The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 298 Seeing the Stars

When Chuxue woke up, she was sleeping on the soft big bed in the room on the second floor. Her clothes and hair were almost dry.

There was no light in the room, but moonlight came in through the window. There was a figure sitting under the moonlight, it was Gao Yang.

"Are you awake?" Gao Yang asked softly.

Chuxue opened her mouth, her voice a little hoarse: "Gao Yang...I'm sorry..."

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Why are you saying sorry?"

Chuxue's eyes turned red again, and her weak voice was filled with self-blame: "I almost ate you... I'm not qualified to be your good friend..."

She turned over and curled up, not knowing how to face Gao Yang.

Under the moonlight, her white shoulders were shaking slightly, and she was crying silently.

Gao Yang looked at Chu Xue's self-reproaching figure for a long time before asking, "Chu Xue, it must be very painful when you are hungry."

Chuxue didn't reply.

Gao Yang continued to ask: "Is it like this every time?"

Chuxue still didn't reply.

"We are good friends, and there are no secrets between good friends." Gao Yang used his "killer".

After a while, Chuxue's weak voice slowly came: "I didn't feel this bad before, but recently, it's getting more and more serious. My sister said, I'm almost reaching my limit..."

"Limit?" Gao Yang's heart sank.

"The life of a ghost is very short. If it doesn't eat people, it will die."

"Chu Xue, how old are you this year?" Gao Yang came closer.

"27 is old."

Gao Yang was shocked: How is that possible? You look at most 17 years old!
Chuxue guessed what Gao Yang was thinking: "My sister and I are twins, but I often turn into a cat. I can sleep for a long time. My body will not grow while I sleep, and I will not be hungry."

Gao Yang suddenly realized.

Under normal circumstances, Chuxue would grow up with her sister.

But Chuxue's body is very special, she can turn into a white cat, and white cats can "hibernate".The advantage is that you won't feel hungry, but the disadvantage is that your body and mind stop developing.

Therefore, Chuxue's numerical age is 27 years old, but her actual age is still a girl.

"Gao Yang..." Chuxue still turned her back to Gao Yang, her weak shoulders were still trembling slightly, her voice was choked with sobs, and she said with childish grievance: "It would be great if I wasn't a ghost..."

Gao Yang's heart dropped heavily.

Once upon a time, Gao Yang also thought this way.

It would be great if Li Weiwei was not a beast, it would be great if Wang Zikai was not a beast, it would be great if Wan Sisi had not died, it would be great if all his family members were human beings...

No if.

The reality is that Chuxue is faced with the choice of "either eat people or starve to death".

Gao Yang is a human being, and he believes that cannibalism is sinful and terrible.

But Chuxue is a ghost, and humans are the food of ghosts. Eating food is a natural thing, what's wrong with that?
Gao Yang felt confused for a moment and his emotions were torn apart.

He couldn't find a balance between safeguarding his own race and sympathizing with Chuxue.

Never before had he been so confused as now.

Gao Yang wanted to do something, but everything seemed hypocritical.

Then at least let Chuxue be happy.

Gao Yang lay down next to Chuxue, resting his head on his hands: "Chuxue, do you want to see the stars? Let's see the stars."

Chuxue slowly stopped crying and said nothing.

"I don't want to go out, I don't want to go anywhere..." Chu Xue's voice was weak.

"No, I know magic and can do it for you." Gao Yang pretended to be mysterious.

Chuxue indeed retained the nature of a small animal, and her curiosity was immediately aroused.She temporarily forgot about her sadness, turned around slowly, and stared at Gao Yang seriously with a pair of big eyes red from crying: "Okay, please change."

"First of all, you have to lie down like me and close your eyes." Gao Yang said.

"Yes." Chuxue wiped the tears on her face with her hands, lay down obediently, and closed her eyes.

Gao Yang picked up the remote control on the bedside table and pressed it.

"Okay, open your eyes quickly."

Chuxue immediately opened her eyes.

"Kakaka-"

The wooden ceiling of the room is slowly opening to both sides, turning into a patio, with the deep night sky and bright stars outside.

The bright moonlight fell down and bathed the faces of the two people.

"Wow -" Chuxue's face became cleaner and cleaner, and her beautiful red eyes regained a trace of their former look.

"So beautiful!" Chuxue was very happy.

"First snow."

Gao Yang looked at the night sky and suddenly remembered what his grandma told him when he was a child: "When we die, we will return to the stars, so don't be afraid. One day, we will meet again on the stars."

Chuxue thought about it seriously, then she stretched out her hand and pointed to the brightest star in the sky: "Gao Yang, that star, I like that one."

"Okay." Gao Yang smiled, "That star is called Chuxue Star."

"Yes." Chuxue smiled seriously. She came closer and rubbed her head on Gao Yang's arm: "Gao Yang, I will wait for you at Chuxue Star. You must come to play with me in the future."

The smile on Gao Yang's face froze.

I don't know why, but Gao Yang wanted to cry very much at that moment.

He didn't dare to look at Chuxue next to him, but still stared at the brightest Chuxue star, with sore eyes.

About ten seconds passed.

"First snow."

Gao Yang suddenly spoke solemnly.

"Ok?"

Chuxue blinked and looked over confusedly.

——Eat me, now.

——Maybe I will regret it in a minute, but at least for this moment, I hope that you around me can live well.

——I am already happy enough in this life. Compared with you, I have too much.

——I don’t want you to return to the stars before me, and I don’t want you to wait for me alone on that distant star.

"Buzzing—"

When the cell phone rang, Gao Yang was startled, and his sense suddenly returned.

He turned over and sat up and looked at his phone. It was a text message from Suzaku, asking him to gather.

Gao Yang reached out and touched Chuxue's head: "Chuxue, I'll go out for a while, and you can have a good rest."

"Ah."

Chuxue nodded obediently and smiled at Gao Yang.

……

At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, Cowherdive, Meteor Island, private water villa.

When Gao Yang arrived, everyone else was there.

Everyone was carrying weapons and supply bags.

Green Tea is the most exaggerated, wearing a camouflage uniform, carrying a submachine gun on his back, with magazines hanging on his chest, and two grenades on his waist.

Gao Yang didn't even know how he brought all this equipment.

However, Gao Yang believes that Green Tea is right. Although the possibility is very small, he does not rule out facing the danger of "collective silence" like in 11 again. At that time, thermal weapons will be more useful.

In the living room of the villa, Bai Tu, Qing Ling, and Wu Dahai sat at a dining table, chatting quietly.

Ronnie and Can were sitting on the sofa, both of them a little nervous and looking around.

Chen Ying, Green Tea and Clown were sitting on another sofa, and the three of them were communicating in low voices.

Hu Jiang stood in front of the bedroom door, hands clasped and put down, unsmiling, guarding something.

"Where is Elder Zhuque?" Gao Yang asked.

"Inside." Hu Jiang replied briefly, "Interrogate the corpse."

"Whose body?" Gao Yang was a little surprised.

"I don't know, Elder Baihu brought him here..."

"Crack."

The door opened, Jianghu immediately stepped aside, and Suzaku and Baihu walked out of the bedroom one after another.

Suzaku looked a little tired, his world-weary face looked even more world-weary now, and there was a little more worry between his brows.

Bai Hu still looked like a relaxed and natural middle-aged man. He put one hand on his hips and answered the phone with the other: "Okay, okay, don't delay, act quickly, we have to act here too, um, everyone be careful."

Bai Hu hung up the phone and looked at Suzaku: "What should I do with the body?"

"When the mission is over, take it back to the headquarters." Suzaku waved his hand and walked to the bathroom: "I'm going to wash my hands and leave immediately."
