The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 257 Tide Rules
"Yes, this is the Scarlet Tide in the eyes of ordinary humans."

Suzaku, who was driving, looked forward. Under the fluffy air bangs, an unexplainable glimmer flashed in his brown eyes: "The scarlet tide in the eyes of the awakened is a completely different matter."

Gao Yang moved his sitting posture slightly and cheered up. He knew that the knowledge point was coming.

"The scarlet tide occurs once every ten years. No one knows how many times it has appeared and how many more times it will appear."

"It lasts for seven days. Starting from the first day at night, the moon will become huge and scarlet. Do you understand the blood moon?"

"Understood." Gao Yang nodded: This is very common in games and film and television works.

"On the ground of all the isolated islands, there will be a thick layer of blood mist, almost submerged to people's knees. Before dawn, this blood mist will slowly recede, just like the rising and falling tide."

"Scarlet Tide, this name is so appropriate." Gao Yang had already imagined that scene in his mind, and I have to say that it was both beautiful and weird.

Suzaku nodded and asked with a smile, "Do you know where these tidal-like blood mist come from?"

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment and immediately guessed the answer, "The Door to the End."

"Yes." Suzaku nodded.

Gao Yang was secretly surprised: Sure enough, everything has something to do with this door.

"These blood mist overflows from the Gate of Ending. They do not follow the rules of physics and spread quickly and indiscriminately to all the isolated islands in the mist world. No matter where you go, regardless of the terrain, there is half a meter of blood under your feet. fog."

Just as Gao Yang was about to speak, he was interrupted by Suzaku: "I know you want to ask where the Door to the End is, but this can only be told by the president. Anyway, as long as you know, the blood mist ran out from behind the door. And no one can stop their 'ebb' and 'ebb'."

Gao Yang asked again: "Is this blood mist dangerous?"

"There is no danger." Suzaku said: "At least for now, it seems that there is no direct harm to us awakened ones. However, it is generally believed that the real function of the blood mist is to allow the beasts to distinguish who is the awakened one at the first time."

Gao Yang nodded silently, digesting the existing information.

Suzaku stepped on the brakes and stopped at an intersection in front of a red light: "During the seven days of the Scarlet Tide, day and night are completely different. During the day, everything runs as normal. As soon as it gets dark, the blood moon will appear, and a few hours later the blood mist will follow. Arrive. All the lost ones and ordinary humans will fall asleep, leaving only the awakened ones and other high-level beasts."

"Then, Cang Dao's binding force will fail. Awakened ones, don't expect to pretend to be asleep. High-level beasts can tell whether you are an ordinary person or an awakened person at a glance."

"Then," Suzaku stepped on the accelerator and the car started again, "the hunting game begins."

"Are we prey?" Gao Yang asked subconsciously, but in an instant he understood that the question itself was the answer.

"Yes." Suzaku's eyes were slightly sharp: "Greedy beasts, angry beasts, and delusional beasts will wander around at night. If they encounter an awakened person, they will kill them immediately."

"Where are the living and dead animals?" Gao Yang asked.

"I don't know, maybe I'm involved, maybe I'm not."

Suzaku tilted his shoulders: "According to the information we currently have, there is a high probability that the living and dead beasts did not participate in the Scarlet Tide, and have not even appeared head-on."

"If that's the case, how come we know the existence of these two beasts?" Gao Yang was not arguing, he had been curious about this for a long time.

"Because we have indirect evidence to prove the existence of living and dead beasts. This involves top secrets." Suzaku smiled evilly: "If you want to know, just ask the president."

Gao Yang shut up obediently and didn't ask any more questions.

After a moment of silence, Gao Yang said: "If the scarlet tide is just what you said, it doesn't seem to be very scary."

The corners of Suzaku's slightly drooped lips curled up into an indifferent smile: "It's nothing to be afraid of. Eight years ago, the three major organizations were not as strong as they are today. The Awakeneds also survived the Scarlet Tide safely, with a total death toll of just over 40."

"Talent?" Gao Yang was quite surprised: There are more than 40, which is equivalent to one-fifth of all awakened people!
"Well, half of them are unorganized people who have just awakened and haven't had time to join a formal organization." Suzaku paused: "The other half is their own choice."

"What do you mean?" Gao Yang was aroused by these words.

Suzaku did not look at Gao Yang and drove the car attentively: "Although the angry beasts have a certain level of IQ and emotion, they do not know how to use tactics. But the greedy beasts are different. Both parasites and hosts have very high IQs, and Extremely eager for the awakened person's body, they will do anything to lure the awakened person to appear."

Gao Yang frowned, as if he understood a little bit. "Use an analogy and you will understand." Suzaku flipped up the air bangs that blocked his vision with one hand: "Suppose your neighbor is a greedy beast. He has a good relationship with your family and often visits your house."

"This week when the scarlet tide came, you disappeared. And your neighbor, the awakened beast, analyzed it based on past experience and memory. Is there any reason to suspect that you may be an awakened one and have found a place to hide. "

"There is every reason to doubt." Gao Yang answered.

"So, if it wanted to lure you out, what would it do?"

Gao Yang's heart sank: "My... family."

"Correct."

Suzaku's expression turned serious: "Remember, this week, the rules of Cangdao are invalid. Even if your family is lost, greedy beasts can actively harm their own kind, just to attract you to appear. At this time, you can't save it. your family?"

Gao Yang didn't answer, but his murderous eyes already gave the answer: No one can harm my family!
Suzaku sighed: "Theoretically, as long as the awakened person finds a place to hide, without contacting anyone, and hides for a week, he will most likely be safe. If he still has an organization, he can hide with the people in the organization, and the safety factor will be greater high."

"The premise is that he will never care about his relatives and friends." Gao Yang's voice was a little difficult.

"Yes." Suzaku shrugged: "Most awakened people can do it, because they never think that the lost are their family and friends."

"I can't do it." Gao Yang confessed.

"Yes, there are many people like you." Suzaku said, "So these awakened people must jump in even though they know it is a trap."

Suzaku thought of something else: "By the way, do you still remember the corpse No. 21 that almost killed you?"

"Yes." Gao Yang nodded, not only did he remember it, he was deeply impressed.

"During the last Scarlet Tide, he fell into the greedy beast's trap. He was hiding in the base at the time, but his cell phone was not turned off. Two days later, he received a distress call from his sister."

Suzaku's tone was somewhat sympathetic: "He and his sister depended on each other for life and had a very good relationship. No. 21 could not see his sister in danger no matter what, so he decided to save her."

"Our union does not support or oppose this kind of behavior, and we will not send anyone to accompany him, because we cannot risk other people's lives."

"I understand." Gao Yang nodded.

"In the end, No. 21 went to save his sister and was killed." Suzaku's voice became colder.

"Killed by what beast?"

"Greedy Beast." A glimmer of light flashed in Suzaku's eyes: "His sister is Greedy Beast, and he was killed by her sister."

Gao Yang was shocked and couldn't accept this ending for a while.

"There is still a sequel to this matter." Suzaku said: "The sister of No. 21 successfully hosted her brother and became No. 21. He returned to the base, but was killed by his teammate in the same group, the blue dolphin with the [Mind Reader]. Listen to After hearing the voice in its heart, Qinglong was immediately notified privately, and then it was executed."

Suzaku's eyes were cold: "This matter is very serious. If the blue dolphin hadn't accidentally hit us, our hiding place would probably have been exposed. Once exposed, the darkest among the delusional beasts would come for us, and the consequences would be unimaginable."

"The Darkest One," Gao Yang took a breath, "How strong is he?"

"I have never met one. The president once had a brief confrontation with a delusional beast. He said," Suzaku paused, and his voice lowered subconsciously, "the power of a delusional beast is superior to that of a ghost."

Gao Yang's heart sank, he was even more powerful than a ghost.

Measured by the system's numerical value, the "hanging income" is more than 5000 times.

Gao Yang felt a little desperate and discouraged for a moment: in this foggy world, he was really too weak and powerless.

Gao Yang quickly stopped his sentimental emotions from amplifying and looked sideways at Suzaku.

"Sister Xia, I have another question."
