The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 667 Firefly

"'Hey, puppy, why are you crying?' Firefly asked."

"'I want to go home, but it's so dark and I'm lost.' The puppy said sadly."

"The firefly smiled: 'Don't be sad, I'll go in front of you and give you a light.'"

"'My home is so far away, and your lamp is so small, it will go out after a short walk.' The puppy shook his head."

"'It doesn't matter, I can call my friends, and together we can help you light up the mountain road at night, so that you can go home safely.'"

"The puppy was very happy and followed the fireflies forward. After a while, many fireflies flew over and lit up the surrounding area."

"Although some fireflies kept going out, new fireflies always appeared, lighting up the dangerous mountain roads. The puppy walked and walked, and finally came home."

"Okay, tonight's story is over." The woman in the wheelchair had a gentle voice and a kind face. She gently closed the fairy tale picture book and reached out to touch the little girl's head, "Go to sleep."

The little girl was covered with a quilt, revealing half of her face and two big black eyes, and asked worriedly: "What about the fireflies? Those fireflies whose lights don't light up, can they go home?"

The woman in the wheelchair was stunned for a moment and replied with a smile: "Of course I'm going home. Fireflies don't get lost at night."

"Yes." The little girl felt relieved. She turned sideways and closed her eyes: "Good night."

"Good night." The woman in the wheelchair left the room and turned off the light.

The room darkened, and the little girl was about to fall asleep when suddenly the whole bed sank, and the little girl's body fell heavily.

"Gollum—"

The little girl swallowed a mouthful of cold water. She opened her eyes in panic and found that she was immersed in dark water.

She wanted to call for help, but she could only keep drinking water.

There seemed to be a shimmering light above her head, and she struggled with her limbs. When she raised her head, she saw an oblong "skylight" that looked like a bathtub.

It turned out that the little girl fell into the bottomless bathtub.

Suddenly, the little girl grew up and became the Chen Ying she is today.

She knew how to swim, and she tried her best to swim up, but she couldn't reach the exit of the bathtub. Finally, the oxygen in her body ran out, and her body became heavier and colder, falling into the bottomless darkness.

She is like a firefly in the dark, the light of life is about to go out, and what greets her is not home, but death.

……

"what!"

Chen Ying yelled and woke up, covered in cold sweat.

At this moment, she was sitting in the driver's seat of her car. The sun was bright outside the car, and the surrounding scenery was in the suburbs. After a few seconds, she realized that she was still outside the Lizi scrapyard.

Suddenly, she remembered something. She looked down and saw that her chest was dark red, which was dried blood.

She pressed her chest suddenly with her hands - the wound was gone!

--I'm alive!

--Very good!I'm alive!I'm not dead!

Chen Ying almost cried with joy. At this time, she tapped the car window twice with one hand.

Chen Ying quickly looked sideways, and outside the car window, Douhu put one hand in his pocket, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and winked at Chen Ying with a smile.

Chen Ying quickly reached for the car keys and decided to drive away, but she missed the opportunity.

Chen Ying was startled and looked out the car window again. Douhu took out the car key from his trouser pocket and shook it: "Are you looking for this?"

Chen Ying took two seconds to judge the situation. She breathed a sigh of relief, lowered the window, and said with an indifferent expression: "Let's do it."

"Haha." Douhu smiled and was not in a hurry to speak.

He walked around to the other side of the car, opened the door, got into the passenger seat, and threw the car keys to Chen Ying: "Let's drive."

"You won't kill me?" Chen Ying took the car keys with a confused look on her face. "I really want to kill you, but you are still alive now?" Douhu sneered: "I'm not a pervert. I like to kill repeatedly."

"I think you are a pervert." Although Chen Ying was still afraid of this man, her anger was genuine.

Douhu still smiled, took off his coat and handed it to Chen Ying: "Put it on."

"unnecessary."

"Cover the blood, it's for your own good." Douhu said.

Chen Ying thought it made sense and patiently put on Douhu's coat.

"Aren't you curious about how you were resurrected?" Douhu asked.

Of course Chen Ying was curious. She clearly felt that her heart had been pierced and stopped immediately. It was impossible for her to be resurrected. But she was indeed still alive now, and it didn't look like she was in heaven or hell.

"Not curious." Chen Ying deliberately said something sarcastic, inserted the key and started the car.

"Haha, I actually didn't stab your heart. I controlled the position, but my dagger was coated with paralyzing toxin. You will have the illusion that your heart will stop beating immediately. How about this feeling of near death? Isn't it exciting? ?”

Chen Ying resisted the urge to curse, stepped on the accelerator, and drove out.

"Wow." Douhu leaned back, feeling her anger.

He stopped asking for trouble and took out a shriveled cigarette case from his trouser pocket.

"No smoking in my car." Chen Ying said in an unhappy tone.

"Okay, don't smoke." Douhu knew he was in the wrong, holding a cigarette in his mouth without lighting it.

"What's going on?" Chen Ying gave herself a step down.

Douhu laughed, "I do suspect that you are a traitor. I happened to meet you today, so I deceived you by the way."

"By the way?" Chen Ying frowned.

"Yeah, after I decided to deceive you, I immediately called White Rabbit. She happened to be nearby with Cute Sheep, so she came over with Cute Sheep. After I stab you, you can survive for at least a few minutes. You have enough time. I’ve figured it all out.”

"You...are such a psycho!"

Chen Ying felt her scalp numb: If the white rabbit and cute sheep were delayed for a while on the road, she would really die!I had long heard that Douhu, the Chinese zodiac sign, was mentally ill, but I didn’t expect it to be true.

Suddenly, Chen Ying had a flash of inspiration.

——Wait, something is wrong.

Chen Ying just spoke to Jiuhan [Sound Transmission] last night. According to his instructions, she came to talk to Lizi this morning. This matter was confidential.

However, Douhu came to Lizi to get weapons this morning and bumped into Chen Ying.

What's more, Douhu had coated his dagger with paralyzing poison in advance - he didn't want to fight anyone, so why would he do such a thing?

What's more, the cute sheep and white rabbit happened to be nearby - why would the people of the Chinese zodiac come to the territory of the Baichuan Group, or this kind of suburb?

All the above "coincidences" prompted Douhu to "conveniently" deceive Chen Ying to see if she was a traitor.

Novel dare not write like this.

Chen Ying slowed down the car and had a guess in her mind:

——The last time Gao Yang asked me to meet, I felt it was risky, but I still didn’t ask more, but it didn’t happen because of an accident.

——Is it possible that Gao Yang wanted to deceive me last time to see if I was a traitor? Given Gao Yang’s cautious character, he already had a [message], so there was no need to meet in person.

——Today, Douhu suddenly defrauded my identity again. Could it be that Douhu also had private contact with Gao Yang and participated in the task of finding Chen Chen?Are there even other collaborations?
——If this is true, it proves that the Zodiac and the Jiu Si Organization are in a cooperative relationship.On the other hand, the twelve zodiac signs and Qilin have a hostile relationship. At least, they cannot be cooperative.

——This is a great thing for the Baichuan Group.If the Zodiac cooperates with the Qilin Union, the Baichuan Group will only end up being "divided" between the two major organizations.

Chen Ying was full of thoughts, hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked tentatively: "Do you want to go to the balcony to smoke a cigarette every night?"
