The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 15 The Temple of Talent
Gao Yang knew that Qing Ling was not joking, and this man had never been joking.

The current situation was within his expectation. Gao Yang's decision to save Wang Zikai at that time was actually not entirely the Virgin's behavior. He had other concerns, but he didn't think clearly about it for a while.

After thinking about it all day today, he almost figured it out.Next was his performance moment, and he decided to perform the most powerful secret in the hot-blooded comics - Mouth Escape!
"Qing Ling, I know that you can survive for such a long time because of your extreme caution and decisiveness in killing."

"There's no point in flattering," Qing Ling said coldly.

"Then let me ask you a question: What is your purpose for living?"

"What is the purpose of surviving? Do you want to die?" Qing Ling didn't understand.

"Of course I don't want to die, but everyone will die. Even if you live to be 100 years old, you will die." Gao Yang himself smiled a little embarrassedly: "But when you live, you can't just eat, drink, and have diarrhea. You always have something to think about." Something to do, right?”

Qing Ling was silent.

"You should think about this question slowly and don't answer it in a hurry." Gao Yang said, "I'll give you a reason first not to kill Wang Zikai."

"Say."

"Although I have only been awakened for a few days, I have already deeply realized that being an awakened person is very dangerous. The reason why you can live so long is not entirely because you are strong and cautious."

"It's also because I have a second personality." Qing Ling herself knew it very well.

"Yes, once you become an awakened person, you will instinctively reject, alienate and guard against all beasts. Beasts other than the lost can detect this, and over time the awakened ones will show their flaws. But you are different, you have a second personality , although your second personality is also very cold and misogynistic, she can get along well with all animals."

"Other awakened people are not so lucky. Like me, like Pang Jun, no matter how good our acting skills are, we are always on guard against beasts. Once we find other awakened people, we will instinctively want to stick together. Teaming up seems to make us safer , but actually..."

Qing Ling stepped out of the shadows and said, "More dangerous."

"Yes, these beasts are not stupid. Although according to Fat Jun's observation, they are pretending to be humans 24 hours a day. They will not take the initiative to test, seduce, intimidate, or attack unawakened humans. But this does not mean that , they will not observe or pay attention to us when they come into contact with us humans."

"Li Weiwei is the best proof. Before this, she and I were childhood sweethearts and talked about everything. But when I woke up, she immediately showed her true colors and put me to death."

Qing Ling nodded: "If more than a few humans are closely connected, they have reason to doubt whether these humans are awakened. After all, at a ratio of one in ten thousand, this is not normal."

Gao Yang sighed, "Yes, but if we don't stick together, we won't be able to get more information, master more rules, and find the truth... In this way, even if we each live to be 100 years old, we will still-" Gao Yang paused for a second. , quoting Officer Huang’s words in a measured tone: “He is an orphan abandoned by God.”

Qing Ling's eyes wandered, lost in thought.

"Back to my question just now," Gao Yang took a step forward, "Qing Ling, what are you living for? Don't you want to figure out why the world has become like this? Don't you want to figure out the truth behind it? In other words, we Whether we can escape to a truly safe place or even defeat these beasts, these are what we must do."

Qing Ling was silent.

Gao Yang felt that there was something going on, and his voice became more passionate: "Now here comes the problem. Only by joining together can we, the awakened ones, become stronger and win the final victory. But once we join together, we will increase the risk of exposure, which will lead to us losing control before we have enough advantages." will be wiped out."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Qing Ling asked.

“There is a way right before our eyes that can effectively reduce our risk of exposure.”

"The lost one." Qing Ling figured it out.

"Yes, the lost ones are the best smoke bombs." Gao Yang reasoned reasonably: "The beasts are acting as humans every minute, so a beast may be able to recognize the same kind, but it may not be able to tell what kind of beast the other is. As long as we always keep Wang Zikai with us, we won't arouse the suspicion of other beasts."

"Furthermore, judging from the trajectory of my life, Wang Zikai and I are good friends. You only have a relationship with me because of Li Weiwei's death... It is reasonable for the three of us to be together in the future. On the contrary, if you kill him now It would be too suspicious to drop Wang Zikai."

Qing Ling nodded: "Li Weiwei is your childhood sweetheart, and also my best friend. Wang Zikai is your good friend. If both of their beasts are dead, and we two humans have frequent contact, it will only arouse more suspicion." "

Gao Yang smiled, "It's important to maintain a close relationship with the beast. This is a kind of cover. There should be this reason why Officer Huang didn't kill Uncle Liu."

Qing Ling said: "Okay, you convinced me."

Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief: Huh, I finally got through it.

……

In the evening, Gao Yang returned home and everything was as usual. His parents complained about his behavior of staying out all night, but they didn't notice anything else.

Gao Yang dealt with it, returned to the bedroom, locked the door, lay on the bed, and closed his eyes.

……

Early the next morning, it rained lightly.

Gao Yang held an umbrella and walked on the wet and congested streets. He watched the office workers waiting for traffic lights in despair and crowding buses and subway stations. He couldn't help but sigh - these beasts are really dedicated. They used to be called "social animals" , I didn’t expect it to be true.

Gao Yang went to school. During the morning self-study period, the head teacher walked in: "Gao Yang, Qing Ling, the police are here. I want you to go to the office about Li Weiwei."

It was clear that it had only been a few days since Li Weiwei's death, but when the head teacher talked about her, his face no longer held heaviness and regret, but became very cold and even a little impatient.

Gao Yang and Qing Ling got up and walked out of the classroom and came to the office.

Officer Huang was sitting in his office smoking. There were no other teachers inside.

"Have you dealt with the matter last time?" Qing Ling asked.

"Don't worry, there are no traces left." Officer Huang flicked the ashes from his cigarette, "I heard from Fat Jun the reason for your failure."

"We can do it again." Qing Ling said, "This time it will definitely be successful."

Officer Huang was noncommittal. He put the cigarette butt into the ashtray and slowly extinguished it: "My wife and I have known each other since high school. She is my first love. We have been together for many years. I think I know her well enough. I mean ...As a 'human being', I understand her very well."

Officer Huang stood up and looked around, and after confirming that the office was absolutely safe, he lowered his voice and continued: "But some time ago, my wife became something strange. I thought at the time that she might have discovered something and started to doubt me. Although I have never tested my wife, I have always thought that she is a lost person, but if she starts to doubt me, she will never be a lost person."

"During this period, I have been struggling painfully with fear and anxiety, and finally I had the intention to kill her. It happened that I met you again, and that's why I took this action."

Officer Huang raised his hands, rubbed his face violently, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, it didn't succeed, otherwise I would be worse off than dead for the rest of my life."

"Has the plan changed?" Gao Yang asked.

"Yes, the plan has changed." Officer Huang stood up, "I found out last night that I had misunderstood my wife. She was hiding something from me and that's why she was in trouble. She confessed to me last night. To be honest, she knew that I was very shocked afterwards.”

"what's up?"

"My wife," Officer Huang looked at Gao Yang and Qing Ling with a faint look, "is pregnant."
