The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 57
Bai Tu wiped his hands with a wet paper towel, picked up the barbecue fork, and continued to turn over the barbecue for everyone, "Let me make it clear first, although the Gujia Village you went to is surrounded by borders, it is not an 'isolated island'. It belongs to the underground space outside the city. A small space in it.”

"What's the difference between the two?" Gao Yang asked.

"The biggest difference is that the isolated island can only be reached by 'official channels', such as roads, planes, high-speed rail, etc. But in small spaces, you can reach it even without using the 'official channels'. The Tengu in our organization are the awakeners of space system talents. , he can temporarily cut the space and take us into the underground Gujia Village."

"I understand," Gao Yang thought for a while and then asked, "Why are there two Gujia Villages? One above ground and another hidden underground?"

"That's a good question." White Rabbit gave Gao Yang a thumbs up: "It's a pity that I don't know either."

"..."

"Things have to start from the beginning. Three years ago, our organization obtained the first rune circuit - life. It was the fourth rune discovered by the awakened so far. The place where it was found was also an underground space. The specific situation is unknown. It’s unfolded, and it’s pretty much the same as Gujia Village this time.”

"Last spring," White Rabbit glanced at Wu Dahai, with a rare look of approval, "I just used a beauty trick to recruit Wu Dahai to join the organization..."

"Look, you admit it!" Wu Dahai dropped his chopsticks, "Won't your conscience hurt when you deceived a simple boy like me?"

"Don't interrupt." White Rabbit said nonchalantly, "At that time, Wu Dahai mentioned to me the tragedy in Gujia Village. He said that the case might be related to the rune circuit. I checked it out and found that it was indeed very strange. A family of five was killed. After the family was wiped out, the entire village disappeared.”

"We sent people to investigate the ruins of Gujia Village. Like you, we were attacked by the hair monster for the first time and were taken to the underground Gujia Village. However, our people were stronger than you, and the hair monster was no match for us and was beaten away by us. Well, we stayed in the underground Gujia Village for another two days, and we also investigated all the information you investigated, but the hair monster never showed up again."

White Rabbit glanced at Wu Dahai, "We have been there several times since then, and it's still the same. The hair monster is very cunning. He knows that we are not easy to mess with, so he refuses to come out. We basically conclude that this hair monster has swallowed the rune circuit. The product of subsequent mutations.”

"So you took advantage of us?" Officer Huang smiled bitterly.

"Yeah, it's really hard to find suitable candidates." White Rabbit blinked, "First of all, these people must be awakened people, but they can't be people from other organizations. We can't trust them. So, it's best if they don't Retail investors who understand the rune circuits.”

"Retail investors are also jargon, specifically referring to those of you wild awakeners who have not joined an organization." Wu Dahai added.

White Rabbit continued: "These awakened ones cannot be too strong, otherwise the hair monster will not show up. But they cannot be too weak, otherwise they will be easily killed by the hair monster directly, or they may be guessed by the hair monster as a trap, and they will not be able to show up at all. Take the bait. Finally, there is one very crucial point..."

Bai Tu turned sideways and stroked Qing Ling's long, smooth black hair, "The target should have super nice black hair. The hair monster has a strong obsession with this, and the probability of taking the bait is greater."

"So you picked the three of us." Officer Huang raised his eyebrows.

"YES!" White Rabbit smiled brightly, "You are retail investors, you have certain strength, you are still the perfect bait, and you are completely unaware of the existence of the rune circuit."

"What a big pig-killing tray." Officer Huang was very unhappy.

"Here we commend Wu Dahai again!" Bai Tu gave Wu Dahai a thumbs up. "He is worried about you and asked you to bring more helpers. If you hadn't brought Pang Jun and Wang Zikai with you, the result might have been different."

"Bad woman!" Officer Huang looked at White Rabbit in awe, "I will stay away from you in the future."

"Haha, I only cheat outsiders, never my teammates." White Rabbit gave Officer Huang a piece of baked potato, "We will be teammates from now on, so take care of me."

"Let's continue talking about returning to Gujia Village." Gao Yang urged.

"Okay." Bai Tu nodded, "According to the information I currently have, things in Gujia Village are not complicated. To put it simply, Hua Zi's daughter-in-law, the bride who married over, was devoured by the host. "

"What is a boarder?" Gao Yang quickly grasped the important knowledge points.

White Rabbit sighed with emotion: "Oh my God, you don't know anything. You are so lucky to live for such a long time!"

"Boarders are a type of greedy beast." Wu Dahai said, "There are currently two known greedy beasts: parasites and lodgers."

White Rabbit took over, "Parasite, as the name suggests, some beasts will parasitize humans at the cost of their own death, and coexist in a body with humans. It will retain a little of its own will and ability, but generally speaking, Humans are still the masters of this body.”

"Ah!" Fat Jun was still chewing barbecue in his mouth. He spit it out excitedly and pointed at his face: "Isn't this me!" "I learned about your situation from Wu Dahai, that's right. Your right hand is the parasite.”

"Blessed by Bodhisattva!" The big stone in Pang Jun's heart finally fell, "I'm still a human! That's great!"

"It's a pity that you can't control the shape and ability of your right hand yet, so work hard!" Bai Rabbit winked at Fat Jun and smiled, "When you can successfully control your right hand, you can become a regular!"

"Okay! I will definitely live up to the trust of the organization!" Pang Jun was full of energy as if he had been given a new lease of life.

"Wake up, you bitch!" Wu Dahai poured cold water on her, "When you become a valuable tool and sign a contract of betrayal with the organization, she will never abandon you again. I will serve as a warning."

Fat Jun touched his head and smiled stupidly: "Haha, it doesn't matter."

Wait, no.

Gao Yang, who was listening carefully, suddenly thought of something.

If the white cat was a parasite, it would probably die after biting Pang Jun.

But the white cat appeared again later. Could it be that this was not a white cat?Forget it, let's put this question aside, at least for now Pang Jun looks very healthy.

"Let me continue," White Rabbit brought back the topic, "In addition to parasites, greedy beasts also have hosts. Hosts are also easy to understand. They are seizing the body. This kind of beast will sacrifice its own body. Get into the body of the awakened person, completely occupy the original host, and become a new species with the body of the awakened person and the soul of a beast."

The newcomers listened carefully, but no one spoke.

"The bride is the awakened person whose body has been taken away by the host." White Rabbit said, "Biologically speaking, it is already a real human being. It can continue to disguise itself as a beast, or it can choose to be completely cut off. In the past, living as a human being was what we called a 'half-human'."

"Half-man." Gao Yang thought about this title, it was really intriguing.

"This half-human bride married into Hua Zi's family in Gujia Village," Bai Tu sighed, "and that night, she controlled the entire village and killed Hua Zi's family. You already know the method."

"Why kill them?" Officer Huang didn't understand.

Gao Yang was shocked: "Could it be that Huazi's family...are all human beings?!"

"bingo!"

"How is this possible?!" Officer Huang was in disbelief, "The probability is too small!"

Gao Yang was equally surprised, but he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart: maybe all his family members are human beings, at least... this possibility seems to be a little bigger.

Suddenly, Gao Yang noticed some problems: "That's wrong!"

"What's wrong?" White Rabbit asked deliberately.

"If Huazi's family is all awakened, how come they can't defeat that half-man?"

"Well," White Rabbit nodded, "Theoretically, if four awakened people fight one half-man, even if that half-man has the blessing of the rune circuit, there is still a chance of winning. If you take a step back, the end will not be so miserable. Moreover, If four awakened people live together, how can they find a beast as their wife? This is not very reasonable."

"Stop being so pretentious." Wu Dahai crossed his legs and said, "Just tell them directly."

Bai Tu's voice sank slightly: "Because the four members of Hua Zi's family have not awakened, they are just ordinary humans."
