The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 660
In an old, old-fashioned two-bedroom rental house, a brother and sister were having dinner.

There are three home-cooked dishes on the table: fried pork with green pepper, steamed eggs, and shredded potatoes.

My sister is 23 years old. She wears a black and white striped sweater, her hair is tied up, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. She doesn’t look like she likes to dress up.

The younger brother is 14 years old. He has a delicate face and looks very thin. He is wearing a junior high school uniform and has his head buried in eating.

The sister picked up two pieces of meat and put them into her brother's bowl, and gave him a spoonful of steamed eggs: "Eat more vegetables and less food, otherwise you won't grow taller."

"Yeah." The younger brother buried his head in eating.

"Did you drink the milk in the morning?" My sister asked again.

"Ah."

My sister stopped talking, lowered her head to eat, and calculated this month's salary and the expenses at home.

"I'm full." The younger brother put down the bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Okay, let's go do your homework." My sister sounded like an elder.

"Sister, tomorrow is your birthday." My brother said.

My sister was stunned, she almost forgot about it, she looked indifferent and continued to eat.

"Shall I celebrate your birthday with you?" said the younger brother.

"No, I have to go to the museum. Two bodies were delivered this afternoon. I have to put makeup on them tomorrow." After my sister graduated from college, she went directly to the funeral parlor to work as an embalmer.

In fact, my sister can definitely find a more decent and easier job, but the salary of an embalmer is high.

The younger brother lowered his head, his voice a little guilty, "Sister, why don't you stop doing this job? I've discussed it with Aunt Liu next door, and I can go to her late-night snack stall to help out in the evening. She will give me every month..."

"What are you thinking about! Your task now is to study!" The elder sister interrupted her younger brother and her tone became stern.

"I promise that I will not affect my studies..."

"No, how old are you? Aunt Liu is hiring child labor. If people find out, her shop will be closed down. Do you want to harm others?" My sister threatened half-seriously.

The younger brother was discouraged, "Okay."

My sister put down the bowls and chopsticks, and her tone was softer: "Don't worry, sister, I'm fine now, really. At first, I was a little repelled by this job, but now I have changed my mind, I can treat the deceased with dignity and dignity. It’s a very fulfilling thing to leave.”

My sister smiled, "Last month, a junior high school girl who was about your age died in a car accident. Her face was scraped on the road for several meters. When I arrived at this moment, that face..."

The elder sister stopped in time, "Anyway, I spent several days helping her repair her face so that she could say goodbye to her family, friends and classmates beautifully. Afterwards, her parents came to see me, crying. Thank you, your sister felt a special sense of accomplishment at that time..."

The younger brother also smiled: "Sister, you are so awesome."

"It's good to know." My sister also smiled, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and continued eating.

"Sister, aren't you going home tomorrow?" my brother asked.

"It will be very busy, so I should just sleep in the hotel."

The younger brother nodded, his eyes twinkling: "Sister, I actually prepared a birthday gift for you, so I'll give it to you in advance."

My sister was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Whatever I give as a gift, it's Sister Hua's money. With this money, it's better to buy more study materials."

"Sister, I earned this money myself." The younger brother was a little excited.

"Tell me, how do you earn?" My sister was a little curious.

The younger brother was a little embarrassed: "Hey, I wrote a week's homework for my classmates...ah!"

My sister hit him on the head with a chopstick: "Don't do this kind of thing again! You are not helping people, you are hurting them, you know?"

"If I don't write it for him, he will find someone else to write it, so the money is not as good as the money I make." The younger brother rubbed his head and made excuses.

"You're being tough, aren't you! I don't care about others, you can't do this kind of thing anymore anyway, do you hear me?" My sister was a little angry.

"I know." The younger brother was also a little angry. He stood up and turned around to leave.

"Wait, where are you going?" My sister called to my brother.

"This money is dirty, and so are the gifts I bought. I lost them." "You...sit down!" my sister shouted nervously.

The younger brother came back and sat down, dejected.

"What's wrong with gifts? Gifts are innocent!" The sister stared at her brother seriously and suddenly smiled: "Okay, okay, I shouldn't be harsh on you, give me the gift quickly."

The younger brother couldn't hold it back and laughed. He took out a small wrapped gift box from his pocket and said, "Here!"

"What is this?" My sister was a little surprised: "It can't be a ring, right? This thing should be given to a girlfriend, not a sister. But you are still young, so you can't fall in love prematurely."

"Hey, let's take it apart and take a look."

My sister opened it and found a small white square box.

"what is this?"

"Contact lenses." The younger brother was very proud: "Sister, it's not popular to wear frames for your eyes now, so we all wear these... Your left eye is 300 degrees, and your right eye is 275 degrees. I remember them all, so I directly matched them for you."

My sister also heard about the contact lenses. She looked up at her brother and said, "Why do you want to give me this?"

"Sister, please stop wearing glasses." The younger brother was very proud: "My classmates all said that you are good-looking, especially your eyes, which are very beautiful, but you always wear a pair of glasses and have a slumped face. It seems that you are like no one else." I owe you money, so I can’t find a boyfriend.”

"Looking for death!" My sister pretended to be angry.

"Haha, I'm going to do my homework." The younger brother smiled and ran into the room.

My sister looked at the contact lens case in her hand, feeling warm in her heart. She turned her head and shouted into the room: "Brother, thank you for the gift. I like it very much."

In the room, the younger brother didn't answer.

My sister's heart sank, and she suddenly had a bad premonition. She shouted again: "Brother, do you hear me?"

A dark shadow emerged from the room and was projected on the floor, looking a little strange.

"younger brother?"

My sister noticed something was wrong and stood up in a hurry. She was about to go to the room, but she was stunned.

The younger brother walked out of the room. His whole body was covered with hard blue scales, his thin body had grown to two meters tall, and a slippery and cold tail grew out from behind him.

His face was covered with blue-gray flesh bumps, which seemed to be alive and squirming strangely. His eyes turned into golden glass balls, and the corners of his mouth were split to the lower jaw, which was filled with sharp fangs.

In this face, you can barely see a little bit of his younger brother.

He opened his mouth towards his sister, brown saliva dripped, his voice was rough and unclear, "Sister, the gift I gave you... do you like it..."

……

Suzaku opened his eyes and woke up from the sofa in the lounge of Xuanwu Building.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, it was dark outside the window. Today, Suzaku and Iseki Daiko came to Shilong Village to meet other team members. After chatting all afternoon, Suzaku felt a little sleepy, so he decided to take a nap and wait until evening to have dinner together.

It's already 7 o'clock, why hasn't anyone asked her to go to dinner?

"Buzzing—"

The phone in his pocket was still vibrating. It turned out that it was the phone that woke up Suzaku.

Suzaku took the phone: "Hello..."

"Something happened! Come and save people!" Yishi shouted.

"Where?" Suzaku's sleepiness disappeared instantly.

"BBQ restaurant...boom! beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep] and the signal was cut off.

"Hey! One stone? One stone! Damn it!"

Suzaku grabbed his coat and rushed out the window.
