The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 133
The young woman standing in the flower shop is wearing a light-colored floral apron, with brown curly hair draped over her shoulders. She is gentle, beautiful, and bright.

"Singer?"

Gao Yang recognized the woman in front of him and immediately looked up at the name of the flower shop: Sheng Ru Xia Hua.

"So your flower shop is here, very close to the headquarters."

"Yes." The singer nodded and smiled, "Come in and sit down. It won't rain for long. We will go to the headquarters together later."

Gao Yang and Qing Ling walked into the flower shop and were stunned again.

Standing in the flower shop was a handsome college student with pigtails on the back of his head.

He put his hands in his pockets, wore wireless headphones, and carried a black shoulder bag. He stood next to the flower stand and was concentrating on admiring a potted monstera plant.

"Tengu?" Gao Yang shouted.

Tengu slowly turned around, took off one of his headphones, and waved to Gao Yang and Qing Ling: "Yo."

"Are you here to take shelter from the rain too?" Gao Yang noticed the tengu's wet bangs and a few water stains on his shoulders.

"Ah, I forgot to bring my umbrella." Tengu said in a lazy voice.

"It's unacceptable for four humans to appear in the store at once." The singer smiled and immediately turned around, changing the business sign at the entrance of the store to "closed".

"You guys go up to the second floor. I'll come up after I close the store."

"it is good."

The Tengu yawned and went up the small escalator at the end.

Gao Yang suddenly felt a little sleepy, and he really couldn't talk to the singer anymore.

The second floor of the flower shop is a large compartment with two rooms and one living room. The living room is well-lit and decorated in a warm cafe style, with wooden floors, lazy sofas, carpets, pothos plants, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a bar.

The three of them sat down on the soft sofa. Tengu and Qingling were both men of few words. The three of them looked at each other and said nothing.

After a while, the singer came up.

She smiled at the three of them, made a gesture of making coffee, and went to work at the bar.

Gao Yang thought for a while and took the initiative to chat with Tengu: "Tengu, do you often come to the singer's shop?"

"During the holidays, I buy flowers for my mother." Tengu thought for a moment and added, "She likes flowers."

"Oh, that's it." Gao Yang didn't bother to pave the way and went straight to the point, "I heard that you had an internship at Qilin Union before?"

Tengu leaned back on the sofa and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Yes, I woke up during my freshman year and the Kirin Guild came to find me."

"Why didn't you stay there?"

"I don't like it." Tengu said bluntly.

"Um, can you be more specific?"

"It feels like going to work." Tengu sighed slightly, "Ah, going to work is so troublesome."

Gao Yang nodded to express his understanding.

In comparison, the Chinese Zodiac is indeed very scattered. In fact, if you put aside the dangerous tasks of exploring the Fu Cave, the Chinese Zodiac at other times is more like a humane studio or even a big family.

The sound of the coffee brewing machine being flushed came from the bar. The singer smiled lightly at the three of them and made a "wait a moment" gesture.

Gao Yang's thoughts were a little divergent: People who choose the twelve zodiac signs are probably kind-hearted and have a bottom line. After all, many people will not be able to pass the test of not killing the lost.

Secondly, most people are also loose-tempered people. Of course, except for Bai Tu, Bai Tu is a workaholic, but she has long regarded the organization as her home and is actually very emotional.

Silence came again. Gao Yang turned his head and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window. The heavy rain was still falling, there were no pedestrians on the wet street, and the bustling neon lights were dimmed in the rain and fog.

At this time, make a cup of coffee, play some soothing music, and, preferably, a fat cat with a good touch. Isn't it the "quiet years and good times" in the novel?

Gao Yang was slightly distracted, and suddenly his eyes flashed!
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, at the entrance of a narrow alley across the street, stood a man dressed in black and holding a black umbrella.

Although the heavy rain blurred his vision, Gao Yang still recognized it - that man was Guima!
"Wow—"

A small truck crossed the wet road, blocking Gao Yang's sight.

Two seconds later, the pickup truck drove away and the ghost horse at the entrance of the alley disappeared. "What?" Qing Ling noticed the subtle changes in Gao Yang's expression.

"I just seemed to see..." As Gao Yang spoke, the singer came over with three cups of coffee: "Take it easy."

Gao Yang took the coffee and immediately changed his words: "I saw an old classmate, I guess he admitted his mistake."

Qing Ling stopped asking and took the coffee.

Gao Yang pretended to taste the coffee, but actually started thinking about it.

That man is a ghost, I must have read it right.

But is resurrection from the dead really possible?

At least on the talent list of 11-199, Gao Yang has never seen this kind of talent. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the top 10 talents include [Resurrection], a heaven-defying ability.

However, there is a talent that is closer to resurrection, called [Fake Death], serial number 58, life system.

According to the data, when the head, heart and body are not seriously damaged, the owner of [Suspended Animation] will automatically resurrect after a period of death.

Could it be that Guima still has the talent of [suspended death], but he is actually a third-level talent?
The possibility is unlikely. Since Long can discover that Guima has [Teleport], there is no reason not to discover that he also has the third talent.

Let's assume that Guima has been resurrected. What does he want to do when he appears near the singer's flower shop?
Simply miss her, or observe her and wait for an opportunity to instigate her?If he wants to instigate rebellion, wouldn't it be more secretive and convenient for Gui Ma to directly use [Sound Transmission] on the singer?
Gao Yang decided not to tell the singer and Tengu for the time being. He would find an opportunity to tell Qing Ling and Officer Huang later, and then report to Dou Hu and let him make a judgment.

About half an hour later, the heavy rain stopped.

The singer led the three of them out of the alley at the back door, took a less crowded shortcut, came to the back door of the Millennium Building, and took the special elevator to -F6.

Before the meeting, Gao Yang found an opportunity to tell Dou Hu alone about the ghost horse he saw.

"Are you sure you read it right?"

"I'm not 100% sure." Gao Yang answered truthfully, "But I think I should report to you immediately."

"Good job." Douhu patted Gao Yang on the shoulder: "Okay, I will confirm this and have a meeting first."

……

Ten minutes later, everyone except Long gathered at the Rat Gate and sat down around the long conference table.

Bai Tu presided over the meeting. She put the encrypted invitation letter from the Qilin Union on the big screen. After some sweet words and passionate greetings about the genealogy of all members of the Qilin Union, her mood finally stabilized.

"Rabbit, please take a rest first." Douhu smiled and pressed his hand towards White Rabbit.

White Rabbit snorted and sat down.

Douhu looked at everyone: "Come on, let's express our thoughts."

As the parties concerned, Gao Yang, Qing Ling and Huang Police Officers couldn't say anything first.

"I still don't understand, why are these three newcomers poached?" Wu Dahai spoke first, "If you want to poach, you should also poach outstanding old employees like us!"

"That's a good question, don't ask it next time." Douhu shook his head in disappointment.

"Are you an idiot?" White Rabbit rolled his eyes, "The Qilin Guild is poaching old fritters like us. That's not inviting wolves into the house. They're just eating enough to keep them going."

White Rabbit looked at the three newcomers: "But they are different. They have only joined the Chinese Zodiac not long ago."

The implication: low loyalty, easy to cultivate and easy to bribe.

"Ha ha."

Dead Pig's laughter was rich and his speech was unexpectedly clear: "You want me to dig them out too. I've only been in the organization for a month, and I've already entered the Talisman Cave twice, and both of them were successful. Who knows how many surprises they have, dig them out." In the past, there were many benefits.”

"Yes."

Douhu smiled expertly: "If you dig it successfully, you will make a profit. If you don't dig it, it will be a big temptation for these three people. It can shake the cohesion of the twelve zodiac animals from the inside. This deal is guaranteed to make a profit."

"How damn insidious!" Wu Dahai was very excited, "We can't fall into their trap!"

"It seems that the 7 prophecies are true." There was a hint of worry in Tengu's lazy voice.

"What are the 7 prophecies?" Gao Yang wondered how the baby's character would never fade.
