The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 858 Useful Person
"Gulu——呲——"

The sound of flushing came from the toilet on the first floor, and after a while, Zhong Hyuk walked out.

He was tall, thin and tall, wearing a gray casual suit, with his hands in his pockets, looking carefree and uninhibited.

But in fact he had been restless and had gone to the toilet several times.

Jong Hyuk has been like this since he was a child. Although he is tall and looks easy to mess with, he is actually quite timid.

When he was a child, he watched horror movies, and he dared not turn off the lights to sleep for a month.

When he was a student, he was always the class idol because he was tall, good-looking, good in grades, and good at basketball. Thanks to this halo, he was never ostracized by his classmates.

However, when facing those weak classmates who were bullied, he hated the bullies deeply, but on the other hand, he did not have the courage to step forward to stop them. He was very afraid that he would be implicated and become the target of bullying.

So he could only pretend not to care, and over time he developed a strange protective color.

After awakening, he realized the very low-level [Shunfeng Er] and became a veritable weakling. However, when facing the strong, he still maintained his bad face of "it doesn't matter, I will die", and maintained his Poor dignity and confidence.

But Huang Furong saw through him at a glance and knew that he was a coward and was very afraid of death.

After the Scarlet Tide, Jong Hyuk survived the catastrophe and was lucky enough to understand [Phantom]. At first, he also swelled, thinking that he was no longer a weakling and could stand upright and speak.

It wasn't until he met a real strong man that he realized in despair that he was still the useless "class grass" he had been, and he dared not speak out against the "bully".

Zhong Hyuk sometimes thinks that if he had abandoned his companions and become a Sanren, this battle could have been avoided and he could have protected himself wisely.

But he didn't choose that. For the first time in his life, he mustered up the courage to take his "weak classmates" with him and join the relatively just party.This resulted in him having to face those terrible "bullies" tonight.

can i win

Will I survive?

Taking a step back, can I die with dignity and dignity?
Jonghyuk kept thinking about these things, and sadly realized that he had not changed at all. He was still a coward, nervous and scared when something happened, and kept running to the toilet.

Zhong He took a deep breath calmly and decided to go back and have barbecue with everyone. However, when he passed a room, a small whimpering sound suddenly came from inside, like the whispers of sad ghosts.

The door was open, but there was no one inside.

"Who?!" Zhong He suddenly became very nervous and activated [Phantom] to fully arm himself.

"Don't kill me...Yes, it's me..." Hong Xiaoxiao's panicked and embarrassed voice came from the air.

Two seconds later, she appeared.

She took off her shoes, sat on the bed with her legs arched, holding a small red object in her hand, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was stained with tears.

Zhong Hyuk immediately took back his Phantom Arms, feeling a little embarrassed.

He hesitated for a few seconds, walked into the room, and gently closed the door: "Hong Xiaoxiao, what are you doing here?"

Hong Xiaoxiao was very embarrassed. She quickly sat down on the bed and put on her shoes: "I, I'm talking to the can."

Zhong He's expression was subtle, and he couldn't help but worry about Hong Xiaoxiao's mental state, "Hong Xiaoxiao, you know that the can is no longer there, right?" "I know." Hong Xiaoxiao nodded and sniffed, "I didn't Crazy, I just, just..."

"I understand." Zhong He breathed a sigh of relief. He also sat down on the bed, keeping a polite distance: "When my mother was still alive, she would hold a photo album and talk to my father when nothing happened."

Hong Xiaoxiao lowered her head and clenched the red hairpin in her hand.

At first, Hong Xiaoxiao encouraged Can Can to grow her hair long, but Can Can's bangs in front were always messy and she started using hairpins. Hong Xiaoxiao gave her one of her favorite hairpins.

During the mission in Nigeria, Can Can forgot to bring this red hairpin. Later, when Hong Xiaoxiao packed Can Can's belongings, she left it behind as a thought.

These days, whenever Hong Xiaoxiao thinks about cans, she will hold her hairpin and talk as if she is chatting with cans.

She will also habitually become invisible. Hong Xiaoxiao insists that the canned food just went to another world and turned into a different life form. The [Invisibility] talent is an energy medium that allows them to sense each other.

Zhong He knew that Hong Xiaoxiao and Can Can had a deep relationship, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, Can Can will protect you. You will definitely be safe tonight."

Hong Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Actually, I have been thinking that it might be better if I die, so that my talents can be given to more useful people like you. Now I will only be a hindrance..."

"Hong Xiaoxiao!" Zhong He suddenly interrupted loudly: "What is useful?"

"Ah?" Hong Xiaoxiao raised her head.

"Let me ask you! What is considered a useful person? What is considered a useless person?" Zhong He said aggressively.

"I'm sorry, I, I..." Hong Xiaoxiao was a little aggrieved and didn't know what she said wrong.

Zhong Hyuk calmed down a little and softened his voice: "When I only had [Shunfeng Ear] before, I never felt that I was useless. Now that I have [Phantom], I don't feel that I am useful either."

Hong Xiaoxiao lowered her head and remained silent.

"I think everyone is unique. It's nonsense to say it's useful or useless." Zhong He said seriously: "Hong Xiaoxiao, if Can Can hears what you just said, will she be happy?"

Hong Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red, and she wanted to cry again.

"I've also heard about Can Can." Zhong He looked at the girl in front of him: "I know, you must think Can Can's death is not worth it."

Hong Xiaoxiao clenched her fists.

"But I want to tell you, this is Can Can's own choice. Whether she gives the hairpin to Keyou or blows Gao Yang away, it is her own choice. Although she is not strong, he has always been the master of his own destiny. , rather than someone’s vassal.”

Zhong He rubbed his nose irritably, "I'm not good at eloquence, so I can't speak clearly. Anyway, remember, you are not anyone's vassal, you are your own master."

"I gave you [invisibility] in the can, and I probably want to tell you this. Don't let her down, let alone yourself."

Two lines of heat flowed down Hong Xiaoxiao's face. She finally raised her head, her voice choked with sobs: "Thank you, I feel... much better."

"You're welcome, it's even." Zhong He smiled crookedly.

"Ah?" Hong Xiaoxiao was confused.
