The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 741 Decent
North Sui, Dolphin Hotel.

The sky rarely cleared up in the morning, but the snow had not melted, and the entire bay town was still silvery white.

The trams are ringing, there are few pedestrians on the streets, and time seems to slow down here.

Crow Shark took the official waterway, followed the cruise ship to the island country, and swam to the coast of Beisui, arriving an hour earlier than Qilin and Suzaku.

According to the instructions, he could not act without authorization because Gao Xinxin was not allowed to have someone protecting him so as not to alert the enemy.

He stood at the entrance of an alley diagonally opposite the Dolphin Hotel, wrapped in a clammy gray cloak covering his head. His feet were bare and red from the cold.

He was thin and slightly hunched, and his eyes were looking at his feet with a dull look, like a homeless boy who ran out of nowhere and had some brain problems and was about to freeze to death on the street.

Pedestrians passing by gave him sympathetic looks, and some even came up to ask him if he needed help, but Crow Shark couldn't speak the island's Mandarin and couldn't understand it. He looked like a wooden man.

Passers-by can only give up and leave with sighs.

Crow Shark shivered. At this moment, he missed the sea very much. The water was much gentler and freer than here, and there were friends to accompany him to swim and play.

Speaking of which, the sea in Beishui is really good. Although the area that can be explored is very small, it is completely different from the sea in Nurdiv.

If there is no fog, we can go to the real sea. I don’t know what is on the other side of the sea...

"Hey."

——Someone is talking, is he calling me?
Crow Shark looked up blankly. He first saw a pair of black square-toe shoes, then a pair of thin calves wearing white socks, then a dark plaid skirt, and then a camel-colored horn-buttoned coat on the chest. Slightly raised...

Crow Shark's gaze stopped.

No, Elder Zhuque said that it’s not polite to stare at other people’s breasts.

Crow Shark forced his eyes to move up and saw a wrapped cashmere scarf. Looking up further, there was a fair and pretty girl's face with soft twin tails. Her cheeks were a little red and her big, clear and watery eyes were exactly Gao's. Xinxin.

Gao Xinxin was holding a bulging paper bag: "The boss lady said you can't speak the island's Mandarin and you look like you're from the city."

Crow Shark was a little confused. The person he was tracking actually came to him.

——I was discovered!It shouldn't be, I was so low-key and didn't talk to anyone.

"There are shoes, socks, trousers and cotton-padded clothes inside, as well as bread and mineral water. Here, the bread must be eaten while it's hot." Gao Xinxin handed the paper bag to him: "If you continue to freeze, your body will not be able to bear it."

Gao Xinxin and the proprietress of the Dolphin Hotel had already noticed this poor homeless boy and were worried that he would not survive the night. After discussing it, they decided to provide him with some help within their capabilities.

Crow Shark took the bag blankly and took out the warm chocolate bread. He took a bite. It was fragrant, sweet and soft.

"Is it delicious?" Gao Xinxin asked with a smile.

Crow Shark nodded, remembering what Suzaku taught her, she should say thank you at this time.

He slowly raised his head: "Thank you..."

"brush--"

A figure flashed to the side of Crow Shark and punched him in the face. The boy spit out the bread in his mouth and flew several meters away and fell on the snow.

He opened his mouth and spat out the word "thank you" along with the half-chewed chocolate bread.

Wang Zikai was very gentle, and Crow Shark's face was only swollen for two days, so it wouldn't be a serious problem.

Gao Yang specifically told him not to kill anyone from the Suzaku group. This kid looked malnourished at first glance and couldn't resist being beaten. He only showed a little bit of skill.

"Wang Zikai?" Gao Xinxin was surprised, happy, and a little confused: "You, why are you here?"

"No time to explain! Get in the car quickly!" Wang Zikai grabbed Gao Xinxin.

"Huh? Again?!" Gao Xinxin always felt that this scene was a bit familiar.

Wang Zikai looked around and saw that there were no cars nearby. He picked up Gao Xinxin and carried him on his shoulders.

"Ah...what are you doing! Put me down..."

Wang Zikai rushed into the alley, jumped over the eaves and walked over the wall, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

……

10 minutes later, Dolphin Hotel.

Tengu flew over directly from the official channel, 10 minutes faster than Qilin, Qingling and others, in order to pick up Gao Xinxin faster - as soon as he received Gao Yang's note, he didn't even have time to ask Douhu for permission. , and set off immediately.

At this moment, Tengu was wearing a long black down jacket, black headphones around his neck, his hands in his pockets, lazily standing in front of the counter talking to the proprietress.

"You came to see Liu Shiying?" The landlady looked at the Tengu warily, "Who are you?"

"Friend." Tengu said.

"Friend?" The landlady looked him up and down again. He was pretty and handsome, but he matched Gao Xinxin very well: "Oh, I think he's his ex-boyfriend, right?"

"Eh?"

"Stop pretending, you kid. You hurt other girls a lot. Now you know you regret it, so you came here."

"Yes...ah." Tengu was in a hurry and had to cooperate with the acting: "Once, there was a true love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I waited until I lost it..."

"Okay, okay, go ahead and tell her this."

"Where is she?"

"I just went out, I should be wandering around, please wait..."

"brush--"

The Tengu flew out of the shop without saying a word.

The landlady was stunned, passed out, and fell on the lazy chair behind the counter.

……

Two 10 minutes later, the coast behind the Dolphin Hotel.

Qilin, Suzaku, and the three of them had been talking for a while. Crow Shark told Qilin that a blond boy suddenly appeared, punched him away, and took Gao Xinxin away.

Qilin looked at the gray sea and fell into deep thought.

"It was indeed Jiu Si who caused the train to get disconnected." Suzaku said, "They took away people one step ahead of us."

Qilin nodded, obviously understanding this.

"Go after me, maybe I haven't gone far yet." Suzaku said.

"Chase." Qilin said, looking at Crow Shark: "You take the water route."

Crow Shark was staring at Suzaku's chest, as if he wanted to say something.

"Crow Shark?" Suzaku thought he was a little abnormal.Crow Shark finally raised his head and looked at Suzaku.

"Did you hear that? You take the waterway." Suzaku said, "Go to the D area station immediately to see if you can intercept them. Remember, if you find Jiu Si, don't get too close. You are no match. Wait for us to come."

The crow shark still didn't move.

"Go quickly!" Suzaku shouted.

The crow shark then turned around, ran towards the sea, and quickly disappeared.

"Let's go."

Qilin turned around and Suzaku followed.

The two took the nearest tram and returned to Area D.

Along the way, Qilin remained silent, while Suzaku was considering various possibilities: "It's probably too late to get to the tram station in Area D, but there are only waterways and airports to return to Licheng. I feel that they will take Gao Xinxin back to Licheng, which will allow Qinglong to Go block it with Yanliang."

After saying that, Suzaku sighed again: "But it's difficult. They have Nana who can disguise themselves."

"Gao Xinxin can't change his face." Qilin said.

"why?"

"Nana didn't come for this operation." Qilin was determined.

"how do you know?"

Qilin smiled lightly: "Because Nana was with Gao Yang, she was almost killed by Yan Liang."

Suzaku was shocked: It was close, that means it didn't succeed.

"Yan Liang and Qing Long didn't come, so they went to deal with Jiu Si?" Suzaku's face remained calm.

Qilin nodded and said no more.

He leaned back and raised his head slightly, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed.

Suzaku stopped talking.

The two of them just sat in the swaying tram, the scenery outside the window changing, the clean sunlight passing over their faces from time to time, and time seemed to slow down.

Half an hour passed quickly, and we would reach the terminal in a few minutes.

At this time, Qilin opened his eyes and said in a calm voice: "Looking back on the whole thing, it was such a coincidence. As soon as you found Gao Xinxin, they came to pick her up and even got on the same tram with us."

"Yes." Suzaku felt a little guilty.

Qilin sighed: "Suzaku, why don't you leave?"

"What?" Suzaku didn't respond.

"Yan Liang and I both gave you a chance, and you could leave." Qilin was very sorry, "But you stayed, time and time again."

Suzaku was silent.

"You chose to stay and your heart turned to Jiu Si. Why?"

Suzaku was still silent.

"You knew you were being watched by Yan Liang, right? So you acted for me, but at the same time, you reminded Jiu Si and asked them to take Gao Xinxin away first," Qilin said.

Suzaku remained silent.

"Suzaku, Gao Xinxin is actually not as important as you think." Qilin smiled bitterly, "Gao Yang will sacrifice himself for Gao Xinxin, but he will not sacrifice the entire Jiu Si for Gao Xinxin."

"How do you know?" Suzaku asked.

"Because I am also a leader." Qilin said, "No matter what the reason is, the person who finally embarks on the road of leadership must have some awakening. When he reaches the fork in his destiny, he will naturally know how to choose, just like... a kind of god. start.."

Suzaku was stunned.

After a few seconds, she suddenly relaxed and smiled with relief: "So, this trip is actually a test for me?"

Qilin nodded: "Suzaku, you betrayed me."

"You betrayed us." Suzaku met Qilin's gaze: "You have been brainwashed by Yan Liang. You are leading everyone on a path of no return. The reason why I stay is to prevent you from making the same mistake again and again! Stop it! Come on, Qilin, stop killing your fellow humans!"

"Xia Li."

Qilin slowly turned back and looked at Suzaku tenderly: "There's something you haven't understood. It was never Yan Liang who chose this path, but me. He was just trying his best to help me and hand in his own papers."

Suzaku was startled severely.

--carry out an assignment!
——Could Yan Liang be a delusional beast? !
Suddenly, many of his specious words suddenly became clear.

In the flash of lightning, Suzaku figured out something terrible.

Her voice trembled slightly, and she didn't care about the other people in the carriage: "Qilin, you...have no intention of opening the door..."

Qilin's face was expressionless.

"You didn't even plan to open the door, did you?! I guessed it right! Shenji is the key to opening the door, and you want to stop us! You never thought of opening the door!"

"Everything I do is for humanity." Qilin raised his hand slightly, and all the passengers on the tram fainted silently.

"No! You are doing it for yourself! Qilin, you selfish lunatic! What on earth do you want to..."

Suzaku didn't say anything. She forgot what she wanted to say. In fact, she had forgotten language and everything.

Hidden green spots appeared in the green eyes under the unicorn lenses, and he activated a derivative skill of brain formatting - mental fibrosis.

In just three seconds, Suzaku became a patient with the most severe terminal form of Alzheimer's disease, and this kind of brain damage can never be repaired.

She became a breathing "hollow", or dynamic vegetative state.

Retaining her basic ability to control her body and preventing her from becoming incontinent was the last dignity Qilin gave her, and it was also his last kindness to his long-time friend.

"Ding Ling—"

The tram bell rang and it was arriving.

Qilin stood up, leaned on crutches, and got off the tram. At this stop, he was the only one who got off.

In the carriage, all the passengers were unconscious. Only Suzaku was sitting on the bench. She tilted her head and opened her lifeless eyes. She didn't even blink, she just breathed quietly.

The meaning of her life is only breathing.
