The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 641 The Way of Survival
Two o'clock in the morning, Blue House Clinic, psychological consultation room.

Qinglong and Suzaku sat on the double sofa, and an old man sat opposite them. He was wearing an old black cotton coat and a red and blue crooked face mask. He was the newly appointed elder Yanliang.

Qinglong and Suzaku knew "Uncle Yan". In the past, they had occasionally heard Qilin mention him, but this was the first time they saw him in person.

The atmosphere in the room is a bit subtle.

Suzaku casually scrolled through his phone to relieve his embarrassment, while Qinglong still sat upright without a smile.

"All right."

A few minutes later, Qilin came out with a cane in one hand and a tray in the other. On it were three cups of hand-ground coffee and one cup of Pu'er tea.

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

Qinglong and Zhuque took the initiative to stand up and take away a cup of coffee, while Yan Liang remained motionless.

Qilin took the initiative and bent down to bring the tea to Yan Liang's eyes.

Yan Liang naturally picked up the teacup, holding the teacup lid in one hand and the saucer in the other, and drank the tea.

Suzaku opposite was dumbfounded. Yan Liang was wearing a mask and didn't show his mouth at all, but he actually took a sip of tea.

Not only did he make the sound of drinking tea, but when he put down the teacup, the amount of tea in it actually became less, as if he was playing some kind of magic trick.

After a while, Yan Liang raised his head and met Suzaku's surprised gaze.

Suzaku realized his impoliteness and immediately lowered his head to drink coffee.

"This is our first meeting. Let me introduce you." Qilin sat down on the single sofa: "This is Uncle Yan. He is now the new elder of the union, Yan Liang."

"These two are Suzaku and Qinglong."

The three of them exchanged polite greetings.

Qilin clasped his hands together and leaned forward: "Do you know the reason why I called you here urgently?"

"Everyone has received Jiu Si's text message." Qinglong said in a serious tone.

"You have something to say, it's quite provocative." Suzaku smiled helplessly.

"Indeed." Qilin admitted, then frowned slightly: "But why can Qiying use an unknown number to send group text messages to all the awakened people? I don't think he can crack Dr. Jia's encrypted communication system."

"There is something wrong with Dr. Jia." Qinglong guessed reasonably: "He was kidnapped by Qiying before and was later released. He may have reached some agreement with Qiying and secretly helped him."

"It's very possible." Suzaku nodded.

"President." Qinglong suggested: "Otherwise, you should use [Wanxiang] to examine him."

Qilin made no comment.

"Haha." Yan Liang smiled while still holding Pu'er tea.

Qinglong looked at Yanliang: "Elder Yanliang has a different idea?"

"Dr. Jia has no position, no loyalty, no faith, only a pure desire for knowledge." Yan Liang's voice was old but calm: "The done deal is done. There is no point in interrogating him and punishing him. It will only push him away from us. We Inviting him to come back is to use his ability, not to ask for his loyalty."

Qinglong thought for a moment and nodded: "That makes sense."

"Qilin, leave this man to me." Yan Liang smiled: "It's time to let him do some work for us."

"Okay." Qilin nodded.

"However," Yan Liang's masked face slowly turned to Suzaku: "I want to ask Elder Suzaku for some active energy. In addition, I want to borrow someone from you."

"The energy is fine, who do you want?" Suzaku asked.

"Xiao Xin."

Suzaku was a little surprised. She thought Yan Liang would find someone with strong combat ability, but she didn't expect that it would be Xiao Xin, who was timid and mediocre in ability.

"Okay." Suzaku asked again, "How long will I borrow it for?"

"I don't know, it depends on how long it takes Dr. Jia." Yan Liang said.

"Okay." Suzaku asked no more.

"Haha." Yan Liang smiled, picked up the tea cup and continued to "drink" tea. "Suzaku." Qilin began to arrange the work: "Go and negotiate with the Zodiac and Baichuan Group and tell them not to trust Qiying."

"Okay." Suzaku said.

"Qinglong." Qilin glanced at Qinglong and said, "Continue to search for the whereabouts of the Jiu Si Organization. Once discovered, you can contact anyone in the union to assist, including me."

"Leave it to me." Qinglong nodded.

"Please remember, our first goal is to protect the rune circuit, the second goal is the heads of the Seven Shadows, and the third goal is the Nine Sis Organization."

"Understood." Qinglong and Suzaku replied at the same time.

After that, the four of them chatted for half an hour about specific matters, including Keyou's solution, clues about the dead beast and the Cang Mother Cult.

After the meeting, Suzaku gave Yanliang active energy and personally drove him to Shilong Village.

In the car, the two of them were speechless, and the atmosphere was subtle.

Suzaku had been brewing for a long time, turned down the volume of the radio station, and said naturally: "Uncle Yan, at your age, you must be a senior in the Xuanmen era, right?"

"Haha." Yan Liang's laughter was a little hoarse: "I haven't entered Xuanmen."

——This is tacitly associated with Xuanmen.

Suzaku glanced at the reflector outside the car window and slowly turned the steering wheel: "Uncle Yan and the president have known each other for a long time, right?"

"It's early."

"Before the union was established?" Suzaku asked.

"Earlier."

"Could it be..."

"Suzaku." Yan Liang interrupted: "What do you want to ask?"

"It's nothing, just a casual chat, we will be colleagues from now on." Suzaku still had a smile on his face.

"I saw it during today's meeting." Yan Liang's speech was unexpectedly direct: "You are hesitant. Are you shaken?"

"Is there any?" Suzaku was shocked but did not show it.

"Why did you follow Qilin in the first place?" Yan Liang turned his back on guests.

"There are many reasons." Suzaku said: "The most important point is that he vowed to lead mankind to escape from the mist world and go to the true home."

"Well, I forgot the original words." Suzaku smiled, "Anyway, I was quite shocked when he said this. At that time, I was relatively pessimistic and nihilistic. I didn't think humans could fight against this terrible world. But he made me think that maybe we could do it.”

"Qilin didn't lie." Yan Liang said, "He can do it and has been working hard for it."

"Yes." Suzaku said with emotion.

"Then why are you still wavering?" Yan Liang continued to ask: "Has your goal changed?"

"No." Suzaku sighed slightly: "I'm just...a little worried. Maybe there can be a better way."

"I understand." Yan Liang also sighed softly.

"Child, the way of survival is shed by blood. It is not perfect, but it is the only solution under the laws of reality; the ideal way is sung by hymns. It is very fragile and will only lead to greater failure and tragedy. .”

Suzaku fell into deep thought.

"If we can live until the day the door opens, we will all be grateful to Qilin." Yan Liang said firmly.

Suzaku smiled lightly: "I have learned a lesson."

"That's it. I'll walk the rest of the way by myself." Yan Liang said.

"it is good."

Suzaku pulled over and Yan Liang got out of the car and left.

Suzaku looked sideways, Yan Liang was as skinny as a stick, with a stooped back, and his out of place figure gradually blended into the bustling bar street with feasting and entertainment, and was soon overwhelmed by the turbulent and glitzy flow of people.
