Farmer: Plant strange fire at the beginning and sell devil fruits.

"Last night, three homeless people in the East District were suspected of being eaten by monsters, and the remains scared an 80-year-old man to death."

"Last night, two women who came home from the night shift in the East District were assaulted and their bodies were cut into pieces. It was suspected that they were caused by monsters. We appeal to the general public to try not to go out at night."

"last night."

After the evening news was broadcast in Jinmu Cafe, beautiful and elegant music continued.

Meng Xing, who was sitting by the window with his head down writing notes, raised his head and murmured:

"The East District is starting to get a bit uneasy."

Ye Yunyun prepared the coffee with her own hands and sent it to Meng Xing:

"This year's monster cholera is so strange. They usually start their evil in the old city."

Meng Xing took a sip of coffee and thought about this monster cholera.

The monsters appeared in the new city this time, obviously not to fill their stomachs, so they looked down upon the 'meat' in the old city.

They are afraid that they will make big moves next.

Ye Yunyun sat in front of Meng Xing dignifiedly:

"I really don't know how these monsters broke through the city's border defenses and entered the new city."

The biggest difference between the new city and the old city is not the difference between rich and poor, but the fact that the new city has intensive defense by city defense attachés and is very safe.

It is precisely for this reason that under the operation of capital, all wealthy people have gone to live in new urban areas.

Even if the residents of the old city rent the shabbiest houses in the new city, they still want to save their lives in the new city.

Meng Xing paused:

"Maybe they have the ability to disguise themselves? They can disguise themselves as humans and sneak into the city, or they can be cats, dogs or something like that."

These words made Ye Yunyun's eyes show a hint of panic. If monsters could disguise themselves as humans, it would be simply terrifying.

No one is sure whether what they encounter is actually a human being.

Maybe the customers drinking coffee here are those monsters who like to eat human flesh?

"Ring ring ring"

The wind chime on the door rang, and Linlin shouted:

"welcome!"

Meng Xing and Ye Yunyun's eyes were attracted, and they saw a man and two women walking into the coffee shop.

Like a family of three.

They were dressed in rags and their clothes didn't fit.

Especially the little girl, whose cuffs were obviously torn and her coat was almost dragging to the ground.

"It smells so good!" The girl jumped up with excitement, her eyes filled with excitement.

The guests were attracted by the girl's clear voice and showed friendly eyes.

Children in slums are hungry for coffee and beg their parents to experience it not once or twice.

Linlin didn't even look at the dishes being served. She rushed out of the cafe when she saw that the clothes were in tatters. Her face was filled with enthusiasm:

"What do you need?"

The girl swallowed:

"Anything will do."

A family of three sat next to Meng Xing.

Linlin selected affordable coffee and snacks and sent them to the family of three. She touched the girl's head and gave her a candy like a magic trick before leaving and continuing to work.

Meng Xing glanced at the family of three and continued writing and drawing on the table.

Ye Yunyun just stayed with her quietly.

An unknown amount of time passed. When Meng Xing looked up again, there were no customers in the store.

Only the little girl was left in the family of three at the next table. Their parents had gone somewhere, and Linlin was standing next to the table with a look of embarrassment on her face.

Listening to the conversation between Linlin and the little girl, it seemed that her parents had left in an emergency, leaving the little girl behind in the store.

Who knew that it had been so long since the coffee shop was about to close, but he still hadn’t come back.

"Sister, my parents will definitely send the money over tomorrow. You can keep me here. I won't lie to you."

The little girl begged Linlin.

Linlin gave Ye Yunyun a look of help:

"Sister, it's not peaceful outside right now. Why don't we keep this child here tonight?"

Her voice was very low because she knew the nature of Jinmu Cafe and was afraid that her good intentions would bring trouble to the guild.

'Snapped! '

Meng Xing closed his notebook and stood up:

"You can't keep anyone in Jinmu Cafe. I happen to be going home tonight. I'll take this child with me."

The little girl looked at Meng Xing with a wary look, as if she was worried about meeting a strange man.

Meng Xing came to the girl with his notebook, knelt down, touched the girl's head, and said with a smile:

"My uncle has a lot of toys at my uncle's house that I would like to give my baby to play with. Can I stay at my uncle's house tonight and send you back tomorrow?"

The little girl put down her guard and showed her little fangs happily:

"it is good!"

Meng Xing took the little girl's hand and left, while Ye Yunyun gracefully bowed behind her and bowed slightly.

We were almost reaching the old town, the street lights were getting dimmer and darker, and the night was getting darker.

The little girl suddenly asked:

"Brother, aren't you afraid of the darkness?"

Meng Xing said like coaxing a child:

"Brother is an adult and is not afraid of the dark."

The little girl raised her cute little face:

"But I heard that a lot of monsters come out at night recently, which is very scary."

Meng Xing shook his head:

"I've never seen monsters before. I've only seen them in textbooks. I don't think they're scary. They're quite cute."

The little girl was stunned for a moment, paused, and lowered her head:

"Cute? Is it really cute?"

The little girl's body began to tremble, and two pustules slowly appeared on her back, and a pair of bat wings broke out from the pustules.

Her smile gradually became exaggerated, the corners of her mouth split all the way to the roots of her ears, and she let out a weird and horrifying laugh:

"Hehehe, are the monsters in your textbook as cute as me??"

Meng Xing felt a tingling pain in his hand. He broke away from the girl's hand and found that his palm had turned black.

poisoned?

"Damn it, you actually want to eat alone!"

In the darkness beyond the reach of the street lights, two figures came out, who were the little girl's 'parents'.

But the couple also turned into monsters, resembling insects but not humans, with huge mouthparts exposed in their mouths.

The girl said bitterly:

"I could have stayed in the coffee shop tonight and eaten all the people in it! It's all because of this guy's meddling!"

‘Dad’ said with a ferocious smile:

"Then let's break up this nosy idiot."

‘Mom’ licked her mouthparts and said sarcastically:

"Why are you silent? Don't you think monsters are cute? If you say I'm beautiful, I can let you enjoy the gentleness of monsters."

Meng Xing burned green flames in his hands to remove the toxins. He stared at the three monsters greedily:

"You guys are really cute."

The green flames suddenly became fierce, rising three feet straight!

"What kind of monster are you!"

In the horrified eyes of the three monsters, the appearance of a three-foot-tall cyan flame general appeared.

Meng Xing was in the Qinglian Earth Heart Fire as if he were in water, floating up to the heart of the Green Flame General.

This is inspired by the previous anime mission, ‘Madara’s Susanoo’.

Meng Xing's weakness is that his physical body is not strong enough. If he uses a huge spirit to form such a flame giant, it will be both offensive and defensive.

The cyan flame general stretched out his hand to grab 'Dad'. This monster was D-level at best, and was burned to death by Meng Xing without any room for resistance.

'Mom' looks pretty good, probably a C-level one.

But she was panicking at the moment. She couldn't let the flame giant in front of her enjoy this tenderness!

‘Mother’ spat out a cloud of poisonous mist, spread out a pair of compass-like insect legs and ran away.

Qinglian's Earth Core Fire is the nemesis of poison, and the poisonous mist turns into steam before it touches the cyan flame general.

The cyan flame general grabbed 'Mom', broke her neck, then grabbed the confused monster girl, and said in a solemn voice:

"Brother thinks you are really cute, so cute that I want to bury you."
