The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 616 The Bottom Line
Qilin turned around in the tea room. Qinglong and Suzaku were already standing outside the door. The weather turned cold, so they both put on long windbreakers and tied scarves.

"President."

"President."

"Come in and sit down." Qilin walked out of the tea room with a cane in one hand and a coffee tray in the other.

The three of them sat down on the sofa in the psychological consultation room, chatted for a while, and drank two sips of coffee leisurely.

"Let's have a meeting."

Qilin went straight to the topic. Miss Qin was not here, and there was no need to talk about "mutual aid treatment" in the future.

Qinglong reported his work first: "Last night, my people found some clues outside the abandoned chemical plant on Apple Island."

"Isn't that where the Xuanwu incident happened?" Suzaku frowned slightly.

"Yes." Qinglong nodded: "There was a burned private car and two motorcycles there. Judging from the wreckage of the motorcycles, they were shared electric cars and Saimo. There were also the remains of nine burned mobile phones in the car. .”

"It's Qiying and the others, that's right." Suzaku said.

"Yes." Qinglong glanced at Suzaku: "I asked the intelligence department of the Baichuan Regiment to conduct an in-depth investigation. The last renter of this shared electric vehicle was Hong Xiaoxiao."

Zhuque's face darkened. Although she had already guessed that Hong Xiaoxiao had rebelled, when it came time to seal the coffin, she still looked a little confused.

"The owner of that Saimo is Qiying's friend, that special lost person named Wang Zikai." Qinglong continued: "It is said that he is very powerful. When Red Bee and Sen He went to catch Gao Xinxin, they almost killed him. ”

Qilin took a sip of coffee, his eyes wandered, but he said nothing.

"As for the other people who lost contact, Hui Xiong, Jiu Han, Man She, Can Can, Nana, and the green snake of the Chinese zodiac." Qinglong's eyes became sharper: "They should all have defected with the Seven Shadows."

Qinglong paused for two seconds and said regretfully: "I'm not surprised about the others, but Nana, I really didn't expect that. I trained that child with my own hands. I usually treat her well, but I didn't expect that she would also betray me... "

"With all due respect, you trained her and treated her well, but you never really recognized her." Suzaku smiled bitterly: "And what she needs most is recognition."

Qinglong was stunned, then nodded and admitted: "There is indeed a generation gap between me and her. I don't understand her inner world, and I have never wanted to understand it."

"Everyone has his own ambitions, don't force yourself." Qilin said calmly: "From now on, we will be enemies."

Qinglong and Suzaku were silent.

Qilin put down the coffee cup and held the cane with both hands: "Qinglong, we continue to search for the Seven Shadows gang. If we encounter them, you can decide whether to arrest or kill them."

"Understood." Qinglong nodded.

Qilin looked at Suzaku again: "You contact the Zodiac and Baichuan Group to express our attitude. We can accept cooperation and neutrality, but if they assist the Seven Shadows Gang, whether overt or covert, they will be enemies of the Qilin Union and bear the consequences." .”

"Okay." Suzaku nodded, but hesitated.

"Suzaku, tell me what you have to say." Qilin was very perceptive.

Suzaku hesitated for a few seconds and sighed softly, "President, do you really want to go to this point?"

Qilin looked serious, "Qiying got the guardian rune from the beginning, but he concealed it and deliberately delayed the upgrade of [spiritual weapons]. On the surface, he was preparing to go into the abyss, but in fact, he wanted to deal with me. He has had different intentions for a long time. ”

Suzaku was silent.

"Qiying also made it clear that he would never let me open the door to the end." Qilin looked at the two of them, "Qinglong, Suzaku, you have followed me for almost 20 years, don't you know what my bottom line is?"

Of course Qinglong and Suzaku knew.Qilin's bottom line is: he can negotiate, tolerate, and even compromise on anything, but the door to the end must be opened by himself.This is why Qilin has never told anyone the location of the Gate of Ending in the past 20 years.

Qilin has stated more than once: Anyone who tries to stop him from opening the door is his enemy and the enemy of all mankind.He has been working hard for the survival of mankind all his life. He must do this, and only he can do it.

"I understand." Suzaku said no more.

"President, does Long object to you opening the door?" Qinglong asked.

"That's what Qiying told me." Qilin narrowed his eyes slightly: "But this may not be Long's original words. Maybe Qiying wants to sow discord and wait for the fisherman to benefit."

"It's very possible." Qinglong said in a displeased tone: "Although Qiying is young, the city is very deep."

"So, unless Long personally objects to me opening the door, I will not rashly become an enemy of the twelve zodiac animals." Qilin paused briefly: "However, I asked Douhu about this matter, and Douhu said that Long has been keeping secrets during this time Action, even he can't contact Long. As for Long's attitude towards me opening the door, only Long himself knows."

"Will the dragon hibernate again?" Qinglong said: "I heard that the dragon's strength is obtained by hibernating for a long time. I don't know whether it is true or not. The last time he went to the island country to deal with the beasts, he may have consumed too much."

Qilin said nothing.

"Do you want to bet on this possibility?" Suzaku frowned: "Qinglong, do you think it's not chaotic enough now?"

Qinglong shook his head: "No, if possible, I hope the three major organizations can coexist peacefully and not kill each other."

"Me too." Qilin's eyes were cold: "In short, deal with the Seven Shadows first, get the guardian runes, and then consider the next step."

"Yes."

"Where is the Cangmu Cult?" Suzaku asked again.

"If they don't take the initiative to stir up trouble, they'll leave it alone." Qilin said, "Time is running out in the foggy world, and opening the door is more important than anything else."

"Row."

After that, the three of them chatted about other matters for half an hour.

After the meeting, when Suzaku was about to get up, Qilin called out to her: "Suzaku, you will drive me somewhere later."

"No problem, is it far?" Suzaku asked, "If it's far, I'll have to fill up on gas first."

"Not far." Qilin said.

……

Ten minutes later, Zhuque drove Qilin to Anliang District.

Folk songs were playing in the car, and the two of them were speechless.

Seeing that he was almost at his destination, Suzaku stretched out his hand to turn off the radio and said calmly: "On the day under the Seven Shadows in the Abyss, he also tried to dig me out, but I refused."

Suzaku paused: "I never thought at the time that things would get to this point."

Qilin nodded slightly, no surprise: "Qiying had the ambition to go it alone from the beginning."

"I don't want to speak for him." Suzaku said in a sincere tone: "I think he may not have planned to go it alone at the beginning. A high school student who has just graduated from high school has only been awakened for less than half a year. Many things are done step by step. It's pretentious. No, it was fate that pushed him to this point."

"Suzaku." Qilin took off his glasses, sighed, and said in a calm tone, "You are blaming me."
