The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 433 Winery No. 7

"Go slowly on the road to hell. I promise you, the philanthropist will come to accompany you soon." Gao Yang pulled the trigger.

"Chirp—"

A short, dull gunshot rang out, and Richard fell silently, with a pool of blood on the wall behind him.

Nana stood aside, her lips slightly parted and her eyes wide open.

Gao Yang stood up, took out a tissue, wiped off the fingerprints on the pistol, and then put the pistol back into Richard's stiff hand.

In fact, even if Gao Yang didn't kill him, Richard would soon die from the hyena's contract curse just like Dick.

So, at least let him feel repentant for his sins before he died, and also alleviate some of the pain before his death.

Gao Yang stood up and found Nana still stunned on the spot, with a strange expression and some confusion: "Why, you haven't killed a lost beast before?"

"No, it's not..." Nana finally came back to her senses and looked at Gao Yang with bright eyes: "How did you come up with those words you just said? This is the feeling I dream of, elegance, so elegant!"

Gao Yang was stunned: "Which sentence?"

Chen Ying held her forehead helplessly: "It should be the line about Huang Quan. It sounds pretty good at first glance."

Gao Yang pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's very simple, abandon the skills and inject feelings."

Nana seemed to understand but was shocked: "You, can you teach me?"

"It depends on your next performance."

……

Gao Yang, Chen Ying and Nana quickly left from the back door of the tavern and came to the dark, cramped alley filled with garbage.

Under the shadow of the corner of the alley, Manshe was wearing a gray trench coat and a plaid detective hat. His thin profile revealed a coldness that kept strangers away from him, quite like a private detective who had retired from the army.

He leaned against a telephone pole, playing with the throwing knife in his hand.

"Is it done?" Manshe asked when she saw Gao Yang coming.

Gao Yang took out the note on which Richard wrote the address and handed it to Manshe: "Hyena has ordered leather shoes in this store. You can take Nana to investigate and we should be able to find clues."

"Leave it to me." Manshe took the note, took a look at it, and waved to Nana.

Nana rushed towards Manshe, jumped high while her body quickly shrunk, and accurately fell into Manshe's windbreaker pocket.

Manshe turned around and jumped, flying over the eaves and walls, and disappeared.

"What about us?" Chen Ying asked.

"Go back to the hotel and wait for news." Gao Yang said.

Half an hour later, Gao Yang and Chen Ying returned to the hotel and briefly explained what happened to Officer Huang and Qing Ling.

Then, Gao Yang, Officer Huang and Chen Ying reported the situation to their respective organizations.

After it was over, everyone had something to eat and went to sleep.

Gao Yang and Officer Huang shared a bed, and Qing Ling and Chen Ying shared a bed.

It was three o'clock in the morning and Manshe hadn't come back yet.

Gao Yang didn't really fall asleep, he just closed his eyes and rested his mind.

He opened his eyes and confirmed that Chen Ying had fallen asleep.

He quietly patted Officer Huang on the shoulder, and Officer Huang woke up alertly.

Gao Yang made a "shh" gesture, stretched out his hand, crossed the gap between the beds, and patted Qing Ling's shoulder on the other bed.

Qing Ling quickly opened her eyes, her eyes shining in the darkness.

Gao Yang made a "shh" gesture to signal the two of them to follow him. He gently came to the window and opened it.

Qing Ling and Officer Huang got up and came to Gao Yang silently.

Gao Yang stretched out his two hands, grabbed the arms of his two companions, took a deep breath, and activated [Teleport].

"call out--"

The three disappeared into the room.

Five seconds later, Gao Yang led Officer Huang and Qing Ling through three teleportations to reach the roof of the building from the hotel window.

The rooftop was quiet, the night breeze was gentle, and the city's night was blurry.

"What's going on? It's so mysterious." Officer Huang smiled and took out the cigarette case, flicked the lighter several times in the night wind, and then lit the cigarette.

Gao Yang was not in a hurry to speak, activated his six senses, and searched around the rooftop as much as possible to confirm that there was no one else, then he said: "I have a long-term plan that I want to discuss with you..."

"Let me guess." Officer Huang stretched out his hand to stop Gao Yang from continuing: "Do you want to start your own business?"

Gao Yang was stunned and smiled: "Is it so obvious? Could it be that I wrote this on my face?"

"Haha, not really. The main reason is that I understand you so well. As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you are going to do." Officer Huang punched Gao Yang lightly on the shoulder.

Gao Yang said nothing, waiting for Officer Huang to express his position.

"Gao Yang, you should have taken this step a long time ago." Officer Huang's eyes were firm: "I have been waiting."

"Qing Ling, where are you?" Gao Yang looked at Qing Ling.

Qing Ling did not answer directly and said in a cold voice: "I can't learn much from Dou Hu. Except for his sword, I have no nostalgia."

Gao Yang couldn't help laughing: You are sincere.

"Haha, Qing Ling, Teacher Douhu will be so sad when he hears this from you." Officer Huang joked, and then looked at Gao Yang: "Why are you proposing this plan now?"

"I wasn't strong enough at the beginning and didn't know much about the foggy world, so I wanted to grow up first." Gao Yang looked at Officer Huang and Qing Ling:
"In fact, until now, I still feel that I am not strong enough. However, I cannot wait any longer. I am certain that the final paths of the three major organizations are different. When the last piece of the guardian rune circuit is found, the three major organizations will inevitably have a battle." "The dragon can sacrifice everything for its own ideals, and naturally it can also sacrifice the twelve zodiac animals; Qilin is comprehensive, but this person is unfathomable and hides something. I have not seen his ambition so far; Mr. Li is also an old fox, far from She behaved so kindly. None of these three organizations is the best destination for us," Gao Yang said.

"Oh, we basically agree." Officer Huang flicked the ashes from his cigarette.

Qing Ling nodded.

Gao Yang continued: "The only people I can trust now are you two and Wang Zikai. Unfortunately, he is a beast, and I don't know what will happen in the future. As for Pang Jun, we have to observe it again."

"What do you need from us?" Officer Huang asked directly.

"Be prepared first. I won't take this step unless it is absolutely necessary." Gao Yang smiled bitterly: offending the Zodiac and Qilin Union is no joke.

"You mean to start retaining like-minded people now?" Officer Huang asked.

"Yes, remember, it's better to lack than to waste." Gao Yang said.

"Okay, I'll tell you the criteria for selecting companions. Do you think it's okay?"

Officer Huang touched his chin and thought for a moment. He stretched out a finger and said, "First, do not kill innocent people indiscriminately and do not actively provoke wars, whether against humans or animals."

"Second, survival is the goal and unity and equality are the premise. You cannot betray, use, deceive, or sacrifice your companions as a means of victory and survival."

"Third, opening the door to the end is just a means, not an end."

In case Qing Ling didn’t understand, Officer Huang explained with a smile: “Although we all believe that opening the door is the only way to survive, if it turns out that not opening the door is more beneficial to everyone’s survival than opening the door, we will not open the door. Everything we do is to survive, not to cling to an illusory ultimate goal.”

"I have no objection."

Qing Ling became stronger all the way so that he could protect his sister and survive.She was interested in what was behind the Gate of the End, but not very much.

"I agree." Gao Yang nodded: Although he is very interested in the world behind the door, protecting his companions and family is the most important thing, and everything can be compromised for this matter.

"Okay." Officer Huang smiled: "Then we will use this standard to pay attention to potential companions."

Gao Yang nodded: "I hope we don't have to go to this point, but if things go against our expectations, we will become independent."

"Yeah." Officer Huang nodded.

Qing Ling nodded slightly.

Officer Huang scratched the side of his face with the hand holding the cigarette: "As for the twelve zodiac signs, besides Pang Jun, I think the Tengu, the Diva, and the Monkey have the possibility to fight for it. The Dead Pig, the White Rabbit, the Cute Sheep, and the Dou Tiger would never be able to.”

"Well, as for the Qilin Union, my men should be able to take them away. It should be difficult for others." Gao Yang was not optimistic either.

"Where is the Baichuan Group?" Qing Ling asked.

"Exude your charm, and that Aiman ​​might be willing to come over." Officer Huang made a joke.

Qing Ling was too lazy to answer and didn't think it was funny.

"Chen Ying is a good companion." Gao Yang said with some regret: "What a pity, she is very loyal to Mr. Li, so it is not easy to dig this corner."

"By the way." Officer Huang suddenly thought of something, "Can you trust that Man She in your team?"

"Although he has a bad face and bad mouth, he is quite reliable." Gao Yang looked at Officer Huang: "What, do you think there is something wrong with him?"

"How should I put it? I feel like this guy is a bit weird." Officer Huang smiled half-heartedly: "When I came here before, I found him secretly cutting off his little finger and throwing it into the trash can."

Gao Yang frowned: "His [Gecko] talent is that broken limbs can regrow. But what are you doing if you cut off your little finger for no reason?"

"Two possibilities." Officer Huang's eyes darkened: "One, he is a masochist. Two, he is leaving clues to the enemy, and he betrayed us."

"The second possibility is unlikely." Gao Yang had tested Man She's lie before, and the five groups were all friends of life and death along the way.

"I don't mean to sow discord." Officer Huang sighed: "In short, be careful and sail the boat for ten thousand years."

"Understood, I'll keep an eye out."

As soon as Gao Yang finished speaking, his phone rang, and it was an encrypted text message from Nana.

Gao Yang raised his head and smiled faintly: "Manshe has found the hyena's hiding place."

……

At four o'clock in the morning, a group of people "borrowed" a car on the roadside and drove to District 4.

Along the way, everyone learned what happened.

Manshe found the clothing store and easily got the list of customers who had customized leather shoes in the past two years. After a little filtering based on the style and size of the shoes, she found the philanthropist - Hyena.

The poor old tailor who was caught and interrogated by Man She in the middle of the night was so frightened that he confessed everything without revealing anything.

It is said that this philanthropist is very mysterious. He is a middle-aged man who only came once. Wearing a mask, he asked a tailor to measure his body size, not only shoes, but also suits, trousers, shirts, vests, tuxedos, dresses, and top hats. , umbrellas, etc., are all custom-made here. On the surface, he is polite and generous, and the tailor thinks he is a kind person.

After that, the philanthropist would send two men in black dressed as bodyguards to the store at the appointed time to pick up clothes and shoes.

Once, due to some personal matters, the old tailor failed to complete a dress as per the agreed time. Two bodyguards pointed a gun at his head and had to work overtime on the spot to make the dress.

That day, the two bodyguards chatted for three hours. During their conversation, they accidentally revealed the philanthropist's address.

The old tailor remembers that it was a place called Winery No. 7.

Chen Ying opened the map and quickly found Winery No. 7. It was in District 4 of City A. It seemed that this place was not particularly hidden, but existed openly.

District 4 is a suburb with many farms, where many wealthy people will build luxurious private country villas.

A group of people sat in the car and headed to their destination.

Gao Yang was in a bad mood. Although it was just a coincidence, as the "Seven Shadows", he actually used the same number as the "No. 7 Winery" built by this scum hyena.

What a bad luck, I’m here to kill you now.
