The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 704 Fighting for Survival
Qinglong thought for a moment and nodded: "This makes everything make sense. Luqi is indeed dead. Today, Luqi is already another king of lodgers. However, he retains Luqi's talent and even his memory. "

Suzaku hurriedly took over the words, "The two lodger kings are under orders from the Cang Mother Cult. Their current task is to kill the Divine Heir, and they seem to be quite anxious."

Suzaku looked at Qinglong, "Why do you think they are so anxious?"

Qinglong touched the beard on his chin and tried to deduce: "The Cangmu Sect claims that it has a ticket to escape the doomsday. I think the Cangmu Sect may not really have a ticket, but only knows the information related to the ticket, relying on half-truth A set of half-false rhetoric to flatter the people below, but the appearance of Shen Si has obviously hindered and threatened the Cang Mother Sect's plan."

"Continue." Suzaku smiled, waiting for Qinglong to express his thoughts.

Qinglong thought for a moment, his eyes trembling slightly: "Two possibilities. One, Qiying's identity as a divine heir is the biggest obstacle that prevents the Cang Mother Sect from getting the ticket, and must be killed."

"Second, the Cang Mother Sect has no intention of getting the ticket. They have a conspiracy. The existence of the Divine Heir may be the key to the ticket. If this matter is known to the world, the Cang Mother Sect will no longer be able to lure believers to work for themselves. .”

"Which one do you think is more likely?" Suzaku continued to ask.

Qinglong said without hesitation: "I think the second possibility is higher."

"why?"

"If the Cangmu Cult's purpose is to take believers on a boat to escape the end of the world, and the Divine Successor's purpose is to tear up the ticket or blow up the ship, then it is reasonable for the Cangmu Cult to destroy the Divine Successor."

"But the current Seven Shadows don't seem to want to blow up the ship." Suzaku said.

"Yes, although Qiying is our enemy, his goal is to escape from the foggy world. Survival is our common goal. Therefore, why is the Cang Mother Sect who wants to board the ship so persistent in killing those who also want to board the ship? Divine heir? This is very contradictory."

——Bravo Qinglong!

"I think so too." Suzaku didn't care so much. She took out a lady's cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.

"If Dr. Jia's chessboard theory is true, then I think the Cang Mother Sect may not be on the side of humans and Cang Dao, but on the side of the mist."

"It pretends to be a savior, bewitching and winning over all useful people, including awakened people, beasts, half-humans, and even ghosts, in order to achieve its true purpose, which may be to destroy the world, help the mist win the war, or some other conspiracy .”

"Now, both the divine heir and Curse Abyss in the beast's prophecy have appeared. Curse Abyss has died, leaving only the divine heir. The Cang Mother Cult immediately sent people to assassinate the divine heir. Why?"

"Because the divine heir is the ticket, at least one of the keys to boarding the ship. According to us, the divine heir may be the key to the door to the end, or part of the key."

Qinglong's eyes were stunned, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, but he felt it was very reasonable: Qiying is too special, and his specialness is no less than that of President Qilin... no, even more.

"Elder Yanliang." Suzaku stared at the old man's crooked mask with flickering eyes, and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray: "If Qiying is really one of the keys to opening the door, we can't kill him, we can only cooperate."

The atmosphere fell into a subtle silence.

Soon, Yan Liang spoke in a low voice: "Collecting the twelve runes is the primary task. Killing the Divine Heir is only the second task. Qilin has already said this."

"Yes." Suzaku said, "But we can't ignore the special identity of Shensi. What if he is really..."

"No." Yan Liang interrupted with great certainty: "Qiying is not the key to opening the door, nor is it the savior of mankind. This is just your wishful thinking."

"Elder Yanliang, aren't we all just guessing before the truth comes out?" Suzaku was unyielding.

"Haha." Elder Yanliang smiled: "In that case, let me tell you two one more thing." Qinglong and Suzaku looked at the old man at the same time.

"The person who discovered the miraculous runes and the Gate of the End," Yan Liang paused for two seconds, "is me."

Qinglong and Suzaku were both shocked.

About ten seconds passed before Suzaku said with hesitation: "...Is it you?"

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Qilin in a few days." Yan Liangfeng Qingyun said calmly: "I couldn't be 100% sure before. Now as more and more things come to light, I can tell you clearly that human beings There are only two roads under your feet."

"Article [-]: Collect the twelve runes and let Qilin open the door. Humanity will win."

"Principle [-]: Any other way, humans lose."

Silence, a long silence.

"Haha, you two, I think I have made it clear enough." Yan Liang laughed hoarsely: "Those who believe in me and Qilin, stay. Those who don't believe, leave."

Still silent.

"Don't worry, Qilin is unconscious. Qinglong can testify about this." Yan Liang showed off his cards, "With your abilities, if you force them to leave, I, an old man, will definitely not be able to stop you."

"Qinglong, Suzaku, now is your last chance to make a choice. You can leave, you can go to the Twelve Zodiacs, the Baichuan Group, the Nine Sis, or even the Cangmu Cult."

Yan Liang said: "But please remember, if you choose to stay today, you must not have any wavering or doubt in the future, otherwise, Qilin will never show mercy."

Qinglong sat calmly, his expression as usual, completely taking Yan Liang's words as a fart.

From beginning to end, he never doubted Qilin for even a second, let alone wavered.

He knew very well that these words were meant for Suzaku.

Suzaku did not stand up. She clenched her fist slightly. After half a minute, she raised her head again and met the old but sharp eyes under Yan Liang's mask: "I'll stay."

"That's great." Yan Liang expressed his sincere relief. He stood up slowly, "That's the end of the testing on the negotiating table. Next, we have to reveal the real guy under the table."

"Two elders, please stay alert. Without you, Qilin and I can't win, and neither can humans."

Yan Liang clasped his hands behind his back and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window. The sunshine outside was bright, cutting him into a thin silhouette. He had no resemblance to Qilin in appearance.

But for some reason, at this moment, Qinglong felt some familiar lofty will on his back.

"Starting today." Yan Liang announced calmly: "Qilin Union will start a full-scale war."

Qinglong stood up, raised his right hand, and solemnly pressed the unicorn brooch on his chest: "Fight for survival!"

Three seconds later, Suzaku stood up and saluted Yan Liang's back in the same way: "Fight for survival."
