The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 258 Mutual Aid and Treatment
"Ask." Suzaku, who was driving, looked ahead lazily.

"You said before that corpse No. 4 also died from the Crimson Tide, and might have been killed by ghosts or beasts," Gao Yang said.

"Yeah." Suzaku nodded.

"Why did No. 4 meet the delusional beast?" Gao Yang frowned slightly: "Could it be said that the delusional beast also uses tactics to lure the awakened ones to show up?"

"Probably not."

Suzaku twitched his lips, with a complicated look on his face: "I have interrogated the body of No. 4. He was also lured out by Greedy Beast. However, No. 4 was very confident in himself. He easily eliminated those who wanted to harm his 'family' Greedy Beast encountered a more powerful enemy on his way back to the base and was unable to escape."

"Well," Gao Yang's mood was also very complicated: "In other words, No. 4 just had bad luck and bumped into the wandering beast, and this beast happened to be the Darkest One."

"possible."

Suzaku narrowed his eyes slightly: "Some people have speculated that the number of delusional beasts does not exceed 15, of which the dark ones account for half, and the visitors and observers combined account for half. If they did not restrict each other, the situation of the awakened ones would be worse. Dangerous.”

"I basically understand." Gao Yang grasped the key point, "In other words, during the seven days of the Scarlet Tide, the biggest threat to the awakened is the delusional beast, but as long as they don't seek death, they generally won't encounter it."

"Yes." Suzaku nodded and added: "There is another threat, ghost."

Gao Yang was stunned and almost forgot about the ghost group.

"The seven days of the Scarlet Tide are also the time when ghost groups kill awakened people most frequently."

"Ghosts are also awakened ones, right? Won't high-level beasts attack them?" Gao Yang was confused.

"We can basically confirm that the ghost group and the high-level beasts are not in the same camp, and they are not in conflict with each other."

Suzaku looked back at Gao Yang: "By the way, do you know why the ghost wants to kill the awakened one? With your current level, this is information you can know."

Gao Yang had already asked Chu Xue, but still shook his head pretending not to know.

"Because ghosts feed on the energy of awakened people." Suzaku said with a faint glint in his eyes: "It's easy to understand if you think of them as vampires."

"That's it!" Gao Yang pretended to be surprised, and flattered him by the way: "Sister Xia, your metaphor is so apt!"

"Well, regarding the ghost group's intelligence, our union has mastered and verified the following points."

"First, the ghost group has very few members, never more than one digit."

"Two, the overall strength of ghosts is slightly lower than that of wild beasts, but there is no guarantee that all ghosts will be like this."

"[-]. Ghosts treat awakened people as food. Eating awakened people can extend the life of ghosts and increase their strength."

"Four. Ghosts do not hunt uncontrollably. On the contrary, they are very restrained. They especially like high-sequence awakened people and will only eat once every two years on average."

"[-]. When the scarlet tide comes, the ghosts will be stronger and have a higher desire to hunt."

Gao Yang listened silently and felt a little regretful: "So, you don't know how ghosts come from?"

Suzaku smiled: "Yes, but this matter has made some progress, thanks to you."

Gao Yang immediately guessed: "Cang Mu Cult?"

"Well, I interrogated Xuanwu's body. Although it took less than a minute, I got a lot of information, including members of the ghost group."

"What is it?"

"I can't tell you the details, they have yet to be verified." Suzaku tilted his lips: "You only need to know that the Ghost Group and the Cangmu Sect have been cooperating over the years."

Gao Yang didn't ask any more questions.

Suzaku sighed: "Originally, the next focus of the union was to investigate and cleanse the Cang Mother Cult. At this juncture, the Scarlet Tide is coming again. As the saying goes, good things don't come in pairs, and bad things come together."

Gao Yang glanced at Suzaku lightly and said tentatively: "How do I feel? Sister Xia, you were very excited when you said this."

"Seven Shadows!" Suzaku stretched out his hand and gently pushed Gao Yang's shoulder: "Do you understand if you don't tell if you see through?"

"Be careful in the future." Suzaku used his fingers to lift his air bangs: "Tell me, isn't my sister very bad?"

"why?"

"I always find life boring and look forward to something happening, but when something like this happens, many people will definitely die. In the eyes of those who want to live a stable life, I am really bad."

Gao Yang thought about it seriously and answered honestly: "This world cannot allow us to live peacefully forever. Instead of being passively beaten, it is better to take the initiative."

"Qiying!" Suzaku was in a good mood and winked at Gao Yang with admiration: "You still understand, sister."

……

No. 343, Lijiang Middle Road, 19F, Blue House Clinic.

When Gao Yang and Suzaku walked into the office building lobby, it happened to be lunch break.

Office workers went downstairs in search of food, and the elevator was so crowded that it was impossible to squeeze in.

Gao Yang and Suzaku chose to take the stairs. As awakened people, they easily climbed up to the 19th floor without taking a breath.

The two pushed open the glass door of the clinic, and the metal wind chimes jingled, which was very pleasant.

Miss Qin at the front desk was not here, so she probably went downstairs for lunch.

"Doctor Su, are you there?" Suzaku called politely into the back room.

"Everyone is here, come in." Doctor Su responded from inside the door.

Zhuque and Gao Yang looked at each other and pushed the door open.

In the well-lit psychological consultation room, Dr. Su still looks like a gentle and bookish psychiatrist. He is sitting on the main sofa with his crutches aside.

On a rectangular sofa to his left, two men were sitting, neither wearing masks.

A man was sitting upright, stern, wearing a thin gray windbreaker.He is tall and muscular, with a strong and powerful body, much like an excellent fighter.

Gao Yang guessed from his body shape that this person was Elder Qinglong.

Judging by his face alone, he is about forty years old, with sharp and sophisticated eyes, three-dimensional facial features, and an O-shaped beard, giving him the air of a calm and dignified man.

According to Gao Yang's original thinking, Elder Qinglong is more suitable to be the president of the Qilin Union.

The middle-aged man sitting next to Elder Qinglong looked much more honest. He looked to be in his forties, with an average build and a slightly bulging belly.

He was wearing blue striped jersey and shorts, white socks and black sneakers, with a semi-wet towel around his neck. He seemed to have just arrived from the football field.

He has very short hair, a very blessed round face with a pair of bright little eyes, a fleshy nose, and thick lips, like a comedian in the movie.

He looked up at Gao Yang and Suzaku, and his voice was friendly and natural, as if he was chatting about home affairs: "Xiao Xia, Xiao Ying, you are here."

For a moment, Gao Yang thought this man was one of his elder relatives, but now it was just an ordinary family dinner.

I really didn’t expect that Elder Baihu of the Qilin Union, the man responsible for security work, would be so down-to-earth.

"President, Elder Baihu, Elder Qinglong." Gao Yang nodded slightly and greeted each of them politely.

Suzaku was very relaxed. She sat down on the sofa opposite the two elders and patted the seat next to her: "Qiying, don't be too formal. Sit down."

Gao Yang sat down next to Zhuque.

In this way, the core figures of the Qilin Union have arrived.

Dr. Su's shoulders tilted slightly to one side. He held the crutch in one hand and supported the side of his face with the other. His tone was mellow and gentle.

"Everyone is here, let's start today's mutual aid treatment."
