86: Chapter 83 Demon Master An Ran 86: Chapter 83 Demon Master An Ran “Speak up, kid, or is it that you’re scared and planning to run away?”
The lynx slowly approached, revealing its sharp fangs and arching its back, ready to attack.
Xiao Jie felt a chill in his heart and hastily tested, “You’re a player, right?”
“Player?” The lynx showed a puzzled look, as if trying to rember sothing.
“It seems so, I am…
a player, from Old Soil…
Nine States, I seem to have forgotten sothing very important…
Damn, why can’t I rember?”
But first, let fill my stomach and then think slowly, I haven’t had a full al in days, and since you’ve entered my territory, be prepared to beco prey.”
“To be exact, this place is under municipal control, plus, if you dare to hurt , you won’t get away, rember the Player Managent Act, right?
Killing soone in reality ans you’ll be caught and eliminated.”
The lynx’s claws stopped abruptly in mid-air, “Player Managent Act?
Reality?” The wild and fierce expression on its face disappeared in an instant, “Player Managent Act?
What is that?
That’s right, I seem to rember now.” The lynx looked confused one mont and fierce the next, as if it would pounce any second but also as if it were recalling sothing.
Xiao Jie was puzzled, this creature seed not quite lucid, but it did seem to be a player for sure.
Since it worked, he might as well try to wake her up.
“Hey, do you rember your na?
Your human na?”
“Na?
My na?
I’m called…
I’m called…
I’m called An Ran, yes, that’s my na!
I’m a player.”
She shook her head, her expression like soone waking from a dream; then she looked down at her claws, noticed feathers and blood, and seed taken aback.
The next second, the lynx’s body suddenly grew taller, the fur quickly shedding to reveal a woman.
The woman had ssy short hair and a well-built figure, her eyes bright and expressing a raw beauty.
Only the blood around her mouth made her look sowhat frightening.
Still sowhat dazed, the woman looked around confusedly, her mouth covered in blood.
Her body wasn’t too dirty, except for the woolen sweater that seed to have been licked by cats, all pilled up.
She touched the dried blood on the corner of her mouth, glanced at the bones on the ground, and suddenly retched violently.
Coughing, she finally spat out a hairball and stopped.
“Damn it, what the hell have I been eating these past few days?”
She rummaged through the bones and feathers, then sighed with relief.
“Thank goodness…”
Xiao Jie wondered what she ant by ‘thank goodness’.
She couldn’t be worried she had eaten a human, could she?
“So you really are a player?”
“Yes, and you are a player too?”
Xiao Jie nodded.
The woman smiled with relief, “Ha, it looks like I’m in luck.
My master warned that practicing the Shape-shifting Demon Technique could affect one’s mind, but I thought it was just talk.
After all, there was no such chanism in the ga, but who would have thought that after transforming in reality, I almost forgot who I was.
Thanks, I could have been lost without you, better be more careful next ti.”
Indeed she was a player, and from what she said, one specialized in Demon Art.
“So what’s all this commotion about?”
The woman wanted to explain but her stomach growled, “Are you hungry?
Let’s go eat sothing first.”
——————
Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Jie and the woman were sitting in a braised pork bone restaurant, watching her devour a large pot of aty bones, both in silence.
This woman really could eat; half of the large pot of braised bones disappeared in a blink.
Her sharp, white teeth tore off large chunks of at, chewed a couple of tis, and gulped it down.
The sight of her eating heartily even astonished two uncles drinking nearby.
Ugh!
The woman put down her bone and let out a satisfied belch.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
“I’ve already eaten.”
“Then I won’t be polite,” she said, taking the bones in front of Xiao Jie, and this ti her eating was sowhat more normal.
“So you’re also an Old Earth player?”
“Of course, who else could it be but a player?
By the way, I should thank you for earlier.”
“Thank ?”
“Let’s introduce ourselves properly, I’m An Ran.” The woman extended a greasy hand.
“Xiao Jie.” He shook her only slightly less oily hand nonchalantly.
The woman didn’t mind and continued gnawing on her bones.
“My master told , the first Transformation could be dangerous, and I didn’t take it seriously, but after becoming an animal, suddenly the world didn’t feel like the sa anymore.
The streets, buildings, people, suddenly seed very dangerous.
Only the small mountain and the woods in Huqiu Park felt sowhat familiar.
I just ran and ran until I reached the mountain.
During the day, I hid in the observation tower and at night, I’d hunt for squirrels, pigeons, or whatever for food.
Ugh, just thinking about it makes sick.” She shivered reflexively, looking amused and slightly traumatized at the recollection.
Listening to her story, Xiao Jie seed contemplative and slowly said, “The world looks different to humans and animals.
For wild beasts, life is only about survival and predation, only the distinction between prey and predator.
There’s only their own territory and strange, dangerous areas.
But humans, after millions of years of evolution, have these mories of wilderness survival only as a subconscious.
That’s why when you turned into a lynx, you felt fear, because your human cognition beca subconscious, while the beast’s cognition beca the primary consciousness.”
