The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 956 Mortals
"what……"

Chuxue opened her eyes and was covered in cold sweat.

She was still lying in bed: it turned out to be just a dream.

Chuxue slowly sat up, got out of bed and walked to the dressing mirror, and began to practice smiling in front of the mirror.

At first, the smile was a little bitter, but gradually, the smile became more and more natural, and the cheerful, lively and carefree Chuxue returned.

"Dong dong dong." Chuxue walked down the spiral staircase.

The lights in the living room were turned off and the fireplace was warm. Gao Yang was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, waiting for signals from the front line.

He opened his eyes: "Can't sleep?"

"Yes." Chuxue walked to Gao Yang, "Where is Gao Yang?"

"I'm not sleepy." Gao Yang said with a smile.

"Then let's watch a movie, okay?" Chuxue blinked lightly.

"Okay." Gao Yang patted the sofa beside him, "Sit down."

Chu Xue sat down, Gao Yang stood up, walked under the TV cabinet, and pulled out a large box of DVDs: "What movie do you want to watch, or would you like me to recommend it?"

"The second one in the first row." Chuxue directly reported the location of the video disc.

Gao Yang found it immediately and found that it was the second part of "Journey to the West". Gao Yang was slightly startled, remembering some pleasant past events, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Everything happened naturally, as if they had been living together a long time ago. This was just an extremely ordinary sleepless night among countless days and nights. Even the movie I was watching to pass the time had been watched countless times. Yes, I can’t tell which one is better.

Everything flows like water and wind blows, the most ordinary and profound.

He turned on the TV, inserted the DVD, and returned to the sofa.

Chuxue gently leaned against Gao Yang and looked at him seriously.

She later watched this movie many times. Every time she watched it, she laughed and cried. Her feelings were different every time. She knew every plot and even every line in it by heart.

——"I want to remind you again, after wearing the golden hoop, you will no longer be a mortal."

——"You can't have any more lust in this world. If you are tempted, this golden hoop will tighten tighter and tighter on your head, making you miserable."

Unconsciously, the movie is coming to an end, and the classic lines appear again.

While Chu Xue followed the words gently, she subconsciously grasped Gao Yang's hand, her eyes turning red.

After a while, Chuxue said: "Gao Yang, why do you think your chest feels a little uncomfortable every time you watch a movie?"

"Because you're moved?"

"I'm not moved or sad. Apart from these, there is also an indescribable discomfort."

Gao Yang thought about it seriously and replied softly: "You may be talking about the feeling of emptiness, or in other words, the feeling of nothingness."

"A feeling of nothingness?" Chuxue blinked.

"This is often the case for me. After watching a movie, a novel, or clearing a game, I will fall into a brief sense of nothingness. A story is over. As a fully immersed audience, you will feel this way."

"What should we do?" Chuxue asked.

"Just go back to your own life." Gao Yang said his answer: "No matter how wonderful other people's stories are, they belong to others. No matter how ordinary our own life is, it is the only life we ​​have."

Chuxue thought seriously for a while, her wet eyes were like a lake filled with mist under a moonlit night. She smiled lightly at Gao Yang: "Yeah."

Soon, the most classic scene in the movie came. The Supreme Treasure grabbed the dead Zixia Fairy, and the tight spell on his head became tighter and tighter. He was in pain, but he just refused to let go.Chuxue suddenly picked up the remote control and turned off the movie with a beep.

It all ended abruptly.

Gao Yangzheng was confused.

Chuxue grinned at Gao Yang, "Gao Yang, I'm hungry."

……

Yuanyang River, outdoor laboratory.

"Chen Ying" on the roof of the business car opened her eyes, ended [perception], and entered a half-hour rest period.

Beside the campfire, "Jong Hyuk" and "Jian Ma" were chatting, which was all insignificant gossip. If anyone had the patience to listen for an hour, they would find that the two of them were just repeating hundreds of lines. Piece together and reassemble.

After "Qing Ling" wiped all his weapons, he stood up and left, arriving at Dr. Jia's research room.

"Qing Ling" will talk to Dr. Jia three times a day, with the same line: What are your needs?
This fits Qing Ling's character very well.

If Dr. Jia has a need, "Qing Ling" will find a way to tell it to Jiuhan, who will make detailed arrangements to ensure that no flaws are leaked.

"Chen Ying" had jumped off the roof of the car and sat down on a folding chair next to the campfire. While warming herself by the fire, she said the preset words and joined the chat between "Zhong He" and "Zhun Ma".

"You two, focus."

"With Sister Ying's [sense] here, what are you afraid of?"

"My [perception] is not omnipotent."

"The Haichuan Regiment won't come. Qilin is at the end of its strength. It's too late to hide from us."

"The research Dr. Jia is doing is very important and there must be no mistakes."

"Oh, that madman Dr. Jia actually wants to stir up the mist..."

"Be quiet!"

"Don't worry, they don't have a good ear and can't hear you."

The three chatted.

Suddenly, a basketball-sized space portal appeared 200 meters behind Chen Ying.

"call out--"

A dart was shot from the transmission port and flew towards "Chen Ying".

"brush--"

The moment the dart approached Chen Ying, An Hege flew out of the dart, holding a three-pointed thorn, and pierced "Chen Ying's" back unexpectedly.

"Chen Ying" didn't react at all.

An Hege was shocked. She actually didn't want to kill Chen Ying. If possible, she hoped to just hurt her and make her lose the ability to resist.

But she never expected that Chen Ying would be assassinated so easily without noticing.

In just a moment, An Hege realized: It's a substitute!This is indeed a trap!
An Hege wanted to remind his teammates, but it was too late.
