Yokai Atlas Remake Project

There is always a price to be paid for staying up late.

The cub Buheng doesn't have to worry about his hairline yet, but the working demon Buheng has to worry about his salary.

At 45:15, there are still 10 minutes before going to work, and it takes about [-] minutes to take a taxi to the company—provided there is no traffic jam.

Buheng rubbed his sleepy eyes, stared at the time on the phone for two seconds, got up calmly and went into the bathroom.

Five minutes later, Bu Heng, who had finished washing and changing clothes, hesitated briefly at the door.

After he was able to transform into a human form, he moved to the city with Bu Han and grew up like an ordinary human cub.

It's not that the Yaozu can't use spiritual power in the human world, but there are many restrictions. If they accidentally expose their identities and violate the laws, they will be severely punished.

Bu Heng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already in a remote alley.

100 meters away is the office building where their company is located. It takes less than 2 minutes to enter from the back door and count the time to climb the stairs.

What's more, few people come here.

Bu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and found a young man with big eyes sitting in the corner a few steps away, looking at him blankly.

Bu Heng: "..."

The man had a baby face, but he was old-fashioned when he opened his mouth: "Who is so reckless?"

Bu Heng looked at him, and found that although the other's eyes were complicated, there was no panic or fear.

Since it's also a monster, it doesn't matter.

Bu Heng took two steps forward, then turned around and nodded to show his courtesy.

"Hey?" The man suddenly got up and stood in front of Bu Heng, "Why are you ignoring me?"

Bu Heng took two steps back to avoid bumping into this person, and at the same time, paid a little attention to carefully sizing him up.

From the appearance, this person is only in his 20s, wearing a blue gown that is old and worn out, his pale face is dirty from somewhere, and his standing posture is also very strange.

Bu Heng glanced down and found the source of the strangeness—this man had only one leg.

The green-robed man noticed Bu Heng's gaze, looked down at himself, then looked up at Bu Heng, slapped his hands in a sudden realization, and another leg grew out of thin air in the next second.

He touched his new leg with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "I just said that everyone looked at me all the way here and thought it was my tail showing." He patted Bu Heng's hand warmly and said sincerely, "Thanks."

Bu Heng: "..."

Because you can receive such sincere thanks for growing two legs... It is really a wise rule to prohibit the monster race from revealing its identity in front of humans.

Bu Heng lowered his eyes slightly, then calmly withdrew the back of his hand behind his back, and responded calmly: "You're welcome, goodbye."

The other party seemed to want to say something more, but Buheng had already walked towards the office building not far away without looking back.

The green-robed man stared at his back and raised his eyebrows, muttered "The little monster is really indifferent now", yawned and sat back in the corner.

At 55:[-], the empty office building gradually became lively.

After punching the card, Bu Heng greeted his colleagues one by one, went to the bathroom to wash the hands that had been pulled by the man in green robes, and then returned to his work station.

Recently, he only had this project on hand. Although the client was nagging and fussy, the project commission was generous, so Bu Heng turned on the computer as soon as he sat down, and began to change the drawing according to Manager Zhang's request last night.

Buheng began to intern in this media company in his senior year. The company is small, with less than 20 people in total, including the two bosses, and the average age is no more than 35 years old.

Although it is unavoidable to have to work overtime, the advantage is that the working atmosphere is relaxed and colleagues are easy to get along with.

"Buheng," Wei Lele, who was at the next station, poked his head over and glanced at the computer screen, "How about changing the picture? Manager Zhang hasn't let you go yet?"

"This version is about the same," Bu Heng smiled at her, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's time for dinner," Wei Lele reached out and tapped the time in the lower right corner of the screen, "How many of us are going to the back street to eat soup dumplings, together?"

The company is located in a bustling business district in the city center, and there is a food street at the front and back. During the lunch break, everyone will go for food together.

Bu Heng looked down at the time, saved the half-edited picture, and stretched his waist: "Okay!"

The weather has been unpredictable lately, when I went out in the morning the sky was clear and it would be cloudy again.

Several people stopped at the door of the office building.

Wei Lele stretched out his hand, looked at the raindrops falling on his palm and couldn't help complaining: "Don't tell me it's sunny today, why is it raining again?"

"The weather forecast has been inaccurate recently. Didn't it also report sunny yesterday, which caused me to get drenched in the shower when I got off work?" Personnel Xiaolin curled his lips, "Shall we go out to eat?"

Several people looked at each other, hesitant.

Going out at this time is bound to rain, and there is not enough time to go back to order takeaway during the lunch break peak.

"I'll go buy it." Buheng borrowed an umbrella from the security guard, and shook his phone at several people, "Send me what you want to eat."

Lightning pierced the sky, thunder roared, and the rain became heavier and heavier. Bu Heng walked back quickly with the lunch he bought after queuing for a long time.

After going back and forth, the trouser legs were wet by the rain, and the newly changed sneakers accidentally stepped into the puddle.

Buheng couldn't help but sigh at the thought of having to brush his shoes again at night.

It's been really weird lately.

Yunzhou is located in the northwest, and the climate is dry and rainless. It is rare for such heavy rain to fall for several days in a row, but every time the meteorological station cannot predict it.

It should be that there are monsters with kind clouds and rain that affect the normal weather.

Thinking of this, a figure in black with long hair appeared in his mind.

Walking all the way to the alley in the morning, passing through here is the back door of the office building, which is a few hundred meters shorter than the main road, but it has been raining for several days, and a lot of silt has accumulated in the alley.

In order not to make the sneakers more dirty and reduce the difficulty of cleaning them at night, Bu Heng quickened his pace.

When passing by the corner of the wall where the one-legged green-robed man met in the morning, he raised his umbrella to take a look, and immediately froze——

The man in the green robe disappeared, and instead, a green bull was sleeping soundly in the muddy water, its loud snoring overlapping with the thunder in the sky.

Bu Heng bent down and looked under it, and it really only had one leg.

It looks like a cow, with one leg, a pale body, and no horns.

Bu Heng narrowed his eyes: "Kui Niu..."

"Who called me?" Qing Niu, who was sleeping peacefully, turned over and lazily opened his eyelids, "Why is it you again?"

It was the voice of the green-robed man in the morning.

Bu Heng took a step back, took advantage of the opportunity to block the umbrella in front of him, to prevent the muddy water from splashing on his body, and looked down at the monster in front of him: "Didn't you be made into a drum?"

"Kui Niu has to be made into a drum?" Qing Niu shook the muddy water on his body and got up from the mud, "I'm not those two trash."

When Buheng was a child, he heard rumors that there were three Kui oxen in the world, the first two were skinned by the Yellow Emperor and Qin Shihuang to make drums, and the other one was missing.

He didn't believe much in the ancient rumors whether they were true or not, but there was indeed no news of Kui Niu in the world.

The roaring thunder gradually stopped, and Bu Heng looked at the sky thoughtfully: "Is this rain related to you?"

Kui Niu then raised his head: "Well... yes."

While speaking, he turned into a human form and waved his hand casually. The heavy rain stopped immediately, and the dark clouds dissipated, revealing the dazzling sun.

"I fell asleep and didn't pay attention. I accidentally returned to my original shape, and I lost control." Kui Niu yawned, "Fortunately, that dog-nosed one..."

For some reason, he swallowed the second half of the sentence, looked at the lunch box in Bu Heng's hand, "Eat?"

Bu Heng closed his umbrella, lowered his head and met his eyes.

If the monster in front of him was really Kui Niu, it would be at least a few thousand years old, but the human form was just a fair and thin young man.Although he remembered that his legs had melted this time, standing in front of Bu Heng only reached his shoulders.Coupled with the torn, old blue gown that was still covered with muddy water, when a pair of big round and moist eyes looked over, it looked weak and pitiful.

Although one shouldn't judge a monster by its appearance, but...

Bu Heng remained silent for a while, reaching out his hand to take out his lunch from the bag.

Kui Niu reached out to take it, but Bu Heng's hand was hanging in the air: "I have conditions."

Kui Niu blinked: "What conditions?"

"Compared to being caught and skinned to make drums, it's not too wasteful to lose control of your spiritual power after falling asleep." Looking at his dirty sneakers, Bu Heng said, "But you will be more convincing if you don't sleep. .”

Kui Niu: "..."

In fact, he doesn't really want to change back to his original form, after all, in his current situation, a human form is safer.

He nodded and took the lunch box, glanced at Bu Heng who turned around and left, and tilted his head: "I always feel that the smell on your body is a little familiar, what is the root?"

Bu Heng turned back: "The "Monster Race Management Law" suggests that in order to protect your own safety, you should not disclose your privacy to strange monsters at will."

After saying that, he took out a booklet out of nowhere, put it on the lunch box in Kui Niu's hand, and waved his hand lightly, "It's all right to see when you're full, I'm leaving."

Kui Niu bowed his head, and there were five big characters printed on the top of the booklet—"Monster Race Management Law".

Kui Niu: "..."

He raised his head and found that the little monster had already gone far away. He curled his lips, rolled up the booklet and stuffed it into his cuffs, holding the lunch box and began to eat his first meal in the human world.

The author has something to say: Kuí (kuí) ox: shaped like an ox, with a pale body and no horns, one foot, when entering and exiting water, there must be wind and rain, its light is like the sun and moon, and its sound is like thunder, its name is Kui.From "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Dong Jing"

Most of the monsters in this article come from "Shan Hai Jing" and various legends and stories, but because the writing needs to have the author's own setting and understanding, don't be too particular, don't take it seriously, bow down!
