The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 58 Cang Dao
The barbecue on the iron plate was sizzling, smoke was curling up, and the people at the table fell into a brief and subtle silence.

Pang Jun was the first to speak. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked the question that everyone else was concerned about: "Don't beasts... don't attack ordinary humans?"

"Yes." White Rabbit was waiting for him to ask this question. "This rule applies everywhere, but obviously, the bride broke this rule."

"Why?" Gao Yang didn't understand.

"Who knows, maybe after becoming half-human, her spirit has undergone some changes, or maybe the rune circuit has had a strange impact on her." White Rabbit lightly shrugged, "After all, we don't know much about the rune circuit. Still very little.”

"In short, she became a bug. She should have awakened the beasts in the whole village through some kind of mental interference and cut the Huazi family into pieces. But what's interesting is that the bride also let the beasts in the village cut herself into pieces. , can be understood as suicide.”

"It's so strange." Officer Huang shook his head, "It took a lot of effort to become a human, but then he committed suicide."

"What's weird," Wu Dahai smiled nonchalantly, "Maybe it regrets it and feels that being a human is not as interesting as being an animal, and wants to be reincarnated."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out," White Rabbit held his chin with one hand, "Based on the result, the bride's suicide failed. Due to the existence of the rune circuit, her head 'survived' and retained the power of the living. He still has a certain amount of intelligence, but after a long period of alienation, he turned into the hair monster we see."

"As for the beasts in Gujia Village, they returned to human form, erased all traces of the crime, rationalized everything again, and forgot everything. In the view of the police: Huazi's family was exterminated and quartered, and the bride's head was not found. What happens next? , the villagers held a funeral for Huazi's family, and then, a whole village disappeared overnight..."

The white rabbit suddenly stopped.

A few seconds later, the proprietress of the barbecue restaurant came over with a tray. She had a sexy and voluptuous figure and a rich but addictive aroma. She put down the tray with 7 drinks on it: "Our special sour plum soup. Let the fire quench your thirst, do you want to taste it?"

"Thank you." White Rabbit was the first to take the sour plum soup.

The others picked up a glass.

Gao Yang took a sip and said, "It tastes good."

"As long as you like it." The landlady smiled lightly, her eyebrows soft and charming.

Several men lingered so long that they almost forgot the gender of the landlady.

"Everyone, please use it." The proprietress turned and left. It wasn't until she was far away that Officer Huang said with emotion, "What a terrifying talent."

"Pa." White Rabbit snapped his fingers, "Okay, take your attention back, hold on, class will be over when the lecture is over."

"Teacher, please tell me." Everyone drank sour plum soup and got into the show.

"One and a half people, together with all the beasts in the village, broke the rules. Even if the police can't solve the case, they still can't escape Cang Dao's punishment."

When Gao Yang was about to speak, Bai Tu stretched out his hand to stop him: "I know what you want to ask."

"Cang Dao is just a commonly used term." White Rabbit thought for a moment, "Well, it is actually a general term for the rules, laws, and order of the world's operations."

"A considerable number of awakened people believe that this world, as well as the current relationship between humans and beasts, and the formation of various rules, are controlled by an invisible and powerful force. This force is like the 'celestial sky' that the ancients called it. , 'Tao' is the same, it has no position, no emotions, is incomprehensible, and cannot be violated."

"Of course, there are also a small number of awakened people who believe that its state is closer to a cold and ruthless advanced artificial intelligence. It is an advanced product of an advanced civilization that we cannot understand. The rune circuit also comes from this civilization."

"The above are the two more mainstream speculations. In short, whether it is Cangdao or advanced artificial intelligence, they have a strict set of rules for beasts. The most important one is - they must not attack unawakened humans. Once attacked, You will be punished, and we call this punishment - heavenly punishment."

"So everyone in Gujia Village suffered from heaven's punishment." Gao Yang understood.

"Yes." White Rabbit nodded, "According to our speculation, because the half-human bride killed someone, Cang Dao made the entire Gujia Village sink 1000 meters underground. The beasts in the whole village have been repeating what they did for more than ten days. There is no end to the things they have done. Don’t ask me why Cangdao punishes them like this. I don’t know. Anyway, judging from the results, these beasts seem to be in prison, and the hair monster is naturally trapped in it. Can't escape." "As for the Gujia Village on the surface, you can understand that Cangdao used a 3D printing technology to recreate an almost identical Gujia Village to replace the previous Gujia Village that was sunk into the ground."

White Rabbit clapped his hands, "That's it. That's it. Students can ask questions if they don't understand anything."

No one asked questions, everyone was trying to digest the explosive information.

"Hey," Wu Dahai patted Pangjun on the shoulder with a senior look on his face, "When I first learned this, I was just like you. My whole body was broken. But where are you now? Do you know what the end is? Do you know what the Crimson Tide is? You have a lot of lessons to make up for!"

"Okay, that's all for today, take your time." White Rabbit stood up and stretched, "You take your time and enjoy, I'll leave first."

"Wait," Gao Yang called to Bai Rabbit, "last question."

"You said."

"What should we do now?" Gao Yang was a little confused.

"That's the question..." White Rabbit rolled his eyes, "To put it more simply, what you have to do now is to become stronger. This is a must-learn lesson for awakened people. The stronger you are, the more you can lower yourself to the beasts and the same kind. , half-humans, alienated creatures and other enemies, the more likely you are to survive the next Crimson Tide.”

Crimson Tide?

It sounds scary, but since White Rabbit brought it up, it should be public information that can be learned later when there is a chance.

"Taking it more seriously, you... no, what all of us awakened people should do is to find the 12-yuan rune circuit as soon as possible. Theoretically, collecting all the rune circuits can open the door to the end. It's absolutely impossible Some awakened people, including our organization, believe that opening the Door to the End is the first step to clearing the 'fog', and may also be the most critical step."

White Rabbit suddenly felt a little frustrated, and a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, "But... this is too difficult."

"Is it difficult to find?" Officer Huang asked.

"Yes, the rune circuits appear irregularly, and finding them all depends on luck, but this is not the most difficult thing. After all, as long as the time is long enough, you can always collect them all." White Rabbit's voice was a little colder, "But what is more difficult is that, After collecting all the rune circuits, who will give them to you?"

"There is no awakened person..." Gao Yang looked for words, "Is there a leader?"

"There is a problem." Wu Dahai still crossed his legs, "There are no masters among the dragons, the warlords are divided, and the Three Kingdoms are in power..."

"Although the idiom is not used well, the meaning is still in place." White Rabbit smiled, "By then, I am afraid that a full-scale civil war will break out among the awakened people. A mathematician among the awakened people made a risk assessment model, and the model calculated The result is: when that day comes, 94% of the awakened people will die in the civil war, and an awakened leader will eventually be born, who will lead the surviving awakened people to open the door to the end and continue to move forward..."

"To be honest, I'm not really looking forward to that day." White Rabbit smiled half-heartedly, "After all, who can guarantee that you are not the 94%, but the 6%?"

Gao Yang was silent.

Officer Huang frowned.

Qing Ling's face was expressionless.

Fat Jun swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"What the heck are you afraid of!" A bold and loud voice sounded. Wang Zikai woke up at some point. He stepped on the barbecue table, raised his arms and shouted: "Within one year, I promise to kill the lizard people, kill them all." Other organizations, open those broken doors and lead you to victory!"

Suddenly, the bustling barbecue restaurant fell silent. Dozens of customers put down their food and looked back at Wang Zikai, who stood tall, and the few people beside him.
