The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 280 True and Cruel

"Here you go! Let's have some soup!"

Wang Zikai came over carrying a small iron bucket, half filled with crushed ice cubes and several bottles of iced drinks.

He placed the iron bucket on the coffee table, sat down next to Gao Yang, opened a bottle of Coke, raised his head and took a deep breath, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Ha... cool!"

He picked up another piece of fish with his bone claws and was about to throw it into his mouth when he suddenly stopped and found that Gao Yang and Chu Xue's expressions were not right.

"Hey, what's going on with you guys? You're eating fish!"

Gao Yang had a straight face, like a serious elder.

Chuxue turned around, suppressing her blush, like a angry child.

"Wang Zikai, you eat first." Gao Yang sighed, "I'll talk to Chu Xue about something and I'll be back later."

"Ah?" Wang Zikai was stunned.

Gao Yang stopped answering and grabbed Chu Xue's hand, pulling her upstairs.

"No, this grilled fish won't taste good when it's cold!" Wang Zikai felt very distressed: "Hey! This is a big fish that I finally caught!"

Gao Yang took the unhappy Chu Xue back to the room on the second floor and locked the door.

The two sat cross-legged on the bed, facing each other in silence for a while.

Gao Yang took a deep breath, softened his voice, and said sincerely: "Chu Xue, it was my fault just now. I shouldn't have been harsh on you. I apologize to you."

Chuxue raised her head to look at Gao Yang, then lowered her head again, still holding her mouth shut.

"Good friends don't quarrel. Even if they quarrel, they should make up immediately." Gao Yang said.

Chuxue seemed to be convinced, she nodded: "Yes."

Gao Yang continued to guide gently: "There can't be secrets between good friends. I have something to tell you, and you have to tell me something."

Chuxue nodded again.

"Then tell me, why are you quarreling with your sister?" Gao Yang asked.

"Sister is cruel to me." Chuxue felt aggrieved.

"Why is she being mean to you? Did you make her unhappy?" Gao Yang asked.

"I didn't!" Chuxue shouted excitedly. For a moment, she was discouraged. She scratched her hair irritably: "She asked me to eat people, but I don't want to eat them."

Something tugged at Gao Yang's heart, and he asked: "Because it tastes bad?"

Chuxue nodded.

"But..." Gao Yang tried to think from Chu Xue's perspective: "You can't be hungry all the time."

Chuxue lowered her head again, her expression a little downcast: "Sister said that if I never eat, I will never be the same person again, and..."

"And what?" Gao Yang asked.

"Besides, he will die soon."

Gao Yang was startled: "Is it true?"

Chuxue nodded: "I've been getting weaker and weaker recently, and it takes longer and longer to transform into a cat."

Indeed, Chuxue's condition today was obviously weaker than last time.

Chuxue raised her head and looked at Gao Yang: "Sister said that as long as I eat you, I won't have to worry about you for five years. I refused. I told my sister that even if she catches you, I won't eat you."

Gao Yang was shocked and said nothing.

It turns out that this is the reason why the two sisters quarreled.

The only food Chuxue can currently eat is Gaoyang, but Chuxue is unwilling to eat Gaoyang.

The conflict between Chuxue and her sister was irreconcilable, and eventually a quarrel broke out.

Chuxue ran away in anger and came to find Gao Yang, but she didn't expect that Gao Yang was going to New Jersey, so Chuxue secretly followed the plane and hid in the lower floor where the suitcases were placed.

Chuxue's sister must be very anxious now, maybe looking for her everywhere, but the distance is too far and she won't be able to find her for a while.

"Gao Yang, don't be afraid." Seeing Gao Yang's silence, Chuxue comforted him in turn: "I won't eat you. Good friends don't eat good friends!" Gao Yang didn't know what to say, so he cheered up and smiled, stretching out his hand to rub He rubbed the silver hair on Chu Xuenao's head.

In fact, if Chuxue was a vampire and needed Gao Yang's blood to survive, Gao Yang wouldn't mind using it as food and feeding Chuxue regularly and quantitatively.

Gao Yang suddenly thought of something: "Chu Xue, didn't you bite Fat Jun? He didn't die either?"

Chuxue's big red eyes rolled around, wondering what Gao Yang was thinking.

"I mean, even if you eat my energy, I won't die, as long as you control it carefully."

"No, no, no, no!" Chuxue was very excited and pushed Gao Yang away.

"Why?" Gao Yang didn't understand.

"I, I bit Fat Jun, but I didn't eat him." Chu Xue said in a hurry.

"I don't quite understand." In Gao Yang's understanding: biting is also a part of eating and is the first step in eating.

"Well."

Chuxue frowned and tried to organize words to explain the matter: "Actually, I am not picky about food, but I can't eat food that tastes bad. Even if I try hard to eat, I can't eat it..."

"My sister thought I was just a picky eater at first and forced me to eat. I bit Pangjun but couldn't eat it. The same goes for other foods."

Gao Yang seemed to understand.

In the eyes of other ghosts, food can be divided into good and bad, but it is food after all, and anyone who is awakened can eat it.

But Chuxue was different. She couldn't eat food she didn't like. This was not a subjective wish, but an objective fact.

So whether she bit Pang Jun or Jiang Hao from the Baichuan Group, she couldn't eat them, and would only leave a not-so-harmful curse in their bodies.

For Chuxue, the only food that she wants to eat and can eat is Gao Yang.

So objectively speaking, Chuxue could eat Gao Yang, but this time, Chuxue didn't want to eat it subjectively.

Chuxue continued: "We ghosts cannot stop eating people until they die. This is beyond our control."

Gao Yang came back to his senses: "Why?"

"I don't know, anyway, all ghosts are like this."

A bold idea flashed through Gao Yang's mind: Maybe Chuxue is different from other ghosts. Maybe she can stop eating me midway?

Gao Yang himself was shocked when this idea came up.

But he didn't say it.

Chuxue, I'm sorry, I'm not that great, I don't want to risk my life.

Besides, I still have family and friends, I still want revenge, and I still want to understand the truth about the misty world. There are too many reasons why I cannot die.

Chuxue seemed to see through what Gao Yang was thinking. She moved her body slowly and rubbed her head against Gao Yang's arm.

"Gao Yang, a good friend will never, never eat a good friend."

Gao Yang didn't know what to say, and a deep feeling of powerlessness emerged in his chest.

For some reason, she thought of Li Weiwei and Wan Sisi again.

It would be great if she hadn't awakened, so that Li Weiwei and Wan Sisi wouldn't have to die, and she wouldn't be able to become Chu Xue's food, and she wouldn't be able to become friends with her, nor would she have feelings for her.

In this way, Chuxue's life and death had nothing to do with him, and he didn't have to feel so guilty and painful.

Officer Huang once said: Even if the world is false, love is real.

But Officer Huang forgot to say: precisely because it is real, it becomes even more cruel when it is lost.

"Come on, let's go downstairs to play games with Wang Zikai."

Gao Yangqiang cheered up. The only thing he could do now was to leave more happy memories for Chuxue.

"Ok!"

Chuxue nodded vigorously, her eyes curved into a crystal crescent moon.
