The Lost City of Alien Beasts

56 Mist
"Students, what I'm going to say next are all the key points that need to be tested." White Rabbit waved the barbecue tongs like a pointer, "Different talent types require different rune circuits to upgrade."

White Rabbit patted Qing Ling on the shoulder, "For example, this classmate's talent [Metal], the rune type is 'Element', then it needs the 'Element' rune circuit to upgrade, but unfortunately, our organization currently does not have Elements Rune circuit.”

"Where can I get it?" Qing Ling asked.

"The rune circuit in this city totals 12 yuan. It is unique. However, it is not disposable, but after using it once, you have to wait a few days before using it again."

"Wouldn't that be very popular?" Officer Huang realized the problem.

"It's not just popular," White Rabbit said seriously: "It's really terrible. All the awakened people are fighting for it. This is also one of the biggest conflicts among awakened people at present. Nine out of ten people will die because of this."

"Teacher Baitu," Gao Yang raised his hand, "I have a question."

"Ask." White Rabbit glanced at everyone, "Eat, give them all to me, eat them while they're hot."

Everyone moved their chopsticks one after another, except Wang Zikai, who never liked "listening to lectures". At some point, he fell asleep and started snoring. It seemed that the battle in Gujiacun had taken a heavy toll on his body.

"You said before that this city only has 12-yuan rune circuits. What about other cities?" Gao Yang asked.

"Ah, I almost forgot. I haven't told you the most important thing yet, so you have to be mentally prepared..." White Rabbit made a trick, and everyone's ears stood up.

"There are no other cities." Wu Dahai interrupted humbly.

Everyone was stunned.

"What do you mean?" Gao Yang didn't understand. "What do you mean there are no other cities."

"Haha, idiot." Wu Dahai enjoyed Gao Yang's surprised reaction, "That's what it means literally."

"You all grew up in Licheng, right?" Bai Tu smiled, "Have you ever left this city? Those in the suburbs and countryside don't count. I mean really leaving this city."

Everyone fell silent.

Officer Huang put down his meat-eating chopsticks, "I have been working at the police station since I graduated from the police academy. I had two opportunities to study in other provinces, but due to some reasons I was unable to go."

Gao Yang took a breath and remembered a very famous movie: "'The World of Real Men'?"

For a moment, several people took a breath of cold air.

Only Pang Jun didn't react. He quickly took out his mobile phone to check. After a while, he exclaimed: "Fuck! No! This, this, this... is too ridiculous!"

"It's a pity." White Rabbit tilted his head and smiled helplessly: "Four million beasts and less than 400 humans are the main components of our world."

"But this doesn't make sense," Gao Yang tried hard to remember. "My dad has accompanied his clients abroad and to the beach. There are many photos. And if there is only one city, how can the world run so realistically..."

White Rabbit was not in a hurry to answer Gao Yang and asked instead: "You were in Gujia Village in the underground world before. You should have seen the boundaries of Gujia Village."

"Yes." Officer Huang's memory was still fresh in his mind. "No matter how I walked, I couldn't get out. It was incredible. It was like a magic barrier was cast."

"Li city is also surrounded by such a boundary. The Awakened have been trying to find an exit, but they haven't found it yet." White Rabbit changed the topic: "However, this city has official access."

"Official channel?"

"Yes, airplanes, high-speed trains, and highways can take you to other places, but that place is just a large place with boundaries. Don't think about getting off the bus in the middle. Many awakened people have tried it, and some even I wanted to get off the plane midway." White Rabbit crossed his hands on his chest, "In the end, he failed and it was impossible to do it."

Bai Tu turned to Gao Yang, "Your dad went abroad by plane, right?"

"Yes." Gao Yang tried to understand this: "You mean, we can't leave the city on foot, but we can take a plane to New Orleans, but during the flight, we can't get off the plane, even if Even if I were a flying superman, I couldn’t do it.”

"Yes." White Rabbit nodded, "There is no middle area. Even if it seems to exist, it is just an illusion. Of course, there is another possibility. The middle area exists, but it is not open to anyone and any beast." Wu Dahai interrupted again. Now, he has the right to speak on this matter, "Gao Yang, I have been to the Niuldiv you mentioned several times. I even explored it specifically and quickly found its boundaries. It is much smaller than our city."

The white rabbit ate the food slowly, giving everyone some time to digest.

After a minute, she cleared her throat: "Next, students, please listen carefully and understand carefully. First of all, please forget all the knowledge in the geography textbook."

"Now, close your eyes and imagine our world as a sea. There are many isolated islands floating on this sea. Some of the isolated islands are very large. For example, Licheng where we live has a population of 400 million, of which only more than 400 Personally, the rest are just cuties..."

"Little cutie?" Pang Jun interrupted.

"In jargon, cutie refers to beast." Wu Dahai explained.

White Rabbit raised his chopsticks and continued: "Some isolated islands are very small, such as the Nuldiv you just mentioned."

"All isolated islands can only be reached through 'official channels', but no living thing can enter the sea. The most you can do is walk on the beach and take a look, but in fact what you see is just the fog on the sea. , no one knows what is in the mist. As for how this world came into being, and what its past, present, and future will be like, no one knows."

"Crazy," Officer Huang took a long puff of cigarette, "It's just crazy!"

Gao Yang was shocked. This completely subverted his understanding of what kind of world he had traveled to.

Fat Jun grabbed the hair on his head and collapsed emotionally.

Only Qing Ling didn't care, she only cared about upgrading.

"It's really hard to accept, but this is our current situation." What else was White Rabbit going to say? The waiter brought the spicy rabbit head to White Rabbit, and White Rabbit was elated, "Wu Dahai, I'll leave the next step to you!"

On a white dinner plate were two rabbit heads that were roasted red and sprinkled with chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. In terms of shape, they were simply cruel.

The white rabbit's eyes were shining, and he didn't use chopsticks. He grabbed the rabbit's head with both hands and gnawed it. Spicy juice flowed from the corner of his mouth, making a crunching sound.

Everyone collectively enjoyed the performance of "The White Rabbit Eats the Rabbit's Head" for a while, and then Wu Dahai took over the conversation calmly, "What did you just say?"

"Twelve rune circuits are very precious." Gao Yang said.

"Ah, yes, the awakened ones are all grabbing for it. Our organization has obtained the rune circuit of 'life', so the talents of the cute lamb and the dead pig can break through level 4." Wu Dahai was all proud, lowering his voice: "Today we Once I get another piece, I can look back and study it to know its properties."

Wu Dahai glanced at Qing Ling: "I guess it's not an element. It doesn't feel like it. If you want to upgrade your metal talent to level 4, there should be no chance."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Qing Ling's eyes. She didn't have much interest in listening anymore and lowered her head to eat her share of spicy rabbit head.

"Have you found all the 12-yuan rune circuits?" Gao Yang asked.

"How is that possible! Including this piece, only six pieces have been released so far." Wu Dahai said, "The other four pieces are in the hands of other organizations, and everyone treats them as treasures."

"Where are the remaining rune circuits?" Gao Yang asked.

"I don't know." White Rabbit finished eating most of the rabbit head, and his mouth was red as if he had applied lipstick.

She sucked her thumb and index finger thoughtfully, "If an awakened person hadn't accidentally discovered the first rune circuit 20 years ago, no one would have known that such a thing existed."

"In short, the rune circuits are all hidden. They may be in some special areas, they may be on a certain beast, or they may be left to gather dust in an antique shop. There are no rules to follow. Anyway, since the first rune After the Wenhui Loop was discovered, the awakened people began to explore the city crazily, and that was when conflicts and deaths began to intensify."

White Rabbit finally finished eating the whole rabbit head. She wiped her mouth with satisfaction, "Okay, now that the basic information has been explained, let me review this 'Operation Gujia Village' with you."
