The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 5 Identity Exposed
9 a.m., Teaching Office.

"sit."

Officer Huang was sitting on the dean's swivel chair, leaning back slightly with his legs crossed and his hands clasped on his abdomen. He looked relaxed and calm, as if he was sitting in his own interrogation room.

Gao Yang sat down in front of him and remained silent.

Officer Huang smiled, "Don't be nervous, there's no one else here, I'll just ask a few questions."

"Hmm..." Gao Yang cursed: I'm only nervous when there's no one else, okay? !

"Is your face hurt?"

"Oh, I was bitten by an insect." Gao Yang pretended to touch it casually.

"Okay, let's get started." Officer Huang took out the notebook, "Classmate Gao Yang, what is the relationship between the deceased Li Weiwei and you?"

"We have known each other since kindergarten and have always had a good relationship. We are childhood sweethearts." Gao Yang replied.

Officer Huang asked while taking notes: "Were you with Li Weiwei yesterday afternoon?"

"Well, we watched movies, ate, and played in Dawan Mall until quite late, and we didn't go home until late at night."

"What time did you and Li Weiwei separate?"

"It seems to be almost 11 o'clock." Gao Yang knew that he couldn't remember the time too clearly, otherwise it would be more suspicious.

"It's so late, why don't you take her home?"

"I sent her off for a part of the way, but she said no need to send her off for the last part of the way, so I didn't send it off."

Gao Yang knew that the surveillance of the last section of the road was destroyed by Qing Ling, so he deliberately asked: "Officer Huang, can you watch the surveillance? The surveillance can prove it."

Officer Huang pondered for a moment and his eyes moved slightly: "To be honest, the surveillance on the road where you separated happened to be broken."

"How is that possible?" Gao Yang made a surprised expression.

"The possibility of committing a premeditated crime is very high." Officer Huang looked at Gao Yang's face quietly, trying to find flaws in his expression.

"It may be an acquaintance who committed the crime, but it's just a preliminary guess. I don't have a clue at the moment. After all, there are no murder weapons or witnesses."

"Don't you have any clues?" Gao Yang asked.

Officer Huang put down his legs and leaned forward: "Does Li Weiwei have any classmates with whom she has bad relations, or has she offended anyone?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said: "She is a very nice person. All the classmates in the class like her. I can't think of any enemies for her."

"What about the people who are jealous of her? Or whatever?"

Gao Yang thought for a moment and shook his head: "I have no impression."

Officer Huang nodded, his eyes never leaving Gao Yang's face, "You like Li Weiwei, right?"

Gao Yang paused, "I guess you like..."

"Due to the need to investigate the case, I looked at Li Weiwei's WeChat records. You confessed your love to her and she agreed..."

"Yes, yesterday was our first date. I didn't expect it to be our last..." Gao Yang lowered his head, feeling down and sad. He was not pretending.

Officer Huang stopped asking questions and stood up, "Okay, let's get here first today." He stepped forward and patted Gao Yang on the shoulder, with a somewhat meaningful tone: "My condolences."

……

After the questioning was over, Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief and had a false alarm.

He left the office and walked to the classroom.

"Gao Yang!" someone called him.

Before Gao Yang could turn around, a strong arm suddenly shot out and strangled his neck.

Gao Yang could hardly breathe: "Cough cough... cough cough..."

"Hahahaha weak chicken!"

A boy with dyed blonde hair and lip nails opened his arms. It was Wang Zikai.

Wang Zikai was Gao Yang's high school classmate, but he was no longer a week ago. After he opened the brains of the boy in the next class for the nth time, he was finally forced to drop out of school.

The reason for the fight was: the other party glanced at him.

Wang Zikai's family is rich and he drives a sports car to school every day. In addition, he is good-looking, tall, rich and handsome.But such a good hand was beaten to pieces by him. In school, he was a bully that everyone feared.

I don’t know why, but this bully has been particularly enthusiastic about Gao Yang since the first year of high school. Wang Zikai has emphasized more than once: Gao Yang is his best and only friend.

This made Gao Yang feel flattered and at the same time incredible.Gao Yang succumbed to his lustful power and cautiously became Wang Zikai's friend. It turned out that Wang Zikai was actually quite a nice person, except for his love of fighting and his occasional head convulsions.

Wang Zikai is in a good mood today, and he should be here to go through the withdrawal procedures.

"What's wrong with you? You look like you're eating shit." Wang Zikai asked.

"Li Weiwei is dead." Gao Yang said.

"Ah?!" Wang Zikai was surprised, "How did you die?"

"Robbed, killed..."

"I'll go! It's too unlucky." Wang Zikai smacked his lips, "Thankfully, I helped you confess to her a few days ago. Hey, did she agree to you? She must have refused. Hahaha, how could a person like you possibly do that? A girl likes it!"

Gao Yang rolled his eyes: This idiot will never understand the point.

"Brother, please forgive me." Wang Zikai patted Gao Yang's shoulder nonchalantly: "Think on the bright side, you no longer have to worry about her being robbed."

"..." Gao Yang resisted the urge to curse.

"Brother will drive to pick you up after school today. Let's play queue together! Turn grief and anger into motivation. We must reach Silver this season!" Wang Zikai said.

"No, I'm going to attend Li Weiwei's farewell party tonight," Gao Yang said.

"No," Wang Zikai jumped away in an exaggerated manner, "Maybe you still want to take advantage of the heat..."

"roll!"

Gao Yang was speechless and wished he could kick him.But this is Wang Zikai, you will never hear a word from his mouth that a normal human being should say.

"See you later!" Wang Zikai patted his butt, waved and ran away.

...at 7 p.m.Shanqing District.funeral parlor.

Gao Yang and more than a dozen classmates attended the farewell party for Li Weiwei's body with the class teacher.

On the one hand, Gao Yang had feelings for Li Weiwei. Although she turned into a monster last night, he still wanted to see her off; on the other hand, he was also curious about why Li Weiwei was not cremated immediately after her death. , which is inconsistent with his understanding of the world.

The mourning hall was dark and solemn, and Li Weiwei's photo was placed on the altar. The girl in the photo had a bright smile.The body was placed in a transparent glass coffin with a freezing function, surrounded by lush white flowers.

Li Weiwei's parents, wearing black suits and black dresses, stood beside the coffin and kept bowing to those who came to express their condolences.

The wife couldn't stop crying, and the husband supported her with a look of sadness on his face.

The head teacher took several students to offer incense to Li Weiwei, then went to shake hands with her parents, and then walked around the glass coffin. The farewell ceremony was over.

Gao Yang followed the team, and when he approached the ice coffin, he took a closer look at Li Weiwei's body. She was wearing a black shroud and had makeup on her face. She looked like she was just asleep, no different from when she was alive.

But when he thought of this girl, he almost crushed his head to death yesterday, and a deep sense of fear arose from the soles of his feet, making him stand on his back.

The head teacher came forward to talk to Li Weiwei's parents. Gao Yang felt his mouth was dry. He avoided the crowd and went to the tea room on the side of the mourning hall to drink water.

Opening the door, Qing Ling was there.

Gao Yang didn't dare to look at Qing Ling and went to pour water alone, but Qing Ling stepped forward: "Did the police ask you anything?"

"It's nothing."

"Tell me everything." Qing Ling ordered.

Gao Yang looked around and confirmed that there was no one in the tea room. He showed his cards and said, "Why don't you continue acting?"

Qing Ling was slightly startled, "What are you playing?"

"Didn't you do a good job in those during the day?" Gao Yang was a little angry.

Qing Ling's eyes flickered, "Have you seen her?"

"What do you mean?"

"My alter ego?"

Gao Yang was startled and then understood: "You mean, you have... a dual personality?"

"Yes."

Gao Yang didn't speak.

Qing Ling gently closed the door of the tea room, "If you want to survive in this world, you can't live without deceiving yourself. Over time, I have developed a sub-personality. She is my sister, her name is Qing Ling. Most of the time It's all me, sometimes she will be disobedient and run out on her own. Qing Ling was greatly stimulated by Li Weiwei's death."

Gao Yang's eyes were wary: "Now I don't know which of your words are true and which are false?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Give me a reason to trust you."

"Reason?" Qing Ling raised her eyebrows, and moved her right finger holding the disposable teacup lightly, and a blade as thin as a cicada suddenly flew out from Qing Ling's breast pocket and pressed against Gao Yang's neck.

"It's easier for me to kill you than it is for Li Weiwei to kill you. Is this reason enough?"

"enough……"

Where there is life, there is hope.

Gao Yang briefly recounted the conversation with Officer Huang.

After listening, Qing Ling fell into deep thought.

"You're pretty smart and you didn't reveal any flaws."

"Just a policeman." Gao Yang said deliberately, "What kind of flaws can he reveal?"

Qing Ling smiled coldly: "It seems that you are not quite aware of your situation. Do you know how many beasts there are in this city?"

"How many?"

"The ratio is one in ten thousand."

"There is one beast in 10000 people, which is really high." Gao Yang said.

"No, there is only 10000 human in 1 beasts."

"What?!" Gao Yang almost shouted, "Are you... kidding?"

"No."

"This is impossible!" Gao Yang couldn't believe it, and his scalp felt numb. This was so ridiculous.

"This is the fact. Do you understand your situation now?"

"..." Gao Yang's hands were shaking.

"It is a small probability that we can have two human beings, me and you, in our school." Qing Ling took a step forward with cold eyes, "As for your family, your friends, your neighbors, 99.99% of the people you have come into contact with in this life All human beings are, of course, beasts, all kinds of beasts.”

Gao Yang was stuck in place, fear wrapping around him like a cold poisonous snake.

Grandma, father, mother, sister, teachers, classmates, friends... everyone may be a beast.As for Gao Yang, he has been living with them day and night for 12 years since he traveled through time!
Gao Yang's stomach churned and he just wanted to vomit.

"To tell you the truth, you are the third human I have met so far. The first two humans were stronger than me, but they both died."

Gao Yang still had a sense of luck: "It's impossible. If I were surrounded by beasts... I would have died long ago."

"Because you have never noticed their existence before. Beasts will not harm unawakened humans. They only kill awakened people, that is, people like us."

"why?"

"I don't know either." Qing Ling shook her head, "They seem to have their own set of rules, and the information I have is very limited..."

"What are you talking about?"

Gao Yang and Qing Ling were shocked.

The door of the tea room was pushed open, and Officer Huang stood outside the door with a smile on his face.

"What is the beast you are talking about?"
