The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 691
Christmas Eve.

Changyan District, Baihu Hotel, Room 5004.

But he closed the entrance door expressionlessly, without turning on the light, walked straight to the bedroom, closed the door, and locked it.

Then, she took off her coat, kicked off her high heels, relaxed, and fell on the bed.

Elder Xuanwu’s day is finally over

Although she basically didn't do any substantial work that day, it still left her exhausted.

Every minute of the day, she plays the role of a woman who is completely opposite to her own personality.

This woman is shrewd, cunning, strong-willed, good at disguising, playing the role of a pig to eat the tiger, unpredictable, and has no bottom line.

Every look, every tone of voice must be accurately grasped, and even when you are alone, you cannot relax at all.

There are many things to be wary of, such as mirrors and smooth surfaces that reflect light, plants, mammals, and aquatic life. Even indoors, you must be wary of [clairvoyance] that can see through things.

Only the bedrooms of the White Lake Hotel are absolutely safe. There are none of the above things here. The use of Black Fish's [clairvoyance] is also prohibited here, otherwise your eyes will be gouged out.

Despite this, I couldn't sleep well, and I was always worried that I would say something in my sleep that I shouldn't.

It had only been three days, but she felt extremely tired. She didn't know how long she could hold on. She lay on the bed and breathed a long sigh of relief, suddenly craving for milk tea.

When she lived in 5003, Elder Suzaku always loved to buy her milk tea, but she didn't particularly like to drink it at that time.

But now, she missed him so much.

However, she can't drink anymore, because now Keyou is not a woman who knows how to order milk tea.

Soon, she realized that what she missed was not the milk tea, but the days when Suzaku took care of her and was accompanied by the members of Suzaku's group.

——But again, do you regret it?
——Perhaps, following Sister Xia is the most peaceful and relaxing thing.

——But you have chosen the Jiu Si Organization, chosen the people entrusted by Emond, and deceived and harmed Elder Suzaku. You can't look back.

"jingle."

The doorbell rang.

But she stood up suddenly again, and in the darkness, the relaxation and vulnerability on her face immediately disappeared.

She frowned slightly, her eyes were sharp, the corners of her mouth raised, and she adjusted into a false smile.

She quickly tied up her hair, put on a windbreaker and high heels, walked out of the room and came to the entrance.

But he opened the door again, and there was Suzaku outside, wearing brown pajamas, with unkempt hair and a slightly haggard expression.

"Elder Zhuque, what's the matter?" Ke You's chuckle revealed a sense of alienation.

Elder Zhuque also smiled, showing a little softness: "I haven't slept well these days. I always feel that something is wrong?"

But he still smiled, with a look of indifference that said, "It's none of my business."

"You and I have been together day and night for a while. In the past few days, I have carefully thought about you before and compared it with you now. I always feel that something is strange..."

"Elder Zhuque." Ke added, "I disappoint you. The Ke before doesn't exist."

Suzaku concentrated slightly, staring at Keyou's face, and said in a faint voice: "But why do I feel that the Keyou before was more real."

But he was shocked in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface: "This is just your illusion."

"Ha." Suzaku suddenly showed a bit of a "cheap" smile: "No, look at you now..."

"Elder Suzaku, I'm tired. I have nothing else to do and I'm going to rest." But his face turned cold again.

At this time, Ke's cell phone rang again.

But he only glanced at it and put it back in his pocket.

It was a text message from an unknown number, four words and two punctuation marks:
——Everything goes well and profitably.

But he suddenly changed his previous attitude and softened his tone: "Sister Xia, how about we have a chat."

"Just what I wanted." Suzaku nodded.

"You change into formal clothes and we go out to talk." But he lowered his voice and said, "This is not the place to talk."

"Okay, wait." Suzaku turned around and walked to his room.

Seeing Suzaku enter the door, he immediately ran away and rushed into the elevator.

After getting out of the elevator, he walked out of the lobby expressionlessly, onto the snowy road, and walked towards a late-night hot pot restaurant on the left.

But as soon as he arrived at the door of the hotpot restaurant, a cool breeze penetrated his mind and turned into Jiuhan's voice.

[Jiuhan: I will show you the way, leave immediately. 】

[But again: I’m not sure if I’m being followed. 】

[Jiu Han: Don’t worry, go straight and turn right, then turn left at the second intersection. Black car, tail number 36. Go fast, just run. 】

But he didn't hesitate and ran away.

Facing the heavy snow, she had the illusion that she was wearing a shrewd, cunning and indifferent mask on her face, which gradually shattered and disintegrated as she ran away.

Soon, only eagerness, panic and guilt were left on her face.

She didn't look back and ran faster and faster. She soon reached her destination and saw a black car with the tail number 36.

But he felt happy again and quickly stepped forward. "brush--"

A figure fell from the roof next to the street and stopped Keyou. It was Suzaku who was still wearing pajamas and fur slippers.

But he couldn't hide his surprise and quickly put on his previous mask: "Elder Suzaku, are you following me?"

"Stop acting." Suzaku smiled with a complicated mood, with a soft light in his eyes, "I still like the girl before."

But it was exposed again and fell into silence.

Two seconds later, Suzaku retracted his smile: "But again, have you thought about joining Jiu Si?"

But he avoided her eyes and said, "Elder Suzaku, I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize, everyone has his own ambitions." Suzaku sighed: "But again, I don't want to hurt you, but as the elder of the Qilin Union, I must capture you."

Suzaku said and took a step forward.

"Shhhh-"

Two flying knives came from the darkness. Suzaku noticed it in time and tilted his head to avoid it.

"brush--"

Half a second later, a figure came to her side, and Suzaku saw clearly from the corner of his eye: the figure had frizzy blond hair, a handsome and flamboyant face, and a proud smile at the corner of his mouth.

"boom!"

Wang Zikai was merciful and punched Suzaku without using bone spurs or using all his strength.

Suzaku quickly activated [Equivalent Exchange] to triple his strength. He crossed his hands to block the punch, feeling that what he was blocking was a motorcycle rushing towards him at high speed.

Suzaku was blown away seven or eight meters. She landed on the ground with a back somersault, and stood firmly. Her right hand slowly dropped, her fingers twisted, and a trail of blood flowed down her arm.

Just one punch fractured Suzaku's right forearm.

— What a monster.

Suzaku held his right arm with his left hand and activated [Equivalent Exchange]. In the blink of an eye, the injured right hand returned to its original state.

"Suzaku, right?"

Wang Zikai did not attack again. He put one hand in his pocket and pointed with his thumb at the girl behind him with the other hand: "My brother wants this person. If you are interested, get out of here. Our 94 organization will not kill the Suzaku group."

Suzaku was stunned for a moment, and Gao Yang's still gentle face immediately appeared in his mind, and he smiled secretly in his heart: You brat, you are so promising, you are already looking cool in front of your aunt.As I said before, men should be more courageous.

"You go, I can't beat you, try your best." Suzaku told them and also told himself.

"Elder Suzaku." But his eyes were red and he said again: "I'm sorry."

Suzaku smiled slightly and took out a dark ring box from his pajamas pocket: "I originally wanted to explain it to you tonight before giving this to you."

Suzaku threw it gently, and Wang Zikai caught it, checked it, made sure there was nothing wrong, and handed it to Keyou.

But when he opened it again, there was a black gold ring inside, exactly like the one on his hand.

It was Edmund's ring, but he picked it up again and looked at the inner wall of the ring. Sure enough, there was a word engraved on it: lost.

But he was stunned again. The combination of the two rings was "Neverlost."

——Never get lost.

"But again, I know this ring is very important to you, so I will keep it for you. I originally wanted to give it to you when you remember it." Suzaku sighed: "I don't worry about the ring being worn on a corpse, because there were corpses before. A case of theft.”

But he was stunned again.

In an instant, tears welled up in my eyes.

It turned out that she had misunderstood Suzaku, and she thought that Suzaku was deliberately hiding it from her.

If Suzaku could tell Keyou earlier, if Keyou could be brave enough to directly ask Suzaku where Edmund's ring is...

No, there is no if.

There is no turning back on the path you choose.

But he wiped away his tears, put the ring back into the ring box, and threw it back towards Suzaku.

Suzaku caught it with a puzzled look on his face: "You don't want it?"

"Sister Xia, this ring is given to you."

But he cried and laughed, stretched out his right hand, and said the word on his ring: "Never."

Suzaku was stunned.

Heavy snowfall fell on Suzaku's hair, face, and tear-stained eyelashes. She waved to the girl with an expressionless face.

"Let's go, let's go."

But he said nothing, turned around and followed Wang Zikai towards the car that had started.

Suzaku still stood on the calm street with heavy snowfall, watching the car drive away until it disappeared.

After a long time, she opened the ring box, put on the ring, and said the word silently.
