Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 119 The Forbidden Inheritance
"I really hope to cooperate with a big guy like you, Lieutenant General," Ke Lan shrugged, "but the problem is... I really failed to enter the city under the sea, and I almost lost my little one. Lives were lost, too."

"But you found the 48 special team that disappeared 776 years ago."

"...I just now know the number of that team is called this." Ke Lan smiled.

At the beginning, I was rescued from the sea under the eyes of everyone. There were many people on the Pioneer, and leaking news was almost inevitable—and through the serial code inscriptions on the equipment I brought out, the military There is no doubt that the production batch and delivery direction of the equipment can be easily found in the database.

"No, you're lying." But Magino didn't show any displeasure, "Otherwise Nick wouldn't have checked those sealed files—although he erased his own access records, he didn't What comes to mind is that when he uses his authority, all his actions on the Internet have been included in our monitoring."

Machino pointed to his eyes with his index and middle fingers: "Actually, his authority should have been withdrawn when he retired. The reason why he can still access the military database in his original capacity is because we gave him It's just a little back door he opened."

"Like a mouse." Ke Lan said softly.

"Ok?"

"When I was young, I saw a kind of ecological simulation cabin in a biological laboratory under the Ark public education facility. It was an educational facility specially designed to restore the natural ecology of some earth creatures, so that students can Further deepen the understanding of the knowledge in the textbook."

Ke Lan smiled self-deprecatingly, and continued: "In the simulation cabin, after going through all kinds of hardships and obstacles, the rats that have been artificially feral finally found the food hidden in the corner - when the rats saw it by themselves. Later, it moved swiftly and secretly. It not only overcame many obstacles, but also escaped the predators who were also put into the simulation cabin and looked at them, but it didn't know that the whole process was under the surveillance of the camera...even the Hard-earned food, and humans put it there specifically for it to find."

"Haha, I like this metaphor." Magino laughed. "It's indeed very similar—but let's get down to business, since you said you failed to enter the city under the sea, how did you find the 776 special team?"

Magino's smile narrowed, and he stared at Ke Lan seriously.

"May I ask you a question first?" Ke Lan said.

"But it doesn't matter."

"The hound has checked all the files of the 776 special team and Liao Xing, but there is no record in the database about their last mission... I want to know, what is the last mission that Liao Xing and the 776 special team performed? "

"Hiss..." Magino rubbed his temple irritably, "Why do you want to know this?"

"Because I met Liao Xing." Seeing that Machino was in hesitation, Ke Lan decided to throw out a big news, and only in this way could he force the other party to reveal more information to him.

"What did you say?!" As expected, Machino showed a shocked expression for the first time during the conversation. Although it was only a short moment, Ke Lan knew that he made the right bet with this move.

"It's just a dead body. I saw the name and serial number from the dog tag."

"You only saw Liao Xing's body? Where and under what circumstances did you see it? Besides Liao Xing, is there anyone else?" Magino asked repeatedly.

"Dear Lieutenant General Maginot," Ke Lan said with a slightly accentuated tone, "You asked me four questions. Since we are a cooperative relationship, I will replace the previous one with the answers to these four questions. You should Not bad, right? As long as you tell me the details of the last mission of the 776 special team, I will tell you everything I saw under the sea.”

"...Actually," Machino sighed suddenly, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but... even I don't know the content of the last mission performed by the 776 special team. I only know that it should be It's an extermination mission."

"Extermination mission?" Ke Lan was taken aback for a moment. At first he thought that the 776 special team was performing an exploration mission, but the problem was that the exploration mission would not use the heavy equipment of the fearless fighter, which was useless except for firepower and defense. If it is said that what they are carrying out is a mission of extermination, then this makes perfect sense.

"Other than that, I don't know the specific time, place and goal of the mission... 48 years ago, when I just graduated from the military academy."

"What about now? Now you don't know anything about it?" Ke Lan was speechless, "Since you don't know what the last mission of the 776 special team was, why did you ask me about those things?"

Even Ke Lan knew more about this mission than this lieutenant general, knowing that the black box left by the captain told him that the mission location was not in Zhonghai, or even "on the other side of Alpha Star".

"I can even tell you that no one who knows the specific content of that mission should be alive now." Machino said, "You should know that in the early days of landing on Alpha Star, due to the tense battle situation and human There has been no real contact with war for nearly a thousand years. The military command system on the Ark was once in chaos. Many of the missions accepted by the troops were temporary missions issued verbally by the superiors. Many of these missions did not leave files, and 776 The mission that the Special Forces were on was one such mission."

"Then how did you link the city under the sea with the traces of the 776 special team?" Ke Lan suddenly felt that things didn't seem to be as he expected, "Is it just because of the things I brought out?... That era Most of the wars broke out in the equatorial area around the landing point, and you and I know in our hearts that it is impossible for the 776 special team to be sent to Zhonghai, a hundred and eight thousand miles away, under such circumstances."

"Of course not." Magino shook his head, "Before you, there were actually some clues."

"Those people from the Security Bureau?"

"Correct."

Machino took out two exquisite glasses from the wine cabinet at the side and placed them on the tea table: "Would you like something to drink?"

Ke Lan: "Thank you, I'm not thirsty."

"Have you ever heard people say the words 'Great True God'?" Maginot said while pouring himself a glass full of dark brown liquid.

"No." Ke Lan directly denied that he did not intend to disclose this information until he was sure of the other party's true intentions.

"This is a god believed by a folk religious organization... Generally speaking, as long as this kind of organization does not endanger public safety, the Security Bureau will not find them."

"Since we've talked about this, it seems that this organization should have caused a lot of harm, right?" Ke Lan asked pretendingly, but couldn't help complaining in his heart: It's not just a lot of harm, if they are allowed to If it continues to develop, it is estimated that all human beings will be destroyed in their hands.

"In the beginning, this was just an organization born from the religious culture left over from the old era. There were no more than a thousand believers, and the gathering activities were limited to worship and prayer until they came into contact with taboos."

"Taboo?"

"As a relic hunter, you should know that the Alpha civilization also has its own religious beliefs, right?"

"I know." Ke Lan nodded.

"Among the followers of that organization, there is also a relic hunter. During a relic exploration operation, he accidentally accepted the religious inheritance from the Alpha civilization... and brought this inheritance back to the human world."
