The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 67 Passing and Inheritance

Wu Dahai's first move was without any suspense. He stroked his wilted broom head with both hands. He didn't even need to spray hairspray on the broom head before he stroked the broom head until it was firm and stiff. Sure enough, his hands were equipped with "ionic perm". man.

Wu Dahai walked to the left side of the office. There was a circular totem with a diameter of two meters on the floor. It was vaguely identifiable as a relatively freehand zodiac sign.

He waved his hand: "Come here, everyone."

Gao Yang, Qing Ling, Officer Huang and White Rabbit all came to him and stood in the totem.

"despair."

Wu Dahai snapped his fingers. A second later, the totem under his feet turned into a lifting platform, rotating and slowly descending. When it completed a circle, the lifting platform stopped just in time and came to a secret room.

The group of people stepped off the lift and began to look around.

The secret room has a polygonal ring structure, measuring about [-] square meters by visual inspection. The walls and ceiling are made of rich ivory white stone walls.

Gao Yang counted a total of twelve walls. Each wall was engraved with abstract and solemn reliefs. From the one o'clock direction, they were: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, rooster, monkey. , dogs, pigs.

Under each relief, there is a metal table that is both simple and full of technology. There are a different number of zodiac masks on the table. Each mask has a different type, shape, age, and degree of damage. They are all placed on a sealed The oxygen-free glass cabinet looks like an antique for display.

Gao Yang came under the relief of the rat. There were three sealed oxygen-free glass cabinets on the metal table, all of which contained rat masks. The year was written on the outside of the glass.

The first mask was a cheap plastic mouse mask that looked like a toy from a street stall for a few bucks.Year: 1965-1980.

The second mask is a rat hood made of rubber. It has a very punk style, but only the upper part of the hood is left. The lower part seems to have been cut open by a sharp weapon. There are still a lot of dried dark red blood stains on the hood. .Year: 1983-1984.

The third mask was the worst, with only some irreparable metal fragments left, which looked like traces of being melted by high temperatures. It should be a mask made of metal.Year: 1993-2010.

Not only Gao Yang, Qing Ling and Officer Huang were also attracted by other masks. They circled around the reliefs and walked around, as if they were visiting a museum.

Gao Yang took a quick tour and found that there were masks under each relief, ranging from one to as many as six, but there was only one mask underneath the dragon.

"Are you curious? Why doesn't the dragon have a mask?" White Rabbit came behind Gao Yang and looked at the dragon relief on the wall with him.

"A little."

"Our organization was founded 57 years ago. Within three years, the twelve zodiac signs were formed. When positions are vacant, the organization will recruit new suitable candidates to fill them. Therefore, most of the time, the twelve zodiac signs have always been twelve people. , you can understand it as a kind of inheritance.”

White Rabbit's expression turned serious. In her opinion, this was not something that could be ridiculed. "Each member can tailor their own zodiac mask. In order to facilitate differentiation, starting from the second generation, the name cannot be a simple zodiac sign. You have to add a word. For example, the first generation of rats is called 'Rat', the second generation is called 'Sui Rat', the third generation is called 'Shadow Rat', and the fourth generation is Wu Dahai. His talent is [Thunder and Lightning], so he calls himself 'Electric Mouse'."

Gao Yang understood immediately, "The masks placed here are all dead seniors."

"Yes, Wu Dahai is the fourth generation." White Rabbit's eyes were full of respect, "I am the third generation, Mengyang is the worst, already the seventh generation, she is the group favorite now, everyone would rather die than I hope Meng Yang dies. But with Meng Yang’s current talent, it’s not easy to die.”

Gao Yang was startled, "Isn't that dragon..."

"The dragon has not died yet, so it is still called 'dragon'. The dragon is the captain and the founder of the Chinese zodiac." When the white rabbit talked about the captain, his tone changed again, "The captain is so miserable, all the first generation teammates are dead. , it’s just him and us, the new losers.”

Gao Yang was in a complicated mood: "You said before that the captain and I were brothers, which made me think... the captain is very young." "He is very young, not only young, but also a handsome guy!" Bai Tu showed a charming smile, "You'll know what's going on later."

"Okay." Gao Yang stopped asking.

Gao Yang thought for a while and asked, "Is the vice-captain a tiger?"

"Wow, how do you know? Wu Dahai told you?" White Rabbit was surprised.

"No, I found that apart from the dragon, the tiger has the least mask, only one, so he must be very senior."

White Rabbit gave a thumbs up, "You are very smart, and I like smart people. The vice-captain's name is Douhu. He will not come to the newcomer welcome party. He is on a mission."

The sound of the elevator landing was heard from behind. White Rabbit looked over Gao Yang's shoulder and his eyes lit up, "Ah, everyone else is here."

Gao Yang turned around and the group walked down the lift platform.

Tengu walked in the front. He was still wearing a mask and sat on the shoulders of the cute sheep. Today, the cute sheep put on a light green Han skirt. The previous round hair was tied into a cute braid. She held up a candied haws. , waved to Gao Yang, "Brother Gao Yang, we meet again!"

"Yes, cute little sheep." Gao Yang was also very happy to see cute sheep. This little girl not only saved him, but also gave her a sense of intimacy as a younger sister.

"They're all here." Dead Pig smiled cheerfully. When he stepped off the lift, everyone felt the floor shaking slightly.

Behind the dead pig are two men and one woman, all wearing masks. They are respectively a chicken, a monkey, and a horse.

"Let me introduce, these three are our new members: Gao Yang, Qing Ling, Huang Qi, and Officer Huang." Bai Tu said, walking to his teammates and introducing them in turn: "These three are Ghost Horse, Spooky Monkey, and Song Chicken."

The man named Guima is not "Guima" at all. He wears a horse face mask with a world-weary look. It feels like the horse is suffering from depression.

The man took off his mask. He was a middle-aged man with prominent eyebrows and a broad chin. He had deep nasolabial folds and large dark circles under his eyes. He was wearing a stereotypical dark blue suit and carrying a black briefcase. He looked like he had worked overtime for three days and nights. of social animals.

Guima stretched out his hand politely and said in a gloomy voice, "Hello."

"Hello." Gao Yang gently shook his hand. His palm was as cold as a dead person. Then he shook hands with Qing Ling and Officer Huang.

After shaking hands, he took out three business cards from his suit pocket: "Please accept."

The three of them looked at each other and took the business card, feeling very embarrassed for a moment.

Gao Yang took a look at the business card and was slightly surprised. It turned out to be a lawyer from a firm.

The ghost horse retreated and the monkey stepped forward. He was wearing an opera-style mask of the Monkey King, with silver hair and a white Tai Chi suit. He was elderly.

The old man named Pohou took off his mask.

Gao Yang was shocked: It was him? !
