Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 179
"Why?" Zofia was slightly surprised. You must know that if this sentence is thrown out, it will definitely cause an earthquake in the upper social circle of Ark—even if the condition is to join the Soma family, it will not be considered. Countless young talents have scratched their heads for this, but this man from the commoner class in front of him... he actually asked himself if he could refuse?

"Uh... If I have to give a reason..." Ke Lan thought for a while, then said, "The version with high EQ and the version with low EQ, Miss Zofia, which one do you want to hear?"

"Two kinds." Zofia said blankly.

"For the high EQ version... I think we have known each other for less than a month, and we have only met twice in total. We still don't know each other at all, so let's not talk about the foundation of our relationship. This is where we need to talk about marriage. Is the marriage progress a little too fast?"

"What about the low EQ version?" Zofia asked.

"I think it might be a trap."

"..."

Suddenly, the room fell into silence, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

After a long time, Zofia, who came to her senses, asked as calmly as possible: "Why do you think... you think this is a trap?"

"Anyone who isn't a normal person who has been tricked by that bug will think it's a trap..." Ke Lan said with a helpless smile, "You may not think it from your point of view, but if you look at it from a third-party point of view, If I agree to this condition, I will obviously be like a tool person with low IQ who is confused by beauty..."

Ke Lan paused, took a sip of water, and continued: "To put it in a more understandable way, it's like in a common fairy tale, the king promised the warrior 'as long as you can defeat the dragon, I will take the princess Marry you.' Same, but in fact, in the cave of that evil dragon, the armor and weapons of the warriors it has eaten have long been piled up as high as a hill."

"But what if the warrior really killed the dragon?" Zofia asked in a fit of anger.

"First of all, I can't be sure whether I am the protagonist warrior who slays the dragon or the supporting warrior who gives away the head, and secondly, this is just a fairy tale... In reality, those warriors who slay the dragon often become become an evil dragon, and most of the princesses end up being married to other countries as bargaining chips for political marriages."

"..."

"So, if I were a prince from a neighboring country instead of a little-known warrior, I would absolutely agree with Miss Zofia's proposal—after all, there is no man who doesn't like beautiful women ...It's a pity that I probably can't even be considered a warrior." Ke Lan laughed, "So don't make fun of me, if I really fall in love with Miss Zofia, it will be over. "

"Is it a bad thing to fall in love with me?" Zofia's tone was filled with imperceptible sullenness.

"If you are not careful, you will die, isn't it bad?" Ke Lan said with a smile.

"Then facing the threat of heretical sects, isn't it too bad?" Zofia asked tit for tat.

"Uh... What, what are you talking about? What heretical sect?" Although the expression on Ke Lan's face did not show any change, his heart suddenly "thumped"—this beautiful woman, the information she possessed It seems to be much more than I imagined.

"It's that...the heretical sect that brought the 'Seed of Corrosion' to the ark." Zofia said word by word.

"What is a seed of erosion? An indigenous creature? I've never heard of it...Miss Zofia, if you plan to use this method to trap me, then you may be disappointed...Because I , is really one, nothing, known, and known.”

"You can choose to continue to play dumb, but I think the information provided by General Maginot should not be biased." Zofia flicked her hair down again, and then said, "Because of the Pioneer, I and The military and the security bureau have always maintained a close cooperative relationship..."

It can be noticed that Zofia especially emphasized the word "I" in this sentence. She said that "I" has always maintained a close cooperative relationship with the military and the Security Bureau, not the Soma Consortium.

"Could this be a test?" Ke Lan thought in his heart, but he still didn't choose to be honest with the other party, but asked with a rather interested expression: "Oh... so it seems that this matter is very confidential Huh? I’m quite curious, can you tell me a thing or two? However, if you find out that your freedom will be restricted or you will be silenced altogether, then forget it.”

"You found the missing 776 team in the city under the sea." Zofia said again.

"Oh, it turns out that the Soma Consortium went to investigate the origin of that batch of equipment, so what?" Regarding this point, Ke Lan didn't feel that the other party was deceiving him. After all, he was rescued under the eyes of everyone. As for the origin of the ship and those antique equipment, there must be no way to fool them. Even Magino found him because he received information from the Soma Consortium.

"Do you know Liao Xing?"

"Crap!" Ke Lan cursed secretly in his heart. The other party had already moved out the key role of Liao Xing, obviously knowing the details of the conversation between himself and Machino—it seems that the one called The Maginot guy really sold himself.This made Ke Lan couldn't help but be more wary of that potbellied general... Fortunately, he didn't tell the whole truth last time, otherwise, he might not know how he died.

If Zofia knew the news, the heretic sect would naturally know that their infiltration into the Ark had reached an unimaginable level. Otherwise, the arrest operation by the Security Bureau would not have failed.

Ke Lan suddenly felt that his situation seemed to have become extremely dangerous all of a sudden.

"Do you think that your situation has suddenly become very dangerous?" Zofia chuckled softly, "Compared to that, the Arasaka Consortium doesn't seem so scary?"

"No, the Arasaka Consortium is more terrifying. I heard that the Dongying people would pour those who offended them into concrete piles, and then sink to the bottom of the sea..."

"Then what if I told you that the top management of the Arasaka consortium may have colluded with that heretical sect?"

"Isn't that more dangerous? I want to stay away from this Arasaka consortium right now, the farther the better." Ke Lan said without thinking.

"Then what if they're already after you?"

"……Grass."

[PS After this chapter was sent out, I found out that the chapter number was wrong. There are two chapters of 172. This chapter should be chapter 173, and the next chapter should be chapter 174. 】
