Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 227 Time Stands Still
That guy just said that he would be able to join the crew club in the future... This not only did not make Ke Lan feel happy, but filled his heart with doubts: Even if he was neutral in the Leviathan incident and the turmoil in the East Ninth District He has done a lot of credit, and he is very clear that it is absolutely impossible to elevate his status above the "Big Three" by relying on this credit alone...

Could it be that this undead crew member has discovered his secret?Trying to win over yourself in this way?

No... No, if this undead crew member really has the authority over the Big Three as I guessed, then there is no need to win over a small person like himself, all he needs is an order, I only have two choices: obey and be forced to obey. Oh, yes, if my will is strong enough and my hands are fast enough, I might have a chance to kill myself.

Perhaps before they did so, it would be a good choice to find an excuse to escape to the wasteland, but Ke Lan had no idea how long he could survive alone in the wasteland.

It is estimated that many exile organizations in the wasteland have been controlled by that heretic sect. After seeing what these guys did, Ke Lan would rather choose to cooperate with Ark than join their camp. middle.

But then again, assuming that the undead crew already knew their secrets, why didn't they contact him, and didn't take any measures against him, and even let him leave the ark to perform missions outside? Don't they worry about running away?
If you think about it differently, the first step Ke Lan has to do is to put himself under house arrest... Even if his personal freedom is not restricted, at least he has to be under the surveillance of the Security Bureau all the time, let alone go to the wasteland. Even if you go out of the house, you must keep up with a large group of agents behind your buttocks.

As for the conditions of cooperation, this can be discussed slowly. If there is no agreement, coercive measures will be taken at the end-if Fang Zhou really does this, Ke Lan actually does not dislike it.The reason why he chose to keep it a secret was because he was worried that the upper echelons of the Ark simply didn't have the patience to negotiate conditions, so he skipped this stage and fast forwarded to the last step... After all, there have been precedents for similar things, and all human beings are involved When it comes to the fate of the future, the official attitude of the Ark has always tolerated the existence of a little bit of unstable factors.

"Forget it... let's leave this place first." Ke Lan thought in his heart, if the other party really wanted to take coercive measures against him, he probably would have done it a long time ago, and it is impossible that nothing has happened until now. , it is better to maintain the status quo and wait and see what happens...

Ke Lan quickly descended to the 22nd floor along the fire escape. Except for the elevator that he and Victoria took, the 22nd floor is the one with the highest number of stops in the other elevators.

He just ran out of the stairwell quickly, and the elevator door opened automatically in front of him... Although this scene looked a bit like a supernatural event, Ke Lan was not surprised—since the undead crew member passed through a cable If they can control Victoria's prosthetic body remotely, it's nothing to them to open an elevator door, but if they had known that they were willing to help this small favor, Ke Lan would go directly to the 29th floor and wait for other elevators to come up up.

He jumped into the car directly, and as expected, he even pressed the button to go back to the first floor. Before the elevator door was even fully closed, the whole car began to descend rapidly, as if he was afraid that Ke Lan would not be able to make it in time It's like escaping from the East Ninth District.

"These guys seem to be quite reliable..."

And when Ke Lan rushed out of the barren tower, the suspended structure of the entire East Ninth District had already begun to disintegrate, and a large number of building wreckage kept falling to the ground, which was completely a doomsday scene.

"Hiss... this is troublesome..." Looking at the severely damaged block in front of him, Ke Lan couldn't help taking a breath - if he was hit by something falling from above during the evacuation, It is estimated that it is difficult to leave even a whole body.

At this moment, he suddenly felt itchy in the palm of his left hand, and he clenched his fist subconsciously. However, something unexpected happened—at this moment, the surrounding scene turned into gray and white, and those burning The burning flames and falling wreckage were all frozen there, and the whole world... including Ke Lan himself, became a frozen picture.

But Ke Lan's consciousness was not as fixed as his body. He observed all this in horror, but in the next moment, the wailing sounds of countless men, women and children rang in his ears, and every scream was like a scream. Hitting the heavy drumstick on Ke Lan's consciousness, he was startled suddenly, everything in front of him returned to normal again, and those wailing sounds disappeared without a trace.

"How is this going?!"

Ke Lan looked around in surprise. At this time, the surrounding things had returned to their original colors, and the wreckage that had been "frozen" in mid-air had also fallen to the ground.

The scene just now gave him a feeling of deja vu - when Ke Lan used the "Holy Word" to kill Arasaka Yui, a similar situation also occurred, as if the time of the whole world stood still.

Could it be that someone nearby is launching the "Holy Word"?But……

"Wait...?!" Ke Lan seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and suddenly raised his left hand—on the palm of his left hand, there was a puddle of those fleshy tubes leaking at some point. The black liquid that came out... And now, the black liquid has almost been completely absorbed by his palm, leaving only a little bit left on the surface of the skin.

"This thing should have splashed on it when I killed Zi Yan not long ago..."

But what he didn't expect was that these things could be directly absorbed by human skin...

Ke Lan flicked his left hand a few times, and didn't feel anything strange, but when he clenched his left hand into a fist and focused all his attention on it, the "stopping phenomenon" just now turned out to be another Appeared once!

And what came with it was the scalp-numbing wail and the oppressive feeling like a mountain roar and a tsunami. Ke Lan only felt a needle-like pain in his head, and quickly got out of this strange state out.

"Couldn't this be the ability of the thing in the iron coffin... Time stops, if it can really stop time, isn't it too heaven-defying?" Ke Lan, a relic hunter of all kinds of weird phenomena, still feels that his world view seems to be slowly collapsing... Shouldn't only the gods in fairy tales be able to master this kind of ability?
Could it be that the thing in the "Iron Maiden" is... a god? !
