Gao Yang knew that Qing Ling wasn't joking, the man never joked.
The situation at hand was also considered in his expectations, Gao Yang decided to save Prince Kai at that time, in fact, it was not all a motherly behavior, he had other concerns, but just did not think clearly for a while.
Today a whole day of thinking down, he almost clear. The next moment was his own performance moment, and he decided to put on the strongest oracle in hot-blooded comics - the Mouthful!
"Qing Ling, I know that you've been able to live for so long because of your exceptional caution and killing determination."
"It's useless to kiss ass." Qing Ling coldly said.
"Then let me ask you a question: what is your purpose for surviving?"
"What purpose is needed to survive? Could it be that you want to die?" Qing Ling didn't understand.
"Of course I don't want to die, but everyone dies, even if you can live for 100 years you will still die." Gao Yang himself was a little embarrassed and smiled, "But when people live, they can't just eat, drink and shit, there's always something they want to do, right?"
Qing Ling was silent.
"Take your time to think about this question, there's no rush to answer." Gao Yang said, "I'll first give you a reason why you can't kill Prince Kai."
"Say."
"Although I've only been awakened for a few days, I've already deeply realized that being an awakened person is very dangerous. The reason you've survived for so long isn't all because you're strong and cautious."
"It's also because I have a second personality." Qing Ling himself was well aware of that.
"That's right, once you become an Awakened, you instinctively reject, alienate and defend yourself from all beasts. Beasts other than the Lost are aware of this, and over time the Awakened will reveal themselves. But you are different, you have a second personality, and while your second personality is also high strung and misogynistic, she can get along with all beasts.
"Other Awakened, they're not so lucky. For example, me, for example, Fat Jun, no matter how good the acting is, we are always on the defensive against the beasts, and once we find other awakened people we instinctively want to embrace the group, and embracing the group may seem like it makes us safer, but in fact ..."
Qing Ling stepped out of the shadows, "More dangerous."
"Yes, these beasts are not stupid, although according to Fat Jun's observation, they play humans twenty-four hours a day. For humans who are not awakened, they will also not actively engage in behaviors such as testing, luring, intimidating, or attacking. But that doesn't mean that they won't observe and keep an eye on us when they come into contact with us humans.
"Li Weiwei is the best proof of this, before this, she and I were childhood friends and had nothing to talk about, but when I awakened, she immediately revealed her true colors and put me to death."
Qing Ling nodded, "If more than a few humans are closely connected, they have reason to wonder if those humans are awakened. After all, at a ratio of one in ten thousand, this is not normal."
Gao Yang sighed, "Yes, but if we don't group together, we won't be able to get more information, grasp more rules, and search for the truth.... In this way, even if we each mete out until we're 100 years old, we'll still be-- "Gao Yang paused for a second and quoted Officer Huang in a subdued manner, "are orphans abandoned by God."
Qing Ling's gaze darted into thought.
"Back to my earlier question," Gao Yang stepped forward, "Qing Ling, what are you living for? Don't you want to figure out why this world has become like this? Don't you want to figure out the truth behind it? Or can we escape to a truly safe place, or even defeat these beasts, these are the things we must do."
Qing Ling was silent.
Gao Yang felt that there was something in it, his voice became even more impassioned, "Now the problem comes, we Awakened Ones, we can only become stronger and win the ultimate victory if we embrace the group. But once we hug the group, we will intensify the risk of exposure, which leads to us being wiped out before we have enough advantage."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Qing Ling asked.
"There is a way right now that can effectively reduce the risk of us being exposed."
"The Lost Ones." Qing Ling figured it out.
"Right, the Lost One is the best smokescreen." Gao Yang reasonably speculated, "Beasts play humans every second, so a beast might be able to recognize its own kind, but it might not be able to tell which kind of beast the other one is, so we just need to bring Prince Kai around often, instead, we won't arouse suspicion from other beasts."
"Moreover, in terms of my life path, Prince Kai and I are good friends. You have a relationship with me because of Li Weiwei's death.... It makes sense for the three of us to walk together in the future. On the contrary, if you kill Prince Kai now, this would be too suspicious."
Qing Ling nodded, "Li Weiwei was your childhood friend and my good girlfriend. Prince Kai is your good friend. If both of their beasts are dead and we two humans are in frequent contact, it will only cause more suspicion."
Gao Yang smiled, "It's important to stay close to the beasts, it's a cover. Officer Huang shouldn't kill Grand Master Liu for this reason as well."
Qing Ling said, "Okay, you convinced me."
Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief: phew, finally, he was able to muddle through.
...
In the evening, Gao Yang returned home, everything was as usual, Mom and Dad chanted again about his behavior of staying out at night, nothing else was noticed.
Gao Yang coped with some, returned to the bedroom and unlocked the door, lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

...
Early the next morning, a light rain fell.
Gao Yang held an umbrella and walked on the wet and congested streets, watching the commuters waiting for the traffic lights, squeezing buses and subway stations in dismay, and could not help but feel a sense of emotion - these beasts can be really dedicated ah, in the past, I always said that the "social animals," I did not expect that it is really.
Gao Yang went to school, during the morning study period, the homeroom teacher walked in: "Gao Yang, Qing Ling, the police came, Li Weiwei matter, asked you to go to the office."
It was clear that Li Weiwei's death was only a few days ago, but when the homeroom teacher spoke about her, her face was no longer heavy and regretful, it became very cold and even a little impatient.
Gao Yang and Qing Ling got up and walked out of the classroom to the office.
Officer Huang was sitting in the office smoking, and there were no other teachers inside.
"Did you handle the matter last time?" Qing Ling asked.
"Don't worry, no traces were left." Officer Huang flicked the ashes of his cigarette, "I heard from Fat Jun about the reasons for your failure."
"We can do it again." Qing Ling said, "This time it's absolutely successful."
Officer Huang was noncommittal, he put his cigarette into the ashtray and slowly pressed it out, "I've known my wife since high school, she's my first love, we've been together for many years. I think I know her well enough, I mean ... as a 'human identity', I know her well."
Officer Huang stood up and looked around, reconfirming that the office was absolutely safe before lowering his voice and continuing, "But a while ago, my wife became not quite right. I thought at the time that she had most likely discovered something and started to suspect me. Although I've never tested my wife, I used to think she was a Lostie, but if she started to suspect me, it could never be a Lostie.
"All this time, I've been agonizingly struggling with fear and insecurity, and I finally turned on her. It just so happened that I met you guys again, which led to this action."
Officer Huang raised his hands, rubbed his face vigorously, and let out a long breath, "Thank goodness it didn't work out, or else I would have been worse off than dead for the rest of my life."
"There was a change in plan?" Gao Yang asked.
"Yes, the plan has changed." Officer Huang stood up, "I realized last night that I misunderstood my wife. She was out of sorts throughout because she was hiding something from me. She confessed to me last night, and to be honest, I was very shocked to know that matter."
"What was it?"
"My wife," Officer Huang looked at Gao Yang and Qing Ling with a furtive gaze, "is pregnant."
