastrophic disaster.

Of course, the monster attacking the city mentioned here is different from the centipede attack that occurred in Nanshan Town a while ago. That was an accident.

A few days before the blood moon appears, the sky will be dyed rose-red by a strange haze.

Once the sky changes color, human towns everywhere will sound the alarm, reminding everyone to take precautions.

Those who should go to the city go to the city, and those who should hide hide.

Try not to go outside.

"Eh? Is the full moon night coming soon?" Cai Ji had been in a coma recently and was not sure about the time. When he saw the red sky outside, he didn't think it was a big deal.

Summer has just begun, so the monsters won’t attack the city with great force.

In addition, since we are in Qinghe City, the city’s defense capabilities are trustworthy.

But Lanlan's answer surprised him.

"No! There are still seven days before the full moon!" The little maid looked at the sky outside the window and said worriedly, "People downstairs are talking about why the red haze appeared so early."

The so-called red haze refers to the strange smog that dyes the sky and sunlight red.

Once the red haze appears, the monsters in the wild will gradually become restless.

"Seven more days?" Cai Ji was stunned and thought to himself that something was wrong.

He immediately thought of the 'Western Emperor' who escaped from the town not long ago!

That evildoer was full of troubles, and a few days after he escaped, abnormal celestial phenomena occurred.

Cai Ji would not believe it if there was no connection between the two!

"Eat quickly!"

He stood at the window and thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"Ah?" The two maids didn't react.

"The red haze is not right this time. I'm afraid this month's full moon night will not be as easy as in previous years! Eat and drink enough in advance to keep your spirits up in case of any emergency!" After Cai Ji finished speaking, he sat down at the table and continued to eat and drink.

He wanted to take advantage of the remaining few days to cast the Holy Word on himself a few more times.

And if you want to cast the Holy Word, you have to eat hard!

……

at the same time.

The atmosphere in the Demon Bureau of Qinghe Town was solemn.

City Lord Yao Teng, Hundred Chief Xue Yi, and several seventh-rank demon-suppressing guards were in a meeting.

"The red haze came strangely this time. What suggestions do you have?" Although City Lord Yao had a serious expression on his face, he was as steady as ever in his actions and would always ask for his subordinates' opinions before doing anything.

Several seventh-rank demon-suppressing guards did not speak, and all looked at Xue Yi.

This is the unspoken rule of government agencies.

The leader speaks first!

Common to the whole universe!

"I propose to send people to various towns immediately to notify everyone to take refuge in the city! By the way, gather the demon-suppressing guards scattered in various towns into the city and arrange defenses in advance." Xue Yi said in a firm tone with the momentum of the second-in-command.

The seventh-rank demon-suppressing guards still did not speak and turned to look at City Lord Yao.

"Gather now?" Yao Teng hesitated and frowned, "If all the people in Qinghe enter the city, the pressure in the city will increase suddenly. Now no one is prepared, and I'm afraid there will be many problems by then."

In previous years, people from all over the country would flee to the city for refuge, but this would only be done before August 15th.

Because the impact of that blood moon was the most severe, the monsters would go into a state of complete rampage.

Therefore, before the arrival of August every year, the people in each town and Qinghe City would store food in advance in preparation for war.

But it is only early summer now, and there are still several months until August 15th. Not only are the people in the towns not prepared, but the people in the city are not prepared either.

Supplies, money, food and shelter are all problems!

"The red haze came strangely this time. No one knows what will happen on the full moon night! If we take chances and monsters riot, the people in each town will surely suffer huge casualties! No one can bear this responsibility." Xue Yi's reasons were very sufficient.

But although what she said made sense, she also had some selfish motives.

That is, she was worried about the safety of the Xue family.

After all, the Xue Mansion is in Nanshan Town, not in the city.

Although the centipede cave posing the greatest threat near Nanshan Town had been easily destroyed by Feng Siming, no one could guarantee that monsters from other places would not roam around and commit crimes on the night of the full moon.

Yao Teng naturally knew Xue Yi's selfishness and supported her selfishness.

The two families are related by marriage, and only when everyone is well will things be well.

"Okay! Let's do as you say! The people from the Xue Mansion will stay at our Yao House as usual." City Lord Yao thought for a moment and decisively ordered: "Send people to each town immediately and tell them to hurry into the city to take refuge! At the same time, post notices to inform the people of the city to make preparations for reception. Restaurants and inns are not allowed to raise prices..."

Before he could finish, Xue Yi suddenly interrupted him in a cold tone, "Three days! Tell the people in each town to give them three days at most! After three days, Qinghe City will close early. Anyone who hasn't entered the city by then can either return home or stay outside the city to watch the full moon!"

The situation was too strange, so she decisively showed the domineering attitude that a second-in-command should have.

In previous years on August 15th, every time we went into the city for collective shelter, there were always people who procrastinated until the last minute!

So annoying!

This time it is still a few months away from August 15th, so there are definitely more people procrastinating.

"Yes, just three days!" Yao Teng agreed deeply.

Seeing that the two bosses had reached an agreement, a demon-suppressing guard asked, "What if someone doesn't want to enter the city?"

"Then let them stay at home, don't force them!" Without waiting for Xue Yi to speak, Yao Teng said with a straight face: "It just so happens that food and shelter in the city need to be prepared. If fewer people come, everyone will be less stressed."

“Got the order!!!”

Several demon-suppressing guards were happy to save trouble and immediately went down to carry out the mission.

The city lord’s complaints are the most deadly.

In the past, every time they took refuge together, the Demon Suppression Guards had to use various means to "persuade" those who were unwilling to give up their property.

Just save it this time!

Whoever wants to stay can stay, life and death are up to fate!
