The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 493 Suffering
After Tengu finished telling his story, Gao Yang remained silent.

At this time, it doesn’t seem right to express understanding, comfort and encouragement, or make a joke.

He and the Tengu looked at the deep blue ocean in the distance. A long triangular ripple was left by the stern of the cruise ship, and then slowly recovered, leaving no trace.

After a long silence, Gao Yang asked: "Do you still miss her now?"

"Think about it." Tengu raised his head, supported the splint with both hands, and said in a lazy voice, "I will think about anything and everything. I think that if I see her again, I must ask her..."

The young man squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes were a little sad, but the corner of his mouth was smiling: "Why don't you love me?"

……

Half an hour later, Gao Yang returned to the cabin.

He gently opened the door, and under the soft wall lamp, Qing Ling, wearing a bathrobe, was lying on the big bed.

Gao Yang only took one look to confirm that she had not really fallen asleep.

Her movements were not natural enough, and her breathing was very light, but she was just closing her eyes to rest.

Gao Yang didn't interrupt, closed the door and walked into the bathroom.

Gao Yang turned on the spray and took a shower to wash away his fatigue. He took this time to review what had happened recently.

Twenty minutes later, Gao Yang put on his bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom while wiping his hair with a dry towel.

He glanced at Qing Ling on the bed and was slightly startled. Although she still maintained the same posture as before, Gao Yang could be sure this time that she was asleep.

Judging from her soothing, deep breathing, she slept... quite soundly.

For a time, Gao Yang's mental state was relieved.

For some reason, whenever he saw Qing Ling, an extremely insecure girl, eating with great enjoyment and sleeping peacefully, he would feel healed.

It seems that no matter how hard life gets, there will always be moments that are worth it.

Gao Yang dried his hair, lay down on the sofa, slowly closed his eyes, and said softly.

"Good night."

……

The four people on the cruise ship woke up early and went to the cafeteria to have breakfast together.

There are various places for entertainment and entertainment on the cruise ship, but the four of them were not in the mood at all and went back to the room to continue waiting.

Officer Huang stood on the balcony, smoking one cigarette after another.

In less than half an hour, he would call Chen Ying, hoping that she would give accurate clues immediately so that he could go straight to his destination to save his wife as soon as he got off the boat.

Eventually, Chen Ying got fed up and simply stopped answering Officer Huang's calls.

Officer Huang also knew how annoying he was, but the waiting time was too painful. After a short time, he started calling Chen Ying on Gao Yang's mobile phone, repeatedly urging the progress.

I have to say, the effect was so good that Chen Ying immediately shut down her phone.

During this period, Gao Yang also contacted Suzaku to inquire about Keyou's situation and the results of the interrogation of Emond's body.

On the phone, Suzaku's voice was full of fatigue: "The girl is still in a coma. Her life is not in danger for the time being. I have sent someone to monitor her."

"You can ask Liu Qingqing for help. Her [sweet dream] can be communicated with Keyou in her dream. Maybe you can get some clues." Gao Yang suggested.

"No, but we are in a deep coma. Boss Liu's [sweet dream] can only act on normal sleep and cannot connect to the target's deep consciousness."

"That's it."

Suzaku continued: "Emond's side is unable to interrogate the corpse for the time being."

"Why?" Gao Yang was puzzled.

"The energy that killed him is very strange, and it still remains in his body. If my energy intervenes forcefully, I'm afraid it will cause energy disorder, and it is very likely to fail. There is only one chance to interrogate the corpse, and I can't take the risk. "What should we do?" Officer Huang, who was listening to the call, was very anxious: "We need clues and we don't have time!"

"Theoretically, that energy will not remain in the corpse for long and will dissipate within a day or two." Suzaku said, "We can only wait."

"I understand. If you have any clues, please contact me as soon as possible." Gao Yang hung up the phone.

……

At ten o'clock in the evening, the cruise ship docked at the island country's pier, and Gao Yang and the four of them got ashore among a group of tourists.

Chen Ying did not reply for the time being, and it was impossible for the four of them to search blindly.

After a short discussion, Gao Yang and his party went to Area D of the island country.

Area D is very prosperous, has convenient transportation, and is in the center of the region. Once they have any clues, no matter where they go, they can ensure that they arrive as soon as possible.

Although only two of the four are human beings - Gao Yang and Qing Ling are still wearing red crystal necklaces that contain the aura of the lost ones, Area D is densely populated after all, and they are afraid of arousing unnecessary suspicion, especially of provoking the Horner. People still decided to act separately.

They didn't find a hotel to stay at, so they staggered their time and went to an Internet cafe with a large population flow.

The Internet cafes here have private rooms where you can stay, provide free drinks, comics, and are equipped with public bathrooms. The prices are cheaper than single rooms in hotels. Many young people even stay in Internet cafes for a long time.

Gao Yang relied on his mobile phone to translate, briefly communicated with the waiter at the bar, and booked a private room for the night.

The private room of the Internet cafe is similar to a capsule warehouse. The space is narrow and can just accommodate a single bed. The bed is made of smooth black leather cushions and is easy to clean.

At the end of the bed is a computer desk and computer, and there are some clothes hooks and small inlaid cabinets on the walls on both sides.

There is a ventilation device in the room, so it is not very stuffy.

Gao Yang lay down, but he had no intention of sleeping.

On the cruise ship, you have no choice but to wait. Instead, you can have a good rest. Now that you have arrived at your destination, you can't move, which is very painful.

Gao Yang looked at the time. At two o'clock in the morning, he decided to go out for a walk.

Gao Yang came to the free comics area. It was like a small library, with rows of bookshelves full of comics. Several young people shuttled among them, selecting comics.

Gao Yang walked around for a while and soon saw a familiar figure in the corner.

Officer Huang stood in front of a bookshelf, selecting comics.

Officer Huang noticed someone approaching, turned his head, saw Gao Yang, and smiled bitterly: "I can't sleep, but I can't help but think about it, so I might as well read the comics."

Gao Yang remembered that Officer Huang loved reading comics when he was a boy, and he learned his sense of justice from hot-blooded comics.

Gao Yang asked casually: "Do you understand?"

"You don't need to read the lines, just look at the pictures." Officer Huang took out a very old comic: "I've read this comic before."

Gao Yang took a look at the cover and realized that he had read this comic when he was in junior high school. It told the story of a swordsman.

This swordsman was once a cold-blooded killer, and later he fell in love with a woman, but he didn't know that the woman's fiancé had died under the swordsman's sword, and the woman came to take revenge.

Later, the swordsman knew it was a trap but still went to save the woman without hesitation, but in the end he killed her by mistake.

The plot is both entangled and sadistic. In short, it is not very auspicious to read this kind of story now.

Officer Huang held the comic and seemed to suddenly remember the content of Gao Yang's memory. He quickly stuffed the comic back into the bookcase.

Officer Huang looked at Gao Yang, his eyes bloodshot and slightly glowing red: "Gao Yang, my wife and children will be fine, right?"

Gao Yang nodded: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to save them."

"Buzzing—"

Gao Yang's cell phone vibrated. Gao Yang picked it up and saw that it was a call from Chen Ying.
