The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 220
"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Xia Li took back his hand and smiled mischievously: "I just dissected a corpse and didn't have time to wash my hands."

"Ah?" Gao Yang was startled.

"The good news is, I wore gloves."

"Oh." Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

"The bad news is, the gloves came off partway through."

"what?"

"The good news is, the body I dissected was just a small animal."

"Oh."

"The bad news is, this little animal is a venomous beast."

"what?"

"The good news is, I just made it all up."

"Oh."

Xia Li walked in front, her high heels clicking.

Gao Yang followed behind, thinking that this woman is not simple. In just a few rounds, she let herself ride a roller coaster and firmly took the initiative in speaking.

Xia Li pointed at the morgues on both sides: "The corpses here are all ordinary corpses, and the corpses of the union are stored in the innermost part."

Gao Yang looked around, checking the location of the cameras and the layout of the morgue.

Soon, Xia Li took Gao Yang to the room at the end. There was a thick iron door. After entering the password, the iron door opened automatically.

Inside the iron door is a rectangular morgue, with a four-meter-wide open space in the middle and special corpse refrigerated cabinets on both sides. Each cabinet has a number.

The room was brightly lit, but it still felt eerie.

Xia Li turned around, yawned unconsciously, and slowly explained the situation: "The last time I came here was three days ago. After the members of Group 4 and Group 5 died, the bodies were brought over and I interrogated them personally. "

"I came here again tonight and found that the bodies were stolen." Xia Li glanced at the body freezer on the left: "A total of 12 bodies were stolen, all of which were members of the Qilin Union who sacrificed their lives over the years."

"Stealing time?" Gao Yang asked.

"The time of the theft was probably between three o'clock and 03:30 yesterday morning. The surveillance was destroyed in advance, and the nearby guards did not notice it. The other party should have directly entered the password. Several people knew the password, so it is not surprising that it would be leaked. The other party's hands and feet It’s very quick and leaves no trace.”

"We can't rule out that it's a domestic thief." Gao Yang said.

"Well, I can't rule it out. But I don't understand the purpose of the body thief. These corpses have all been used for 24 hours and are of no use in the hands of others. Ah, except for necrophilia."

Gao Yang's face stiffened slightly.

"Just kidding." Xia Li smiled slyly: "Anyway, that's the situation."

"You just mentioned... interrogating the corpse?" Gao Yang grasped the key point.

Xia Li nodded, with a sparse and ordinary look on his face: "I can interrogate the corpses, and I can make them talk within 24 hours."

No wonder the sacrificed comrade was immediately sent to the morgue of the Suzaku branch. It turned out to be for interrogation.

Gao Yang hesitated again and again, but finally plucked up the courage to ask: "Elder Suzaku, can you also interrogate Xiangdie?"

"Hey." Xia Li looked at Gao Yang in slight surprise: "How do you know my identity?"

"Guess."

Gao Yang rolled his eyes inwardly: I can think of it with my toes!
You are a woman guarding the entire morgue without any panic, and I can't copy your talent. This is also called the Suzaku branch. If you weren't Elder Suzaku, I would stand on my head and fly.

"Don't tell me." Suzaku half-covered his mouth and let out a long yawn, "You should call me Xia Li, no, Sister Xia."

"Okay, Sister Xia."

"What did you ask just now? Yes, Xiangdie, her body is seriously damaged, but I still have a way to interrogate her."

Xia Li put his hands in his pockets and shrugged, "It took some effort to gain 20 seconds of interrogation time, and confirmed her identity as the mole, but other useful information was not revealed."

"What about the others?" Gao Yang thought of Xi Ran, Hei Que, Lao Qiao, Li An, and Xiu Yi.

"Their corpses are much intact, and the interrogation time can last about one minute." Xia Li glanced at Gao Yang's expression and saw through his mind.

"The interrogation can only be conducted once, and strictly speaking they are not considered alive, and can only be interrogated with simple questions and answers."

Xia Li shrugged: "Don't think about what you have and what you don't have. The deceased is gone, so I'm sorry." Gao Yang nodded bitterly in his heart.

It seems that Elder Suzaku is quite easy to talk to. He has come here to see if he can get out any useful information.

"Zhu...Sister Xia, I have a question I would like to ask." Gao Yang got straight to the point.

"Ask." Xia Li looked indifferent.

"Can the dead be resurrected?"

"Okay." Xia Li said.

"Can you be more specific?" Gao Yang tried to ask.

Xia Li raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "You are now a quasi-elder, so it's okay to tell you, but I have conditions."

"What conditions?"

"Let's talk about it later, you can definitely do it."

"it is good."

Xia Li held out a finger: "As far as I know, there are two types of real resurrection from the dead. One is the ability of the ghost group. The brain and heart are not damaged. It can be resurrected once in 24 hours. Note, it is once. If you die again, you cannot be resurrected.”

It seems that Liu Qingqing's information is accurate.

"What about the second one?" Gao Yang became curious.

"The second type." Xia Li smiled, "That's my talent."

Gao Yang didn't dare to ask her what her talent was. This was no longer a matter of politeness, it was already an organizational secret.

"I want to be more powerful. I can resurrect people no matter how long they have been dead. Of course, the premise is that the head and heart of the deceased are not seriously damaged, and they can only be resurrected once."

"Then why not..." Gao Yang stopped talking.

"I know what you want to ask." Suzaku interrupted Gao Yang: "Why don't I resurrect my sacrificed companions?"

Gao Yang didn't speak.

There was a hint of coldness in Suzaku's eyes: "Everything has a price. The price of bringing the dead back to life is very expensive. I will not use it unless it is a last resort."

Gao Yang pondered.

I see, that's why the people who died in the Kirin Union will not be buried, but stored in the morgue, because no one can tell whether they will choose to be resurrected in the future.

However, this resurrection must come at a huge, heavy or even terrible price, so Suzaku will not use it unless absolutely necessary.

Having said that, what does this "last resort" mean?
When the civil war broke out?When the scarlet tide comes?Or is it when the door to the end is opened?
Immediately, Gao Yang thought of another "BUG".

The talents of dead Awakeners will return to the Talent Temple.

If an awakened person dies, his talent returns to the temple and is "realized" by a new awakened person.

Many years later, Elder Suzaku resurrected the deceased. Will the resurrected person still possess the talents he had during his lifetime?
Perhaps, this also involves part of the "expensive price".

Gao Yang had wild thoughts for a moment, and at the same time he felt shuddering.

The Twelve Zodiac Signs, the Qilin Union, the Baichuan Group, the Ghost Group, the Cang Mother Sect... none of these forces are fuel-efficient, and they all have terrible trump cards.

Not to mention the unpredictable beasts, living beasts and dead beasts.

Seeing Gao Yang's silence, Xia Li blinked with a smile but not a smile: "Do you still want to know the details? I can also tell you."

Gao Yang remained silent.

Xia Li retracted his smile and said in a more serious tone: "But you have to know that every secret comes with risks. I'm afraid you will live by your fate."

"Understood, you don't need to tell me the rest."

Gao Yang slandered: Elder Zhuque, you have already said this, and if I want to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it, I am really seeking death.

"Okay, it's your turn."

Xia Li put his hands in his pockets and tilted his head with a smile.

Gao Yang almost forgot that she still had conditions.
