The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 963 A and B
Qilin still had plenty of time. He looked at Zhong He with interest: "You are not as fearless as you show, are you?"

Zhong He's body trembled, and Qilin could easily see through his heart.

"You are angry, but more afraid. Maybe you don't even realize it. You are using anger to cover up the fear deep in your heart. You are afraid of me..."

Qilin paused for a moment: "No, it's not just me, it's all existences that are stronger than you."

Jonghyuk said nothing.

"Don't be afraid." Qilin said, "I said, I won't kill you."

"Why?" Zhong He asked.

"I don't like killing innocent people indiscriminately. Killing is just a means, not an end."

"Hey." Zhong He sneered.

"It's hard for you to believe this, I understand." Qilin was not offended, "But you can think about it carefully. Before Gao Yang appeared, did the Qilin Union I led kill any innocent people? Force me. The person who started the civil war is Gao Yang, and the person who caused the current situation is also Gao Yang."

Jong Hyuk was silent.

"Zhong He, I told you before." Someone Li was a little sad: "Gao Yang is a curse! Sooner or later, he will kill everyone and destroy the world. This does not even have anything to do with his personal will. This is fate! And we have always When it comes to changing my destiny, no matter how slim my hope is, or even if I have to go to the [-]th level of hell, I will never give up!"

Zhong Hyuk was still silent.

Qilin returned to the previous topic, "Another reason why I won't kill you is that I need you to be a hostage and let Gao Yang bring other runes in exchange for me."

Zhang Wei, who was listening, was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Qilin, his grandson, would be quite honest.

"Follow me yourself, or I'll do it for you." Qilin withdrew his smile, this was a serious topic.

"Zhong Hyuk! Let go of your hatred!" Someone Li shouted: "Enough people have died in vain, don't make any more unnecessary sacrifices!"

Zhong He lowered his head and slowly loosened his clenched fists.

He suddenly sneered, raised his head, and said slowly: "When I was in school, there was a boy in the class. He had good grades, was handsome, had a rich family, was generous, and was well-rounded. He was very popular in the class. Let’s call him A.”

Qilin and Li did not interrupt Zhong Hyuk and looked at him quietly.

"A's favorite thing to do is to mobilize his classmates to bully a classmate."

"Let's call that classmate B. B comes from a single-parent family, has an introverted personality, average grades, and a thin body. He doesn't fight back when hit or scolded. He is simply the 'perfect' target for bullying."

"At first, it was just verbal humiliation, and then it became more violent. In the most serious case, B was dragged to the men's room by A's group of people, punched and kicked, and their clothes were stripped off and thrown into the women's room next door. .B had no choice but to wait until everyone was over from school, then secretly went to the women’s restroom to get clothes, and ended up bumping into the teacher who was using the restroom.”

"This matter was considered a big deal. The students who bullied were punished. A even made a self-criticism in front of the whole school. I still remember clearly what A said at the time: I really didn't mean any harm. I'm very serious." I am concerned about B. I think B is too timid. Such a character will easily suffer in society, so I want to help him develop his courage and hope that he can get along with his classmates. I was just joking, but I didn't consider that my behavior was too extreme. , I am really sorry and ashamed for causing harm to B. I will reflect deeply and learn from the pain, and I also hope to be forgiven by B..."

Zhong He stopped and found that Qilin and Li still had no intention of interrupting him. He twitched the corner of his mouth and continued: "I don't know whether B has forgiven A. Anyway, most of the classmates and teachers have forgiven A."

"After that, B transferred to another school, and the rumor of 'going naked to the women's restroom and acting like a hooligan' spread, and B couldn't stay any longer."

"I haven't heard from B since then, but A has been active in the classmate group and circle of friends, doing very well, studying abroad, graduating from a prestigious school, starting a company, buying a luxury house, showing off sports cars, his wife is still a starlet, and he has given birth to a son. A girl with excellent genes is a sure winner in life."

"To be fair, A was very nice to me when I was in school, and I maintained a superficial relationship with him, but in my heart, I was always afraid of him, so scared." "Because I don't understand why A treats B like that, Where did B offend A?"

"Later I gradually figured out that A just felt bored and wanted to have some fun. Even if it wasn't B, there would still be C, D, E, F, and G. Anyway, he just wanted to find someone who couldn't resist and speak out. Weak people enjoy the pleasure of dominating, trampling, and destroying others, and they also need to give themselves an upright reason to cover up their arrogance, hypocrisy, and cruelty."

"I didn't become B just because I was lucky."

Zhong He reached out and touched his messy bangs, "To be honest, I'm scared to death of A. After graduation, I sometimes have nightmares about myself becoming B."

"In the dream, I had no protective color. I cried and yelled. I begged A to let me go, but A smiled even more happily. In the smelly toilet, he stepped on my face. On the ground covered with feces and urine, he kept asking me: Jonghyuk, why are you so unsociable?"

Zhong He suddenly raised his head, his eyes sharp again: "Now, I understand that fear is useless. The more you fear, the more useless it becomes. As long as I am alive for one day, I will never hand over this world to A, otherwise the next one will appear. B, countless B’s.”

Zhong Hyuk took a step forward: "Sooner or later, B will be everyone's turn."

Qilin and Li listened silently.

Li's pale lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were quickly filled with a heavy layer of sadness. She slowly closed her eyes.

"despair."

Suddenly, all the lights in the room went out, and the airless darkness swallowed everything.

——Army of Shadows!
Zhong He's long speech before was, on the one hand, really speaking from the bottom of his heart. On the other hand, it was also to attract the attention of Qilin and Li, and to maximize the chance of a sneak attack for himself.

His heel stood in the shadow of the locker and silently transformed into a "black shoelace". Zhong Hyuk was not stupid enough to use this "black shoelace" to sneak attack Qilin.

He quietly controlled it, using the shadow as a cover, slipped into the study behind him, then went around the ventilation duct into the utility room, then got into the switch in the wall cabinet, saw the right moment, and pulled the main switch.

In the absolute darkness, the shadow element was activated extremely quickly, ignoring the distance between Qilin and Li, making it difficult for people to guard against it.

Moreover, the phantom element is not bound by the power of spirit. Once Zhong He orders "Kill without mercy", even if He is controlled or killed by Qilin the next second, the Shadow Army can still act with "inertia" for two seconds.

Two seconds is enough to kill the enemy.

"despair."

After a few seconds of silence, the main switch was closed.

Qilin in the living room and Li, who was hugged by the puppet, were surrounded by eighteen shadow warriors, and all weapons were inserted into their bodies.

—Successful?

Suddenly, Zhong Hyuk remembered a detail.

The second before Zhong Hyuk attempted a sneak attack, Li closed his eyes with an unbearable expression.

——By the way, Li can see the future ten seconds later. In this case, she will definitely turn on the "prophet mode" all the time.

——But she didn’t remind Qilin, why?
Zhong He's pupils trembled and he discovered the reason.
