Xia Li was walking in a bookstore at this time, took down a comic from the shelf, and then took it to the checkout counter.
"14 yuan."
Xia Li took out his mobile phone, scanned the QR code to pay, then quickly removed the plastic cover of the comic, and walked out while reading the comic.
The name of this comic is "The Kingdom of Evil Spirits". The author is Qiao Chuyi, who is the top cartoonist in China. This comic is now the largest IP in Chinese comics. The first season of the animation has just been completed. It can be said that in
It has become very popular in the domestic two-dimensional circle. And the TV series of the same name has also started filming.
This is the 21st single volume of "Evil Spirit", and the plot has begun to heat up.
Xia Li opened the comic and started to read the plot inside.
At this moment, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
Xia Li turned around and saw that the person behind was Zhu Yuyan.
Ever since the two of them performed the Scarlet Mission together and survived, Zhu Yuyan has basically become Xia Li's follower. No matter where Xia Li goes, she will follow her. It is said that she wants to repay Xia Li.
The life-saving grace in "Words in Blood", but Xia Li naturally knew that she wanted to hug him like a big thigh.
"Xia Li, do you like reading horror comics like this?"
Zhu Yuyan stared at "The Kingdom of Evil" in Xia Li's hand and immediately said: "Actually, I also follow this comic!"
Although Xia Li was not disgusted with Zhu Yuyan's behavior of hanging around him, it did cause some trouble.
But when he heard her say this, Xia Li turned around and said, "Have you seen it?"
Zhu Yuyan didn't expect that a person with Xia Li's character would still pursue the second dimension, so she was a little surprised. She quickly said: "Well, I know, apart from Yu Liyan, my favorite Chinese comic is Qiao Chuyi's comic, especially this one
"The Kingdom of Evil".
This comic has been serialized in the semi-monthly magazine "Shenman" for ten years, and was later serialized on the Internet. When Zhu Yuyan started chasing this comic, she had not even started to engage in the fraud and crime of drinking and betrothal.
.
The plot of "The Kingdom of Evil" is that in an imaginary country, the abolitionists and the death penalty factions argued endlessly over the abolition of the death penalty. In the end, they chose a compromise plan, which was to deprive all death row inmates of all legal rights.
When they are released into society, the people will decide whether they live or die.
That is to say, any actions of these death-row prisoners by any citizen are considered legal. Whether it is intentional injury, indecent rape, or even direct killing, they will not be prosecuted by law. There is no way for these death-row prisoners to maintain legal rights.
With private property, there is no way to get a job or buy insurance. But in contrast, any criminal behavior committed by a death row inmate is also exempt from legal prosecution, but is decided by the citizens themselves. The implementation of this law expresses the "democratic state"
The spirit of the rule of law” and “giving power to the people”.
The male protagonist of "The Kingdom of Evil" is a death row inmate who was falsely accused of murder. Due to the implementation of this law, he was able to avoid death, but because of this, he was hunted by all the citizens. In the end, he had to fight with other people on death row.
They joined forces with criminals, purchased firearms, and finally slaughtered the enemy's family and established a gang. Since their crimes were no longer subject to criminal prosecution, the gang they established was also legal.
The plot is quite absurd, but the author's style of painting is very solid, and the characters are quite beautiful.
But what I didn't expect was that when the plot started in episode 4, supernatural elements were suddenly introduced, turning it into an out-and-out horror story.
"I was also surprised by the unfolding story at the beginning of Chapter 4. It suddenly turned into a horror comic, and the protagonist Xiao Tianyi..."
Zhu Yuyan wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Xia Li.
"I know the plot very well, I don't need you to repeat it." Xia Li picked up the comic, pointed at the male protagonist on the cover, and said, "What do you think of the protagonist in the comic?"
"Xiao Tianyi, of course he is handsome!"
"anything else?"
“It’s cool, stylish, and very loyal!”
"He killed a lot of people."
Hearing these words, Zhu Yuyan was stunned and immediately realized that Xia Li didn't seem to like the protagonist, so she quickly changed her words: "Yes. Indeed, he also killed many innocent people..."
"Since he killed so many innocent people..."
Xia Li wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
Then, he grabbed the comic in his hand and said, "I've told you many times, you don't have to follow me all the time. If I can help, I will definitely help."
Zhu Yuyan bit her lip tightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"I...I just want to follow you. If you need anything, I will be willing to help."
Xia Li grabbed the comic in his hand and turned around.
He has no interest in a gaudy and superficial woman like Zhu Yuyan. Her flirtatious seductions during this period were directly filtered in his eyes.
He continued to open the comic and read a few more pages.
At this time, an extremely beautiful woman appeared in the comics.
On the screen, the dialog box above the woman's head read: "Dr. Qin, I heard that you are planning to leave the 'Kingdom'?"
Turning to the second page, a very old, bald, middle-aged doctor appeared.
"My life is not long. I thought, even if I die, I will go back and visit my parents' graves again."
"Although the medical resources here cannot be compared with the outside world, you also know that there is nothing we can do here..."
"Don't worry." Doctor Xie Ding said, "I won't tell anyone..."
At this point, the author draws the key content on the next page.
Xia Li quickly turned over.
Then, he saw a dialog box that took up about half of the page.
The dialog box said "You belong to Shen Weishu."
Zhu Yuyan had been walking forward, but Xia Li stopped unexpectedly, and her whole face hit Xia Li's back.
"summer……"
She suddenly noticed that Xia Li's body began to tremble desperately.
"Shen... Wei... Shu..."
Xia Li looked in disbelief. He used to be able to remain calm when facing evil spirits on an uninhabited island, but now he continued to turn the pages of the comic with trembling hands.
Dr. Xie Ding continued: "I performed plastic surgery on you to repay your father. No one will know about this."
Xia Li turned over about ten pages of the comic and his face became extremely pale.
Zhu Yuyan on the side was stunned, wondering what happened to Xia Li.
"turn out to be……"
He clutched the comic tightly, and the book he had just bought was crumpled into a big ball.
Suddenly, heavy rain began to fall in the sky.
"Ah... it's... raining, Xia Li!"
However, this sudden heavy rain made Xia Li have no intention of retreating. At this time, he seemed to have turned into a walking zombie and had no feeling for the rain.
Zhu Yuyan held him tightly, called a taxi on the side of the road, and pulled him in.
After closing the door, the driver asked: "Where are you going?"
"Well, let's go to Kurotuchuan Road..."
Suddenly, Xia Yuan grabbed Zhu Yuyan's hand and roared: "I don't want to go to that apartment!"
Zhu Yuyan was startled and could only change her words immediately: "Then...then, where to go?"
“Anywhere, except an apartment!”
…
After being released from prison, Zhu Yuyan had no face to go back to her hometown to see her parents. She worked outside and failed to learn well. Instead, she was sentenced for fraud. Her parents were criticized by countless people in their hometown in the countryside. Therefore, she wanted to change her mind and start a new life.
At first, she looked for a serious job. However, before she could find a rental house, she entered an apartment. Therefore, she had no other place to live.
So...she dragged Xia Li into a hotel. When she tentatively asked for a room at the front desk, Xia Li, who was in a zombie state, did not even object.
After bringing Xia Li into the room, she looked at the man in front of her carefully. After a while, she tried to turn on the TV and said, "How about... watch... the TV first?"
At this time, the TV station was sending news.
The host said: "Now broadcast the next news..."
"Xia Li, what's wrong with you?"
Before Zhu Yuyan had time to ask further questions, she suddenly heard the news anchor on the TV behind her say such a sentence.
"Yesterday, in the Xinlun District of this city, a number of men wearing gray masks appeared with guns and injured people. So far, two people have died and five have been injured. These criminals wearing masks have been controlled by the police..."
