The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 936 The New Year is the biggest

Not only Hengmu, but others also became nervous, and the atmosphere became solemn again.

"But the possibility is extremely small." Three seconds later, Gao Yang finished his words.

Douhu touched his stubble-covered chin with a sly smile: "Xiao Yangyang, you really hold a grudge."

Gao Yang smiled and said nothing: You are the only one who can breathe heavily, right?

"Why is the possibility so small?" Hong Xiaoxiao asked without understanding.

"Well..." Jingshu had a good relationship with Sao Qing in the past, she said softly, "Sister Qing told me that every time she curses a person with a [blood curse], her life span will be shortened. It can be as short as a few months, or as long as... Several years, and cursing multiple targets at once will save lifespan rather than splitting it up and cursing the targets multiple times."

"Jingjing, there's one thing you don't understand." Douhu smiled nonchalantly: "Who to curse, how many times to curse, it's not Saoqing who has the final say. If she can make the final decision on her own, I believe she can curse at once. It won’t work.”

Jingshu lowered her head and fell silent. When she thought of the scene of Sao Qing being forced by Qilin to activate the curse, she was angry and sad for a moment: When Team Leader Zhong He changed his job, I should have been firmer and pulled Sister Qing with me.

"The reason for Gao Yang's judgment should be another point." Dou Hu grinned: "Once Sao Qing launches the curse, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will immediately arouse our alert. If Haichuan Tuan wants to curse again later, we will never give it a chance. Everyone knows that we have a cheating artifact called Hong Xiaoxiao."

Hong Xiaoxiao was praised by Douhu with a strange metaphor, and her face turned red for a moment.

"So, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, when everyone is most relaxed and least defensive, cursing all the people who can be cursed at once is definitely the best plan."

"Everyone can think about it. If Hong Xiaoxiao hadn't set up defenses in advance, Pang Jun's body would have been cold until tomorrow morning, and we might not have discovered it."

"Qilin, this old yin critic!" Zhang Wei cursed: "He is the one who deserves the most disgrace!"

"Good scolding." Douhu nodded with satisfaction: "Let's work harder to help him."

Gao Yang looked at the crowd and felt a sense of relief that the children had finally grown up: "I have nothing to add, so I'm leaving now."

"Captain Gao, be careful on the road." Hengmu said with concern.

"What do you mean, Hengmu? The person standing in front of you is the [lucky] owner, the organization's jumping monster, the human rune radar, the spy nemesis, and the divine heir of the King of Gou Ming, Gao Yang!"

Douhu raised his thick eyebrows in anger: "You're worried about him, are you fucking serious?"

There was sadness hidden in Gao Yang's smile, and he countered: "It turns out that talent is not the only thing that can be inherited."

Douhu was stunned and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, you kid!"

Gao Yang put on his coat, tied up his hair, turned around and left.

"Wait a minute!" Gao Xinxin came to the living room at some point. She held a woolen scarf in her hand. She took a few steps forward and tied it on Gao Yang's feet: "You are wearing it. I don't need this warmth."

"No, if I break it..."

"You dare?" Gao Xinxin glared at his brother, but he tied the scarf very gently.

After a few seconds, she took a step back and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, not bad, let's go."

……

After Gao Yang left, Hong Xiaoxiao checked everyone's situation again and felt relieved.

Then, she came to Zhong Hyuk's bedroom.

This bedroom was originally occupied by Zhong He, Hengmu, and Huang Dihou.

Huang Dihou died on New Year's Eve. Hengmu realized [sleepless] a few days ago and almost didn't have to sleep anymore. In addition, he couldn't stand the decadent air pressure and the strong smell of alcohol in the room, so he basically didn't go back to the room.

Hong Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, acted businesslike, opened the door, and turned on the light.

The room was messy and smelled of alcohol. Hong Xiaoxiao immediately frowned.

Zhong He was wearing a set of pajamas, with his back to Hong Xiaoxiao, slumped in a swivel chair, with half a bottle of wine in his hand, and the floor was full of empty wine bottles.

"Zhong He." Hong Xiaoxiao carefully walked around the wine bottle and walked to him: "Are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"

Zhong He was blinded by the light and raised his hand to block it.

He had an unkempt beard, greasy hair, bloodshot eyes, and dark blue eyes. He slowly raised his head and glanced at Hong Xiaoxiao, then lowered his head, as if the other person was just air.

"Sao Qing may have used the blood we left on the battlefield to curse us. Currently, the ones who have been cursed include Horse, Dead Pig, and Zhang Wei."

Hong Xiaoxiao said: "So, I have to confirm your situation."

Zhong He raised the bottle of wine and took another slow sip, still saying nothing. "Please cooperate with my work." Hong Xiaoxiao was unyielding and had a tough attitude.

After an unknown length of silence, Zhong Hyuk finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse, "No."

Hong Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief: at least, he was still willing to talk.

At the beginning, Hong Xiaoxiao also felt that her sister was right. There were some hurdles that he could only overcome by himself. If he needed someone to help him, he would show it.

But it had been several days, and Zhong He showed no signs of cheering up at all, so Hong Xiaoxiao guessed that maybe Zhong He drank hard, refused to communicate, and pushed everyone away, which was his "distress signal"?

——If you think I'm annoying, just think I'm annoying. Anyway, I just want to "meddle in other people's business."

"Take it." Hong Xiaoxiao took out a hairpin. She could have put it directly into Zhong He's pocket, but she didn't. She held the hairpin in front of him and waited for Zhong He to pick it up.

Zhong Hyuk lowered his head, showed no reaction, and turned back into a puddle of mud.

"Take it." Hong Xiaoxiao repeated.

For some reason, once she had the excuse of "cooperating with work", Hong Xiaoxiao became much braver.

——Hong Xiaoxiao, you are not caring about him because of your sentimentality, you are doing your job.

——Yes, that's right. If he doesn't cooperate with your work, you can continue to be stubborn and see who can be tougher than the other...

"boom!"

The door was suddenly kicked open.

Hong Xiaoxiao, who felt "guilty as a thief", was so frightened that she almost screamed and immediately took back her hairpin.

She turned around and saw that it was Dou Hu.

She looked flustered: "I, I am confirming his situation..."

"Don't worry about this mud." Douhu didn't care, "Let's go out."

"Ah?" Hong Xiaoxiao was stunned, "Now?"

"Yes, hurry up."

"oh oh."

Hong Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhong He quietly for the last time and left quickly.

When Hong Xiaoxiao returned to the living room, she was really surprised.

The monkey, the dead pig, the cute sheep, Hengmu, Jingshu, Mu Zitu, Wang Weizhen, Gregor, Gao Xinxin, Ke You, Crow Shark, Suzaku, everyone except Jun Ma and Zhong He gathered.

Suzaku and his wheelchair were fixed on the dead pig's broad back with a special device. On his shoulders, Meng Yang and Wang Weiyin sat respectively.

"Uncle Dead Pig, are you recovered?" Hong Xiaoxiao was a little worried.

"Haha." Dead Pig let out a nasal laugh, "It's okay. Besides, don't you still have your hairpin?"

Douhu stood at the entrance and clapped his hands, "Everyone, we have to celebrate the New Year like a Chinese New Year. The cute little sheep and Yao Yao want to see the fireworks. As adults, we can't even fail to satisfy this small wish, right?"

"Uncle Hu." Hengmu was a little worried, "With so many people acting together, it's easy to be exposed. Why not let Hong Xiaoxiao take them to see..."

"Why?" Douhu looked unhappy: "If the kids want to watch it, I want to watch it too!"

"But……"

"Okay, stop talking. The world is big and the New Year is the biggest!" Douhu made up his mind.

"Hengmu." Pohou smiled, "Don't look at what Douhu said, he must have done it because he was sure in his heart."

"Yes." Hengmu also smiled.

The others looked at each other with no worries. One of them said that after being bored in this place for many days, everyone wanted to go out for some fresh air, not to mention it was still New Year's Eve when we were celebrating together.

Douhu raised his arms and waved: "Follow me!"
