It's a monster

Jincheng, late summer.

The sun was shining on the treetops, there were not many pedestrians in the alley, and even the cicadas were weak in the sultry weather.

Xu You took out a hammer from the toolbox, repaired the signboard at the entrance of the store with a few "boom bang", then stretched his neck and asked suspiciously: "Brother Shi, what are you staring at your phone? Thinking, maybe something happened in the north of the city again?"

The man leaning on the sofa raised his eyes lazily: "My expression looks like something happened to the demon group in the north of the city?"

"No." Xu You answered matter-of-factly, "Your expression looks like Aunt Wang Cuifen across the street. After three months of intrigue and clique formation, you are finally happy to be the chief dancer of the colorful life square dance team. Joy, But due to his noble status, he couldn't show too much joy, so he forced out a very false flattery."

"Get out!" Shi Wenze grabbed two handfuls of hair, stood up staggeringly with one hand supported, his whole body was hidden in the orange evening sun outside the window against the light.

He is tall and tall, with his hair cut short, and the laziness in his expression conceals part of his vigor, and he can even be called a dog when he smiles, but...how should I put it, just like Aunt Wang's false flattery, sometimes Wen Ze's kindness is also very suspenseful, so even though he is as handsome as a TV star, no neighbor's aunt has come to the house to talk about matchmaking.

Shi Wenze stretched his muscles and casually picked up the helmet on the coffee table: "I'm going out for a while."

"Leave now? Then when will you come back, the Demon Management Committee will have to—"

The motorcycle was wrapped in a hot summer wind and went away arrogantly.

Xu You: "..."

Recently, subways are being repaired everywhere in the city. Shi Wenze walked through the green barriers all the way, and finally stopped at No. 13 Bailu Street. What appeared in front of him was an independent two-story light gray building. The construction team came in and out. , finishing works are being carried out in an orderly manner.The name of the store is "Jie". It is estimated that at least 50.00% of passers-by will hesitate a little when passing by the pronunciation of this word.

Very literary, very floating, very Lin Su.

"Jie" is a gallery. Shi Wenze found this information on the Internet. At the same time, there is a photo of the owner of the gallery on the Internet. Lin Su is wearing a white shirt. Some kind of long-winged white bird on the sea doesn't like to land, but only likes to be free.

This is nothing to be surprised at, artists like freedom.

Shi Wenze parked the motorcycle, threw a cigarette to the worker next to him, struck up a conversation with him, and quickly figured out what Lin Su was doing tonight.

"Brother Lin won't be here tonight. I heard him call at noon, and he seems to be going to the Performing Arts Center to watch a celebrity concert."

"Thanks." Shi Wenze put on his helmet, twisted the accelerator with one hand, and with a "boom" on the big motorcycle, he rejoined the rolling traffic.

The concert started at 07:30 p.m., but until 28:[-], there were still few people in the venue.The tickets Shi Wenze bought were in the last row. He found his seat and glanced at the theme of the concert—"The Prosperity Has Arrived" Xia Jiayang's birthday concert.

Shi Wenze looked at the strange little star on the stage, and lightly clasped the armrest of the seat with his right hand. After the headlights in the venue were turned off one by one, he habitually slightly bent his index finger, forming a small black hurricane on his fingertips. Hovering, just about to see if there are any ferocious beasts sneaking in here to make trouble, a friendly sentence suddenly sounded in his ear: "Handsome guy!"

Shi Wenze quickly grasped his right hand. In a city where humans and monsters coexist, monsters always need to be vigilant at all times.

"Handsome guy." The girl next to him called again, looking surprised, "Are you Jiajia's fan too?"

Shi Wenze: "I don't—"

"Come on!" the girl dragged his arm forward without saying a word, "The front is empty, you sit there and help us to hold up the space, and we will take pictures later, by the way, handsome guy, you add backup Do you have it? Do you have a light sign? Do you have a wristband? Do you have a wristband? Come, come, give you some light sticks, sit down first, and then I will go and get all the other loose powders!"

Because of the phrase "bring all other loose powder", Shi Wenze swallowed the rest of the words, and took the light sign with a good attitude.With the efforts of the support club, the number of people in this area gradually increased, but Lin Su still didn't even have a shadow.Shi Wenze turned his head and asked the girl: "Hey, are there so many of you?"

"No." The other party replied without changing his expression, "We still have two large VIP groups, hundreds of people, the road is blocked, and the subway has been repaired recently."

So Shi Wenze leaned back in the chair again, raised his eyelids and glanced at the people on the stage.The starlets these days are all similar in appearance, with chestnut-colored semi-long hair and fair skin. They look young, and they can hardly hide their nervousness when chatting with fans. They are stuttering, but they arouse the mother's love in the audience, screaming endlessly .

"Jiajia!" The girl stood up and shouted loudly, "You have to work hard! Look! Your male fan is here too!"

Shi Wenze: "?"

Xia Jiayang really looked this way, and waved his hand proactively.

Shi Wenze: "..."

"Handsome guy, join a group." The girl handed over the phone again, "Jiajia doesn't have many male fans, Jincheng only has a dozen or so in total, and all of them are in the group."

All are in the group.

Shi Wenze clicked on the QR code, and felt that this was not like a star chasing organization, but like a pyramid scheme.

Every sentence focuses on the pain points of users, brainwashing first-class.

There are more than 80 members in the WeChat group. Shi Wenze looked over one by one, but he couldn't find anyone. The show on stage was coming to an end. It can be seen that the legendary "two large groups" will not appear again. The probability is that Nonsense comes out to support the existence of the scene.

The phone was still buzzing and vibrating, Xu You raised his voice on the other end: "Brother Shi, what time is it, are you going to the Demon Management Committee?"

"Go, half an hour." Shi Wenze walked out following the crowd, "Wait, I'll go get some gas first."

"Hey, handsome guy, wait for me!" The girl from before chased after him, "I have a mask——"

Shi Wenze straddled his motorcycle and walked away in a cool and unrestrained manner.

"..."

"Xiao Lu, who are you talking to?" The rest of the support team asked in confusion.

"Male fan, how rare, it's so rare to protect animals, I originally wanted to give him a set of facial masks signed by Jiajia." Lin Lu packed her schoolbag, "I'll go back first."

"Leaving so early? We plan to go to Haidilao for dinner."

"My brother is sick, so I have to go back to take care of him." Lin Lu shook her phone, "Withdrawn, we will make an appointment on the weekend."

The place where she lives is not far from the Performing Arts Center. It takes 15 minutes to take the last subway.

Qinghu Garden is an old villa area in Jincheng. Because it is well maintained, it does not look dilapidated. The community is full of flowers and trees, and it is a forest of white mist hidden in the urban buildings.

There were large sunflowers blooming in the yard. Lin Lu walked through the stone path, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw a person standing in front of the kitchen stove.

Lin Su turned to look at her: "I'm hungry."

Lin Lu's forehead hurts: "Didn't I cook porridge for you?"

Lin Su studied the vinegar bottle: "It's tasteless in my mouth, I want to eat sour."

Sour if you want to eat sour, Lin Lu glanced into the pot again: "Why did you press the pot with the iPad, do you feel ashamed of this cucumber, afraid that it will suddenly cheat?"

"...I accidentally fell in." Lin Su hung the apron on her body, and changed the subject without shame, "How was the concert?"

"It must be hot." Lin Lu took out the cucumber from the refrigerator, "We, Jiajia, will be a popular superstar and will be the king of the next stage."

Lin Su ruthlessly pierced it: "Need you alone to split up [-] trumpets to activate the atmosphere of the forum?"

"What do you know? This is called cultivation." Lin Lu threw the phone to him, "And our support club is constantly expanding, and there is an extra male fan in this concert."

"The increase of your fans is in single digits—" Lin Su stopped abruptly in the middle of his words. He looked at the man in the group photo who was clinging to Xia Jiayang, and the winter thunder shook Xia Yuxue deep in his heart. He didn't organize human beings well for a long time language.

"Give me some vinegar?" Lin Lu asked two or three times, but didn't see any response from the other party, so she waved her hand in front of him wonderingly, "Brother? What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Lin Su asked, "The person holding the lamp is also a fan of Xia Jiayang?"

"Of course, I'm willing to buy a ticket to attend the birthday party. I'm a 100% fanatical fan." Lin Lu adjusted the sauce, "This handsome guy has joined the WeChat group. We plan to ask him out at the next city event."

Lin Su's mood was indescribable. He tried to overlap this star fanatic with the person in his memory, but failed.So he returned the phone to Lin Lu, turned around and went back to the bedroom upstairs, unbuttoned the collar of his pajamas, and started to work.

First measure the body temperature, then take a photo of the thermometer, then half-drawn the curtains, tidy the hair, look up at the sky at 45 degrees, take [-] continuous shots in one go, pick one with the best angle, and five softwares take turns to edit the picture, and the filter selects "urban gray" "Tune" with the text "Unaccompanied summer night, a heart floating alone in the clouds", click to send, and at the same time don't forget to open the WeChat settings to allow strangers to view ten circles of friends.

The technique is smooth and flowing, and the sadness is very skillful.

Five minutes later, Lin Lu knocked on the door with a cucumber in her hand: "Brother, you just have gastroenteritis caused by eating too many strawberry popsicles. I don't think you need to be so sad."

Lin Su sat cross-legged on the bed, changed his WeChat profile picture to the old tree on the high school playground, raised his head and ordered his sister: "Pull me into the group."

Lin Lu didn't realize it: "What group?"

Lin Suhao replied coldly: "Xia Jiayang fan group."

Lin Lu stayed where she was, thinking that her brother might have more than a low fever of 37 degrees Celsius: "How about... let's go to the hospital?"

Lin Su rejected the proposal, and after joining the group, he forced Lin Lu@全部members to extend a warm welcome to himself.

Lin Lu: "..."

In the other corner of the city, in the brightly lit building of the Demon Management Committee, Shi Wenze was nestling on the sofa, absent-minded, scrolling through the files on his phone, and then he saw something, and suddenly his face turned serious. , The whole person sat up straight in an instant.

"Brother Shi, what's wrong?" Xu You was taken aback.

"It's nothing." Shi Wenze pretended to be calm, looking at the new member of the fan group, he tried to click on the profile picture of the other party. He didn't have any hope at first, but unexpectedly, he really opened the circle of friends. He was nervous for a while, The phone almost fell to the ground.

"Xiaowen." A middle-aged man walked in from the door. He was Zhou Yuansong, the head of the Monster Emergency Management Department, and asked casually, "What are you looking at?"

"I have a friend who has a fever." Shi Wenze touched his nose, "I want to find out what medicine to buy for him."

Minister Zhou passed on the experience of those who have experienced it: "Drink more hot water."

Xu You gritted his teeth when he heard that.

Shi Wenze also felt that these four words sounded like a single curse, so he clicked on the search engine and entered a forum that looked professional and extraordinary. Visitors asked questions, what should I do if I have a fever in summer?

Soon, many enthusiastic netizens answered that there are many reasons for summer fever, and the common one is respiratory tract infection. You have to check if you have sneezing, chills, coughing, or headache?If the fever is below 38.5°C, it can be physically cooled. First, buy some small mushroom cooling stickers.

Someone asked again, how old is your baby this year?

Faced with this kind of intimate title, Shi Wenze waved his hand, my baby is 25 years old this year.

The next moment, he was kicked out by the administrator of the "Baby Bear" parenting forum.
