The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 490 A Speculation

"We can arrive at the island country tomorrow night, but the organization's support must take the next plane or ship, or at least the day after tomorrow, to join us," Gao Yang said.

"The day after tomorrow?!" Officer Huang finally calmed down, but now he is getting anxious again.

"Don't worry, we have to spend time looking for Su Xi when we get to the island country. We can't encounter the enemy right away." Gao Yang comforted.

"My wife," Officer Huang hesitated and asked, "was she taken away by that 'meteor'?"

"It should be." Gao Yang tried to remember: "First of all, what is certain is that the other party is not from Cang Mu's religion, because the other party killed Edmund and took away Su Xi..."

"Emond is invincible." Qing Ling said.

"Oh, it's only for our invincibility, but it will be ineffective when encountering more powerful enemies. This is called self-inflicted trouble." Officer Huang was a little gloating.

Qing Ling has been wondering who this enemy is, and she expressed her guess: "Is that meteor made by a living beast?"

The others nodded in agreement.

"Did you all see that phoenix in the sky at that time?" Officer Huang said, "It's very similar to the beasts we encountered in the West. It must be a beast."

"But why did the beast capture my wife?" Officer Huang was puzzled: "My wife has no enmity with the beast, and my wife is also a beast. Why did the beast hurt the beast?"

"This beast, like the tail team, may have gone for the same purpose." Gao Yang said.

"What's the purpose?" Officer Huang looked directly at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang hesitated: "Officer Huang, what I say next is just speculation, not necessarily..."

"To put it bluntly, I can bear it!" Officer Huang became impatient again.

"Okay." Gao Yang sighed slightly and looked at everyone: "I have thought about this for a long time, and I will give my conclusion first. I think that there is a very small probability that humans and animals can have children, and there have been successful precedents, not only One example.”

Officer Huang, Qing Ling, and Tengu held their breath unconsciously, waiting for the next step.

"That's a ghost." Gao Yang concluded.

The air froze for three seconds.

"Ah!" Officer Huang shouted, and he suddenly realized: "Yes! That's right! Manshe said that he saved two ghosts 20 years ago..."

"Yes, I also inferred from this point." Gao Yang nodded.

"But don't beasts have real reproductive systems?" Tengu asked.

"There are always exceptions to everything, although I don't know how they do it." Gao Yang said: "Anyway, let's assume there is this exception."

Tengu stopped questioning.

Gao Yang continued, "Let's assume that the Cang Mother Sect has known for a long time that there is a very small probability that humans and animals can have children."

"After humans and beasts are combined, the child born is between humans and beasts, with a complete personality. They will not become bloodthirsty and crazy when seeing humans like beasts. But in essence, it still needs the energy of the awakened person to continue. Life, and it is born with an extremely unstable curse. This curse makes it powerful and can take away its life at any time. This kind of creature is a ghost."

Officer Huang clenched his fists and turned pale. This was both good news and bad news for him.

The good news is that your child can really be born into this world smoothly without being stillborn or other terrible things happening.

The bad news is that your children will feed on the awakened ones from now on.Officer Huang will definitely be the first to give his life, but what will happen to the child after he dies?
Officer Huang didn't dare to think about it carefully.

Gao Yang gave everyone some time to think, and then continued: "The Cangmu Sect has always known this secret, so it started to capture ghosts very early."

"Twenty years ago, Manshe let go of a pair of twins with silver hair and red eyes in the basement of a human trafficker in Umbrella Corner. Those two ghosts should have been captured by the Cangmu Cult." "For the Cangmu Cult, If you want to catch a ghost and use it for yourself, the sooner the better.”

"After so many years of arresting ghosts, the Cangmu Cult has summarized its experience and improved its plan. It believes that the best time to catch a ghost is when it is in its mother's womb."

"So the tail team is targeting my wife because she is about to give birth!" Officer Huang gritted his teeth, tearing at his chest with anger, causing him great pain.

Gao Yang nodded, "The tail team may have only recently known about your wife's existence, or they may have known about it for a long time, and they have been patiently waiting until now to take action because of the child in her belly, which is a ghost."

"Beast!" Officer Huang grabbed his hair with both hands, his anger nowhere to be vented.

"Then why does Shengshou want to capture Su Xi?" Qing Ling didn't understand: "What does Shengshou need from ghosts?"

"I don't know, we know almost nothing about living beasts." Gao Yang raised his head, his tone a little frustrated: "I'll summarize the information about living beasts, and let's see if you can figure out any clues."

"First of all, the beast is very strong and has at least two forms, human form and giant bird form."

"Then, the blood from the beast, or something else, can be used to make 'holy water' to make the awakened go berserk and turn into a mindless but super powerful monster."

"Furthermore, living beasts are very rare and have no obvious hostility towards humans, because living beasts have not yet actively harmed humans and awakened people."

Gao Yang recalled the "evil ritual" at the intersection that night, and continued to add: "In addition, the lost beast has an almost instinctive worship of the living beast, and calls the living beast as its mother."

"I remember you said what happened to Niu Xuan..." Officer Huang remembered: "It was also calling its mother before it died."

"Yes." Gao Yang said.

"You have guessed before that the lost ones may all be born from the 'Beast King'." Qing Ling looked at Gao Yang: "Could this 'Beast King' be a living beast?"

"I think this is it!" Officer Huang looked painful: "But, I still can't figure out why the beast wants to capture my wife?"

"I'm afraid we can only ask about the birth of the beast." After Gao Yang finished speaking, he turned to comfort Officer Huang: "Don't worry, Teacher Su's due date is still more than ten days away. At least before that, she should not be harmed."

Officer Huang didn't say anything. He agreed with this theory rationally.

After a moment of silence, Gao Yang thought of something, "Tengu, I remember that your mother is from the island country. Are you familiar with the island country?"

Tengu was stunned and said nothing.

"Although the island country is not big, it is unrealistic for just a few of us to find Su Xi without any clues. If the beast deliberately hides, we will be even less likely to find it."

"No, that's not the case. We have to work backwards." Officer Huang forced himself to calm down and activated his criminal investigation thinking: "First of all, why did this beast take my wife to the island country? Why not other places, such as the Snow Country and the West Country? If you simply want to hide, wouldn’t the bigger the place, the better?”

When the three of them heard it, they thought it made sense.

Officer Huang rubbed his temples and added: "One more thing, why would Edmund know about the beast that killed him and want to take my wife to the island country? The beast would never tell Edmund. It should be Edmund. De knew about this early on."

"Yes, this is very important." Gao Yang immediately understood what Officer Huang meant: "This shows that there is a reason why this beast must go to the island country."

"It may be something specific, or a specific person." Officer Huang said.

"Could it be an altar?" Qing Ling interjected coldly.

Gao Yang was startled for a moment, then immediately realized: "Qing Ling, you mean... the altar in the back hill of Xiguo No. 7 Winery?"

"Ah!" Police Officer Huang yelled, and he also figured it out: "The altar in the Western Kingdom is the tomb of the living beasts, and the dead beasts are hiding their corpses there!"

"Could it be..." Gao Yang felt a chill running down his spine and boldly hypothesized: "Shengshou wants to resurrect his companions?"
