The exciting music and drum beats, accompanied by bursts of screaming carnival, filled the song and dance hall with a buzz of people.

Backstage at break.

Yuan Qingqing sat in front of the dressing table, applying lipstick carefully, and then she went on stage to sing.

It is her dream to be a musician, a dream that can help her realize her bigger dream of reaching the inner city - if she can become famous.

She felt that her singing voice could impress the discerning ears of the upper class, but unfortunately she could only accompany these creatures who didn't understand appreciation and could only howl in this small dance hall.

This is really a waste.

Soon, after finishing her eye makeup, she pursed her bright red lips and subconsciously touched her shoulder, where some hair was itching.

But after flirting with her, she realized that she had cut her hair short.

Maybe it was just cut... I'm not used to it yet.

It's a body illusion.

Yuan Qingqing was about to get up when she suddenly saw a baby crawling behind the mirror.

baby?

Who brought the child to the dressing room? What bad luck!

Yuan Qingqing's expression darkened, and she turned around to look around, only to see other colleagues walking around. She didn't see any babies, but there was a wet mark on the ground, like the urine of a baby when it crawled.

…

It doesn't seem like an illusion.

Did he hide? Or crawled into a corner?

Yuan Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little worried. If adults neglected to supervise him, something big would happen to such a young child if he was stepped on without paying attention.

"Qingqing, the place has been heated up for you, it's time for you to show off." A woman dressed in smoky make-up walked in and said with a smile.

Yuan Qingqing smiled back, but secretly despised her in her heart, "Slut, it's really sad for me to share the stage with a guy like you!"

"Yeah, thank you!" she said.

He got up and walked outside.

That baby...forget it, what does it have to do with me?

She raised her hand and touched her shoulders. The friction of her hair reminded her that her long hair had fallen down to her neck, but it was obviously empty. She was a little helpless. It seemed that her hair had been growing for too long and her body was still not used to it.

Opening the door, the music playing outside suddenly changed from dull to loud.

In front is a passage leading to the front court, and from here you can already hear the sounds of the atmosphere staff outside performing hard.

Yuan Qingqing straightened her neck slightly, adjusted her throat, and stepped forward step by step on high heels.

Tick, tick.

As she walked, Yuan Qingqing suddenly felt that the light around her seemed to have dimmed.

Is it an illusion?

She raised her head and glanced at the light above. It was not broken.

The restless music suddenly became dull at this moment, as if he had returned to the dressing room and closed the door.

What's going on? Is there something wrong with the speakers tonight? Yuan Qingqing frowned and couldn't help but curse in her heart.

"Qingqing, Qingqing..."

Suddenly, Yuan Qingqing heard someone calling her.

Are you my fan?

Yuan Qingqing's bad mood has improved slightly. Although her fans are basically accumulated from the song and dance hall, they are all guys who don't understand appreciation, but they will eventually become the cornerstone of her reputation and help her move into the inner city.

, shuttle among those real celebrities and nobles, without being stained by dust.

Soon, she walked through the passage, followed the steps, and arrived on the singing stage of the dance hall outside.

Looking at the cheering and writhing crowd inside, Yuan Qingqing had a flash of disgust in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up by a smile. She walked forward, grabbed the microphone, and prepared to speak.

But when I grabbed it with my palm, I couldn't grasp it.

Huh? Yuan Qingqing was stunned. She looked at the microphone in front of her and tried to grab it again. Her palm actually passed through the microphone and the stand. Her eyes widened and she was a little surprised.

This scene was so incredible that it subverted her understanding.

"Qingqing, Qingqing!"

At this time, the voice of the fans calling earlier was getting closer and closer.

Yuan Qingqing felt the itch of hair rubbing on her shoulder again. She was a little irritated and scratched it with her nails.

"Qingqing!"

The sound was closer, and this time Yuan Qingqing heard it. What surprised her was that the sound seemed to come from the ceiling.

She looked up,

This sight immediately burst the corners of her eyes.

She saw the most horrific scene in her life.

A man with a naked upper body as slender as a python hung from the ceiling, holding a lot of hair in his hand, less than ten centimeters above her head. Some of the hair swayed and fell down, just in time.

on her shoulders.

That itchy feeling of hair moving...

"Qingqing, why do you want to cut off that fat guy's hair? I like your long hair best..."

With an expression of obsession and flattery on his face, the man handed the hair in his hand to Yuan Qingqing: "Look, I picked it up for you. I'll help you take it back!"

Yuan Qingqing opened her mouth wide, and fear filled her mouth like a fist. She couldn't close it for a moment, and she couldn't make a sound. She just stared at this scene blankly.

This is the most dazzling place in the song and dance hall, the place where everyone is watching, but the people reveling in the audience don't seem to have even glanced at her.

The staff nearby also maintained a motionless alert posture, turning a blind eye to the horrific scene here.

Are you... all blind?!!

Yuan Qingqing was almost overwhelmed by this intense fear.

"Come on, I'll help you take it back..." The man looked obsessed: "You look better that way. I like you with long hair best..."

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Yuan Qingqing finally woke up from the fear and burst into the loudest scream in her life.

But the surrounding carnival crowd still didn't react, and no one even took a second look.

Surrounded by the hustle and bustle, there is a sense of isolation and loneliness.

Yuan Qingqing has always maintained this mentality, but this time, she felt this real situation firsthand!

"You, can't you all see this?!" Yuan Qingqing finally collapsed, backed up, looked around, and issued a frightened and angry cry for help.

Suddenly, her heel touched a wet and cold object.

She stopped and turned around to look.

A baby was supporting her body and hugging her calf. The newborn's wrinkled little face raised its head and showed a painful expression to her: "Mom, the sewer is so cold, why don't you take me home?"

Yuan Qingqing's whole body was as cold as ice, and her reason collapsed at this moment like a dam bursting, and she let out a piercing scream.

"It seems that both of them are..." a young man's voice suddenly sounded.

Yuan Qingqing looked in horror, only to see a figure wearing gray clothes and carrying a long sword rushing towards him.

His figure walked directly through the crowd under the stage and overlapped with those reveling in the carnival, but was not affected.

Xu Shen noticed it when the other party screamed for the first time. It was just that the other baby looked a little weird, and it looked like Xu, but he couldn't confirm whether it was deeper or not.

After all, Xu's strength cannot be judged by appearance.

For example, Maeve, who is like the girl next door to him, who looks harmless to humans and animals but makes people feel a strong desire to protect her, is an extremely scary guy.

Even the young man in his second form had no awareness of her at all.

"Don't be afraid." Xu Shen comforted him while running.

Mainly because the screaming was too harsh... He was afraid that his eardrums wouldn't be able to bear it.

Yuan Qingqing's expression was dull and a little confused. Her remaining sense told her that the young man in front of her might be normal...at least that's what it looked like on the surface.

Don't be afraid?

How can you not be afraid of this situation?!!

"Another troublemaker. Why do troublesome guys always appear when Qingqing and I are alone?" When the man saw Xu Shen, the affectionate expression on his face suddenly turned to anger and viciousness.

He stuffed the hair in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it, then crawled quickly towards Xu Shen.

His upper body was as slender as a python, but his lower body had four legs, with the soles of his feet like a lizard. The moment he rushed in front of Xu Shen, he suddenly shot towards the ceiling, and with a weird and twisted posture, he swooped down from the ceiling extremely quickly.

This instantaneous change of direction is enough to make most people fall into a brief daze due to lack of reaction. Even if it only takes 0.1 seconds, it is already too late to parry.

puff!

The sword edge passed by, and the man's body exploded instantly as he swooped down.

The sharp sword blade slashed from his head, extending directly to his chest, abdomen, and upper body, all tearing apart!

This is not because Xu Shen's reaction speed is faster than ordinary people, but because his fighting style is different from others. He is used to taking action only when he is close to danger around him.

When within a one-meter range, even this beast will attack with all its strength, and it is impossible to change its moves, which will weaken the force of the attack. Therefore, there is no need to think, just draw the sword as quickly as possible and slash.

That's all.

Black blood spattered like a fountain, falling all over Xu Shen's body, including sticky hair.

The man's upper body was split in half and fell to the ground, but his tenacious vitality did not die instantly. Instead, he looked at Yuan Qingqing, who was completely frightened next to him.

"I... like... your long-haired... model..."

puff!

The sword light passed by and cut off his head.

"Can still talk..." Xu Shen was a little surprised. The vitality of this beast was a bit too tenacious.
