The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 17 Mantis Catching Cicadas
Gao Yang slowed down and quickly made a decision, starting to walk towards a crowded place.

Theoretically, if a conflict occurs in a crowded place, it will only attract more angry beasts and increase the mortality rate.But if you think about it carefully, if it is an angry beast that is following you, it means that this angry beast has discovered - or at least doubted his identity as an awakened person.

But it didn't attack him immediately, but followed him, which meant that this angry beast wanted to eat him alone.Since you want to eat alone, you will definitely not do it in a crowded place.

Soon, Gao Yang passed by a 24-hour convenience store. He took a deep breath, turned around and walked in.

Soon, a girl with short to medium hair in a school uniform ran out from the corner of the intersection. She chased her to the door of the convenience store. She hesitated, straightened her bangs on her forehead with her hands, and approached the convenience store.

As soon as he opened the door and walked in, he bumped into Gao Yang head-on.

She was startled: "Ah!"

Gao Yang also mustered up the courage to decide to make a comeback.When he saw the other person's face, he was surprised at first, and then he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Xiaosi?"

The girl is Gao Yang's classmate, Wan Sisi, who is introverted and shy. Everyone calls her Xiaosi.

Wan Sisi was in a state of confusion. She tightly grasped the one-shoulder schoolbag under her arm and began to perform stiffly and nervously: "Hi, hi... What a coincidence, you are here too? I... just took the bus and passed the station. , and then I happened to be a little hungry again, and then I wanted to buy snacks..."

"Are you following me?" Gao Yang said bluntly.

Wan Sisi suddenly blushed from her neck to the back of her ears: "I, I, that..."

Gao Yang looked around, and the cashier and customers looked over curiously.

It was indeed a bit strange for the two of them to be blocked at the door. Gao Yang grabbed Wan Sisi's hand and took her to the corner of the convenience store, sat down side by side against the glass display window, and then bought some food and drinks.

A minute later, Wan Sisi took a sip of instant coffee, slowly becoming less nervous and even a little excited.She lowered her head and murmured in a low voice: "He held my hand and invited me to drink coffee..."

"What did you say?"

"Ah, nothing!" Wan Sisi raised her head in panic: "Thank you for the coffee."

Gao Yang took a bite of the hot dog: "Tell me, why are you following me?"

Wan Sisi lowered her head again and her voice became softer: "Gao Yang... you must be very sad about Li Weiwei, right?"

Gao Yang was slightly stunned and said nothing.

"It feels like you have become a different person recently. You don't talk to your classmates much. You just stay alone every day." Wan Sisi said with concern in her tone.

"Have it?"

Gao Yang was very grateful: Thank you for your reminder. It seems that I will try my best to maintain my original social circle in the future, otherwise it will be easy for me to show my mistakes.

"People cannot be resurrected. No one wants something like this to happen..." Wan Sisi glanced at Gao Yang cautiously, "Don't get into trouble. If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me."

Gao Yang stopped eating and looked at Wan Sisi carefully: medium-short hair, side bangs, oval face, clean skin, slim body, big eyes, always blinking shyly and nervously, like a timid deer.

Wan Sisi always speaks softly and seems to have a little inferiority complex, and she doesn't dare to look into other people's eyes. She is a soft girl that everyone likes to "bully".

There are actually many boys who like her, but she doesn't realize it.

On weekdays, Gao Yang has a good relationship with Wan Sisi. Wan Sisi is the English class representative. He occasionally asks Wan Sisi some English questions.

Since Li Weiwei's death, Gao Yang has hardly spoken to her, no wonder she cares.

Wan Sisi's face turned red again when Gao Yang looked at her directly. She looked away restrainedly, "I'm sorry... those words just now were treated as if I didn't say them..."

"Thank you." Gao Yang smiled gratefully, "I didn't expect you to care about me so much."

"No! I don't care!" Wan Sisi denied it, but her expression betrayed her, "We are all classmates, as we should!" "Don't worry, I didn't get into trouble, I'll just adjust in a few days." Gao Yang said.

The two chatted for a while about life, college entrance examination applications, etc., until the hot drinks on the table were all gone and the snacks were all gone.

Wan Sisi took the initiative to get up and throw away the trash. She looked around and secretly hid the disposable paper cup of instant coffee in her pocket without anyone noticing, with a happy face on her face.

None of this escaped Gao Yang's eyes.

Wan Sisi, is she secretly in love with herself?
Then Gao Yang thought of Li Weiwei who almost killed him on the night of his birthday, and maybe Wan Sisi was the same: one second he said he liked you, and the next second he turned into a terrible angry beast and ate you alive.

Gao Yang had mixed feelings.

The two broke up after walking out of the convenience store. Gao Yang didn't turn on the system again until Wan Sisi's happy figure disappeared around the corner of the street.

The increase in luck points did not double, so it seemed that Wan Sisi was indeed not in danger.

After the interlude, Gao Yang continued to walk forward. Within 2 minutes, he stopped again.

No...why does it feel like someone is still following me?

Speaking of which, I have become a lot sharper, probably because of the increase in "mental power". It seems that the increase in attribute values ​​is really useful.

Gao Yang suddenly quickened his pace, turned to the next intersection, quickly threw away his schoolbag, ducked behind the vending machine, and held his breath.

Seven or eight seconds later, a figure trotted out. He immediately noticed the schoolbag at his feet. Just as he was about to lean over to pick it up, Gao Yang jumped out: "Wang Zikai?!"

Wang Zikai was startled, "Ah——"

"Are you following me?"

Wang Zikai chuckled: "Awesome, brother, I hid it so well, but you discovered it!"

"Didn't I tell you to stay at home and practice hard?" Gao Yang hated the iron, and his brain ached again: Brother, if you want to die like this, I can't protect you even if I want to.

Wang Zikai cried sadly: "This practice is so fucking boring, I really can't stand it!"

"How can you become stronger if you don't practice?"

"Can't you kill monsters? Or do something else...can you really become stronger by meditating every day? Why do I feel like my eggs are useless!"

Of course not.

But if you don't become a monster, you can at least survive.

Gao Yang sighed: "Your physique is very special. It grows slower than us. Once you master it, you will be stronger than us. You have to be patient. As the saying goes, when heaven is about to give a great task to a person, he must first suffer. The mind and will strain the muscles and bones, starve the body and skin, and deplete the body..."

"I understand the truth." Wang Zikai said aggrievedly: "But it's really boring!"

Gao Yang was silent.

When Wang Zikai saw Gao Yang's downcast face, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother, brother, don't be angry. Isn't it okay for me to go back and continue practicing?"

"Do not talk."

"What's wrong?" Wang Zikai lowered his voice, looked around, and became excited.

"We...were being followed."

Gao Yang is going crazy.

Is this over yet? !
