The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 96 Funeral
[-] a.m., Taipingqiao Cemetery.

This is a cemetery mountain, surrounded by a clear river at the foot of the mountain. There is a very old stone bridge on the river, called Taiping Bridge. After crossing the bridge, it is the resting place of the deceased. The green vegetation all over the mountain is dotted with gray and white. Stone tablet.

This is an old cemetery outside the city. It lacks planning, is messy, and is overgrown with weeds. It has an air of desolation and dilapidation.

However, Gao Yang prefers this old cemetery to those neat, new and beautiful cemeteries. He always feels that this is what a cemetery should be like, this is the world that truly belongs to the deceased.

Everyone except Long attended Guima's funeral.

Everyone took a shovel and each person took turns burying Gui Ma's coffin.

Afterwards, the Tengu erected the carved tombstone.

The cute sheep was crying all the way, and her eyes were swollen like two light bulbs. At this moment, she couldn't help crying again. She still didn't believe it and asked the white rabbit beside her: "Is Uncle Ghost Horse really a bad person?"

"Cute little sheep, Uncle Ghost Horse is not a bad person," the white rabbit squatted down and comforted the cute sheep, "he is just a big bad wolf."

"Big bad wolf?" Mengyang didn't understand.

"Well, the big bad wolf will starve to death if he doesn't eat the little pig, but if the big bad wolf eats the little pig, the little pig will die. Either the big bad wolf or the little pig will die."

"We are little pigs, and Uncle Ghost Horse is the big bad wolf." The cute sheep seemed to understand, with a soft voice.

"Yes, that's it." White Rabbit took the cute sheep into his arms.

Douhu coughed twice and announced sadly: "Guima joined the Chinese Zodiac for 9 years and was once our close comrade-in-arms, friend, and family member. But in the end he chose to betray, or maybe, from the beginning, he was Came here with an undercover mission.”

Douhu's eyes slowly swept over everyone present: "We are all ordinary people, and we cannot forget our grudges with a smile, but we can always forget them with death. It is fate that we can walk together for a while. In the future, everyone will try to miss them Guima is good, forget his bad."

No one spoke.

The tengu took out his mouth organ, turned his back to the crowd, faced the empty mountains, and played the tune silently, with sad and melancholy tunes.

At this time, everyone took turns walking to the tombstone with white daisies in hand to lay flowers for Guima.

The last person to present flowers was the singer. She specially put on bright makeup, but she still couldn't hide her red and swollen eyes.

She gently put down the flower cluster, put two fingers on her lips, and then gently placed them on the tombstone as a final farewell.

When the song was over, the flowers were laid out.

Everyone left one after another, Gao Yang was walking at the end. Just after taking two steps, he suddenly felt excited.

He turned around suddenly and was surprised, it was the white cat again!

At this moment, it was standing on Guima's tombstone, with an elegant and noble posture, and a pair of kaleidoscope-like green eyes watching him quietly.

"Gao Yang?" Officer Huang called him, "Leave."

In the blink of an eye, the white cat disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Gao Yang quickly entered the system, but his luck point income did not double. It seemed that the white cat was not hostile to him.

In fact, Gao Yang had thought about whether to tell Officer Huang and Qing Ling about the white cat.

But for some reason, Gao Yang had a strong intuition that this white cat was coming for him.So it might be better not to involve your companions.

……

On the way back to the headquarters, Gao Yang, Qing Ling, Officer Huang, and Bai Tu got into Dou Hu's off-road vehicle.

Douhu drank beer while driving and talked significantly less than usual.

White Rabbit was sitting in the passenger seat, bending his legs and painting his toes with black nail polish.

Officer Huang was holding his mobile phone and chatting with his wife on WeChat.

Qing Ling leaned back, tilted her head and leaned against the car window, closing her eyes to rest.

"How sad the singer must be." Suddenly, Douhu said something out of nowhere.

"Does she have a good relationship with Guima?" Officer Huang answered.

"Very good." The one who replied was Bai Rabbit, who was still applying her toenail polish with her head down.

"Gui Ma's law firm is very close to the flower shop owned by the singer. Guima will go to the singer's flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers every day before going to work. The singer will make two cups of coffee, and the two will chat while drinking coffee. Will God."

Although it was untimely, Gao Yang suddenly thought of a question, "Isn't the talent of the singer [Requiem]?" "Is there any problem?" White Rabbit asked back.

Gao Yang reacted on his own, "Ah, I forgot, Guima's talent is [Sound Transmission]."

"Their talents are a perfect match." Douhu continued: "Once I passed by a flower shop and saw the two of them sitting in front of the glass display window, listening to music and drinking coffee. Neither of them spoke, and they smiled from time to time. As soon as I smiled, I always suspected that they were having an affair."

"Why do you say it's so ugly? They call it divine friendship." Bai Tu glared at Dou Hu, "The singer usually doesn't have anyone to talk to her, she's very lonely."

Gao Yang tried to imagine that scene and found it quite romantic. He couldn't help but lamented: "No wonder the singer is so sad."

"There is a reason why the captain prohibits office romance." White Rabbit smiled bitterly.

"Gao Yang, Guima is dead, and you will take his place." Douhu changed the subject, "From now on, you will be the horse in the Chinese zodiac. Have you decided on a name?"

"It was too sudden, I didn't have time to think about it." Gao Yang answered truthfully.He originally wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want to be on the front line so soon.

"How about teacher, let me give you a name." Douhu smiled, "I just thought of one that suits you."

"Okay." Gao Yang was more respectful than obeying his orders.

"Dark horse." Douhu raised his eyebrows, "How is it?"

Hello!This name is too arrogant and attracts hatred!
Teacher, you are definitely flattering me!
Gao Yang complained in his heart: "Why don't you think about it again..."

"This is pretty good." White Rabbit raised a hand, "I vote for dark horse."

"Two votes." Officer Huang said with a wicked smile.

"3 votes." Qing Ling, who closed her eyes to rest, spoke.

"It was decided happily." Douhu was very satisfied with the result.

"Then, thank you, teacher." His arms couldn't hold his thighs, so Gao Yang had no choice but to accept.

Dark horse?
Then let me lend you some good words.

……

Douhu did not drive back to the Millennium Building, but went to Guima's residence first.

First, help him sort out his belongings.

Secondly, look for clues, maybe you will find something.

Guima is indifferent to people, single all year round, has no house or car, and lives in a rental house.

Douhu easily opened the locked door. Inside was a single apartment with a floor-to-ceiling window balcony at the end. The white curtains swayed lightly in the wind and the lighting was good.

The apartment was surprisingly monotonous and tidy. There was a large, thick gray mattress on the floor. Next to the mattress was a folding table with a closed laptop placed on the table.

There is a bookshelf standing next to it. There are more than a dozen law books on the top floor, and the rest of the space is filled with jazz CDs.

Under the wall opposite the bed stood a set of professional and luxurious black speakers. It was probably the only valuable thing in the house.

Gao Yang tried to profile Guima: He squeezed the subway home from work every day, closed the door, took off his shoes, put down his briefcase, took off his suit, put on his home pajamas, went to the bookshelf to pick a CD he liked, turned on the speaker, and then went Take out the refrigerated ingredients from the refrigerator and listen to music while preparing dinner.

Life is monotonous, routine, and lonely.

Why did he betray the organization?Who does he work for?What is his purpose?What ideals and aspirations does he have?Any regrets?Who did he love?Who have you hated?Who are you worried about?
I'm afraid it's hard to know this.

The five people searched Guima's house and found no valuable clues, which only added some sadness.

Douhu took away Guima's laptop and decided to leave.At this time, his cell phone rang, and he picked up the phone gracefully. After listening for half a minute, he replied "face to face" and hung up.

He raised his eyebrows at White Rabbit: "Rabbit, guess who called?"

"If you like to talk, get out." White Rabbit was not in the mood to guess.

"Baichuan Group." Douhu looked excited, having forgotten all about the ghost horse.

"Baichuan Group?" White Rabbit also became interested: "Is something wrong?"

"Great thing, they found a talisman cave."
