The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 254 Good Weather

Gao Yang saw clearly that they were Douhu, White Rabbit and Tengu. All three of them were wearing zodiac masks.

When he saw Douhu's familiar big-faced cat mask, Gao Yang felt warm in his heart, but pretended to be expressionless.

On the way here, Douhu had already spoken to Officer Huang on the phone and had a general understanding of the situation here.

Without looking at Gao Yang and the other members of the Qilin Union, he walked directly towards Gui Ma, squatted down, lifted up the clothes covering the body, and stared at Gui Ma's face for a long time.

It was a short and sad silence.

"Ghost horse." Douhu sighed helplessly: "You and Long are really two bastards. You even kept me in the dark."

Douhu stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Guima's shoulder, as if talking to a sleeping friend: "Thank you for your hard work, have a good rest, and leave the rest to us."

Douhu picked up Guima's body, stood up, and glanced at Qinglong: "My people, I took them away."

Qinglong thought for a while and said: "The deceased is gone, why not let Suzaku interrogate him. Maybe he also has important information for you."

"Don't even think about it." Douhu sneered: "Our people follow our rules."

Douhu turned around and left. White Rabbit and Tengu stepped forward to help Qing Ling and Officer Huang respectively, and left together.

"Ah, by the way," after walking more than ten steps, Douhu suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "My brother risked his life to get rid of the traitor for you tonight. This favor, let your president think about how to repay it."

Douhu turned around after speaking.

Qinglong didn't reply and watched them leave quietly.

"Damn, what are you pulling on? None of us are risking our lives tonight." Gray Xiong sat against the wall, covering his injured abdomen, cursing.

Jiuhan was also sitting beside him, his face weak and silent.

After confirming that the people of the Chinese zodiac had completely left, Qinglong sighed almost inaudibly.

In fact, more than one zodiac sign has lost a brother.

Qinglong also lost a "brother". He never imagined that Xuanwu, whom he had known for almost ten years, would be such a well-hidden enemy.

Qinglong waved his hand to the people around him: "Take the wounded back to the headquarters and notify Elder Baihu to come and deal with the aftermath. Xuanwu's remaining body will be sent to the Suzaku branch immediately. I want to interrogate with her."

"Yes."

……

Gao Yang returned to the Xuanwu branch, changed his clothes, and forced himself to sleep for two hours.

When he woke up, the trauma on his body was barely healed under the influence of special medicine, and with a little concealer on it, it was basically unnoticeable.

As for internal injuries, it will still take some time, so we can only hold on.

Gao Yang was carrying a schoolbag, which contained his admission ticket and tools needed for the college entrance examination.

Early in the morning, he left Shilong Village, hailed a taxi and headed to the examination room.

The driver guessed that Gao Yang was a test taker as soon as he saw him. He enthusiastically waived the bill and cheered Gao Yang up.

Gao Yang thanked the driver, suddenly thought of something, and said to the driver: "Master, can you go to a flower shop on Xiangyang Road in Daxu District first? It's not far from here."

"Okay, why don't you go to the flower shop?"

"I want to buy myself a bouquet of flowers for good luck." Gao Yang lied with a smile.

"No problem!" The driver cheerfully turned the steering wheel.

Soon, the taxi drove to the flower shop "Life Like Summer Flowers".

The singer opened very early today. She was still the same, with her hair pulled up and a floral apron, and she was watering the flowers at the door with a watering can.It seems that Douhu hasn't told her about Guima yet.

When the singer realized that someone was coming from behind, she immediately turned around and showed a professional smile: "Welcome..."

After seeing Gao Yang's slightly pale face, she was stunned, and then her smile reappeared, as if Gao Yang was just an ordinary customer: "Want to buy flowers?"

"Well, a friend asked me to buy them." Gao Yang said with a sad voice, "He can't come, so I must come here to buy a bouquet of flowers."

The singer was stunned, her eyes widened, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in her heart.

A few days ago, he learned from Douhu that Guima was resurrected. Her mood was extremely complicated. She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

In order to avoid suspicion, Douhu did not tell the singer more about Guima, but only told her that they were looking for him.

During this period, the singer seldom went to the Zodiac and quietly ran her own flower shop.

Sometimes, she would be distracted and see the shadow of a ghost horse on the other side of the road, but it would disappear again.

She told herself every time that maybe she just missed someone too much and had an illusion.

However, there are still some strange things.

Two days later, someone came to the flower shop to order a bouquet of forget-me-nots, but the person who ordered the flowers was very mysterious and never wanted to reveal his name.

The singer sometimes thinks crazily: maybe the person who buys flowers from her is a ghost.

Every time, she was startled by the idea, and felt a mixture of sadness and joy in her heart.

Gui Ma betrayed the twelve zodiac signs, but Gui Ma did not betray their feelings. This is not a conflict.

As a member of the Chinese zodiac, the singer hates Guima; but as an ordinary person, she still misses Guima uncontrollably, which is not inconsistent.

One day, the diva even had a dream.

She dreamed that on a rainy day, Guima appeared at the door of the flower shop holding a black umbrella. He had lost some weight and looked haggard. He personally bought a bunch of forget-me-nots for herself.

Guima took the flowers and explained to her that he actually had a hidden secret. He was not a real traitor and they were still companions.

The singer was very happy and invited him to sit down in the shop, made him a cup of coffee and played his favorite jazz music.

The two of them sat in front of the glass window, just looking at the rain quietly, their eyes meeting from time to time, and they smiled faintly.Everything is still the same as before.

"He wants, he wants..." The singer took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to ask: "What flowers should I buy?"

Gao Yang replied calmly: "Forget me not."

"Bangdang."

The watering can fell to the ground. The singer shook her head in disbelief, covering her mouth with her hands, tears falling down her cheeks: "No, no... no..."

"I'm very sorry."

With a choked voice, he walked to the door, picked up a bouquet of blue forget-me-nots, and turned to leave.

Guima, I have finished the tasks you gave me.

Oh, and, I forgive you.

Thank you for saving me. Let us walk the rest of the way for you.

……

Gao Yang got into the car again. The driver started the car, looked up at the rearview mirror, and was surprised: "Young man, why are your eyes so red? Are you okay?"

Gao Yang shook his head and rubbed his eyes: "I stayed up all night studying the questions last night, and my eyes are a little sore."

Gao Yang turned away and looked out the car window: "Today's sun is so dazzling."

"Yeah, it's good weather again, everything will go well." The driver smiled cheerfully.

……

The college entrance examination, once the most important thing in Gao Yang's life, has finally arrived.

Two days, neither long nor short.

Those were probably the calmest two days after Gao Yang's birthday.

He carefully wrote his name on the examination paper and answered the questions carefully.

The weather outside the window is unbelievably good. The summer wind is blowing, the branches are swaying, and the cicadas are chirping constantly.

When Gao Yang came to his senses, the exam was over and he had really graduated.

In the evening when the sunset was beautiful, Gao Yang returned home and opened the door. His grandmother, mother, and sister were all sitting on the sofa with serious expressions. His father was sitting in a wheelchair, looking expectantly at Gao Yang at the door.

Gao Yang silently walked into the entrance hall, put on his shoes, threw away the schoolbag in his hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he announced loudly: "I finished the exam! I think I did pretty well!"

"Haha, my son is the best!"

"Thank you for your hard work, son!"

"Well done, bro!"

"I just said Yangyang will definitely do it!"

The family members gathered around him and hugged him excitedly.

Gao Yang also smiled and let his family surround him.

For a moment, he wished time stood still at this moment.

In the evening, Gao Yang had a sumptuous dinner and had a few sips of wine with his father for the first time.

Late at night, Gao Yang took a shower, returned to his room, and locked the doors and windows.

He lay quietly on the bed, no need to resort to meditation this time, and he fell asleep quickly.

In his sleep, Gao Yang returned to the orphanage where he was six years old.

In the yard, the children were playing and playing, but Gao Yang stood alone in the middle.

Auntie came over and hugged Gao Yang tenderly from behind: "Gao Yang, why don't you play with everyone?"

"They ignored me." Gao Yang felt aggrieved.

Yeah, everyone had such a good time.

Jumping rope, throwing sandbags, building blocks, sitting on the seesaw, swinging... Each of their faces was filled with happy smiles, and their eyes were shining with joy.

However, none of the children paid attention to him, as if he was just air.

……

Gao Yang opened his eyes and woke up.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the sunlight outside the window was already a bit dazzling.

Gao Yang got up to wash up, had a simple breakfast, and went out alone.

Today is Guima's funeral.

Suzaku had already interrogated Xuanwu's body, learned a lot about the Cangmu Cult, and was already preparing a response plan.

In addition, regarding Gao Yang and Guima, Suzaku only asked from the corpse the fact that the two had joined forces, but the corpse did not know the more in-depth information, so there was no way to answer.

Gao Yang's suspicion was temporarily cleared.

Although further investigation has not yet begun, Gao Yang is now a free agent.

As a former colleague of Zodiac and as a representative sent by Qilin Union, he had to attend Guima's funeral.
