The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 40 The Visitor

The terrifying and gloomy scene that Gao Yang expected did not appear. In fact, the room was pitch black, and the oncoming air was mixed with a musty and stale smell that had not been visited for a long time.

Officer Huang closed the door, found a pull cord in the darkness, and pulled it.

"Zizzizi—ta." A light bulb with a very low temperature finally came to life after struggling for a long time. The room was dark, but enough for people to see clearly.

It was a square hall with a layer of white paint on the inner wall that was peeling off badly. The floor was a green cement floor, and a ceiling fan covered with dust and cobwebs hung from the roof.

There is an old-fashioned red wall clock hanging on the wall opposite the door. It is out of place in the "Western style" and is still swinging "tick-tick-tick".

Under the wall is an old-fashioned cabinet. There is a black and white TV set above the cabinet. A half-meter-long antenna is connected to the back of the TV. In front of the cabinet, there are several dark black low chairs. There is no sofa. , usually the family should just sit on chairs and watch TV.A calendar hangs on the wall on the left. The illustrations on the calendar are landscape paintings of places of interest.There is an old-fashioned sewing machine under the calendar, and there are several green jars in the corner that look like pickles.

There were only these things in the hall and nothing else. It was indeed an era of poor material resources.

Officer Huang walked to the sewing machine, dipped his finger in it, and found a thick layer of dust.He frowned, "Weird."

"It's very strange." Gao Yang had almost finished looking at the house: "It feels like no one has lived in it for a long time."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? It's been 30 years!" Wang Zikai said.

Gao Yang smiled bitterly and explained patiently, "In our world, this murder happened 30 years ago. But in this world, the murder happened less than half a month ago. Isn't the village still organizing funerals for Huazi's family? ?”

"Ah, yes!" Wang Zikai suddenly realized.

This IQ is incredible.

"Not only that, there are still a lot of blood stains on the ground in the front yard, but there are no traces of fighting in the living room." Officer Huang smacked his lips, "Let's go and take a look in other rooms."

Officer Huang took the lead in walking into the side bedroom on the left. There was a word "happy" on the door, which should be the wedding room.Sure enough, when I turned on the lights in the room, everything was red at first glance: red quilts, red pillows, red window curtains, red lanterns, red artificial flowers, red wardrobes, red dressing tables...

Like the living room, everything in the room was covered in dust, giving it a feel that was both bright and old, festive and quirky.

"A girl got married. On their wedding night," Officer Huang walked out of the wedding room and returned to the living room to think about it. "Something happened. Then the next day, the whole family was dismembered, and the corpses appeared in every corner of Gujia Village. , the bride’s head has not been found yet.”

"Stop talking!" Pang Jun felt uncomfortable, "We are not here to solve the case, we should think about how to get out of here."

"I know, that's why I want to solve the case." Officer Huang said.

Gao Yang nodded, "I also think that if you want to leave here, you must find the murderer of the family murder case."

"Do you have a clue?" Officer Huang asked.

Gao Yang tried to analyze: "There were no signs of fighting in the house, so this family should have been dismembered when they had no ability to resist or lost the will to resist. As for the scene of dismemberment..."

"In the front yard." Qing Ling said.

"Yes." Gao Yang thought for a while, "That's all for now."

Officer Huang pulled up a chair and sat down: "My team leader was not an awakened person back then, so when he investigated this case, he definitely did not consider the following two issues." "First, are Huazi's family humans or animals? It is said that there are humans and beasts; secondly, the person who killed Hua Zi’s family is a human or a beast.”

"Speaking of beasts..." Gao Yang hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Officer Huang, how many beasts do you know?"

Officer Huang looked at Gao Yang, hesitated for a moment, and decided to answer truthfully: "The matter is now over, I don't care about the rules. Wu Dahai told me that there are 4 types of beasts that their organization has encountered so far: crazy beasts, angry beasts, Greedy beast, delusional beast.”

"A greedy beast? A delusional beast?" Qing Ling became interested.

"The Greedy Beast is also called the Assimilate, and the Wandering Beast is also called the Observer." Officer Huang said: "I don't know the specific type of the Greedy Beast. But Wu Dahai said that the most terrifying thing about the Greedy Beast is that they can pass through some kind of way to become human.”

Everyone gasped, except Wang Zikai, who looked indifferent.

"What do you mean?" Qing Ling didn't understand.

"That's the literal meaning." Officer Huang said solemnly: "Either pretending to be human, or becoming human, that's why they are called assimilated."

Gao Yang thought of something else, "But human beings are also divided into unawakened people and awakened people."

"Awakened ones." Officer Huang was determined: "Greedy beasts can become awakened ones, but unawakened ones will not be attacked by any beasts. This is the iron law of the world."

"The greedy beast that became the awakened one, is it a human or a beast?" Gao Yang was confused.

Officer Huang shook his head: "If we can get out of here alive, maybe we can ask someone from the Chinese Zodiac to find out."

"What about the delusional beast?" Qing Ling said.

Huang Jing shook his head, "As for the delusional beast, I only know that there is such a beast and nothing else."

Gao Yang's brain was racing: If Baili Yi didn't lie to him, then in addition to the four beasts of ignorance, anger, greed and delusion, there should be 'living beasts' and 'dead beasts'.However, Gao Yang did not intend to say that he knew nothing about these two beasts at present, and speaking out would only cause panic and shake the morale of the army.

Although it was far-fetched, Gao Yang still tried to explain the situation at hand with a set of logic he could understand: "Hypothesis, just a hypothesis, the thing that caused the massacre is a brand-new beast that we don't understand yet. So, what we know now Is it possible that the Gujia Village where we are located is the domain created by it?"

"You mean," Qing Ling's eyes wandered, "if you find it and kill it, you can leave here?"

"Gao Yang's speculation is a more reasonable explanation at present." Officer Huang nodded slightly, "It is also the most worth trying method at present, and we must try it as soon as possible. We have been without water and food for more than 20 hours. Under normal circumstances, we cannot survive for 3 days. , the effective action time shall not exceed 2 days.”

Gao Yang glanced at Wang Zikai and said, "Except you. Your body has undergone special modifications and you should live longer than us."

"Of course!" Wang Zikai was very proud, and then became excited again: "Brother is the one who wants to save the world, how could he be trapped in such a birdy place! You are responsible for digging out that thing, and leave the rest to me !”

"Boom boom boom——"

Gao Yang turned around suddenly. He was closest to the door - someone knocked on the door.
