Chapter 20 - 20.Interview

"Ah! Ahhh ..." shouted the fat Jun in the chair, writhing his obese body frantically for seven or eight seconds before gradually calming down.

"I ... I'm not dead?" Fat Jun gasped, looked down, the bullet hit his right arm, the strange thing is that the shot right arm did not bleed, only leaving a small deep black hole.

Immediately after, fat Jun's right arm began to "melt", followed by "fermentation", and finally "grumble grumble" into a huge lump of sarcoma-like things. "He spat out the bullet with a snort.

A few seconds later, the arm slowly returned to its original state.

The rest of the three men watched.

Officer Huang retrieved his gun, "Fat Jun, this arm of yours is definitely a beast, there is no such strange body alienation ability in the list of talent sequences that I know of." Officer Huang rubbed his temples with his thumbs and frowned, "But you, of all people, are still human for now."

"Currently?" Fat Jun was a bit discouraged.

Officer Huang sighed and looked at Gao Yang, "What are your thoughts?"

"Brother Yang! Brother Yang save me ah ...," Fat Jun was about to cry, "I know you won't give up on me, you even saved Kai didn't you, how can you bear to kill me!"

"First do not kill." Gao Yang said.

"Why?" Prince Kai was a bit disappointed, "It's useless to keep this kid, just get him killed."

"How am I useless!" Fat Jun shouted, "I'm much more useful than you! You this, this ..." Fat Jun finally didn't say the three words 'Lost Man'.

Gao Yang looked at Fat Jun: "The alienation on his arm should be caused by the white cat's bite. If the alienation eventually spreads to his entire body, it won't be too late to kill him. But if the alienation is only limited to his arm, Fat Jun is still more valuable alive."

"Right, right, right!" Fat Jun's desire for survival came up, "I can heal, I'm the team's only nurse! I have value!"

Officer Huang pondered a little, "Alright, tied up, observe for a few days first."

Officer Huang then looked at Prince Kai, "This honorable and difficult task is yours. Eat and drink enough, don't starve him to death."

"No problem." Prince Kai patted his chest and smiled badly, "I'll serve him well!"

...

The three of them left the underground garage and returned to the living room.

Unconsciously it was already 5am and the sky was about to break. The floor-to-ceiling windows were facing the bustling river view, and the three of them were sitting on the lazy sofa, drinking beer and watching the sparkling river surface being dyed a little bit from grayish green to light pink by the morning sun.

After some discussion, Officer Huang concluded, "This is the first time I've seen Fat Jun in this situation. But he shouldn't be a beast, at least not yet."

"That white cat that bites people, is it a beast?" Gao Yang smothered his head and pondered, "I thought that beasts would only disguise themselves as humans, could there be animal forms? Also, isn't it true that some beasts can get infected if bitten? Just like zombies?"

"Not sure." Officer Huang shook his head, "The organization's connector had revealed to me that there are far more than the two major categories of demented beasts and angry beasts in this world.... What we understand is just the tip of the iceberg."

Speaking of this, Officer Huang glanced sideways at Prince Kai.

Prince Kai was too excited all night, and before the body was also partially animalized to fight, and at this moment, his physical strength was not enough, and he nestled in the sofa and fell asleep, and also snored.

"This friend of yours ... may also be a new type among demented beasts."

Gao Yang nodded.

He also found out that Prince Kai was very different from Liu Dajie.

Liu would automatically ignore and filter out any verbal information related to the "beast", and if it was a picture information related to the beast, or even something personally experienced, it was not clear how it would react to Liu, but Officer Huang deduced that it would most likely make the "lost person "stimulated, and then violent beast.

But this Prince Kai, whether it is related to the beast of the language information, picture information, or personal experience, he will not filter out, but also did not rampage, but directly remember, understand, and rationalization. Simply put, he never feels like a beast, and is adamant that he is a person. Could all ... this really be because of his low IQ?

"I wonder if it's an illusion." Officer Huang laughed to himself, "Ever since I met you, I feel that this world is becoming more and more unsafe, a certain delicate balance from before is being broken, and some things seem to be moving in an out-of-control direction. I've been awakened for many years, and for the first time I feel this way."

"... "Gao Yang didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Counting down, I've also come into contact with quite a few Awakened people." Officer Huang pulled out his cigarette case, "Some of them are strong, some are weak, some are reckless, some are meticulous, some are crazy, and some are cold blooded ..."

Officer Huang narrowed his eyes, "But most of them died, for various reasons."

Gao Yang did not say anything, quietly waiting for the following.

"You are different." Officer Huang glanced sideways at Gao Yang, "You kid, you have a very special temperament."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, I think you can definitely live for a long time."

"Really?" This is something that Gao Yang can love to hear, honestly, he is quite afraid of death, when you die, there is nothing left, and when you live, there is always hope.

"So ... I think I am dangerous." Officer Huang sank his voice.

"Why?"

"I was quite fond of reading comics when I was a kid, and the people who can live for a long time are usually the protagonists. But the people around the protagonist are usually very short-lived ..."

Gao Yang sweating: well said, I can't refute, I am indeed different from others, first of all, I crossed over to this world, and also have a magical system at the time of awakening, shamelessly say, call this situation "protagonist halo" is not too much. But maybe this is just a kind of survivor bias, maybe "travelers" thousands, I'm not the first, nor the last ...

Gao Yang was a bit lost in thought.

Officer Huang stood up: "It's decided, I'm going to try to stay away from you from now on."

"Ah?" Gao Yang was surprised, "Officer Huang, don't leave me behind."

"That's not true." Officer Huang took a drag on his cigarette and revealed an inscrutable smile, "What I mean is that we have to join the organization as soon as possible. That way, you'll have more companions around you, and probabilistically speaking, the risk of me taking the fall will be effectively equalized."

Gao Yang was dumbfounded: uncle, I think you're the one who crossed over!

Officer Huang took out a note pad and pen and quickly wrote down the time and address, "Tonight at 12:00, you come with Qing Ling and I'll take you to the interview."

"Good!" Gao Yang took the note.

...

Gao Yang took a nap at Prince Kai's house and went to school afterward.

Prince Kai stayed behind to watch over Fat Jun, and in the meantime, he continued his cultivation. Because of last night's sudden "explosion of seed", Prince Kai think this is the effect of cultivation, now become very energetic, it seems to use this to fool him honestly for a few days will not be a problem.

After the morning study, Gao Yang asked Qing Ling to go to the rooftop, briefly explained what happened last night, of course, about Prince Kai's seed explosion, he tried to make light of it.

Qing Ling didn't make any comments.

In the morning, Gao Yang went to find the English class representative Wan Sisi to ask for advice on a few English questions, the other party was flattered and happily answered the questions for him, and after talking about the questions, Wan Sisi smoothly invited Gao Yang to have lunch with him, and of course, the other students.

Gao Yang gladly accepted, and spent a "quite pleasant" lunch time with a few classmates, and everyone believed that his previous lack of socialization was due to his excessive grief over Li Weiwei's death.

Nothing happened in the afternoon.

Nothing happened in the evening study hall.

At the end of the evening study, Gao Yang met up with Qing Ling in the alley near the school, which was already their usual meeting place. As soon as he saw Qing Ling, Gao Yang started to take off his clothes.

"No need." Qing Ling said.

"No disguise today?" Gao Yang was a bit surprised.

"Uh-huh." Qing Ling glanced at the note, "The location is 121 Huang Song Street in Fei Yang District. It's too far there, and there's a bridge to cross, so it's impossible for us to walk."

"What then?"

Qing Ling thought about it, "Then take the last subway in name only."

"Okay."

The two walked out of the alleyway, Qing Ling put her hands around Gao Yang's arm, her head tilted on Gao Yang's shoulder, acting like a birdie, "Let's pretend to be students in early love, the behavior is more reasonable."

"Good." Gao Yang had no opinion. How to say it? In an environment where there are beasts on all sides, being able to be hugged by a beautiful bodyguard with a super high force value, a steady sense of security.

The two of them took the subway and exited the station half an hour later, arriving at the Fei Yang district in the west of the river, and then the two of them walked for almost twenty minutes at night, during which Qing Ling also bought spicy hot pots on a street of late night snacks - she really liked spicy hot pots!

The area around Huang Song Street was an old town to be demolished, and both sides of the street were full of two- and three-story low-rise concrete houses. Outdated stores closed their doors early, the road is in disrepair, potholes, street lamps are not a few good, I think the camera should also be "broken".

Two people along the door number all the way to find, soon found 121.

An inconspicuous small storefront, half pulling the rusty roller shutter, inside hanging a piece of old-fashioned blue cloth, behind the blue cloth fluorescent flashes, the sound effects of fighting and explosions, vaguely visible are some old street game machines.

"I can't imagine that there are still arcade rooms like this now." Gao Yang especially loved to come to this kind of place when he was a kid, and for 50 cents, he could hang out for most of the day. Of course, his operation was so stingy that he mainly stood behind those big brothers and watched how they passed the level with a single coin, now that I think about it, isn't this the earliest game anchors.

"Go, go in." Qing Ling put on her mask.

"Wait a minute." Gao Yang shouted.

"What?"

"Give me a song first."
